CHARGES RIFE IT TEACHERS' MEET Great Bitterness Between the Western and Eastern Mem bers Over Presidency. CHICAGO, July 11.—Bitterness in the National Educational association, which developed over the tight for the pres idency has not disappeared with the flection of E. T. Fairchild, of Kan and today there were open threats split in the organization. Friends' ', f jfjss Grace Strachan, of New York. ,’h,, was defeated for the discussed the advisability of organizing an Eastern association and leaving the present organization. These suggestions came after the presidential election had been held and were followed by an exchange of parges between Miss Strachan and jtisAlargaret Haley, of Chicago. ' nis’s Matilda C. Ford, one of Miss Strachan's political managers, precipi tated the row when she charged that jp.s Halev had tried to intimidate her the convention hall. Then Miss Ha. ley made public an affidavit, which she had prepared but had not Intended to ufse . The affidavit asserts that Miss Haley was present at a meeting of sonl e of the New York teachers, when Mist, Strachan's candidacy was first discussed. She said she told the New York teachers that the Chicago teach ers thought Miss Strachan's candidacy at this time ill-advised. Discussed “Pulling Wires.” Then, the affidavit asserts, the New York teachers asked a number of ques tions about political conditions in Chi cago and suggested that if Mayor Har rison could be forced to tell Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of Chica go schools, to support Miss Strachan the Chicagoans might change their views. They also discussed the ad visa bllltv of getting a letter from Mayor Gaynor to Mayor Harrison, and “get ting a line on" some member of the board of education. Miss Strachan's reply was decidedly torrid. She said that in San Francisco Miss Haley and she had been appointed members of a committee to investigate teachers' salaries. The committee em ployed a secretary at $1,500. Her charge, flatly stated, was that Miss Ha. ley wanted the place, but Miss Stra chan opposed the idea, and it tvent t? some one else.

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 befo: ea woman can be a real sleuth she must side track love and ail 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 Mrs. 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. Barnett, but 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 natujai 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 oveicome the love obstacle, Mrs. Barnett smiled and said: "Well, it’s a very simple story, in the first place, I don't want you to get the idea that I have a stone heart and that I'm incapable of love. No, 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.” 1 have loved—l won't say how many times —but 1 know that love and de tective business will not mix. "I fell in love—violently so—after 1 had been 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, Mrs. Barnett says, she will confide in him. give away her plans, and spoil her game. Her mind would be so full of mush, too, that she would be totally unable to think and calculate clearly and shrewdly. Must Have Lots of Nerve. “Outside of all these requirements,” continued Mrs. Barnett, "a woman de tective must have unusual ability, a plentiful supply of good, common sense, car loads of nerve and tact, must be possessed of discernment, must possess a big store of legal knowledge, must be industrious, and. above all, must be refined. I would lay special stress on the word 'industrious,' for it is out 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 poor 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 rjifferent from what she expected, and she’ll proceed to make things hot generally. She’ll be rnean 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” w hen it comes to working divorce en-es. "It’s unpleasant work, and then I don’t believe in meddling in family troubles,” she says. "I leave that fol 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 SCALES ON FISHING POLE TO ROUT THE SKEPTICAL COLUMBUS, IND.. July IL—Leon J. Cox, clerk of the Bartholomew circuit court, is an ardent fisherman, and he has at last rigged up an outfit that will help him greatly in the future. In the past he has often gone fishing, cast his fly and hooked a big one only to have it get away. He told friends about the weight of the fish that got away, but they have been skeptical. Now Cox has bought a spring bal ance weighing up to fifteen pounds. It is a small affair, but has been tested and found to be accurate. He will at tach this to his line near the pole, and when he hooks a fish the jerk will cause the balance to register the weight of the flsh.

