the adjutant general's office to say
whether or not he is right.
The governor did not call off the en

NOT m ATTORNEY
-Expense Incurred While At

tion Will Not Be Paid
COLUMBIA. S. C., July 28.—Comp
troller General Jones this morning de
clined to pay an expense account of
about $200 which Attorney General
Peeples presented for outlay incurred
while attending the convention of the
attorneys general recently held in
Charleston. The account included an
Item of $150 for a smoker given the
convention and expenses Incurred by
the attorney general and his assistant
for trips to Charleston in arranging
the preliminaries. The comptroller
general says the legislature made no
appropriation for anything other than
the actual expenses of the attorney
general incurred while attending the
meeting, and sent the account back to
him, saying only about $25 was all that
could be legally paid and asking him
to revise it accordingly.
HERE’S A GOOD CHANCE
TO MAKE BIG MONEY
Government Wants Americans
to Raise Foxes in
Alaska
NEW YORK, July 28.—Several Ca
nadians have written to the department
of commerce seeking to buy some of the
blue and silver foxes from the govern
ments preserves in Alaska, but no citi
zen oL the United States has made sim
ilar request, although the department
is anxious to get Americans to go in for
fox breeding.
Assitant Secretary Sweet declared to
day that good profits await those who
take up the industry. The government,
he said* has several small islands off
the Alaskan coast, which it will lease
to any- one who desires them for fox
farming, and at the same time the gov
ernment will furnish breeding animals
at low prices.
There_ are several fox-raising estab
lishments in Canada, said Mr. Sweet,
which are reported to be making big
profits, and as the skins bring fancy
prices in London, the center of the fur
selling trade, he thought citizens of the
United States should be reaping part
of the returns.
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON. D. C., July 28.—It
was learned today on good authority
that the nomination of Adam E. Pat
terson, an Oklahoma negro, for register
of the treasury, was sent to the senate
on Friday through an inadvertence.
Prominent Democratic senators, who
view the nomination with misgiving
were much relieved when they returned
today and they are hopeful that the
negroe’s name will be withdrawn by
the president.
In connection with the Patterson nom
ination it was learned today also that
Senator Hoke Smith is opposed to his
confirmation and has an appointment at
the White House Monday morning for
the conference with the president about
the matter. He will voice a protest
against the selection of negroes of
federal offices and will urge Mr. Wil
son to withdraw Patterson’s name.
The president, it is understood was
moved to the consideration of a negro
for register of the treasury not through
a personal desire to recognize the black
race, but because of representations to
him that political expediency demanded
that the negroes be given some rec
ognition by the administration. North
ern Democrats in both the senate and
house who look with favor on Patter
son's nomination are understood to
have urged the importance of giving
this place to a negro as a reward to the
black race for its friendliness to the
Democratic party in close northern
states.
The office—register of the treasury—
is claimed by the negroes as their ex
clusive patronage. For many years
it has been held by a negro. The re
tiring register, James C. Napier, of
Tennessee, is a negro, as was his pre
decessor. The office was once held by
Judson Lyons, a negro, of Augusta.
The opposition to negroes for federal
offices is general among southern Dem
ocrats in the senate and should the
president be unable to find a way out
of appointing them, it is safe to say
that all such nominations will have a
rough road to travel toward confirma
tion.
Senator Bacon, like his colleague, is
opposed to nominations of negroes, and
their objections are shared by Senators
Simmons, of North Carolina; Tillman
and Smith, of South Carolina; Fletcher,
of Florida; Williams and Vardeman, of
Mississipi, and many others.
These senators will urge that the
nomination be withdrawn and if the
president fails to do so they will or
ganize an opposition to confirmation.

