Bobby Walthour Tries Spurt
But His Competitors Nail
Hirn Easily.
NEW YORK, Dee. 9.—Walthour
started a sprint shortly before 2 o’clock
this afternoon in the six-day bicycle
race, and his competitors nailed him
before he was able to gain the coveted
lap.
The* fifteen teams were tied at the
end of the seventeenth hour, 5 p. m., to
day, with the score 383 miles and 5
laps. The former record was 377 miles,
made by Collins and Drobach in 1910.
This is the first time in the history
of six-day racing in this city that all
the teams entered were able to run on
even terms for so long a time.
SMOKE MAKES FOLK
OF ATLANTA DODGE
NEEDED FRESH AIR
Commenting on the sti: emeftt of S.
G. Lindholm, the municipal expert on
health and sanitation, that Atlantans
are afraid of fresh air, Ur. Claude A.
Smith, head of the city laboratory of
hygiene, said today that one of the
main reasons Atlantans kept their
doors and windows closed so tightly
was the smoke niusance.
Dr. Smith said it was absolutely es
sential for the human system to have
fresh air to be able to resist diseases,
and that people here did not fully real
ize the need of proper ventilation. But
he said that smoke did as much to keep
fresh air out of offices and homes as
the fear of cold.

Clay Unmoved As Kin
Beg Him, In Death Celt
To Tell Them Goodbye
Weeping piteously, Mrs. W. H. Whit
aker, only sister of Rober L. Clay,
the wife slayer and alleged maniac,
condemned to hang Friday on the Tow
er gallows, stood today before the
barred door of her doomed brother’s
cell and pleaded with him to speak to
her- —begged for just one word.
Clay sat on his bunk witli bowed
head and drooped shoulders, his long,
unkempt hair falling over his forehead.
His emotionless gaze roved about the
cell floor. He did not say a word, and
not once did he lift his head with a
glance of recognition.
Beside Mrs. Whitaker stood Mrs. J.
A. Clay, sister-in-law of the con
demned man, and she, too, wept. Just
behind the women were J. A. Clay and
J. W. Clay, brothers, who were un
able to control their emotion as they
peered through the bars and joined the
women in trying to get the doomed
man to speak.
"Bob, speak to us. Don’t you know
us?” cried the brothers, but Clay main
tained the silence he has broken but
once since he was imprisoned last May.
While she pleaded at the cell door,
a three-year-old boy, son of Mrs. J. A.
Clay and nephew of the prisoner, tugged
at the dress of his mother and prattled
of the strange prison sight.
In the event there is no stay in the
plans for the execution Friday, this
probably Is the last time the relatives
will see Robert L. Clay In life.
The entire family will appear before
Governor Brown tomorrow morning
and make a last plea to save the
doomed man.

MOB LAW
SPEECH
Georgia Governor, Back Fromi
Conference, Rebukes South
Carolina Executive.
GEORGIA LAWS UPHELD
DESPITE CRIME, HE
Governor Joseph M. Brown returnee!
from Richmond and Washington today,
where he has been attending the an*
nual conference of the national "hous®
of governors.”
The governor talked most interesting*
ly of his trip, and incidentally pays his
respects to Governor Cole L. Blease*
of South Carolina, whose open advo*
cacy of lynch law shocked the gath*
ering.
Governor Brown administered a tell*
ing rebuke to the South Carolinan, and
in doing so cited some recent history;
to prove that Georgia entertains
contrary view.
Governor Brown said:
Conferences of
Governors Valuable.
“These annual conferences by the
governors of the states are of great
value in that they bring the executive
officers of the states into personal ac*
quaintanceship with each other and en
able them in all subsequent correspond
ence to have a more intelligent knowl
edge of respective views and environ
ments than could be the case if they
had never met. They enable them to
realize more fully the similarity be
tween general conditions in the respec
tive states and wherever there are laws
In one state radically different from
those in others to become advised as
to whether exceptional conditions have
or have not required exceptional laws.
"Ultimate uniformity of laws, w-hen*
ever practicable, is, of course, the desid*
eratum, as such a status tends more
and more to a unity of that as well as
unity of interest.
"Regarding the defense of ‘mob’ lai*
by Governor Blease, of South Carolina,
concerning which you have asked mo,
I will state that I have not talked with
a single other governor or a single otheo
visitor at the conference w-ho could sea
any call for such remarks.
“No State Law
Condones Crime. ’ ’
"I will venture to say that there is
nothing in the constitution of any
American state which encourages cr
condones crime of any character. All
states and all laws among civilized peo
ples have for their object the supres*
sion of crime by the process of law.
-Immediately after Governor Bleasa
had concluded his speech I arose and
stated that one of the chief factors in
securing my last election was my prom
ise that I would not abuse the pardon
ing power, but, on the contrary, would
see that the process of law in the pun
ishment of criminals who had been
tried In the courts was faithfully up
held. I stated that the executive of no
state had a monopoly of devotion to
the white women of his state or to the>
determination to protect them, but that
whatever the crime in Georgia we held
that the criminal must be punished by
the law instead of the mob, that Geor
gia did not have to depend upon mobs
to punish those who violated her laws.
Georgia Militia
To Protect Negroes.
"I instanced the fact that I had three
times sent portions of the military of
Georgia to Cumming to protect the
laws of Georgia in the custody, trial
and execution of negroes convicted of
criminal assault that the majesty of
the law might be maintained regard
less of the character of the crime. I
stated In this connection that when ask
ed by the judge of the circuit how
many troops I could send I had an
swered that I would send the entire na
tional guard of Georgia If necessary to
uphold the laws of the state.
"I regard Governor Blease’s advo
cacy of ‘mob’ laws as exceedingly un
fortunate for the simple reason that in
every other state in the American
Union the devotion of white men to
white women is as sacred as it is in
South Carolina and the determination
to protect them, or. if needs be, to visit
condign punishment upon those who
have wronged them, is as deep-seated
and irrevocable as it is in South Caro
lina.
"Every governor with whom 1 talkei
and every lady who gave me her opln
lon stood as one in advocating iaga
process instead of ’mob' law.”
