Atlanta Woman Detective Chief
Signs as Cupid DepeItes
Her Force.

When a fatal love dart plowed its
way into the heart of Miss Minnie Lee
Lane, girl detective, it killed the lure
of sleuthing, causing her at the cru
cial moment to abandon a spectacular
pursuit of a woman shoplifter and al
low the quarry to escape.
But today Miss Lane doesn't care the
snap, of finger if she did, for the girl
detective was welded last night to W.
F. Freeman, bookkeeper in the offices
of the Southern railWay-the man who
came between her and her chosen life
profession. She has entered into the
game of matrimony with greater en-
thusiasm than she ever experienced in
tracking evil doors.
The call of the heart is stronger
than the fascination of sleuthing, and
I've quit for good and all-the quiet
homelife and the frying pan appeal to
me now as never before" laughingly re-
marked the bride today.
Charm of Chase EcIipsed.
Miss Lane and Mr.. Freeman met
short time ago in nearby town, while
the giEl detective was Swallowing" a
woman shoplifter, and it was severe
and incurable attack of love at first
sight The charm of the chase imme
diately vanished, and a new vision
opened before the "shadower"-love de-
throned her professional ambition.
Packing her suitcase, Miss Lane
abandoned the trail of the shoplifter,
and boarded fast train for Atlanta.
She at once reported to Mrs. Hattie
Barnett, Atlantas woman detective, un-
der whom she has been in training, that
she was in love, that the Jig was up"
and that. instead of-seeking shoplift-
ers and crooks, she intended to enjoy
a new happiness of heart.
That she. meant just what she said
was demonstrated last night When just
at the close of the evening service, Miss
Lane and Mr.. Freeman stood before the
altar in the Central Baptist church and
were married by Rev. Richard A. For
est, superintendent of the Toccoa Falls
institute. who is filing the pulpit in the
absence of the pastor, DR.. Ridley.
Life Shadow" Now.
As the wedding party left the church,
the bride smiled on the bridegroom and
said;
1--WE got someone else to watch now.
[ guess I've become life shadow"
That's right, I'll have an eagle eye
on me all the time now" chuckled the
bridegroom. but l think I'll like the
sensation"
Mrs Barnett. Miss Lanes tutor is
tho only one of her friends who feels a
pang of regret at the marriage.
Love is the arch enemy of the Wom-
an detective business" remarked Mrs.
Barnett disconsolately. Whenever love
crosses the path of woman detective
it's all off. Business goes to the winds.
That's why there are no more women
detectives. They can't resist the plead
ings of the heart"

NATION CAN'T EXIST
WITHOUT CHRISTIAN
SPIRIT, SAYS HILL

WARREN, MINI. Dec. 9.-"No ma
ton can exist without true Christian
spirit behind it," declared James j. Hill,
the pioneer railway magnate of the
Northwest, in a speech delivered at the
dedication of the new $4,000 building
for North Star college.
A large crowd was present for the
exercises. which took place last night,
and Mr.. Hill delivered the principal adj
dress, which partook of the nature of a
sermon.
He told the story Of the creation, and
delivered strong arguments in favor of
Christianity. Mr. Hill concluded by de-
claring that laws which forbid the
teaching of Christianity in schools are
the weakest things in our government
He declared he hoped to live to see
the decalogue in every school room.

tie attention to the prohibition laws OF
Georgia, and that shipments OF "booze
from that city to other points in crea-
ton are not infrequent, and around
and about Christmas times some ship
ments, at that!
The effect of this revelation on Jack
sonville has been marked-in two di-
rections. 1t RACES that Savannah IS
cutting into Jacksonville's\ business in
that fashion, and it grieves that Savan-
nah is not a law-abiding town.
Wherefore divers and sundry citizens
of Jacksonville have petitioned the
Federal authorities-or say they are
going to petition them-to make Sa-
vannah behave herself, both in her
loose methods of competition in the
booze" business and in her morals.
The Savannah News, regarding Jack
sonvilles attitude more or less face
tiously says:
If the petition of the Jackson
vile dealers to stop shipments of
liquor from points in Georgia
should be granted perhaps this in
turn might be followed by Federal
lSSlSldIlOl pFOnlDltlnB SnlpIneIlS
of intoxicating liquor into Georgia.
Then if the legislature should re-
peal the near beer law this good
old state would be squarely on the
water wagon. And the season for
cane and persimmon.beer will soon
be over.
Jacksonville's deep solicitude for Sa-
vannah is touching enough, to be sure
even if Savannah does effect to smile
and smile, and be a villain still"
1t is doubtful however, whether the
Georgia Legislature will accept Savan-
nah's half whimsical, half bantering,
hint. contained in next to the last SEN
tence of The News paragraph quoted
Robert M. Hitch, of the Second con
gressional district, has let 1t be known
to numerous friends that he will be ar

WEALTHY VICTIMS OF
BOOK FRAUDS TO TELL
OF SWINDLE IN COURT

BOSTON, Dec. s.-Rich victims of
de luxe book and art works frauds,
which are being investigated by the
New England and Federal authorities,
will have to appear before a Federal
judge and tell how easily they were
swindled. Further investigation today
revealed that the art shapers secured
SS06,000 from u known victims. OF
these, thirteen were women, who lost
100000, and the other eight were men
who were mulcted of $406,000, the in
vestigation showing apparently that
the men were more gullible than the
women.

backing for the job, which is now held
by Walter Alderman, of Macon
Some statesmen in Georgia are be-
ginning to think that instead of Great
ing new counties in this state here
after, the legislature might better COM
bine some of the smaller ones, and thus
reduce the total number, rather than
enlarge it, as has been the custom OF
late years
There are in Georgia fifteen counties
of less than 200 square miles in area
Four of these actually are under $50
square miles. Glascock, the smallest
county in the state, is less than 100.
Alabama limits the size of its coun-
ties-and there, no matter how few
counties the state may contain, it can
never run over fixed maximum.
A great many citizens think small
er and not a larger, Legislature would
work to this states very material bene-
fit.
