No work in the entire South land appeals so strongly to me as a factor in the moral uplift of our people. Atlanta is crazy if she does not support the Tabernacle in stitutions—if for no other than a business reason. Put me down for $5,000. JAMES H. ANDERSON. Mr. Anderson is one of the leading merchants of Knox ville, a senior partner in the Anderson-Doolin Company. He subscribes $5,000 to the fund for completing the Taber nacle enterprises because he believes in the work that is being done. Yet as a keen and able business man he sees what the success of the Taber nacle enterprises mean to At lanta in a business way. Mr. F. L. Seely, Atlanta, Ga. Dear Sir: I read with a great deal of interest in yesterday’s Georgian that you are going to come to the rescue of Dr. L. G Broughton. , , You have done so much for Georgia in the convict lease 6ystem especially, and now that you have taken up the fight for Helping a man who has done more for Atlanta, or as much at least, as any man that ever lived in Atlanta, I want to thank you and express my ap preciation of same. I heartily indorse all you said about the doctor in yester day’s paper, and I know that the people of Atlanta are going to stand by you in this noble movement, especially when they consider the great pood that has been dohe, and will be done by his various institu tions. Thanking you again, I beg to remain, Yours truly, BAYNARD WILLINGHAM. Egan, Ga., May 24,1910. Accused Man Tells Story of the Fateful Evening on Ocean Pier.

J, May 25^-The climax of the trial of William Seyler, accused of the murder of Jane Adams on the million dollar pier at Atlantic City last February, wa» reached today when the defendant himself took the witness stand. His story was a complete denial of the charge of murder. A dramatic moment In the accused man’s recital came when, naked If he had seen Jane Adams fall overboard, he cried: "No; I swear by Almighty God that I did not.” He told of his movements and those of his brother on the night of the trag edy with many details. Herbert Pasco, a contractor, had made an appointment to meet him at the Reading depot ln regard to a job. he said. While walk ing to the depot, Seyler went on, two of the Adams children told Orris that Alice, sister of Jane Adams, wanted to see him. "We met Janie Adams and her sis ter Alice,” he said.

Lights were not on, so we walked out on the pier. When we got to the Mis slon bedding Orvls said: Here's chair large enough for two.’ "I walked away soma distance and said. 'Coma, let's go In,’ but Orvls said It was too cold. Orvls asked me to wait with Janie, ns ho wanted to talk to Alice. "Orvls and Alice walked around be hind the Mission house. I wanted Janie to go Into the Wave motor power house, but she refused.” *Is that whero you told the police that you last saw Jane Adams?” In terrupted Saylor's counsel, Mr. GaskllL "Tea sir,” answered the wltneas. “Is that where you saw Jane Adams tall overboard T” “No, air.

Neither of the officials would make a statement In regard to the reeult of the report. Mr. McKee did state, however, that during his vlelt he had gone over with the first assistant postmaster general the requests of the heads of the sev eral departments of the local office, but that no definite conclusion was reached. It Is believed that the department will grant the requests for more clerks and carriers since the city of Atlanta has grown to such proportions.

"For the first time the secretary of the state, John T. Michel, sits'In tho executive chair, be cause all the rest of us are on our way to ,Washington. With us Is tho lieu tenant governor, Paul M.

Garland Dupre,* speaker of the house of representatives of Louisiana, said: "It will cost three times aa much for the people of the United to go to San Francisco, counting railroad, Pullman faro and board during the Journey, than It will to go to New Orleans. - This fact alone, we think, will give us the exposition. •- 1 . "A fact showing the great Interest the people have In the movement Is that the legislature adjourned during a busy session to take the trip." The party will reach Washington early Thursday morning. At 10 o’clock Thursday they will go before tho house committee and on Friday morning they will go before the aenate committee on expoeltlon affaire. They will leave Washington for the return trip on Fri day night. "New Orleans, geographically,’’ said Sam Blum, chairman of the publicity committee of the World's Panama Ex position Company, "should be th# log os] point for the holding of the World's Panama exposition. Situated, as It Is, at the mouth of the greatest river ln th# world,' traversing ths en tire length and breadth of the richest section of the world—the great Missis- valley—It can be reached by 20,000.000 persons within a radius of ,500 miles. "With reference to the foreign at tendance.” added Mr. Blum, "we find that New Orleans Is again the logical I joint. The people can land at our docks without the necessity of the long trane-contlnental ride by rail. As a matter of fact, the whole United States will be benefited by holding this expo sition In New Orleans, and the South particularly, which now offers the greatest opportunity from every point of view as to Its great natural re sources and the greatest field for In vestment and development" Placed Statute of Limitation.

