■WICK TO DSK
Witness Swears Dorsey Refused to Free Minola M’Knight
Georgia Congressman , Re
ceives Support in Effort to
Model Banking Bill After
Laws of Canada
BY RALPH SMITH.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 21.—The
administration currency bill is to be at
tacked from a new angle in the Demo
cratic caucus of the house, and its op
ponents feel today that they will suc
ceed in recommitting the entire propo
sition to the banking and currency com
mittee with instructions to prepare a
bill along lines radically different from
those on which the present measure
is. built.
Congressman Harwick, of Georgia,
who has been among the leading op
ponents to the administration bill has
prepared the formal motion to recom
mit that will be made just as sopn as
the proper parliamentary stage has been
reached in th ecaucus. This may arrive
the latter part of the week or the
first of next week, depending upon the
progress that is made in perfecting the
administration bill under the five-min
ute rule.
The Hardwick motion, which was
prepared at a number oi . niormal con
ferences among the bill s opponents,
was submitted today to a score or more
house Democrats, and commanded sup
port from unexpected uarters. The mo
tion, as it will be made by the Geor
gian follows: y
“First. That a substitute for the
pending bill .shall be prepared by the
committee which shall establish a bank
ing and currency system for tl^is coun
try along lines of the banking and cur
rency system of Canada and Scotland.
“Second. That such substitute shall
be so framed as to keep the United
States government from engaging in
either the banking or money lending
business.
“Third—That such substitute bill
shall be so framed as to render impos
sible combinations and consolidations
between the banks of the United States.”
The Canadian banking and currency
system which Hafdwick motion proposes
as a model for currecy reform in the
United States, provides for the issuance
by the banks of legalized cashier’s
checks or clearing house notes. These
are issued under government super
vision and regulation, and are redeem
able in gold on demand. Mr. Hardwick
declared this morning that, in his opin
ion, the opposition to an asset currency
measure and to the general details of
the administration bill is strong enough
to recommit the measure, with instruc
tions, and it is his expectation that his
motion will prevail. He believes that
all of the Georgia congressmen, with
possibly one exception, will support the
motion to recommit.
The recommittal of the bill, it is con
ceded, would mean the death of the ad
ministration bill, but would not mean
that currency .reform is doomed at this
session of congress. In the opinion of
some, the preparation of a bill modeled
after the Canadian system supported by
fcjie administration offers the only pos
sible solution of the question.*
I They predict that unless the so-called
“asset currency” bill is abandoned, cur
rency legislation at this session may
fail. This view is not shared by Presi
dent Wilson, however, who feels that the
administration bill will be passed, not
withstanding the opposition it is en
countering in the house caucus. The
•president does not share the belief of
some that the measure provides for an
“asset currency” so repugnant to Demo
crats. * ,

This New Combination Method Routs

T Following the arrow, you will note
on the Illustration the cavity of the

ful Catarrh germs do their evil work

A local treatment Is necessary to

enough. They must also be followed
Into the blood and killed. This

borne In mind that catarrh Is one of
the most Insidious of diseases and
one of the hardest to destroy, just

