Committed Suicide in Order to Increase Capital Stock (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) JACKSONVILLE, Fla.. June 5.—Cor oner Abbott this afternoon announced that so soon as he received from Dr. Glaser the report of his chemical test of vitals he will convene the coroner’s jury and probe the death of aPinter to the bottom. The theory advanced to day that the possible motive for the alleged suicide is the fact that the in surance company shut down on more insurance, preventing E. O. Painter company doubling its capital stock by lack of sufficient security f<»r new stocks! Circuit Attorney Hallowes’ attention has been called to the Painter body mu tilation prior to the family being noti fied and saild there was no law to prevent or punish such action bv sur geons or their employers. He will take no action in the case. The whole sim mers into contest for millions under the year suicide clause in civil courts. Promises to be the biggest insurance suit in the south.

Her cost will be close to $1,000,000, and she is to be completed within twenty-one months. j The Bushnell is designed as a “moth er ship” for a squadron of submarines, and many roomy staterooms will be pro dded for the officers and crews of the submarines when they are not actually cruising. Powerful hoisting apparatus will be installed, where with a subma rine damaged or sunk can speedily be lifted to the surface of the sea and a towing machine will enable the “moth er boat” to tow five of her breed at one time. The little fleet will be independent of a home station, for a well equipped machine shop will be installed aboard the Bushnell. Capacious tanks are to be installed to carry sufficient oil and gas oline to supply the submarines for many weeks. t The Bushnell herself will be driven by a single screw turned by turbine engines. Her displacement will be 2,500 tons and with a battery of four five- inch rapid fire guns and a torpedo tube she will be able to protect her charges from torpedo boats and destroyers.

BLACKMAIL IS DEFENSE OF A WOOL MILE HEAD Atteaux, Charged With Plant ing Dynamite at Lawrence, Says Breen Tried Blackmail BOSTON. June 5.—The defense of Frederick E. Atteaux in the dynamite conspiracy trial alleges that the dye manufacturer was the victim of at tempted blackmail by John J. Breen, who has confessed to “planting” dyna mite at Lawrence to throw suspicion of contemplated violence upon the tex tile strikers. Atteax took the stand in his own de fense today. Daniel H. Coakeley, counsel for At teaux, said it would be shown that on the night of January 16, 1912, Atteaux was called on the telephone by Asa Korbey, a Syrian of Lawrence, whom Atteaux asked to report on strike con ditions in this city. Korbey said that a man nameo Breen, who had done splendid work in advising the strikers to refrain from violence, was in his place and would like, .to talk with Atteaux. The next day Breen came to Bos ton, met Atteaux for the first time and asked him to have the American Woolen company officials telephone to the mayor of Lawrence advising that dynamite stored in the city yard be re moved to a place of safety. Atteaux did so and the next day Breen again called on the defendant 1 and thanked him. The following day Breen came to At- teaux’s office and at Breen’s request Atteaux summoned the late Ernest W. Pittman, who according to witnesses for the state, furnished the dynamite ’from the Woolen company offices. Waited in Vain for Fifty Years for Her Sweetheart’s Return (By Associated Press.)

M’ADOO ASKS CONGRESS TO CHECK CUSTOMS CHANGE (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, June 5.—Secretary McAdoo has recommended to congress a postponement of the customs reor ganization plan until January 1, 1914, because of sentiment against it and be cause he believes it contains imperfec tions. The secretary, however, ap proves the principle of the reorganiza tion. Practically every customs port in the United States Is affected by this de cision. The secretary’s recommendation was sent to Senator Clarke, chairman of the ccmmerce committee. Mr. McAdoo be lieves, it is said, that the plan con tains many things which should be omitted, and is devoid of other re forms he is anxious to make in the customs service. In suggesting a postponement of six months he recommends that congress amend the law so that the plan of re organization must result In a saving of $500,000 based upon the expenses of the customs service for the current finance year. The president, secretary of the treas ury and congress have been bombarded with protests against the reorganiza tion, which would revolutionize the cus toms service and reduce the number of districts and collectors of customs from 156 to forty-nine. CHARLES S. KOHLER DIES IN PARIS *2 NEW YORK, June 5.—The death of Charles S. Kohler, the wealthy piano manufacturer and sportsman of this city, yesterday in Paris, France, re moves a figure which has been promi nent for several years in the turf world. Mr. Kohler purchased Samuel C. Hil dreth's stable of famous race horses in the fall of 1911, after horse racing had been stopped In New York, and add ing these to his own string of thorough breds, he took them all abroad to con tinue racing in France and England.

