PRETTY WOMEN
BEST POLICEMEN.
JUDGE DECLARES
CHICAGO, Nov. 23.—Pretty women
juvenile offiicers will be seen in Chi
cago if the suggestion of Municipal
Court Judge Newcomer is carried out.
Judge Newcomer maintains that a
pretty face i.e more valuable at times
than sheer physical force.
The judge’s observations followed a
case in which Patrick Gorman, a
switchman weighing more than 200
pounds and standing six feet in height,
was brought into his court by Miss
Caro’yn Grimsby, a demure juvenile
court attache.
“Did you arrest this man?” asked the
judge
2He consented to come with me,” re
plied Miss Grimsby. "He said he would
fight before he would go In a patrol
wagon.”
"It appears that pretty juvenile offi
cers have more influence with delin
quent husbands than do husky police-
• men.” said Judge Newcomer. “It might
be well to have more.”
Hudson urged me to join the drinkers,
but I refused, protesting that I was suf
fe.’ ing from a headache after my long
ride on the trains. She then offered me
' a cigarette and I took it and smoked
it. fearing that if I did not I would of
fend all the rest of the people who were
smoking.
“When the time came to talk busi
ness, I was told by Manager Ponder 1
was expected to be a chorus girl.
Will Sue For $50,000.
"He said my salary would be $lO a
week. Still I decided to stick it out un
til something better offered. Eater,
' though, 1 was taken aside by Mrs. Hud
-1 son and Miss Hazel Barrington and
told that members of the chorus were
• expected to select some man of the
■ company with whom to live as husband
and wife, because it saved expenses on
1 the road. They told me there were two
' ‘odd’ men in the company and I could
take my pick.
’ "1 refused and left the house, going
r to a hotel. Later two men called on me
' there. 1 understand they were the ‘odd’
‘ men. I then decided t» appeal to the
police.
[ “I am now determined to see this
1 case through, and not only that, but to
’ sue the agent for $50,000 for the humil
iation I have, suffered.”
Assistant Manager
’ Robert Grier, Mrs. Hudson and the
1 Barrington girl, all held to answer to
’ the Goodwin girl’s charges, declared
’ their arrest was simply due to spite.
"We applied to the agency for «
high-class soubrette,” said Mrs. Hud
: son. "They sent us this girl. She had
no stage experience and could not even
fit in the chorus. We told her so, and
offered her return fare to Cincinnati.
“The manager was to have furnished
' her tile money today, but before he
could do so she brought these trumped
up charges. She was a trouble-maker
from the time she arrived and if she
goes on the stand and tells any of the.*e

By JAMES B. NEVI 3.
Governor Joseph M. Brown’s objec
tions to the elimination of Adam and
Eve from the Bible, by reason of a re-
vision of the fa
mous old King
James version, as
outlined in The
Georgian of yes
terday, attracted a
great deal of at
tention and much
commendation.
A great many
people share with
the governor a
decided disincli
nation to part, for
any reason what
soever, with such
youthful friends
and acquaintances

join with him in
hoping that away may be found to
work such revision as may be deemed
necessary and yet div turb not at all the
first man and the first woman as an
ciently designated by name.
It is rather a significant circum
stance in connection with the govern
or’s remarks on the subject of the pro
posed change in the text of the King
James Bible that he is the possessor
of one of the few original copies of that
book extant.
The governor owns a copy, printed
directly from the original type, that
actually belonged to the king himself,
and is decorated accordingly with the
English royal coat-of-arms. Attached
to the inside cover of tiie book is a
certificate of its genuineness.
This Bible was presented to the gov
ernor by ills brother, the late Julius
L. Brown, as a token of his love and
abiding affection. Between the gov
ernor and his brother Julius a most
tender and loyal attachment existed.
Julius L. Brown was a famous book
collector —one of the most famous in
the nation. His library was tilled to
overflowing witli the quaint, the rare
and the beautiful in books. It was, In
deed, a token ot genuine love and
affection, when lie parted with one of
the most priceless books in his posses
sion—the King James Bible—even to
one so near and so dear as "Brother
Joe."
However, lie did give the book to the
governor—and there Is nothing In the
governor’s possession lie values more.
The book, though somewhat faded
witli age and printed more or less
queerly, as things go nowadays, still Is
In a most excellent state of preserva
tion. The governor keeps this partic
ular book in his private office at the
capitol, and frequently, when wishing
to use a Biblical quotation, refers di
rectly to it, rather titan to the more
modern and less ornate edition near by.
The war department of the United
States government has on band four
cannon set aside by specific act of
congress to the use of “the city of At
lanta” for the purpose of "decorating
the state capitol grounds,” and the
department would be glad if it might

they belong.

