LEE M'CLUNG QUITS
IS 11. S. TREASURER;-
- FRICTJDNRUMOREO
Long-Time Trouble With Sec
retary MacVeach Is Said to
Have Been at Bottom of the
Resignation
(By AaMdated Ptm*.)
WASHINGTON. D. C-. Nov. 14—An"
nouncement of the resignation of Lee
McClung as treasurer of the United
States was made by President Taft to
day. Mr. McClung tendered his resig
natlon to the president at a conference
at the executive mansion early today,
and its acceptance was later announced
by the president from the executive of
fice* with the information that Mr. Mc-
Clung resigned voluntarily. It is be
lieved that Carmi Thompson, now pri
vate secretary to the president, will suc
ceed him.
McClung's resignation becomes ef
fective as soon as his successor is
appointed. The treasurer declined to dis
cuss his retirement in ahy way today,
but it was rumored that his resignation
cm. u the result of continued friction
with Secretary MgcVeagh.
Mr McClung was one of the treasury
officials named by Assistant Secretary
al p-.att Andrew as having been in
continued controversy with the secre
tary of the treasury, when Mr. Andrew,
n a letter accompanying his resignation
declared that the secretary and his as
sociates were not in harmony.
Mr. McClung had a conference with
Secretary MacVeagh yesterday, and it is
understood the result of that conference
was the offer of his resignation to Pres
ident Taft today. He was appointed
treasurer of the United States Novem
ber 1. I***. Before that Mr. McClung,
who was a noted Tale football star, had
been identified with the Southern rail
way, and from 1904 to 1909 had been
treasurer of Yale university.
The appointment of Carmi Thompson
to sueced him would be followed, it is
believed, by the immediate return of
Charles D. Hilles to the White House
as secretary to the president. It has
been understood in Washington, since
Mr. Hilles became chairman of the Re
publican national committee, that the
president hoped to reinstate him at the
White House after election.
The treasurer of the United States is
not appointed for a fixed term. Accord
ing to his commission he serves until
his successor is appointed.
A GIGANTIC JOB.
The resignation of Mr. McClung
means that the money and securities
for which the treasurer is responsible,
must be actually counted and receipted
for. This will be the greatest single
financial transaction in the history of
the world. When Mr. McClung assumed
the duties of treasure/ he gave a re
ceipt to his predecessor for 11.2 W. 134.-
943.33 2-2. e
This was the largest single transac
tion from n*an to man on record. While
th* exact amount of the treasurer's
fund is not known, it Is expected that it
win exceed those figures by many mil
lions.
It will require probably 'three months
to count the money and securities. This
create* a remarkable situation, because,
presuming that Mr. McClung’s succes
sor will retire on the fourth of March
with the incoming of Woodrow Wilson,
the coant must be made all over again
for the new treasurer.
While responsible for over a billion
dollars the treasurer of the United
States < receives a salary of 38,000 and
is bonded for only 3150,000.

fair, which opened here today has been
the best and most enjoyable ever held
by th* association.
It had been feared that the display in
the agricultural departments would not

up to what is considered the general
average, but on the contrary the exhibit
is ahead of that of 1911. both in quanti

Contemplated
BY lAIFI SMITH.
PRINCETON. N. J.. Nov. 14 —Pres
ident Taft’s intimations of an era of
better feeling made in his address to
the United Daughters of th* Confeder
acy re-echoed today in the Thanksgiv
ing proclamation of Governor Wilson.
The president-elect makes a reference
to the campaign just closed which, ta
ken in connection with his praise of
the sentiments expressed by Mr. Taft,
can be interpreted only as concurring in
the assertion that the people of this
country are approaching a more com
mon understanding of one another.
“Another year of peace and prosper
ity has passed by,” he says. "The life
of the state and of the nation has
been undisturbed by “war or pestilence
or disaster of any kind. We have been
free to choose our own ways and
have gone through the varied action of
a great political campaign without vio
lence or passion. The hope of our peo
ple has arisen with an increase of
their life and God has been very gra
cious to us in all His dealings.”
The governor will go to New York
tomorrow afternoon and in the even
ing will be the guest of his university
classmate* at a dinner at the Univer
sity club.
He is going to lead newspaper cor
respondent* a merry chase when he be
gins his vacation next week. He said
touay that he intended to make long
bicycle trips as he has been accus
tomed to-do for years on his vacation
in England.
The president-elect will sail on Sat
urday afternoon for the retreat, a short
distance from New York, where' he is
going to spend 'a month, and there
will be a party of correspondents along
who already are training for the bicy
cle journeys.
Governor Wilson said that besides
bicycling he expected to ride horseback
a good deal. "My youngest daughter
is very fond of riding,” he said.

