Winbish to Battle Railways Legal Array
FIGHTS RATE WAR AL ONE

William A. Wimbish the famous At
lanta rate expert lawyer, will have per
haps the hardest battle of his career in
the Birmingham courts next week when
he goes to prove for the shippers of the
ore fields that the freight rate on pig
iron between Birmingham and the
Ohio river is discriminatory and un-
just. For he will fight single handed
against the long array of counsel re-
tanned by dozen roads.
II he wins his case, it will not be
the first time one lawyer has defeated
a score. Herbert S. Hadey, now gov
ernor of Missouri, fought, unaided
against a brilliant array of the ma
tons best counsel in the noted Stand
ard Oil case and won. And Mr.. VIM
bish is not afraid.
Mr.. Wimbish is recognized as one OF
the greatest rate experts in the coun-
try. The tariffs of a hundred railroads
are as familiar to him as the alphabet
He has fought railroad rates from Sa -
vannah to Duluth, on every commodity
from stoves to wheat And usually he
has won his point
Roads Have Carloads of Evidence"
1t will be fight of fights. The evil
dence that will be offered, both on the
part of plaintiffs and defendants, but
mainly on the part of the latter, will
be more voluminous, technical and his
torical than In any previous fight of its
kind, it is said.
The Louisville and Nashville rail-
road has more evidence to offer than
any of the other roads, it is said, be-
cause that line is affected more than
any other one by the case. 1t is whls-
pered that the evidence will be shipped
to Birmingham by the carload.
For several weeks lately, more than
a dozen rate men Of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad have been in Bir-
mingham gathering data from the
Southern iron committee, in the Cham
Der of Commerce building. This will
be used at the hearing. In all, an
army of railroad men has been en-
ployed in gathering evidence for the
hearing. And this is what Mr.. VIM
bish will face next Monday.
Wimbish Equal to Task.
Those who know Mr. Wimbish say
he is fully equal to the task. He is a
rate expert and interstate commerce
lawyer of wide reputation. He is a
middle sized, middle aged man, with
dark hair, and very black, deep, sharp,
cleaning eyes. He is not eXcitable,
and does not depend upon effulgent,
effusive oratory to win his cases; he
presents logic and facts, coldly, calmly,
evenly. He never raises his voice and

MANY DIVORCES
LAID To SINISTER
DETECTIVES
Mrs. Hattie Barnett, Woman
SIeuth, Begins a Fight on
irresponsible Agencies.

Mrs Hattie Barnett, Atlanta'S Wom-
an detective. today announced her in
tention Of starting a fight before the
police commission against all private
detective agencies in the city. demand =
ing a thorough investigation into their
workings. and insisting that all private
detectives. men and women, he passed
ION by the commission and required to
show a clean bill of health"
Mrs Barnett declares that the law is
not being complied with by private
agencies; that women detectives are
at work here who have never been
passed on by the commission, and that
these women-and male detectives, too
are meddlng in divorce cases and
causing a lot of domestic trouble"
Mrs. Barnett cites the city ordinance
governing private agencies. which re-
quires that all employees be examined
and approved by the police commission
also rule of the commission which
expressly forbids private detectives
working on divorce cases.
To Ask Official Probe.
Mrs. Barnett says she will appear
before the commission at its next reg
ular meeting and formally make COM
plant and ask for an official probe.
"Of course, l will put myself up for
investigation along with the others
have no fears of a thorough investiga-
ton she says
AS to her charges regarding divorce
proceedings, Mrs. Barnett says:
Il am satisfied that both men and
women detectives are working on di-
vorce cases in Atlanta, and this should
certainly be stopped. Husbands and
wives are being Swallowed, insane jeal-
ousies stirred up and lot of domestic
troubles brought on. OF course, the
police commission is not responsible,
for it has done all it can-forbid such
work But if such conditions are found
to exist they should promptly be rene
died"
Chief Beavers Surprised.
When asked today concerning the
operations of private detective agen-
cies, Police Chief Beavers said that as
far as he is aware they are all COM
plying with the law and the rules of
the commission.
These agencies are all required to
comply strictly with the law, and If
they are violating it in any way, the
matter has not been brought to my at
tention," says the chief. IF any of the
agencies are working men or women
who have not been approved by the
commission they are doing it on the sly
All of their employees are supposed to
have been passed on The same thing
applies to divorce cases If private
detectives are working divorce cases
they are doing 1t under cover and most
assuredly are violating a strict rule of
the commission. They are prohibited
from Going any such work"
Mrs. Barnett, who is the only licensed
woman detective In Atlanta, asserts
that she is complying with the law in
every detail, and says her demand for
an investigation Is purely a move for a
fair deal"

never leaves the battlefield of argu-
ment; never allows his argument to
run to extraneous features. In the
Vernacular: He goes to the bottom of

