JUDGE ATKINSON HAS
TROUBLES WITH FISH

ACWORTH. Ca, May 12.-Judge At
hnson of the supreme court, Atlanta dig
trict. is a born sportsman. He delights
to hunt and fish.
The judge built fish pond near Mari
eta and about two years ago filed an
application with the United tSates fish
cries department. for 100 baby Dream with
which to stock his pond. He received an
swer that his application had been filed
and that he would receive the Dream
in a year and half. That did not mean
fish for breakfast right away, but the
judge waited with gentle patience for
that long time to pass.
The year and half passed and instead
of the fish came a notice. two weeks
ago. that Uncle Sam was Just out" and
would have some more fish next year.
The judge Immediately cut the dam to
his pond and drained out all the water.
and as the last of the fish pond passed
from sight he received a notice to go to
Smyrna TO meet the fish.
Judge Atkinson was then in a guam
dairy, but decided to appeal to cap" JOY
ner. who has a country home nearby, for
relief The captain arranged TO place the
highly priced government baby FISH in
his own pond until the Judge can get
nam up another fish pond.

So Declares John Hays Ham
mOnd After Red Hot Row
in Examiners Court
(By Associated Press. )

WASHINGTON, May 1S-After the lie
had been passed today to John Hays
Hammond, special ambassador from the
United States to the coronation of King
George, Of England. in the proceedings
over the Doremus cotton gin patent case,
Mr.. Hammond angrily left the exam
iner's room, declaring that. unless order
ed by the court, he would not answer any
more questions of John c. Gillings, at
torney for Daniel sully. who brought the
suit.
Mr. Hammond declared. in response to
Mr. Gillings' remark that he was not
answering questions directly, that it
seemed to him an effort was being made
to prolong the hearing so as to keep
him away from the coronation. Mr.. GIL
lings then told him that he did not care
where he went.
Mr.. Hammond will leave for Canada to-
morrow, it was stated by his attorney
tonight. in preparation for his departure
for England. This he will do in spite of
the fact that a subpoena was served on
him late today to appear again next
Wednesday before Examiner Harper,
who Is taking testimony for the court In
the case. His attorney explained, how
ever, that in their opinion this cannot be
construed as contempt of court. as the
subpoena was not issued directly by the
court.
