McClelland’.** state ments. J. W. Maddox stated at the meeting of the Council Investigating Committee to-day that he would sub mit his statement in writing to-mor row afternoon. I. N. Ragsdale and F. J. Spratllng will take the stand and tell their stories. “There won’t be any need for any more witnesses after my clients, Al dermen Ragsdale and Spratling, have made their statements’,” said Attor ney Luther Z. Rosser. “They will tell all the facts.” When it met to organize for the probe the investigating committee discovered that it had no prosecutor. Alderman McClelland, who filed the charges of corruption against the three Aldermen, was not present and he informed the committee he did not intend to appear in the role of prose cutor. Ellis Claims To Be Adviser. Assistant City Attorney W. D. El lis, Jr., was there, but announced that his capacity wan only that of ad viser. City Attorney Mayson was not present, it is said, because he ex pects to be called as a witness to de fend Alderman Maddox. “I think the resolution ordering this investigation instructs the City Attor ney to take charge of the case,” said Attorney Rosser. “It authorizes me to get the truth,” said Mr. Ellis. “Well, I don’t mean to invite your legal talents against me,” said Mr. Rosser, “but I’ve seen this neutral at titude tried by solicitors. You’ve got to be on one side or the other.” Put It Up to Committee. Mr. Ellis finally said it was up to the committee what attitude he should take. Charles T; Hopkins, attorney for Mr. McClelland, had to leave Atlanta for Washington to-day, and he re quested a postponement of the inves tigation until he returned. But Attor ney Rosser Insisted on action, and the committee decided to begin the actual taking of testimony to-morrow after noon. Since securing his leave of absence from Council, Alderman McClelland has let it be known that he does not intend to be present during the inves tigation. This is displeasing to the accused Aldermen, who relied on counter charges to be made during the examination of witnesoes. Offers Names of Witnesses. John S. McClelland was present, though, and he said he was ready to give a list of witnesses by whom his father’s charges could be proved. To prove the charge against Mad dox of having sub-contracts with tho city the names of ex-Mayor Court- land S. Winn, Chief of Construction R. M. Clayton and Chester A. Dady will be offered. To show that Spratling has bor rowed money from near-beer dealers, the names of several officers of the Fourth National Bank. T. O. Poole, Albert Steiner, James Lynch, beer dealers, will be given. To show that Ragsdale has bought and sold horses to the city, he will suggest the names of several stock- men to be called, as well as Fire Chief Cummings and Sanitary Chief John Jentzen. All the committee, John S. Candler, chairman; Jesse M. Wood, George H. Boynton, C. D. Knight and Clarence H. Ha vert y, were present. Alderman John E. McClelland this afternoon sent a letter to Assistant City Attorney Ellis declining to at tend the investigation and refusing to give the names of the witnesses against the accused until his attor ney, Charles T. Hopkins, returns to to city. He said he was too ill to take any personal part in the probe. Attorney Ellis sent a letter to Al derman McClelland demanding the names of the witnesses and that he appear at the meeting of the com i mittee to-morrow afternoon. WASHINGTON. April 22.—Presi dent Wilson to-day appealed i:o Gov ernor Hiram Johnson, of California, and through him to the people of Cal ifornia, not to puss any alien ’and law which might antagonize Japan and embroil the entire United States In a conflict with the Japanese.
