J/y \ Wliwk '- • - L>\\) o<z 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 hat 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 slje 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, hut 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 tn 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 overcome the love obstacle, Mrs Barnett smiled and said: “Well, it’s a very simple story. In the first place. 1 don’t want you to get the idea that I have a stone heart and that I’m incapable of love Not at all. T have a big. warm hea*rt. 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 —1 won’t say how many times—but I know that love and de tective business will not mix. "I fell in love— violently so —aftei I 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, Mis. 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 tq_think and calculate dearly 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 1 would lay special stress on the word industrious,’ sot it is out THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS.

She must either work exclusively for men or for women alone. Mrs. Barnett’s specialty is men. In refply 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 different from what she expected, and she'll proceed to make things hot generally. She’ll be mean you. declare you are the capse of the whole trouble order you away and refuse to pay you. I’ve been there." Doesn’t Work Divorce Cases. Mrs. Barnett is ils<> “hands off” when it cotnes 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. Harnett 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 bouse 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 bis haste, the murder er dropped his hat. There was no name, nor initials, nor other mark of identification in the hat. tint from the number on the band Mrs. Barnett took her cue and solved the mystery. Summing up the results of her ex perience. Mrs. Barnett said: "The men are leading the women in uprightness. Women are far more sin ful and are doing more injury to so ciety." PROBATION BILL BEGOAMENDED McElreath Measure Provides Minor Offenders Must Work for Benefit of Families. Representative McElreath's bill pro viding for a probation system today was recommended so: passage by the house judiciary committee and will come up for a vote in a short time. Mr. 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 tim .will provide for their families. The bill permits judges in the stat, i 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. His 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 practically 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 F|arold avenue, as to why 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 rhachine 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 bad.” 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 found in their pockets They will be tried next Tuesday.

"Just Like the English"—Powers GLOOM DOLL IS NEW FAD W J A mW r A Thing of Gloom, and a Jov Forever. Famous Cartoonist, When 1 t?ld of Invention. Says They Take Fun Seriously. NEW YORK, July 11.—" So they aro 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 Ms 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 I 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." “I 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 hls 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. I 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 live in the summer." The interview, w’hich was obtained by a Georgian correspondent who traveled all of 60 feet to see Mr. Pow ers in bis 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 w’as very British. Powers didn’t see it, but he drew it from de scription.

MILEAGE HEABING STILLUNFINISHED 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. s BRICK MAKERS STRIKE TO GET PAY IN REAL MONEY CHATTANOOGA. TENN..
