QA., April 29—One man is dead end a young: woman and a bo\ iret dying as the result of a s« ries of accidents In Augusta Inst night. Pat Callahan, m fireman, was run over and crushed to death by h Art truck, lie swung on the wagen as it ieft to answer a call, and, falling, went directly beneath the wheels. Miss Ernestine Batey was run over Jay an automobile driven by Mrs YV K. Hagler. Her skull was fractured Miss Batev Is a niece of Mrs. A i <1 Candler, of Atlanta. Clifford Carper, aged 10, suffered m fractured skull In falling down the steps at the playgrounds of the John Mil lege School. Who Would Be the Most Inter ested in Saying That the Night Watchman Did Not Do It? Every Pony i sound, healthy, serviceable pet. Every one broken to drive. All of them gentle, and safe for a child to drive While the tendency of the police straight: through has seemed to be to doubt that Mary Phagan, the mur dered girl, really wrote the annul notes found beside her body purport ing to give a clew to her murderer, the girl's stepfather, W J, Coleman, think* ft possible that she may have written one of the ecrewls. That one Is the not|B written on the little yellow factory slip—so faintly traced it is almost Impossible to reel It. It is the one that says: mama that negro hired down here did this I went to get water and he pushed me down this hole a long tall negro black that has It woke long lean tall negro 1 write while play with ine "Somehow, It looks like her hand writing to me," said Mr. Coleman. "But, of courst I can not be sure. Vow, about the other note 1 am doubtful. It seems to be written too well for the child to have done It l.i the almost Insensible condition sne must have been In at the time. Whether she wrote either of the notes of her own accord, though, or wheth er she was forced to do It by her murderer to turn suspicion from him self. of course le mere speculation. Only time can tell, If anything.' Doubts Other Note's Authorship. The other note whose authority Mr Coleman doubts Is the one scrawh'd on a notepad. It reads as it was at first translated: He said he wood love me laid down like the night witch did it but that long tall black negro did It by his self. This note, however, brings up an argument advanced by several people who have studied t» carefully. They have found that In some way one word, "play," was omitted In the flr>.t translation, and they think that In stead of "night witch" the words were meant to mean "night watch," which Is relative to the subject. With these changes the note would read: "He said he wood love me laid down pisv like the night watch did it, but that long tall black negro did It by his self.” They ask: If the murderer told the child he was going to "play like the night watch did it,” and then the child goes on to explain that It wasn't the night watchman at all that did It, but another negro, wouldn’t that appear that the child was endeavor ing to shield the night watchman'.’ Argue Againet Watohman. They also ask: Would a child In the predicament Mary Phagan was supposed to be In, Insensible and her mind wandering, be thinking of try ing to shield a night watchman In her note, even before she described the man who had treated her so cruelly? Again they ask: Who would be the most Interested person In the world in saving the hide of the night watchman? Did the child write the notes her self. was she forced to write them, or did somebody else write them? The notes are written to throw sus- GARRISON MOVES TO RID THE ARMY OF POLITICS WASHINGTON, April Secre tary Garrison has Issued an order to put an end to appeals to him for favored treatment of Individual of ficers of the army and to stop politi cal "Influence.” According to the or der any communication made to the War Department outside the regular military channels for favored treat ment of an officer In any way, will promptly be referred to that officer He will be required to report to the Secretary whether ha 1s responsible forasuoh requests Make Your Letters Help Bring Shrine Everybody Urged to Use Reminder of Atlanta’s Conquest for Con vention on Every Missive.

Ollie Phagan, the 18-year-old sis ter of Mary, said that, while she did not know of course, she did not be lieve that Mary wrote either of the notes. She knew her handwriting well, and the rough letters did not look like hers, although they might possibly be. Excitement prevailed to-day among those Interested when it was found that the scene in which the fearful struggle between the dead girl and her assailant took place was not on the second floor of the pencil factory, as It was thought, where a few strands of her hah were found it:, the cogs of a steel lathe, but in the dressing room of the place. This was made certain by drops of blon : . over the floor u the room, and * lag of her dress that vv i- pick,,. t: and which showed that it had be* a used to gag her. The stiip was of j -ilk, and had been cut with a knife ! from the front of her lavender dress. ' which was new, and which the child j was wearing for the first time. It was said that the discovery was made by some of the girls employed j at the factory, who slipped upon the Mood w hich, in one place, had formed . a small pool.

The j dead girl’s hair had only caught in J the steel lathe when her murderer i had dragged her by it. j Tills would go to corroborate the belief of several persons acquainted • with the tragedy’s various angles that | Mary Phagan never left the building, I or at least only for a short while i from the time she entered it to get her money Saturday until her life- I less form was picked up and carried j from the basement by the authorities, j They say she might have either been (accidentally locked in, or purposely ! taken back in the building by her I murderer, who obtained entrance either by a key or went in by prying off a staple from an alley door. Logic Involves Negro. In either instance, the assailant had been keeping close tab on her actions, and either procured a key for him self to go in, or bribed the watchman silver and which has not yet been found, diil not contain any valuables and she had very little money in it.
