!. B. F. Lowry Answers Let
ter Regarding Municipal
Elections.
REGISTRATION OF 1850
Total Vote of Women Esti-
mated at 2,409-Contest
to Be Entered Soon.

Secretary j. B. +. Lowry, of the
Hamilton county election commits
sion has answered the letter written
him by the. firm of Brown, Spur ock
& Brown, giving them data re-
nuested regarding the municipal pri-
mary Of June 10, and the regular
election of July ..
The law firm has been employed to
test the legality Of the two elections
and wrote Mr.. Lowry asking for
some facts and figures regarding the
elections. Mr.. Lowry stated in the
letter that the total registration for
the election was 1880 male voters
and 5000 women voters. The esti-
mated vote of the women on the date
of the primary is given as 2,409. all
though there is no possible way to
get the exact number of women who
participated in this election.
The vote of each candidate in this
race is also given in Mr.. Lowry's let
ter, and the names of those to whom
certificates of election were delivered
following the election. Mr.. Lowry
also stated in answer to the question
whether the women were enjoined
from voting in the general election
or not. that they were, and that he
had the opinion Of Atty.-Gen. Frank
M. Thompson to that effect.
This data is being prepared by
Brown, Spurlock & Brown prepar-
atory to taking steps to have the
primary of June TO- in which women
participated, declared Illegal. How
ever the firm, before taking any
steps, will await the action of the
supreme court in the woman's suf-
frage case, that case now pending be-
fore it or an appeal from the
decision of Chancellor Newman at
Nashville.
City Attorney Frank S. Garden has
held that in the event the high court
holds that the woman's suffrage law
is unconstitutional, that it will have
no bearing on the election of June 10.
Atty.-Gen Frank M. Thompson, who
is in the city for the day. stated that
while he had not studied the question
thoroughly he was inclined to believe
that Mr.. Garden was right in mis-
opinion.
Gen. Thompson stated that the
supreme court would hand down its
opinion in the suffrage case on next
Saturday.

WHISKY TRANSACTION
TO BE INVESTIGATED
GRAND JURY TO PROBE
MYSTERIOUS DEAL.
Attorney Generals Office Re-
fuses to Accept Sheriff's
Version of Case.

The Hamilton county grand jury
will at its next session investigate
thoroughly the finding. by the sher-
IFS office. of an automobile full OF
whisky in the garage of Wallace
Cryer, on lower Broad street.
Cryer was not arrested in connec-
ton with the transaction. Sheriff
Robert p. Bass, however. stated in
open court that Cryer had nothing to
do with the whisky other than turn
ing up the guilty parties. He stated
that Cryer was of great assistance to
the office and had furnished him with
information which had led to more
than one arrest. However, the attor-
further, 1t was stated Monday.
The case grew out of the arrest OF
c. w. Lyle some weeks ago on the
charge of transporting whisky. Lyle
stated that he brought the liquor to
Cryer's place for a man named Gass,
who operates a still on Sand noun
tain. He said for bringing in the
liquor he (Lyle) was given a quart.
Lyle claims he brought the liqucr
into Cryer's place and charges that
Cryer was to buy 1t from Gass and
offered Gass a check for the liquor.
Gass. he states, refused this and told
Cryer if he wanted the liquor he
would have to give him real money
for it, as no checks went Later, Lyle
says, he received his quart for haul
ing the liquor and he went away and
got drunk. He was arrested and
placed in Jail.
Lyle says he explained the trans
action, but Cryer was not arrested
nor was Gass, the latter having left
the city and returned to his home
When Assistant Atty.-Gen. Nc
Gaughy presented these facts to
Judge McReynolds Monday he asked
that bench warrant be issued for
Cryer, as he charges he was the
guilty man and not Lyle. Mr.. Nc
Gauhy stated he had had various re-
ports about Cryer's place. At this
point Sheriff Bass told the court that
Cryer had nothing to do with the
whisky except to tip the sheriff's Of
fee off to the fact that 1t was in his
place of business. He said that Cryer
had at various times tipped him off
to bootleggers and had been of great
assistance to him.
Mr. McGaughy insisted the matter

NEGROES MAKE
CITY PROPOSAL
Would Erect Howard High
School Building on Gar
denhlre Tract.
WYATT HIGH ELSEWHERE
Frazier Has Suggestion I'm
der Amusement, but Has
Not Reached Decision.

A proposal to erect the new How
ard High school on the Gardenhire
site and to secure another location
for the new Wyatt school has been
submitted to Commissioner Fred
Frazier, OF the city department Of
education, by w. G. Hixon, colored,
and others of the Community Better
ment league, which Is composed Of
many of the leading colored citizens
of the city.
The league. in its letter to Com
missioner Frazier states that 1t be-
lieved that fully rs per cent. of the
white population of the city was dis
pleased with the Gardenhire tract as
high school site for the new Wyatt
High school and, since it Is nearer
that portion Of the city inhabitated
by a majority of colored people, for
that reason it would. in it's judgment,
be better location for colored high
school.
w. c. Hixon stated Monday that he
felt sure enough colored citizens
could be secured who would agree to
purchase for homes the balance of
the Gardenhire site, or whatever por-
ton the city has not purchased of
1t and which will not, perhaps, be
needed for the Howard High school
IL placed there.
Asked regarding the proposition
Monday morning, Commissioner Fra
zier stated he had received the prop
osition from the community league,
but declined to make any statement
on the subject for publication.
Frazier Favorable.
w. G. Hixson stated Monday that
Commissioner Frazier stated to him
when the proposal was submitted
that he would take the matter up
with the other members of the city
commission and would make them
some reply soon. Hixson. stated that
Commissioner Frazier told him he
very much favored the plan, but did
not know how other members of the
be ard felt about the matter.
1t is known that at least two other
members of the board would be will
iLg to consider other locations for the
new Wyatt High school. When asked
about the matter Monday, none
would make any statement, but left
the impression they would be willing
to select some other place more suit
able as location for all the people.
Location of the new Howard High
school has never been settled. Com
Huffaker allowed this Sc
lection to go over for the admins
tration Of Commissioner Frazier, who
stated Monday that a site would be
soon.

Wounded Often.

After several days association with Sergeant McMahon, Secretary Joseph T. Tanning of the Euks war relief commission learned, little by little, of some other ailments acquired by him during the war, in addition to oss of eyesight.
 Sergeant McMahon was in both bat ties of the Marne. At the second bat tie of the Marne he was wounded Tn the head by shrapnel and carries a silver plate to close the cavity that is an inch across.
 Shortly after returning to the front his left knee was permanently dis abled by shrapnel Four ribs were broken at some time while he was at the front, but he says he is trying to forget about that, as no bad effects resulted.
 On August 12 last he was blinded by gas in the St. Quentin drive, and on August T he was on board the hospital ship Victoria which was torpedeoed by a Germn submarine while crossing the English channel.
 Sergeant McMahon says that after helping to carry in 1000 disabled men from the various battlefields on which he served he quit keeping count of the number.