Prizes Amounting to $400
Have Been Raised-Crops in
Fine Shape
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
JACKSON, Ga., July 28.—Prizes
amounting to about $400 have been rais
ed in Jackson and Butts county for the
members of the Corn club, farmers as
well as business men having given lib-
eraly to the fund. The prize list has
not yet been made up and all the con
tributions are not in, two or three of
the district committees not having re
ported. This will swell the total con
siderably.
This is the second year of the Corn
club work in Butts county and results
greater than expected are being accom
plished. Last year the club had only
thirty-two members, while over fifty
joined this year.
The boys are said to have their work
well in hand and some good yields are
expected this fall. The highest yield
last year was ninety-two bushels, and
a new record will probably be made
by the members of the club in 1913.
Rev, Chas, S, Davidson, For
merly of Atlanta, Burns
His Vestments
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., .July 28.—
Burning his vestments and prayer book
at the gate of historic Monticello, Rev.
Charles Steele Davidson, for ftve years
rector of St. Mark’s Episcopal church,
Cleveland, Ohio, and later pastor of
churches in Brooklyn and Atlanta, re
nounced the ministry and in a written
statement caustically criticised the
Episcopal church, which he leaves.
Dr. Davidson is a son of Captain
Hunter Davidson, who did torpedo
service on the James river during the
Civil War and later was sent to investi
gate the Franco-Prussian war in 1871
by President Grant.
Briefly, his statement says: “Here
on Friday, the 25th of July, 1913, at the
gate of Monticello, at the home of the
apostle of the people’s political free
dom, I burn the vestments of an im
portant priesthood, the empty emblems
of ecclesiasticism, the mockeries of
royal priesthood. Here I burn the
prayer book, the fetish of a false wor
ship, the idol of the diluted word of
God.’’
Dr. Davidson says he retains the
ministry, which he received from the
Lord Jesus, and says the Bible is a
sufficient guide book to all men.

TIFT COUNTY FARMERS
PLANNING BIG MEETING
(Special Dispatch to The Journal.)
TIFTON, Ga., July 28.—A meeting of
the farmers, corn club boys and busi
ness men of Tift county has been called
for Saturday, August 2, at the Tifton
chamber of commerce. The purpose of
the meeting is to discuss plans and
methods for harvesting and marketing
the crops.
The farmers will tell their experiences
of the year at the meeting and discuss
crop conditions and methods of fertili
zation and cultivation. The corn club
boys will tell how it is that they can
beat their fathers growing corn and do
it cheaper.
One of the important matters to be
considered at the meeting will be the
establishment of a truck packing house
and the employment of experienced
packers to pack Tift county’s truck.
Tift county truckers are determined that
all truck from this county shall be of
standard grade 'and packed by experi
enced men. It is quite certain- that a
packing ,house will • be established be
fore next spring.
Thift meeting will probably be the be
ginning of a series of farmers’ insti
tutes which will continue throughout
the year.
BELIEVE NEW YORK COP
COMMITTED SUICIDE
(By Associated Press.)
NEW YORK, July 28.—The belief ex
pressed yesterday that Policeman James
E. Cahill, who was found dead in the
yard of St. Matthews Catholic church
in Brooklyn Monday morning, had com
mitted suicide, is now the definite con
clusion reached by Deputy Police Com
missioner Dougherty, who took personal
charge of the inquiry into the supposed
killing of the policeman by burglars.
If Cahill killed himself, he staged the
act with dramatic cunning, for in the
church door was found a burglar’s jim
my and the policeman’s body bore three
stab wounds, as well as a bullet wound.
A motive for the staging of a bur
glary to cover a suicidal act is* seen
by the police in the fact that if Cahill
had been killed on duty his widow would
have received, as is customary in such
instances, nearly $20,000 in death bene
fits. The members of the Cahill family
still refuse to accept the theory, how
ever, . that the policeman committed
suicide.

