«We Northerners Bar Dixie
Men From White House,”
Says General Sickles,
YORK. July 11.—Sixty repre
sentatives of the provisional New York
committee of the "Bull Moose"
party met here today and wildly
cheered Colonel Roosevelt as they
fnade plans for the campaign In New
York. General Daniel E. Sickles, the
chief speaker, attacked Governor Wil-
William H. Hotchkiss, chairman of
the provisional committee, presided.
The gathering started out with cheers
for the colonel. Then General Sickles
was introduced. He said:
“The old parties are not satisfactory
tn many respects. It 1s the first time
dnce the war that a Southern man has
been nominated for president. Mr.
Wilson Is a nice man, he Is an honest
man. and an affable 'man. However.
Mr. Wilson was bom and reared in
rebellion surroundings He was born
and reared on the wrong side.
“We Northerners are never disposed
tn put a man who has been reared in
the Confederacy, so to speak, whose
people fought on the Confederate side,
In the white house.
“We wish no repetition of the seces
sion movement. This nation is one
and inseparable now and forever. That
is the determination of the Progressive
party."
Cheers Approve Attack on Wilson.
There came wild yells of approval as
the general, who lost one of his legs in
the Civil war. scored Governor WIJ-son.
He added that he had voted for T/in
eoln because he did not believe In the
copperhead Democracy of the time, al
though he had previously been a Dem
ocrat and had voted for Buchanan. For
40 years, he went on, he had been a
Republican.
"I am now happy to be a supporter
of my esteemed friend. Theodore
Roosevelt,” he said, and the commit
teemen cheered for five minutes. A
man got a red bandanna and waved it
and the cheering was renewed with
still greater violence. The general paid
? high tribute to the colonel after the
noise subsided and Chairman Hotchkiss
addressed the committeemen as "breth
ren of the Bull Moose."
The chairman called the roll of coun
ties to see who was on hand. Some 60
New Yorkers and one enthusiast from
Hoboken answered the call. Among
them wer» Regis N. Post, former gov

Mrs. Hattie Barnett, Atlanta's woman detective, who says
a girl sleuth must forswear affairs of the heart and learn to
keep secrets. In this picture Mrs. Barnett is shown searching a
hat for a clew to a criminal. She once traced a fugitive by the
number on his hal band.
Oh. Yes. and Female Sherlocks
Must Be Able to Hold on
to a Secret.
Is it any wonder the woman detec
tive is such a rarity?
Mrs. Hattie Barnett. Atlanta's expert
woman detective, and the only one in
the South, declared in a most interest
ing talk today that before a woman
can be a real sleuth she must side
track love and all of its attendant
beauties and joys, relegate sweethearts
to the dismal, blank realm of the for
gotten. and be able to keep a secret.
Mrs. Barnett declares she has proved
she can do both. She's had 23 years’
experience as a detective.
And Mis. Barnett adds that these
two highly unromantic and unappeal
ing essentials practically mean the
elimination of woman from this some
what spectacular means of livelihood.
“There's not one woman in a million
who can become a detective," she said.
Must Learn to Keep Secrets.
The barring of love and the keeping
of secrets are not the only require
ments for a woman detective, said Mrs.
they form the combined
uppercut that brings the knock-out.
For instance, the detective instinct
must be born in women. .Mrs. Barnett
says.
"I don't think there's any doubt but
that many women have the natural
born detective instinct, judging from
their success in catching up with their
husbands and finding out what is go
ing on in the community all about
them." said the detective.
Asked how she managed to ovetcomc
the love obstacle. Mrs. Harnett smiled
and said:
“Well, it's a very simple story. In
the first place. I don't want yon to get
the Idea that I have a stone heart and
that I'm incapable of love Not at all.
I have a big. warm heart, and there is
in It ample room for affection. I simply
have a sign over this affection com
partment which reads. "CLOSED. " I
have loved—l won't sax how many
times -but I know that love and de
tective business will not mix.
"I fell in love —violently so—after I
had bcm left a widow and had be
come a detective, but I soon found that
it was interfering with my business. I
was not long in making a choice. I
simply starved out my love.”
She says that a woman who is sen
timental and in love Is too easily In
fluenced to work among criminals and :
attempt to ferret crime, if a woman
has a sweetheart, Mis. Barnett says,
she will confide in him. give away her
plans, and spoil her game Her mind
wotlld he so full of mush, 100. that she 1
would be totally unable to think and
calculate clearly and shrewdly.
Must Have Lots of Nerve.
"Outside of all these requirem o nts.”
continued Mrs. Barnett, "a woman de
tective must have unusual ability, a
plentiful supply of good, common sense, i
ear loads of nerve and tael, must h<>
possessed of discernment, must possess
a. big store of legal knowledge must he

