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 nently to the- exalted position It had once as a birthright, and which, by virtue, of statesmanship, it held until the results of the Civil »a: brought on it upnatural and artificial party soli darity.

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*.

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 there a time or two and it neatly broke his heart when he wrote old mnn Raw lings anti told h*m to prepare to mei t h s God He confessed to the old mat. that all hope had gon*-. But ho saved "Id man Rawlings' three sons and aft*; five yea's' work he vas made happy when Governor Hok" Smith pgrdom-d I two of them. Hooper always has been firm in his belief that the three boy s had no hand in the bloody Lowndes county- wo k and lie does not think old man Rawlings was mentally responsi ble for itis slvare in it Judge Speer "Got His Goat." Il is said that nobody ever got t'oop "t ’s g.*:i: except Judge s: . ,-.. of the i’nlted States cou t in Macon IHooper w-fte defending a man chargi-d with stealing a mail sack. There wasn't much widen* •- in favor of Coop er s client and he eloquently pleaded hi* client's cans* befme tile Jury am! j p**inted out tit* danger of putting stripes on an American citizen through I circumstantial evidence And in the mids: of this speech he wheeled upon Judge Speer, shook his fist unto heav n and his h* a*| until his read hai stuoci upon end ami vehemently exclaimed: I want your honor to -hargc* 'em on that point." | Judge Spec: straiaotcn- cl an i look ing at Cooper as if h-- we about to i nd him :o jail lot ,on , mpt bul j " 'l'tivu canst not say 1 il.

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 . done. He is a fighter, is Cooper, and even if ■ he doesn’t win, the voters in th*- Sixth district will kn**w there has been a i scrap.

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. 3 Shoe Specials FOR THIS WEEK REBUILDING SALE One Lot Ladies’ Low Shoes and Pumps, mostly small sizes. 1 Reduced from $3.50 to $6.

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.
