ATLANTA LAWYERS
KARSH TO WIVES
Atlanta, Feb. 7.—Atlanta law
yers, who have been having their
Innings In adding their eloquence to
the complaints of abused wives
against cruel husbands, are now
getting a dose of their own medi
cine, and a mighty strong dose at
that.
Two lawyers within the past two
days have been accused by their
own wives of the very cruelties which
they have so often ascribed to others
in preparing formal petitions for di
vorce.
, The Drst lawyer, Rollin Kimball,
was accused of practically throwing
his wife in the street, after she had
spent her early Ufa slaving to get
him a university education. The
seconl lawyer defendant In the di
vorce court is H. J. Boswell, a young
attorney who practice* principally In
the criminal courts. His wife has
filed suit for divorce against him, al
leging that be treated her like a
brute.
Mm. Boswell says that the attor
ney has repeatedly slapped and
abused her, and that on one occas
ion be locked her up In the bed
room and kept her prisoner for 'sev
eral hours, telling her through the
key-hole, "I guess, we will sec who Is
boss here now."
On another occasion, says Mrs.
Boswell, her husband tortured her
by twisting her ear until It was
bally br.Msed. and afterward, still
holding her by the ear, slapped her
face. This, she says, wns In the
presence of visitors, and humiliated
her as wx.ll as causing her severe
bodily pain. One of the worst
charges Mrs. Boswell brings is that
her husband allowed negro clients
to consult him late «t night, in their
bedroom.
I.tisk, former President of the First
National Bank of WUburton, was
Indicted Wednesday for misapplica
tion of the bank's funds. Lusk was
sentenced yesterday to serve five
years in Leavenworth prison.
A warrant for the banker was Is
sued Thursday. Friday he arrived
here, went before the Federal court
ind pleaded guilty. He was Im
mediately sentenced, and four hours
Inter he was wns on a train, carry
ing him to Leavenworth prison.
Lusk's shortage Is said to have
been forty thousand dollars.
GOING UNTIL TREY FIND SNOW
Atlanta, Feb. 7.—With spring and
drought staring them in the face,
the three young members of the
Athletic Club who swore on New-
Year’s Day not to take a lrlnk un
til It snowed, are preparing to start
north this morning.
They have obtained leave of ab
sence from their respective ofllces,
and while New York Is their Im
mediate destination they propose to
keep going—Into the Maine woods
if necessary—Into Canada If neces
sary—Into Greenland If necesary—
until they find snow.
They have figured out that It
probably will not snow In Atlanta
now until next winter. They Intend
ed to mount the water-wagon for
a tranquil little ride of a couple of
weeks In mid-winter. They didn't
bargain to ride on an annual pass.
For weeks paot all three had been
In the depths of despondency. Each
aunahlny day, making glad all the
rest of the universe, only made the
gloom blacker for them. They had
about given up hope and abandoned
themselves to blank despair and
ginger ale whon one of the three,
who Is a lawyer, figured out that no
locality was prescribed In their reso
lution and that If they went .to New
York and It snowed there, they
would be released from their mutual
pledge. Hence (he vacation trip at
thie unusual period.

E TRUST
RAPPED AGAIN
Trenton, N. J., Feb. 8.—Tho Fed
eral Government made Its third
anti-trust move against the United
Shoe Machinery Co., In a civil suit
filed here today, charging the 'so-
called trust with wielding a monopo
listic power and unfair trade tac
tics, to force the Keighley Company,
it* competitor, into an unlawful
contract for letsing, sale and fixing
the price on its ln-seam trimming
machine.
The Federal court is asked to ter
minate the contract under which the
Keighley Company gave the United
Machinery Company the exciuaive
right to lease the machines.
The government's petition ia to
serve as an arraignment of the
truat's unfair practices, which are
said to givo the $25,009,000 United
Machinery Company control of more
than 99 per cent of the trade.

It wasn’t at the political polls, of

In order that the prospective voters
might get In practice anent the timo
ot universal suffrage, they were
given sllpa of paper, on which they
were to express their views on the
subject of going to Washington for
the big parade. Each slip amount
ed to an Individual pledge to go.
When the voting was over. It was
found that about 75 per cent of the
slip* were still blank.
There was a sharp and sarcastic
note In the voice of Mies Mabel
Brewer, after the votes wore count
ed, when she arose to say: ’’ft seems
that we champions of woman's free-
lorn must consult our husbands and
the other men at homo before we
can take any decisive action."
And It turned out that this was
exactly the case. Many of the worn
en were anxious to go to.Washing
ton and take part In the parade, but
few of them were willing to pledge
themselves to It absolutely until they
had talked the matter over with
their "Lords and Masters," as one
disappointed commltteewoman sar
donically expressed It.