With Pretty Minnie March
man at Ashburn
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
ASHBURN. Ga., Nov. 14- —Develop-
ments have followed fast in the death
of pretty Minnie Marchman, th* young*
girl, who lived with her widowed mother
six miles from Ashburn, and a warrant
has been sworn out for a young man,
who, it is said, was seen with the girl
ten days before her death.
It is said that the girl’s death was due
to poisoning and her stomach has been
sent to Atlanta to be analyzed.
The coroner’s jury is said to have ob
tained evidence that the girl's death was
not from natural causes and it is alleged
that her death was due to some deadly
drug. The young man with whom she
was seen is said to have left this com
munity four days prior to her death.
The unexpected developments came
shortly before her funeral, when physi
cians. friends and members of the fami
ly became suspicious over her sudden
death, and it was decided that an in
quest should be held.

the finest ever pulled off in this section
and attracts a continual stream of vis

and kind and how the judges are to de
cide between their merits seems a puz

has decided these prizes at all of the,
shows here, is on hand and will make
the awards.
The stock display is much larger than
last year and of better quality.
The whole show is far above the av

JOURNAL'S INAUGURATION
CAMPAIGN TALK OF SOUTH
School Pride Is Figuring !r?
This Campaign and Enthu
siasm Runs High
Telegrams and letters which ar* pour
ing in upon The Journal from all parts
of the south indicate beyond the shadow
of a doubt that the inauguration trip
campaign, just Instituted by this paper,
will be one of the big successes of the
times.
Numerous school and college boys
have expressed a determination to win a
place in the party of 125 which The
Journal will take to Washington for
President Wilson’* Inauguration and for
sightseeing trips in and around the most
wonderful and beautiful city on the
American continent.
SCHOOL PRIDE AROUSED.
The Journal learned Thursday morn
ing that school pride would play a
prominent part in this campaign. Sev
eral schools and colleges already have
under consideration a plan of nominat
ing one of their students, after which
they will get in behind him and help
him to success.
It was The Journal’s original inten
tion not to take on this trip any boy
under 14 years of age, but so many
school boys, their teachers and parents,
have urged th* reduction of this age
limit that The Journal has decided that
boys 12 years and over shall be eligible.
It is th* purpose of this paper to send
along with the party, several of its
responsible representatives, who will ex
ercise a general supervision over the
boys, and see to it that they not only
have every advantage to witness the in
auguration 'of President Wilson and
take in all the sights of interest in and
around Washington, but also to look
after their comfort and well-being.
The first coupons for this inaugura
tion trip campaign were printed in The
Journal of Tuesday, November 12. All
nominations close at midnight of Janu
ary 1, and the campaign comes to an
end at midnight of February 1.
WILL BE FIVE-DAY TRIP.
As stated in the preliminary an
nouncement of this campaign, the spe
cial Pullman train which will carry The.
Journal's school and college boy guests'
to Washington leaves Atlanta on the
morning pf March 3d, arriving in Wash
ington early on the 4norning of the
following day, which is the day that,
President Wilson will take his oath of
office and enter upon a four-year term
as the *xecuttv<! of the United States.
Three days will be spent in Washing
ton. The first will be given over to the
inaugural day ceremonies and the sec
ond and third will be devoted to sight
seeing tours to all the points of inter
est in and around Washington. Th*
Journal’s special train will leave on its
return journey on the afternoon of
March 6. and will arrive in Atlanta
the following morning. Every expense
incurred from the time the party leaves
Atlanta until its return to this city,
will be borne by The Journal.
If you -ere a school or college boy
and lave not already enlisted your in
terest in this campaign, you are over
looking an unusual opportunity. One
hundred and twenty-five boys are going
to take this trip at The Journal’s ex
pense and there is no reason why you
should not be one of the number