place them on the capitol lawn, unless
the legislature agrees; and the legisla
ture will not be in session for a good
I many months to come. The state au
thorities, on the other hand, can not
accept the cannon, for the act of con
gress specifically gives them to “the
city of Atlanta.”
Just exactly how the tangle is to
be straightened out nobody at present
knows, but both city and state authori
ties are anxious to find away whereby
the government’s gracious gift may be
accepted, and at the same time not get
either th. city or tiie state into a legal
snail. %
Governor Lee Luce, of Oklahoma, lias
written to the executive department
of tiie state of Georgia inquiring what,
If any, authority tiie governor has in
the matter of suspending or discharg
ing sheriffs and constables found dere
lict in their duty.
Governor Luce has been answered
that tiie governor of Georgia has no
authority whatever in the direction in
dicated. *
A Georgia sheriff eftn not be removed
from office otherwise than by trial by
Jury.
No matter what a sheriff may do, and
no matter what charge may be brought
against him, the law vouchsafes him a
trial by jury before he may be removed
or suspended from office. A solicitor
general, like a jtTdgv, may lie impeached
—but a sheriff can be disciplined in one
way, and one way only.
Captain Goodloe Yancey, of the Geor
gia prison commission, somewhat ex
citedly remarked in the capitol today
that gbmebody had tendered "Bob”
Gardener, of the same office, a couple
of free tickets tp something or other,
and that “Bob" had turned them down.
The unlikely story was referred to
Commissioners Patterson and Davison,
who happened to be present, and both
expressed grave doubts as to tiie ac
curacy of the allegation.
As Commissioner Williams was ab
sent, however, the commission's unani
mous incredulity could not lie recorded
as an absolutely certain thing.
T. C. Robertson, of Macon, is an ap
plicant for the office of internal reve
nue collector for Georgia.
His friends have organized a cam

TOWER PRISONERS
TO EAT ROAST PIG
THANKSGIVING DAY
Pig and potatoes is to be the Thanks
giving day menu at the Tower, accord
ing to the announcement made by Sher
iff C. W. Mangum today. The sheriff
said that, after yehrs of experience in
feeding prisoners, he has come to the
conclusion that frills dorf’t make a hit.
“I’ve tried . hickt-n,” tie .said, "and
I’ve given them fruit, candy, cranber
ries and various other things that go
with a holiday bill of fare, and they al
ways kick because they dpn’t get roast
Pig.
“Nine out of every ten prisoners in
the Tower think the best dinner in the
world is roast pork and gravy, with
browned potatoes. That is what they
want, and I am going to give it to
them."
TWO MORE STUDENTS
TO SECURE FUNDS FOR
COURSE AT GA. TECH
Two Tech scholarships were made
possible today by donations to the mu
tual scholarship fund, founded at the
school by Professor Gardner, the reg
istrar, to aid worthy young men in re
ceiving a technical education. The
money was given by two Atlanta wom
en, whose names are withheld.
Professor Gardner declared that he
has a number of applications for schol
arships from would-be students, finan
cially unable to attend school.
Two of these will be granted imme
diately. With the pair of scholarships
today five have now been furnished
since the fund was started.

MACON, GA., Nov. 23.—Macon police

burglarized tiie office of a local lumber
company with only the blood finger
prints on a dusty desk as a clew. The
finger prints indicated that a man's
right hand had been cut, and as the
window was smashed in order to effect
an entrance it was guessed that the
burglar wounded himst if in that way.
After three days of watching, the po

The Savannah News, commenting
upon the suggestion, gave it a meas

it might bi a safe and sane way to set

It never was intended, of course, that
