WOMAN TO Hunt BURGLARS.
She Has Been Made a Regular Member
OF Atlants's Detective Force.

ATLANTA, Feb. lO.-Hereafter a woman
sleuth will be one Of the features of the
detective department Of Atlanta The
Police Commission to-day made Mrs.
Hattie Barnett a member Of the detective
force, and she will begin her duties at
once. Mrs. Barnett is a pretty widow,
about 30 years Old and has been success
fully doing detective work for some time.
The commission was moved to choose
Mrs. Barnett because it is believed that
many Of the robberes in Atlanta are the
work of women, and it is thought female
detective might be more successful in
these cases than a man.
Mrs. Barpett explained that she has
never acted as a detective in domestic
troubles, because her chief aim next to
helping people who came to her is to keep
her work on tho square. Il try to keep
my conscience as clear as any minister's

Mrs. Barnett says women are commit

will capture them. She said: @There are

GIRL STATION AGENT ROBBED.
Three Italians With Guns Raid ID. n. r.
station at 10th ~. and Fifth Ave.

Miss Grace West. the twenty-year-o old
ticket agent at the Brooklyn Rapid Tran
ait station at Twentieth street on the
Fifth avenue elevated line. was held up
at the point of revolvers at 1890 o'clock
this morning by three Italians who got
away with two bags containing s27 and
SIS and the nights receipts. amounting
to about $40.
The yodng woman grabbed her own
revolver when the men broke the chain
on the door. leading to her cage. but seeing
that she was covered by three guns. she
gave ii up on demand. After taking the
money. the men cut the telephone wire
leading to the company's Office and told
her that IL she made assound for five
minutes she would be sorry: Then they
ran away.
When she recovered from her fright,
Miss West ran out and screamed for help
ON the station platform. Policeman Fitz-
gerald OF the Fifth avenue station heard
her and gave the alarm at his station
house. Capt. Murphy sent out nearly
all the reserves in plain clothes TO hunt
the Italian settlement in that
neighborhood, but there was little chance
that they would find the robbers.
Several similar holdups have occurred
at stations of the B. r. T. One OF them

acceptable to Democratic Senators.
lt Is the view OF the Senate leaders
on both sides Q; the chamber that the
Hale bill provides a strictly legal and
equitable solution OF the dificulty. The

Is not measure for circumventing a pro-
vision OF the Constitution. but simply Of
amending an act OF Congress. 1t is held
that there 10 nothing in this bill which
con be regarded as an unfair means OF
defeating a constitutional provision and
that no violence is done to the meaning
and intent Of the trainers OF the Consti-
tuition. Lawyers in the Senate who look cd
up the matter rather hurriedly to-day
expressed the opinion that the trainers
OF the Constitution intended In the first
instance TO provide against salary abuses
which might otherwise arise from the
rapid expansion Of the new Government
at time when the lawmaking body was
numerically small and the number of
ofiiceholders and prospective officeholders
was limited to a comparatively FEW men.

among the leaders to-day that the Secre-
tary Of State under the Taft Administra-
tlon has not yet been appointed and that
in case the bill introduced by Senator
Hale becomes a law the new President
simply will have TO consider whether or
not the salary OF the head Of the State
Department has been increased during
Mr. knox's term in Congress. 1t will be
found IL the bin is passed that the salary
Is the same as it was formerly, and the
new President will then encounter no bar
rier to the appointment Of the man he de-
sires to take the State portfolio.
The programme laid out by the Senate
leaders to-day will never be carried out,
OF course. II 1t should appear thet Presi-
dent-elect Taft does not care TO have the
constitutional barrier overcome by this
measure. There is good reason to believe
that kilograms passed tonight between
Washington and New Orleans, where Mr..
Taft has just arrived from Panama, and
that the proposed solution Of the difficulty
has his cordial approval and support.
Some people are discussing already the
selection OF another man as Secretary OF
State in Mr.. Taft's Cabinet. The name
most commonly mentioned is that Of John
c. Spooner Of New York, formerly Senator
from Wisconsin. Mr.. Spooner ia repre-
sented to have said that the only Cabinet |
Office which he would accept would be that |
Of Secretary OF state. This talk about .