of the question for a lazy woman to be
a detective. She must be up and about
all the whole.”
Another important factor in the mak
ing of the woman detective, as urged
by Mrs. Barnett, is the confining of
her work solely to one of the two sexes.
She must either work exclusively for
men or for women alone.
Mrs. Barnett's specialty is men. In
reply to a question as to her reasons
for working solely for men, Mrs. Bar
nett smiled significantly.
"I have two mighty good reasons,"
she said. "For one thing, women are
jH>of pay. In the next place, sleuthing
for women is very unsatisfactory Nine
times out of ten when you work up a
case for a woman and show her the
evidence, it'll be wholly different from
what she expected, and she'll proceed to
make things hot generally. She'll ho
mean you. declare you are the cause
of the whole trouble, order you away
and refuse to pay you. I've been there.’’
Doesn't Work Divorce Cases.
Mrs. Barnett is also "hands off" when
it comes to working divorce cases.
"It’s unpleasant work, and then I
don’t believe In meddling in family
troubles," she says. "I leave that sot
someone else."
As to her work, Mrs. Barnett said
it had taken her from high society to
the slums. On many occasions, she
said, she had been forced to adopt dis
guises. frequently appearing as an old
woman, sometimes as a nurse and
house maid, again as a book agent, and
in a variety of other roles,
Mrs. Barnett has worked in New York
and several of the other big cities, and
has brought numerous criminals to jus
tice. Several years ago she ferreted
a murder through the simple clew of a
hat number. In his haste, the murder
er dropped his hat. There was no
name, nor initials nor other mark of
Identification in the hat. but front the
numbet on the band Mrs Barnett took
her cue and solved the mystery.
Summing up the results of her ex
perience. Mrs. Barnett said:
"Tlte men are leading the women In
uprightness. Women are far more sin
ful and are doing more injury to so
ciety.”
PROBATION BILL
RECOMMENDED
McElreath Measure Provides
Minor Offenders Must Work
for Benefit of Families.
Representative McElreath's bill pro
viding for a probation system today
was recommended fb: passage by the
bouse judiciary committee and will
come up for a vote in a short time. M:.
i McElreath and his associates believe
It will do a great deal toward giving
.drunkards and small offenders a chance
to straighten up. and at the same tint
w ill p: ovide for their families.
The bill permits judges In the state
courts to fix sentences so that the con
victed man may serve his term out
-side the prison or chain gang, remain
ing at his home and working at what
ever occupation he may find. Hi
wages will be devoted to the support
of his family, while under the present
system the wife and children of a con
victed man are frequently more harsh
ly punished by the court than the of
fender himself.
The bill amounts jyractically to a
probation system, though the term is
not used. The judge in each county
may appoint a probation officer to
whom the man under suspended sen
tence must report at stated intervals.
BOY BURGLARS TELL
POLICE THEY NEEDED
“A LITTLE EASY COIN”
"We just needed a little coin and
thought this would be easy money." is
the explanation given today by Press
McKinney, eighteen years old. 715 East
Fair street, and Seth Pharr, sixteen,
27 Harold avenue, as to wh? they
turned burglars. The boys confessed
that at an early hour this morning
they attempted to break into the Park
Pharmacy, 294 South Boulevard, and
later broke open a slot machine in
front of the store of J. J. Evans In
South Boulevard.
"We would have got in the drug
store if we hadn’t been frightened
away Just as we broke the lock," said
the boys to Captain Poole. "We made
a bum job of It, though, and now we’re
in bazi.”
The boys were caught by Policemen
George Garner and Jeffares a few min
utes after they had broken open the
slot machine. They had prepared them
selves as regulation burglars, skeleton
keys and burglars' tools being foutrd
in their pockets. They will be tried

