MR. G’JERRY CALLS FOR
AN AUGUST PRIMARY
To the Editor of The Journal:
As a citizen and not as a candidate, I
write and ask you to publish this com
munication.
Some time ago (upon what authority I
know not), the papers generally published
statements or prognostications to the ef
fect that our primary would be held this
year in June. Since then I have seen in
some of the papers a suggestion that it
should or would be held In May.
Now. Mr. Editor, a date should be care
fully selected with a view to suit best the
great masses of the voters, and I respect
fully suggest that a month later than eith
er of these should be selected. In Au
gust our farmers, working men. mer
chants. business men generally and pro
fessional men. including our educators,
have probably more leisure from their
work and therefore more time to de
vote to public affairs, than in any other
month during the year. Why not there
fore have the primary in August, so that
all the people who have the right to par
ticipate In the primary can fully enjoy
the opportunity to do so? Both May and
June are very busy months with all our
people, and July Is a busy month with
our farmers.
I notice that some paper has already
suggested, in advocating May. that it is
to be hoped that no candidate will under
take to dictate on this subject. While I
am as a candidate in favor of a late pri
mary. I do not now write as a candidate,
but I do so simply on my right as a
voter in the primary; and as such voter
I now make a direct appeal to our exec
utive committee to consider this sugges
tion when they come to determine ths
date. Yours truly.

DONATE FIELD
TD COLLEGE
TWO ACRES OF LAND PURCHASED
/FOR A NEW ATHLETIC FIELD.
IT WILL BE PUT INTO CON-
DITION IMMEDIATELY.
EMORY COLLEGE. Feb. 27.—The stu
dent body today bought two acres of land
just south of the campus from Mr. Ike
Brown, of Covington, and donated it to
the college for a new athletic field. Mr. J.
Z. Johnson also gave one quarter of an
acre that the field might be sufficiently
large for all games and a race track. For
this the students are profoundly grateful
to him.
The amount paid for the ground was
S3OO, which was taken from the Emory
field fund, which was started last fall by
the students for Improvements on the
athletic field.
The speech of presentation was made
at the close of the chapel exercises by Mr.
Robert H. Timmons, of Atlanta, class of
1902, and In it he stressed the pleasure It
gave the students to give to the college
the field and the love of each student for
the institution.
President Charles E. Dowman responded
In behalf of hhnself, faculty and trustees
and thanked the student body most heart
ily for the gift

class has been busily engaged in survey
ing the field and work on It will com

DETECTIVES WATCH A CAVE
TO CATCH ITS OCCUPANT
Out in the woods to the west of the end
of Spring street a cave, evidently has
been discovered and the detectives and
county police have since been watching
the queer abode with the hope of learning
something of the dweller.
The cave was discovered last Sunday
afternopn by two gentlemen. The foot of
one struck a piece of iron in the leaves
and investigation showed the iron covered
an entrance to a cave of some kind. The
covering was removed and the dwelling
explored. When the completeness and
comfort of the cave were noted, the men
decided it must be the hiding place of
some one wanted by the law. Police head
quarters was called and Detectives White
and Oxburn went out to investigate.
The discoverers had torn up the cover
ing of the cave so that it could be seen
from a distance, but otherwise it had not
been disturbed. The cave is about ten
by fourteen feet and about six feet high.
It was dug straight down into the earth
and then covered with pine logs over
which leaves were spread. There was a
stove, a bench, a box and other articles
of comfort about the cave. A copy of
The Atlanta Journal, dated January 23.
was found on the floor.
There was a clever arrangement for the
smoke from the stove to pass out through
some logs. The entrance came from far
to one side. The place had certainly been
inhabited very recently.
DEMON OF REVENGE
RAGED IN BOY’S BREAST
NEW YORK. Feb. 27.—Revenge for rep
rimands given to Leonard Robinson, 14
years of age, at Blue Point, Long Island,
incited the boy to plan to kill John F.
Danes' 15-year-old daughter. Jessie.
He had dug a grave in which to bury
her. Leonard told several other boys and
a girl his intentions, and when the school
teacher confronted him he confessed.
Mr. Danes, fearing for the life of his
daughter, caused the arraignment of the
Robinson boy before a justice, and the
latter issued warrants for the lad’s arrest
on the charge of threatened murder, and
the boy was held by the sheriff.
The principal of the Blue Point school
testified that the boy had made a confes
sion to him. He had said he intended 'to
tiide in the woods opposite the girl’s
uncle's, and as she passed he meant to
shoot her and bury her. He said he had
the revolver with which to commit the
deed. He showed the revolver to other
children, who told their parents, and it
was reported to Principal Perry for ac
tion.
The Robinson boy said the plan was his
own, but he intended to let another boy
share tn the crime. He needed help to
drag the body of the girl to the railroad
track in order to let a train run over it.
to give the impression that she had been
killed by the cars. Then he intended to
bury th* body in a box in the woods.
REWARD IS OFFERED .

