VOLUME XIII. JS'ILTLOTBJd,. FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1913. NO. 1. L TO BE FILED PROSECUTION CIS T Solicitor Dorsey Will Be Serv ed With Copy of the Motion During the Next Few Days, It Was Learned Thursday Indications are that the solicitor gen eral during the present week will be Served with the amendment to the de fense's motion for a new trial for .Leo M. Frank. Attorney Luther Z. Rosser has* com pleted the preparation of the motion, it has been learned, and it is likely to be served on the solicitor at any time. Whether or not the motion will ask a new trial on the ground that some of the Jurors, who found a verdict of guilty against Frank, were prejudiced and had expressed the opinion that he was guilty before the case went to trial, is not known. It is certain, however, that the de fense has been making efforts to secure evidence, which would support such a contention. Two depositions, bearing on this case, have already been received by the clerk of the dourt. Both depositions *ome from Blakely, Ga., and were made it is said, after the men in question had refused to sign affidavits as to what they knew in the case. The depositions were made by L. B. Black and Walter Thomas. The latter is a druggist of Blakely, and between April 26, the date of Mary Phagan’s murder, and July 28, the date of -the commencement of thb trial, Thomas had a conversation about the case with At- ticus H. Renslee, who was later chosen as one of the twelve jurors. The conver sation is said to have been overheard by Black. • The questions asked in the depositions indicated that the attorneys for the de fense thought that Henslee had express ed an opinion as to the guilt or Inno cence of Frank. Wright, however, while admitting that he and Henslee had discussed the news paper stories about the case and the evidence brought out at the inquest, de nied that he remembered Henslee’s ex pressing any opinion. Black said that he knew Henslee and was present when the latter had a cer tain conversation with Wright, but didn’t remember what either of them ‘said. One of the pointed questions was: “What did Henslee say that he would do if he was one of the jury to try Frank?” , The answer was to the effect that the' maker of the deposition had not heard him make any remark, relative to' being a juror in the case. . While no other depositions have been filed, the defense is said to have a num ber of affidavits, bearing on alleged conversations of jurors before the trial. There were no developments Thurs day in reference to which judge will bear the Frank motion. * It is practically certain that the state will ask for a postponement of the hear ing of the motion from October 4, the date for which it is set. The defense is said to be ready, and If the state can get its side ready before October 11, it is possible that Judge L. S. Roan will hear the argument, al though there is little probability that the state will get ready by that time. All Testimony Regarding Al leged Campaign Funds Given Governor Is Admitted on Vote of Court (By Associated Press.) ALBANY, N. Y., Sept. 25.—The court of impeachment for the trial of Gover nor Sulz*er today unanimously voted in favor of admitting all testimony in ref erence to alleged campaign contribu tions received by the governor, whether specified in the article of impeachment or not. The point arose on the testimony of Morris Tekulsky, a New York liquor dealer and former president of the New York City Liquor Dealers’ association. He had known Sulzer twenty-three years, he said, and considered himself an intimate acquaintance. When he started to tell about the organization’s contributions to Sulzer, Attorney Mar shall objected, supporting his objection by a lengthy argument. He maintained there was nothing in the articles of im peachment regarding this witness. The purpose of the articles of impeachment, h e contended, was to give notice to a respondent of the nature of the accusa tions against him, and to afford him time to prepare to answer. Mr. Stanchfield, in reply, declared that the managers “have secured and ar e prepared to prove that Sulzer re ceived a large number of contributions, vastly in excess of those which appear on the face of the charges. There is no question, as matter of law, but that this evidence is admissible. LARGE FAMILY ROW Young Prince and Princess Threatened to Leave Country and Go to Austria BERLIN, Sept. 25.—A word-splitting wrangle over the formalities in connec tion with the enthronement of Prince Ernest August, of Cumberland, and Princess Victoria Luise as duke and duche ss of Brunswick, almost led to a split in the German imperial family and the withdrawal of the young prince and princess from Germany, according to to day’s Tageblatt.

