I THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1913. IS PASSED Bf CLOSE VOTE Six Banks Come to Aid. of the State of Georgia and Lend Sums at 3 Per Cent Interest to Pay Teachers Six Atlanta National banks have ar ranged immediately lend to the state ot\ Georgia $475,000 at 3 per cent inter est. To do this these banks must bor row the money in New York and pay therefor interest at the rate of 5 3-4 per cent in addition to being forced to keep a big reserve in New York which runs the rate they must pay up to be tween 6 1-2 and 7 per cent. It. was through the efforts of Gov ernor Slaton that the banks were in duced to make their offer. The gov- ernor wrote to the various banks of the state inviting them to participate in the loan, but nowhere outside of At lanta did he receive a proposition which contemplated a rate of interest lower than 4 per .cent and then only on a small loan. The money which will be turned into the state treasury as soon as the notes can be executed, will be used to pay a part of the overdue installment checks will be sent out to the ordinaries in each county for distribution among the teachers. The banks and the amount to be sup plied by each are: Atlanta National, $200,000; Fourth National, $100,000; American National, $75,00; Fulton Na tional. $60,000; I.o^fry National, $25,00, and Third National, $25,000. Of these banks the first four men tioned are state depositories, but this fact does not make it incumbent upon them to make a financial sacrifice in order to accommodate the state. The last two named banks are not state de positories.

After the first ten names were called the vote was 7 to 3 against the bill, and tax reformers became decidedly uneasy for fear the same ratio would continue. From then on, however, they forged to .the front and at one time were eleven votes to the good. Here the tide turned again and it was nip and tuck down the third and last column of the roll call. Slowly but surely the lead of the vic tors was cut down and when the letter "S” was reached the tie came, nor could It be broken. At the conclusion of the vote it' stood 8 6 to 88 against the bill. Then two things happened that changed, what seemed to be certain defeat Into victory. One member of the house found that he had voted “no" under a misapprehension and changed to “aye” cutting down the lead against the meas ure to one. A second member was not in the house when the roll was called, but reached the capitol Just in time to cast his ballot ln favor of the bill, thus tying the scora He had been for the election of a senator as quired by the seventeenth amendment to the federal constitution. The Ala bama governor was sharply criticised by Democrats today for his apparent willingness to Jeopardize the tariff bill In order to combat the prohibition issue in his state. It is regarded as practically certain that Governor O'Neal’s commission of Clayton as United States senator, will not be accepted by the United States The consunsus of opinion ln the sen ate, without regard to politics Is that Governor O’Neal was without legal au thority to appoint a successor to the vacancy caused by the death of Senator Johnston. The senate Judiciary com mittee Is of the opinion that the only legal way ln which the vacancy can be filled Is by means of a special elec tion, and Governor O'Neal Is wltflout authority to call a special election until the state legislature provides the nec essary machinery.

Both were ruled out of order by the chair, as under the rules only a move to reconsider immediately can be recognized ln a senate amendment Tne speaker was called upon to show bis authority for the ruling, which h« did, reading the rule ln full. No other motion was offered by Mr. Sheppard and Mr. Gower, of Crisp, moved to ad journ. The "ayes" and "nays” were called and the motion lost by a scant margin. Again there was a general clamor for recognition and Mr. Black burn, of Fulton, was given the floor. His move was to adjourn to a time cer tain, a motion that Is debatable, and Instantly Mr. Wohlwender, of Musco gee, began to debate the question.

The situation with regard to the va cancy from Alabama as It reflects upon the control of the senate by the Democrats Is aggravated by the seri ous Illness of Senator Culberson, of Texas. It Is believed in Washington that the Texan will be unable to at tend further sessions ln the senate this year, if he ever recovers, so that with the vacancy from Alabama and the absence of Culberson the Demo cratic control of the senate Is reduced to an uncomfortable margin that may Imperil the tariff bill. With one vacancy and one absentee the Democrats will have forty-nine senators, as against forty-four Repub licans, and one Progressiva However, Senators Randell and Thornton, ot Louisiana, classified as Democrats will vote against the tariff bill, because of the free sugar provision. Theli defection will reduce the Democratic vote to forty-seven and increase the Republican strength to forty-six. If the Progressive votes with the Repub licans eaoh party will muster forty- seven votes on the bill, provided all are present. An absent Democrat on the final vote might defeat the bill.

