House Debated Over Six Hours
On Tax Reform Compromise.
Six hours and thirty minutes of de
bate, with the thermometer hovering
around 90 degrees was not very kindly
taken to by the members of the house
of representatives Friday, but there
was no way out of It after Representa
tive J. O. Adams, of Hall, had moved
the previous question on the tax bills
tax* before th# set hour of ad
journment, and had his motion sus
tained by the body.
Some of them got to thinking about
dinner and a small stampede began for
the exits. But it didn’t materialize.
Someone "tipped off" Speaker Burwell.
He brought his gavel down on the desk
with a crash, and in stentorian voice
gave instructions to MessengeraPaulk
to lock the doors and have his door
keepers scour the corridors for delin
quents and “arrest" them.
The fact that 175 votes were cast on
the first ballot is evidence that the
doors were shut just in time to retain
those desirous of playing “hookey.”
The fight for and against county
boards was just as determined as ever
during the morning, wheh the battle
began, but with the passing of the hour
of adjournment and no relief in sight,
interest began to lag and there was evi
dence that the members wanted to cle
cide something definitely as soon as
possible. »
Substitute after substitute had been
voted down, either viva voce or by di
vision. until the Sheppard substitut
came up. Here the yeas, and nays w*ere
called. The vote lasted 45 minutes,
with the result very much in doubt un
til the roll call was nearly completed.
It carried by the narrow margin of 96
'to 79.
Then came the final test, the passage
of the Lipscomb bill by substitute, the
bone of contention and naturally the
cause of all the trouble. And it was
on this vote that strange things hap
pened. As has been said, the substitute
alone had been carried by the advocates
of tsate equalization boards, and the
second ballot was for pracitcally the
same things, purely a matter of legis
lative formality to effect the passage
of the ways and means bill as embod
ied in the substitute of Mr. Sheppard.
All that was left of the original bill with
both state and county boards was the
caption and the repealing clause. The
apportion had shot away every salient
feature.
But the second vote did not tally
with the first. The Sheppard bill was
losing through virtue of the fact that
many of those who voted for it as a
substitute now opposed it as a bill, put
ting themselves on record as being
against tax reform in any shape. The
minority “caught on." Almost to a man
those -who had fought the original Lips
comb bill, and against the creation of
county boards alone, turned and sup
ported the bill by substitute, deter
mined, they declared in explaining their
votes, to secure some legislation, even
if it was not just what they wanted.
It was a compromise, and a bitter pill
to swallow, but the only course left to
pursue. And it passed only because its
opponents, sacrificing everything, turn
ed and voted for it.

then some, against a background of
brilliant red.

colors in open admiration.
Senate Committee on Appropriations
Cuts $95,000 Prom House Bill.
Through its -action of cutting $95,000
from the general appropriations bill of
the house, lowering the total amount
to $5,858,000, the senate appropriations
committee indicated that it would stand
squarely behind the action of the same
committee of the house and repudiate
any additions to the budget as origi
nally drafted.
The committee of the upper house
sliced off in all $110,000, but brought
the net reduction to the amount indi
cated by tacking on $15,000 additional
divided among the State Normal school
at Athens, the State Normal and Indus
trial school at Milledgeville and the
Georgia state sanitarium for the treat
ment of tuberculosis at Alto.
The appropriation for the first named
Institution was increased from $47,*500
to $50,000: the second from $52,500 to
$55,000. and for the treatment of tuber
cular Datients the appropriation of $20,-
000 was augmented with an additional
$5,000. Another $5,000 was given the
state board of health for the free dis
tribution of vaccine.
The common school fund was reduced
$50 000 and a like amount was pruned
from pensions. The action in reducing
the school appropriation merely places
the amount at the original figure sub
mitted in the sheet of the appropria
tions committee. The annual increase
of $50,000 tacked on by ttie house had
added to the budget enough to make
this appropriation the same as the year
before.’* The senate committee promptly
cut It off. This again brings the com
mon school appropriation to $2,500,000
and the pension fund from $1,070,000 to
$1,020,000.
The other cut amounted to only $10,-
000. which amount was taken from the
fund for extension work of the State
Agricultural college at Athens.
Rome Tribune-Herald Pays
Tribute to Representative Cole.