Back Prom Vacation, Edison Is Shut Out By New Office Boy ORANGE, N. J., Sept. 25.—When Thomas A.. Edison, who has just recov ered from an illness, started to enter his laboratory here yesterday he was intercepted by a lad who had recently become attached to the laboratory of fice here. ‘No strangers allowed—in here,” said th e boy. “No one except employes can enter the building unless they have an appointment with Mr. Edison, and you can’t see him because he’s home.” The inventor asked to whom he should go if he wished to make an appoint ment with Mr. Edison. The new boy summoned W. H. Meadowcroft, Mr. Edi son’s secretary, who was astonished when he saw the “stranger.” “I’ve come to take up the work left off by Mr. Edison. I want to know if you ar e not desirous of employing a man who is willing to work now and then,” said the inventor as he shook hands with his secretary. He added: “Meadowcroft, that boy you have "here is all right I hope he will con tinue to see that the rules of this labor atory are faithfully carried out.” Postmasters Nominated WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 25.—The president cent to the senate today the following nominations for postmasters in Georgia: P. D. Wootten, Abbeville; Annie P. Harper, Stillmore. SAVANNAH POSTMASTER Such Is Generally- Accepted Theory of How Former At- lantian, Drowned at Jack sonville, Met His Death Tlie theory that the late Mr. Fred F. Catchings, of Birmingham and Atlanta, was killed by one of the strangest ac cidents imaginable, is advanced upon circumstances which have come to light about his death. The theory is that he was dragged into the ocean near Jacksonville, Fla., by a giant fish, and that entangled in his own fish line he was battered against submarine rocks and was drowned. Bruises upon his body led first to tne suspicion that he had been dealt with foully, perhaps had been murdered, and that his body had been thrown into the water. There is but one circumstance that bears out this latter suspicion, and it is not a strong one. It is that on last Saturflay Mr. Catchings drew 525 from the clerk 'of the hotel at Atlantic Beach, Fla., where he was staying, and when his body was found at the water’s edge Monday morning there wert but five pennies in his pockets. That sug gests the motive of robbery. News of Mr. Patchings’ death by drowning was received in Atlanta Tues day and brought deep grief to- his im mediate family here and to many friends. Nothing further was made public, but the Jacksonville authorities already were investigating the manner of his death. The bruises upon his body, and the mystery, surrounding the entire matter, had aroused suspicion. Dispatches from Jacksonville reveal that Mr. Catchings left the Atlantic Beach hotel Sunday afternoon to fish from the jetties at Mayport, at the mouth of the St. John’s river. He was seen upon one of those jetties about 4 o’clock, fishing. His body was found early the next morning, floating in the water off the south jetty, tangled in a fishing line. His watch stopped at 6:50 o’clock, indicating perhaps that the ac cident might have occurred just be fore that hour Sunday afternoon. DROWNING INDICATED, The autopsy at Jacksonville disclosed primarily the presence of water in the lnngs, indicating death by drowning. It disclosed further a number of bruises upon the body and limbs and head. The skull was not crushed. One bruise was on the chest. Another was on the right forearm. Others were on the right tem ple and Jaw, with minor bruises else where about the body. There was no evidence of deliberate violence: The theory was accepted that Mr. Catchings had hooked one of the big sea bass that are said to be running plentifully in those waters just now, and had been dragged into the water before he could brace himself, and that the line being wrapped around one hand or becoming entangled around his body he was towed under water by the ter rified fish and so was killed. This theory is supported by the report that sev eral fishermen have been Jerked into the water near there recently, from boats or jetty rocks from which they were fishing. It seems to be supported further by the fact that Mr. Catchings’ right hand was severely contused upon the knuckles and a ring on one finger of that hand was driven hard upon the flesh. It might have been that the line was wrapped and caught around that hand. DETECTIVES AT WORK. Detectives said to be employed by ac cident companies have been working on the mystery in connection with the Jacksonville police. A coroner’s inquest was to be held in Jacksonville Thurs day. Joel Mann Martin, of Atlanta, a rela tive of Mr. -Catchings, stated Thursday that the family of the deceased man ■was not prosecuting the matter, though a post-mortem examination was made in Atlanta Tuesday night at the fami ly’s instance by Dr. Stewart Roberts and Dr. Barfield. “That was done merely'to satisfy the family, who wished to have the 9pinion of two reputable Atlanta physicians up on the . matter,” said Mr. Martin. He added that Mr. Catchings did not have an enemy in the world, and that no one could have done him deliberate harm with any reason. Mr. Catchings* funeral was held Wed nesday from the home of his mother, Mrs. Mattfe Catchings, at 357 Capitol avenue. He was a prominent electrical engineer of Birmingham, but was a na tive of Atlanta and worked here in his profession for several years.

LOWER FREIGHT RATES WANTED BY WAYCROSS 'Sneoial Dispatch to The Journal.» WAYCROSS, Ga., Sept. 25.—To secure for Waycross a reduction in freight rates in accordance with recent deci sions of the interstate commerce com mission, President W. E. Sirmans, of the board of trade, today named a spe cial committee headed by former Mayor John M.

AS TATE’S SUCCESSOR At Recommendation of Sena tor Smith, Wilson Sends Nomination to Senate A disatch from Washington Thurs day morning stated that the nomina tion of Hooper Alexander to be United States attorney for the northern dis trict of Georgia was sent to the sen ate by President Wilson. Mr. Alexan der succeeds F. Carter Tate, who re signed recently at the request of Sec retary McReynolds. Mr. Alexander’s appointment to *the place was recommended to the depart ment of justice on Wednesday by Sena tor Hoke Smith. Mr. Alexander was given warm praise by Senator Bacon, who told the depart ment that the appointment was in the jurisdiction of Senator Smith, but that he himself considered Mr. Alexander to be capable and a high type of man. It was thought once that Mr. Tate and his assistants would be allowed to fin ish their terms, but Attorney General McReynolds recently asked for their resignations to become effective on Oc tober 1. Included In the resignations are John W. Henley, first assistant, and E. A. Angier, second assistant.

