Taylor liad reported earlier in the day an attempt to burn ils property by night riders, the robbery of his store and an at telhiit upon his own life.

Views of Managers Atlanta, Nov. 1.--JWhether Georgia WOlen will vote in tomorrow's gen oral election remained an open ques tion tonight 'with the possibility, ac cording to state ofllicipls, that the Question might be decided different ways i different precincts. and that ,court action .might follow. Georgia law for years has required registration at least six months before election and the 19th amendment was proclaimed less than six months before the election. R. A. Denny, state attor ney general, has ruled that the nation al lawconfers suffrage on women, re gardless of Georgia rules as to regis tration, and at the capitol it was said managers of some -precincts ipossibly might go ahead on this and permit all women to vote 'who presented them selves at the polls, while it was pos sible otfier managers might refuse. In the absence of any oficial action, Governor 'Dorsey was one of those who held this view. Women will not vote in Fulton county, accordin.g to ordi nary Thomas 'H.. Jeffries, who is in charge of election machinery here. The governor's view given offhand w'as that the six months rule applies to all voters, men and women, but lie made it plain that lie was not seeking to influence any person on the sub ject. It is not in the clief execuitive's power to say who shall or shall not vote, lie added Man y leading suffragists, including Mrs. .lary .\lcLendon of Athinta, a pioneer in the cause, have u rged wo mni1 to vote.

When the government ship canal that connects Puget sound with Lake Washington was opened, the waters of the lake were lowered 12 feet. While wire-dragging the lake, says a con tributor, the United States coast and geodetic survey discovered a subma rine forest. The tops of the sub merged trees were so close to the sur face that they were a menace to nav igation. Under-water logging opera tions to clear the lake were there fore started. It is thought that the forest is pre historic, a remnant of one that grow In the Lake Washington area in the days when it was dry land; or that great landslides in remote ages car ried the trees into the lake. The trees were withouat branches and stood vertical, or nearly so; they were semlbetrifled. The longest trunk removed was 121 feet 6 inches. The toll, 10 inches thick, rosm to within 4 feet of the surface of the lake. The butt was 5 feet 6 inches In diameter, and the robts, firmly embedded in thie bottom of the lake, had a 20-foot spread. It was found 1,500 feet from the shore. Off the south end of Mercer island. In Lake Washingt.on, nearly a hundred trees were destroyed. The cleanup gave a count of more than a hundred trunks during the flrst three montlis of 1920, off Manitou isoint.. T(he larg est trunk li that area stood it 121 feet of water, 1,100 feet from shore. The tree was 11 feet long, with a 5-inch top anid a 3-foot butt. Wherever possilhie, tile trees were pulled out Iy tie roots. Fast enilngs were iade to the truiniiks by dragging the hight of a cable throu-Iigl tle vat er at the required dptii. Wlien the hight toucled Ilie 11run11k, one etid of the cable was passed througi an eye at the ather end, :iiil the4 looi formed wIts rim down to the rees.
