Bryan in reply to a question as to what
he considers th- paramount issue con
fronting the incoming congress. He
said he believed the demand for pub
licity of campaign contributions had
amply justified itself. He still believes
a better condition will also exist if con

campaign expenses.

“Colonel Roosevelt once suggested
this In a message. I immediately ad
vocated It and still believe in it. The
plan has not been tried," he said
“the Nebraska statesman believes
that publicity also has had a favorable
effect upon the size of contributions.
"However, when the idealist in poli

the sake of the ‘ldeal’ he ought to have
a guardian appointed for his estate,"
continued Mr. Bryan.
Mr. Bryan refused to speculate on the
future of the Republican party.
“I have been worrying for years
about the Republicans keeping straight

Mr. Bryan said ho had no set ap

my FACE TRIAL
That Augustus J. Fenn, the promi
nent south Georgia lumberman’ who
disappeared several years ago and was
reported drowned, may be prosecuted
In tlie Georgia courts for conspiracy to
defraud two insurance companies was
intimated by an officer of the Southern
States Life Insurance Company today.
R. H. Roberts, one of the men who
swore in open court that he saw Fenn
fall Out of an open boat and disappear
beneath the waters of the Appalachi
cola river one moonlight night almost
three years ago, already hns been lodg
ed in the Crisp county jail charged with
perjury and his partner, J. S. Land,
who swore to the same thing, is btyng
sought by the officials of Hit- county on
the same charge.
The officials of the Southern States
Life expect th>- # trial to bring out some
unusual developments. If their expec
tations are fulfilled. Fenn, who now is
in Texas or Mexico, will be appre
hended by detectives and brought back
to Georgia to face the charge of con
spiracy. He was released at New Or
leans several weeks ago lifter being
found at the end of a two-year search
by the Pinkerton detectives.
Land, who was said to have been in
the boat with Roberts and Fenn, has
disappeared and no trace of him can be
found in Crisp county or the surround
ing country. Roberts, who is in jail,
absolutely refuses to talk. The insur
ance officers say they will prove that
but two men started down the river in
the boat, those two being 1-atui and
Roberts, and that Fenn framed it up
with the two to pretend that he was
drowned.
When Fenn was apprehended in New
Orleans, his wife, who actually believed
him drowned, according to the insur
ance officials, was winning a suit for
$15,000 life Insurance which he carried.
The trial of Roberts and of laind, if
lie is i aught, will take place at the next
term of the Crisp superior court. If at
that time a conspiracy is proved the
insurance company will seek to have
Fenn returned and sent to the peniten
tiary for conspiracy to defraud.

■SMOKEOOAHD TO'
GET EIME TEST
Commissioner Oscar Elsas, who
called a halt on the plan of the com
mission to force owners of offending
plants to comply with the smoke ordi
nance. has urged critics of the smoke
commission to stay their judgments
until after the meeting tomorrow. He
told Councilman Smith that he would
convince all reasonable persons that
; he was working sincerely to abate the
nuisance in Atlanta.
F.ieing abolishment by council, the
smoke commission will.meet tomorrow
afternoon at 4 o'clock to make a final
decision as to its attitude on the war to
' abate the smoke nuisance.
Both R. M. Harwell, chairman of the
smoke commission, and Councilman
1 (’ltalics W. Smith father of the smoke
ordinance, said today that the next
1 move in their fight to have the smoke
commission abolished would be deter
mined by the action of the board to

Chairman Harwell said he would force
the hand of the commission by bringing

"But I can foresee little hope of get

Councilman Smith said today that
his wliole desire in the matter was to

he virtually had been convinced that
1 the smoke Commission was not working
to th « end, and that he had prepared
an ordinance to abolish the commission.
But he said he was open to convic

