$4,000 PROVIDED FOR =
COTTON MILL At U. 5. PEN
Government VIII Also Be Ask
ed to Buy Adjacent Land
for Cotton
BY RALPH SMITH.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Besides pro-
viding $4,000 for continuing the con-
struction of the prison building proper,
the sundry civil appreciation bill, as
reported to the house, carries an APP
preparation of $445,OOO for the erection
and equipment OF a textile plant in con-
nection with the federal penitentiary at
Atlanta. The items were inserted
through the efforts of Congressman VIII
liam Schley Howard, and probably will
be accepted i'm both houses.
AS has been heretofore explained it is
the purpose of the department of justice
to employ convicts in the textile plant in
the manufacture of cotton goods as may
be required by the government. 1t now
develops that the erection of the textile
plant is the first step in the program of
the department of justice towards an
other radical departure in connection
with the Atlanta penitentiary. When
the textile plant is completed congress
will be asked to provide funds with
which to acquire several hundred acres
of land adjacent to the penttentiary,
and this land will be used for the Gull
tivation of the cotton for the operation
of the looms. 1t is proposed to make 1t
a model cotton farm.

NEW TAX COLLECTOR

DALTON. Ga, Feb. s20.-The decision
of Judge Tarver in the Easley-Robert-1
son election contest, gives Catoosa coun->
ty a new tax collector. for he declared
c. 1. Easley duly elected.
The contest came prior TO the eXpira-
ton of Judge Fites term in office. On
the face of the returns Easley was.
elected but Judge Fite held that cer-E
tain supplemental list of voters as pre-
pared by the registrars was illegel, and
in throwing out. these votes, seated Rob
ertson as collector.
Then Judge Tarver held that Judge
Fite's action was a nullity. ruling that
he had failed to decide matters he should
have decided, and ruled on something
over which he had no jurisdiction, or
dering another hearing of the contest
before him.
In his ruling, he stated that he found
seventeen illegal votes cast for Easley,
and three for Robertson, the official re-
suit being, as he declared 1T, 500 legal
votes for EasleV, and 424 legal votes
for Robertson.
The case is not yet ended, for Rob-

NEW YORK WOMEN
/. DEMAND 100000
FOR FOOD FOR POOR
Police on Alert to Prevent
Fresh Outbreak of Rioting,
Mayor Mitchell Promises to
Aid Committee
CBy Associated Press

NEW YORK, Feb. 21.-The women of
the New York tenements have taken the
food situation in their own hands ami
planned a series of public demonstra-
lions to CONVINCE the mayor and city
officials that something must be done
to reduce prices. One of the widest
protest meetings the city has ever known
broke up early today after making ar
engagements for a great parade of wom-
en- and children to march all day through
Wall street and at night through Fifth
avenue.
An appeal was sent to President Will
son and a committee was appointed TO.
demand that the city appropriate ST.
900, 900 to be used immediately for buy
ing and distributing food among the
poor at cost. Impassioned speakers
called upon the poor of the east side
to organize and pledged the financial
support OF the Hebrew Trades union.
The capitalists were blamed for the high
cost Of food or the ground that they
were amassing wealth by sending it 10
Europe.
After Mayor Mitchell had been inform
ed by East Side housewives that their
children were starving to death by hun
dreds" because of the nigh cost OF food,
he promised to place before the board OF
estimates on FRIDAY their plea that
81, 600, 900 be appropriated by this city to
buy food for distribution at reason
able prices.
THREE COMMITTEES HEARD.
Three different committees represent
ing East Side women were admitted to
the mayors office after an attempted
demonstration by housewives at the door
CT the city hall was prevented by the
police. The mayor said he did not be-
Iieve the city government had authority
to appropriate 81, O0O, O0G for the purpose
the women requested, but pending the
board of estimates decision he would
direct the health and charities depart

the East Side to investigate, conditions.
The women vigorously urged immediate
relief measures.
Money is lying idle in the city treas
ury while poor people are starving"
Marie CAM, member of the Industrial
Workers of the World, told the mayor.
Take it, Mr.. Mayor, and use it to buy
food for the people"
The mayor asserted that state and ma
tional governments were the only au-
thorities able properly to deal with the
food situation and urged the committees
TO use their influence for enactment of
laws which would enable the city to
establish public markets. so that food
spectators would be eliminated, and the
city given power legally to control food
prices.
When the women first went, to the
city hall they were led by Miss CAM
who was arrested yesterday for address,
ing the first demonstration al the city
hall. She was released when she said
she urged the women against violence
Mass meetings and demonstrations
continued today. The police were on the
alert to prevent a fresh outbreak of
rioting such as put many push cart
vendors out of business on Monday
and Tuesday.
