ATLANTA, GA., FEIDAY, JULY 18, 1913.
NO. 85.
Mr, Garrison Says His Trip to
Atlanta Is Purely One of In
spection-Refuses to Discuss
Matters Generally
LOST—One secretary of war, together
with a chief of staff and a colonel in
the army. And they were, at that, too,
lost in the wilderness of Fort McPher
son and the surrounding country for an
hour or more Thursday morning while
other members of the visiting party
•ought them vainly with other auto
mobiles and finally abandoned the at
tempt to follow and returned to post
headquarters to await there the return
of the secretary and his immediate es
cort.
They turned up presently, finishing just
at 11 o’clock an inspection tour that
had consumed nearly three hours and
that had taken them to every portion
of the army reservation and to other
lands adoining it.
Secretary Lindley M. Garrrison made
in this manner his first inspection of a
government army post and began his
tour of all the posts in the country.
His purpose is to study each of them
(or rather som e forty out of the forty-
nine now occupied) in order that he
may direct a wise reduction of their
number and the concentration of their
garrisons into larger groups at fewer
points. ,
BRIGADE POST PROBABLE.
That Fort McPherson may be one of
those points was indicated by the sec
retary’s thorough survey of it and its
surroundings Thursday morn'ing. Mr.
Garrison declined to commit himself,
however, to any comment whatever
upon McPherson’s chances to become a
brigade post.
Nor would he talk at all upon the
Mexican situation. On that topic he
was as dumb of the Sphinx.
In conversation upon other subjects,
however, he proved himself the affable
dignitary that he has been reputed to
be.
Accompanying: the secretary of war
was the chief of staff, Major General
Leonard Wood: the chief of the quarter
master corps. Major General J. B. Ale-
shire: Captain S. J. Bayard Schindel, of
the general staff of the army, and Mr.
aGrrison’s civilian secretary, W. T
Pedigo.
The party arrived in Atlanta early
Thursday morning, coming directly
from Washington. Breakfasting at the
new Hotel Ansley. they were met by
General R. K. Evans, of Atlanta, com-
manding the Second brigade. First divi
sion, of the army, and by General
Evans’ aids. Lieutenant Albert S. J.
- Todr*-'—Th'eT'were ‘takef! immediately
out to the fort in automobiles, and spent
the remainder of the forenoon until 11
o’clock on their inspection tour,. Colonel
J, T. Van Orsdale, commanding the
Seventeenth infantry, escorting them
Completing their work, they rested
upon the piazza of Colonel Van Ors-
dale’s quarters, where the officers of the
Seventeenth were presented to them.
A buffet luncheon was served to the
secretary and his party by General Ev
er i at his home, 665 Peachtree. Later
in the afternoon Mr. Garrison and his
party were taken upon a tour of the
city and its suburbs by Wilmer L.
Moore, president of the chamber of
commerce.

Official Records Sent to Texas
for Safe. Keeping-Consul Is
' Said to Have Reported Dis
covery of Plot to Washington
(By Associated Press.)
EAGLE PASS. Tex., July 17.—It is
said here on good authority that United
States Consul Luther Ellsworth, at
Piedras Negras, Mexico, opposite Eagle
Pass, has reported to Washington the
discovery, of a plot to dynamite the
American consulate, and that his life
is in imminent danger.
Consul Ellsworth now takes refuge at
the army post in Eagle Pass at nights
The official records of the consulate
were removed to the American side for
safe keeping yesterday.
Ellsworth reported to Washington
that he has been reliably informed that
the alleged conspiracy was hatched
among constitutionalist leaders in
Piedras Negras.
The consulate was removed recently
from the main street to the bank of the
Rio Grande, where it commands a full
view of the American bank. Since dis
covery of the alleged conspiracy a guard
of United States troops has been sta
tioned at night on the American side
and a code of lanterns arranged with
the consulate.
In case of a call for help Gionsulat,
the guard, was instructed to notify the
commanding officer immediately. Mr.
Ellsworth, however, has been spending
his nights on the American side. The
constitutionalist commandant Calzado,
when told of the alleged conspiracy, as
sured the consul he need have no fear,
ashe was “among honorable people and
not among bandits.”
General Jesus Carranza has given his
personal pledge for the safety of the
Americans.
No Report Received
By State Department
(By Aisociated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July , 17.—Late to
day the state department had received
no report of the alleged plot to dyna
mite the consulate at Piedras Negras.

