Something may arise to postpone the
change in official positions, but prob
ably not. The delay of nearly a
month was made by Governor Slaton
to permit the appointees to get the
work now on hand out of the wa\.
Has Work Pending.
Judge Hill has a- number of deci
sions yet to write and there are .sev
eral pending in which it is desirable
that all three of the present judges
should participate.
The motion for a new trial for Leo
M. Frank, convicted of the murder of
Mary Phagan, is set to be heard be
fore Judge Roan October 4.
Judge Hill in his new position will
receive a salarv of $5,000 annually.
Judge Roan will receive $4 000 as a
member of the appellate court. Mr
Reid will get a mlarv of $3,000 as
judge of th* 1 Stone Mountain circuit,
end Mr. Napier, the new Solicitor
General, will he paid in fees.
Governor Slaton’s action set at rest
a great amount of conjecture. Spec
ulation has been rjfe since the crea
tion of the new judgeship as to whe
would get the plum. Judge Hill and
Judge Roan were the leading candi
dates. although several others had
been mentioned. Judge Roan loses
$1,000 of his present salary by the
new arrangement. A«» judge of the
Stone Mountain circuit he received r
salary of $3,000, and for presiding
over the criminal division of the Ful
ton Fountv Superior Gourt he re
ceived an additional $2.ooo.
W«"s Federal Prosecutor.
Judge Hill was Solicitor General of
Fulton County from 1877 to 1885, a
position In which his brother, Charles
D. Hill, succeeded him Grover Cleve
land, In his first administration as
President, made him United States
District Attomev for the Northern
District of Georgia
On the death of his father in 1882,
Governor Colquitt tendered him the
unexpired term of the elder Hill in
the United States Senate. The posi
tion was dec'ined in a letter that was
wjdelv published with most favorable
comments. He later was defeated for
the unexplred term by two votes by
Pope Barrow.
After the expiration of his term as
United States Attorney, he was ap
pointed by Judge Newman. Justice
White and Judge Pardee as Standing
Master In Chancery in the Circuit of
the United States for the Fifth Judi
cial Circuit. He was elected to the
Court of Appeals along with Judge
Powell and Judge Russell, and
upon the. organization of the court in
January, 1907, he was selected as
chief judge.
Has Heavy Grind.
The work of the Court of Appeals
has been exceptionally heavy, the
court deciding over 5.000 cases, re
ported in twelve volumes. Judge Hill
participated in the decision of every
case and wrote many of the most im
portant opinions. Inasmuch as the)
Court of Appeals has exclusive juris
diction of all criminal appeals, except
where there is a conviction for a
capital offense, Judge Hill has had re
markable exuerienca in the Interpre
tation and enforcement of the crim
inal law.
His duties in the new judgeship
primarily will he to try all the fel
onies In Fulton County, although his
jurisdiction as to other matters will
be the same as the other judges of
the Superior Court. He gives up a
place on a court of last resort with
a term of six years, to which he was
elected last October, for a lower po
sition, with the necessity of going
before the people for election next
summer. The work, however, is less
arduous and th$ salary is $1,000
more.
Judge R. B. Russell will succeed
Judge Hill as the chief judge of the
Court of Appeals.
Judge Roan Able.
Judge Roan has presided over some
of Georgia’s most famous criminal
trials. He has been judge of the
Stone Mountain circuit for a long
term of years and has gained the
reputation of being one of the most
able criminal jurists in the State.
Solicitor Reid lives at Palmetto.
Campbell County, and has been the
prosecutor In the Stone Mountain cir
cuit- for several years. He has made
an enviable record in his position and
his appointment was regarded prac
tically as certain.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.—The one-
battleship policy of Congress will not
only strike a severe blow at the de
fensive power of the United States,
but will throw’ out of employment
thousands of men who depend upon
navy yards work for their daily bread,
it was learned here to-day.
The dangers of a continuation of
the policy were set forth as follows
by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant
Secretary of the Navy:
1. A decrease of the fighting
strength of the American navy by six
first class ships by 1916.
2. The discharge of thousands of
employees of navy yards throughout
the United States* within the next
four months.
3. The resultant loss of the Gov
ernment corps of expert mechanics
skilled in battleship and big gun con
struction.
"There are ten battleships sched
uled for retirement from the ranks of
the navy during the next four years,”
said Mr. Roosevelt.
“This is in compliance with the
well-established estimates of navy
experts that the life of a battleship
is fifteen years. Four will go out of
commission this year and two will
pass the age limit each succeeding
year until 1916. A continuance or the
one-battleship policy, therefore, will
mean the loss of six fighting vessels
to the navy.
“Repair of the battleship fleet has
been practically accomplished by the
navy yards, and from now on this
work wi'l not rise above the normal.
Also all of the large contracts for
new’ battleships have been let, and
unless Congress enacts a larger navy
program, the navy yard forces must
inevitably be reduced.”
Mr. Roosevelt admitted that work
row’ being done by private contrac
tors should go to Government shops.
"Money could be saved by this pro
gram,” he «aid. “and the work would
be as well if not better done. Bills
providing for the building of big gun
and armor p'ate foundries are now
pending in Congress.”
Navv yard employees have set afoot
a petition to Secretary Daniels and
President Wilson calling attention to
the present state of affairs. They will
present the. petition to the Secretary
and urge upon him a four-battleship
program. Commandant Jones, of the
Washington Navy Yard, which was
recently hit by the discharge of 40
expert machinists, predicted to-day
that these petitions would come to
naught.
"It is up to Congress to give the
men more w’ork,” said Jones. “We
have all the men we can handle under
the present battleship program, un
less the Government wants to’ give
them armchairs and newspapers and
pay first-class machinists salaries for
the rest of the winter.”
The shock experienced by a hand
some and wealthy divorcee of Jack
sonville, Fla., when she discovered
that a good looking barber on whose
finger she had placed a $200 diamond
ring was a married man was described
tearfully to-day before Magistrate
Gorman.
The divorcee w’as Mrs. E. A. Her
bert, the former wife of a rich Jack
sonville real estate man, and the bar
ber in the case was Howard Carroll,
who has the figure and face of a mat-
. inee idol.
Mrs. Herbert had caused Carroll's
arrest on the charge of larceny of the
ring.
Mrs. Herbert testified that when,
j on the next day, she saw’ that the dia
mond was missing from the finger
I ,,f her barber, she asked him what
had become of it, he replied that he
I had lost it.
