THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, JULY 11, 1913. -rr GEORGIA FARMERS’ UNION ARSON SQUAD MILITANT READ IN LOBBY PROBE CONLEY SAYS HE SAT Finding of Portion of Salary Envelope Bearing Victim’s Name Expected to Strength en Defense's Contention I, A, Smith Says New Orleans Meeting Was Fight Against Free Sugar The pay envelope, which was the quest of Mary Phagan's visit to the Na tional Pencil factory on April 26. when she met her death, has been found. At least enough of the envelope to definitely identify it is in the hands of the authorities. The upper corner of the pay envelope, bearing the name of the victim of the sensational murder mystery, was found on the first floor of the factory by Pink erton detectives three weeks after the commission of the crime. While attorneys for the defense and the prosecution have known of the find for weeks, the fact only became public Wednesday. The corner of the pay envelope was found on the first floor of the factory, behind a radiator, about 15 feet from the stairway and about S feet from the place, where James Conley, the negro sweeper, says he sat for more than an hour on the day of the tragedy. Apparently the portion of the enve lope containing the girl’s pitiful wage, was carried away. The upper portion could naturally have been torn off and thrown away by the girl or anyone else, who wanted to reach the money. But at the same time it is possible that the murderer, not wishing to have the incriminating evidence on his per son, threw away the only part of the envelope, which could be identified and kept the blank paper. It is said that the finding of the en velope will prove an assistance to the defense of Leo M. Frank, rather than to the state, for the simple reason that it was found so near the spot where Conley was sitting. In the several portions of the negro’s various confessions of complicity, which . have been made public he has never made any mention of the envelope or of the purse of the dead girl, which, it is said, never has been found. The discovery of the envelope in the particular spot where it is said to have been found, is practically certain to be used by Frank’s attorneys, Reuben R. Arnold and Luther Z. Rosser, in the de fense of the trial of Frank. Their , view of the matter is said to be that it tends strongly to incriminate the ne gro and exculpate Frank as the real slayer of Mary Fhagan. HABEAS CORPUS. Indefinite postponement of the habeas , corpus proceedings to secure the release of Newt Lee, negro witness held in the Fhagan murder case, was agreed by the negro’s attorneys,, Graham and Chap pell, and the solicitor general, Hugh M. Dorsey, at the calling of the petition for hearing before Judge W. D. Ellis ■ Wednesday morning. It was stated then, upon authority, that the defense representing Leo M. Frank, superintendent of the National . Pencil factory,* accused of the murder, was not interested in the proceedings In behalf of Newt Lee, either for or against the negro, and that the lawyers retained by Frank -would take no hand in that matter one way or the other. Postponement of the case to a defi nite time had been expected . before the habeas corpus matter was taken up, and. upon previous instructions, the sheriff did not have the negro in court. This action seemed to dispose of the probability that Jim Conley, the negro sweeper at the factory, and Leo M. Frank, whom he accuses, would be brought face 'to face in the court in this matter for the first time since Con ley made his allegations against the superintendent. USES KNIFE AS LANCE; DIES OF BLOOD POISON (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) FORT GAINES, Ga., July 10.—Mr. T C.