WEBBER ANO VALLON
FIRED THE FATAL SHOTS
- -‘-GYP THE BLOOD.
Gyp Swears He Knew Nothing
of It Until the Next
Day
(By AMoeistad Press.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 14.—Harry Horo
wits, known as "Gyp the Blood,” the
dandy of the four gunmen on trial,
charged with murdering Herman Rosen
thal at Charles Becker's bidding, took
the witness stand today and swore that
the shots in ffont of the Hotel Metro
pole were fired by Harry Vallon and
“Bridgie" Webber, informers for the
state, and a third man, mysteriously un
named.
He denied every incriminating state
ment made by "Bold Jack" Rose, and
said that he and his companions did not
even hear of the murder until seven
hours after it occurred. They were
within a stone's throw of the scene,
whither they had gone out at the
stranger’s invitation, he said, and fled
when they heard the shots.
“Gyp,” under the questioning of his
attorney, told of being in Webber’s
poker rftom with Rose, Schepps, Ciroflcl
and a stranger.
The men left the poker rooms with
the "unknown,” "Gyp” said. "Dago
Frank declared he was going home, and
the others, including the stranger,
walked to the Hotel Cadillac, at Forty
third street and Broadway.
"We stood there by the Cadillac,” the
witness declared, "and the strange man
walked across Forty-third street. He
approached Rose, Webber, Vallon and
ScheppX who were standing oposite the
Metropole. All five of them then walk
ed over toward the Metropole, ‘Bridgie’
Webber and Harry Vallon first.
“All of a sudden we heard a shot,
and a flash. We saw Harry Vallon and
Bridgie Webber and the strange man
shooting.”
"How many men did you see shoot
ing?"
“Those three, Harry Vallon, ’Bridgie’
Webber and the strange man.”
"As soon as we saw them firing,” con
tinued "Gyp,” “We ran for the Subway.
A train was just pulling in and v <we
boarded it without paying fare. We
rpde to 145th street and Lennox avenue
and went to our flat.”
Cirofici ("Dago Frank”) was then at
the flat, the witness said.
The witness denied that Rose had
ever asked him and his companions to
murder Rosenthal. Rose’s motive in
seeking them, he said, was to assure
them that he had no part in the fram
ing-up of Big Jack Selig.
On cross-examination, "Gyp” admitted
that he had been fined in five larceny
offense*.

