IL BIG REWARD FOR MISSING SLAYERS OF GAMBLER District Attorney, Despairing of Police Aid. Appeals to Cupidity of Gangsters. SCHEPPS, THREATENED, TO BE CLOSELY GUARDED Indictments Which Were Held Up Expected to Result From His Testimony. NEW YORK. Aug. 16.—Despairing of any marked success from police “ef forts” to arrest "Lefty Louie" and Har ry Horowitz, alias “Gyp the Blood, District Attorney Whitman will offer $5,000 reward for their capture. He hopes thus to appeal to the cupidity of the East Side gangsters, who may know the hiding place of the two men ac cused of firing .the shots that killed Herman Rosenthal. The offer of a reward is practically the last step which Mr. Whitman can take to effect the capture of the two gun men whom the police so far have failed to arrest, and the knowledge that he intends offering the reward is taken to indicate that he has little hope of the police in the future being more suc cessful than in the past. His action in going over the heads of the police department with such an offer is without precedent in this city. The district attorney has secured new clews as to the whereabouts of the two fugitives, and today detectives were sent to Methuen. Mass., and Duluth. Minn. “Bridgey” Webber Gets Postcard. The clew which turned the attention of the police to Methuen was in the shape of a postal card, inclosed in two sealed envelopes, received by “Bridgey” Webber in the Tombs. It read: “Dear pal, do the best you can. AVe are all right. “Your pals, (Signed) "L. AND G.' Webber at once declared the initials "L. and G.” stood for Louie and Gyp. With the grand jury in recess until next Tuesday, no official movement will be made until the arrival of Sam Schepps and his appearance before that body. If he tells all he knows, Mr. Whitman is confident that the grand jury will return the indictments that were held up yesterday. Schepps, who is on his way to New York from Hot Springs. Aik., will be kept in hiding by Mr. Whitman until he appears before the grand jury next week. This step is said to be due to reports that gangsters were plotting to "put Schepps out of the way” upon his arrival here. Schepps will be kept at Tarrytown. N. Y.. until next Monday, it is said. Reformers Raid Disorderly Resort. The reform organizations are accus ing the police of neglect of duty in stamping out vice, and eighteen disor derly houses in Inspector Lahey’s dis trict were raided simultaneously last night by direction of Assistant District Attorney Smith and Samuel Marcus, counsel for the Society for the Preven - tion of Crime. Their keepers were ar raigned today. Proof of the existence of a distinct organization in control of these places was announced. District Attorney Whitman expects Governor Dix to grant his request for the appointment of a justice to sit in extraordinary session of the supreme court, criminal branch, to handle the trials for the murder of Rosenthal. Probably Justice John W. Goff will be chosen. The trials will start in Sep tember. Dix Names Special Judge for Trials ALBANY, Aug. 16. —Governor Dix today designated Justice John W. Goff, of New York, to hold an extraordinary term of the supreme eourt for the trials growing out of th“ murder of Herman Rosenthal In New York city. District Attorney Whitman asked for the court to be convened September 1,1 and the request was granted. In announcing the appointment Gov- | • rno; Dix gave out a lengthy state- I ment asserting that the "shocking al- i legations in regard to an alliance be- | tween the police and certain classes of I law-breakers in New York city" should: !>•■ immediately and fearlessly inquired i into, and that “everything that has] made such a condition possible should ' b. trampled upon and destroyed." The Atlanta Georgian Read For Profit—GEORGIAN WANT ADS—Use For Results Baker and Barber to Mingle With Elite at Billion-Dollar Fete H. Clay Frick. Snubbed by Taft and Society, Goes Into High ways for Guests. BOST/ON, Aug. 16.—Henry Clay Frick, a Pittsburg steel magnate and Prides Crossing pride, is at odds with Northshore society over his billion-dol lar lawn fete planned for tonight. So ciety is not coming out the way it ought, Mr. Frick decided when the an swers to his invitations began to ar rive. Mr. Frick in this crisis, perhaps, turned to the Gospel for comfort. At any rate, his answer was to emulate a Gospel example and “go out into the highways and byways" of Prides Cross ing and the surrounding towns for guests to fill the vacant places. And as a result, two Beverly barbers, the Magnolia baker and several others not acceptable to the Northshore elite will ] stroll about the beautiful Frick lawn tonight. Publicity, the failure of the invited guests to respond properly and a gentle snub from President Taft are held responsible for Frick’s change of plans. Be that as it may, the billion-dollar fete won’t be nearly so pretentious as was at first planned. Frick has cut and ■lashed his own nrogram until the Northshore groans. DROPIjFTHEJPRiCE OF BEEF EXPECTED TO FOLLOW RECORD CHICAGO. Aug. 16.