He maintained in this country a breeding farm in the Ramapo valley and raced under the name of the Ramapo stables. L. M. FRANK’S TRIAL WILL OCCUR WEEK OF JUNE 30 Although no definite decision has been arrived at by Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey, the indications are that Leo M. Frank, the pencil factory superin tendent, who is under indictment for the murder of Mary Phagan, will be put on trial during the week beginning June 30, instead of the week of June 23, as had been expected. It is understood that the solicitor will be ready with the prosecution for the later date, and that if the defense does not ask a delay the trial will begin at; that time. For several days Solicitor Dorsey, as- 1 sisted by City Detectives Campbell and Starnes, has been preparing the case against Frank. In addition to the nu- ‘ merous affidavits obtained from pros pective witnesses, the solicitor has had prepared a very large diagram of the; pencil factory interior upon which he has indicated everything which he thinks will be of importance to the pros ecution. j One rather mistifying entry on this; diagram is the sketch of a^ shelf which ; Is supposed to be in the private office • of Superintendent Frank. This sketch; is explained on the diagram as fol-. lows: “Shelf on which notes were! found.” 1 Just what notes are referred to can not be learned. It has been understood that the only notes written about' the murder were those two which James Conley, the negro sweeper, claims to have written at the dictation of Frank. If any other notes were found this fact has not been made public. Solici tor Dorsey refuses to explain the en try. WON’T QUESTION CONLEY. Before leaving police headquarters Wednesday morning to appear before the Fulton county grand jury in con nection with the vice probe Detective Chief N. A Lanford announced that if there was to be any further quizzing of James Conley, the negro sweeper at the National pencil factory, it would occur at the negro’s suggestion. “1 am satisfied with what Conley has sworn to concerning his part in the murder of Mary Phagan,” declared Chief Lanford. “When he was returned to police headquarters from the jail last Saturday I told him that« if he thought of anything else in connection with the murder that he wished to tell to have the turnkey notify me, and I would bring him to my office. I have not seen Conley since that time and have not hoard from him. ■” m S TARIFF BILL KEEPS SENATORS VERY BUSY Program of Speeches, Corner stone Laying, Tribute to Jef ferson Davis and Smoker Leading citizens of DeKalb county and many citizens of Atlanta attended 'homecoming day in Decatur Tuesday.