has the discussion was of a whQlly un

Failed to Get Constitutional
Majority of 123
Votes
Candler county met defeat in the
house of , representatives Thursday
morning when the bill for its creation
failed to get the necessary constitu
tional majority of 123 votes. The vote
on the measure was 83 to 80 in favor of
its passage.
A call for the previous question, the
effect of which was to prevent the op
ponents of the county from addressing
the house, aroused some opposition to
the bill from sources not expected, and
caused it to receive a smaller vote than
it might otherwise have obtained.
A motion to reconsider the action of
the house was made and the question
will probably come up again at an early
date.
SMITH HERE
TO
Speaks in House Chamber on
Friday-Receives Friends
v at Piedmont
Senator Hoke Smith arrived in At
lanta Thursday morning- from Washing
ton, in response to an invitation from
the general assembly to address the
lawmakers Friday at noon in the house
chamber at the capitol.
This will be the first opportunity
Senator Smith has had to address a
body of his 'constituents since he was
elected to the senate, and he will em
brace this opportunity to give an ac
count of his stewardship.
Senator Smith has taken r6oms at the
Piedmont hotel, where he will be glad
to receive his constituents during his
stay in the city. He expects to return
to Washington either on Saturday or
Sunday.
The senator declined to make further
rc-ply to the attacks leveled at him by
Congressman Thomas M. Bell regarding
the Gainesville postmastership. He said
his statement of a few days ago con
tained all he cared to say upon the sub
ject.
REPEATS FORMER STATEMENT.
In that statement the senator said:
“I told Mr. Bell that I would vote for
the confirmation V as postmaster at
Gainesville of any one whose name was
sent to the seriate. It was entirely too
much for him to ask that I should aid
Mr. Hardy in obtaining the appoint
ment, especially since, in the interest
of harmony, I had declined to interfere
in behalf of my own friends in this
very matter.
“In this connection I wish to state
that it has been my policy whenever I
made a recommendation at all in refer
ence to appointments in Georgia to
secure efficient service from the govern
ment, and at the same time to repay as
far as possible the political obligations
I owe to my friends. Surely no con
gressman can complain of this. It is
the rule they all adopt and is one that
properly suggests itself to every man
with a spark of gratitude in him.
“I have endeavored at all times to
recognize the rights and obligations of
my colleagues in both houses. There
has been absolutely no disposition or
purpose here, so far as I know, on the
part of any one to exclude from recog
nition those Georgia Democrats who
saw fit to oppose the president in the
recent primary in an honorable and
proper manner, and any statement to
the contrary-is -entirely unfounded.
“I have, however; insisted, and shall
continue to insist. that nowhere in
Georgia men be discriminated against
because they have been supporters of
the president or of myself, and I think
it but my simple duty to see that they
have a fair and just proportion of the
appointments.”
Senator Smith expressed the opinion
that the tariff bill would become a law
within the next six weeks, and that
congress would then speedily enact a
banking and currency law.
hairman Wallace Miller, of the joint
committee, which arranged for Senator
Smith’s address, states that the public
is invited to be present. The house gal
lery will be given over to the public.

trusts and please Wall street so that
he can get their support for his candi

meeting at Mr. Foraker’s house, com
posed of senators “who will oppose the
president and his policies at the Chi
cago convention.” He added that he
was told to work against Maryland del
egates being instructed for Taft.

(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, July 17.—Cracksmen
took jewelry valued at between $20,000
and $30,000 early today after blowing

taining a more valuable collection of
jewels withstood attempts to open it

they worked at their leisure. Three
safes in all were shattered, but a big
vault containing gold and loose dia
monds defied them. They left behind
enough burglar tools to fill a small
wagon.

SOFIA, Bulgaria, July 17.—The Ru
manians today took possession of the
cable station at Varna, on the Black
sea, and thus control communication
with Sebastopol. As the railway be
tween the coast and Sofia has been cut.
Bulgaria cannot communicate with the
outside world except through Servia
and Rumania.
By forced marches the Turkish army
is approaching the town §f Kirk-Kil* J
lisseh, taken by the Bulgarians after
heavy fighting at the beginning of the
Balkan war. Many of the population
are reported to be fleeing.
An official dispatch reports the de
feat by the Bulgarians of Servian forces
which had penetrated Bulgarian terri
tory on the western frontier. The Bul
garians attacked yesterday, dispersing
the Servians, who are retreating toward
Vlasina. across the border.
Another dispatch says severe losses
have been inflicted on the Greek army
operating on the Bulgarian left flank.
King Ferdinand today personally tele
graphed King Charles of Rumania that
Bulgaria was ready to negotiate terms
of settlement with Rumania.
Efforts of A. Malinoff, democratic j

