SEPTEMBER 13. 1912. MfiNlf DIVORCES un DETECTIVES Mrs. Hattie Barnett, Woman Sleuth. Begins a Fight on Irresponsible Agencies. Mrs Hattie Barnett. Atlanta's wom an detective, today announced her in tention of starting a fight before the police commission against all private detective agencies in the city, demand ing a thorough investigation into their workings, and insisting that all private detectives, men and women, he passed on by the commission and required to show a “clean bill of health.” Mrs. Barnett declares that the law is not being complied with by private agencies; that women detectives are at work here who have never been passed on by the commission, and that these women—and male detectives, too —are meddling in divorce cases and “causing a lot of domestic trouble.” Mrs. Barnett cites the city ordinance governing private agencies, which re quires that all employees be examined and approved by the police commission —also a rule of the commission which expressly forbids private detectives working on divorce cases. To Ask Official Probe. Mrs. Barnett says she will appear before the commission at its next reg ular meeting and formally make com plaint and ask for an official probe. “Os course, I will put myself up for investigation along with the others—l have no fears of a thorough investiga tion," she says. As to her charges regarding divorce proceedings, Mrs. Barnett says: “I am satisfied that both men and women detectives are working on di vorce cases in Atlanta, and this should certainly be stopped. Husbands and wives are being shadowed, insane jeal ousies stirred up and a lot of domestic troubles brought on. Os course, the police commission is not responsible, for it has done all it can—forbid such work. But if such conditions are found to exist they should promptly be reme died.” Chief Beavers Surprised. When asked today concerning the operations of private detective agen cies, Police Chief Beavers said that as far as he is aware they are all com plying with the law and the rules of the commission. “These agencies are all required to comply strictly with the law, and if they are violating it in any way, the matter has not been brought to my at tention,” says the chief. “If any of the agencies are working men or women who have not been approved by the commission they are doing it on the sly. All of their employees are supposed to have been passed on. The same thing applies to divorce cases. If private detectives are. working divorce cases they are doing It under cover, and most assuredly are violating a strict rule of the commission. They are prohibited from doing any such work.” Mrs. Barnett, who is the only licensed woman detective in Atlanta, asserts that she is complying with the law in every detail, and says her demand for an investigation is purely a move for a "fair deal." 4— .

I Wimbish to Battle Railways’ Legal Array FIGHTS RATE WAR ALONE William A. Wimbish. the famous At lanta rate expert lawyer, will have per haps the hardest battle of his career in the Birmingham courts next week when he goes to prove for the shippers of the ore fields that the freight rate on pig iron between Birmingham and the Ohio river is discriminatory and un just. For he will fight single-handed against the long array of counsel re tained by a dozen roads. If he wins his case, it will not be the first time one lawver has defeated a score. Herbert S. Hadley, now gov ernor of Missouri, fought, unaided, against a brilliant array of the na tion’s best counsel in the noted Stand ard Os! case, and won. And Mr. Wim bish is not afraid. Mr. Wimbish is recognized as one of the greatest rate experts in the coun try. The tariffs of a hundred railroads are as familiar to him as the alphabet. He has fought railroad rates from Sa vannah to Duluth, on every commodity from stoves to wheat. And usually he has won his point. Roads Have “Carloads of Evidence.” It will be a fight of fights. The evi dence that will be offered, both on the part of plaintiffs and defendants, but mainly on the part of the latter, will be more voluminous, technical and his torical than in any previous fight of its kind, it is said. The Louisville and Nashville rail road has more evidence to offer than any of the other roads, it is said, be cause that line is affected more than any other one by the case. It is whis pered that the evidence will be shipped to Birmingham by the carload. For several weeks lately, more than a dozen rate men of the Louisville and Nashville railroad have been in Bir mingham gathering data from the Southern iron committee, in the Cham ber of Commerce building. This will be used at the hearing. In all, an army of railroad men has been em ployed in gathering evidence for the hearing. And this is what Mr. Wim bish will face next Monday. Wimbish Equal to Task. Those who know Mr. Wimbish say h'e is fully equal to the task. He is a rate expert and interstate commerce lawyser of wide reputation. He is a middle-sized, middle-aged man, with dark hair, and very black, deep, sharp, gleaming eyes. He is not excitable, and does not depend upon effulgent, effusive oratory to win his cases; he presents logic and facts, coldly, calmly, evenly. He never raises his voice and ATLANTA FINANCIER HONORED BY BANKERS AT NATIONAL MEETING John K. Ottley, vice president of the Fourth National bank, is today vice president of the clearing house section of the American Bankers association, following an election of these officers yesterday at the Detroit convention.

In company with a large party of Southern bankers. Mr. Ottley attended the convention and he delivered the principal address at the first meeting of the clearing house section and pre sided at the discussion which followed. Mrs. Ottley and Miss Passie May Ott ley accompanied him to Detroit. j MY I P 25 SUIT IS THE I Talk I ■ OF ■ I Atlanta I FordoN THE I TAILOR I || 8 and 10 N.

GRANDMOTHERS USED SAGE TEA To Darken the Hair and Re store Gray and Faded Hair to Its Natural Color. 1 ' is easier to preserve the color of the hair than to restore ft, although ft is possible to do both. Our grand mothers understood the secret They made a "sage tea." and their dark, glossy hair long after middle life was due to this fact. Our mothers have gray hairs before they are fifty, but they are beginning to appreciate the wisdom of our grandmothers in using "sage tea" for their hair and are fast follow ing suit. The present generation has the ad vantage of the past in that it can get a ready-to-use preparation called Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy. As a scalp tonic and color restorer this preparation is vastly superior to the ordinary "sage tea" made by our grand mothers. The growth and beauty of the hair depends on a healthy condition of the scalp. Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy quickly kills the dandruff germs which rob the hair of its life, color and luster, makes the scalp clean and healthy, gives the hair strength, color and beauty, and makes it grow.

ChamberlirrJohnson Dußose Company Atlanta New York Paris Charming, Beautiful, Altogether Lovely KIMONOS That Brides, That All Women Will Want For Their Own The name kimono does not fit, does not describe, it is flat, it is inadequate, it does not even hint at the real beauty that it stands for in this instance. Perhaps boudoir toilettes would be better—no, that sounds artificial, superficial there is nothing artificial or superficial about the loveliness of these-—we will console ourselves with the thought of what’s in a name—kimonos. Speaking advisedly, We State that Atlanta has never seen such a showing of kimonos as this. It brings to Atlanta the con ceits of Paris, the lacy, dainty, exquisite conceits of Paris. Here is a creation of pink crepe de chine that fall brides will “love” at first sight. Its bodice is hand-embroidered and finished at the low round collar with bands of cluny, but its skirt shows the now-prevailing panniers! These over an accordion plaited skirt. Another of blue crepe de chine is a mass of tucks and plaits with rows of filet lace and cluny and is fashioned with a side-draped skirt. There are styles of the moment in kimonos, too! Then here are the new and wonderful Japanese kimonos— with hand embroidery richer than ever, more colorful, more exquisitely done. A notable example of these is of vivid red, soft satin with huge chrysanthemums and foliage worked in the pale, natural shades. The sash is some six inches wide and is embroidered to match. We could tell you, too, of some short Japanese kimonos in light blue, pink, gold and navy crepe de chine and soft satin and of the very practical and always needed floral silk kimonosand the new Pullman robes in two-toned and striped silks of dark shades. These often button down the whole front and have a hood that pulls over the head. It is an unusual display, one that seems to bring every kind of kimono one could want. It will prove very interest ing. See it.
