Thlp enabled officers to follow his
tracks until he arrived at the Blue
River, almost a mile from the point
where he jumped from the train.
Here the trail stopped abruptly, and
his pursuers expressed the belief that
he continued his flight In a boat.
The train was Just pulling out of
the depot when a tall man ran out of
the darkness of the railroad yards and
climbed up the steps of the observa

two pistols.

Preceded by the frightened negro,
the robber then entered the chair car,
where there were about a dozen pas

“Hold up your hands,” was the com

them. The passengers readily com

The robbery of the chair car was
accomplished within live minutes and
the :>urpr!ap<l passengers obeyed the
final injunction of the robber to sit
down and remain quiet.
The Pullman car wan entered next.
After robbing two passengers from
whom he secured small amounts of
money, the robber came to the berth
occupied by Short.

not yet made public.
FIFTH—Official* of the jail
declared to-gay that visitors will
not be allowed to see either Frank
or Lee, but, of course, counsel
will have free access to them.
SIXTH,—The absurd report
that State troop* were to be
called out, of course, has no foun
dation In facts. This rumor was
published in some of the State pa
pers and by an unimportant
morning dally of limited circula
tion.
SEVENTH.—The report that
William J. Burns is to come to
Atlanta is of doubtful origin. The
last heard of Mr. Burns he was In
Europe.
EIGHTH.—Friends of Frank
are coming forward in his defense
and are making a vigorous de
fense for him. It Is reported that
M. Frank, an uncle, who is very
wealthy, will employ the ablest
legal talent to defend Frank.
In regard to the arrest of Leo
Frank, Milton Klein has furnished the
following:
"Leo Frank, the superintendent and
general manager of one of Atlanta’s
largest and most promising industries,
spends two hours in his office on a
holiday after generously relieving the
watchman during these hour*. His
habits are regular and industrious,
and his life while In Atlanta Is per
fectly blameless In every respect.
“The terrible crime committed in
his plant calls forth the closest scru
tiny of Mr. Frank’s relations with his
200 workmen and women. Only the
highest words of praise and confi
dence in his character are heard on
all sides.
“I have worked with Mr. Frank for
years in various charitable organiza
tions and have ever found him the
most polished of gentlemen, with the
kindest of heart and the broadest of
sympathy. To such an extent it Is
recognized among his fellow lodgemen
that we have honored him with the
office of president, which Is the high
est rank in our organization.
Bert Work in Factory.
“He Is a liberal supporter of many
worthy enterprises. But his greatest
work has been among his own em
ployee* at his factory. The first to
report in the morning and the last to
leave at night, every day and holi
days. he has labored to build up a
factory that in spirit and efficiency is
second to none* south of the Mason
and Dixon line.
“After the magnificent work ho has
done in his adopted home, shall we,
without consideration, emphasize ev
ery bit of gossip which unjustly and
groundlessly connects him with this
awful tragedy? No one seeks more
fervently to discover the real perpe
trator of thie atrocious crime than
Mr. Frank.”
Miner Asks for Calmness.
Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner makes
the following plea for calm consider
ation of the Phagan case:
“While a crime of a most revolting
nature has been committed in our
midst, and our people are naturally
excited and Incensed over the deplor
able affair, there are things that we
need to consider coolly and carefully.
“Every possible effort is being put
forth by the officers* and the public
generally to apprehend the guilty par
ty or parties. Nothing is being left
undone, no clew is being overlooked
that would lead to a solution of the
mysterious tragedy.
"Hut this is not a time for us to be
come too excited or too hasty in our
efforts to ferret out the criminal.
Above ail things, and especially at
this time, it is absolutely necessary
for us to keep perfectly cool, to work
carefully and quietly, running down
every possible clew with caution.
“1 respectfully ask that the public
be patient, refraining from criticism
of the unerasing efforts on the part of
the officers or private Individuals who
are working so generously and faith-
full} on the case. And 1 would as re
spectfully ask that the daily papers
retrain from printing anything calcu
lated to unduly inflame the public
mind; and from using such headlines
as are calculated to arouse undue in
dignation.
“And you may rest assured if faith
ful and persevering work counts for
anything justice will be done. I have
known, during my several years of
experience as an officer and in crimi
nal cases, undue haste in matters of
this kind, brought on by excitement
and enthusiasm, to produce i. miscar
riage of justice. Bui I have never
known a cool and systematic investi
gation of r tragedy, backed ut by an
earnest public sentiment demanding
the apprehension of the r*al perpe
trator of a crime like this, to fail of
attaining the des4f*crj end’
Transparent, Tight