Madrid, • M«y 2&—Secret warnings have been eent to tho government offi cials ' at, Lisbon that an attempt upon the life of King Manuel la likely to be mado upon , his. return from London. The' Spanlih police In tracing thq de tails of . the widespread anarchist plot fbr a campaign of terrorlem have found that not- only are King Alfonso and King Manuel of Portugal marked for death, but members of their govern ments a» well. ‘ It la bolleved that the conspiracy extends no farther than the Iberian peninsula, but secret service officials of. other governments are co operating In tbe work of ferreting out the conspiracy. It Is reported that several have been secretly arrested here and there are even hints that the conspiracy extends i army circles. The scheme embraces a general up rising on the Iberian peninsula, wlth- regard to national boundaries, ac cording to the facts already learned. Only England’s position as a political i prevented attempts on Alfonso anuel In London during the obse- quire over King Edward. It was upon advices sent from here, however, that the Parts police, upon the arrival of Manuel there, took extraordinary pre cautions to guard tbe Portuguese mon- ’s life.

We have not devoted suf ficient time and attention to Its man agement,” eald Councilman Craig Co- field, of the city prison committee Tues day afternoon. The statement, which followed a request that the finance committee set sslde 313,725, brought on considerable discussion and ths fact was brought out that the original esti mate by H. L. Collier, commissioner of public works, of the coat of Improve ments at the stockade, was consider ably off, the figure resulting In a short age of money when the 315,000 provided by the finance committee was exhaust ed. The finance committee couldn't allow the additional sum needed to complete the stockade Improvements, saying It wasn't there to be spent The prison pa dlnance requiring certain Improvements and the ordinance must be carried out. The muter "ns rHrrl-d nvr until ths meeting of the finance committee on Wednesday nflernn-in. when It will be taken up again. When the January sheet was made up an estimate of the cost of tbe Im provements that were to be made at the stockade was figured by Commissioner Collier. Basing their appropriation upon these figures, tho finance committee gave the stockade 113.000. The commltteo has begun an addition to tbe main stockado building. They say this addition la absolutely neces sary to provide sleeping apartments for the prisoners. Mr. Collisr’s estimate was that the addition would cost 365,- ooo. "That is where our January appor tionment runs perceptibly short" said Councilman F. o. Foster, a member of both tho finance committee and prison committee. “Mr. Collier estimated that the cost of tho building would be 366.- 000, while as a matter of fact It will cost considerably more." Councilman J. C. Vaughan, who was the principal spokesman for the prison committee, said that In order to heat' tho building as provided by the ordi nance of council and furnish clean clothes to tho prisoners It waa abso lutely necessary to erect a new build- ' ig ln which to Install a boiler of auf- clent alze for both purposes. "Tho waterworks, department has Iven us a boiler of sufficient size," said r. Vaughan, "but wltholtt building a now structure we have no place to put "Did you gentlemen spend this Jan uary appropriation without considering how far It would go T’ asked Mayor Maddox. In the discussion that followed Coun cilman Craig Cofield said: nor any of ths committee have done our duty In regard to this stock ade; we have not given sufficient time to It." Alderman W. A. Hancock arose and said: "Gentlemen, I suppose you heard what Mr. Cofield eald. The other mem bers of the committee fiave assented by their silence. I want to hear If they, too, admit they have not done their duty." 1 did say that we have not done our duty; that we have not devoted suffi cient time and attention to the man agement," said Mr. Cofield. There were protests from other mem. •rs of the prison committee nrenent. They eald they had done their - alyels the finance committee hasn't the money that this committee asks. We want you gentlemen to consider and de. die where a few thousand dollars could best be expended, for that Is about as much as can possibly be given to the stockade." bomb < ble while I BUT ONE MORE DAY LEFT TO JOIN GREAT CHORUS No more singers will be enrolled In the great festival chorus after Thursday.