A. Smith, of Tennille, president of the Georgia division of the Farmers’ union, ap peared before the senate lobby investi gating committee today and declared that the committee meeting of the Na tional Farmers’ union held in New Or leans last spring really amounted to a manufacturers’ gathering called to work against free sugar. He said he didn’t remember whether or not any action in regard to sugar was taken, but he asserted that letters were written to southern senators. He said he wrote to Senators Smith and Bacon requesting them to look after the farmers’ interests. Mr. Smith said when he got back to Georgia he found he had been mixed up with a bad crowd. “I reckon I’m a farmer,” Mr. Smith told the committee when he began. He was questioned about the meeting of a committee of the National Farm ers’ union at New Orleans last spring, at which a scheme to increase the con sumption of cotton was to be dis cussed. “Was any action taken in regard to sugar at that meeting?” asked Senator Overman. “I don’t think so. There were some letters ^written to senators. I wrote to Senators Bacon and Smith.” HIS EXPENSES PAID. Smith testified that his expenses at the New Orleans meeting were paid by I. D. Bowen, president of the Texas branch of the union, and that President Barrett of the national organization, was not present. Smith said he heard many arguments at the meeting about the bad effect free sugar would have on the cotton indus try. “I thought I was in the wrong place,” said Smith. “It was more of a manufacturers’ meeting than a farmers’, ” suggested Overman. “Yes, sir, so much so that I made a speech about it,” said Smith. Smith explained later that he tele graphed to Senator Bacon not to go into the Democratic caucus until it was as sured that a duty would be put on meats and other farm products. Smith said when he got back to Geor gia he found he had been “mixed up with a bad crowd.” He then learned, he said, that the meeting was really called to work against free sugar. His letters to Bacon and Smith were requests that the farmers interests be looked after. H. H. Mobley, of Prairie Grove, Ark., president of the state farmers’ union, said he was at the New Orleans meet ing. Bowen, who called the meeting, he said, had been named chairman of a committee on the greater consump tion of cotton,” named by the national union at its last annual meeting. He did not go to New Orleans until the meeting was over, he said, but he was told it had been interesting. THINGS WRONG AT NEW ORLEANS. He got a general idea that some quick work was to be done in tariff matters to boost cotton prices. He signed a telegram to the Arkan sas senators at Bowen’s dictation ask ing for a hearing for Arkansas cotton interests. “There is a suspicion in my mind that things were not just what they ought to have been, but I don’t know much about it,” said Mobley. “I’m slow to make accusations,” said Mobley,, “but I have come to know that at all our meetings, state and national, we were surrounded by men whcN want ed us to do something for their inter ests. “I feel like Mr. Smith, that there was something wrong at New Orleans.” “You saw no suggestion that indi cated bad faith on the part of Bowen?” asked Cummins. “No, sir.” Mobley said he thought Bowen paid the expense of the meeting and that he would be reimbursed by the national farmers’ union. HAWAII SUGAR INVOLVED. A. D. Baldwin, an attorney of Cleve land, interested in Haiwaiian sugar stock, also was called. He said he had nothing to do wtih the literature sent out by the Hawaiian sugar men. In Washington, he said, he represented Alexander & Baldwin, of New York, at $30 a day, while here. “Can’t you tell all you did do here?” asked Chairman Overman. “I called oh senators and representa tives. I shouldn’t suppose I called on more than twenty senators. I sent written arguments to senators, * but made no arguments before • the sub committee in charge of sugar. “We had a comrapn cause with the cane and beet men and consulted with them frequently about the general cam paign.” "What do you mean by the cam paign?” asked Senator Overman. “There was an effort to convince sen ators and representatives and a publici ty campaign.” “Do you feel you have been earning your $30 a day here?” asked Senator Walsh. . “I very much doubt it.” William Whitman, of Boston, former pfesident of the National Association of Wool. Manufacturers, was the first wool man to take the stand. The output of the Arlington mills, of which he is president, he put at between 540,000 and, 600,000 pounds of cotton yarn a week and its capacity at 400,000 pounds of wool a week. He said the wool mills, had not been running at capacity on account of poor market. (By Associated Press.) LONDON, July 10.—An “arson squad” of militant suffragettes burned down the country residence of Sir William H. Lever, founder of Port Sunlight and chairman of the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, early today. The mansion, known as “The Bungalow,” was ‘situated at Rivington, near Nor wich, Lancashire. It was not occupied by the family, but contained valuable paintings and other precious objects, all of which were consumed. A message was left by the Incendiaries stating that if Sir William Lever had been as loyal to the suffragettes as Lancashire was to the king, who is now paying a visit to the industrial centers of the country, the fire would not have happened. Damage to Sir William * H. Lever’s residence amounted to over $100,000. MISS PANKHURST ARRESTED. