Big Story Coming
Hardest and Most Decisive Anti-
Alien Fight Due in California
Senate To-day.
BRYAN DECIDES TO REMAIN
President Protests Webb Meas
ure, but Radical Thompson
Act Is Sure of Passage.
SACRAMENTO, CAL., May 2.,—The
hardest and bitterest fig-ht that yet
has been waged around the anti-alien
legislation in tlie California Legis
lature was due to take place in the
Senate beginning at 11 o’clock to
day. when the Thompson bill was to
be made a special order of business.
Protest against the Webb draft of
the anti-alien land bill was voiced in
a. telegram from President Wilson to
Governor Johnson to-day. The tel
egram said:
I take the liberty of calling
your attention to the Webb bill,
w hit h would involve an appeal
to the courts on a question of
treaty rights and bring on what
might be long and delicate litiga
tion. WQODROW WILSON.
Bryan Decides to Stay.
Secretary'of State Bryan announc
ed that in light of the present compli
cations in the situation he would not
start for Washington to-night, as had
been planned.
It was understood that the Curtin
joint resolution will be reported at
that time, calling upon the Legisla
ture to delay indefinitely action on the
pending bill and leave the entire sub
ject of anti-alien legislation to the
Government for settlement through
a new treaty with Japan.
Bill Certain to Pass.
A poll of the Senate to-day showed
that the Thompson bill will pass
when it comes to a final vote. The
Democrats were endeavoring to delay
action. They were ready to offer nu
merous amendments. On the final
vote, however, they were expected to
line up solidly for the measure. The
Democratic platform pledges them
to an anti-alien bill.
Assemblyman Bloodgood. of Los
Angeles, introduced a duplicate of the
Thompson bill in the lower house last
night.

In Wool Market
Many Mills Will Close Down Until
Tariff Changes Are Made—Sales
and Values Off.
BOSTON. May 2.—Sales of wool
have dropped again, with the Small
business done largely at the expense
of values, owing to conflicting re
ports from Washington regarding the
tariff. The trade is nervous. Dealers
and manufacturers are likely to pro
ceed cautiously until the bill has
passed.
Recent sales have reduced to a con
siderable extent burdensome stocks
of certain grades and the market is
now in fairly good shape to meet the
proposed tariff changes.
Predictions are freely made That
many mills will c lose down for longer
or shorter terms or until the tariff
uncertainty is removed.
Receipts of wool in pounds for the
week ended and including Wednesday
were:
1913. 1912.
Domestic 2,009,752 2,659,774
Foreign 961,965 4,333,890
Totals in pounds from and including

corresponding period of 1912 were as
follows:

This picture is odd. Running for
time d tys in The Georgian without
any comment, it has caused endless
discussion as to who it is and what it
is. The Georgian has been besieged
with telephone calls and letters from
its readers asking for an explanation.
We do not wonder that you had some
doubt as to why it is here. This is
the ;»nsv. *t :
The Georgian has purchased a
serial story, more interesting
than any Atlanta lies had in
years. This picture typifies the
story.
Rased on the picture, what in

dollars in gold will be paid to
each of the five best literary
judgments received.
The title of the story has al
ready been-selected, and it is now-
in a sealed envelope in the hands
of T. J. Peeples, cashier of the
American National Bank.
The answers will be judged
upon their originality, their liter

quired an army of 50,000 Turks and
are preparing to establish provisional
government at Crioa and combat both
the Albanian patriots who have been
promised autonomy by the European

the other Essed Pasha’s government,
which has only the support of the
Young Turks. *