—Lower prices for beef. That was the prediction at the stock yards here folloving the top notch mark of $10.50 a hundred, touch ed in the market today. It is believed the highest price has been reached and that there will be a quick decline. The prices are expected to go down hill rapidly next week. The great packing houses are pre paring for an assault all along the line on the cattle market. Good grass in the great grazing stretches west of the Missouri river will cause the de cline. Cattle in the market have been very scarce. A good steer was worth $l5O to its owner. But cattle have begun to come in. A train load from Alberta, the fit st in years, ha.- been received and others have come in from every part of the grazing country.

SAMP.JONES TABERNACLE ROW GETS HOTTER Cartersville Is Stirred to Its Heart by Great Religious Controversy. THREE PASTORS OPPOSE 808 JONES’ EVANGELISM , Clash Between Clergy and Committee of Laymen Over Control of Revivals. CARTERSVILLE, GA.. Aug. 16. What appeared to have been a healing of the breach in Cartersville religious circles, when the Sam P. Jones taber nacle was "rebaptized” to the cause of evangelism at the monster meeting last Sunday, has since developed into a widening of the chasm. This com munity today is stirred to its heart by the religious controversy which has followed the action of the Sam Jones tabernacle committee in inciting Rev. Bob Jones back to hold annual revivals here year by year. Revs. W. T. Hunnicut. of the Meth odist church: J. M. Long, of the Bap tist church, and L. G. Hames, of the Presbyterian church, have withdrawn from tlie committee in charge of the famous tabernacle’s 1913 campaign. They charge that the committee of lay men was illegally elected on a cut and dried program and that this committee has exceeded its authority in assuming to name Jones as the tabernacle re vivalist in the future or in assuming to control the operation of the tabernacle property—the deed of which rests in the hands of trustees appointed several years ago by the various churches of Ca rtersville. Moreover. Rev. Mr. Hunnicut de clares that Jones "steam-rollered” him while he was here at the revivals which closed Sunday. Dissension Threatens To Split Churches. The dissension threatens to extend into the churches themselves, but the three dissenting pastors remain ada mant in their determination not to consent to Jones' return here under the appointment of the present committee. They have announced that in their pul pits next Sunday they will air the whole controversy before their congre gations. They have resolved among themselves that the tabernacle com mittee behind Jones is not an author ized body and is usurping the func tions of the churches. All of them are agreed that Cartersville does not need revivals such as the one just closed, though they are willing to countenance evangelistic meetings in the tabernacle next year, provided the churches are allowed to exercise authority in the choice of a committee and arrange ments. Committee Declares Pastors Are Jealous. The members of the committee claim that in taking this stand the pastors are following the wishes of a very lim ited few: that the great mass of the Pecfple are demanding that the meet ings be continued each year, and that they demand Bob Japes as their re vivalist. They declare furthermore that the three ministers are jealous because they were not made head and front of the moverffent when It started They declare that the ministers are also opposed to Jones. The committee declares that it has no intention of taking the matter out of the hands of the church-appointed trustees, but has simply Invited Jones because he was the choice of the congregations at the recent Tabernacle meetings. They have already received 400 signatures to a subscription list to defray the expenses of the next year's meeting and the sum subscribed is -aid to approximate SI,OOO. The plans for the next year's revival call for Jones and probably “Gypsy” Smith to preach for twelve days. Where to Live That's the questtlon that should be of greatest concern to Atlantans.

