Asks To Be Locked
In Cell to Escape
Imaginary Enemies
Almost frozen by his night’s ex
posure In the woods near Ponce De
Leon Park, where he had taken ref
uge from an imaginary mob, I. Ivey,
staggered into police headquarters
Friday and asked Chief Beavers to
protect him from his enemies.
Ivey is the man who startled room
ers in the Williams House at No.
15 1-2 Marietta by his sensational at
tempt several days ago to leap from
a window on the third floor to the
pavement below. He was prevented
from carrying out his rash intention
by the strips of iron fastened on the
outside of the window'. He said then
be was trying to escape his enemies.
Chief Beavers complied with the
man’s request to be locked up and
will later have an examination made.

FOB THIEF
Neighbor Getting Into Wrong
House Almost Shot by Mrs.
Barnett, the Detective.
Mrs. Hattie Barnett’s revolver was
squarely in the face of S. P. Sims;
her finger was closing on the trig
ger; the death of the supposed bur
glar was hanging on a hairline in
the early hours of Christmas morn
ing. when a vision stopped the trig
ger finger of Atlanta’s woman detec
tive.
She told about it in the Recorder’s
Court Friday morning.
“It just wasn’t that man’s time to
die,” Mrs. Barnett said. “I had the
revolver fairly in his face and my
finger was closing on the trigger,
when I had a sort of vision.’’
And this is the story.
About 2 o’clock Thursday morning
Mrs. Barnett was awakened by the
ringing of her door bell. It was Sims
at the door, but Mrs. Barnett did not
know that. Sims is Mrs. Barnett's
next door neighbor, living at No. 9
Woodward avenue, while Mrs. Bar
nett’s home, where she lives with a
sister and a young couple who board
there, is at No. 15 Woodward ave
nue. i
Slams Door in His Face.
The doorbell rang, and rang in
sistently. Mrs. Barnett got up, don
ned slippers and dressing gown, and
went to the door.
She opened it without hesitation. A
man outside tried to shove his way
past her into the house. She did not
recognize Sims.
Mrs. Barnett is robust of physique
and her vocation requires and de
velops determination. She shoved the
intruder outside and slammed and
locked the door.
Then she went to the telephone and
called the police. As she finished her
message she heard a smash of glass
from her bedroom window. Mrs.
Barnett knew just what it was. She
ran to her bed and from under the
pillow she drew a revolver. It was
not a feminine sort of revolver. It
was long and rakish as to barrel, blue
in color, heavy in caliber—a business
like weapon.
As the woman detective grasped
the revolver, a man swung through
the shattered window into the room.
Fails to Recognize Neighbor.
They were face to face, the woman
detective and the housebreaker, and
still there was no thought In Mrs.
Barnett's mind that this wiid-eyed
intruder advancing on her was Sims,
her next-door neighbor, with whom
she wasn't acquainted.
“My arm came up automatically,'’
Mrs. Barnett continued the story.
‘The muzzle of the revolver was al
most touching the man’s face, and I
was pressing the trigger—that man, I
tell you, was the same as a dead man,
right then. And then there flashed
into my mind a picture, like a frag
ment from some motion picture
drama.
“I saw the picture of a mother—a
mother and a little child. It was fa
miliar, and in the same instant I
recognized the woman as my next-
door neighbor, and the child as her
baby; I had seen them often.
“But I can’t for the life of me un
derstand why I associated that man
with the picture. I don’t remember
ever having seen him before.
“I stood there, with the gun in the
DETROIT. MICH., Dec. 26.—Fire I

