Boon to South,
Says Julian Harris
CHICAGO. Aug. 7 Colonel Roose
velt has .lust made public the full text
of a letter from Julian Harris, of At
lanta. Ga.. sent In reply to the colo
nel's letter on the negro question ad
dressed to Mr. Hatris several days ago.
In his communication Mr. Hatris
hailed the new Progressive party as
the greatest stimulus against faction
alism the South ever has received.
The letter said in part:
"l-’or the South you have open* d a
path that, if followed, will prove the
va; by which it may lelurn perma

the results of the Civil »a: brought on

of th*- South have- imbibed tin- doctrines

BARTLETTRAPS
DPPONENTWISE
Sixth District Congressman, at
Thomaston. Answers Fay
etteville Man’s Speech.
THOMASTON. GA.. Aug. 7. —Charles
i.. Bartlett, of Matron, candidate for re
election to congress from this, the Sixth
district, who has served eighteen con
secutive years, made a speech here in
the court house before 41)0 voters and
created a strong impression, l-'or nine
consecutive years the voters of I’lison
have carried this county In his favor,
this being the first county to ever sup
port him. This time he is meeting with
considerable opposition here.
After being introduced by Allen Wil
liams, of Yatesville, Mr. Bartlett spoke
for two hours. He quoted frequently
from the Griftin speech of his opponent.
.1 \\ . Wise, of Eay etteville, and said
that Mr Wise was a kind of a "semi-
Solomon ." who knew about half of
everything, except congress and the
congressional record. He said Mr.
j Wise had stated that he was not a
member of any important committee in
congress Judge Bartlett stated that lie
was a member of tlti appropriations
committee, a committee so important
that no member of congress could serve
on any other committee if placed on it
Arguing that seniority was of great
advantage, lie stated that he had been
in service longer than any other mem
ber save one.
Replying to Mr. Wise's statement that
he hud done nothing but send out
"speeches and gatden -eed." he went
into some of the measures advocated by
himself some* of which he passed over a
Republican house. While a member of
lite committee on banks and banking,
he said, he offered the amendment,
whieh passed, that national banks pay
I Interest on government money on de
| posit, thereby earning thousands of ciol
| lais annually to the government, and
that it was bis amendment that secured
the first appropriation for the depart
ment of justice to investigate the trusts.
He said the t ecord showed that he
repeatedly fought the trusts, and that,
largely through his amendment, the
rates on expies*. Pullman, telegraph
service w.-re reduced under the investi
gation of the interstate commerce com
mission I n tided almost, the amend
ment otYered. by him to put cotton bag
ging and ties and meat on the free list
was passed by the hous* and senate,
only to lie turned down by President
'l’aft. He reviewed other act.- while in

His Is a Real Fight for Congress
COOPER’S RACE NO JOKE
Macon Lawyer Shows Voters
He Really Means to Go to
Washington.
When John Randolph Hooper, well
known Macon lawyer, announced him
self a candidate for congress from the
Sixth district, some folks laughed and
thought it a good joke on Cooper.
Now, after Cooper has been in the]
race several months and the hot cam
paign Is drawing to a close, these same
folks don't know whether it is a joke
on Cooper ot not.
The congressman holding down the
job from the Sixtlt district is c'. |,.
Bartlett, also a Macon law yet . and lie
has been holding down the job for]
eighteen years. Cooper said Bartlett]
had. held it long enough and it was
time for him to retire nr be : etired. In
asmuch as Bartlett had no intentiort
of retiring. Cooper got busy to get him
retired.
He has macle a whirlwind campaign
and says he will keep it up until the
date for the primary. He has told the
volets frankly that lie was not urged
to make the race by a multitude of
friends as most of those seeking office
would say . He says nobody asked him
to run; that he Just wants tin* job and
has always had an ambition lo repre
sent his folks in the halls of congress.
Cooper a Real Fighter.
He is a tighter, too. is John Randolph
Coopet. He can use his lists as well aS
lie can fight through every court in the
land foi a client. He doesn't know
what il is to quit. Hi* wo-ked his way
and fought his way through the I’ni
versity of Georgia. He played football
then, and they say he was as mucli of
a bulldog in that game as lie was in
other games of life
He had to fight wh.-n he began prac
ticing law in Macon. Some people rid
iculed Cooper and thought he was a
joke. So om- day he thought he'd show
them a Jhfng or two and he did it by
throwing another lawyer out of a court
room window.
Aft*- that foiks quit folding wiih
c 'ooper.
Hooper specialized in criminal law.
and for tlie past ten or fifteen years he
has been connected with most of the
noted criminal cases in Georgia and a
few other states of the South. He is
know n in Washington. I). *'.. almost as
wed as he- Is known here, foi when he
fails to get action for a client in the
courts here he bents it to Washington
with some new legal point.
He took the famous Rawlings cas

his heart when he wrote old mnn Raw

Cooper was compensated, however,
foi his client was not convicted.
He is now running on a unique plat
form and he lias promised the voters lo
1 Scatter Hederal buildings throughout
the distiict where they haven’t any
or know the reason why. He says this
because he claims Congressman Bart
lett has been in congress eighteen
years and hasn't done anything except
get mad and throw a book at a
Yankee, and missed the Yankee. Coop
er also wants the Pederal government
to build roads in Georgia and do a lot
of other things he says ought to be

