THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWSiSBTURDAY. JUNE 1, 1912.
HAWKINS GIRL 15
ALIVE-SHELLNUT
HENDERSONVILLE. N. C. June 1.
W. 0. Shellnutt. an Atlanta travel
ing man. was on the witness stand
in the Hawkins ease two hours.
He declared Myrtle Hawkins still is
alive.
Shellnut was a star witness of the
defense in the trial of several alleged
principals and accessories in the death
of Myrtle Hawkins, who mysteriously
disappeared early in September, 1911.
and whose body was supposed to have
been found in Lake Osceola, near here.
Shellnut pre-viously had declared
more than once that the girl still is
ajive. and th it he could produce, her.
for >S3.O(U).
Shellnut said he had made four trips
to Hendersonville in 1910 and 1911,
where he had met My rtle Hawkins. He
said he saw her each time, and talked
with her once.
The last time he saw the girl. Shell
nut declared, was about September 20.
1911, in Jacksonville, Fla. He de
clared he said to her, "1 thought you
were dead, drowned and buried." He
said she replied, “Oh. shut up I'll see
you later."
Shellnut said he did not see her
again, but had read of her disappear
ance He said lie had been to Jack
sonville twice since then, and the last
time had tried to find her, hut'had not
suecceded.
He declared on cross-examination it
wmld take a large amount of money to
bring licr back, but lie thought lie could
produce her

STATE TO PROBE
CITY POWER RATE
Railroad Commission’s Investi
gation Will Be Made Despite
’(l I t* t - > • ~f ‘ i
; - Cqunsi|’s Peace Pact.
<
Atlanta is to ; witness! a formal in
vestigation of the power rates charged
bjl' the Georgia Railway and Elfeetric
Company, despite the fact that the city
council effected a compromise with that
eorppration.
Shortly before the city’s petition ask
ing the state railroad commission to
make - an Investigation of light and
power rates w as withdrawn. M. L. Hain
and W. L. Fain 'hunie- an Independent
request for a reduction of power rates.
Now, both of the Fains are sticking
to their guns and have Insisted that
the railroad commission proceed with
an investigation of power rates as
asked tn their petition. The commis
sion has set the hearing for June 19.
AVhen the city council finally agreed
to the reduction schedules submitted*
by the electric company it was under
stood the lower rates would not become
effective until a distribution system,
now under contraction, was completed,
or until January 1, 1913.
Thu electric company was w illing, so
it Is understood, to make this same
agreement witli the Kains, but both in
sisted that the reduction was just, in
asmuch as the company had agreed to
make it. and it should be made at once.
It is probable the commission’s in
vestigation will be made wholly upon
the power rates charged the Fains.
However, if the commission makes use
of data colrected by appraisal experts
furnished by the city before the com
promise was effected the entire raise
schedules of the company w ill be taken
up.
in addition to the Fain petition. R. S.
Bosclie has an appeal, backed by the
city council, before the state body for
an investigation of the charges of the
Atlanta Gas Light Company. The date
of hearing of 11} is lias not been set.

