C HICAGO. Dec. 13.—Mary E. Bell
is special examiner in a proceeding
initiated by the independent tele
phone interests of the Pacific Coas*
against the American Telephone ant
Telegraph Company on a charge of
violating the Sherman anti-trust law.
She is the only woman special exam
iner in this country.
In this case Miss Bell takes the
place of a judge of the United States
District Court of Oregon, Robert S
Bean.
To be sure, le is not invested with
the dignity derived from an appoint
ment by the President of the Ujiited
States and a confirmation by the
Senate, but she presides at these
hearings, opens and adjourns court
and in general performs all the func
tions except mose which would b*
called strictly judicial.
An effort was put forth by an in
terviewer to make Miss Bell “fee!
big,’’ but it was to the last degree un
successful. "It is ridiculous to con
sider this matter one of any import
ance,’’ she replied.
This, however, is far and away the
most important case that was ever
prosecuted under such conditions, and
Miss Bell is equal to the occasion.
She has already taken testimony in
San FYancisco. Tacoma, Seattle, Spo
kane Butte and Denver, und when
the case is completed in this city,
which will be in a few' days, she will
proceed to New York on a similar
mission and possibly to other cities.
And wherever Miss Bell goes she will
be supreme in the courtroom, but by
no means a tyrant.

ation suit, which began in the law
and equity court here several days
ago, realized the day after her wed
ding last April, as she claims, that
she no longer loved her husband, a
prominent young business man of
Richmond and plaintiff in the action,
she asked her brother, Frank Rat-
clifte, a traveling salesman, to place
her In a sanitarium in Atlanta <
New Orleans.
She preferred these places, she tes
tified, because she was dearly attach
ed to her brother and would thus be
in a position to see him frequently.
Her marriage, . which was a surprise
affair, had completely upset her
nerves, she said. Consequently she
wished treatment in a sanitarium.
Taken to Pittsburg Instead.
Her brother, however, decided to
take her to Pittsburg, to make her
home with friends of his in that city.
She left for Pittsburg two days aft
er th? wedding and has since remain
ed there, despite the efforts of hei
husband to induce her to return to
him.
Mrs. Walker, who was formerly
Miss llfttie Ratcliffe, is 22 and very
pretty. After she and Walker were
married by Dr. .1. Calvin Stewart, a
Presbyterian minister, on the morn
ing of April 25, the two started North
on tl/'Tir honeymoon, but were called
back before they had proceeded twen
ty biles by a telegram from John
Katdiffe, another brother* of the
briefc, saying that her mother had

of' he wedding and that she had bet

declared that she realized several
hours after returning to the city
from her brief honeymoon that she
had made a terrible mistake.
Kissed During Engagement.
She no longer loved her husband
and she told him so, she said, when
he attempted to kiss her the day fol

however, that he had frequently kiss

those occasions she did not object.
She made the distinction, though,
that "Mr. Walker kissed her.” She
