8 - THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, AUGUST 5, 1913. 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. ries all the colors of the rainbow and then some, against a background of brilliant red. This he wields vigorously at times, while the hous** gazes at the galaxy of 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 out his ,any more than he would part* with the good right arm that wields it. when not used for gesticulation. The two gentlemen from Houston, Messrs. Green and Holtzclaw .are also ardent "fanners." Frank A. Lipscomb, whose name has a corner on newspaper promi nence, swings his in great style, and being 'immaculate always in flannels, linens or a suit of pongee, manages to keep outwardly cool, even though in wardly hot "because the house kept kickin' his bill aroun.' ” Nearly all of the members, in fact swear allegiance to the coolers. But far be it for the gentleman from Upson, Mr. Parks, who "totes" his own fan. a gaudy concoction of colors, to handle one of the palm leaves. His is one of the fold ing variety. When spread open it car 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 a court reporter, one a guano dealer, one a dentist. 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, THE STATE’S WINE88EB. A list of the witnesses so far intro duced by the state follows: Mis. J. W, Coleman, mother of Mary Phagan; 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. / George Epps, a newsboy; Newt Lee, the negro night watchman at the factory; Police Sergeant L.

Rogers, a bailiff; Miss Grace Hix, an employe at the factory, who identified the dead girl; Detective John Black, J. M.

P. Barrett, Mell Stanford, Mrs. George W. Jefferson, who saw the blood on the metal room floor and who swore no paints were ever kept in the metal room; Detective B. B.

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. (By Associated Prese,> . NEWPORT, R. I.. Aug. 4 —Notwith standing the nervousness wnlch has been manifest among society leaders lover th<3 safety of their jewels since the recent big robberies at Narragansett Pier, the display of gems at the -'Mother Goose” ball at Crotsways, the residence of Mrj and Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish, last night, was one of the most notable ever seen lri the society colony here.
