CALVE GETS A HAIRCUT
IN A BARBER'S CHAIR

ATLANTA, Jan. 2s-Atlantans were
treated to a mild sensation when Nine
Calve left her private car at the union
station, threaded her way through sand,
rubbish and watery spots and entering
the Kimball House barber shop. climbed
into the chair of J. V. Geno. the head

the proper method of trimming her locks.
For twenty minutes the astonished bar
Der worked on her hair under her direc-
tions doing little trimming around the
ears and exerting all his efforts to please
the most distinguished patron that ever
graced his chair.
Many Of the male patrons in the shop
had an unaccountable desire to see what
kind of weather was reigning on the out
side all of which necessitated passing Of
the chair.
When the task was completed Geno's
fair customer climbed out of the chair,
carefully replaced her hat and veil, paid
So cents and walked back to her car.

MRS. DETSCH WOULD
CONTEST DIVORCE SUIT

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29.-It is now
declared that Mrs. Andrew Jackson
Detsch, Jr.. intends to fight any di-
vorce proceedings that her husband
may be contemplating. This an
nouncement caused no surprise to her
friends Ever since Detsch was ac-
quilted of the murder of Harry Ferree,
the wife has refused to comment on the
case. She often intimated, however,
that her husband would not divorce
her with her consent, and it looks now
as though she is going to back up her
assertion.
According to a woman who lives
with Mrs. Detsch at 1910 North Twen-

been ignored by her husband, has en-
gagged a lawyer 20 look after her in

for Mrs. Detsch, declined to let any
person see her. nor would she tell the

Mr.. Moesley recently bought his son

home a lad threw a brick at him. The

MANY DOGS
ARE MISSING

That dogs are becoming mollycoddles Is
more than ever evident in the fact that
there are more dog owners looking for
dogs, lost strayed, or stolen. at this time
than ever before. Dogs have succumbed
because Of mutton headedness and graft
to such an extent that fanciers have lost
all hope for their regeneracy and already
see the end of the New York police de-
partments endeavor to employ police
dogs.
The number Of advertisements in the
newspapers for lost dogs is surprising
And in nearly every instance these lads"
are not for guileless pups or for the ordi-
nary denizens of dogdom, but for the
members Of the dog 100" the tagged

desirable citizens Of the. dog world
Anybody who remembers the high
spirited dogs Of former days-the one, for
instance, who used to go swimming with
you and chase skunks on the old farm
could never have dreamed that dogs could
have ever descended so sadly.
An illustration Of the degeneracy Of
dogs to-day is the case of collie be-
longing to William Crozier, Of No. SIC
West Fifth street. The collie wandered
away from home last week and has just
been found in a most questionable resort

grinder who persisted in playing before
the house last summer.
These two instances are but representa-
tive of the many cases of lack of "horse

BRYAN FOR
ROOSEVELT IDEAS
Wants Democratic Party to
Follow Line Laid Out
by the President

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-The Demo-
cratic platform will declare for the
Roosevelt policies. II Mr.. Bryan has his
way. AT Senator Newland's dinner
last night Mr.. Bryan explained his de-
sire that the national campaign be
fought out entirely on that line.
Mr.. Bryan's idea is that the party
should make no charge that Mr.. Roose-
welt stole its policies. That has long
been maintained by the Bryanltes, bu.
Mr.. Bryan does not propose 10 insist
upon it, regarding such an attitude as
peanut politics.
Mr.. Bryan said to the Democratic
Senators that whether or not Taft IS
nominated "the interests" will control
the Republican party and dictate It's
campaign He asserted that Il is be-
coming every day clearer, especially in
the attitude OF the Senate toward Mr..
Roosevelt, that the President does not
represent the controlling interests in
the Republican party Therefore. Mr..
Bryan argued, whatever IS IN the m-
terest Of the people in the Roosevelt
program must be gained through Tho
Democratic arty or not at all.

admiration for President Roosevelt has
been unconcealed. He has delivered IN
private some Of the strongest eulogies
Of the President ever heard from any
one. Whatee<e jealousy may have bean
apparent when he was here three years
ago has disappeared and his enthus-
iasm for Roosevelt Is unstinted and
open.
When he talked along this line Mon
day night TO the Democratic Senators
he faced an audience not exactly
friendly Many of the guests had
come prepared to hear him insist on
himself and his policies. Senators
Clay and Daniel had openly proclaimed
their intention to take up the cudgels
against him. All. however. were captl-
waited by the form in which he pre-
sented his scheme. even the most
truculent being reduced to silence. Al
the finish he had the unstintedg admira-
ton of practically every man to whom
he spoke. and the same was true last
night.
1t was all due 70 his eloquent adj
vocacy, not of his own ideas, but of
Roosevelts. Not word did he say
about government ownership or the
| initiative and referendum Everything
was on this line. although these ar'
not Mr.. Brvan's exact words:

REPLIES TO HIS CRITICS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29-"In every
measure taken the secretary felt that
he was bound to have regard not
simply to the operations Of the treasury
but to their effects upon the financial
condition of the country. The present
head of the department has not as
sumed this obligation willingly and
would be glad to be relieved of it, at
least in part. by suitable legislation. ="
In these words of Secretary of the
Treasury Cortelyou, responding to-day
to the Senate resolutions of inquiry,
concludes a 5000 word statement Of
justification for the radical methods he
employed in meeting the recent finan-
cial panic, and which have been criti-
cised by the leaders of the minority
party.
In review Of the financial situation
since last spring, when he first started
to meet a perceptible shrinkage in the
currency, by public deposits, Secretary
Cortelyou, in effect. claims for his ad-
ministration full credit for preventing
a disastrous panic. ''The issue of new

the conclusion that it was advisable to
take some strong and resolute step