HOSTS OF DEMOCRATS
HOLD MACON JUBILEE
Ten Thousand Cheering Geor
gians March in Mam
moth Parade
(By Azzociated Preu.)
MACON, Ga., Nov. 14.—Celebrating
the victory of the national Democratic
ticket, a mile and a half of parade
made up of decorated floats, marching
companies, all framed in red fire, filed
through three miles of crowded streets
Wednesday night in a jubilee that
brought visitors from al lover the cen
tral portion of the state.
It was th© greatest crowd that ever
appeared on Macon streets, not except
ing the day th© Confederate veterans
mcrched in the general reunion last
summer.
Senators Bacon and Smith, of Geor
gia; Congressman Hardwick and Pleas
ant A. Stovall, of Savannah, addressed
5,000 people in the city auditorium and
an overflow meeting was held. Special
reduced rates brought swarms of peo
ple in from south and middl*' Georgia.
Ten thousand wildly cheering Geor
gians were in the parade amid a blaze of
red fire, a shower of sparks from Ro
man candles and a din that continued
for hours, caused by the thousands of
dynamite canes which were distrib
uted to every person in line.
It was Georgia’s celebration of the re
markable Democratic victory at the
polls and a tribute to President-elect
Woodrow Wilson.
The climax of the illumination was a
the highest spot in the city. Loads of
baled hay and pine logs were/piled as
high as an ordinary house and saturated
with kerosene and the fire was burnln»
at it* best when the parade passed by.
Os the out-of-town delegations Fort
Valley was the largest Forty-eight au
tomobiles came from that place, bring
ing a total of 228 people. The delega
tion was headed by Mayor O. M. Hous
er. Fort Valley won th* 350 prize for
the largest delegation and the money
will be turned over to that city. Dub
lin sent 150 people and a band of sixteen
pieces. Scattering parties were present
from practically every town in middle
and south Georgia.
JIILLYER PRESIDES.
L. P. Hillyer presided as chairman
of the mass meeting. As the speakers took
their places on the platform it was
with difficulty that he caused the cheer
ing to cease and introduce Mayor
Moore, wuo welcomed Macon guests.
Mayor Moore closed with a fine trib
ute to Governor Wilson. His speech
was frequently interrupted with pro
longed cheers, especially loud being
those which followed his reference to
Mercer and Senator Bacon.
Mr. Hillyer introduced senator Bacon,
who said:
GREAT MAN MEETS GREAT ISSUE.
"On this occasion I realize the speak
er's office is a nominal one. The real
demonstration is the one which wells up
from the hearts of the people who
are elated over their triumph. There
are times when the shouts of the peo
ple are more eloquent than words. And
I’m glad to be able within my ten min
utes to congratulate the people of Geor
gia on this auspicious occasion. We have
much, a great deal, to rejoice over. We
have greatly to rejoice in the character
of the man destined to preside over this
nation for the next four years. It has
been shown that in a great crisis, a
great man arises to meet the issue. The
American people by almost unanimous
verdict have said that in character, in
tellect, learning anfl ability, Governor
Wilson is the man of the hour.
Senator Bacon’s reference to the death
of sectionalism in the United States, as
the result of the election of Governor
Wilson, enthused his audience probably
more than any other portion of his
WHY h gMITH BROKE ENGAGEMENT.
Senator Smith told the audience the
only thing that brought him to Georgia,
instead of going to New York, where

COLD SIiOGS ' ■
MUST BE STAMPED
Inspector Wasser Begins Cnr |
sade Against Sale of Cold f
Storage Eggs As Fresh
A crusade for the enforcement of th*f
city ordinance which requires that all)
cold storage eggs be marked, with the
date they went on the ice, ha* been,
inaugurated by Inspector Wasser, and
the first victim has been required to do
nate 325.75 towards the maintenance of
th* city of Atlanta.
Any egg that has been laid over two
weeks is no longer fresh, according to '
the ruling of Dr. J. P. Kennedy, the
city health officer, and any dealer who
sells a fresh egg over two weekai old
liad better beware, for Inspector Was
ser, aided and abetted by the entir*
police force, will soon be on his trail.
The first man to be haled before the
recorder to answer the charge of fall
ing to brand cold storage eggs, was J. I. ' s
Geuting, manager of the Swift company
on East Alabama street.
Inspector Wasser testified in police
court that he learned that the Swift
company was selling eggs, whltjh were JfjJ
not branded, and accordingly he went • '■
over and purchased a few of them.
Then he betook himself to the country, >
got some striotly fresh eggs. He
cooked, he said, one from th* Country V
fresh and one of the unmarked city<
eggs. Then he docketed a case against
Mr. Geuting.
The manager for the big packing com
pany declared that the eggs purchased
by Inspector Wasser were krfi»wn as O
“short holds," and had not been In. cold
storage, he thought, long enough to war
rant a brand. < «||
Inspector Wasser then told the court
of Dr. Kennedy’s ruling, and Mr. Geut
ing declared that there were dozens
of people who are violating the law In
the city, if eggs, which are *nly two
-old, must be branded. -
Inspector Wasser did not deny the
statement. On the contrary, he told
Mr. Geuting that he was simply the first
victim, and that he, the inspector, was
going after the others with glove* off.
The recorder then imposed a fin* of 1
325.75 on Mr. Geuting.
Before leaving headquarters. Inspect
or Wasser went among the police-and
told them -tfTat he had been informed
that three men were going over the city
selling cold storage eggs for the strictly \
fresh product of the hen. The police
were then Instructed to find' and bring
in the three peddlers.
