LAID TO SHYSTER
DETECTIVES
Mrs. Hattie Barnett, Woman
Sleuth. Begins a Fight on
Irresponsible Agencies.
Mrs Hattie Barnett, Atlanta’s wom
an detective, tQday 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
I 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 cdses 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."

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 ease, it will not be
the first ttmo , n Isip -r 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 Oil 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
he is fully equal to the task. He is a
rate expert and interstate commerce
lawyer 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

GRANDMOTHERS
USED SME TEA
To Darken the Hair and Re
store Gray and Faded Hair
to Its Natural Color.
~ Jt easier to preserve the color of
tne hair than to restore it, although it
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.

Charming, Beautiful, Altogether Lovely
KIMONOS
That Brides, That All Women Will Want
For Their Own
rhe name kimono does not tit, 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.
