are prepared to organize a company to
erect a modern 500-room hotel on that

Tentative plans have been drawn for
a hotel to cover not only the site OF the
Arlington hotel, but to take in three
25-foot lots adjoining on the south, ~
Main street and the property to INA
west facing o n Front street, which
would give a site approximately $50 by
800 feet.
Several years ago a tentative agree
ment was made by which the 1sele
brothers, owners OF the Arlington, were
to put the ground they owned into
a proposed hotel company, taking pay
ment for the site in stock in the com
pany, but the war caused abandonment
Of the plans.
Now that the municipal auditorium
and market buildings are assured, the
Plan has bsen revived. The plans viii
be submitted to the Chamber of Com
MERGE committee, of which DR.. r. II.
George Is chairman and IL they are
given approval, steps will Nbe taken at
once to interest the property owners
in the project and to organize a com
pany and arrange for the sale of stock.

NEGRO GOES OUT
THROUGH BOTTOM

Going literally out the bottom of the
"lil yellow police patrol ear from the
central office Sunday night as 1t sped
along Second street between Madison
and Court avenues around 30 miles an
hour, Robert Jackson, negro, accused
Of the murder Of his wife, Ellen Jack
son, escaped from the police, TO get
away the negro had to pull the floor
Of the motor van. The negro, like n
ferret, squirmed through the aperture
he had made In the floor OF the motor
car, and, worming his way through the
mechanism Of the running gear, dropped
to freedom even though the rear step
OF the car bumped his head like a trip
hammer.
Jackson shot his wife July 7 and fled,
He was located In Birmingham, Ala,
and the slain woman's brother put up
$50 to defray the expenses Of bringing
the alleged murderer back. WORKOUT
from the trip, Detective Dixon, who
went after the negro. arrived at the
Grand Central station shortly after 9
o'clock Sunday night and called for a
police car. Policemen Fttzhugh and
Norman, new men OF the patrol car
squad, answered.
When Jackson was placed In the little
closed car, Dixon said Monday, he ad-
vised against taking the handouts off
the negro, but the wagon men said he
would be safe.
The negro had been In Jail In Biz
mingham for several days and had been
relieved of knife, keys and all such
pocket tools. As the little wagon whizzed
along along Second street, opposite
Court squape, Norman and Ft2hugh,
seated In front, were nearly iolted from
their seats by the shock Of a heavy
bump. Just then a man on the side
wa u cried out:
Hey, there, cops! You've run over IA

women, another obstacle Is the fact that
until the past two weeks the question
of whether or not the women Of Mem
phis and Shelby county would register
at this time was shrouded in doubt.
As many women Who are anxious to
take advantage of the registration, that
they may cast their first ballot for the
municipal election, are even yet not
sure that they may do so, a number of
prominent suffragists are making ad-
dresses and giving lectures in various
parts of the city, thoroughly outlining
the present privileges which are theirs,
and advising them of the responsibility
which is attached to it, that they may
register and vote in an efficient man.

@There will be no great demorTstra-

mack, one of the best known club wom-
en- and suffragists in the state, when
discussing the question Monday morn
ing.
1.-THE women will not rush into this
in a h~aphazard. ill-prepared way, for
they realize that too much depends up
on It, not for the present alone, but
for the future as wen, After the first
few days the registration will gradually
grow heavier, for there is no lack OF
enthusiasm among the ONE concern
inc the privilege"
from the reports OF the registration
on Monday, 1t is difficult to determine
whether the business and professional
women, or the club women and home
makers are more enthusiastic, but the
spirit shown on all sides is a splendid
one.
Tentative plans have peer made for
a permanent women's organization,
which will be a women's citizen league.
1t is to be entirely non-partisan, hav-
ing for its aim the instruction of Wom-
en- voters, who desire to obtain the high
est possible results. The organization
will be formally opened in the near flu
ture and several of the most prominent
women in the city are widely interested
in it.

Memphis women, in a business-like
fashion, are going quietly to the vari-
u registration booths. They are not
leaving the booths without registering
because of the crowds of men, as some
antisuffragists have predicted they
would do.
II is only within the last 50 years
that women have secured property and
educational rights. Now Memphis
women have equal political rights, at
least in city and national elections.
II Is noteworthy that one of the great
est steps ever taken in this or any
other country for women's industrial
rights was taken in Memphis in 1871
when the Southern Conference on Wom-
an and Child Labor formed its perma-
nent organization in this city, its pur-
pose being to secure uniform legisla-
ton on hours and conditions of labor
for women and children.
1t started the ball rolling toward bet
ter industrial conditions for women in
the South. and its full importance has
been realized during the past three
years when women have assumed ever
increasing responsibilities in the bust
ness world.
At noon Monday the registrars at the
various wards reported that the regis
tration of women was going slowly,
but, that all who registered did so with
enthusiasm and in a manner which
showed that they were~well aware of
the Importance attached to the privi-
lege of which they were allowed to make
use for the first time,
IT is probable that the full reports
for the women's registration for Mon
day will be much smaller than was
first expected. This, however, is GER
talnly not due alone to indifference to
the privilege, but to the fact that there
are so many absent from the city at
present. While many of the suffrage
leaders had hoped to see Monday the
record breaking day for the, 10 days
registration, at the same time they
hardly expected that it would be pos
sible, for in addition TO the fact that

In 1S4S, at Seneca Falls, N. Y, a band of women invited ridicule

men. That was the first womans rights convention held anywhere,
although Mary Woostonecraft made the first appeal for womens rights
In her "Vindication Of the Rights of Women" in 1892.

THE GOVERNMENT SEES
VALUE OF ADVERTISING
Using Newspaper Advertising to In.
crease Railroad Travel and
Stimulate Recruiting.

Asheville, n. c., July 10.-That for
purposes of economy as we'll as of
efficiency the United States govern
ment is likely to become an extensive
advertiser was brought out here this
week in reports made to the conven-
tion Of advertising agencies and
newspaper publishers.
Up to few months ago there was
little disposition on the part of Wash
ington officials to avail themselves Of
the power of advertising In the trans
action Of Uncle Sans business and
the somewhat different attitude on
their part at present is attributed to
lessons learned during the war.
For it is admitted on every hand by
those familiar with the giant task of
financing the operations of this coun-
try in the recent great conflict-and
in arousing the American people to
the necessity of sacrifice on their part
to win IL speedily-that advertising e
contributed in a notable way to the
achievements of which the whole ma
tion is so proud.
Following the conclusion of the
war, 1t was but natural that the same
force should be looked to for aid in
solving peace-time problems and so II
has come about that in stimulating
passenger traffic the United States
railroad administration has literally
employed advertising and the war de-
partment has been using liberal space
in the newspapers to encourage en-
listments.
According to the information given
! out here. both these campaigns have
been highly successful. Railroad
travel this summer will be heavier
than for years and the recruiting
work for the army was the most sue
cessful in proportion to cost of any
for long time. Advertising has per-
formed for these governmental agen-
cies the same character OF service II
is all the time rendering in private
business.
Now that official Washington has
found out that by advertising hun.
dreds of persons can be reached at nc
greater cost than would be required
to have scores seen by personal inter
views, the general demand for econ.
omy in the administration of the af.
fairs OF the government will cause
the utilization OF advertising more
and more, is the belief freely ex
pressed by members of the southern
council of the American Association
OF Advertising Agencies, and of the
Southern Newspaper Publishers as
sociation.
