Clay remains silent In the Tower,
waiting for the supreme court to an

spoken rarely since condemned. His
friends and lawyers say that he is mad.
if the court finally decides that Clay
must die, his relatives will be asked for
his eyes Whether they will consent or
not is another contingent on which
Cashin’s hopes depend.
Clay has been in prison since the
spring afternoon when without appar
ent cause, he went to the homo of a
sister-in-law, in Lee street, and shot his
wife down in the hallway of the resi
dence. Mrs. Clay had not been living
with her husband for some time on ac
count of his Irregular habits.
At his trial, no defense was made
save a plea of insanity. Three alien
ists were appointed by Judge Roan,
who tried the case. They examined
Clay a number of times. Their report
to the court was that the man was
feigning madness.
The jury sentenced him to die. His
hanging was fixed for July 23. but an
appeal was taken to the supremo court,
and execution of the sentence was stay
ed until the final ruling could be made.
Despite his high hope, Cashin con

LOOSE BE TIES
OP STREET CARS
"Juice is out. Bill!" a’motorman yelled
back to his conductor today on a crowded
car at Five Points. The car had sudden
ly stopped on the Decatur street crossing.
Simultaneously every street car wheel in
town ceased t<j turn.
Passengers fussed and fumed at the
delay, but got no other explanation than
that the ’’juice’’ was out. The street car
men did not know the cause, many of
them will not until they read this, or talk
over the resulting confusion when they
gather at the barn tonight.
A single strand of wire and a careless
workman caused the delay. A workman
at one of the "arresting” stations be
tween Bull Sluice and Atlanta dropped
the strand of wire across the main line
of wires. Instantly there was a "short
circuit.” The current raced back to the
generators at the big plant and not a
wheel turned in Atlanta
This lasted for seven minutes, accord
ing to Milt Saul, of the Georgia Railway
and Power company. It was twelve min
utes from stop to start, according to a
private watch Mr. Saul’s timepiece may
have been slow.
At Five Points six cars were jammed
in the way of traffic and policemen
worked overtime in trying to keep the
string of horse and motor propelled ve
hicles winding in and out between the
ears.

BANKERSTOAIDIN
EXPOSING GRAFT
John D.. Jr., Forces New York
Clearing House to Turn Over
Suspicious Accounts.
NEW YORK. Aug. 14.—Bankers fol
lowing the directions of the New York
clearing house committee will turn over
to District Attorney Whitman:al! of
the suspected graft accounts on their
books so that the increasing fortunes
of police officials may be investigated
by the grand jury. In the unearthing
of the hidden stores of wealth It is al
ready asserted that four police in
spectors have been found to possess
deposits of staggering proportions.
The announcement of the unprece
dented action of the bankers followed
testimon; showing that Lieutenant
Charles A. Becker on a salary of $2,250
a year had deposited $58,845 in four
banks in less than nine months.
Pressure brought by John D. Rocke
feller, Jr., is said to have caused the
decision of the clearing house to aid
the district attorney.
It is expected that the anti-graft
mass meeting at Cooper Union tonight
will result in an auxiliary organization
of citizens which will lend material aid
to the official investigations now under
way. District Attorney Whitman, who
is handling the prosecutions resulting
from the Rosenthal .murder, will be on?

young attorney who is to conduct the
aldermanic committee's work, will also

Taftites Call It
“Third Term Party”
CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—Charles D. Hilfes,
chairman of the Republican national
committee, with Secretary' J. B. Reynolds
arrived in Chicago to make preliminary
preparations for the campaign. The two
men went at once to the national head
quarters in the Auditorium, where they
held conferences with the leaders of the
party who are already here. Directors of
the speakers and of the publicity bureaus
were to be selected today or tomorrow.
According to Chairman Hilles the Re
publicans will concentrate their fire on
Democrats, paying little heed to the
Progressive party.
"Wilson is the man we have to beat,”
said Hilles.
The Republican chairman incidentally
rechristened the Progressives. It is the
Third Term party- according to Hilles.
"That is what we shall call it. It is
especialy designed for third term pur
poses.”
Hilles announced that President Taft
would make no campaign speeches at any
place during the campaign.

PLUNI PROMISED
BYT.R.FORAID
OFHARRIMAN •
Willing to Send Depew to Paris
to Gain Magnate’s Money
for Campaign.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.—0 f the
Roosevelt-Harriman incident in 1904 ,•
and the contribution by the railroad
magnate of more than $200,000 to the
New York Republican state campaign,
still another conflicting version was re
corded today when B. B. Odell, former
governor of New York, testified before
the senate committee investigating
campaign expenditures.
Odell, who was chairman of the state
committee in 1904 and governor from
1901 to 1905, testified that the contri
butions, totaling approximately $250,-
000, were collected by the state com
mittee outside of a $500,000 contribution *
which had been promised by the Re
publican national committee. Records
were kept of these contributions, but
were destroyed at the close of the cam
paign. he said.
“Was your attention ever called to
a letter purporting to have been writ
ten by E. H. Harriman to Sidney Web- f
ster in 1906, in which Mr. Harriman is
said to have stated that in 1904 Presi
dent Roosevelt sent a request asking
him to come to Washington?” asked
Senator Clapp.
“I have seen the letter?”
"Do you know anything about that
request outside of the letter?”
"I do."
"State what you know.”
Harriman Called on T. R.
"Along early In October of 1904 I f
was requested by Mr. Harriman to
lunch with him. I went to his office
and during luncheon he showed me a
letter from President Roosevelt asking
him to come to Washington. We had
some conversation as to what the pres
ident desired to see Mr. Harriman
about, and I said it was my opinion
that he wanted to ask about the situa
tion in New York and consult about
the financial conditions.
Mr. Harriman said he did not care to *
go, but, after talking the matter over,
he said'he would go. I requested Mr.
Harriman to visit Mr. Roosevelt, and
I requested him to bring to the at
tention of Mr. Roosevelt the situation
In New York regarding the senatorial
campaign. I told him the organization
was in favor of the election of Gov
ernor Black to succeed Senator Depew,
but at the same time they felt kindly
toward Senator Depew and would like
to see him taken care of.
“I suggested that Mr. Harriman ask
Mr. Roosevelt if he could not send Mr. *
Depew as ambassador to France. Mr.
Harriman went to Washington and a
few days after I again lunched with
him and ascertained what had occurred
nt the conference with the president.
He said I was right.
Promised to Appoint Depew.
"The president was anxious about the *
financial conditions in New York and
he would like to have Mr. Harriman's
help. Mr. Harriman said the president
told him that if necessary he would do
as requested about Depew. Harriman
said he was ready to help the national
committee. I suggested that’ he wait ’
until the committee had exhausted all
other sources. I
“Subsequently Mr. Cortelyou came to I
my office and told me they were unable
to raise the money due the state com
mittee. I told him It was a very em
barrassing position for me and he asked
if I could not help out. I called up Mr.
Harriman on the telephone, told him •»
the situation and told him that if he
desired to help the national committee
the time had come. He told me to send
Cortelyou and Bliss to his office. Then
Mr. Harriman telephoned me that he •
had made arrangements and had raised
$240,000, which he had turned over to
Bliss. Bliss later gave me a check for
$200,000 and I gave him a receipt for f
this."
Odell admitted that representation
had been made to Harriman that the
finances of the campaign were in a se
rious condition, whereas they were not.

the one you have doesn't suit your taste.
Or surroundings are disagreeable. Or ,
salary isn't large enough. Or there's no
chance for advancement. If so, your *
