Nov. 23. —Pretty- women juvenile offiic rs will be seen in Chi cago if the suggestion of Municipal Court Judge Newcomer is carried out. Judge Newcomer maintains that a pretty face is? more valuable at times •han sheer physical force. The judge’s observations followed a case in which Patrick Gorman, a switehmgn weighing more than 200 pounds and standing six feet in height, was brought into his court by Alias Carolyn Grimsby, a demure juvenile court attache. "Did you arrest tiiis man?” asked the judge. "He consented to come with me,” re fill; d Miss Grimsby. "He said he would tight 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 tiiat I was suf fering from a headache after my long ride ou the trains.

Eater, though, I was taken aside by Mrs. Hud son and Miss Hazel Barrington and told that members of the chorus were expected to select some man of the company witli whom to live as husband and wife, because it saved expenses on the road. They told me there were two ‘odd’ men in the company and I could take my pick. “I refused and left the house, going to a hotel. Later two men called on me the e. I understand they were the ‘odd’ men. I then decided to appeal to the police. “I am now determined to see tnls ease through, and not only that, but to sue the agent for $50,000 for the humil iation I have suffered.” Assistant .Manage Robert Grier, .Mrs. Hudson and the Barrington girl, all held to answer to the Goo-’.win 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 he. return fare to Cincinnati.

Weems, whose meteoric * career in matrimony included four unhpppy mar. riages, left a note addressed to Police Chief Hilhouse, explaining his act, part of which follows: "I am awfully sorry to resort to such a measure, but when a woman runs away after making a man go to ex tremes to get money for iter and then refuses to come to h.s aid, it’s time to quit. And yet I idolize her. Now that she has another, she leaves me to face the penitentiary. Kindly’ notify my brother in Baltimore. This woman, Es telle Baggot. has ruined my’ life. She has already’ ruined one life, her hus band whom she comes here to get rid of.

Bro.n’s objec tions to the elimination of Adam and Eve from the Bible, by reason of a re vision of Qie fa- t -p mous old King James version, as S:J outlined in The Georgian of yes- * . terday. attracted a \ great deal of at- fir -'W tention and much |L WgS commendation. A great many’ people share with x the governor BMp decided disincli- |Bm sjiu nation to part, for jw. jg&O any reason what soever, with such ' ■ JBIM youthful friends jffi J and acquaintances as Adam and Eve, and they join witli him in hoping that away may be found to work such revision as may be deemed necessary and yet diuiurb not at ail 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 the book is a certificate of its genuineness. This Bible was presented to t#e gov ernor by his 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 filled to overflowing with the quaint, the rare and the beautiful in books. It was, in deed. a token of genuine love and affection, when he 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, he did give the book to the governor—and there is nothing in the governor’s possession he values more. The book, though somewhat faded with 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 than to the more modern and less ornate edition near by. The war department of th. United States government has on hand 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 dispose of them to the parties autnor ized to accept and place them where they belong. ilnder ' le so mi what cmiom resalu■ tion awarding them to Atlanta, how ever, it is difficult for the city authori- ty JAMES B. NEVKi ties to know what to do with the can non. Th' city can not accept them and p’ace tii.' u (.n the capitol lawn, unless the legislature agrees; and the legisla ture will not be in session for a good many months to come. The state au thorities, on the other hand, can not accept the cannon, for the act of con vicss /specifically gives them to “the city of Atlanta.” Jus: 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 the city or the state into a legal snarl. Governor Lee Luce, of Oklahoma, has written’ to the executive department of 'he slate o> Georgia inquiring what, If any, authority the governor 1 has In the matter of suspending or discharg ing sheiiffs and constables found dere lict in their Governor Luce has been answered that the governor of Georgia has no authority whatever in the direction in dicated. A Georgia sheriff can 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 judge, may be 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 somebody had tendered "Bob” Gardener 1 , of the same office, a couple of free tickets to 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 the ac curacy of the allegation. As Commissioner Williams was ab sent, however, the commission's unani mous incredulity could not he 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 paign committee and more than 800 personal letters have been sent hrough out the state in his behalf. He also has friends of influence in touch with Senators Smith and Bacon. Mr. Robertson is an insurance man of the Central City. The Jackson Argus, without guaran teeing anything, picks out the follow ing probable postmasters-to-be in Georgia: Atlanta —J. R Smith. Macon —Thomas J. Simmons, Savannah—B. P. Axson. Rome —John D. McCartney. Athens—Harvey SP-wall. Dalton-—T. S. Shope. There are 2,359 candidates, real and m ar, for these same jobs, however, who will demur, both emphatically and vo ciferously. to these predictions, of course. G.

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 years of experience in feeding prisoners, lie hoe come to the conclusion that frills don’t make a hit. “I've tried chicken,” he said, “and 1 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 don’t get roast Pig. X “Nine out of every ten prisoners in the Tower think the best dinner in the world is roast jM>rk 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 tiie fund was started. MACON SLEUTHS REGULAR FINGER-PRINT_SHERLOCKS MACON, GA.. Nov. 23.—Macon police have worked out a real Sherlock Holmes case, arresting a negro who burglarized the 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 himself in that way. After three days of watching, the po lice arrested a negro who had three cuts on his right hand. Witnesses were found who swear that they saw the ne gro near the plant on the night of the robbery. Ho was formerly employed at the place, and was familiar with the premises. He has been bound over to the superior court for trial. spreading throughout the state, and the idea is winning a large measure of fav or as it spreads, moreover. The Savannah News, commenting upon the suggestion, gave it a meas ure of indorsement several days ago, and now The Augusta Chronicle thinks It might be a safe and sane way to set tle the postmastership controversies In congressional districts of Democratic persuasion. it never was Intended, of course, tha' the postmastership primary idea should prevail in districts having Re publican congressmen, for. of course, the postmasters appointed throughout the nation under a Democratic admin istration will l>e Democrats. Here in Georgia, however, the post mastership primary would serve a fine purpose—it would enable a congress man to solve the puzzle of postoffice patronage fairly and without favor in his district.