Atlanta Whipped by Forty-Mile Board to Make Tour of Cities in
Icy Wind—Sleet Adds to
Sting of Wintry Snap.
Following a Christmas Day that
started out with rain and wound up
with a snow flurry, a whooping wind
descended on Atlanta and vicinity
Friday morning and kept the mercury
hovering around not far above the
freezing mark. Tne mercury was b-j-
low the freezing mark for several
hours in the early morning.
The schedule for Atlanta is con
tinued cold, without reaching the de
gree of a cold wave, and wkh scanty
prospects of snow ^ practicalv
none at all for rain, although the
clouds will curtain the sky until
sometime Saturday.
“I -hould say tho thermometer
would reach freezing Saturday morn
ing.’’ said C. F. Von Herrmann, weath
er director. “That will be a shade
colder than it waj this morning; not
much change in temperature. The
wind will modify its gait, but the
clouds will hang on until about noon
Saturday, though the chance of their
spilling anything in the w'ay of rain
or snow practically is negligible.”
Mr. VonHerrmann said the "Christ
mas storm” that came up out of tho
gulf just in time to stage a dismal
day for Atlanta had worked its way
up to the New England States, where
it was ma .ing thi igs gloomy.
No Trouble Ahead for Dixie.
“There’s not much else on the map
to give trouble here,” Mr. VonHerr
mann said. “A few stations along
the Canadian border report zero
weather, but it 1 .o get 20 degrees
colder there befo.e we feel the ef
fects in this clime. Sunday ought to
be a fair day, ar.d net unpleasantly
cold.”
The cold snap came with a 40-
mile gale sweeping over the South.
It is making overcoats and furs on
Peachtree street as common as snow-
shoes in the frozen North. The wdnd
reached its maximum velocity early
Friday morning, blowing steadily a;
about 40 miles from midnight until 2
o’clock.
36-Mile Wind on Christmas.
Christmas afternoon the wind
raced through Atlanta streets and
around the corners of the skyscrapers
at a 36-mile-an-hour clip, diminishing
somewhat as night came on, only to
exceed its former speed as midnight
approached.
At 7 o’clock Friday morning the
official thermometers at the Weath
er Bureau registered 33 degrees, and
indications are that this probably
will be lowered before to-morrow
morning.
Th cold snap started directly aft
er the rain ceased falling Christmas
Day, and reached its climax after the
sweeping gale. The highest tempera
ture during the day”ght hours yes
terday was 48 degrees, and at time®
the thermometer got down to freez
ing. At 7 o'clock Christmas night
the temperature w'as 34 degrees, and
during tlw remainder of the night
the mercury ranged between 32 and
34.
Snow Flurry Seen.
A snow flurry was seen at 4:10

RACING
RESULTS
Race to View Claims at
First Hand.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 26—Atlanta
was proposed to Secretary of the
Treasury Mc.Adoo to-day by Senator
Hoke Smith as a regional reserve
bank city in the South. The indorse
ment was placed on file for further
consideration.
“Atlanta’s claim as a reserve city,”
nald Senator Smith, “should meet
with instant approval. It dominates
the entire country along the eastern
seaboard up to North Carolina: west
into Tennessee, and along the gulf to
the West Alabama boundary line. Its
growing ocean trade with New Eng
land and with the South American
countries makes it a desirable locality
for a regional reserve city.”
With the intention of completing Its
work before President Wilson returns
t. the Capital, the organization com
mittee of the new currency system,
comprising Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston, began work in earnest to
day.
It is planned to hurry the organi
zation of the new system, that the
Chief Executive can name the mem
bers of the Federal Reserve Board
and have their duties ready for them
as soon as they are confirmed by the
Senate.
The Secretaries are considering a
plan to visit personally the cities
which present their claims for selec
tion for the regional reserve banks
and make an investigation of these
claims before deciding where the
banks shall be located.
Applications of banks to enter the
new system are reaching the Treas
ury by the score dally. Most of them
are from smaller cities.
New Crematory Is
Offered Formally
To City for a Test
The City Board of Health has re
ceived a letter from the Destructor
Company of New York formally sub
mitting the new crematory to the city
for an official test. The letter Is
taken to mean that the company
wants the $135,000 due on the plant
Included In the new budget which
will be made up In January.
Councilman Claude L. Ashley and
Mayor Woodward held a conference
over 11k proposition Friday. It was
the expressed belief of both that the
plant would not come, up to specifi
cations. Councilman Ashley said he
had seen the plant Friday and that
it was working badly.
Unless it uoe® come up to specifi
cations, Mayor Woodward said there
was no chance of his approving any
further payment on it.

Council Seeks Secret
Caucus to End Fight
For ‘Pro Tem’ Place
With no settlement of the contest
between Alderman I. N. Ragsdale and
Alderman J. R. Nutting for Mayor
Pro Tem in sight, members of Coun
cil Friday endeavored to get both
candidates to consent to a secret cau
cus. The plan would enable members
who are friendly to both candidates
to avoid the embarrassment of voting
in the open.
The race seems to be a tie, al
though both candidates claim suffi
cient support for election.
Friends of Alderman Ragsdale as
sert they will consent to a caucus
provided Alderman Nutting will agree
to relieve all members of pledges. A
large majority of the members of
Council are pledged to one or the
other.
Should the issue come to an open
vote and be a tie Mayor Woodward
would have to cast the deciding bal
lot. He has so far refused to take
any part in the fight.
