Miner was recaptured within 25 or 30
miles of Milledgeville, near the Oconee

creeks and swamps. He had worked

lift SAYS
COCHRAN
City Park Board Head Renews
Attack on the Construction
Department.
DENOUNCES WASTE AND
WANTON VANDALISM
Atlanta’s Money Wasted and
Property Destroyed, He Says.
Big Row Precipitated.
J. O. Cochran, president of the city
park board, declared in an interview
today that leading members of the city
council had informed him that the de
partment of chief of construction
would squander $200,000 this year. Ht
said that they had also told him that
while more street work had been au
thorized by council than ever before,
less would be done than in several
years.
Mr. Cochran and the department are
at daggers drawn today following a
denunciation of the construction de
partment by Mr. Cochran at the meet
ing of the park board yesterday, when
it was reported that the park plot in
the center of North avenue had been
mutilated by the laying of a sewer.
Cochran Denounces
Construction Department.
"It is an outrage and indefensible,”
he declared. "Not only does this de
partment waste the people's money,
but it wantonly destroys city property.
"It reeks with Incompetency and
mismanagement
“It is not the fault of the city coun
cil. The department never obtained
authority from council to destroy this
attractive flower bed. It is nothing
less than an act of vandalism."
Playground Row
Fails to Develop
The other members of the board
were in accord with President Coch
ran.
The looked-for row over the transfer
of Miss Fannie Spahr, director of Mims
park playground, to the directorship of
the Grant park playground did not ma
terialize. Miss Mary Barnwell, super
visor of playgrounds, opposed this
change and a number of members of
the board declared they would support
her Commissioner M. B. Young said
he had enough votes to make the
change, anyway, but that he would not
press the point at present.

Ninety New York Votes

They Can Secure His
Two-Thirds Majority.
Ryan Del egates,
Withheld From Clark,
Also Given to Wilson.
Facts Disprove
Bryan’s Charges
Against Clark.
BALTIMORE. July i;—The
nomination of Woodrow Wilson
has exonerated Champ Clark
from the malicious and untruth
ful charges made by W. J. Bryan.
The votes of the New York
delegation were cast, for Wilson,
just when they were needed to
secure the nomination for him.
Many Underwood delegates
and the Virginia delegation, con
trolled by Thomas F. Ryan,
swung into line for Wilson when
if became possible for their votes
to nominate him.
These same votes were with
held from Clark when they would
have nominated him.
These facts utterly disprove the
statement made by Bryan on the
floor of the convention when he
brazenly attacked Clark as the
candidate of Charles F. Murphy.
Ryan and the interests, and said
he would support no man who
had been endorsed by them.
The Murphy votes were east
for Clark too late to nominate
him. The Ryan votes were ready
when Wilson needed them.
Democrats Declare
They’ll Sweep Country.
With the nomination of Woodrow
Wilson for president and Governor
Thomas R. Marshall, of Indiana, for
vice president, and the adoption of a
progressive platform, the departing
Democratic hosts from Baltimore de
clare they will sweep the country next
fall. It was a noteworthy circumstance
that little or no bitterness marked the
victory of Governor Wilson, despite the
fact that the battle had been waged
here in convention for over a week
There was an optimistic feeling on the
part of the delegates as they departed
for their home. • The general opinion
was I hat the wings of the party were
united and the South. East and West
are satisfied with the outcome.
When the convention adjourned at
1.56 o'clock this morning, after one of
the most desperate struggles in its his
tory, the delegates felt that they had
nominated the strongest ticket possi
ble under the circumstances.
The central figure of interest as the
convention broke up was William J.
Bryan, who had created more excite
ment than any other man in the con
vention. During the closing hours of
the convention Mr. Bryan took the plat
form and his last appearance before
the delegates was in some respects the
most spectacular of the incidents ac
companying the convention. Mr. Bryan
said:
"Mr. Chairman and gentlemen of the
convention:
"You have been so generous with me
in the allowance of time that I had
not expected to transgress upon your
patience again, but the compliment
which has been paid me by the mem-
