It was found also that many newsboys spent the earlier hours of the evening at moving picture shows. The investigators were amazed to find a number of little girls among the late wanderers. A conference was held, as a result of this investigation, between Mr. Jacobs. Mr. Hyman and Probation Officer Tin dall. The age of children to be af fected by the new Ifew was not decided upon, but the hour will be 9 o'clock. It was proposed that parents who allowed children to be out later khan that be penalized.

The district attorney also was inter ested in a dispatch from Detroit which stated that another Rosenthal suspect, believed to be either "Gyp the Blood" Horowitz or "Lefty Louie" Rosenberg, was under arrest there.

A thorough investigation of charges of graft in connection with the Rosen thal case will be started early in Sep tember. when Supreme Court Justice John W. Goff opens an extraordinary term of the supreme court. According to the plans of Justice Goff and District Attorney Whitman today, a sweeping "John Doe" graft investiga tion will be smarted at the beginning of the session.

Testimony is said to have been given the grand jury that it was “Big,Jack” Seelig who secured the paid killers for Becker when the latter concocted his attack in the plot to put Rosenthal out of the way. Harry Horowitz, "Lefty' Louie," Jack Sullivan and "Dago Frank" Cirofici were rounded up and taken to a Rockaway Beach hotel a week be fore Rosenthal was killed. All were well supplied with money, and were ap parently being held until a chance of fered to "get" Rosenthal. Samuel Spielberger. clerk of the ho tel. according to this report, told the gland jury that the party spent the time apparently waiting for a message from New York.

Hooper Alexander, of DeKalb county prohibition candidate SLATON LANDSLIDE IS INDICATED; PENDLETON AND DORSEY LEADING Alexander Refuses to Comment on the Tide of Ballots—Hall Declares He Is Getting Heavy Vote and Is Confi dent He \\ ill Beat Atlanta Man. The state ot Georgia east a heavy vote for governor and state house officers today, and late reports from all points throughout the state indicated the accuracy of former forecasts—-the gubernatorial contest is a runaway for John M. Slaton. Slaton, in a late statement, says that his vote will he even larger than anticipated, and that his original estimate of 120 counties, if anything, too low. Alexander at 1 o (dock would make no prediction, but said he had made the best tight he knew how. Joe Hill Hall, in a wire from Macon, his home, says he is getting a big vote throughout the state and claims victory. Reports to The Georgian, from its various correspondents, hear out those same correspondents’ former estimates. Gubernatorial ly, everything seems coming the Atlanta num’s way. Pottle Appears To ' Be Defeating Broyles. Tremendous Interest is being mani fested in the race for commissioner of agriculture, the railroad commissioner ship contests, and the race for the court of appeals. In some sections, the interest in the attorney generalship race, the school commissioner contest and the prison commissioner tight is keen, tint, broad ly -peaking, the state is not concern ing Itself today acutely with any one of these disputes. Present indications are that the race for commissioner of agriculture is ex ceedingly close, with little to suggest a definite conclusion now as to final re sult. The present railroad commissioners, up for re-election seem to be slight favorites in the reports on that race—- Gray. Trammell and Hi liver. There is much room for changes in these indi cations, however. Judge Pottle seem- to be decidedly a favorite over Recorder Broyles for the succession to the court of appeals bench and likely will succeed himself safely. Felder Reported , Slightly in Lead. Eelder and Jones ate breaking nearly ev.-n on the attorney generalship fight, with Eelder a slight favorite.

Returns Will Be Slow to Arrive. It will require final returns to deter mine the result between Bartlett ami Wise, in the Sixth; Crisp and Shaw, in the Third: Walker and Parker, in the Eleventh, and Holder, Bell ami Charters in the Ninth. The various legislative races through out the state, coupled with the acute interest in some of the contests for stalehouse offices; have served to bring out a full vote In praeticajly every county. The weather generally lias been Ideal, and if present proportions hold good, the vote should run well over 150,000 in the state at large. The complete returns likely will bo slow coming in. The ticket voted in to day's primary Is very long, and the counting necessarily will lie slow. The lountrx precincts close at 3 o'clock, but many of the city boxes do not close until 7.
