AMERICAN IS ONE
OF PRINCIPAL FOLKS

SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. 6.-Walter
B. Griffin, the Chicago architect who is
Director of Construction and Design
for the new Australian capital at Can.
berra, is one of the principal witnesses
in the inquiry which the government is
making into the charges that the d.
partment of Home Affairs has been
guilty of a waste of public funds ano
ineptitude in the building of the cap
ital.
W. o. Archibald, the former Minister
for Home Affairs, who instigated the
charges directed against King O'Malley,
the present minister, and Mr.. Grifi:,,
testified that when Mr.. Griffin took
charge at Canberra he had claimed
sole control of the capital public works
and that the American threatened a
lawsuit Tin 1919 if he was interfered
with in what he considered his prerog
alive under his contract with the Aus
| tralian government. Mr.. Archibald
testified that he gave the American to
understand that the Minister of Home
Affairs was boss" but that the archi-
tect would have square deal" He
denied that he had ever referred to Mr..
Griffin as a Yankee bounder" but dc +.
clared he had caused friction by rub
hing departmental officers the wrong
way"
When Mr.. Griffin took the stand he
said that he was appointed to carry
out his own design for the capital and
he felt if the plans were mutilated it
would reflect on his reputation.
Mr.. Griffin said: Ten per cent OF
my time has been devoted to the con-
structive effective work contemplated
in the agreement and 80 per cent has
been frittered away in defensive opera
tons" The only reason he could give
why the officers of the department
showed hostility toward him was that
they believed they were competent
themselves to carry out everything
connected with the capital.
Mr.. Griffin said that since his recent
reappointment as Director of Design
and Construction by Mr.. O'Malley his
rights had been recognized and Mr..
O'Malley had issued instructions that
no matters at the capital should be in
itiated without reference to him.

MANY WOMEN WANT TO
PRACTICE LAW IN GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ca, Sept. 6.-Eyidences
are accommodating that there is going
to be an unusual crop of Portals" III
Georgia before long, as a result of the
enactment at the recent legislative
session of a bill admitting women to
the practice of law.
Applications are coming in extra
ordinary number from many sections
o. the state from young women who
want to take the step. The Atlanta
Law school has already received niue
of them and others are expected.
There is not law school in the state
which admits women, but will have
half a dozen to a dozen women st L
dents with the coming fall term.
I'VE have always been glad to admit
women to the Atlanta Law school,
said Dean Hamilton Douglas. I'm fact
we have had several women graduates
already, and they took most promin-
emit part in the effort to secure the re-
cent Legislation. They do not seem to
mind the fact that our classes are held
at night. What they are after is learn
ing the law, and they are coming"

GENERAL BRUsSILOFF IS
ONE OF GREAT GENERALS

PETROGRAD, Sept. General AL
exis Brussiloff, commander of the Rus
sian army which swept through Buko-
wilma, was little known outside of Rus
STA before the present war. In fact, it
was not until 1914 that he was given
command of an army corps. His work
in the war won him promotions. He is
almost the only one of the many prom
inent social figures in the army who
has made good.
General Brussiloff is 60 years old
but looks more like 40. He is alert
and modern. He has dark, steady
searching eyes and nose with a high,
commanding curved bridge, and a
square jaw. His hair is close cropped,
he wears long thin gray moustach.
1t was General Brussiloff who com
manded an army in the first Carpa-
THAN campaign when the Russians
were ready to pour down into Hun
gary but were forced to retreat fo-
lack of ammunition. Unlike many
Russian generals, Brussiloff had the
advantages of an excellent education
and began army life in fashionable
calvary regiment Ability and Unfit
ence combined to make his advance
ment rapid. He held many positions,
was recognized a favorite at court, dis
tinguished himself as a daring rider,
encouraged cavalry officers to go in for
polo and cross-country steeplechase s
and was popular in Petrograd society.
Then came the war to try out the ca
pacity and characters of men, Brussil
off was one of the students, profess
ional type of officer who came to the
front and made good.

state legislature, it is insufficient.
There is too little local appeal. Such
an organization engages only a few
women actively; the great rank and
file of suffragist are not intimately
concerned. To get state legislature
ready to ratify the National amendment
it will be necessary to convert every
possible state legislator, and that
needs an organization in every Assem-
bly, district which is strong enough to
make itself felt. Moreover, if, even af-
ter the amendment has passed Con-
gress, other states should be won for
suffrage, it would give immense i'm
petus to the ratification by other
states"
The National association, having in
PRODUCED the Federal amendment, must
now stand behind it and never cease
working for it, Mrs. Brown declared

Plans of Miss Clay.

In arguing that the Association
should confine its activities to state
legislation, Miss Clay declared that the
Federal amendment was usually ad-
vocated chiefly as emans of saving
time and labor; in word, short
cut to woman suffrage"
Miss Clay gave brief review of the
history of Constitutional amendments
in order to indicate, she said, that
fighting suffrage now through seeking
national legislation was difficult and
precarious." Alludidng to how military
coercion was necessary to make some
OF the tsates ratify the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth Amendments, she continued:

a Delayed Telegram.

Because the delivery of a tele-

in the afternoon until $50 o'clock In
the evening NJ. u. Hohnstadt of 633
Morris avenue, brought suit in the dis
trict court today against the Western

Mr. Hohnstadt alleges in his petition
that his mother was dangerously ill
at CORN, Missouri, November 4, 1915,
and that he had made arrangements
with l.. c. Adams at Gorine to send
him telegram in case the mother s

gram stating that the mother was
dying; the telegram reached the West

that promised to wreck four lives. And
there really was no tangle. Not a legal

there was was due to neighborhood
gossip and lack of legal advice.

She had been married and her hus-

they were married. A child was born

she had a happy family
