RIGHT To WOMEN
To PRACTICE LAW
Especial to Times-Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ga, August 18.-The
plea of women lawyers for the right
to practice at the Georgia bar, which
was side-t tracked at the present ses-
sion of the general assembly becaus :
of the Western & Atlantic and other
big problems, has, by no means, been
abandoned. 1t will be continued in the
courts and, in addition, the bill will be
introduced again at the next session OF
the legislature.
In this connection it is Of interest tC
know that the Atlanta Law School,
the leading institution of its kind in
the state, has numbered among IT'S
graduates in the past few years. No
less than four women, each of whom
is vitality interested in securing this
concession for her sex.
Notably among these is Mrs. Minnie
Anderson Hale, who received her de-
gree of LII. B. from the Atlanta Law
School in 1911, and whose fight foy
the recognition of women as lawyers
has become a matter of more than
statewide intrest. Immediately upon
receiving her degree, Mrs. Hale APP
piled for admission to the bar, which
right was, of course, denied her. Since
that time she has not ceased to work
for this cause, and now, in addition &c
the bill pending in the legislature, she
has a petition before the supreme
court of the state based on the laws az
they now exist.
Mrs. Georgia H. Weaver, a class
mate of Mrs. Hale. who is now sue
cessfully practicing law in West VII
ginia, is no less interested in the mat
ter of securing this right for Georgia
women. e,

wilma IS IMPORTANT OBJECT
in kAISER'S POWERFUL DRIVE

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 49,
Wilma is one of the most important i'm
mediate detectives of the Teutonic
drives in Russia, for its capture and
retention by the Germans would not
only threaten the communication of
the Tsar's armies but would also Grip
pie the second line of Russian defense
along the Bug, or the Brest Litovsk
line. The holding of Wilma would
practically cut out the northern COM
munications of the powerful fortress
and military entrepot upon the Bug.
and bring with it more startling
change in the eastern campaign than
even the capture of Warsaw. A d.
scription of this important railway,
trading, and manufacturing city is
given in a statement on war geography
issued today by the National Geo
graphic Society. 1t reads:
wilma is city of 10000, an indus
trial and trade center, situated in the
midst of region of tangled forests,
almost impossible marshes, and low
lying lakes, at the intersection OF tie
railway from Warsaw to Pe.rog,a9
and from Libau, the Baltic port, to
Rostof, at the mouth of the Don It'll
lies nearly midway between the cities
of Grodno and Dbinsk, two other
points upon the Warsaw Petrograd
Railway threatened by the German
invaders. Petrograd lies 436 miles
away to the north-north-west of Wilma,
and the country in between is laby-
rinth of lakes, morass, woodland and
wet meadowland. 1t is more than III
miles from the German frontier, to-
ward which it is guarded by the for
tress of Kovno in the northwest.
The city is an ancient one, Of
which fact its appearance bears every
testimony, for its irregular ground
plan struggles among, around and
over the knot of low hills upon which
the city is built in accordance with the
traditional aimlessness of the Middle
Ages It's streets are narrow, and not
especially well-kept. 1t wears, how
ever, a general air of comfortable
prosperity; for Wilma sends large
quantities of goods to the Black Sea
and to the Baltic. 1t handles a very
extensive business in grains and tim
Der, articles which it exported before
the present war in great quantities to
Germany, to Holland, and to England
It also has important textile and
leather industries. Wilma manufactur-
,es considerable tobacco, knit goods,
clothing. artificial flowers and gloves.
The old town is rich in memories.
A mass of ruins that were once bril-
liant castle of the Jagellons is here.
Wilma was probably founded in the
early part of the 10th century, but is
first mentioned as the chief fortified
town of the Lithuanians in 1928. II
was the nucleus about which the great
Lithunonian power grew, and capital
in which the ancient religious service
was continued until the end CT the 14th
century. The God Perkunas housed
here in a special temple and protector
his people in their swamp and wood
land until destroyed ruthlessly in 1887
by Prince Jagiello, after his conVers-
ion and baptism

TAX COMMISSIONER BEFORE
 CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Suggests Connecticut Taxation at Fit
 Subject for Their Investigation.