INSURANCE FEATURES OF TARIFF BILL DISCUSSED Important Decision Made on Exempting Premiums From Tax (By Associated Press.) MEXICO CITY, Sept. 25.—Frederico Gamboa, minister of foreign affairs, was nominated for the presidency by the Catholic party convention. Gen eral Eugenie Rascon was nominated for the vice presidency. Both candi dates are regarded as men of high standing. Senor . Gamboa accepted the candidacy. According to a prominent member of the Catholic party, the selection of can didates was made with the approval of General Huerta, and therefore means the elimination of Huertas as a presi dential possibility. The Catholic party, while supporting the present administration, morally and financially, it is explained, realized the futility of endeavoring to continue Gen eral Huerta in office in face of opposi tion on the part of the United States, and the consequent inability of the gov ernment-to borrow money. This atti tude was plainly indicated by General Huerta, who was brought to realize its consistency and finally sanctioned the proposed nominations and gave assur ance of his supoprt of the ticket. He said that he would not be the candidate of any other party or faction. Bryan Refuses to Talk On Gamboa Nomination (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—The nomi nation of Federico Gamboa, Mexican minister of foreign affairs by the Cath olic party for president, reawakened in terest in the Mexican situation. Secre tary Bryan declined to comment. While the United States utimately might recognize Gamboa if chosen at a legal and fair election, the disposition in official circles was to doubt whether he could be elected. Representatives of the constitution alist party declared the radical party of Mexico would refuse to recognize Gam- bos. The opinion of administration of ficials was that the nominee of the Catholic party could not triumph in a popular election in Mexico. IRISH POTATOES SCARCE IN ATLANTA AT PRESENT Due probably to a car shortage, At lanta is in the midst of an Irish potato famine.

TESTIFIES IN COURT AND DROPS DOWN DEAD (By Associated Press.) NEW YORK, Sept. 25.—K. Bornheim- er, a widely known brewer, dropped dead in a supreme court room in Brooklyn yesterday, after concluding his testi mony in a $10,000 suit brought by Gus tave Kenz, a painter, against Bemhelrn- ar'a brewing company. (By Associated Press.) WASHINGTON, SEept. 25.—Great in terest centered today about the decision of the tariff conferees to exempt from the income tax that portion of the pre miums on mutual life insurance policies returned to policyholders as dividends. Such action on the part of the conferees was unexpected, as the amendments originally made by the senate to that end had been dropped out before the bill went into conference. • f Under the decision reached last night, all life insurance companies writing mu tual policies and mutual marine insur ance companies are treated similarly. No part of their income is exempted ex cept that part of the premium on any policy that is returned to the policy holder as a dividend or rebate. The sen ate finance committee determined on such - action many weeks ago, but the amendment laid before the senate was not satisfactory and was withdrawn at the voluntary motion of members of the finance committee. The conferees decided last night that the provision was still within their ju risdiction and that they had authority to make the change. Holders of mutual insurance policies and insurance officers throughout the country have argued that such an ex emption ought to be a part of the in come tax to protect the right of per sons who hold dividend paying policies. The conferees today took up final work on the tariff bill. When they left the capitol at midnight, it was with the hope that the conference report could be sent to the government print ing office late today and be laid before the two houses of congress tomorrow. Few questions now remain. President Wilson’s suggestions and advice have aided the conferees in dis posing of all questions relating to for eign tariff or trade policeis.

(Special Dispatch to The Journal.) SAVANNAH, Ga., Sept. 25.—Dr. W. J. McNaughton, the condemned slayer of Fred Flanders, who is in Jail in Sa vannah awaiting the action of the gov ernor upon the application for clem ency which has been indorsed by a ma jority of the members of the prison commission, is very much depressed be cause of the news that comes down from Atlanta. He is beginning to fear that the governor is not going to par don him as the majority of the prison commission recommended, but that the best he can hope for is a commutation of his sentence to ljfe imprisonment. The doctor did not think for a mo ment that the governor would fail to carry out the wishes of a majority of the prison commission, but the tele grams received by the newspapers from Atlanta indicate that he may only com mute the sentence to life imprisonment. Dr. McN'-ughton and his friends are going to continue their work to con vince the governor if possible that he is entitled to a full pardon. | Wreckage of Boat That Sailed in 1788 Found Deep in Sand (By Associated Press.)