Senator Hoke Smith and Others Unable to Answer Let ters on Account of Work BY RALPH SMITH. WASHINGTON. June 5.—The work of preparing the tariff bill for report to the Democratic caucus has been so engrossing that the members of the finance committee are unable to 'give attention to their mail or other office affairs. Senator Hoke Smith said: “I feel that I should ask the indul gence of my friends in Georgia, both as regards their correspondence and matters before the department in which they are interested. The Democrats upon the finance committee hope to conclude their work on the tariff bill within about two weeks and to report the measure to the Democratic caucus at that time. Our labors will then be lightened and we can again take up matters in which our constituents are personally interested. At present all my time is demanded bj r the tariff bill, but I believe that in this work, which we are seeking to hurry forward, I am serving the people of Georgia better than I could in any other way. It is of greatest importance to the country that the tariff bill be disposed of at the earliest date at whic ha well-con sidered measure can be passed.” PROSPECTS BRIGHT FOR BROOKS COUNTY FARMERS QUITMAN, Ga.. June 5.— 1 The first crop of 1913, the oat crop, is being har vested in Brooks county, and it is the most phenomenal yield ever known In a county where good crops are the rule and not the exception. One farmer estimates that the crop will be twice the volume of the average oat crop in this county. The bumper crop is due to several reasons; first the crops in the county geenrally had better preparation this year than ever before, and the season as to weather has been ideal in every particular. The bad crop year of 1912 made every farmer work harder to make a good crop this year, and the weather has been right in line with these efforts. Owing to the * partial failure of last year's oat crop and the fact that many farmers had to buy oats this spring a larger acreage of oats was planted also. The average yield of oats in the county has been about fifteen bushels to the acre; this average will be exceeded this year undoubtedly. D. C. Denmark, of Hickory Head, has sixty-five acres from which he harvested forty-five bushels per acre. He has threshed out 4,000 bushels of oats so far and has not fin ished. A great many farmers are mak ing fifty bushels to the acre. Prospects for other staple crops indi cate a yield equally phenomenal. The good crop conditions which have prevail ed are making a great corn crop and cotton is unusually fine. Cotton blooms appeared In the field last week and the plants are two feet high. The water melon crop is another very promising one, which will be ready for market in a few weeks. Taken altogether, this promises to be the best crop year in every particular the county has ever had. Farm labor has been plentiful, owing to the high price of meat and other staples this spring the negroes have been willing to put in full time working and there has been no labor problem to vex the planters. The crops in every instance will be produced at fully 40 per cent less expense than usual. MINISTER SAYS MARRIAGE FEES ARE ONLY GRAFT (By Associated Piers.) CHICAGO, June 5.—The Rev. Ai mer Pennewell solemnized the first “anti-graft” marriage yesterday since his recent announcement that he be lieved fees accepted by ministers for officiating at weddings were nothing less than a graft, and that In the fu ture he would make no charge for this service. He also asserted that couples must “present clean bills of health from reputable physicians.” Clifton Walker Hunt, of Cleveland, and Miss Dorothy Maize, of Oakpark, a suburb, were the principals at the wed ding. The father of the brid£ attempt ed to force a fee upon the clergyman but was unsuccessful. “I get a salary for my services, and couples should not feel that they are receiving charity,” said the preacher. U would be sufficient In- |8|tfK;$IS vnriers hack American made. beautifully engrav This Declaration Made by General R, K, Evans-He Gives Reasons Why That the entire standing army of the United States if scattered strategetical- ly along the Pacific coast would be un able to cope with an invasion by the Japanese and prevent them from taking the principal cities of the ft*r west, is the startling announcement made to The Journal Wednesday morning by Briga dier General Robert K. Evans, command er of the second brigade of the first division. General Evans has just returned from an extended tour which included Wash ington, D. C., and army posts in the middle west where portions of the sec ond brigade are stationed. He pointed out the fact that the entire American fleet of twenty-six battleships were on the Atlantic coast with no defenses on the Pacific save the forts and a maxi mum of 5,000 trained soldiers at the present time. In keeping tne entire fleet of ships together, General Evans points out that this country Is doing the only logical thing. He points to the Russo-Japanese war when the Russians divided their fleet only to have it destroyped piece meal by the little yellow men. Such a policy on the part of the United States would be folly, he says. WEAKNESS IN DIVISION. "Our naval fleet on the Atlantic coast,” said the general, “could and would successfully withstand any at tack, but once we divided it, keeping thirteen of the ships on this coast and the other half on the Pacific, we would suffer the same inevitable sea defeat of the Russians. For that reason the entire fleet is being kept together. “On the Pacific coast, as has been said, there are no ships, and only the forts that are able to shoot twelve miles. Of course an invading fleet of battleships and transports would not get within range, but effect a landing behind some cliff safely out of their« range and with their infantry attack the coast defenses from the rear. All of our forts are open, except from the front, and their capture would easy matter unless we had fantry there to drive the invaders back. This, as I have said, we have not, such is the condition at present. DrexeU JAP PROCEDURE. “It is natural to suppose that the* Japanese would first take up their abode in the Pliilipppines and the island of Hawaii. Both would be easy mat ters with our present fighting force in both places and the next point of at tack would naturally be the Pacific coast. “That they could gain a foothold there and remain for some time no one who is acquainted with the conditions of affairs can deny. And they would take our principal cities on the coast from north to south. There would be no depredations, however, nor any pil laging. The Japanese are well disci plined soldiers and no harm would come to the non-combatants. Just the same the spoils of war belong to the* victor and thefe would be nothing tc prevent a country from demandin/ $50,000,000 from the citizens of <San Francisco for protection. “The day of formally declaring war months ahead has passed into history War is war and it is commenced and carried on as such. It is true that we gave England notice in 1812 and wen just as courteous to Spain, but it iy : mistaken idea that such a practice is considered essential between two world powers. NINETY PAYS FROM COAST. “A.a was the case in the Russo-Japa nese war, the Japs could recall theii ambassado- have him demand his pass ports, which is virtually a declaration of the severance of diplomatic rela tions, and have their fleet within five days of striking. Bear in mind the fact that our fleet is fully ninety days from the Pacific coast. “The invasion of the west would be well under way before we could be able to muster enough troops to even stop them and even the army under colors row is inadequate to go forth and suc cessfully combat with the army Japan is able to and would send over should ti.ey decide on such a policy. “It is a pitiable fact that the Amer ican people are in such Ignorance oi the needs of the army, which is in reality the backbone of defense to any country. The navy and the coast de fenses might be overcome, but with trained men In the Interior to back them up, no force could ever gain a foothold on American soil v “Give us a mobile army of 1 per cent of the entire population of the country or a soldier to every 100 in habitants and there need never be any fear of a foreign invasion. Armies are not made overnight, nor in a month jr months, but after long service. Yet the people of the United States and the silver tongued orators would have you believe that thousands of men are to day ready to go to battle. “Just what the real attitude of the Japanese is, no one knows. They are a secret people and keep their plans wen guarded. In Washington where I have been for some time making final ar rangements for the International shoot ing tournament, to be held at Camp Perry, Ohio, commencing August 15, nothing definite is known in official cy cles as to what may come out of th* Jap controversy. “They are a people who would war with another country rather than be split with internal dissension, as was the case of Napoleon III. He saw his empire tottering and accordingly pick ed a fuss with Germany. France was defeated, but the dissension was ’for gotten.