He is a fighter, is Cooper, and even if

WINGED CAR SPEEDS
62 MILES IN AN HOUR
PA ItlS, Aug. 7 The “winged car” has
been tried and proved a huge success.
Paris is showering praise upon the in

The ear went from Paris to Lyons,
about 320 miles, without a single mishap,
and made (lie distance m excellent time.
The car has I he appearance of an ordi

i is shaped like the prow of a ship. From
the extremity of the prow extends a shaft
to which the propeller is attached—or the
•‘wing.” as it is called.
The “wing” is <lriven by a 10-horsepow

NO ACCUSATION
IOSINS! GOBER
Sleuth Chief Declares Judge Is
Not Involved in Any Way
in Jewel Case.
According to N. A. Lanford. chief of
detectives, and W. I) Ellis, counsel for
the detective department, there is no
accusation of any kind today against
Judge George F. Gober, of the law firm
of Gober & Jackson, in connection with
the recovery of Jewels said to be a
part of those stolen in the famous dia
mond trunk mystery.
The ease came up fort hearing be
fore Justice Ridley, but at the request
of the detectives was continued until
Wednesday, August 14. in order that a
witness might be brought from Phila
delphia.
John Tye. counsel for Judge Gober,
declared that it was his client’s desire
that the ease be taken up at once,
that he might be exonerated of the
charges, in view of sensational publi
cations. and particularly an unfounded
reflection on a member of his family.
He maintained that Judge Gober had
no connection with the ease.
John D. Kilpatrick, attorney for Mr.
Jackson, said that Judge Gober had no
connection with the vase. W. D. Ellis.
Jr., acting for the city, insisted on con
tinuing the ease, but announced in open
court that no charge lay against Judge
Gober. Chief Lanford stated also that
it was not at his instance that the
name of Judge Gober had appeared in
the public prints.
The Jewels were not taken from
Judge Gober’s office. They were in a
safe in the office of Mr. Jackson.

BE ROSE ‘
Document Accusing Policeman
Becker in New York Scandal
Contains 10.000 Words.
NEW YORK. Aug. 7.—With Detec
tive William J. Burns and his corps of
sleuths working to substantiate the 'T
charges in the 10.000-word alleged ex
pose of Lieutenant Charles A. Becker’s
complicity in the murder of Herman
Rosenthal and general graft alliance
with the underworld, completed bv ’i
’’Jack" Rose last night, preparations i
were made today to arraign the a< - I
eused lieutenant for the third time on
the charge of procuring the murder of , I
the gambler. *
Former Assistant District Attorney
J. F. Mclntyre, perhaps the most »»»
perienved criminal lawyer in New York,
today entered into the case as counsel
for Beeke and after an early confer
ence with the latter in the Tombs
started his machinery in motion in ,m
endeavor to riddle Rose’s charges. <
It was stated that Detective f-jurns
some time ago opened a garni.ling house J
here with the intention of trapping a ;
high politician who was suspected of
snaring in the tribute levied upon the
underworld. Burns, who arrived in
this city yesterday from Baltimore, de
nied the story, as also did District At
torney Whitman. <
Mr. Whitman said that Burns had
been working on the Rosenthal cgs»
under his guidance and that he had
j full knowledge of Burns’ movements,
i "These positively did not include the
operation of a gambling house." the 1
district attorney declared.
Rose's Confession Detailed.
Rose handed his confession to Mr.
Whitman last night just as the latter
was leaving the West Side court pris
on, where Rose is confined. It is writ
ten in ink and covers 38 pages of fools
cap paper. Parts of it are at variance
with the ear,Her statements made by
the gambler, but Ros.e declares that
the statement is the absolute truth and
any different statements made earli-r
by him were inaccurate.
Rose tells in detail of the method he
alleges Becker adopted in getting evi
dence against gambling houses, the
keepers of which had refused to pay
protection money to his agents. He
tells how these recalcitrants were
b. ought to terms speedily ail’d of the 1
amount of money he collected monthly.
More important than anything else
he furnished to District Attorney
Whitman the names and addresses of
twelve gambling house proprietors from
whom he alleges he collected sums
ranging fro 3500 to $2,000 a month, ail
of which, he says, he turned over to
Becker.
Money Paid at Becker’s Home.
These exchanges of money. Rose al
leges. were made in Becker's home at *
West 110th street, in the presence of
itis wife, and frequently in the presence
of servants. The names of several >f
the servants are included in Rost’s
statement.
But Rose's statement is not confined
exclusively to his relations w ith Becker
as the latter’s alleged collector. The
final six pages of the confession are
devoted to a detailed account of his f
movements on the night that Herman ,
Rosenthal was shot to death in front of
the Metropole hotel.