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst, daughter of Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the suf fragette leader, was brought up at Bow street police court today and found guilty of inciting people to commit dis orders on June 29, when she led a mob to Downing street to raid the official residences of the premier and the chan cellor of the exchequer. She was ordered by the magistrate to find sureties in $12,000 for good be havior for a year, or as an alternative go to prison for three months. Miss Pankhurst refused to find bonds and elected to go to Holloway jail, declaring that she would at once start a hunger strike and also go without water. Arch ibald Bodkin, prosecuting for the treas ury, said the authorities did not desire to punish her, but merely to prevent her making inflammatory speeches. ZELIE EMERSON “INCITES” RIOT. Miss Zelie Emerson, of Jackson, Mich., Miss Mary Richardson and Harry Gold en, a male sympathizer with the^ woman suffrage movement, who were arrested last evening, while trying to liberate Miss Sylvia Pankhurst from the hands of the police at Bromley, were all sent to jail by the police magistrate. Miss Elmerson, who the police testified, had incited a mob of 500 obstructionists by shouting, “What are you going to do?” was given a month’s hard labor, and Harry Golden received a similar sen tence, but Miss Richardson, who had as saulted the police and broken a window at the police station, was sentenced for three months. The prisoner’s only com ment was, ‘We shall do just as much as we choose.” Later Miss Emerson and Golden were returned to court and fined $10 each and, contrary to the suffragettes’ custom, the fines were paid. Miss Pankhurst, who defended herself, called out in court: “Revolt is the only way left to us. There will be rebellion and the east will march toward the west with sticks and stones. If you drag me back to prison under the infamous ‘cat and mouse act.’ I shall continue to protest as long as life lasts. Very probably some of us will die, but all say it is worth it.” WOULD QUELCH FEDERALS BY GUNS AND STARVATION Gen, Cabral; Leader of Insur gent Forces, Expects Guay- mas to Fall Soon (By As cciat»d Press.) NOGALES, Ariz., July 10.—Starvation and artillery are forces upon w hich the constitutionalists are depending to obtain the ultimate surrender of tile federals at Guaymas, according to Gen eral Juan C. Cabral, of the insurgent forces, who reached Nogales late last night from the beleaguered gulf port. Cabral said he expected Guaymas to capitulate at any hour, as the consti tutionalists were doing deadly work with their artillery and were aided in their attack by hunger of the federals, whose supplies of provisions and ammu nition were practically exhausted. Cabral declared the report that fed eral gunboats at Guaymas had joined the constitutionalists was baseless. Young American Killed In Battle on July 4 (By Associated Press.) PORT ARTHUR, Tex., July 10.—Fight ing between the Mexican federals and Zapatistas took place at Tuxpan July 4, in which a young American attached to the consular office was shot and killed, according to Captain O’Gill, master of the British steamer Bloomfield, which arrived late yesterday.

A For Infants and Children, the Kind You Have Always Bought Bears the Signature of Wasteful Financial Manage ment Resulted in Deficit of $930,000 Instead of Divi dend, Says Report FIFTY-MILE HARRIER TO STOP WEEVIL PROPOSED (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, July 10.—Financial operations of the New York, New Haven and Hartford railroad, its ownership of trolley lines and control of allied New England railways, are condemned In un measured terms by the interstate com merce commission in the report of its investigation made public here today. The commission’s conclusions are: That the “outside” financial manage ment has been “wasteful in the ex treme,” and that had the New Haven confined itself to actual railroad activi ties under the same conditions that pre vailed In other respects “it could have paid a dividend of 8 per cent for the fiscal year 1912 and carried to surplus account $1,794,000, instead of showing a deficit of $930,000.” That the New Haven’s agreement with the Boston and Albany is “violative of the spirit of the statute against the restraint of competition and should be cancelled.” “In our opinion,” says the commission, “this line should be kept entirely fTee from New Haven con trol.” That the New Haven should divest itself of its trolley lines, not because the present ownership is in violation of law, but because such ownership might be used to prevent the building of com peting lines in the future. That the Boston and Maine’s merger with the New Haven, if permitted to stand, will result in “an almost exclu sive monopoly of transportation facili ties by railroads in the greater part of New England.” That passenger train service, without considering safety of operation, on the New Haven, is distinctly better than any other line entering New York, and that of the Boston and Maine equally as good. Both roads, however, are crit icised adversely for lack of steel cars. That the freight service of the Bos ton and Maine "is much less reliable than that of either the Pennsylvania or the Baltimore and Ohio, while that of the New Haven is slightly inferior to the Pennsylvania, but about on a par with the Baltimore and Ohio.” That passenger fares in New England have been more favorable to the local