In Rome, the former home of Repre
sentative E. Q. Cole, of Bartow, vice
chairman of the house ways and means
committee, they seem to think a great
deal of their former citizen.
Commenting editorially on the
achievements of Mr. Cole, the Rome
Tribune-Herald says in part:-
"It Is not out of place for the Trib
une-Herald to go out of fts way for
the purpose of speaking a few com
mendatory words about a representa
tive from another county. Particular
ly is this true when it is considered
that the representative hails from an
adjoining county and was for a long
time a citizen of Rome. Representa
tive E. D. Cole, of Bartow county, who
is making a name for himself In the
Georgia legislature, lived for many
ye rs in Rome and still has large busi
ness nterests here.
"He began at the bottom of the lad
der, without money or influence, and
by his own unaided efforts has won
both fortune and fame. He is a typi
cal red-blooded American, pushing ener
getic, enterprising; he has won his
way to the front by sheer force, tenac
ity and ability. Elected a member of
the house of representatives from Bar
tow county at the last election and
leading the ticket, although a compara
tively new resident of the county, he
immediately forged to the front.
"Representative Cole is a fighter
among other propensities. When he
has once made up his mind on a ques
tion he stands by it with all the power
of sincere conviction. His many
friends in Rome have watched his
course in the legislature with profound
interest, and are much elated at his
Success.”
No Further Probe Into Killing
Of Augustans by Militia Ziikely
Contrary to expectations, there will
be no further legislative inquiry into
the killing of three citizens of Augus-
to by the militia during the street rail
way strike there last September. Last
week the house committee on military
affairs began a hearing of the Beck res
olution asking for a probe of the af
fair. Several witnesses were examin
ed and at adjournment it was stated
that, the committee again would take
up the resolution subject to the call
of the chairman, Representative Spence,
of Mitchell.
It became known Thursday afternoon,
however, that no further action would
be taken by the committee during this
session of the general assembly at any
rate, and it is doubtful whether the
proposed investigation will ever be re
opened
It is understood that the members
of the committee have come to the
conclusion that no results would come
from such an investigation and that it
would be purely a waste of time to at
tempt the inquiry.
The Gentleman From Upson
“Totes” His Own Fan.
The state very kindly furnishes its
legislators with large breezy palm leaf
fans with which to stave off suffocation
from the excessive heat. Representative
Sheppard, of Sumter, is never seen with

linens or a suit of pongee, manages to

Nearly all of the members, in fact
swear allegiance to the coolers. But far

Sequel To
Fight for Removal of Experiment
Station Goes Merrily on
With Athens and south Georgia
clamoring for the experiment station
and Griffin fighting to retain the insti
tution, the proposition confronting gen
eral agricultural committee No. 1 of
the house is one of the most difficult
of this session of the general assembly.
A second hearing of the south Geor
gia proposition was given Thursday aft
ernoon to the bill introduced by Repre
sentative Ellis, of Tift, and others.
Representative Connor, of Spalding, and
Senator Searcy, of Griffin, were present
in the interest of their constituents
and the fight was a merry one.
Rction by the committee was deferred
until next Tuesday, when the bill ask
ing the removal of the station to Ath
ens, to be made part of the State Agri
cultural college, comes up for consid
eration.
A that time all propositions will be
heard, and the general clamor for pos
session of the farm will be settled onco
and for all, so far as the committee is
concerned.
There Are Twenty-Two
Lawyers in the Senate
Of the nine different professions rep
resented by the various members of the
state senate, that of lawyer is the most
popular. You can’t throw a ball of pa
per three feet in the senate chamber
without hitting an attorney*. Some are
"railroad lawyers,” some are "damage
suit” lawyers, some are "just law
yers.”
More'overer, those who are lawyers are
proud of it, and those who are not law
yers are proud that they are not. The
senate orator either prefaces his speech
with the statement that “I am a law
yer,” or the statement, "Now, I am no
lawyer.”
