NAMED BYTHURSDAY
President Akin Says He
Will Soon Complete
List. ‘ ’ *'
1 believe I will be able to announce
the senate committees Thursday morn
Ing,” said President Akin Monday.
President Akin Is hard at work on
h committees, and the fact that the
senate will not be in session until
Wednesday morning helps him In de
nting his time very largely to the
arduous task. President Akin stated
Monday that he had not fixed on a
single committee yet, but was simply
studying the various members with
the view of getting the right men for
the right plnces.
In the light of President Akin’s state-
ment that his committees will not be
ready before Thursday, It Is probable
that when the senate meets Wednesday
that it will Immediately adjourn over
to Thursday. However, ns Thursday
Is the Fourth of July, a motion to ad
journ over to Friday may prevail.
POLICE BOOK KEPT
FROM THE PUBLIC
State Docket To Be Locked
and Guarded In Fu

Special to The Georgian.
Dalton, Ga., July 1.—Dock Posey, a
white man about 85 years ot age, who
was lodged In Jail hers Saturday ev sit
ing. on the charge of attacking his 9-
year-old step-daughter, and who con
fessed to the crime yesterday, was ta
ken from the Jail between 1 and 2
o'clock this morning by a crowd of IS
men and hanged to the Gordon street
viaduct.
Posey was a railroad section em
ployee and resided at ROckyface, live
miles from DaltOn, to where he had
moved a few weeks ago from Walker
county.
Ho brought the child to DaJton Sat
urday for treatment, claiming another
man committed the deed. His action*
were suspicious and he was taken In
custody and locked up. Sunday he
confessed and last night about mid
night about twenty-live men, supposed
to have been from Rockyfaca neigh
borhood, rode Into the city, took charge
of and disarmed the policemen they
found, went quietly to the Jail, called
the sheriff out and, after taking him In
charge secured the keys.
They took the prisoner out, and after
hanging him quietly dlspemed.
The body was left hanging until this
morning, when It wae cut down by the
c nicer* and removed to the court house,
here an Inquest will be held.
The crowd was very orderly end

SLEUTHS WERE PUT
IN MINERS' HANKS
TO DISRUPT THEM
Detectives Advocated Vio
lence to Bring Them in
Disrepute.
Boise, Idaho, July 1.—Counsel for
William D. Haywood wilt, It Is said,
when court meets today, continue the
presentation of evidence tending to
prove that Orchard was an agent of
the mine owners and that the entire
prosecution of the officers of the West,
erri Federation of Miners was a gigan
tic plot to break up the organization.
Morris Friedman. McPartland's pri
vate secretary, will go on the etand
this morning and continue his startling
testimony concerning the methods of
the Pinkertons In having their men
elected union officers and counseling
violence In order to bring the union in
to disrepute.
The statements already made by
Friedman have created a sensation sec
ond only to that caused by the testi
mony of Orchard. It is stated that he
has even more sensational testimony to
prssent.
The prosecution Is getting resdy for
the cross-examination of Friedman and
that It will be bitter to a degree Is not
doubted.
No more will the argus-eyed news
gatherer of Atlanta cast his eyes over
the state docket at'the police station,
In search of the hest news of the day
In police circles.
So says Chief Jennings, and
knows. The chief announced Monday
that henceforth the state docket would
be kept under lock and key and that
no newspaper reporter would he per
mitted to see what Is written thereon
In making the announcement. Chief
Jennings stated that he was acting un
der Indirect orders from the board of
police commissioners, and that In fu
ture all cases coming Into the police
court which Involve sufficient violation
of the law to carry them Into the
higher coqrts will be kept • a secret
until they are recorded on the dockets
of the higher courts,

REPRESENTATIVE GLENN
TALKS ABOUT CRIME.
When shown the above dispatch
Monday Hon. George O. Glenn, repre
sentative from Whitfield county In the
Georgia legislature, said:
"I left home yesterday afternoon,
am familiar with the facts In the case.
I have no apologies to make. The only
error about the matter Is that nature
ever allowed such a creature to be born.
Any man that will commit the crime
that Posey did Is not entitled to any
thing except death. No punishment
that could be Inflicted would be too
severe. Such a man Is an outlaw of
the deepest dye. and Is entitled to no
protection whatever. No county nor
court should be put to the expense of
trying such a brute. No woman nor
gtrl should be made to rehearse the
horrible ordeal through which she had
passed. Hell Is not hot enough to pun
ish men that commit such crimes. Call
me what you will, say about mo what
you please, but I stand for the pro
tection, safety and Virtue of the women
of my native state."

