THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GA., FRTDAJY, AUGUST 22, 1913. ■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. * , Catarrh Treated FREE This New Combination Method Routs Ont the Germs from Head, Throat and Slood. T Following the arrow, you will note on the Illustration the cavity of the head partly shown. Here the dread ful Catarrh germs do their evil work on the tender mucous membranes. A local treatment Is necessary to dislodge them, but that Is not enough. They must also be followed Into the blood and killed. This treatment does both. It must be borne In mind that catarrh Is one of the most Insidious of diseases and one of the hardest to destroy, just because of this tendency to retire from the surface when the germs i are attacked. 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. SHERIFF’S GUN HOLDS LYNCHERS IN CHECK To Get Negro, Prisoner, Gate Is Blown With Dynamite, but Sheriff Saves Him • C, E. Gauss Has Devised a New Positive Method. By treating both the blood and the Inflamed tisaues at the same time the Catarrh germs are not only routed bnt are oat off from their usual retreat—into the blood. Instead of hiding there until the local treatment stops and then returning, they are destroyed and the system is rid of them. Thus, and thus only, is a real cure of this insidious and awful disease made possible. For years Mr. Gauss sought to find a cure for catarrh through local treatment, and per fected a means that Mould dispose of local symp toms very rapidly.

EDNA GODREE TO BE TRIED IN A STATE COURT Woman Who Slew Divorced Husband and His Wife Not Linder Federal Jurisdiction 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.

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.