Out' of the forty-four senators, twen
ty-two are lawyers, seven are farmers,
five are merchant-farmers, three are
doctors, one is a cotton broker, on6 is
an insurance man, two are bankers, one

Lav© for Doll
State’s Case Against Frank
As It Stands After Week’s
Testimony Is Shown Here
Most Important Points State Has Sought to Prove Are
1 hat Mary Phagan Was Killed Shortly A)ter Enter
ing Factory—That Crime Was’ on Second Floor, and
That Frank Was Not in His Office at the Time He
Says He Gave Her the Pay Envelope
A N entire week has been given over to the trial of Leo M. Frank,
charged with the murder of Mary Phagan, and so far the state has
not shown or attempted to show any direct connection on the part
of the defendant with the crime. Solicitor Dorsey has worked systemat
ically to weave a chain of circumstantial evidence about Frank.
Those who have watched the progress of the trial day by day are
^impressed, with the fact that he has endeavored by the introduction of
circumstantial evidence to pave I he way for the testimony of James
Conley, the negro sweeper, who will be the climax witness for the state
and upon whose evidence the case against Frank will largely stand or
fall.
The state swore but twenty-six witnesses when the trial began
Monday afternoon, but up to date it has called thirty and the indica
tions are that still others are to be put upon the stand. The defense
has not put up a single witness and can not* do so until the state rests
its case. However, Attorneys Rosser and Arnold, counsel for Frank,
have administered severe cross-examinations to the more material of
the state’s witnesses and in many instances have succeeded in minim
izing the evidence given by them on their direct examination.
The stalte has sought to show by its witnesses:
First. That Mary Phagan was murdered within an nour after
she left her home just before noon on April 26 to go to the pencil fac
tory for her pay.
Second. That she was rendered unconscious by a blow upon the
back of the head and that she died from strangulation.
Third. That she was murdered on the second or office floor of
the factory and that her body was taken to the basement on the ele
vator.
Fourth. That no one saw her enter or leave the factory and that
Frank was the only person who saw her while she was there.
Fifth. That at the exact hour Frank has stated that tne girl came
into his office he was himself absent from the office, although he claims
not to have left it from about 11 o’clock until between 12:30 and 1
o’clock.
Sixth. That the girl was not criminally assaulted, although she
had suffered some kind of violence five or ten minutes before her
death.
Seventh. That about 1 o’clock, several minutes after the murder
was committed, a negro was seen sitting on a box on the first floor
near the foot of the stairs.
Eighth. That on Sunday morning Frank was very nervous and
excited an& that he would not look upon the face of the dead girl when
he was taken to the undertaking establishment.

Crawf Wheatley Voted Twice
in the Same Place.
The fiouse was voting on one of the
numerous substitutes to the Lipscomb
tax equalization bill and Clerk Boifeuil-
let, as usual, was conducting the roll
call.
“Wheatey,” he called.
"Aye,” thundered the gentleman from
Sumter, who occupied one of the press
chairs almost directly in front of the
speaker’s stand. You could have heard
his answer almost to Grant park.
"Wheatley,” again insisted the clerk,
his features as stolid as a piece of
marble.
"Aye,” thundeerd the gentleman from
Sumter a second time, and then joined
i nthe general laugh at his expense- for
be it known that he was most anxious
that his vote on that particular ques
tion be corectly recorded.
1 Houm La-agha When Speakor
Called "Mr Moderator."
There tire times when the spirit , of
\ ity invades the house of represento-
—and breaks the long monotony of
hot end strenuous debate, It came dur-
»ig the closing hour Friday, when the
■levlous question on all substitutes to
‘Its Lipscomb bill came up for consider-
llion.
Speaker Burwell decided to slip out
»»i* a smoke and asked Representative
W, D, Hammock, of Randolph, a Bap-
i»t minister, to take the chair, Under
the rules, the author of the bill was al
lowed twenty minutes for debate, the
same length of time beinfj allotted to
'.‘hairman L, R. Akin, of the ways and
j means committee,
Both Representative J. fij. Sheppard
t and Mr. Akin divided their time among
! their supporters,
It was "Mr. Speaker.” as each one arL
J dressed the chair until Representative
1 Cheney, of Gobh, arose for the eonelud-
ing remarks as a committee member.
Now. Mr. Cheney, beingf a good Bap
tist and in the habit of attending ail of
the ehurefc conferences, must have had
one of those gatherings in mind when
he addressed the chair.
"Mr, Moderator,” he said, then quickly
correcting his error, "Mr. Speaker and
members o fthe house. I mean”—r
But the house had caught the slip
and a general laugh ensued, the gentle
man from Randolph apparently enjoying
it as much as any one.