OKLAHOMA CITY, OSLA.. July 11. There are mighty few men in the world 1 who would stake their fortune, or the greater portion of it at least, against the uncertainty of its raining. But that, is what Daniel W. Hogan, president of the Partners National bank of Okla homa City, did last year. As the result, he has commenced the erection of a $30,(>00 residence in the exclusive sec- ' tion of the capital city. When the glooms came riding down upon dust clouds and the burning sun of July and August turned the pasture a crisp, lifeless brow n last year, Okla homa farmers were forced to sell their live stock. Daniel Hogan, banker and ■ capitalist saw his chance. He bought '• cattle. He mortgaged those and bought more cattle. No rain came and it looked mighty ( bad'for Hogan. When it seemed that the crash was Inevitable, the rain came . Hogan not only saved himself from the shoals, but wheh be sold his cattle he ' was many thousand dollars “to the good.” FRANCE IN DREAD DE BREAD FAMINE People Hungry and Desperate as Speculators Coin Necessi ties of Life Into Gold. PARIS, July 11.—" Let us smash the infamy! Let us smash the infamy!” This is the shibboleth which has been resounding through the legislative and municipal halls of Paris during the past few. days. The, infamy referred to is the coining of the necessities of the people into gold by speculation; espe cially in wheat, flour and sugar. It is calculated that there will be a bread famine in Paris by July 12 and the municipal council of Paris recom mends the communes of France to buy up the surplus of wheat, flour and sugar, so that their people may not be charged famine - prices by speculators. This follows closely the doctrine preached recently by the Socialist lead er, M. JaureS, w hose advocacy of a sim ilar purchase by the nation for the benefit of the people was recently pre sented in America. From the whole discussion in the chamber, senate and city council it is quite clear that speculation is the en emy of the people. Georgeu Berry, dep uty for Paris, a man whose name stands for civic virtue, says: Lower Tariff the Remedy. "At Toulon. Bordeaux and Limoges the municipal councils ask how long 'hey will be able to give bread to the population. Thus we may have a short age of bread all over France any day. We must not shut our eyes so as not to see, nor close our ears so as not to hear. The situation is all the more serious because in France bread Is the basis of all sustenance, and for a ma jority of the population is half their food. “Those who do not lower the barrier of tariff and let In wheat to feed our people forget the lesson of history. While our people are crying for bread, they do not offer them stones, but they are practically saying with Marie Antoinette, ’Why not give them cake?’ “Why should people be allowed to go hungry as long as bountiful Mother Earth produces cheap wheat in Aus tralia and elsewhere? Free the latter from tariff and you will liberate home grown wheat from unruly speculation and save our workingmen from starva tion. Unless a remedy be found, I foresee the direst consequences for the tranquillity of my country. The old Romans at least gave bread and cir cuses to the people. We, the heirs to the Roman civilization, should have been able to improve on that during all the long cerkurles which have since elapsed. Insread of which, speculators —the lineal descendants of the money changers whom t’hrist ejected from the temple—have got us by the throat.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS Speaker Holder probably warded off by immediate and emphatic diplomacy Tues day something of a scene in the house, when he decided right off the reel that the "ayes" had it upon the question of ex tending the use of the hall of the house of representatives tomorrow evening to Hon. Thomas E. Watson, for an address upon public Isspes of the day. When the resolution had been read, the speaker put the question to the house in due and ancient form, and while the "ayes" responded nobly, there was a vo ciferous chorus of "noes” playing a close second. The division was rather narrow apparently, although the "ayes" seemed to have it. The speaker inflicted a re sounding whack upon his desk, raised his gavel menacingly as if about to whack again, and said, “The ayes have it!” Far, remote, and distant W’as it from anybody to dispute the ruling, in the cir cumstances, and so much eloquence and not a small degree of bitterness was warded off for the time being—and that was right, perhaps, in view of the fact that the Tippins bill was up for consid eration, and there was evidence of sul phur in the air, anyway. There are members of the legisla ture on record as favoring the Tip pins bill who love it almost so ardent ly as the average rich man loves his poor kin. Mr. Converse, of Lowndes, enjoys quite a reputation as a word slinger among his legislative colleagues. In addressing himself adversely to the Tippins bill on Tuesday, the honorable gentleman released a vocabulary that clothed his ideas in grand, gloomy, and peculiar dignity at times, but went pret ty well over the heads of some of his hearers, nevertheless. "Converse is a splendid orator, and speaks with persuasive and compelling emphasis," said a member down in front, "but w’hen he begins handing out those jaw-breakers, I have to do mental gym nastics to keep up with him. When he began speculating today, for Instance, about 'incompatibles prescribed by some austere psychological physicians,’ I threw up my hands. I honestly didn’t know what he was talking about—believe me!" Somehow, the notion abides that the Honorable Hoke Smith was neither shocked nor surprised that his un confirmed appointments were permit ted by the Georgia senate to remain unconfirmed. A writer in The New York Sun calls down Clark Howell for referring to the late Frederick Douglass as "a little black man.” This writer avers that Mr, Howell didn't know what he was talking about when he described Douglass after that fashion.

When the book was opened, four per sons confessedly interested in pending legislation, immediately walked right up and registered. Following that fine get away, there was nothing doing In the registering business until-within the last few days. There are now upon the book some two score or more of names, many of them familiar enough, too, as those things go. The book for the registration of lobby ists is a product of the great “reform” movement inaugurated in Georgia a few years back, and evidences of which may be found Scattered all through the stat ute books, If one but look. It is generally thought to be a good thing, and it certainly was planned to meet a worthy purpose. So far, however. It contains the name of no person who would be suspected of dishonorable or questionable purpose around and about the capitol, whether his name appeared in the book or not. The idea that these registered “lobby ists” are required to wear big badges and green feathers in their hats is an error. They dress, and, in the main, act like ordinary human beings. 3
