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.

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.

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.

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 their hotels convention week and will take part in a Roosevelt demonstration.

Fourth National Bank 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.