TO DEATH:
JS INJURED
Miss Bessie Lyon, *19 Years
Old, Dies of Burns She Re
ceived at Her Home on Wed
nesday Afternoon
Miss Bessie Lyon, nineteen years old,
of 349 Capitol avenue, passed away
Thursday night from burns she received
Wednesday afternoon at her home, and
her mother, Mrs. Lillie Lyon, is in a
serious condition from burns sustained
by herself when she attempted vainly
to save the young woman.
At the time of the accident Miss
Lyon and her mother were alone in the
family’s apartment on the second floor
of the address given. Miss Lyon was
burning some trash in the grate. For a
moment she turned away from the
flames, says her mother, and her skirt
caught. Almost instantly she was en
veloped in fire. Mrs. Lyon attempted
to beat it out with her bare hands, but
could accomplish nothing, and her
daughter, screaming, ran downstairs,
where B. Clein, whose family occupies
the lower portion of the residence,
caught her and smothered the fire with
rugs and quilts.
Miss Lyon was removed to the Geor
gian hospital, four blocks away, and
her burns were dressed at once. In
spite of the best of attention, she sank
gradually. At 1 o’clock Thursday aft
ernoon she became unconscious. At 9:30
o’clock Thursday evening she died.
Miss Lyon was the daughter of Mr.
Robert L. Lyon, superintendent of the
Austell building. A sister, Miss Annie
Lee Lyon, and one brother, Robert L.
Lyon, Jr., survive her, in addition to
her parents. She had attended, the pub
lic schools of the city, being a pupil
most recently at Marietta Street school.
But for some time past she had been
studying music with particular atten
tion to vocal culture. She was a mem
ber of the Capitol Avenue Baptist Sun
day school.
The body will be sent to Ball Ground,
Ga., Saturday for funeral and interment,
and a deputy, to make bond later in the
evening.
The case will be brought before the
next grand jury.
MR. JACKSON’S STATEMENT.
Saturday evening Mr. Jackson tele
phoned The Journal to state that sev
eral gentlemen, who were then in his
office, agreed that it would be at mat
ter of impossibility for him to have
made such an attempt as is charged to
him, in his office.
More than half of the door is trans
parent, he says, and passers-by can
easiyl see in the office.
If I were knave enough” says Mr.
Jackson, “ to attempt this thing of
which they faalsely accused me, cer
tainly I would not be fool enough to
attempt it here.’’
Mr. Jackson states that the charge
against him is an effort to injure his
work as the leader and organizer of the
Juvenile Protective association, which
he says now has spread to six different
states.
“No one knows anything about what
occurred in the office except the girl
and myself,” he said. “It is a question
of which one of us is telling the truth.
Many of the best citizens of Atlanta
know me and know that I am incapable
of such a thing as is charged so falsely
to me.”
Mr. J ckson stated that he had been
advised that the charge might be
dropped before it reached the grand
jury. He says that he hopes that It
will not be dropped as he wants it
sifted to the bottom and the truth
shown.
LAMAR SAYS HE’S “BUSY;”
CAN’T GO TO NEW YORK
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 28.—David La
mar, the “Wolf of Wall street,” who
is under indictment in New York on
two counts for impersonating public of
ficials, refused today to take the in
dictments seriously and intimated that
he had no immediate intention of re
turning to New York. Mr. Lamar sail
that he was so extremely “busy” here
that he could not afford to leave at the
present time. With his counsel, Henry
E. Davis, he is awaiting copies of the
true bills found against him before
making his plans.
Lamar admitted before the senate
“lobby” investigating committee that
he had impersonated Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer, of Pennsylvania;
Speaker Clark and other well-known
public men in telephone conversations
with Wall street rivals in an effort to
advance his own schemes.

Criticise Refusal to
Send American Fleet
PEKING, July 28.—The refusal of
Rear Admiral Reginald of the Nichol
son, commander-in-chief of the Amer
ican Asiatic fleet, to send* American ma
rines to Ku-Ling is generally criticised
in non-military circles here, although
the German and British admirals are
reported to agree with Admiral Nich
olson.
An American guard wasat flrstagreed
agreed upon by the British, German
and American legations owing to Chi
neses suspicions as to the disinterest
edness of other nationalities.
Ku-Ling is a high mountain town
near Kiu-Kiang, where thousands of
foreigners, mostly British and Ameri
can women and children, take refug6
from the summer heat and diseases of
central China.
The only danger at Ku-Ling arises
seemingly from outlaws and dispersed
soldiers attempting to loot. The ad
miral has offered to escort the foreign
ers to the river, but refuses to detach
a small guard.