While he is listening to opposing ar
sument he is as alert as a cat ready to
spring He does not sit still. and pre-
SCENTS a nervous front But it is con-
stunning eageIness. One is impressed at
glance with his earnestness of DUR

Officer at Chicago Convention.
Chicago. May 21.-Col. Harry S. New
last night announced United States
Senator El!hu Root as temporary
chairman Of the national convention.
The naming of Senator Root oc-
casioned no surprise. 1t was rumored
after the meeting Of the sub commit :
tee on arrangements last Saturday that
the temporary Craftsmanship had been
offered him. The meeting adjourned
with the announcement that the selec-
ton had been left entirely in the hands
cf Colonel New.
1t has been common gossip In politi-
cal circles that Senator Root would be
acceptable to both the Taft and the
Roosevelt forces.
II just received the acceptance OF
Senator Root" said Colonel New. when
he made the announcement. There is
nothing more that I can say"
One rumor that followed the adjourn
ment Saturday flattened out with the
announcement OF Senator Roots name.
That was that the choice would not be
made public until after the presidential
preference primary in Ohio. Roosevelt
adherents had contended,, that this
course should be followed, 1t had been
generally reported.

Washington, May 21.-Senator Stone,
of Missouri, today carried out his pur-
pose of addressing the senate on The
Modern Damon and Pythias," and cor
related subjects pertaining to current
politics.
Mr. President" he said, "any man
having even meager knowledge OF
ancient lore will recall the story OF
Damon and Pythias and the story of
David and Jonathan. A few years ago
the American people and the civilized
world were given to understand that
here in our own dear country we had
a reproduction Of these glorious tradi-
tions of the far distant past. We were
lead to believe that the combined and
consolidated spirits of Damon ana
Jonathan nai vuule out &C their haven
of rest and taken refuge In the corpus
Of Theodore Roosevelt and that the
combined spirits of David and Pythias
had In like manner come to rest on
the ample bosom Of William Howard
Taft. Thus In happy conjunction both
of these old stories of ancient lore and
love were reproduced here in this new
world OF ours for the edification and
uplifting OF the human race"
Senator Stone amid laughter said It
had been q case Of two souls with but
q single thought; two hearts that beat
as one" until "the Shiny and poisonous
serpent of ambition crawled across the
path they were walking and divided
them. Both had tasted the bitter sweets
of power and liked it overmuch. Both
were tempted and both fell.'
80 instead Of peace we have had
war;" the senator continued, war with
knives, and knives to the .hilt. AS q
consequence of this ferocious contest
| the country and the world have been
! treated to a series Of spectacular vau-
deville stunts in politics without
parallel in the history Of our country
and which I sincerely hope will not be
| again repeated"
Senator Stone referred to Senator
I1aTollette's participation in the cam
paign and continues:
"Mr President passing over the per-
sonal and party aspects Of this miser- :
able sQuabble Is it not truly sad
spectacle we are Witnessing? These

Rioheson's body will be taken back
to his OLD home in Virginia If his
wishes are carried out and will be bur-
led in the little cemetery at Amherst
court house. The last words as the
body is committed to the grave will be
said by Rev. Herbert s. Johnson. or
Boston, who acted as Richeson's spir-
itual advisor, after he was taken to
the death house. One Of the last re-
quests made by Richeson was that Mr.
Johnson accompany the body to Vir-
ginia. Mr.. johnson also will carry
messages from the executed murderer
to his relatives.
Richeson left no will but in conver-
sations with Mr.. johnson and William

preceding his death, he gave directions
as to the disposition Of his personal
effects. His library Richeson left to
clerical friends.
Execution Successful.
The execution of Richeson is said by
witnesses to have been the most sue
cessful Of any Of the fourteen that
have been held at the state prison
since the electric chair was adopted.

not be able to stand the Anal strain,

execution chamber his steps did not

his spiritual advisors calmly.