Under cover of darkness, the trespass er, dodging through the shrubbery of the grounds, had gained the corridors of the White House itself before a police man arrested his progress. This was all the policeman did arrest, however, for the intruder was Superintendent of Po lice Sylvester. The head of the force was out on a personal inspection to discover the efficiency of the guard thrown around the chief executive of the nation. Near the close of the Taft administra tion the number of police detailed to ijuard the White House and its environs DALTON, Ga., Aug. 14,—Murray county has made it especially conven ient for the “praying juries,’’ who, in finding difficulty in reaching a verdict, ask divine guidance, for the juries are this week being taken to a church about 300 yards distant from the hastily improvised court house at Chatsworth, for their deliberations. Local attorneys who have been at tending Murray superior court at the j new county site of Chatsworth, state | that court has spread over the entire town. The cases are being tried ln a secret order hall, nearby, in a bank building, the grand jury is in session, while the traverse juries are taken to a church to consider the evidence and reach a verdict. Thursday, it is probable that the case of the state vs. Tom Whitson, charged with murder, will be called. Whitson shot and killed one of his em ployes, named Smith, claiming self-de fense. After the killing he surrendered to officers, but was permitted to return home, being later indicted by a grand jury.

Three panels of the traverse jurors were empanelled. Judge Fite, in his charge to the jury, took oc casion to dwell on the reasons why the court was held here. The charge was something over an hour long. The judge took occasion to ask the people of the different sections to unite and try and get a good technological school at Spring Place in lieu of the court house.

If you bruise your hand, you will no tice that a scab forms, and when it falls off, new skin has formed. Did salve do it? No! Skin is the same aa muscle, bone, sinew, ligament. All are made from the blood, from the ma terials that your stomach and intes tines convert from food into what we call blood. And this blood circulates in the myriad of tiny blood vessels in the skin. Start from your stomach, where blood materials begin, and it won’t be long before you are free of eczema. Use S. S.

That is why it regenerates the blood supply; why it has such a tremendous influence in overcoming eczema, rash, pimples, and all skin afflictions. Get a bottle of S. S.

