praises of the warrior and his wife who

ancient Shinto belief that it i- just
and holy" to die by one - own hand so

Nogi will he buried with full mili

Is being done li.s memory through his
act of self-destrut tion.
Funeral To Be Second

not be known until the dead monarch's
body has been confined In Its last
resting place. Hut it is known that the
new emperor, many of the Japanese
royaltv. the highest officers in the army
and the navy will attend the ceremo
nies From the cities and the interior
will cotne a great outpouring of people
who were thrilled by Nogi's at ts In
life anti who reverence and respect him
evan more in death
In Japan, since the first emperor as
cended the throne about fifio B f , the
Spirit of 'Bushido" has ruled in the
land It was the belief that this spirit
gave high officials the courage to die
when their emperor died. The Japa
nese belief is that every accomplish
ment in one's life is through the power
of the emperor. The mikado i« father
twid ruler, with absolute command
over every man. woman and child In
the nation, and the belief held that no
greater show of affection or loyalty for
a monarch could be shown than to
take one's life when he died so as to
meet him in the next world and be his
slave.
For hundreds of years after the as
cendency of the first emperor this cus
tom prevailed Not only officials, but
people from all walks of life died by
their own hands feeling sure that this
act would merit them a place close to
their dead ruler tn the next world.
Greatest *'Sacrifice”
Os Hundred Years
But during the last few decades,
when Japan became modernized, when
the beliefs and teachings of the west
ern world were taken up, the custom
seemed to have been dying out. There
has never been a death of an emperor
In Japan when some one did not com
mit suicide so as to be near the ruler tn
the land beyond, hut not In the last
hundred years has there been a sacri
fice by n man of such importance and
prominent e as Nogi
Nog! and his wife were both of noble
blood. She was a highly accomplished
woman, a graduate of Vassar college
and spent many years in the United
States Nogi was a man with a won
derful knowledge of the western world
and its ways, a man of wonderful In
tellect. and with ideas broadened to the
point of believing, in man - , of the be
liefs of the Occident.
And so Japan today honors and re
spects the man and woman who com
mitted suicide after all their knowledge
of the world across the seas, io show
the people of Japan that the spjnit of
“Bushido" still lives—that the most
honored death is to die by one'.- own
hand as a show of loyalty and devo
tion to a ruler who has gone beyond.

Mi- Hattie* Bai'neft, woman th'tectivc, who charges protec
tion of vice by unlicensed detectives.
Accuses Unlicensed Detectives
of Giving Protection to Chain
of Illegal Places.
Charging the proteclion of y ice and
the furtherance of the white.slave traf
fic by a bund of unlicensed mivato de
tectives In Atlanta. Mrs. Hattie Bar
i nett, the only woman detective in tlie
1 South, has laid her accusations before
Chief of Police Beavers and has prom
ised to produce evidence that will star
' lie the city.
j Chief Beavers today said he was loath
to discuss Mrs Barnetts sensational
! charge, but that lie would proceed to
immediate action as soon as actual evi
dence was in itis possession.
Declares She Will Produce Evidence.
Mrs. Barnett assured the chief that
she could product the evidence. She
will go before the police commission at
its next meeting and present facts
which she believes will warrant a
sweeping invest igation.
"I know that I will be able to show
up a sy stem of the existence of w hicl»
the average Mlantan does not dream,"
said Mrs. Barnett today. "There is
w idespread Protection' by men w Ito
should have no poyver to protect, but
whose guartiianship seems to be ef
fective. I will sitow this •system up,
and when 1 have produced tlie facts 1
have no doubt the city authorities will
agree with me that drastic action is
, necessary."
The woman detective deelari s that
there is a chain of houses and hotels
under the law's han by their character
but never interfered with. Under tlie
prot' ctioit guaranteed and given by the
band of so-called detective- these
houses and hotels continually violate
the law with impunity.