Attorney George Gordon, Summoned by the State, Identifies
Affilavit as Having Been Assented to by Cook at Frank
Home, but Says Solicitor Dorsey Was Informed at the
Time That Negress Was Being Illegally Held
- - ^ ■,
NEWS OF FRANK TRIAL TUESDAY.
Attorney George Gordon, who was counsel for Minola McKnight, the
negro cook at the Frank-Selig home, when she was takc|n in custody sev
eral weeks ago by city detectives and held until she had given an incrim
inating affidavit against Leo M. Frank, was one of the state’s witnesses
in the Frank trial at the Tuesday morning session, and his testimony
proved rather embarrassing to Solicitor Dorsey.
Attorney Gordon swore that his client, the negress, had been held
at police headquarters for several hours illegally against her will, and
that when he protested to the solicitor the latter had declared that he
hesitated to order her release for fear he “would get in bad” with the
detectives.
The witness declared the detectives would not allow him in the room
■while they were obtaining the affidavit fron. his client, and that both the
detectives and Chief Beavers had informed him the woman was being held
upon orders from the solicitor.
Replying to Solicitor Dorsey’s question if the negress had not been
released after she had made her affidavit Attorney Gordon said yes, but
not until he had appeared with a hapeas corpus proceeding for her to sign.
While cross-examining the witness Attorney Rosser, for the defense,
obtained from Solicitor Dorsey an affidavit which the McKnight woman
had signed in the solicitor’s office before she was taken to police head
quarters. The witness declared he had newer seen this affidavit .before.
Shortly after the negro cook gave her affidavit to the detectives Mrs.
Leo. M. Frank, wife of the defendant, gave out a statement to the news
papers in which she attacked Solicitor Dorsey and the city detectives,
charging them with having tortured and coerced her cook into giving state
ments damaging to her husband.
It is understood that at the afternoon session Solicitor Dorsey will put
up witnesses in an effort to prove that the McKnight woman gave her af
fidavit voluntarily and without coercion, nd that he will follow them with
physicians to sustain the evidence given by Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of
the state board of health, who made a postmortem examination of Mary
Phagan’s body, and whose testimony has been characterized by physicians
put up by the defense as “wild guesses.”
Somewhat of a sensation was sprung in the trial just before noon
when one of the state’s rebuttal witnesses, Willie Turner, sixteen-
year-old son of a Sandy Springs farmer, and a former pencil fac
tory employe, swore that in March of the present year, just about a month
before the murder of Mary Phagan, he had seen Frank talking to the girl ‘
in the metal room, and that the girl was urging Frank to leave her alone
so that she could go on with her work.
According to Turner Mary Phagan backed several feet away from
Frank, who sought to reassure her by admonishing her that he was the
superintendent of the factory.
Attorneys for the defense objected to the Turner boy’s testimon;',
which Attorney Arnold characterized “as eleventh-hour evidence dragged in
here for the purpose of prejudicing the minds of the jurors ajjainst this
defendant.” •
The jury was sent out while the lawyers argued the point.
Solicitor Dorsey and Attorney Hooper insisted that Frank had sworn
that he did not know Mary Phagan and that the testimony of the witness
tended to show thfit he not' only knew her but that he pushed his atten
tions upon her. “The girl was killed on the second floor,” said Solicitor
Dorsey, “and this witness’ testimony hinges upon what may have been
the first step which finally culminated in her death.”
After considerable argument Judge Roan admitted the testimony and
the jury was recalled. /
The witness related his story to the jury, and was given a vigorous
cros-examination by Attorney Rosser, who caused him to admit that he
could not describe Mary Phagan, that he did not know her personally and
that he did not know any of the other pencil factory girls
When Judge Roan during the morning ruled that for the purpose of lay
ing the foundation for the impeachment of Mrs. Daisy Hopkins, one of the
witnesses for the defense, the state could show by Mrs. Hopkins that she
visited the pencil factory on a certain occasion, but could not develop from
the witness her object in going there. Solicitor Dorsey intimated that the
case of the state against Leo M. Frank had been vitally affected by tbis
ruling.
This was taken to mean that the solicitor was apprehensive concerning
his ability to get before the jury the testimony of many of his rebuttal
witnesses.
When she was on the stand for the defense Mrs. Hopkins swore she
had never been guilty of any improper conduct in the factory, that she
barely knew Frank and that she had no knowledge of anything derogatory
to his character. Mrs. Hopkins also branded as false the statement of
C. B. Dalton that she had been with him to the factory basement for im
proper purposes.
Upon her re-examination by the solicitor Tuesday morning Mrs. Hop
kins admitted that she was acquainted with Walter P. Merck, of Atlanta,
and that she had met him at the corner of Alabama and Whitehall streets
one Saturday afternoon, but she denied an alleged conversation with Merck
in which she is said to have related details of a disgusting incident which
occurred at the pencil factory.
While Mrs. Hopkins was on the stanl the defense announced that it
“rested its case.” Immediately after the witness was excused the state
called a number of DeKalb county citizens who had known her for long
terms of years, and each of these swore that her reputation for truth and