REP.CONIMITTEE
TO CLEAR RING
FOR BATTLE
Warring G. 0. P. Chiefs De
clare All They Ask Is a
Square Deal.
CHICAGO. June 1.-“-Scarcely within
the merpory of Republican politicians
has /he pre-convention meeting of the
Republican national committee been:
charged with the vita) significance that,
will fhce that body when it convenes!
here June 6 to select the temporary
role of the Republican national conven
tion.
Heretofore, the selection of the Re
publican nominee for the presidency
has practically been cut and dried, the
usual protests from the Southern states
amounting to- little more than empty
form. But this year the old order of
things is changed, and today, five days
before the committee hearing, finds that
body an important arbiter in the fight
for' the nomination between Colonel
Roosevelt and President Taft
The vital importance of trie commit
tee's decision has led to a heated dis
cussion as to its probable action with
regard to the two hundred or more con
tested delegates, whose cases will be
brought before it next Thursday.
Each Manager Sees Victory.
Manager McKinley, for President
Taft today positively asserted that the
majority of Mr. Roosevelt’s contesting
delegates will be thrown out by the
committee, and his predictidns seem to
be borne out by the make-up of that
body, which, through its machine-ap
pointed committeemen, is believed by
Taft supporters to stand at 53-58 in
favor of the president.
Manager Dixon, who is in charge of
Colonel Roosevelt’s fight, is equally
firm in predicting that the contested
delegates from the South will be seated
by the committee.
Secretary of State Knox, the Taft
choice for temporary chairman, will be
appointed, it is believed. It also is
thought Taft men will control a suffi
cient number of delegates, leaving the
final decision of their right to sit in
th* convention up to the credential
committee of that body, or. in the last
analysis, to the majority vote of the
delegates on the floor of the conven
tion.
Both the Roosevelt and Taft fac
tions before the committee will be rep
resented by some of the foremost legal
talent in the land.
Manager McKinley, of the Taft cam
paign. said today:
Says. ‘tTaft ®n First Ballot.”
• "*Bhe only jte pxpeetjand the
onlj.' ! We have a right to dfrnand
fropi.the national committee is a square
deal. The Roosevelt faction has con
tested a large number ftf our ‘ dele
gates. particularly from the South. Rut
I can confidently say the (majority of
these contests will be overruled, and I
am certain that all rightly elected and
appointed Taft delegates will be seated
w hen the convention opens.
"The statement has been made that
we are depending oh winning the ma
jority of the contests to nominate Mr.
Taft. We are -not. We ; have enough
delegates, without the contested ones,
to nominate Mr. Taft on the first bal
lot."
Manager Dixon, for Roosevelt, said:
"What we want from the national
committee is a square deal. But we
are not worrying about the action of
the committee. Without the contested
delegates, we have enough to nominate
Colonel Roosevelt. Those the com
mittee awards us merely will clinch
matters."
Ohio “Big Six”
Fight Up Monday
CODUMBUS. OHIO. June I—One of
the hottest fights in the history’ of
Ohio politics is anticipated when the
Republican state convention convenes
here on June 3 to select the six dele
gates-at-large to the national Republi
can convention in Chicago. There will
be 754 state convention delegates, and
both the Taft and Roosevelt forces are
today claiming a majority.
As far as can be learned, the delegates
are about evenly divided between the
two camps, the Republican organiza
tion apparently having a slight advan
tage. Walter F. Brown, manager of
the Roosevelt forces,, stated, however,
that there were enough defections from
the Taft ranks to give the Roosevelt
men control
The vanquished faction, it was quite
generally admitted today, will oppose
the selection of a state ticket at this
time, on the ground that there was a
"pre-primary” agreement between the
Roosevelt and the Taft organizations to
the effect that, the Republican state
convention on June 3 and 4 was to
eliminate the consideration of state pol
itics. It was part of the agreement
that a state convention be held after
th? national convention in Chicago, so
that the Ohio state ticket would be in
complete harmony with the national
ticket.
In the event of a breach of this tenta
tive agreement, the Roosevelt men will
line up behind F. Anderson, of Youngs
town. the Mahoning county constitu
tional convention delegate, for the
governorship, while the Taft forces will
back Lawrence K. Langdon. Lebanon.

ceived little, attention as yet. Senator
Root will doubtless be the temporary
chairman, but the selection of a per
manent chairman probably will not be
taken up until after the close of the
convention, as was done in 1908.”
Harding May Present
President’s Name.
While Secretary Hilles would not
positively assert who would nominate
President Taft at the Chicago conven
tion, he admitted that both Senator
Burton and Warren G. Harding, of
Ohio, were' being considered for this
honor. The fact that Harding, who
was defeated by Harmon during the
last gubernatorial campaign, had a
long conference With the.president yes
terday, supposedly concerning the Ohio
situation, Jias apparently thrown the'
balance in his favor, the more so since
Senator Burton failed signally to carry
out his promises that the president
would at least "make a good showing in
his home state."
Secretary Hilles will leave here for
Chicago in time to be present at the
"contest hearings" before the Republi
can committee June 6. He will then
remain in Chicago until the conven
tion closes.
“Rough Riders” to
Aid T. R. in Chicago
CHICAGO, June I.—" Roosevelt
Rough Riders," organized by members
of the Hamilton club, will play a spec
tacular part in the Roosevelt boom at
the coming national convention, and.
if the colonel is nominated, in the cam
paign that follows.
The "Rough Riders”—a full regiment
—will be outfitted in khaki uniforms
and mounted. They will meet visiting
marching clubs and escort them to

take part in a Roosevelt demonstration.
The organization was formed after a

which showed that 80 per cent of its
members favored the colonel's nomina

LAWYERS DEBATE
WOMAN OOESTION
State Bar Association Hears for
and Against Admitting Fem
inine Attorneys to Practice.
SAVANNAH. GA.. June I.—Admis
sion of women to practice law received
serious consideration from the Geor
gia Bar association, in annual conven
tion at Tybee. Papers on the subject
were read by Judge Henry C. Ham
mond, of Augusta: Roland Ellis, of Ma
con. and E. R. Black, of Atlanta. Law
yers w ho heretofore have been inclined
to treat this subject lightly appear to
recognize that the time is coming when
they can no longer dodge the issue.
Hamilton Douglas, dean of the Atlanta
Law school, announced to the conven
tion that his school would not matricu
late any more women a-s long as they
are denied the right to practice in
Georgia.
Judge Andrew J. Cobb, of Athens,
chairman of the permanent commission
on the judicial system and remedial
procedure, reported the changes in the
judicial system of the state, to be rec
ommended at the summer sesison of
the legislature. These recommenda
tions had been previously announced by
the commission in Atlanta.
Robert C. Alston, an Atlanta lawyer,
read a paper on “A State Within the
State of Georgia." the purpose of which ?
•was so show that ait one time a sepa
rate and independent government was
set up within the state, against the
authority <>f the existing government.