digger in Unionville. Sam s stepdaughter

night about six weeks ago.

HONORED
AMBASSADORS AND THE GERMAN
PRINCE JOIN AMERICA IN PAY
ING TRIBUTE TO DEAD
PRESIDENT.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-At noon today
in the great haJl of representatives, in the
presence of President Roosevelt, Prince
Henry of Prussia, brother of the German
emperor; the members of the cabinet, the
justices of the supreme court, command
ing general and officers of the army and
navy who have received the thanks of
congress, the ambassadors and other di
plomatic representatives of foreign coun
tries, the senators and representatives in
congress and a large number of distin
guished guests, the Hon. John Hay, Mc-
Kinley’s premier, pronounced a eulogy on
his dead chief.
Four times before national memorial
services for presidents who have died In
office have been held in this hall, two of
them like this. In commemoration of chief
magistrates who have fallen by the hands
of an assassin.
George Bancroft, the historian, pro
nounced the eulogy on Lincoln, and Blaine
was Garfield's orator. By a strange coin
cidence today was the twentieth anniver
sary of that on which Mr. Blaine was In
the same hall and delivered his eulogy
on Garfield, and stranger still, the sub
ject of today’s memorial service was the
chairman of the committee who had
charge of the arrangements on that oc
casion. Only one year ago, less five days,
at the head of an Imposing civic and mil
itary procession McKinley passed tri
umphantly along Pennsylvania avenue for
his second inaugural. Six months later
the tragedy occurred at Buffalo and an
other but different sort of a procession
bore his body through the streets to the
rotunda of the capltol where the tributes
of the nations of the earth about his bier
bespoke the universal sorrow. Today
once more with uncovered head the na
tion paid Its last tribute of respect and
publicly expressed its living grief.
' Again the broad avenue was filled with
vast crowds as they were a year ago.
Then the streets were a sea of glinting
bayonets and waving plumes and the air
was filled with the music of hundred
tongued resplendent bands. Today all was
changed. The procession was unorganiz
ed. No martial music lightened the feet
of the throng.
No cheerg rent the air. For the people
the event was one for the mind and heart
rather than for the eye and ear, and they
congregated in unnumbered thousands
about the great marble pile upon the hill.
While the ticket holders besieged the
great doors to the entrance of the rotun
da and overflowed the portico and steps
leading to it, the crowds, kept back by
lines of blue coated police, waited in the
three sides of the broad plaza in front of
the capltol. Content if they could not
gain admission into the hall of represen
tatives, to see the president. Prince Hen
ry or the bespangled diplomats.
The only emblems of mourning at the
capitol were the flags fluttering at half
mast above the two wings and on the
great arching dome. Before the doors
were opened for ticket-holders the corri
dors of the capitol were unoccupied save
for the guards. Within the hall of repre
sentatives all was in readiness.
The congressional committee having
charge of the arrangements was fortunate
not only in the selection of the person to
whom the honor of pronouncing the eulo
gy was committed, but also In the minor
details. The hall was without decoration
of any character. The red coated marine
band was stationed in the corridor which
separated the hall from the rear to the
lobby of the house.
The big chairs at the desks had been
removed and smaller ones substituted In
order to increase tne seating capacity. In
the area In front of the speaker's ros
trum heavy upholstered fauteuils had
been placed for the president. Prince Hen
ry, the cabinet, the general of the army
and the justices of the supreme court.
At 11:40, as the strains of the intermezzo,
from "Cavalleria Rusticana,” floated
through the hall, there was a stir through
out the chamber. The doors to the right
of the speaker's rostrum were flung wide
and the members of the diplomatic corps
marched in. preceded by the sergeant-at
arms of the house. The foreign ambassa
dors and ministers appeared in sombre
frock suits befitting the occasion, with the
exception of the Chinese minister, who
was dressed in his rich costume of silk. A
few of the military and naval attaches
who belonged to their staffs who had
coinc to the capital in their brilliant uni
forms did not enter the hall.
In the surrounding galleries were many