Criticized by Blease
South Carolina Governor, Seeing Evil
Influence in Modern Fashions,
Urges Reform.
j COLUMBIA, S C., May 2. The
j transparent, tighi or abbreviated aklrt
j of present-day fashion* affected by
women that tends too strongly toward
outfitting the figure of the wearer 1*
scored as a ’’siniHter, persuasive, in
grating evil Influence” by Governor
Dole L. Blease, who to-day gave out
a signed interview championing dress
reform.
He fears that the modern fashion*
will have a deteriorating effect on
the young men of the South by “les
sening the high regard for the virtue
and purity and sanctity of our wom
anhood w hich has been characteristic
especially of the true men of the
Houth .”
The young woman of the South,
say* Governor Blease. should stand
before h light and have her mother
or some near woman relative Inspect
her f’lothlng before going on the
streets If the. clothes pass this scru
tiny, he says, they are fit to wear, but
If not, the gtrl should put on more
clothes before appearing in public.
The Governor advises women's clubs
and similar organizations to at once
take up the matter of tires* reform
“before it is too late.”
Atlanta Banks Pay
$10,000 in New Tax
U. S. Deposits Here Average Half
Million—Bankers Approve
Government Scheme.
When the banks of Atlanta begin
paying 2 per cent Interest on Govern
ment deposits, the United States
treasury will be $10,000 a year richer.
It is estimated that Government de
posits in Atlanta are about $500,000.
The figure varies little year in and
year out. When the deposits in any
one bank, not an active depository, go
over a stipulated figure, a remittance
must be made immediately to the
treasury. In the case of banks han
dling active United States accounts
there it some fluctuation, but very
little.
Atlanta banker* think the move
wi/»e on the part of the Government.
They say they think it should have
bsen done before. Nearly all large
private corporations in the North and
East demand interest on daily bal
ances.

Orders Issued to Use Three Shifts
of Men—Vessels Could Get
Through Now.
By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES.
WASHINGTON, May 2 —The shad-
ow of silence Is thick upon the White
House. The atmosphere is repressed
and gloomy. A stenographic report
of all Bryan conferences with the
Governor and Legislature of Cali
fornia, with questions and answers,
have been laid before the President.
Mr. Wil&on only says:
“I have nothing to say. I can not
be expected to comment upon a situa
tion so delicate.”
It Is conceded at the White House
that Mr. Bryan’s mission to California
has been a complete failure.
The President declare* he has done
everything possible He now puts the
responsibility upon the Senate, an
nouncing tha't that body, by making
treaties and in further negotiations,
must attempt to do what he has failed
to accomplish.
Activity in War Office.
Great activity is evident at the War
and Navy Departments.
Diplomatic assurances are made
that such activity is without reference
to Japan. This* is designed to avoid
even a remote suggestion of mobiliza
tion, which would be construed as a
hostile act by Japan.
The armored cruiser South Dakota,
at the suggestion of the State Depart
ment, has been ordered North from
Acapulco, Mexico. The armored cruis
er Colorado was ordered from the
west coast of Mexico to San Diego,
Cal. It is explained that only lesser
draft vessels are required for the Pa-
ciflc-Mexlcan ports. The Annapolis
will replace the South Dakota.
Canal Defenses Rushed.
A sudden anxiety to get the West
ern defenses of the Panama Canal
Into immediate commission was evi
dent at the War Department. Five
14-inch guns are to be shipped im
mediately. The big 16-lnch gun at
Sandy Hook will be firs*t to arrive at
the Canal Zone. It has a radius of 20
miles.
The squadron now on the Pacific
(’oast could not prevent a Japanese
fleet from destroying the Western ter.
minal. Fourteen-inch guns are the
beat and only protection. They are
being rushed from the Watervliet
Arsenal.
Most important of all is that the
Navy Department has plans by which
the Panama Canal can be utilized
within 50 days to shift the Atlantic
fleet to the Pacific Coast.
Could Be Opened June 20.
At present rate of construction,
with but one eight-hour shift at
work, the locks will be completed and
lhe canal flooded by October 1. With
three eight-hour shifts, the gates can
be completed by June 20.
The Isthmian Canal Commission
admits that work is being rushed
with extraordinary speed. So far is
the canal itself is concerned, it could
be flooded right now to^ample depth
for the passage of ships. The Gatun,
Pedro Miguel and Miraflores lock
gates, however, are not yet in place.
It is stated that even slides in the
Culebra Cut will present no obstacle.
In case of emergency, a single day’s
work could clear away sufficient
earth to let any vessel of the navy
type pass through.
The battleships Vermont, Minne
sota and Connecticut .are now at Ver)
Cruz, and* the Idaho at Tampico,
Mexico. These vessels are wlthvn
easy reach of the canal.