FEW CHALLENGES FOR
MULHALL STATEMENTS
Lobbyist's Story Will Stand
Practically Without Cross-
Examination by Democrats
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, July 28.—Martin M.
Mulhall’s story of his lobbying activi
ties for the National Association of
Manufacturers, as unfolded before the
senate lobby committee, is to be allowed
to stand practically without cross-
questioning from Democratic members
of the committee.
Senators Nelson and Cummins, who
yesterday began a severe questioning of
the witness upon many of his statements,
probably will continue to demand more
detailed statements upon his letters as
they are introduced in the record, but
the Democratic members, Senators Over
man, Reed and Walsh, expect to let the
Mulhall story stand principally upon
the evidence presented in the 6,000 or
more letters.
Mulhall will go befort the house lob
by committee early next week and it is
expected that there he will be sub
jected to a rigid examination as to the
charges contained in his mass of corre
spondence, that members of the house
were his close associates in political
campaign work, and in efforts to head
off labor legislation. The senate com
mittee also has indicated that it will
not permit a general cross-examination
of Mulhall by attorneys or officers of
the manufacturers and these officials
will attempt to make Mulhall defend
his statements before the house com
mittee next week.

“There is a growing feeling,” said he.
explaining his argument, “thAt it

would suffice to meet any emergency

EBfll. COMER
LEADING A MOB
Sensational Climax of Bitter
Alabama Campaign for
Governor
^Special Dispatch tr The Journal.)
MONTGOMERY, Ala., July 28.—
Charging that B. B. Comer, former gov
ernor of Alabama and candidate for the
office again, led a mob in Calhoun
county in the late eighties for the pur
pose of lynching two men, Samuel P.
Kennedy, campaign manager for Charles
Henderson, has issued a reply to
Comer’s statement, in an address at
Attalla Thursday, that another gas steal
would come about if Kennedy were
named president of the railroad com
mission.
Mr. Kennedy’s answer was based on
newspaper reports of Comer's address
which contained this statement: “Mr.
Comer said that if Mr. Henderson were
elected governor Sam Kennedy would
be appointed president of the railroad
commission. ‘Think of it! Kennedy and
McCord. We would have Alamo gas
steal before you could say ‘scat.’ ” The
campaign manager declared he didn’t
know why Mr. Comer had directed an
attack at him.
“Just what Mr. Comer meant by such
a statement can only be accounted for
by his maddened condition brought about
by the defeat that is staring him in
the face.”
Ending the reply, Mr. Kennedy declar
ed that his good name was all he had
and he proposed to protect it. “I did
not have the opportunity or the inclina
tion to lay a foundation for a fortune
by selling whiskey to ‘niggers’ as did
this assassin of character,” said the
Henderson manager.
In the interview Mr. Kennedy asked
why he should be mentioned in connec
tion with the Alamo gas matter, which
caused a sensation in Alabama two
years ago when efforts were made to
prove that certain state officials were
given shares of stock in the gas com
pany in exchange for their influence in
certain deals.
“Why should I be menitoned in con
nection with the Alamo gas matter?”
asked Kennedy. “Surely not because
I am Henderson’s campaign manager.
What else, however, can be expected
from a mob leader—it is a well known
fact, or if it is not well known, I will
now try to make it known, that this
same ex-governor did himself lead a
mob in Calhoun county in the late
eighties for the purpose of lynching
two men, neither of whom ever was
tried or convicted for the offense for
which he wanted to lynch them—what
can be expected from such an unbalanc-
eu personality?
“When I ran for associate commis
sioner thre e years ago he said he would
support me, I don’t know whether he
did or not—two of his brothers did, I
know, for the fact that they told me
they would. I am not now running for
office and this attack on me by in
nuendo is uncalled for and no man of
integrity or of a temperament that
would fit him to hold any office would
have been guilty of such an offense.”
MATTIF0RD RELEASED
BY POLICE OF BOSTON
Arersted Friday in Boston, John D.
Mattiford, formerly of Atlanta, was re

night. John A. Barwick, the complain
ing witness in the indictment against
Mattiford alleging that he assisted in

children when he eloped with Mrs.
Barwick some months ago, will not

Barwick, now residing in New York,

has recovered the children, John A.,
Jr., and Dorothy Elizabeth, and that
he is satisfied. Barwick formerly was