Flirtation germs are declared io gen erate prolific!) in elevator shafts an I the mirrored sides of elevators are said by authorities on the subject to be tile cause. Those who believe that flirta tions have a baneful influence on the morals and peace of mind of members of the community are seeking -to de stroy the institution by uprooting the cause. The elevator mirror must go. In Atlanta the lifts in every building now under construction and in practi cally all the more modern structures are as sans looking glass a.-j the abode of a Digger Indian in his untutored state. The call of “going up" will nev er in the future be a signal for the easting down of eyes of the fair con tingent of the passenger list. Philadelphia originated the idea.

BROTHER TO CLAIM AND BURY THE SLAYER’S BODY Georgia Law Provides Nearest Relatives of Hanged Man Shall Have Corpse. The eyes of Robert L. Clay, wife slayer, condemned to die for his crime will never be used to restore the sight of John Cashin, the blind paper seller of Atlanta, who thinks that he could see again through the transplanting of the orbs. Clay's family has objected. John Clay, brother of the condemned slayer, says he will never permit mutilation of the body. Though the sins of the brother be as scarlet, the love that brother bears brother lives. As Robert Clay dies, so shall he be buried. This is the family's ultimatum. And the family has absolute control of the dis position of a body’ of a man the courts have decreed unfit to live, Georgia law provides that the nearest relatives of a man who suffers execu tion on the gallows shall have the right to dispose of the body, unless the con demned man himself makes provision tor its disposition. Under this statute John Clay will claim and bury the body of the wife killer, provided the su preme court affirms the sentence of the ■ trial judge. Brother Refuses To Consider Proposal. The proposed operation was submit ted to John Clay. His refusal was final. "My brother does not know me," he said, and earnestness was written in every line of his face and reflected tn his eyes. I have called on him re peatedly at the Tower and begged him to speak to me. He did not recognize me. He does not recognize the fate that may await him. He is not re sponsible for anything he does now. He was not responsible when he killed his wife. “We like to think of him as the baby of our family, the best loved of all we boys. I could not bear to think of his being buried, mutilated. I would like to see Cashin's sight restored, but I think the operation impossible, and I could not think of its being at the expense of my brother, who has suf fered so much already.” Hopes Yet to See His Old Church Out of the world's myriad beauties, out of the thousands of things of grip ping interest that human eye can see. four views alone stand out in the am bition of John Cashin, blind Atlanta news seller, who believes his sight will be restored by having the eyes of a condemned slayer transplanted to his sightless sockets. The first object he would have un folded to his new-born sight is stately St. Johns Cathedral in Richmond. Va., the city where he worshiped as a boy. His second wish is to know the hum ming city in whose heart he has lived in total darkness for'fourteen years. The third desire is for the power tc view nature’s glories, to be given the ability to distinguish the brilliancy ot the sun's rising from the amber beauty of its setting. And his fourth wish is to gaze on the countenance of Judge Nash R. Hroyles, redoubtable Atlanta police magistrate, with whom he has come in contact on more than one occasion. Then He Would Get Acquainted With His City. If the operation is successful. Cashin intends to board the first train for the Virginia capital, and when he reaches there he plans to hurry to the cathedral where he worshiped as a boy. All his life he has been told of the beauty and impressiveness of this structure. It has counted much in his life and in the life of his friends. He wants to see how it looks. Then he wants to know Atlanta. For fourteen years he has sat each day in tlie very heart of the city, and he knows no more of its nature than a Hottentot. He has heard ot the mon ster buildings. He wants to see them He has heard the tramp of thousands of feet as they pass him or pause that their owners might purchase paper*- He knows no Atlanta face. He waiiti