PASCHAL 5M5 HE
ACTED ONDHOEHS
Conductor on Stand in Strike
Arbitration Hearing—“ An
imus” Letters Not Shown.
The expected letters of General Man
ager T. K. Scott, of the Georgia rail
road, showing, according to the claim
of the union leaders in the strike arbi
tration, that Conductor J. T. Paschal
was marked for dismissal because of
his activity as a union committee chair
man, did not materialize at the morning
session of the board of arbiters in the
Federal building, but Conductor Pas
chal was put on the stand.
Paschal was questioned for an hour
on the details of his trip from Conyers
to Lithonia, and his defense was that
he had acted within orders. Superin
tendent Brand, of the road, sought to
show that Paschal had caused Engineer
P. \V. Roberts to run overtime in viola
tion of the Federal statutes and the
company’s ruling, in accordance there
with.
A turn occurred in the case which the
union leaders took quick advantage of
This was the statement by Mr. Scott in
presenting the road's outline of prose -
cution that 1,079 violations of the law
which Paschal is accused of having vio
lated had been reported to the interstate
commerce commission since 1908. Aft
er a conference with Mr. Brand, Mr
Scott declared that he wished that part
of his remarks expunged from the rec
ord, or he desired that Mr. Brand
should take the stand and make a cor
rection.
Other Cases Cited.
Mr. Brand accordingly explained that
the road's chief dispatcher had had
1,079 requests from trainmen for in
structions on whether to’ proceed with
their trains in violation of the Federal
law.
A message purporting to come from
Mr. Brand to a telegraph operator was
introduced. It ordered that the con
ductor of the freight train then at that
point proceed on his trip, regardless of
the sixteen-hour service law.
Mr. Murdock handed the document to
the court, with the remark that the
union leaders had a number of other
such exhibits and would produce them
later. The contention of the union now’
is, therefore, that plenty of other viola
tions have taken place, and that the
conductor in question has been dis
criminated against and should be given
back his job.
There was a spirited colloqup be
tween Mr. Brand and Mr. Murdock
while the former was making out the
road’s case, which ended by the latter
declaring, “Let’s have the facts." Mr.
Brand said they would be forthcoming.
The board adjourned at 1 o’clock, for
an hour of dinner and reconvened at 2.
It will sit until 4 and meet again to
morrow at 10 a. in.
T. A. Gregg, vice president of the Or
der of Railway’ Conductors, denied to
day’ that he had referred to Conductor
Paschal as a Socialist.

Thousands of Friends Rejoice With the Lowrys
GOLDEN WEDDING DAY
All Atlanta society—or the male half
of it —is picking brilliant neckties of
“Lowry Red" to wear at the Capital
city club tonight at the golden wed
ding celebration of Colonel and Mrs?
Robert J. Lowry. It will be one even
ing when the “conventional black and
white” will be enlivened by a bit of
color as bright as the cherry in a
cocktail. For Colonel Lowry has for '
decade or two given vent to the spirit
of youth within him by wearing a
scarlet tie upon all occasions, excepting
funerals and after-six affairs.
There are some distinguished guests
in town for the golden wedding. George
C. Boldt, proprietor of the Waldorf-
Astoria in New York and the Bellevue-
Stratford in Philadelphia, two of the
most famous hotels in the world, is
here to be the guest of Colonel Lowry,
who has been Mr. Boldt's guest on those
many occasions when the Colonel stay
ed at the Waldorf —and they say’ the
Colonel's dinners in gay New York were
something to talk about for a week
afterward.
Three noted bankers, all former pres
idents of the American Bankers asso
ciation. also are here as guests of honor
of Colonel Lowry, who is an ex-presi
dent of the association. They are:
George Russell and George H. Bar
bour, of Detroit, and L. R. Murray, of
Louisville. The trio, with Mr. Boldt,
spent today seeing Atlanta in Colonel
Lowry’s big limousine, with John E
CONDUCTOR FIGHTS
PASSENGER TRYING
ENTRANCE FOR EXIT
Dr. W. Vanßeidel, of the Dodson
Medicine Company, in police court to
day, told Recorder Broyles tljat N. G.
Eason, conductor on a pay-as-you-en
ter trolley car, assaulted him and bad
ly tore his clothing «umply because he
made the mistake of starting from the
entrance instead of the exit of the car.
He said that previously the conductor
had some words with a negro on the
rear platform and that at the time he
was seated in the car doing some figur
ing on a slip of paper. The conductor,
he said, evidently thought he was tak
ing his number to report him and be
came enraged. As the doctor started
to leave the car, he said, Eason seized
him, shoved him back, and was very
abusive in ordering him to go out the
other way. •
Judge Broyles then ordered a case
made against the conductor and fined
him $5.75. He also fined Dr. Vanßei
del the same amount, the conductor
accusing him of using profanity.

CHICAGO POSTMASTER
MUST GO TO TRIAL FOR
PERNICIOUS ACTIVITY
CHICAGO, Nov. 11. —Preliminary ar
rangements for the trial of Postmaster
Daniel A. Campbell, charged with per
nicious political activity, were sched
uled to be made today at the Federal
building here. The trial will begin be
fore a commission consisting of Secre
tary John T. Doyle, of the civil service
commission; Peter Newton, secretary
of the Seventh district, which Includes
Chicago, and a postoffice inspector to
be designated by Postmaster General
Hitchcock. The board will meet today
to determine the method of conducting
the examination.
The specific charge against Campbell
is distributing money to postoffice em
ployees at a meeting of the Fourteenth
Ward Republican club. The money was
to be used by them, it is said, in the
interests of the administration in the
recent general election.
A large number of witnesses, most of
them postoffice employees, have been
summoned. The charges were brought
by the Civil Service Reform associa
tion, and through the efforts of the
association the civil service commission
has pledged to exert its full power to
protect those who testify.
The trial board, after hearing evi
dence, will report to the president, with
a recommendation for action. The final
decision of the case rests with the chief
executive.
