SUFFRAG|STS ARE
 NOT D0WNHEARTED
Funeral of Organization Not Yet Held, Says Mrs.
 Jacobs

Mrs Solon Jacobs. who has recently returned from Montgomery, where she has been in the interest of the ratifica- ton of the equal suffrage amendment. is most optimistic and expressed conti- dence that the legislature will yet rat fly the amendment before adjournment is taken. Since the legislature has been
 in session strong committee of lob
 byists have been on the job in Mont
 gomery and they are of the opinion that
 the suffragists have majority in the
 house.
 Funeral services of the Alabama Equal
 Suffrage associatio have not yet been
 held" said Mrs Solon Jacobs, and the
 last obseques will not be said until the legislature has adjourned' Our lobbyists are still on the job and will be as long as the legislature is in session. Int
 house has not yet acted on the sui frage amendment, and we feel that ttlis
 action will be favorable. We have many | friends in the house and there are number of good democrats who do not
 wish to go on record as opposing the
 democratic administration and President l Wilson, so we feel sure that they will support this bill.
 During the past three months l6 states i have ratified the federal suffrage amend ment, and this is nearly one-half of the number required for the adoption of this amendment. If such strides can be made | in this short time, the remaining 20 states necessary will in all probability ratify within the next year.
 | Not state has rejected the ratif1ca- | tion of the amendment as Georgia only postponed the action until the next leg i islature, year from now, and Vir- ginia, at special session called for the purpose of discussing a good poads bill, l postponed this issue until the regular ses- sion in January, when we are confident 1 that the amendment will be ratified. | "The women of Alabama will be voting within years time, for by that tirne l they will be given the ballot by the men | of other states even if the Alabama men i reject the amendment.
 l "We are working with determination. and do not expect to give tip the fight until the amendment is ratified and the women of Alabama are given the bal-
 lot along with other women Of tho 1 United States.

 tion in Habeas Corpus Proceedings

The scene of proceedings in the legal fight of Maj William c. Obear for the custody of his three children yester- day was ordered shifted from Judge Dan A. Greene's court in the law diyi- sion to the chancery court of Judge Hugh A. Locke.

A.
 Fealy, of the Altrurian society, in which
 he asked possession of the children and
 that Bishop Feafy be restrained from |entering his wifes home and exerting a hypnotic influence over her which
 influence rendered her incapable of do-
 ing anything in a sensible way. At about the same time the bill was filed, Mrs. Obear instituted divorce proceed
 ings.
 Judge Greene upheld the plea and ruled that the habeas corpus proceed
 ings instituted by Obear be transferred to the chancery court, where the divorce
 proceedings will be taken. He ruled that inasmuch as the divorce issue
 was involved in the chancery case. ac-
 tion in reference to the children prop |erly belonged in that court. It has been pointed out that with the decision in the divorce case will come ia decision as to the possession of the children.
 After Judge Greene made his ruling, it was announced by Frank Andress, counsel for Obear that he will renew the petition for writ of habeas cor pus before Judge Locke as soon as the order from Judge Greene is made Judge Greenes court room was crowded before the time for the opening of the trial. Both Major and Mrs Obear were accompanied by friends, but the two completely disregarded each other. |Obear greeted all of his children. Will liam Gray Obear.
