THE SUFFRAGETTES
'4DISCOVER" Joker
IN HAY ARMY BILL
Following Benson, Socialist
Presidential Candidate,
Women Think Draft"
Measure Dangerous"
BY HUGH ROBERTS

Washington, September 26-(Special)
The suffragettes of Washington have
discovered a Joker" in the army re-
organization BILL and in an editorial in
the Suffragist, intimate that such pat
ent trick could not have been played
had they been in possession of the ballot.
The Suffragist alleges that that sec
ton of the Hay bill which permits the
President to maintain standing battalions
By drafting from the unorganized militia,
means "conscription in time of profound
peace
The alleged attitude of the women of
the nation respecting the Hay legislation
is thus set out in the Suffragist:
Necessary or not, such a law goes
right to the heart of women; and it is
no longer endurable that it could be
adopted without their sanction. 1t is GER
tain that many women will regard this
clause with profound distrust
THAT Congress has taken a step of
this moment before the women of the
country as a whole have had an oppor-
turity to express their will in the matter,
is revealing to them their pitiable polit-
ical helplessness."
An investigation of the statute proves
that the President is authorized to draft
only male citizens. Democrats, in con-
sequence are wondering at the alarm of
the female politicians.

CRACKER" STATE
DEMOCRATS o X"
PRESIDENT WILSON
Tom Watson, Dorsey Sup
porter, Didn't Succeed in
Securing Silence at the
Macon Convention

Macon, Ca, September 26.-The dem
ocratic state convention meeting here
today to ratify the state primary of
September 70, Endorsed the administra-
ton of President Wilson, formally nomi-
mated Hugh M. Dorsey of Atlanta for
governor, approved the remainder of the
state ticket where candidates for oem-
ocratic nomination had majorites and
named three candidates for the state
court of appeals out of field of IA, none
of whom had majority
The principal contest was over places
for the three new seats on the appellate
court. w. F. George of Vienna, Roscoe
Luke of Townsville and w. F. Jenkins
of Eatonton who were named. W. H. p.
Bloodworth of Forsyth and Alexander
Stephens of Atlanta who ran first and
second in the popular VOTE failed to get
nominated.
The convention instructed it's new ex-
ecutiye committee to provide in future
for run-off primary in cases similar
to the appellate court race where no
candidate got majority
The resolution indorsing the national
administration read
1.-The Importance of this unqualified in
dorsement is emphasized by the fact that
for the first time in many years the OPP
position has struck a keynote OF sec
tional animosity, and is making an appeal
to sectional prejudice unworthy of the
spirit of national fraternity"
Circulars credited to Thomas e. Wat
son of Thomas, Ca. a Dorsey supporter,
had been distributed on the floor of the
convention, urging that no action be
taken on the proposed Endorsement of
President Wilson.
Another resolution adopted, read:
I'VE deplore and condemn the tendency
to outside interference with such au-
thority of the state, as by law, custom
and tradition belong to the state, and
especially do we condemn as dangerous
and threatening to the liberties of the
citizens any usurpation of authority that
would take from the Jurisdiction of the
courts within the state for trial in a
foreign jurisdiction, any citizen of this,
or any other state. Such a policy is I'M
American and inquisitorial and is subver-
sive of fundamental constitutional right
guaranteed to every citizen of the United
States.'
Some such resolution, is had been said,
would be adopted with reference to an
intention credited to the attorney general
of the United States to seek to indict
and try Watson in some other state than
Georgia for alleged violations of postal
laws in connection with articles appear
ing in his publications Watson has
twice been indicted in the federal court
in Georgia on similar charges. The first
indictment was quashed on technicalities
and the second case resulted in a mis-
tria

WILL RETURN TO STATE

Nashville, September 26.-D. d. Over
ton arrested in Smithville, Tenn, last
night charged with the murder of Judge
June, was brought to Nashville late this
evening and placed in jail. The prisoner
was brought here by Sheriff G. c.
Pickett of DeKalb county, accompanied
by several officers from Huntsville
who had hurried to Smithville to iden-
tify the prisoner.
Overton has not denied his identity
and says he is ready to return to
Huntsville. He will make no fight
against extradition. Overton says the
only reason he has remained away from
Huntsville so long is that he feared
feeling was so tense he could not Sc
cure a fair trial. He declares he is in
nocent of the murder of Judge Law
Ter.
The murder of Judge Lawler was one
Of the most sensational crimes in the
history of Alabama He was killed
shortly after he had defeated Overton
for the nomination for probate Judge
Overton, who formerly was chief of
police of Huntsville, and at the time
,of the murder citcuft court clerk of
Madison county, disappeared from
f1uLlSVllie d uHe -, Oh the udy the DOuy
of Judge Lawler was found weighted
down with iron in the Tennessee river
slough at Whitesburg. 1t was believed
he had been in hiding in this section
until a short time ago. The officers
have followed innumerable trails but
all have proved without result up to
this time. Since Overton disappeared he
has been indicted by the grand jury on
the charge of murder and two others
have been indicted as accomplices. They
are in Jail in Birmingham. Two promi-
nent men, Shelby S. Peasants, a law
yer, and Sheriff Robert Phillips, have
committed suicide since the Lawler
case developed.

thereafter Mr.. Turner conversed with
the sheriff and advised him to bring
Overton to Montgomery, as being more
accessible for the state prosecuting at
torneys, Joseph Tate of Birmingham
and Fritz Thompson, solicitor of the
Fourth circuit The sheriff declared
that the prisoner would be brought to
Montgomery as hastily as possible and
tonight it was presumed that Overton
was en- route to this city. He should
reach here tomorrow morning.
Governor Henderson early today re-
ceived telegram advising him of the
arrest and Identification of Overton.
1t was stated that no request had been
made on the governors office for requi-
sftion, the superstition being that Ov-
erton would voluntarily return to
Alabama.

NEUTRALITY
ARE D|SCUSSEDBY
JOINT COMMISSION
Proposition Is Submitted
Which Would Discourage
Americans Participating
in Mexican Brawls

New London, September 26-Revi-
view to discouraging Americans from
participating in Mexican factional con-
flicts, was suggested at the meeting
of the Mexican American joint confer
ence today. 1t was understood the
members will deal more fully with
the neutrality laws.
The discussion of the neutrality laws
was incident to consideration of sug-
gested plans for the cooperation of
the two nations in maintaining peace
along the border. The Mexicans
charged that the inadequacy of the
American laws made possible the pro-
pagation of conspiracies on American
soil against Mexico. The consideration
of the operation of neutrality laws
was not confined to those of the Uni
ted States, however. The American rep
rescntatives have contended that Mex
leo should SO govern her frontier as
to make unnecessary the presence OF
an American army in Mexico and at
tention was called to cases in which
the Mexican neutrality laws or their
enforcement was at fault
The American commissioners sub
mitted a list of border raids compiled
by the war department. The Mexican
commissioners presented another list
specifying instances where American
soldiers or civilians had crossed the
boundary into Mexico and where Mex
leans were said to have lost their lives
and property on American soil.
More rapid progress toward an agree
ment on some plan of border control Is
expected to be made now. Announce
ment was made today that reserva-
lions have been made at hotel In
Atlantic City, N j., where the con-
ferences will be continued Monday.
Two more sessions will be held here
but without Luis Cabrera, head of the
Mexican commission, who left for Bos-