veracity was bad.
The state produced other witnesses who declared that they would be
lieve Dalton on oath.
Just before Solicitor Dorsey began his interrogation of Mrs. Hopkins
he announced that much of the evidence whicn was to follow would be em
barrassing for ladies to listen to and suggested that the defendant’s wife
and mother leave the court room. After some hesitation they adopted the
suggestion.
The state’s attorneys make known their intention to call a number
of prominent physicians to sustain the testimony of Dr. H. F.
Harris, secretary of the state board of health, and to rebut thq testimony
of a number of well-known physicians put up by the defense to attack the
evidence given by Dr. Harris.
Physicians whom the state will call are said to be Dr. George C.
Mizell, Dr. J. D. Cromer, Dr. Frank S. Eskridge, Dr. John Funke, Dr. Clar
ence Johnson, a stomach specialist; and Dr. Samuel E. Benedict, of Athens,
president of the state hoard of health.
NEWS OF FRANK TRIAL WEDNESDAY.
Introduction of testimony both for and against Leo M. Frank
will probably be concluded Wednesday afternoon, and in such an event
the arguments of the attorneys will begin Thursday morning. If this
program is carried out the case will go to the jury some time Friday
morning. Owing to the fact that the defense introduced testimony
the state will have the opening and closing arguments.
Attorneys for both the state and the defense have announced their
purpose to conclude the introduction of evidence at the Thursday aft
ernoon session of the trial, and they will make every effort to do so.
Three features characterized the Wednesday morning session: The
firs' was the state’s introduction of several physicians to sustain the
testimony of Dr. H. F. Harris; the second was the testimony of a num
ber of young women who swore that Frank's character was bad, and
the third was evidence given by a number of street car men o the ef
fect that the English avenue car, manned by Motorman Matthews and*
Conductor Hollis, frequently arrived at the corner of Marietta and
Broad streets ahead of time.
Matthews and Hollis, testifying for the defense, swore that Mary
Phagan came into the city on their car on April 26; that the car was
on time and that she left the car at the corner of Broad and Hunter
streets.
M. Kelly, a motorman, said that he rode on Matthews and Hollis’
car on the day of the murder; that it was several minutes ahead of
time, and that Mary Phagan was net on it after it turned into Broad
street from Marietta. i
Two young women witnesses testified that they had seen Frank
talk with Mary Phagan at the factory.
WOMEN ATTACK FRANK’S CHARACTER.
Through a number of women witnesses, most of whom were for
mer employes of the National Pencil factory, Solicitor Dorsey attacked
Frank’s general character, and especially did he direct his attention to
the defendant's alleged improper relations with wonfen.
Judge Roan had previously ruled that the state could offer evi
dence to show that Frank's attitude toward women was had, if such
evidence was offered in rebuttal to the testimony of witnesses for the
defense who had sworn that they had never seen the defendant act
improperly toward women and had never seen women in his office.
The court, in this ruling, however, held that the state could not intro
duce testimony to point to any specific crime.
Among the witnesses who testified that Frank's character and gen
eral reputation v ere bad were the following; Miss Myrtice Cat,o, Miss
Maggie Griffin, Mrs. R. M. Dunnegan, Mrs. R. H. Johnson, Miss Marie
Karst, Miss Nellie Pettis, Mrs Mary Davis, Mrs. Mary E. Wallace.
Miss Estelle Winkle, Miss Carrie Smith, Miss Ruth Robinson, Miss
Dewey Hewell and Miss Mamie Kitchens. Miss Robinson swore that
she had bee Frank talk with Mary Phagan when she worked on the
fourth floor of the factory and that in these conversations the defendant
was making suggestions to the girl about her work.
Very few questions were asked these witnesses by the attorneys for
the defense. None of them were asked why they gave Frank a had
cnaracter.
MEDICAL EXPERTS TESTIFY.
Hypothetical questions and expert medical testimony played a
prominent part in the trial Wednesday morning. Two prominent
Atlanta physicians—Dr. Clarence Johnson, a stomach specialist, and Dr.
George M. Niles, a specialist in digestive derangements—agreed with
Dr. H. F. Harris, secretary of the state board of health, that Mary
Phagan musit have met her death within an hour after she had eaten
her luncheon of cabbage and bread.
■Both oi these physicians were asked lengthy hypothetical questions
by Solicitor Dorsey, based upon the conditions which Dr. Harris swore
he had determined by chemical and other tests, and both of the physi
cians, assuming that the tests were correctly made and that Mary
Phagan possessed a normal healthy stomach, gave It as their opinion
that the cabbage taken from her stomach by Dr. Harris would have
shown more indications of digestion If It had remained in the stomach
longer than an hour.
Dr John Funke. professor of pathology and bacteriology at the
Atlanta Medical college, and specialist in diseases of the tissues,
testified that he had been shown sections of some of the dead girl’s or
gans; that blood had invaded the tissues; blood vessels were gorged and
were larger than normal.
Dr. Funke was positive that the Injury to the tissues was done prior
to the girl’s death and explained that the blood cannot invade the tissues
after death.
James Conley the negro sweeper, was brought from the jail to the
court house during the morning. It was at first thought that he
would be recalled to the stand by the state to rebut portions of Frank’s
statement, but later it was learned that he had been sent for in order
that certain witnesses might identify him.