of the personal friends of the late presi
dent. These are only a few of those from
all quarters of the union who came to
attend the memorial services. But none
of the immediate family of the late pres
ident, so fas as known, was in attend
ance. On the floor were many former
members of the house, senate and the gov
ernors of the several states.
The door swung open, and on the
threshold and with every eye upon him,
stood Prince Henry between Senator For
aker and General Grosvenor, chairmen
respectively of the senate and house com
mittee. “His royal highness, Prince Henry
of Prussia?’ announced the doorkeeper.
The prince was dressed in the simple
dark blue uniform of an admiral of the
German navy without a single star or oth
er evidence of the imperial house to which
he belonged, on his breast. The navy was
Indicated by bands of gold upon the
sleeves. He carried white gloves and his
flat naval cap in his left hand. At his side
hung a short gold scabbard. Escorted by
General Grosvenor he took the place next
to that reserved for the president. As
soon as all had again been seated, the
speaker's gavel once more brought the
assemblage to its feet, and the members
of the senate appeared headed by Sena
tor Frye, the president pro tempore. The
senators took their seats immediately in
the rear of the members of the diplomatic
corps.
As the president was announced the
marine band in the lobby struck up "Hall
to the Chief.”
President Roosevelt was accompanied
down the aisle by Secretary Hay, the ora
tor of the day, and followed Immediately
by his aids. Colonel Bingham, of the army,
and Major Gilmore of the marine corps,
each In full uniform.
The other members of the cabinet came
in the wake of iue uniformed officers.
The president wore a mourning band of
crape upon his left arm. He took his
place in the area facing the speaker’s
desk with Prince Hepry upon his right.
The members of the cabinet, excepting
Secretary Hay. took their places to the
right Os the president. Secretaries Shaw
and Wilson were absent.
Senator Frye called the assemblage to
order and after a fervent prayer by Rev.
Dr. Couden, the blind chaplain of tl.e
house, he introduced the orator of the
day who read his oration slowly and in
clear and distinct tones.
Throughtout Hay’s speech, the audience
listened with great interest but the pero
ration, coupling together as if for all time
thp names of Washington and Lincoln
and McKinley seemed especially to im
press the hearers and as Secretary Hay
uttered the last solemn words, the spec
tators broke into a perfect storm of ap
plause which lasted for several minute*
One hour and twenty-five minutes were
consurqed in the dellverey of the oration.
As sbon as all the visitors had with
drawn, Speaker Henderson called the
house to order and at 1:40 the house was
declared adjourned until tomorrow.
HUMAnTnTEREST SCENES
AT M’KINLEY MEMORIAL
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—Among the
J striking incidents attending the McKinley
memorial exercises in the house of rep
resentatives yesterday was a forced retire
ment of former Assistant Secretary of the
Navy Hackett. He had not provided him
self with a card of admission and was
refused admittance by a doorkeeper,
though he displayed a letter from Sena
tor Foraker.
Hackett saw a favorable opportunity
later and slipped by the doorkeeper. Short
ly after he sat down the vigilant official
spied him. however, and leaving his post
he advanced to Mr. Hackett and politely
requested him to retire. This the former
navy official did, but in the corridor he
had a heated colloquy with the doorkeep
er. after which he left the building.
In shining contrast to this incident.
Champ Clark, of Missouri, presented a
picture of peace Incarnate. In his arms
as he listened to Secretary Hay’s long
address he held a little falr-halred child,
his daughter. The child slept with her
curly head* pillowed on her father's
breast. She was the only child noticeable
in the distinguished assembly and her
uniformed foreigners, the sombre clad
senators, congressmen and cabinet minis
ters was a subject of comment throughout
the vast crowd.
Once President Roosevelt observed the
child, he called the attention of Prince
Henry and both smiled upon the picture.
Senators Tillman and McLaurin were
both present at the exercises. McLaurin
was apparently unconcerned, but Tillman
sat through the ehtlre proceedings with
ids head bowed, evidently lost In deep
thought. Admiral Bob Evans, who had
been with the prince almost continuously
since his arrival in New York, was
conspicuous by his absence.