BLEASE SAYS WHIT TILL SLATON ASKS A FAVOR Give Georgia Governor Taste of Own Medicine, ’ He Declares (Special Dispatch to The Journal.) COLUMBIA, S. C., Augr. 14.—-“As to Governor Slaton, I shall make no criti cisms. When papers are sent to this office from his they will be given such consideration as he gave to those that went from this office to his. “I believe in the good old doctrine, ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ But I have not yet reached that point in life where I find it advan tageous to always follow the other doc trine of ‘returning good for evil.’ ” The above is from an interview given out by Governor Blease on Governor Slaton's refusal to grant his requisition tor Julian Zachry. A copy of the inter view was sent to Governor Slaton. The interview follows: “The decision of the supreme court in Georgia in reversing Judge Hammond clearly and positively confirms the opin ion of Attorney General Peeples and myself that Zachry has violated the laws of this state, and if Judge Gary had gone just a little further ln his order, which I think all good lawyers will agree with me that he should have done, and add,ed, “and it is further or dered that this child shall not be car ried beyond the jurisdiction of this court,’’ Mrs. Zachry could now apply to this judge or another one and ask that the possession of the child be given to her, but Judge Gary, having neglected, to make such provision, the child is now beyond the jurisdiction of the courts of this state, and Judge Gary himself, who passed this wonderful order, is as help less as a babe to give her any relief. “However, if he had a right top ass the order that he did, I hold that Zach ry had no right to take the child out of South Carolina, and tat when he crossed the state border he became a kidnaper. The supreme court of Geor gia says that Judge Hammond was wrong, therefore, the children properly belong in the possession of the moth er, and Zachry most assuredly is guilty of kidnaping under the common law and under the statute law of this state, regardless of what Governor Slaton may be led to believe by his political allies, against the interest of a helpless and defenseles woman. “As to the other charges, when Zach ry took this child and deserted the mother and th eother child, leaving them in Columbia penniless and among strangers, he most assuredly violated the section of the law with which he is charged in reference to failing and neglecting to support his wife and children and, as to the charge of cruelt yto the child, the de cision of the supreme court of Georgia certainly confirms General Peeples and myself In that. Because when Judge Hammond’s decision was reversed it was not only cruelty to the child, ubt judicial outrage that it be torn from its mother’s breast while it was sick and suffering and needed at that time the careful nursing and loving care of a mother. As to whether or not Zach ry was guilty of violating any law of this state, that was a matter of fact for the Juries of this county and not a matter of fact upon which Governor Slaton was cal eld upon to pass. “As I understand the law he only has to look to see if an offense was charged, If the papers were in proper form, if the requisition was not asked for the purpose of collecting a debt, or to enforce the civil judgment, and when he was satisfied of these questions it was clearly his duty to leave to the jury the questions of fact, for the ques tion of Zachry’s guilt or innocence is wholly irrelevant in determining the action of Governor Slaton, that ques tion is to be investigated and determin ed by the court of the state where the alleged crime was committed. “I am satisfied that my position in this matter has been a correct one, that General Peeples was right in his con struction of the law and that the lib erty loving people of this state as well as those of the state of Georgia, and that every man who loves his wife and children, and that every man and wom an who respect a mother’s love will in dorse my course. Therefore I care noth ing for the criticism of that element of people who regardles of humanity can glory at the tearing away from the breast of a mother her sick child. “As to Governor Slaton, I shall make no criticism. When papers are sent to this office from his they will be given such consideration as those he gave to those which went to his office. “I believe in the good old doctrine, ‘Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.’ But I have not yet reached that point in life where I find it advantageous to always follow the the other doctrine of ‘returning good for evil.’ ” Cost of Living in England Is Rising LONDON, Aug. 14.—A report issued by the board of trade on an official in vestigation of the rise in the cost of living shows that for nine million people in England and Wales belonging to the working classes, with incomes of $6.25 a week or less, the cost of living has increased in seven years $435,000,000, or nearly $1 a week for each person. Present prices are the highest in twenty-five years. Retail prices of food have risen 14 per cent since 1900, while wages have increased only 3 per cent. Prices of almost all foodstuffs, except tea and sugar, have risen, the greatest increases being in bacon, 32 per cent, and potatoes, 46 per cent. People have been able to meet the ad vances only by reducing consumption. HOMER C. CARMACK TRIED FOR SLAYING AGED MAN COLUMBUS, Ga., Aug. 14.