GLOOM DOLL IS NEW FAD
W A L
/
A Thing of Gloom, and a Jov Forever.
Famous Cartoonist. When 19ld
of Invention, Says They
Take Fun Seriously.
NEW YORK, July 11. —"So they are
getting out a Jolly old English ‘Gloom
Doll.' eh. what?” said Tom Powers,
the famous cartoonist, when he was
told that a woman passenger on a
French liner had brought in a manni
kin pet with the conical cap and lugu
brious black whiskers of iris creation.
”‘Awful amusin' little thing.' I sup
pose they're saying to each other. 'A
bally good spoof, eh, old top?’
“I know the English take their fun
sadly. Probably they'd stare at a Joy
Doll and wonder what the bloomin’
mischief it meant. Now. if T were go
ing to get out a doll, it would be a
Joy."
“How do you think the Gloom Doll
Will go in America?” the artist was
asked. “It is said to be making a hit
all over England and France and tak
ing the place of the Teddy Bear and
the Poodle Dog."
‘‘l think it might have a hard time
here,” Powers said. "Imagine a man
coming home with a joy package under
his belt, and a Gloom Doll in his pocket
for Ms wife. She’d probably hurl both
him and the doll out.
“Or imagine the real original Glooms
out In the suburb where I live, being
asked to buy them! They’d look too
lifelike. We have grand Glooms up
there. 1 owed one of them 75 cents for
some repairs the other day. He sent
me a bill which read ‘77 cents—re
pairs. 75; use of postage stamp. 2.’
The Suburban Glooms certainly take
care of the city Joys who go up there
to Mve in the summer.”
The interview, which was obtained
by a Georgian correspondent who
traveled all of 60 feet to see Mr. Pow
ers in his sanctum, brought out the
fact that the Joy is his favorite char
acter. The Gloom’s whiskers remind
him too much of his own, he said—and
he's a Joy himself, anyway.
The Gloom Doll brought in by the
woman voyager the other day was
dressed In a khaki suit and carried a
stick. It was very British. Powers
didn't see It, but he drew it from de
scription.
SNEEZES SO HARD HE

•MAYSVILLE, KY., July 11—S. E.
Pollitt, of Minerva, Ky., hears clearly

CARELESS ABOUT APPENDICITIS
IN ATLANTA
■Man.' Atlanta people have stomach
or bowel trouble which is likely to turn
into appendicitis. If you have consti

stomach, try simple buckthorn bark,
glycerine, etc., as compounded in Adler

edy. The Jacobg’ Pharmacy Company
states that A SINGLE DOSE of this
simple remedy relieves bowel or stom
ach trouble almost INSTANTLY.
MILEAGE HEARiNG
STILL UNFINISHED
Railroads Present Their Argu
ments to Force Exchange of
Books at Depots.
Before the state railroad commis
sion today at 10 o'clock the appeal of
commercial travelers for a. change in
mileage book regulations was taken up
again. All yesterday was spent in ar
guing the question. Counsel for nearly
a dozen roads were there to present
their reasons for exchanging tickets for
mileage coupons Instead of accepting
these coupons on the trains, as the
travelers ask. and It was Indicated that
the hearing would continue far into the
afternoon. The commission will take
the case under Advisement and render
its decision later.
The travelers practically completed
their case yesterday, presenting several
witnesses for the Travelers Protective
association, the United Commercial
Travelers and the Georgia Travelers
association. They demand that, the
roads permit conductors to "pull” mile
age on the trains or install separate
mileage ticket windows and agents at
all stations. The railroads insist that
their only means of keeping a proper
check on interchangeable mileage sold
by one. road and used on a dozen is to
have the coupons taken up by a bonded
agent at the station.
W. J. Craig, passenger traffic agent
of the Atlantic Coast Line, took the
stand ■ when the hearing opened today.
He will be followed by counsel and offi
cials of various roads operating in
Georgia.