A healthy condition in the finances of the state was indicated at the meet ing of the directors of the Connecti cut State Chamber of Commerce at Hartford Friday. State Treasurer F. $. Chamberlain and Tax Commission CT William H. Corbin delivered brief addresses. MT. Chamberlain. said:
 Nobody can tell as yet how the recently passed tax laws will work out. but the indications are that the new system will not only benefit the state, but will be fairer to the taxpay- CTS. There was some money in the treasury when I took office, and we cleaned up the year with some $500, 900 clear. The tax on the railroads and street railways will bring in this year this is indicative of a generally pros porous financial condition"
 MT. Corbin said that while the new tax law had been operative only a short time it had attracted much at tention and it was being considered for adoption by other states.
 And in this connection I would sug- gest that your chamber appoint com mittee to delve into the subject of tax ation in Connecticut" said MT. Cor bin.
 The following committee appoint ments were made by President Charles A. Pease of Hartford:
 Finance-Sidney P. Butler, New Ha- ven, chairman Oliver F. Toop, Man chester; R. J. Patrick, Derby

FOUND WOUNDED BUCK
 SWIMMING JORDAN COVE
John Reiser Discovered Animal Just
 Before lt Died.

One of the largest buck deer that has been seen in these parts in many months was found struggling in the near the Pleasure Beach dock Thurs day about noon by John Reiger of Great Neck. Reiger, getting a boat, rowed out to the animal and seeing that it was badly injured, rowed ashore and notified the game warden,
 who instructed him to kill the animal at once and dispose of it as he saw fit. By the time that Reiger has row ed to the animal again, it had died, so
 he lowed it ashore and dressed it at once.
 When it was dressed the deer was found to be shot in several places but probably the shot that killed the an inal was the one that was found in the left foreleg, right on the knee,
 which must have been fired at very close range by poor marksman as
 the knee was so badly splintered and shot away that it was just hanging
 by the skin,y but was evidently a fresh-
 ly made wound. It is thought that the animal swam the cove from Mill stone to Pleasure Beach and the long weakened the animal so that it died of exhaustion. On the opposite side from the broken leg the neck of the animal was well filled with as many as 50 large sized shot and on the side where the leg was broken on the animals shoulder three large buck shot were found, but the shots in the neck and
 on the shoulder were only through the animals hide and did not pene-
 trate the flesh. On the right hind quarter a shot which looked as though it came from a .38 calibre rifle was found imbedded about an inch in the flesh, which showed that the animal was shot by someone when it was trying to get away.
 The animal, dressed, weighed about 200 pounds and was in excellent flesh. The head carried pair of beautiful five-point antlers and the head and antlers will be preserved by Mir, Reiger.

WILL OPPOSE PARDON
 FOR ADDIE BURNS.
State Attorney Hull Declares He Will
 Appear Before Board.

Addie Burns of New London, when she appears before the board of par dons asking that she be released from the state prison at wethersfield, will have to meet the opposition of State Attorney Hadiai A. Hull
 Ma1or" Hull was asked on Friday, said the New London Day, if he would oppose the application for pardon. Yes, 1 will" he replied. Unless something unexpected comes to me before the board meets, I fully expect to.p ;
 Friends of the Burns woman who are active in the movement for a par don had hoped that the state attorney would not oppose this application. On the previous applications Major Hull appeared4before the board asking that the application. for pardon be denied. Once after filing the application for pardon the Burns woman let 1t go by default because it became known that State Attorney Hull would appear in opposition. and it was felt that chance of favorable action by the board was slight under such conditions.
 The board of pardons meets on Mon- day, Dec. IS. There are about a dozen pardons asked in New London county cases and Major Hull will rbe at the session to be heard in relation to all the applications from this county
 Addte Burns is serving a sentence of 12 to 20 years for statutory offense op IS year old May Burns of New Haven She has been at the state prison sev- eral years and has been a model pris- oner.

Salt Lake, Utah. Nov. 19.-In a statement made public tonight Gov ernor Spry of Utah announced his in- tention to "clear the state of the law less element that now infests the state and to see to it that infiammatory street speaking is stopped
 The governors announcement came as the aftermath to the execution of Joseph Hillstrom for the murder of J. G. Morrison and Morrison's son on January 10, 1914.
 Hillstrom was put to death by a firing squad in the state prison here at 7.42 a. m. today. His case attract CT countrywide attention and prompt ed the intercession of President Will son. the Swedish minister to the United States and the American Fed ation of Labor in his behalf. The reply of Governor Spry to President Wilson's second message asking a re- spite for Hillstrom definitely termi- mated the hopes of Hillstrom's sym pathizers that stay of execution might be granted. The governor re- fused to grant a respite on the ground that no new evidence tending to point to Hiilstrom's innocence had been pre- sented. Under the Utah law Hill- strom was allowed to choose between hanging or shooting.