TURN SCALE
Lawmakers Turning
Toward Local
Option.
What effect has Governor Hoke Smith’s
declaration In his Inaugural speech Satur
day that he was for local option had on
the prohibition situation in Georgia?
Up to that time It had been generally con
ceded that a straight pro&lbltlou bill along
the lines of the Hardman measure would
pass both branches of the general assembly
easily.
But hna the governor’s declaration that
he atood personally for local option aa the
solution of the lluuor question, with strict
laws to prevent the Importation of lntoxl-
Governor Smith stated that he would sign
any general prohibition measure passed by
the lawmakers. But the fact remains that
his personal and expressed preference for
local option has brought uhenalncss to the
ranks of straight prohibitionists. .
Will Give Loophole.
Already one hears * members of both
branches saying that (Governor Smith's po
sition will hare large influence on whatever
legislation restricting liquor traffic la passed
this session. Ersn the most pronounced
prohibitionists of tbo senate and house say
that It has given a loophole to tbs members
who felt Impelled to support a straight pro
hibition bill to meet the overwhelming pub
lic sentiment.
This undercurrent of opposition. If It may
be ao called, la known to the prohibition
workers. Hundny afternoon Itev. O. W
Young, of Louisville, one of the strong
forces In the National Antl-Haloon League,
addressed a large meeting lu Wesley Memo
rial church. A great mass mooting of the
prohibition forces has been called for Tuea-
the
i»e
presented to the legislature. It will demand
straight prohibition. One of jhe plans Is
to have In© prohibition f
tol to demand prohibition. ^ I
Interesting developments arc expected

Issue.

Captain Walsh compelled Boylan to

stains were found on his garments
Which led to his arrest.
TWO YOUNG ATLANTA WOMEN
WORK IN BLOODY BREATHITT\
To labor among the uneducated and
Illiterate whites In the feud districts
of Breathitt, Perry' and Knott coun
ties, In the mountains of Kentucky, Is
the noble vocation which has been
chosen by two well-known young wom
en of Atlanta, Miss Clemlna Patton
and Miss Bessie Link.
Miss Patton, who Is now' In Breathitt
county. Is the daughter of Rev. J. G.
Patton, pastor of the Presbyterlnn
church at Decatur. Miss Link, who Is
located within about six miles of Miss
Patton, Is the sister of Dr. J. A. Link,
the dentist, and Mrs. T. J. Ripley, wife
ot Attorney Ripley.
The young ladles left Atlanta about
two weeks ago to take up their work
In the mountains of Kentucky, where
Ignorance breed* crime and disrespect
for the law' of God and man. They are
working under the auspices of Dr. O.
O. Guerrant, a Presbyterian minister,
who has charge ot the mountain W'ork
In Kentucky.
The method of teaching adopted by
Miss Patton and Mlsa Link Is the
house to house canvass, teaching Sun
day school.classes wherever they can
get an audience, and at the same time
Instilling Into the minds of the Ken
tuckians of the mountains a respect for
law and order which many of them
have never know'n before.
Although the young ladles have only
been In Kentucky something like two
weeks, Dr. Guerrant, who has charge of
their work, has forwarded to their
friends and relatives In Atlanta most
encouraging reports of the vast amount
of good which they have already ac
complished.

The question of city extension may
bo settled by tho city council Monday
Btlemoon.
Tho report of tho Greater Atlanta
committee, which has had the extension
matter In charge until the present,
probably will bo submitted, and coun
cil will elthor take action Monday aft
ernoon, when It Is filed or refer the re
port to some commttteo. ‘
It Is practically conceded that tho re.
port as It stands will not be adopted
without considerable discussion and
probable wrangling. The bone- or
bones—of contention will be Decatur,
Kirkwood, East Point and Brooltwood.
Alderman Qullllan la against taking In
these municipalities on the ground they
are too distant, and there an; other
members of council whose thoughts run
along the name line.
The following committee from Brook-
wood will appear before council nnd
protest against the annexation ot that
suburb:
A. H. Davis, Dr. J. Clarence Johnson,
C. A. Davis, E. L. Douglas and W. F.
Wlnecoff.
The sentiment of council Is for city
extension, but there are many points
of difference as to the IlmltaUons and
the proper terms.
Council Monday afternoon will form
ally elect Nash R. Broyles recorder, and
Edward R. Hayes, building Inspector,
and the other nominees of the caucus.
Mayor Joyner will probably send in
hla appointments for city warden, li
cense Inspector and assistant license
Inspector. His appointees will be re
spectively, Thomas Evans, R. A. Ewing
and H. T. Hays.

When the matter of extension comes