DR. HARRIS' TESTIMONY.
The most significant evidence "so far
offered by the state was the testimony
of Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of the
state board of health, and Monteen Sto
ver, a Lurteen-year-old girl, who for
merly worked at the pencil factory.
Dr. Harris made a post-mortem ex
amination on the body* of Mary Phagan
a few -days after her death. He testi
fied that she had undoubtedly died
fr< m strangulation produced by the
tightly-drawn cord around her neck;
that the blow on the back of the head
undoubtedly rendered her unconscious;
that she hacl died within from a half
to three-''iuarters of an hour after hav
ing eaten some cabbage and bread:
that she had not been criminally as
saulted but that she had suffered some
kind of violence between five and ten
minutes before death.
Dr. Harris explained that the cord
had left a deep indentation in the girl’s
neck which was badly contused and
swollen; that the blow on the bacK
of the head had caused a slight hem
orrhage beneath the skull, but not suf
ficient to kill; that he had examined
the contents of the stomach and found
pieces of cabbage and bread which were
almost totally undigested; that his ex
amination of the organs of the body
convinced him that no criminal assault
had been made upon the child, but that
the dilated and inflamed blood vessels
satisfied Mm that external violence
had been committed, and that the con
dition of the inflammation caused him
to believe it ocurred not more than ten
minutes before her death.
A bottle containing the undigested
cabbage taken from Mary Phagan’s
stomach was tendered by Dr. Harris, as
were two other bottles containing par
tially digested cabbage, which he said
he had taken from t r ne stomachs of two
healthy normal men an hour after they
had eaten it.
Dr. Harris was too ill to finish his
testimony, and the defense had no op
portunity to cross-examine him. He
will doubtless be recalled this week.
MONTEEN STOVER’S EVIDENCE.
Monteen ^Stover testified that she
went to the pencil factory for her pay
at 3 2:05 o’clock on Saturday, April 27;
that she stepped into the outer office
vfriere she could have a good view of
Frank’s private office; that she saw no
one in either office; that she sat on a
bench outside the office until 12:10,
when she went back home.
A statement made ! by Frank to the
detectives was read to the jury. In it
Frank says Mary Phagan came to his
office about 12:05 or 12:10; that he gave
her her pay envelope and that she then
went out.
In their cross-examination of several
witnesses Attorneys Rosser and Arnold
brought out the fact that it would be
almost impossible for’a person to see
into Frank’s private office from the
outer office when the safe door was
open; that the door was so large that
it practically cut off all view into the
inner office. It is presumed that the
defense will later attempt to show that
the safe door was open at the hour the
Stover* girl says she looked into Frank’s
office.
DR. J. W. HURT.
The testiony of Dr. J. W.
Hurt, the coroner's physician who
performed the autopsy on Mary
Phagan’s body, Sunday morning
following the murder, differed in several
Important particulars from that of Dr.
Harris in his testimony. He agreed with
Dr. Harris that the girl came to her
death by *trangulatlon, but admitted on
cross-examination that the only accu
rate way, to prove this was by an ex
amination of the lungs, which he had
not made, He also agreed that the blow
on the nead waw delivered before death
and produced unconsciousness, but ad
mitted on croEs-examlnettion that such
blows frequently result in concussion of
the brain and in death.
Dr, Hurt corroborated Dr, Harris in
the latter’s statement that the girl had
not been criminally assaulted, but differ
ed with him as to her having undergone
external violence, Dr, Hurt says he
never found any Indications of violence
and that the dilated and inflamed blood
vessels, could have resulted from natur
al causes.
He would not attempt/to estimate haw
long the cabbage had been irj the stom
ach, but admitted that mastication had
a great deal to do with digestion and
that some persons digested food sooner
than others.
MRS.. J. W. GOLEMAN.
Mrs ; J. W. Coleman, mother of Mary
testified that the girl left her heme at
11*45 fo go to the factory, and just
prior to leaving she partook of a meal
consisting of cabbage and bread.
Attorney Rosser developed from Mrs.
