Federal Attorneys Not at the Meeting

Washington, April S.VThls statement
was given out at the department of
justice this afternoon:
The attorney-general has received
authentic Information from Jackson
ville, Fla., to the effect that neither
United States Attorney Clark nor
United States Marshal McKay par
ticipated in the meeting of Cuban
sympathizers at Jacksonville, Fla., yes
terday, and all reports to the contrary
are false.
THEY WEHE BOTH THERE.
Jacksonville, April 5.—The United States
officials who attended the mass meeting
held In this city last night to express
sympathy with the Cuban revolutionists
do not seem at ail disturbed by the re
port from Washington that their pres
ence at the meeting is disapproved of by
tho federal authorities, united Slates
District Attorney Clark and United
States Marshal McKay, when shown the
dispatch from Washington stating that
Attorney. General Olney would demand
an explanation of their presence, said
they did not fhtnk that they had vio
lated any of the proprieties. They stated
that they attended the meeting merely
out of idle curiosity and took no part In
the proceedings whatever. They ray they
did not vote on the resolutions that were
adopted.
m reference to the later startement that
Mr. Ulney nos received tefonastie!' **»«'
the officials did not attend the meeting.
If .he (Olney) has received such in-
formation. H Is absolutely faises. Messrs.
Clark and McKay were at the meeting
and hundreds saw them. They do not
deny that they were present, and they
came to the Southern Associated Press
agent to axplain thetr presences, which
explanation is given In the beginning of
this dispatch.
In the report of the meeting aent out
last ntghit it warn not stated that Atorncy
Clark and Marshal McKay took part In
tho proceedings In the sense of making
speeches. Their presence was simply
noted, as was that of other prominent
cltlxens of Jacksonville. It would be In
teresting* to know wno is Olney'a author
ity for the statement "that neither Clark
nor McKay were at the meeting."

afternoon and s-rvi-il on Stein ai h
slice by Deputy Sheriff Oivenu of Ful

th? $SX- bond required and took llw
arrest quietly.
Tho alleged criminal Ifliel grew out of
an Item published in Stein’s paper last
week under a -Mudlxon date line. No
name* wen* mentioned In th*> Item, but
tho people of the town had little illtfi* ul-
ty In hknUfylng Dr. 8toko*’ wife aa ilie
lady referred to. Mr". Stokes wae re
ported to be abort $30 In her account
with a social club, of which she was
treasurer, and tho article Intlmonaxi
further that there was more of a s.nsa-
tional character to come.
Ytsierday Dr. Stokes accompanied ty
a couple of friend*, came to Atlanta mul
made a call on Editor Stein at hls of-
lire. He demanded the name of tl*:
writer of the Item. Stein nays Lr.
Stokes aalid hls friends were armed end
bent on making trouble. He told them
to come back at I o’clock, at which
•line he would have the reply ready.
Wnon the angry demist and bis frlenaa
returned at the appointed hour they
found two polloemon In Stein’s office.
Tbe editor had sent for them to | re-
Sirt-e order- Stein refused to give the

Stokes and hls friend* left, warning
the e*t tor In tho presence of too polire-
Uien that he would hoar from him

Among those Interested in the forma
tion of the state association preheat
beside* the local manufacturers was
was,Major J. F. Hanson of Mscon,
Major Hanson being tho author of the
Idea. He made an address to the meet
ing, In which he set forth clesrly and
forcibly the plans and tho reasons.for
tile undertaking. -He aaid It was not
the Intension to call a crowd of men
together for a banquet, but that It
was a purely business matter, the need
of tho drgantzaitlon appealing io un-„
as a question of business policy.
Speeches on tho same line were made
by others and, upon tho Information
presented by Mr. J. H. Martin, who
has been engaged in corresponding
with -manufacturers all over the state
on the subject. It was decided to call
a meeting of the manufacturers of the
state for May 7th and 8th for tho
purpose of organizing the Georgia
Manufacturers' Association. Commit
tees were appointed to ’secure a hall
and make such other arrangements as
are necessary for tbe convention. The
manufacturers of the state are deeply
Interested In the proposed association
and the convention next month will
doubtless bo largely attended.
Major Hanson set forth the objects
of tho proposed association In hls ad
dress by presenting the following ex
tracts from the address recently Issued
by hlmelf and hi* associates suggest
ing tbe organization:
•'1, Mutual benefit that would result
from extended acquaintance and In