“It Will Be War to the Knife; We

Declare Women.
LONDON. May 2.—The Govern
ment continued its drastic warfare
against the militant suffragettes to
day. F. J. Drew, manager of the
Victoria House Printing Company,
where the militants’ newspaper. The
Suffragette, was issued yesterday,
was placed under arrest charged with
complicity in an illegal act. In spite
of the arrest, the women editors of
the paper declared it would be on the
streets-this evening as usual.
While officers were taking Drew
intv* custody, th* eight prominent
members and officers of the Wo
men's Social and Political Union, ar-
I rested Wednesday in a raid upon
I the Union’s headquarters, were be
ing arraigned in Bow Street Court.
The women arraigned were Miss
Barbara Kerr, secretary of the Union;
Miss Annie Kenney, business mana
ger; Flora Drummond, known as
"General.” and adviser to the "Vio
lence Committee;" Miss Lake. Miss
Lennox, Miss Barrett, Mrs. Saunders
and one other.
Aeroplane Campaign Planned.
They were cnarged with destruction
of property, conspiracy and inciting
others to violence.
Scotland Yard has learned of a
new plan, that of having several aero
planes fly over London, deluging the
city with suffrage literature and
dropping dummy bombs in the
streets. The bombs will bear such
inscriptions as the women have used!
on the placards and implements of
destruction.
Miss MacCauley. who presided at
last night’s demonstration of mili
tants. declared to-day, "It is now war
to the knife. '
"Home Secretary McKenna will
find that he has adopted a game that
two can play,” said Miss MacCauley.
"He will find we are not children
and that we have just begun to fight."
Miss MacCauley would not say
what dire consequences would follow
if the Government continued using
iron hand methods against the mili
tants.
Rail Disaster Averted.
A disaster in which many lives
might have been lost was averted to
day at the Piccadilly Circus Station
of the Subway when a track walker
found a package containing a bottle
of nitroglycerine on the track. He
just had time to remove it from the
rails w’hen a crowded express train
thundered by. The attempted outrage
is attributed to the suffragettes.
In spite of the raid yesterday on
the suffragettes’ headquarters, The
Suffragette, somewhat diminished in
size, appeared on sale.
“It is the greatest blow the mili
tant women have yet received,” ac
cording to The Daily Chronicle. |
speaking of the raid.
“It is the-first step toward the
complete suppression of the militant
suffragette movement," says The
Daily News.

Real flowers as trimming for gown.'
and hats will be used by the smart
woman this summer, according to dis-
lAtches from Paris*. They will take
first place in the budget of fashion.
As a trimming for gowns they will be
made up in long strings and secured
by jeweled clasps.
They will be worn along the borders
of coats, the hems of sleeves, around
the waist, and even on the hems yf
fold? in draped skirts. Small May
roses will be popular for the trim
ming. but daisies and other field flow
ers. because of their lasting qualities,
will be extensively used.
Hats, large and small, will contain
fresh flowers, a craze started largely
to stamp out the luxury of aigrettes.
One of the novelties* this summer
will be the wearing of a single Ameri
can Beauty rose with a long stem in
place of the usual bouquet. The rose
is carried in the hand and not fast
ened to the dress, the arbiters of fash
ion pointing out that the length and
grace of the American rose enhance
the beauty of line and the slimness of
the wearer.

