The finding of the bodies cleared up
a five days mystery and brings the to

Lawrence's body was badly battered
and part of his clothing was pulled off.

show tentatively made and with the
crowds still large and the interest high,
the poultry exhibition at the Audito
rium-Armory is pj-ogressing smoothly
toward its finish—which comes Satur
day night.
The big interest today was in the
sweepstakes awards. They were:
Best Pen in the Show—Barred Rocks,
exhibited by W. S. Thompson, of the
Atlanta Poultry Yards.
Best Pullet in the Show—White Rock,
exhibited by Martin F. Schultes, of
Bartlett, Tenn.
Best Cockerel in the Show—White
Orpington, exhibited by William Cook
& Sons. Scotch Plains, N. J.
Best Hen in the Show—Black Or
pington, exhibited by Asa G. Candler,
Jr., of Atlanta.
Best Cock in the Show—White Leg

The officials of the show have voted
that tomorrow all children, accompa
nied by adults, shall be admitted free.

ing Colonel Jehu G. Postell (Uncle

MOORE TO REFUSE TO BE
CANAL CONFERENCE HEAD
The Panama canal conference, which
met in Atlanta recently, will soon be
obliged to name a new president, be
cause Wilmer L. Moore, who was
chosen as the conference’s first head,
will be unable to serve. Mr. Moore has
not been officially notified of his selec
tion, but he declares that he couldn’t
possibly fill the office on account of
other pressing duties. Mr. Moore is
head of an insurance company and the
Chamber of Commerce and finds his
time well occupied.
The conference desired to honor At
lanta witli the first president, and it is
probable that another Atlantan will
now be named. Walter G. Cooper, sec
retary of tile Chamber of Commerce,
declined the office of treasurer for rea
sons similar to those which actuated
Mr. Moore.

3 LDM CLUBS
GUE UP BATTLE
Southern and Bees. Along With
Mystic Ark. Quit Fight—G.
A. C. to Appeal.
Superior Judge John T. Pendleton,
following his recent ruling against the
Knights of the Mystic Ark. today caus
ed two more locker club cases to be
dismissed and denied an injunction in
the third.
Recognizing the hopelessness of at
tempting to face the court on pleas sim
ilar to those made yesterday by the
-Mystic Ark. attorneys for the Southern
club and the Order of fiees requested a
dismissal shortly after the trial was
called. Morris Macks, representing the
Georgia Athletic club, making addition
al allegations, went to trial. Judge Pen
dleton denied him the injunction sought.
This action means that the Southern
and the Bees; as w 11 as the Mystic
Ark. which have been operating under a
temporary restraining order, can be
closed by the city authorities for doing
business without a permit from council.
The jurist's decision in the Georgia
Athletic club case will allow that club a
breathing spell if its lawyers give no
tice of an appeal.
Not a week ago. the supreme court in
a case not unlike the present one, ex
cept in minor detail, held that Judge
Pendleton did not err in refusing to
grant this same club an injunction.
Lawyers for the club are seeking for
a Federal question, it is said, so that the
cases can be taken to the United States
supreme court. It s hardly likely that
the Georgia supreme court will be ap
pealed to a second time.
HENNESSEE DENIES
CHARGES OF FRAUD;
SEES A “FRAME UP”
O. T. Hennessee, former president of
the Warren Manufacturing Company,
suspender makers, today declared that
charges of fraudulent use of his author
ity, brought against him by E. J. Sprat
ling and W. O. Steele, directors of the
company, were false.
Hennessee declared that'he had acted
within authority of the by-laws of the
company in transactions wherein
charges were brought against him. He
further said that he, as the promoter
and principal stockholder in the firm,
had brought about the transactions in
question in his own and other stock
holders’ interest.
He charged Spratling wltft having
made a "frame-up” against him in or
der to further his own interest, and to
oust him from the presidency. Because
of this "frame-up," Hennessee said, he
had tried to obtain the extra shares of
stock.
BRING BACK BOOKKEEPER
TO FACE THEFT CHARGE
John D, Adams, former bookkeeper
for Dougherty, Little & Redwine Com
pany, in North Pryor street, is being
held by the police of Sibley, Texas,
awaiting the action of Fulton county
authorities.
Adams recently was indicted by the
Fulton grand jury on three counts for
larceny after trust. The bills allege
that he appropriated $343 of the com
pany's funds. Deputy Sheriff Plennie
Miner will leave for Sibley tomorrow to
bring Adams here for trial. It*is un
derstood Adams left Atlanta some days
before the indictments were returned.

BOY SENT TO ASYLUM
INSTEAD OF TO PRISON
ON PLEA OF MOTHER
Mrs. J. V. Alexander, gray-haired and
dressed simply In black, stood before a
jury in criminal court today and pleaded
that, her son. J. F. Alexander, arraigned
on a charge of forgery, be committed
to the state asylum as a lunatic rather
than sent to the penitentiary as a
felon.
Mrs. Alexander took the stand shortly
after J. F. Golightly, her son's lawyer,
had entered a special insanity plea.
“My son has a mania for forging
checks.” she said. “But I am sure he
does not know what he is doing. We
want him sent to the asylum.”
The indictment was returned against
Alexander at the instigation of the
Whitfield Medicine Company, which
charged that the boy had forged cheeks
amounting to $27.50,
Judge Roan allowed the lunacy plea,
and permitted the trial, to proceed on
this basis. After fifteen minutes delib
eration, the jury declared Alexander in
sane, and ordered his commitment to
the state asylum at Milledgeville.