GRANTLAND WILL NOT~
RUN FOR CONGRESS
GRIFFIN. Feb. 28.—Hon. Seaton Grant
land, in an interview published in the
News yesterday, announces that he
will not oppose Hon. Charles L. Bartlett
for his seat In congress from the Sixth
district.
It was reported several months ago that
Mr. Grantland would make the race, and
he has been Importuned by friends all
ovOr the district to do so, but he declines
for business reasons to become an aspi
rant for that honor.
Mr. Grantland states that he has for the
past year devoted much of his time,
thought and resources to the harnessing
of {he Immense power of High Falls and
bringing it. converted into electricity, to
Griffin to run his factories and for com
mercial purposes which he believes will
double the city's population within a few
years. He hopes to have this work com
pleted within a year which if he laid it
aside to enter the race for congress there
is no telling how long It would be delayed
He expects to establish two or three oth
er enterprises which will greatly add to
Griffin's reputation as a manufacturing
center, and believes he can be of infinitely
more benefit to his community by carry
ing out these ideas than he could were
he to represent the Sixth district at the
national capltol.
Mr. Grantland’s declining to make the
race will more than likely result in Con
gressman Bartlett s re-election without
opposition.

R. W. M’GLAUGHRY WORKS
OVER OBERLIN M. CARTER
R. McClaughry, record clerk at the
Fort Leavenworth, Kan., prison, but now
temporarily assigned to duty at the At
lanta Federal prison, comes in more con

An order from the head of the depart
ment in Washington has stopped all gov
ernment officials and employes from talk

or from giving out anything that the pris
oner may say. This order was a result
of an article In a New York paper in
which Carter was made to criticise the at
torney general of the United States. The
statements attributed to the prisoner were
repudiated and there was quite a howl
all over the country about the repudiation
as well as the article. Many supposed
the article a fake, while an equal num
ber supposed it to be genuine and the re
pudiation made by Carter either made
under duress or from expediency. What
ever the true facts of the case were the
officials have since denied Carter the
right to talk and stopped all persons con

for measuring the convicts is expected to
arrive at an early date. It was Mr. Mc-
Claughry’s father, Major R. W. Mc-
Claughry, once superintendent of the Chi
cago police, and now warden of the fede
ral prison at Joliett, 111., who introduced
the French system into the United States.
As is well known, it is the most complete
system of identification on .earth. A man
once measured by this system can never
afterwards escape. All disguises are un
availing when once a criminal has been
measured by this system.
The system was at one time used by the
Atlanta police department, but was dis
continued. It Is a good protection Jo a
community, for the crooks understand
where the system is In vogue and avoid
that locality. They have no desire to be
measured, for they know well that after
once measured tney can be Identified in
almost any quarter of the globe.
After everything Is straightened out at
the federal prison hese and the system es
tablished, Mr. McClaughry will return to
Fort Leavenworth to resume his duties
as record clerk.