Coleman that it was two blocks to the
car line from jrer home and that she
had no way of knowing hew soon Mary
caught a car ;
George Epps, a pewsbop, pwore that
he boarded the car with the girl at
Olive street and Bellwood avenue at
10 minutes to 12 ana that they left
the car at Marietta and Forsyth streets
about 12:10. He was not sure of the
latter time, as he judged it by the
sun. The girl, he said, walked on
across the Forsyth street viaduct to
ward the factory, two blocks away.
The presence of blood spots on the
second floor of the factory, near the
girl’s dressing roomlwas testified to by
R. P. Barrett, a machinist at the fac
tory; Mell Stanford, another factory
employe, Detectives Starnes and Black,
Mrs. George W. Jefferson, also a fac
tory employe, and Chief Beavers. Dr
Claude A. Smith, city bacteriologist and
chemist, testified that he had made an
analysis of the stain upon chips taken
from the floor and found that it was
blood.
Barrett swore that he had found hair
upon the handle of his turning lathe
in the metal room; that it was not
there Friday when he stopped work,
and that no girls worked in the fac
tory on Saturday. He also testified
to having found a pay envelope under
Mary Phagan’s machine.
Attorneys Rosser and Arnold brought
out from a number of witnesses that
paint spots, both red and dark, could
be found in all parts of the factory
and that it was not an uncommon thing
to find blood spots around the wom
en’s dressing rooms and toilets of fac
tories where large numbers of women
were employed.
WHAT DARLEY SAID.
One of tha state’s witnesses, N. V.
Darley, general manager of the pencil
fur' '*ry, stated on cross-examination
th; about 175 pay envelopes were scat
tered* over the factory on every pay
day, and that lengths of cord similar to
that found around Mary Phagan’s neck,
could also be found all over the fac
tory; that it was frequently carried to
the basement in the trash. He declare^
further that order blanks and tablet
paper of the character upon which the
notes found by the body were written,
could be picked up in all parts of the
factory, and that pencils were every
where plentiful.
Both Darley and E. F. Holloway, the
day watchman, testified that the switch
box on the elevator was unlocked on
Sunday morning, and Holloway recalled
under cross-examination that he had
left it unlocked the day ( before.
Mrs. J. Artuur White stated that she
was at the pencil factory from 12:30
to about 1 o’clock on the day of the
murder and that as she walked down the
stairs to leave she saw a negro sitting
on a box on the first floor a few feet
from the' staircase.
In his affidavit Conley claims that it
was just before 1 o’clock that Frank
called him up to aid in disposing of
the body. Conley’s statement has not
yet been produced in court.
FRANK’S NERVOUSNESS.
Among the witnesses who swore that
Frank was very nervous on Sunday
morning when he was brought to the
factory were Detective John Black, De
tective J. N. Starnes, W. W. Rogers,
a bailiff, and Darley.
Upon cross-examination practically
all of these witnesses admitted that
they had never seen Frank before and
knew nothing about his natural demean
or. Some of them said he was not very
much more nervous than others at the
factory that Sunday, and Darley de
clared that on two former occasions he
had seen Frank fully as nervous and
excited—once Just after he had seen a
child run over by a street car and once
after Frank and a pencil factory offi
cial had quarreled.
Detectives Black and Rogers did not
think that Frank had looked upon the
dead girl’s face when taken to the un
dertaking establishment, but neither
would swear positively that he had not.
Black admitted that Frank waH between
him and the body and that he had seen
the face.
Pinkerton Detective Harry Scott tes
tified that Frank had told him that he
had not left his office from the time he
returned from Montag Bros.,' about 11
o'cock, until about 1 o’clock, when he
went upstairs to tell Mrs. White that
he was going to lunch and lock the front
door, and that tfhe had better leave if
she wished to get out before he returned
at 3 o’clock,

WITHDRAWAL OF NEGRO
PLEASES SOUTHERNERS
Wilson Breaks Another Prece
dent in Appointing Indian as
Register of Treasury
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—No act of
President Wilson with reference to fed
eral patronage has given more general
satisfaction to southern Democrats than
the withdrawal of the nomination of
Adam E. Patterson, an Oklahoma negro,
scheduled to be register jot the treas
ury. Accompanying the notice erf with
drawal there came from the president
the nomination of Gabe E. Parker, a
citizen of Oklahoma, and an Indian.