Reports of Atrocities
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, July 17.—King Ferdi
nand, of Bulgaria, denies emphatically
the horrifying atrocities attributed in
various quarters to the Bulgarian troops
during their retreat before the Greek
armies marching through Macedonia.
His majesty cabled the following mes
sage through the Bulgarian royal private
secretariat today:
'Associated Press, New York.
“Sofle, July 17.—All the rumors
about Bulgarian atrocities are infamous
Greek calumnies, destined tq poison uni- I
versal public opinion ,and in regard to
which the truth will be established one

SAVANNAH, aG., July 17.—Lathrop
George, the man who killed Hefrry j.
McClelan, in the house occupied by
George’s wife on Tuesday afternoon
George said he had been forced to
leave his wife because of the attention
McClellan paid her.
George changed his story to the coro
ner’s jury very decidedly from what he
first told.
The coroner stated that only one bul-<
let took effect and that death was caus?
ed by a hemmorrhage of the lungs
brought on by the piercing of the breast
by this single bullet. The other shots
fired went wild, one going out of the
window.
Mrs. George seems more distressed
at the death of McClellan than &t the
fate of her husband. Instead of going
to the barracks and the jail to see
George yesterday she went to the un
dertaker’s to bid farewell to her dead
friend. She was much affected and
wept audibly.
George has the advantage In his case
of not having any eyewitnesses to the
shooting. He is the only man who can
tell about it. He was very accommodat
ing yesterday.

James A, Gray, Attorney for
New York Barber, Declares
His Client Won’t Come to
Georgia Without Fight
That Frederick Lumb, charged with
complicity in the murder of Joshua B.
Crawford In a warrant sworn out by
one of the claimants to a portion of
the Crawford estate, will fight extradi
tion to Georgia, was learned Thursday
afternoon.
James A. Gray, who has been retain
ed by Lumb to represent him, wired
The Journal Jn response to a telegram
from this paper, that from the infor
mation he had gained about the case as
reported in the Ndw York newspapers
he would certainly advise his client to
fight extradition.
Although Lumb has retained counsel
and could probably be located, no effort
seems to have been made to arrest'him,
and no request has been made of the
governor for requisition papers. With
Lumb refusing to come back to Georgia
it will be impossible to bring him hero
unless a requisition is secured and hon
ored by the governor of New York.
Lumb is a barber to whom Mrs.
Crawford is alleged to have at one tiras
been engaged. In fact, it is charged by
those behind the warrants swore out
against her and Lumb that they were
in a plot to kill Crawford and then to
get married, thus securing Crawford’s
money. Mrs. Crawford declares that '
Lumb was only a casual acquaintance,
that she was not engaged to him and
that this talk about a plot to murder
her late husband is ridiculous.
Personalities were skirted by lawyrfs
on the. stand before Auditor James L.
Anderson Thursday morning, in the
Crawford will case, when P. H. Brew
ster, Luther Z. Rosser, Burton Smith,
and Reuben Arnold, members of counsel
for Mrs. Mary Belle Crawford, widow
of Joshua B. Crawford whose estate is
in litigation, challenged a charge by J.
S. James, of opposing counsel, that the
settlement of previous suits in the case
had resulted from "a nefarious scheme
to defraud certain rightful heirs.”
Order was restored by Auditor Ander
son, but not before the statement had
been read from the records by the court
reporter and had been stricken from
those records.- ,
Colonel Brewster, who had testified, lh
behalf of Mrs. Crawford, was leaving
the stand when he stopped to recall the
alleged statement by Mr. James.
"I demand that an apology be made
to this court,” said he.
Mr. James said that If he had made
the statament, he did not mean It. The
court reporter read the passage to which)
objection had been raised.
Luther Z. Rosser succeeded Mr. Brew
ster on the stand. Before beginning his
testimony, he leaned across the table
toward Mr. James and said:
“If any further reference is madj to
‘nefarious schemes’ In this caBe, I will
consider it a personal affront.”
Mr. James was authority afterward
for the statement that there probably
will be other warrants issued in the
criminal phase of the case. Mrs. Mary
Belle Crawford is held now on a justice
court warrant charging that she murd
ered Mr. Crawford; and Fred Lump, of
New York, is being sought on another
warrant that oharges him with being an
accessory before the alleged murder.
