JUDGE AB ACTS THE ROLE OF WARWICK, THE kINGMAKER IN SETTLING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A NEGRO SHEPHERD AND HIS FLOCK
By CHARLES II. MANDY

There is no more familiar Biblical story than that of the wisest of kings who was called upon to decide the ques ton of the dead and living child.
 In his decision the said king set aside the laws of the scribes and the prophets and made law unto himself which of course, was the prerogatve of the rulers of those ancient days. He passed up precedents and the edicts of the law givers for in his wisdom he saw a better method, that of sounding the depth of the maternal heart and affection. It Is recorded in Holy Writ that this judg ment made him renowned. All of which is merely preliminary to this article and has but little to do with the story.> It is left to the reader to draw his own conclusions. There Is not a more widely known jurist in the county than Judge H. B. Aber- nethy of the court of common pleas. and 1t is safe to say there is not jurst in the state that is better informed as to the methods of the criminal element than Is Judge Ab For years he has been deal ing with the criminal and crminally in-
 
 less character in manner that is almost uneanny. In addition. he has a great capacity for work and 1t is a rare occa- sion that Judge Alb is absent from the bench. His court is kept open six days in week and 52 weeks in the year and the amount of business transacted Is re- marlSable.
 In addition to the main cases settled | by court procedure, Judge Alb is often called up to act as arbitrator in dis- putes that might lead to lengthy and ex- pensive litigation, and 1t is rare indeed that his decisions in these cases are not abided by.
 For Instance, the other day delegation of the officers and members of a negro church called upon Judge Alb and asked him to act as a mediator.
 It seems they were at outs with their 'shepherd,' who, they contended was in- competent and much too fond of the so- ciety of the female members of his flock

 In addition to the attendance the rall- road way, wagons. buggies and saddle horses are seen under the shade of tho trees, where the horses and mules amuse themselves nibhlng at the grass and weeds, While the crowd Is happy and soeial there is a profound interest in the religious feature.

POLICE EXPERIENCE VERY BUSY SUNDAY Many Negroes Arrested On Various Minor Charges
 During Day

Yesterday was the busiest Sunday In police circles since the first of the year. The patrols were going continuously from early morn until a late hour last night. Outside of two cutting scrapes among the blacks, none of the offenses was of a serious nature. Most of those who be- came enmeshed in the web of the law have the charges of drunk or "disor- derly' opposite their names on the docket.
 In all, there were over 100 arrested, most of them being negroes. Apparently every one of the negroes arrested pur- chased bottle of gin Saturday night before going home. Most of them pro- ceeded to drink 1t up yesterday and came to woe as the result. Extra officers had to be detailed on some of the downtown beats Saturday on account of the un- ruly crowds. The negroes on First ave- nue, between Eighteenth and Nineteenth streets became so hilarious that Chief Eagan detailed two extra men to work on this block.
 Policeman Chauffeur Burgess. who works on the night shift, had the motor of the patrol running continuously for five hours Warden Glover had to call for help on account of the numerous guests whom he had to register at the city "hotel." Bondsmen, friends and loafers infested the alley Just outside of the jail and called for bonds for the prisoners who were lucky enough to have someone to get them out.
 The police expect tonight and Tuesday night to be busy ones, these two nights being the last for the thirsty ones. It Is understood that the saloons will practi- oally close on Tuesday night instead of on Wednesday, so that they can dispose of their stock before II o'clock on the night of the 30th. According to the law any man who has more than two quarts of liquor and half cask of beer in his home after the night of the 3Oth is liable to arrest

HENDERSON HERE: |. AFTER HARD TRIP
 IN RAIN BY MOTOR
Governor Declines to Com ment on Georgia Situa- tiOn-Spends Today In
 Birmingham

The nervous state of Georgia incident to the committing by ex-Governor slaton of the sentence imposed on Leo Frank for the murder of Mary Phagan, was a subject Governor Henderson declined to discuss last night.
 The governor and Mrs. Henderson, to- eether with MT. and Mrs. Richard W. w. Massey and party, reached Birmlng- ham last night after having driven Tn automobiles over the Dixie highway. and were entertained at dinner by Mr. Mas sey at the Birmingham Newspaper club. The chief executive will spend today in Birmingham. and return to Montgomery tomorrow.
 The situation in Georgia Is Georgia s problem, according to the governor It is known that he declined some weeks ago to act on the request of interested parties that he urge the communication of the sentence of Frank. At that time he declined to take part in the Georgia case. and he proved himself consistent in his attitude when he declined last night to discuss the action of ex-Governor Slaton.
 We had n delightful trip" said the governor. 'Mr and Mrs. Massey, Mrs. Henderson and I, together with a num- ber of intimate Friends, left Montgomery several days ago. motored to Columbus. then to Chattanooga then to Atlanta to Rome, to Gadsden and Birmrngnam.
 ''The roads were good until We left Gadsden this afternoon for Birmingham. From that time. however, until our ar rival we were up against it.. It required five hours for us to make the trip. We feel. however, amply repaid. in that we are in Birmingham, and have just en- joyed a delightful dinner at this beauti- full club"
 Regarding the work of the legislative recess committees and the probable ac- ton of the legislature when it recon venes next month, the governor declared that he would prefer not to make state ment for the press.

DAMAGE IS SLIGHT
 AT HOSPITAL FIRE Excitement Is Caused By Smoke at Tennessee COm-
 pany Hospital

Much excitement was caused early yes terday morning by a fire at the hospital of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company at Ensley. There were 14 pa tients in the hospital at the time, and all were removed to the street by the firemen, physicians, nurses and a number of volunteers. Several suffered from the effects of smoke, but there were no seri- ous results
 The fire originated in the basement, pre- sumably by a crossed electric wire. It was confined between the walls and in a few minutes after it was discovered by the night nurse the hospital was filled with smoke.
 The fire departments of Ensley, Fair view and Pratt City responded to the alarm. The Ensley department was the first on the scene and by the time 1t ar rived dense volumes of smoke were roll ing from the hospital, which made the rescue work somewhat difficult. But un- der the direction and assistance of the resident physicians and nurses aff the patients were removed from the build ing without mishap. John Nagley, vol unteer, rescued, unaided, a man with a broken leg.
 The fire was quickly subdued and as soon as possible the patients were placed back in the hospital. Several of the pa tients suffered from the excitement for the time being, but serious conse- quences are anticipated The fire was dis covered about o'clock by Miss May Rowan, night nurse. Dill Duruen, one of the Ensley firemen, was overcome by smoke and had to be carried out of the building. Dr. Robert Hogan, resident physician, rendered vaiient service in di recting and aiding in the rescue work The members of the Ensley fire depart ment were highly commended for their quick response and efficient rescue work The other two departments were also quickly on the scene, considering the distance they had to run. At d late hour all the patients at the hospital were rest ing well and had apparently overcome the excitement.
 The Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad hospital was formerly known as the Gun ningham hospital and is located on Ave- nue r and Eighteenth street. It is said to be one of the best equipped hospitals in the district. It's patients are limited to the employees of the Tennessee com- pany.' While the full extent of the dam- age is not yet known, it is estimated that it will be comparatively small.