FELDER WILL NDT
JUDGE TITLE OF
SCHOOL CHIEFS
Attorney General Says It Would
Be Improper for Him to
Answer Pound.
In a brief but exceedingly pointed
i communication to Stetc Superintendent
|"f Schools Brittain, Attorney General
Eelder today declined to render an of
ficial opinion as to the present state
board of education s title to office, hold
ing that to do so would be an improper
use of the attorney generalship.
The request for an official opinion
<ame to the attorney general several
days ago. from the office of the state
superintendent of schools, but not as a
request originating in that official's de
partment
Mr. Brittain made it clear that the
opinion was asked for entirely in be
nalf of Je:e M Pound, of Athens, one
of the unconfirmed Hoke Smith ap
pointees to the state board of educa
tion, said to be determined to contest
the title of the present board, at least
with respect to two of its members.
Glenn and Moon
The attorney genera, holds that for
him to give an opinion, without an ex
ecutive request for the same, would
place him in the attitude of passing
upon and reviewing an executive order
and an act of the governor in his ex
officio capacity of chairman of the state
board of education. This attitude the
attorney genera! will not assume.
Gives Reason For Declining.
The attorney general cites the law
under which his opinions may be asked
and obtained, and plants himself
squarely tipon it in declining Professor
Pound's request, via Superintendent
Bi ittain.
The attorney general's letter follows;
I am in receipt of your letter of
the 12th inst. conveying the request
of Professor Jere M. Pound for my
opinion "as to the validity of his
membership on the state board of
education" under the facts recited.
Replying thereto, I beg to say
that the constitution of the state
makes it "the duty of the attor
ney genera! to act as the legal ad
viser of the executive department."
To render an opinion on the ques
tion presented by Professor Pound
would require that I revietv and
pass upon the legality of an execu
tive order of the governor and cer
tain of his acts as chairman of the
state board of education To do
this in the absence of a tequest
from the governor would be an im
proper use of my office. Indeed, 1
am without authority of law to give
the opinion unless a request for the
same should come from the gov
ernor. The duty of the attorney
general in this regard is prescribed
by statute, which is as follows:
Doesn't Deem It Proper.
"It is the duty of the attorpey
general when required so to do by
the governoi
"To give his opinion in writing
or otherwise, on any question of
law connected with the interest of
the state, or with the duties of any
of the department." Civil Code.
I do not, therefore, deem it prop
er for me to render the opinion re
quested by Professor Pound.
Yours veiy truly,
T S. FELDER.
Attorney General.
Today s action of the attorney gen
eral makes the matter of contesting
tlie titles of the B own recess ap
pointees Glenn and Moon, < xacely w hat
Governor Brown has insisted it must
be made eventually, if undertaken—a
question of court procedure absolutely.
If -Mr. Pound feels that his Hoke
Smitli inoperative title is superior to
Governor Brown’s leeess commission,
now tn the hands of Glenn and Moon,
his only remedy is in the courts. He
may g<> there of his ewn motion, but he
must go without the opinion of the at
torney genetai to back him.
Other Smith Man Satisfied
J C Langston, the other Hoke Smith
appointee to the state board, displaced
by the Brown r< w.-s appointment, wrote
to Governor Brown several weeks ago
that he was satisfied with the Brown
appointments, and w ould <nake no move
to invalidate their titles.
If anv further action against th
present board is taken it must be taken
by Pound alone, as Langston is stand
ing pat on his determination to let the
.matter rest.
\\ hat Mr. Pound w ill do under the
tu:n gi\en atfaiy by the attornev gen
t al s opinion lias not been intimated.

, Syrup of Pigs being composed entire

telephones be itemized and render, 1
the City Electrician on the first
each month.
The Coum ii adopted my recommcn
datum, with the result that today
complete record of all these bill.-
kept by the City Electrician, and in
are settled for monthly in four ch' <
whereas several hundred different
checks weie iequii ed to settit th<
before the Department of Electricity
was created.
Finding the rates for electri.it
Atlanta too high. I fought for a t> - ■
tion until the Georgia Railway
Power Company cut the rates irr.
granted other concessions, which ?
save the people of Atlanta mot t '
$200,000 annually. The new s,
rates goes into effect January 1.
Aud I do not consider the rat, s 1 1 '
enough yet, and I am in favoi ot
th< r I' ductions in the electric rat ■
The present rates for gas in Atlanta
ate also excessive, considering tin I ,
ulation and the amount consumed.
Richmond. Va., with a population
137.000. pays 9o cents per l.Otio f»
lot gas. which rate applies to all veil
sutners.
Atlanta, with ii population of Re
pays $1 la pet 1,1100 cubic feet.
The price of ga - in Atlanta sh<»u■;
reduced at once, as the people are -
ly entitled to cheaper rates foi
household nc< • -sity
Personi-.lly, I believe that the p
of Atlanta appreciate my effort.-