The withdrawal of Patterson’s nomi
nation was not unexpected. It was fore
coast in these dispatches last Sunday,
following the protests provoked by the
announcement that Patterson yas a ne
gro. As was stated at that time, the
nomination was made through an inad-
vertance, and after the matter was call
ed officially to the president’s attention
on last Monday by Senator Hoke Smith,
it was believed generally that Patter
son’s name would be withdrawn.
Practically every southern senator
joined in the protest that was spiced by
the Georgian. Senators Lea and Shields,
of Tennessee; Williams and Vardaman,
of Mississippi; Bankhead and Johnston,
of Alabama; Simmons and Overman, of
North Carolina; Tillman and Smith, of
South Carolina; Senator Bacon and
others prominent in the senate indicated
their opposition* to the nomination.
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, who was
credited with having recommended Pat
terson’s nomination, accompanied Sena
tor Smith to see the president. He, too,
urged that the nomination be with
drawn.
That Patterson’s name ever reached
the president for nomiantion as register
of the treasury was due in the first in
stance to the insistence of northern
Democratic senators, and representa
tives. They informed the treasury de
partment to recognize a Democratic ne
gro with the office. They argued that
inasmuen as a negro has occupied this
position through many administrations,
failure to appoint another negro would
be accepted by the race as a discrimina
tion against it by the Democratic party
and would militate seriously against
the party in future contests. It was
on the strength of these representations,,
coupled with a lack of knowledge by
Secreary McAdoo that the president did
not intend to appoint a negro, that
moved the treasury department to send
Patterson’s name to the White House.
It was an act of expediency in the in
terest of the party, as Mr. McAdoo be
lieved.
The fact that the office has been held
by a negro for mans' years, and that
the unbroken custom has been to give
it as a reward to the black race, did
not disturb President Wilson, who has
become accustomed to breaking prece
dents in Washington. He unhesitating
ly withdrew the negro’s name just as
soon as it became known to him that
the southern people generally were op
posed to the recognition of negroes in
federal offices. /

New Arrests Expected to Fol
low Detention of Department
of Justice Agents
(By Associated Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 4.—The two
federal department of justice agents
and the self-styled representative of
Governor Oarranza of Mexico in this-
country, arrested here last night on a
charge of blackmail, stil lwere detained
today and another arrest in the case
was expected soon.* Local agents of
the government are trying today to as-
certin of Einmaanel Brito, former gov
ernor of the Mexican state ofCampeche,
is wanted in Mexico on the charge of
murder.
A telegram purporting to come from
Attorney General McReynolds, various
ly declared a "fake” and genuine, in
which it was requested that Brito be
arrested, was the medium through
which detectives say R. G. Matthews,
special agent of the department of jus
tice; J. L. Mott, hik assistant, and Er-
netso Fernandez got Brito to pay to
Matthews $500 on the pretense that
~rito would be protected from arrest.
The arresting officers say they saw
the money, all marked, pass from Brito
to Matthews in a room at 1228 St.
Charles avenue, a rendezvous for Cen
tral Americans in New Orleans.
The trio was taken to the office of
Federal District Attorney Guion this
morning, where a long secret conference
took place. It was not announce
whether the government would take
hold of the case or whether the accused
men would be given a hearing before a
state court.
The men have not been given privi
lege of making bond.
Despite Uneasiness Caused by
Narragansett Robberies, Mrs,
Fish’s Guests Put Them On
REPUBLICANS AT LAST
DENT NEW TARIFF BILL
(By Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON, Aug:. 4.—In an effort
to hasten the progress of the tariff
bill, leaders on both sides in the sen
ate today determined to support a
movement to have the sessions begin
next week at 11 a. m. instead of at
noon. The senate will sit seven hours
a day under this arrangement, and the
leaders hope the extra hour will serve
to get many campaign speeches out of
the way.
The earthenware schedule finally
was completed today after an amend
ment by Senator Jones to put a coun
tervailing duty on lime was voted down.
Senators Borah and Gronna voted with
the Democrats. The entire metal sched
ule temporarily was laid aside because
Senators Penrose and Oliver, who are
especially interested in it, were out of
town. The sugar schedule also was
passed over. Both Will be taken up
next week.

liam F. Kennedy, one of the principals
