The face at the window was not like

Novelties

Fannie Hurst and her spouse are real
artists, her art taking the form of ltera-
ture and his that of music. Artists are
different from other people. The intense
concentration of their minds and the very
keenness of the mental eye which they
must cultivate, produce nerves." some
times called temperament. This has re-
suited too frequently in matrimonial
shipwreck, to avoid which this couple
evolved their singular arrangement.
Her ability to write, her perfect insight
on life, her mastery of realism and human
interest; her selection of themes from the
lowly, struggling, problem-beset realm of
humanity, make her comparable to but
one other author-she is the O. Henry
of her sex.

MANGET SHOWS
UP ATLANTA ON
LIQUOR LICENSE

ATLANTA, May 10. = The Com
mission on Civics of the Christian
Council of Atlanta, through John A.
Manget, chairman, is out in state
ment, complaining of the laxity of
the Judges in handling violaters Of
the prohibition law. Figures are cited
from the City Court of Atlanta where
ont out Of 119 convictions only six
of the offenders were sentenced to
the chaingang, while the average
fines imposed amounted to only
$44.53 each. The report after CIV
ing the figures of fines and convic-
tions says:
"At the last session of the Musco-
gee county grand jury presentment2
were drawn showing that it was the
sense of that body that the courts
placing fines on the bootleggers were
acting against the best interest of
the community and urged chaingang
sentences. At this same session of
the court in Columbus 81 violators
of the prohibition law out of total
of I03 cases were sent to the chain
gang. In Fulton the records show
that only 6 out of 119 were sent to
the changing.
what does Atlanta and Fulton
county propose to do about the
wholesale flouting of the prohibition
law and the license system in vogue?"

LUKEFAVORED
FOR JUDCESHIP
Likely To Succeed Judge Evans
If Democrat Gets Place,
Is Report

ATLANTA, May 10.-Judge Ros-
coe Luke, of the State Court of APP
peals, is looming on the horizon as the
most probable successor of Judge
Beverly D. Evans. 1t is understood
that he is held in high favor by the
department of justice and that if a
democrat is named to the position he
will be the man appointed. Under
the act creating the court of the
Southern district of Georgia, the
judge appointed by the president
must live in that districtfl This fea-
ture will eliminate w. j. Tilson, well
known republican attorney in Atlanta
from consideration.
There has been great deal of
talk about Charles Akerman, of Ma
con, former assistant district attor-
ney. He is a prominent republican,
but republican leaders say that he
would be eliminated because of the
fact that his brother, Walter Aker-
man, of Cartersville, has been ap-
pointed United States marshal of the
Northern district and that the presi-
dent would not appoint him on that
account.
Judge Luke comes from Thomas
vile and before going on the appel
late bench enjoyed a statewide rep
utation as a lawyer. He has made
a splendid record on the bench and it
is believed that his appointment
would meet with widespread favor
thrnughont the district and state.

ATLANTA, May 10.-News re-
ceived in Atlanta from Washington
report challenge in writing to Unit
ed State Senator Watson, of Georgia,
to meet him "alone in room" was
issued by Thos. B. Fielder, now OF
New York, who was attacked in the
United States senate by Senator
Watson in connection with the par
don procured from President Taft IN
behalf of Charles w. Morse. Colonel
Fielder, formerly of Georgia, is OF
slight build and in his fifty-eighth
year. The senator from Georgia is
65 years old.
The challenge to settle the matter
as between man and man, was pro
voked by the assertion Of Senator
Watson that he had denounced Col
onel Fielder to- his face and that the
latter had swallowed it meekly. Col
mel Fielder also resented vehemently
the charge that he was "a lobbyist,
not a lawyer"
Colonel Fielder also wrote to Sen
ator Caraway of Arkansas, denying
that Attorney General Harry M.
Daugherty had any connection with
the Morse case. The reply and chal-
lenge of Colonel Fielder TO Senator
Watson follows: ..
Thomas E. Watson is so we'll
known sas a common liar that 1t is
hardly worth while to notice any
thing he could say.
Hiding behind his position on the
floor of the senate, ne uttered a
cowardly slander with reference to
me. His claim that he ever used
used such language to my face is alb
surdly false. He is clustering cow
ard as well as a common liar, and
nothing could induce him to use lam
guage of that character to any one
face to face If he thinks himself
serious, | would be glad to meet him
alone in a room agreed upon and
talk the matter over. / make this
suggestion hopefully, but without
confidence that the dirty coward will
accept"
Fielder to Caraway.
The letter of Colonel Fielder to
Senator Caraway follows:
"Hon. T. H. Caraway, United
States Senate, Washington, D. c.
Dear Sir: 1t is inconceivable to
me that senator who fairly repre-
sents the people of the great State
of Arkansas, could under even the
temptation Of partisan politics assail
a distinguished member of the off
cial family of the president Of the
United States. The statement made
ty you that Charles W. Morse, ever
at any time or under any circumstan-
ees, paid Hon. Harry NJ. Daugherty
$4,000 to get him out of the peni-
%ntiary is absolutely without any
foundation in fact.

How Pardon Was Obtained.
AS to the manner in which the
Morse pardon was obtained Colonel
Fielder said:
"Mr. Wickersham, the attorney
general, sent to the City of Atlanta,
either three or five of the most emf
nent surgeons and doctors represent
ing both the army and the navy. They
spent two or three days there watch
ing Morse and examining him. They
returned to Washington, made re-
port that he would not last thirty
days if kept in the penitentiary, and
he was pardoned upon recommended
tion of the physicians and surgeons
of the United States army and navy.
He went abroad, and was gone for
months, under treatment of the most
eminent kidney specialists Of Europe,
taking the baths and so forth. He is
still living but my information is that
he is still troubled with kidney dis
ease"
Colonel Fielder said that he had
declined to represent Morse in his
present difficulties.
