I W. M. Smith, a lawyer, who clashed
with Recorder Pro Tem. Preston in
Police Court Friday, failed Saturday in
an attempt to disqualify Judge Preston
from sitting on the case of Mrs B. E.
Carroll, of 15 Houston street, charged
with conducting a boarding house with
out a license.
Smith questioned Judge Preston as to
whether he had compiled with the city
law requiring him to call on members
of Council to serve on the Police Court
bench In the absence of the Recorder.
Smith also presented a demurrer, ask
ing that the case he thrown out of
court, and this was overruled. The trial
came to a sudden end a few minutes
later, however, when Judge Preston,
after three or four witnesses had been
heard, dismissed the case for lack of
sufficient evidence. He turned the mat
ter over to Sergeant Barfield and Li
cense Inspector Hayes for a further In
vestigation.

Julian Hawthorne, novelist, poet,
philosopher. In the Atlanta Federal
prison, was a very characteristic Ju
lian Hawthorne at the moment when
he learned that Attorney General Mc-
R'eynolds had denied him the freedom
which the parole board recommended
and which he had frankly anticipated.
Haw'thorne read a newspaper ac
count of the official action. For a
long time he stared at the story,
which was a very short story. Then,
without a word to the men near him.
he went into his cellroom, and lay on
his cot.
For half an hour he meditated.
Then he arose, and wrote*a poem that
will be published in the next issue of
Good words, the prison paper.
The poem is entitled “Courage.”
It is a short verse of Hawthorne’s
typical pentameter style, and chock
full of Hawthorne’s typical philosD-
pby of optimism.
Hawthorne Keeps Silent.
All this is the story that Haw
thorne’s fellow prisoners tell of the |
incident two weeks ago. when the |
news first came to the prison that I
the Attorney General had blasted the J
hopes of the distinguished prisoner. I
Hawthorne himself would say nothing |
of it, maintaining a consistent silence j
concerning his personal affairs, as he
has since he first came to the prison, j
It is generally considered among the j
prisoners who have come to know |
Haw'thorne well that he was keenly I
disappointed at the action of the At
torney General, especially after
friends in Washington had assured
him that freedom was forthcoming,
and after the parole board had acted
favorably on his petition for release.
It was believed that he had even laid
plans for the period of freedom that
seemed to be near.
“It hurt him," said one of the pris
oners Saturday. "But he has kept it
to himself. He never mentions the
subject, and it looks as if he resents
the mention of it by others. When
they say anything about it, he usually
laughs, and says nothing.
Prisoners Sympathetic.
“Well, it was only the newspapers
who were sure I would get out,” he
answeivd once, however, to a man
who said he was sorry. “It never wag
the most certain thing in the w’orld,
and I didn’t consider it as such.”
There were a good many expres
sions of sympathy, Hawthorne's
friends said. The tall old man is a
general favorite in the prison. But
with it all there is no outward sign of
disappointment as he sits in the midst
of his fellows on the little hill over
looking the baseball diamond, his
sharp face set, his keen eyes squint
ing as they look out over the bright,
bare, sunlit field.
He and Dr. W. P. Morton will be
free, by the natural expiration of their
terms, in October.
new fashion in wearing apparel,
though. But she is, and a pretty
good proselyter at that. She talked
the new fad very generally in Atlanta
while she was here.
She calls them the 'kneeless stock
ing.” though. “Half hose” has a cold,
unfamiliar, masculine tone to it. And
she makes the prophecy that the
kneeless stocking will be popular.
“Garters?” said she. “Certainly
not. I don’t need ’em. Up New' York
lots of the girls wear silk garters
or men’s hose supporters with these,
but under certain desirable physical
features, you won’t need anything to
hold them up. They just sthy.
"Of course you couldn’t wear these
w’ith a slit skirt, and some might
blush to put them on with a tight
skirt that ('lings when' you mount a
street car or even a sidewalk curb
ing. Still, there is nothing immodest
! in wearing kneeless stockings. They
j are comfortable and convenient.
“Well, you needn't look if you don’t
I want to,” she pertly adds.

Celebrated English
Organist in Recital
Eugene Wyatt to Play Popular Pro
gram at the Auditorium This
Afternoon.
Eugene Wyatt, the celebrated Eng
lish organist, will be the soloist at the
free concert at the Auditorium-Ar
mory Sunday afternoon at 4 o’clock.
Wyatt plays to 12 000 people at a
time in Royal Albert Hall, London.
He is expected to play to over 6.000
in Atlanta.
While the program is one that will
surely interest all musicians, it is full
of melody and harmony and will ap
peal strongly to the popular ear.
Mr. Wyatt Is the first of a number
of distinguished organists who will
be brought here by the Music Festi
val Association during the next cou
ple of months. From among them
will be chosen a successor to Dr. Per
cy J. Sthrnes.
Miss Bunee Wyde said sh*> should
worry. Everybody else was swearing
at the beastly weather whose heat
left no peace in mind or body.
“You see?” she said naively, and
hoisted her skirts a wee bit beyond
the conventional height. She was
wearing half hose. Men’s socks.
She had brought to Atlanta a new
fashion. Very frankly she announced
her belief that the short socks are
good to wear, much, ever so much,
more comfortable than the long stock
ing; allow much, ever so much, free
dom of the limbs, and are altogether
desirable. And to her very best
friends she minded not a bit to show
them that she indeed wore them.
Everybody in Atlanta laughed at
Miss Wyde and with Miss Wyde at
the Forsyth Theater last week, where
she played with Franker Wood in a
little act, “Good Night.” Nobody
picked her for the bold apostle of a