By treating both the blood and the Inflamed

there until the local treatment stops and then

possible.
For years Mr. Gauss sought to find a cure
for catarrh through local treatment, and per

iSpecial Dispatch to The Journal.)
SAVANNAH, Ga., Aug'. 20.—Ignorant
to the last of her husband’s death, Mrs.
Florence R. Godbee died here at 10:35
o’clock Tuesday night, the second vic
tim of the tragedy at the Millen, Ga.,
postofflee Monday, when Mrs. Edna Per
kins Godbee shot and killed her di
vorced husband, Judge Walter S. God
bee, fatally wounding his wife at the
same time.
Tuesday afternoon the body of Judge
Godbee was laid to rest in the family
cemetery at Waynesboro, Ga., with Ma
sonic ceremonies.
Mrs. Edna Godbee, confined in the
Jenkins county jail at Millen, awaits
trial at the convention of the superior
court of Jenkins county next month. The
mere fact that the. postoffice building is
leased and not owned by the United
States government makes a distinction
which will give the state and not the
federal courts the duty of deciding Mrs.
Godbee’s fate. This was made known by
a telegram from the department at
yashington ln answep to one of inqulry
sent ,by the Millen postmaster.
Mrs. Godbee’s attorneys say that she
will waive preliminary trial and will
not try to secure bail.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 21.—Probably
the eight proudest boys in the United
States today are to be found in the
local organization of Boy Scouts, for
they will go down to posterity in the
“movies” scouting with President Wil
son in the White House grounds.
The film in which they will appear
i is to be 8,000 feet long, th ^longest yet
made with the exception of one produc-
! tion. The moving pictures, which are
| intended to advance the Boy Scout
; movement, were taken yesterday. The
president will be shown welcoming the
boys and shaking hands with them, after
which he will be depicted watching and
directing the youngsters in some of
their .scout work.
In carrying out the idea of depicting
the Boy Scout movement, the picture
operators this week will visit Camp
Archibald Butt, near the capital, where
the Boy Scouts are spending the sum
mer, and will take moving pictures of
scenes in their camp life.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—“If you ad

itor Josephus Daniels, in his official
capacity of secretary of the navy, and
as a result there is rejoicing today
among the men of the navy who were
assured a pleasure cruise* of a month
in the Mediterranean. Ten big battle
ships and all the torpedo boat destroy
ers now attached to the Atlantic fleet
will make the trip, departing October
2Li, and returning to their home ports
December 20.
“There was some argument in favor
of abandoning the cruise to permit of
other work,” said the secretary, “but
l told the officers and men that we
would make good our recruiting adver
tisements that men can learn some
thing and see the world.”
The various ships will separate when
they pass Gibraltar and each will se
lect its own port. During the month
each vessel will swing at anchor and
the crew will be given liberal shore
leave in which to visit the city or
town and the adjacent country. The
secretary unofficially has advised the
men to save their money against the

THOUSANDS MARCH "TO
PULL MO. OUT OF MUD”
Governor and Laborers Shoul
der to Shoulder in Good
Roads’ Campaifn
KANSAS CITY, Aug. 21.—Thousands
of volunteers marched- forth from every
county in western Missouri this morning
to become a part of Governor Major’s
army of 35,000, which in response to his
proclamation began a two days’ cam
paign that was expected to add one mil
lion dollars in improvements to Missou
ri’s public highways. «
This, the first state-wide movement
aimed at better roads, was expected to
be not only an epoch in the development
of Missouri but an example that would
bte followed by other states.
“This movement will unite the farm
and the market,” said the road overseers
as a message of encouragement to the
workers. • : *
“It will bring the city and the country
districts closer together,” was the reply
of the volunteer laborers.
t A spirit of rivalry among the counties,
each of which wanted to make the best
record during the two days, promised
much for the general result.
No army ever was better prepared for
a campaign than that which went out to
“pull Missouri out of the mud.” Eight
thousand road overseers in the state for
weeks have been assembling equipment
and laying out -the work to be done so
systematically that every squad of men
was put to work withouj delay or con
fusion.
Every city, town and hamlet was rep
resented in the movement and in the
farming districts nearly every able-
bodied man enlisted.
Governor and Mrs. Hodges, of Kan
sas, came to Missouri to give their
active support to the work. They were
the guests of Governor and Mr. Major.
Tiie two governors donned their overalls
and setting out from Jefferson City
early this morning were among the first
to get on the field of action.
Women took an important part in the
campaign. The 6,000 members of the
Missouri Federation of Women’s clubs
throughout the state aided the move
ment.
Thousands of farmers’ wives prepared
and served meals. .
Local members of % the Daughters of
the American Revolution took advan
tage the occasion to outline the route
of the old Santa Fe trail through Kan
sas City. Trolley poles were marked
with red, white and blue stripes to show
the route. In Jasper county a protest
of *he farmers caused the county court
to rescind an order providing that pris
oners in the jails participate in the
road work.