Mre. Lucy Bloomer, 606 Chestnut
Street, before Judge Ellis this morn
ing, heard her second petition for a
divorce from her common-law hus
band, Jacob Bloomer, of Louisville,
Ky., refused by a jury.
Mrs. Bloomer alleged that she be
gan living with Bloomer in 1897. In
1906 she left him in Louisville, came
to Atlanta and in a few months tiled
suit for divorce. She asserts he kept
her drunk all the time. She was given
a final decree In 1908, and in 1912
Bloomer had the divorce proceedings
annulled as Irregular.
In his counter petition, filed to-dav,
Bloomer alleged that his wife drank a

man.
GEORGIA POSSE CAPTURES
SOUTH CAROLINA SUSPECT
AUGUSTA, GA., May 2.—A negro,
believed to be Henry Austin, who kill
ed two and wounded four white men
near Allendale and Hampton, S. C.,
was captured to-day near Sylvania,
Ga., at the home of Austin's father.
The sheriff of Screven County and a
number of citizens made the capture.

Officers have left Allendale and
Hampton for Sylvania to carry the
negro back if he Is the right one.
Austin was fired upon by the pur
suing posse in the swamps about the

RED-HOT fllU
ON JUDGE SPEER
To Print 10,000 Copies of Pam
phlet Giving His Side of the
Bankruptcy Case.
MACON. GA., May 2.—In a state*
ment to the public to-day, Colonel
W A Huff, whose $125,000 estate has
been pending in the bankruptcy court
for fourteen years, and in which an
important decision was made yester
day by Judge Emory Speer, announces
that Just as soon as the papers can
be printed he will distribute to the
pablto another letter addressed to
Judge Bpeer, Iti which he will attack
that jurist as a man and as an offi
cial. He aaye:
1 beg to assure th» public that
unle*B the printing presses In Atlanta
and Macon are all broken down dur
ing the next ten days there will be
something doing here a little outside
of the usual.
Quiet Nearly Fourteen Year*.
“In this connection I beg to call at
tention to the fact that for nearly
fourteen years the newspapers, the
lawyers and the Federal court officials
of Macon have busied themselves in
keeping the Huff case w'ell advertised
and that during all these years noth
ing has ever been written for public
by my attorneys or myeslf—except
the two communications sent by me
last July to Judge Speer. One was in
the form of a personal letter ad
dressed to him and the other a com
munication addressed, ‘To Whom It
May Concern.’
“It is also proper for me to state
that only a portion of my letter to
the Judge was published by the pa
pers at the time. The balance of the
letter, together with all other com
munications, will now be placed be
fore the public In pamphlet form.
“My Time Has Arrived."
“My time to be heard from has ar
rived. That I will undertake to do
my full duty by the subject in hand
my friends may rest assured."
For sending the letter to Judge
Speer last year Colonel Huff Is now
under an contempt of court charge.
That letter was a most severe in
dictment of Judge Speer as a mar:
and as a judge. For several months
Colonel Huff has been busy collecting
evidence which he says he intends to
use in Impeachment proceedings
against JTidge Speer.
Practically all of his charges will
be embodied in tills pamphlet, 10,000
copies of which, he says, will be
printed.
