STRAW VICTORY,
SUFFRAGE CLAIM
Miss Todd Says Contested Vote
in Upstate Chautauqua
Favored Cause.

So many and such varying rumors
have been afoat concerning the straw
votes on suffrage taken in fifteen New
York towns after the debates between
Miss Helen Todd, of California, and
Miss Lucy Price, of Ohio, on the Chau-
tauqua lecture circuit, that Miss Todd
yesterday gave out the exact MAORI
ties for and against votes for women
in each of the towns. Miss Todd spoke
for suffrage and Miss Price for anti
suffrage, but neither of the debaters
suggested the straw vote. That was
started by the Chautauqua management.
1t was the management, too, that was
responsible for disseminating the vote.
Their reason was that sit did not con-
tribute materially to the interest Of the
debate and caused dissatisfaction to
some people" There was an impression
abroad that Miss Todd said Miss Price
asked to have the vote stopped-or
perhaps it was the other way about.
Anyhow, both Miss Todd and Miss Price
were annoyed by the charges.
Here is the vote, signed and sworn
to by Miss Todd:
Result of straw vote after debate be-
tween Lucy Price and Helen Todd on

GRACE STRACHAN
QU1TSEDUCATORS
Resigns from National AS
ISOLATION, After Defeat
for Presidency.

Oakland, Cal, Aug. 21.-Miss Grace
C. Strachan, district superintendent of
schools of Brooklyn, N. Y, has re-
signed from the National Education
Association, it became known to-day,
following her defeat in a bitter con-
test for the presidency of the organi-
cation. Miss Strachan charges that her
defeat was brought about by unfair
means and factional disloyalty.
81 have no regard for the National
Education Association" said Miss
Strachan to-day. 81 have sent in my
resignation and it should be in the
hands of the secretary by this TIME"
Delegates to the convention are dis
cussing the question whether Miss
Strachan's action means a split in the
association.
At stormy session Miss Strachan
vainly sought to address the delegates
just before the election. She forced
the question to vote and was defeated,
479 to 1874. DR.. David Bancroft John
son, president of Winthrop Normal and
Industrial College, of Rock Hill, S. c.,
was elected president.
Through her refusal to participate
further in the business of the conven-
ton Miss Strachan automatically loses
active membership in the body, accord
ing to D. w. Springer, the secretary,
who said:
"Miss Strachan's action is unprece-
dented in the history of the National
Educational Association and is gen
orally regretted"
Miss Strachan later issued signed
statement in which she cited illustra-
tions to prove that her Catholic faith
was an argument used against her.
ave have incontrovertible evidence
that ! was made the subject of most
outrageous attacks and most unworthy
tactics" the statement says.
Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, of Chicago
wrote, in reply TO letter from Miss
Katherine D. Black. Of New York:
When in Springfield | met a number
Of schoolmasters. Strange objections
came up that in California as well as
in Chicago at present, there was a de-
cided bias against Catholics. To my
great surprise the men said that it was
not the day for a Catholic to come
forward in California, which would
cast the majority of votes
81 came TO California and presented
my candidacy in the firm belief that |
would be accorded at least fair play.
But soon had a rude awakening.
at is not only sad to find in this,
the twentieth century. there still re-
mains so much of the jealousy, the in
tolerance, the injustice of the Middle
Ages, but it is discouraging to find that
in an association supposed to include
the leading educators and mentors of
the children of our country. and TO eX-

Atlanta Hears Identity
of One LynCher Is Known

Atlanta, Aug. Pit was intimated in
official circles here tonight that the
identity of member of the so-called
vigilance committee" that lynched Leo
NJ. Frank was known to some officials,
and that the information probably
would be placed before Governor Har-
ris next week.
Herbert Clay, of Marietta. Solicitor
General Of the Blue Ridge Circuit,
which includes Cobb County, called on
Gov. Harris this morning and assured
him he would exert every eort within
his power to detect the members of the
mob that lynched Frank and TO bring
them to justice. Solicitor Clay informed
the Governor that Judge II. l.. Patter-
son, Of the Blue Ridge Circuit, had
called q special term of the Superior
Court in Cobb County on the last Mon
day in August to direct a special grand
jury investigation of the lynchng.
The sale Of photographs showing the
body Of Frank hanging to the tree near
Marietta was ordered stopped Saturday
by the City Council.

ing" he said, "but this awful thing,
coming on top of other matters, has
kept me very busy. What is the news
in New York;"
Leave Georgia Alone!"
Frankly, Governor" ! asked him,
"do you think there is a chance of
any one being indicted, much less
punished"
~ fear not" he replied, "but l do
not know. Something may come of
our efforts. We are doing what we
can. Please say that to the folks up
North. Disabuse their minds of the
impression that there is no Law or
justice here. Please re fair to Geor-
gia. Help US; don't hurt US. Be fair
to Georgia."
1t was something more than a re-
quest; it was plea, sincere and heart
felt. a plea that, in my opinion, voices
the wish of all Georgia, that outside
interference cease.
Coming north on the New Orleans
Limited many persons who had seen
me in Atlanta and others who knew
me through them spoke as did the
Governor
"You have seen our people" one Of
these said to me. you have been in
Marietta. Your reports, | am told,
have been absolutely fair and the first
in any Northern paper u give the
impression that Georgia had side In
the Frank case. When you get hone
tell your friends aud the friends Of
Frank to leave Georgia alone, TO judge
her on her merits. and not on the
campaign that has been waged in this
case.
"Otherwise, if this agitation keeps
OF well, it will result in injustice to
class in our state that has stood
we'll and deserves to stand velour
Jewish friends and neighbors.'

in the picture of which there is one
outstanding figure-that of soft-slo-