SALOON MEN AS MIXED AS THEIR
DRINKS OVER KNOTTY LE-
GAL PROBLEM.
A few liicky saloon keepers, all within
a rather small circle, had a monopoly on
business Thursday or nearly so. It was
county school election Cwy and some sa
loons opened that morning and some did
not. Men began to wonder. The liquor
dealers themselves began to wonder.
Thbse who had closed Were wbndertng if
they were missing sales when there was
no necessity and those who w«xe open be
gan to woiider if they, were violating the
law. •
“Can a bar run open today?” or ’’Must
I close my bar today?” came repeatedly
over the 'phone. The police did not ex
actly know at first. City Attorney May
son was called upon. He said it was a
county matter, not a city and he would
give no opinion. The police then referred
all dealers to the county officials. The po
lice would take no hand, Chief Ball de
cided.
Permits to open were then asked for,
but this the police wisely refused to give
It is the business of the saloon keeper to
know the law, the police said. “If it is
against the law to open today we can not
give you a permit to violate the law. If
it is not against the law you do not need
a permit,” they said. Rather nicely ar
gued, but not very satisfactory to the be
wildered saloon keeper.
They rushed to the county officials. So
licitor Eugene Black told those who ap
plied to him that he thought they had
best not open. Various other officials
were asked about the matter and the con
census of opinion pointed the the fact
that it was for the ordinary to decide.
Judge John 6. Wilkinson was then ap
pealed to and asked County Attorney Lu
ther Rosser for-his opinion. The county
attorney decided that all bars within two
miles of any of the polls must be closed
and all a greater distance than two miles
from, the poles could stay open.
“Very good, but is my bar within or
without the two-mile circumferences
about each of the polling places?” each
saloon keeper inquires in turn.
“I am sure I don’t know,” answers the
ordinary. No one knows. It is guess
work and the central bars have very
shrewdly figured it out that they are two
miles from any polling place and run
wide open accordingly, with just a
timid door closed here and there. Some
few of the bars further out decided not
to be outdone and opened.
few of the bars further out have decided
not to be outdone and are open.
There may be a grand jury investigation
to follow.

GRUY'S REMARKS HI
BANRRET CAUSED
CONFUSION
James A. Gray, the New York attorney
and second vice president of the Georgia
Society in New York, who broke up the
banquet of the Georgia society Monday
night by referring hj. Prince Henry *nd
the dining of Booker Washington at the
white house, is an Atlantian.
He practiced law here for several years.
He was wall known to many people, and
at one time he wrote the editorial para
graphs on The Evening Capitol, an after
noon paper. He moved to New York
twelve years ago, and when the Georgia
society was organized last year he was
one of the most prominent members.
At the banquet Monday night his re
marks threw the banqueters into confus
ion and the meeting was hastilv broken
up. The following is exactly what Mr.
Gray said in his speech:
“I sincerely deprecate and look with no
little degree of foreboding upon the evi
dently growing spirit of our people which
finds expression in fitting out and dis
patching hospital ships to British maraud
ers in South Africa while American sold
iers are left to suffer, unaided and un
succored in the Philippines; which out
flunkeys flunkeyism in doing honor to a
‘paper’ admiral who happens to be a Ger
man prince, yet denies the scantest jus
tice to a real admiral who happens to be
only an American hero; which loots the
public treasury to send bejewelled and
silk-stockinged envoys to the coronation
of Edward VIL. yet dines a negro at the
white house to disrupt the friendly rela
tions which exist between the different
sections of our own country. I do not
ask your approval, collectively or indi
vidually. of this sentiment, for today it
might be deemed revolutionary, but as
long as an indulgent Creator gives me life
and strength, whether I be within the
borders of this, my adopted state, which
I love with an affection pure as the sylvan
stream, loyal as the heart throbs of
faith, or amid the old red hills of our
own loved and honored Georgia, where
I first saw the lighth of day and in whose
bosom. I pray God, my bones may rest
I if I stand alone; shall entertain it and
will not lack tne courage to give it ex
pression.”