traveling public than in any other por tion of the United States. That “any betterment of railroad conditions must begin with the assur ance that the New Haven management will act not only prudently, but within the letter and the spirit of the law.” NO ORDER MADE. No order was made by the commis sion, but in its opinion, the following propositions, which have national ap plication to all railroads, lie at the foundation of adequate railroad regula tion: “Every interstate railroad should be prohibited from expending money or in curring liabilities or acquiring property not in the operation of its railroad or in the legitimate improvement, exten sion or development of that railroad. “No interstate railroad should be per mitted to lease or purchase any other railroad, nor to acquire the stocks or securities of any other railroads, nor to guarantee the same, directly or in directly, without the approval of the federal government. “No stocks or bonds should be issued by an interstate railroad except for the purposes sanctioned in the two pre ceding paragraphs, and none should be issued without the approval of the fed eral government.” Commissioners Clements and Marble submitted a concurring opinion, in which they “agree heartily with the report,” but make their position clear as to some of the issues mentioned. Concerning the merger of the New Haven and the Boston and Maine, they assert that “this is a phase of the sub ject that should be left to the congress, just as the issues under the anti-trust law have been left to the courts. If it were properly to be considered here, however, we would give weight to the suggestion that the merger has so over loaded the executive heads of the en tire aggregation as to impair not only correct and economize financial admin istration, but also efficiency and safety of operation. The Boston and Maine and the New Haven are shown by the report to be separable organically. They are not one system, but two systems under one management. Therefore closer superintendence, with correspond ing gains in efficiency and safety, might be expected from a dissolution of the merger. “No competition between carriers is unimportant. Moreover, any suppres sion of competition involves larger is sues, which must be discussed by those who are charged with the duty of legis lation. “The proposed continuation of the in quiry into the matter of increases in rates ought to be held in advance of the posting of such rates for the in formation of the shippers who must pay them. The report strongly sug gests that increased net income for the Boston and Maine should be secured by a reform in expenditures rather than by an increase of rates.” ORIGIN OF ENQUIRY. The inquiry resulting in today’s report was begun about a year ago by the commission upon its own initiative, in consequence of numerous and persistent complaints of the railroad rates, regu lations and service in New England. The carriers particularly investigated were the New York, New Haven and Hart ford, the Boston and Maine, and the Maine Central. Months were devoted to examination of books and accounts and thirty-seven days were devote to public hearings, in the course of which more than 6,000 pages of testimony were taken. Senator Plans to Fix Strip in Alabama Where No Cotton Is Grown CAUGHT HIDING IN ROOM Plucky Tifton Woman Stops Flight of Negro Found Under Bed WASHINGTON, July 10.—Plans for the federal government to raise a barrier against the boll weevil of the southeast ern cotton states invading the Atlantic coast states are being drafted by Sen ator Smith, of South Carolina. Secre tary Houston, of the department of ag riculture, is said to have given the prop osition his tentative approval. Senator Smith’s plan is for the federal government, with state co-operation, to prohibit the growing of cotton in a belt which would separate the Atlantic coast states from the southwestern states. As the boll weevil migrates only from cot ton field to cotton field, the senator be lieves this belt would save the states to the east of it from the pest, which has cost cotton raisers to the southwest millions of dollars' annually. According to investigation already made, the narrowest belt where a bar rier might be raised would be in Ala bama between the mountains near the Tennesee line and the gulf. This would be a distance of about 150 miles. The boll weevily already has swept over Texas, Qklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas, and is said to be traveling eastward into Alabama. Senator Smith is preparing to urge upon the senate that this nar row belt will be a practical barrier if immediate action is taken to establish it. If effective, it would protect most of Alabama and all of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and North Carolina from the weevil. The barrier to be effective must be fifty miles wide, it is believed. The growing of cotton in that zone would be prohibited, but the farmers could raise any other crops. Senator Smith’s plan is to have the federal government compensate the farmers in this zone for not planting cotton. He is investigating the action of the federal government in stamping out yellow fever in Louisiana and in es tablishing forest reserves for the con servation of resources in order to have precedents for his plan. Senator Smith today consulted Sena tor Kern, of Indiana, the Democratic leader, and won his approval to a feasi ble plan to accomplish the desired ob ject. TIFTON Ga., July 10.—Mrs. I. B.