—In the court of law and equity of Lee county. Alabama, at Opelika, this week, Homer C. Carmack, well-known resident of Phe- nix City, is on trial charged with kill ing J. J. Folk, an aged merchant, wno was quite feeble and unable to defend himself, the object, it is alleged, being to rob the cash drawer of the small grocery store. The body of the old man was found on the morning of June 23 in hi3 store, terribly mutilated, indicating a strug gle. At the coroner’s hearing, following the discovery and arrest of young Car mack, the fact was brought out that tbe old man begged piteously for his life, promising all that he had, but t > no avail. The payment of a number of bills by the defendant on the morning following the murder led to his arrest, and Car mack has never been able to explain Just how he came in possession of th-? money. Feeling was high at the time of the killing, and the authorities hurried the prisoner off to Opelika for safe keep ing, fearing violence on the part cf friends of the dead man, who was a prominent Confederate veteran. THEFT OF 1 “ Miss Hattie Hall Sweats She Was in Frank's Office Be tween 11 and 12 o'clock and That Superintendent Did No Work on Finance Sheet During This Hour-Her Testi mony Different in This Respect From What She Swore at Inquest News of the Frank trial Tuesday. Decidedly the feature of the Tuesday morning session of the trial of Leo M. Frank, charged with the murder of Mary Phagan, was the successful attack made by the defense on the credibility of C. B. Dalton, who had previously testified for the state. Dalton was recalled to the stand by the defense and by his own ad missions, it was shown that he had served a chaingang sentence in Walton county in 1884 for theft; that he was indicted in 1899 for steal ing baled cotton, for which he received, to quote his qwn language, “one-forty-one-eighty; ” and that he "hade come clear of stealing corn in Gwinnett county.” Four witnesses, V. S. Cooper, of Monroe, J. H. Patrick, policeman and justice of the peace from Walton county, W. T. Mitchell and I. M. Hamilton, all swore that they would not believe Dalton on oath. Mrs. Laura Atkinson, of 30 Ellis street, testified that she had met Dalton sev eral times but that she had never met him at the Busy Bee cafe. Mrs. Minnie Smith, an- employe of the factory, testified that she did not even know Dalton. Both had been mentioned in Dalton’s testimony for the state. Miss Hattie Hall, stenographer and bookkeeper for Montag Brothers, proved an important witness for the defense. She tes tified that she went to the factory at Frank’s request not later than 11 o’clock on the day of the tragedy, that she remained there until 12 o’clock, leaving as the whistle blew, and that during the period she was there Frank did not work on the financial sheet, which he claims to have prepared during the afternoon. She said that she did not see any little girl entering the factory as she left. Miss Hall also testified that Frank told her over the telephone Saturday morning, when he requested her to come over and assist him, that he had work belore him that would occupy him until 6 o’clock in the evening. This testimony was ruled out by the court, after an argument between the attorneys. Miss Hall also told of the people she saw who visited Frank’s ffi Saturday morning between 11 and 12 o’clock, mentioning Miss Corinthla Hall, Mrs. Arthur White, a young woman whom she did not know and two men. On cross examination the solicitor dr :w from the witness the fact that her salary at the time of the tragedy was $10.60 per week and that it had recently been increased to $16 per week. Miss Hall was severely cross-questioned by Solicitor Dorsey who called attention to the fact that when she testified at the coroner’s in quest she stated that she had helped Frank fill in the financial sheet on Saturday morning, whereas Tuesday she declared that Frank had done no work on the finance sheet while she was in the office. Miss Hall explained her previous testimony by the statement that she had mistaken the “averags sheet” for the finance sheet, and that it was the average sheet on which they had worked Saturday morning. 'News of the Frank trial Wednesday.- The character of Leo M. Frank was put ln issue Wednesday morn ing by his attorneys during the fifteenth day’s session of his trial for the murder of Mary Phagan. While not unexpected the fact that the defense has thrown down the bars and challenged the state to put a blot on the character of the young factory superintendent was decidedly the feature of the morn ing session. Generally the defense in important criminal cases does not put the defendant’s character in issue, for few people can stand the searching investigation to which the accused is generally subjected by detectives. Since Frank was first accused of the Phasan murder there have been constant rumors that the detectives have found wit nesses who are ready to attack the character of the accused. These witnesses, if the detectives have found them, could never have testi fied had the defense not paved the way by putting his character ln is sue and practically challenging the state to its weaknesses. This ac tion on the part of the defense means that Frank’s attorneys are con fident that the defendant’s life will .stand the white light of 'investiga tion. The direct case of the defense is almost finished. When the noon recess was taken Wednesday, Attorney Luther Z. Rosser and Reuben R. Arnold expected to be through with all except character-witnesses in less than a day’s time. The defense scored an important point Wednesday, when Lemmle Quinn, a factory foreman, declared that he saw Frank ln his office, writ ing at 12:20, almost the exact time that the state claims Frank Killed Mary Phagan. Quinn was still on the witness stand, when court ad journed for the noon recess, and the indications were that the comple tion of his direct and cross examination would occupy- an hour and pos sibly two hours of the afternoon. Alfred L. Lane, who went to school with Frank at Pratt institute, a New York merchant, who resides in Brooklyn, was the first witness to take the stand and tell of Frank’s good character. He came to At lanta especially for the purpose of testifying. ATTORNEYS CLASH OVER EVIDENCE. Philip Nash, of Greenwood', N. J., and Richard A. Knight, of Brook lyn, N. Y„ both schoolmates of Frank, both testified that his character was excellent. No other character witnesses were put up during the morning. Attorney Arnold stating that the three who testified had come a long ways and for that reason he had called them early. Efforts of the defense to get before the jury experiments made by four men, who re-enact d Jim Conley’s story, as told on the witness stand, at the pencil .factory, taking part ln the conversations and movements hat Conley claims he participated in, brought a vigorous -protest from Solicitor Dorsey. The solicitor contended that the court had declined to permit the evidence in regard to Conley’s pantomime reproduction of his own story and that to admit the experiments made by the defense would be a direct reversal of his former decision. He declared that if the evidence is ad mitted he will seek to rebut it with Conley’s own pantomime, previously ruled out.
