CAR SHORTAGE SERIOUS
MATTER, SAYS. FAIRBANKS
spEcIAL DISPATCH To THE oALL

WASHINGTON. March 25. - Vice
President Fairbanks, fresh-faced and
straight as a ramrod, visited the White
House today and chatted quite a while
with the President. After he had left
Roosevelt he talked with the corre-
spondents. Some one asked him about
the railroad situation and he said:
The car shortage is very bad. I have been
through the Middle West during the last few
days and conditions could hardly be worse In
places where cars are not needed they are piled
IN while other sections which are demanding
cars TO move produce and manufactured goods
cannot get them. Something Is decidedly wrong.

An Interesting Case.

That is a weird and pathetically tragic
story that comes from the beautiful little
Georgia town of La Grange Within the
sound of the laughter and song incident
10 the wedding of a sister, a bright and
promising young Georgian, scion of one
of the oldest, prOudest, and most aristo-
cratic families in the South Is shot down
for an offeuse personal in its nature, but
seemingly inadequate for a just defense,
by a grandson Of the greatest Georgian
who ever sat in the Senate Of the United
States.
Briefly. the story is this: Young Harvey
Hill, of Atlanta, grandson Of the famous
Senator Benjamin Hin had been very at
tentiye 10 the younger sister Of DR.. Frank
Ridley, Of Ia Grange. For some reason
the engagement Of the young people was
opposed by the Ridleys young Hiu being
denied the house. ~ the wedding Of an
other of DR.. Ridley's sisters. both Miss
Ridley and Mr.. Hill were present Prone
ever 20 laugh at locksmiths. Love laughed
as usual in this case and young Miss
Ridley ana Mr.. Hill engaged in converse
ton After the ceremony uniting the
hearts and hands Of the bride and groom,
Ridley and Hill had some words on the
veranda Of the Ridley home During the
progress Of the quarrel Ridley knocked
Hill down. Hill arose, pulled his pistol
and shot the doctor.

Tense in this case II is probable that

il will be incumbent upon the State 10

PENDANT is the son OF Solicitor General
Charles d. Hill. of the Atlanta circuit.
Superior courts OF Georgia. who is con-
ceded 20 be one Of the greatest, If not the
very. greatest. prosecuting attorneys in
the South. If the State attempts 10 break
down the probable plea Of self-defense by
contending that young Ridley had the
right to knock Hill down fin the first
place for offensive attention 10 his sister.
and that, therefore, no plea of self
defense can stand, viii the State not have
to invoke the so-called "unwritten law"
in order 10 make its contention stand
In that event, we should behold the re-
markabIe spectacle Of the State relying
upon the very line Of argument that it has
had to condemn SO persistentIy. And what
viii the jury say about it? How viii the
jury view the ''unwritten law from the
other point2
If Hill had the right 10 kill Ridley i'm
after he had been knocked
down. and 10 prevent further violence. all
well and good. But If Ridley had the
right, under the 'unwritten law" not
only 10 knock Hill down, but 10 have
killed him, for offensive attention 10 Miss
Ridley. what becomes Of HIS plea? All
IN all. il seems that the courts and juries
Of Georgia are going to have an excellent
10 give expression to some
interesting decisions in this case.

have good judges; that is a matter Of
course. but we must also have good men

The fact Of the case is that if We could
get laws made which were perfectly

would be in great degree seIf-inter-

for those dangerous "unwritten princi-
