PREACHER CONFERS
WITH HARTRIDGE
James Osborne Says He Is
Ready to Aid Defense
If Called In.
Newr York, Sept. 10.—Former Annie
Mnt District Attorney On borne returned
from Europe on the Atlantic transport
liner Minneapolis today and announced
that he would defend Harry K. Thaw
■ when he came to trial should the prfs
oner's present counsel call him Into
the case.
"No one has communicated with me
on the matter thus far,” said Mr. Os
borne, "but I am prepared to make the
defense In the case."
The greatest mystery was today
thrown about the visit to Harry K.
Thaw In the Tombs of the Rev. Dr.
Francis L. Patton, head of the Prlnce-
. ton Theological Seminary, and former
ty president of the University.
Dr. Patton called at the prison while
Mrs. Evelyn' Neebit Thaw was visiting
her husband. The clergyman's visit
had been expected, and after he had a
talk with Thaw In the presence of the
prisoner's wife, the latter came down
stairs with Dr. Patton and the two
drove In Mrs. Thaw's electric hansom
to the offices of Clifford W. Hartrldge,
Thaw's counsel.
Neither Dr. Patton himself nor Mrs.
Thaw, nor Attorney Hartrldge, would
explain what the purpose of the clergy
man’s visit to the Tombs was. They
all admitted It wan of considerable sig
nificance, but resolutely refused to ex
plain Its Import.
MAY A8K GOVERNOR
FOR A SPEEDY TRIAL.
New York, Sept. 10.—Conjecture was
being made by the friends of Harry
' Thaw today upon the probable effect of
an appeal by his counsel, Clifford W.
Hartrldge, to Governor Higgins,
compel the district attorney to expedite
the business of his office so as
bring Thaw to trial without further
undue delay.
Thaw fears that at least five or six
months must elapse before the defend
ants who will precede him In court face
a jury, unless the district attorney
moves with more celerity than he has
recently.

copyright cable has been received by
The Tribune:
"Tangier, Morocco, Sept. 10.—Paul
Stensland passed a quiet Sunday,
but his custodians got Into trouble
with the Moorish government. Stens
land suffered last night for lack of air
and thjs morning his old bronchial
trouble developed. We broke open the
stairway In his prison, locked up by
the chief of artillery, and moved the
prisoner to a flat roof where he en
joyed the sunshine and osone from the
sea.
"The Moorish guards, however,. re
ported to the pasha what had been
dene. The pasha kicked to Minister
of Foreign Affairs Torres, who In turn
lodger a complaint with the American
legation, saying that If Stensland was
not returned to a barred prison the
Moorish guard would be withdrawn.
"The roof garden was closed Immedl
ately and Stensland spent the morning
with us moralising on the various Chi
cago banks. Some, doubtless, would
have been Interested In Ills discourse.
"Stensland'a Idea of a modern bank
Is one run by a hired president who
could be kicked out by the directors If

Chief W. R. Joyner, now mayor-elect,
after 21 yenni of active service, will
resign hla position aa head of tha At

aa near to that date oa convenient to
the city council.
After Chief Joyner reaignx the city
council will elect another chief. This
will be done at the flret session of the
city futhers In October.
"Whq will be the next chief?" la the
question. ^
Assistant Chief Henry P. Hayne and
Iloseman William B. Cummings are
the two candidates for the position.
Both candidates have been working
since Chief Joyner first annnounced
that he would enter the mayoralty race.
Both candidates claim the majority of
councllmanlc votes.
Many rumors are afloat as to which
will get the position.
Chief Joyner states that he will not
throw his Influence either way and Is
“mum" as to which will succeed him.
It Is evident that the city council Is
divided among Itself to no little degree.
Which side will be the stronger can not
be said. It Is claimed that whut Is
known In political circles as “the Eng
lish faction" Is back of Cummings,
while Hayne Is barked by the opposi
tion.
This matter has. up to the present
time, been exceedingly quiet, but from
now on will be a lively political topic.
Both men have served the Are de
partment In nearly every rapacity up
to chief. Mr. Hayne has held the posi
tion of assistant chief for some time
and Mr. Cummings whs assistant chief
before he resigned several years ago.
He re-entered the department about
eight months ago us hoseman.

been passed up by the finance commit-
te and the city cquncll to pay salaries
of the forty additional policemen, to be
added to the force October 1. It will
take $4,500 more to defray their ex
penses. There have been several other
•mailer sums extracted from the Ex
position money and there Is now only
$11,000 left. This le the total amount
on hand tor appropriations. Mr. Pat
terson suggested that It be taken for
paving Peachtree street.
Legality Is Questioned.
When the matter wa» spoken of,
Mayor Woodward questioned the legal-
Ity of taking the money.
Alderman Qullllan asked Councilman
Patterson: "Isn't the 1910 Exposition
a dead one?”
Councilman Patterson then replied
that It was "absolutely dead.”
Mr. Patterson stated that the paving
could be accomplished thla year If the
Atlanta Railway and Light Company
would flx their tracks as soon as the
city was ready to start work.
"The $11,000 will just about pay the
city's portion of paving Peachtree from
Ellis to Sixth street, with asphalt or
from Ellis to Fourtenth street with
bltullthlc,” said Mr. Pattefaon.
It was decided that the matter should
again come up for discussion Saturday

The special session of the finance
committee was called to consider the
appropriation to the state fair which
opens October 10. Secretary Frank
Weldon, of the association, appeared
and asked for money to erect sheds
and to repair the buildings. Mr. Wel
don was asked whether or not the fair
did not have money left over from last
year. He replied that there was 19,000.
but that It was not at all certain that
such a large attendance would be at
the fair thlsiyear as last.
There Is nothing that advertises ths
city as much as tha fair." said Mr.
Weldon. "Last year It brought between
80,000 and 40,000 people to Atlanta, and
we believe that the city should contrib
ute. It Is not certain that Mr. Bryan
will be here at the fair, and If he Is not
that will greatly decrease the attend-
once." .. ...