are attorneys for the petitioners.
Schools for Annual
‘May Day’ Exercises
Forrest Avenue Primary Children
Celebrate Season With Dances,
Songs and Marches.
Old-time May Day festivals again
may become one of the celebrations
in the schools of Atlanta. At least
the pupils of the Forrest Avenue
School hope to make it an annual af
fair, k» pleasing were the exercises
yesterday. Reviving the custom that
prevailed here years ago, the children
of the primary department planned
and carried out a program in keeping
with the spirit of the season.
A1P the little girls were "Queens of
May,” and clad in pretty white frocks,
their dances and songs were interest
ing. not only to the school, but to the
many visitors present. The boys, with
•life and drum, sang their “Soldier
Boy” song and executed a well-drilled
march.
Must Pay Alimony 12 to 1 of Emory's
After Wife’s Death Alumni for Sports
Her Executrix Sues for $1,000 and students Redouble Efforts When
Court Orders Husband to
Fork Over.
They Find Most of 1.200 Gradu-
* ates Are With Them.
COLUMBUS. May 2.—The Ohio
Supreme Court decided that once a
man is to pay alimony by order of
the court he is not to be exempt
from paying even if the wife dies.
The derision was given in the case
of William G. Stoneman .and Mary E.
Stoneinan, revived in the case of Mary
Shoup, her executrix. Divorce was
ranted Mrs. Stoneman in September
1907,'the decree including restoration
of her maiden name and alimony.
The alimony was fixed at $4,720 to
be paid in instalments within three
years. Before expiration of the three
years Mrs. Stoneman died and the
executrix sued for $1,000 still due.
Stoneman contended that because his
wife had died and had left no children
and the estate solvent he could not
be held for the alimony.
With members of the Alumni Asso
ciation declaring themselves for in-
i tercollogiate sports by a 12 to 1 vote,
the campaign for competitive sports
at Emory College is growing hotter.
Every one of the 1.200 graduates of
the institution is being requested to
voice his opinion. Replies show
an overwhelming majority for sports.
Students are working hard to have
the Board of Trustees let down the
bars and are sending letters to every
former student of the school, tiring
co-operation. P. E. Matthews, Pres
ident of the Senior Clas§. attended a
meeting h re last night and made a
strong apepal for the aid of the
Alumni Association.
Several members of the Board of
Trustees are said to bitterly oppose
the movement.

200 Witnesses To Be Called
When Inquest Into Slaying of
Factory Girl Is Resumed Next
Monday—Felder to Aid State.
The exact facts in the Phagan case
this edition of The Georgian goes
press cun be stated as follows:
Hirst. Che Coront r's inquest is
nor yet ended. It has been ad
journed until Monday afternoon
next: and Until it is ended the
State in not likely to take hold of
the case except in so far as Solici
tor General Dorsey may deem it
necessary to acquaint hlmselfwith
facts that may aid him when the
t'oroner’s Jury renders its verdict.
After this is done the case is
turned over to the Solicitor Gen
eral. as the chief prosecuting of
ficer of Fulton Co ( unty.
SECOND.—It is reported that a
large number of witnesses—200—
are to be subpoenaed by the cor
oners jury, and that both Lee
and Frank will testify.
THIRD. The functions of a
coroner's jury consist of hearing
preliminary testimony, and hold
ing persons under suspicion for
Ihc Grand Jury, which is the le
gal -ouy that finds indictments
against those accused of crime.
Investigation before the Grand
Jury is on evidence and is much
more complete than before the
coroner's jury.
FOl'RTH—Solicitor - General
Dorsey's conference with Chief
of Police Beavers and Chief of
Detectives Lanford yesterday was
not to express dissatisfaction
with the police, hut to acquaint
himself more fully with facts
not yet made public.
FIFTH.—Officials of the jail
declared to-day that visitors will
not be allowed to see either Frank
or Lee, but, of course, counsel
"ill have free access to them.
SIXTH.—The absurd report
that State troops 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 daily of limited circula
tion.
SEVENTH,—The report that
William J. Burns is to come to
Atlanta Is of doubtful origin. The
lust heard of Mr. Burns he was in '
Europe.
EIGHTH.—Friends of Frank
are coining 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.
Rosser Asked for Transfer.
The transfer of the prisoners from
Hie police station was made on the
request of Luther Z. Rosser, who de
clared that the authorities had no
legal right to keep the prisoners at ti\ e
police station when they were being
held under suspicion of a State crime.
Asked if he would seek to have
orders given tiiat no one should talk
with the prisoners, as was done In
the Grace and Appelbautn cases, At
torney Rosser said to-day that he,
of course, would not consent to hav
ing the prisoners harassed continually
by friends and curiosity seekers, but
that he would have no objections at
all to lhe visits of the detectives.
Frank and I.ee were removed front
the police station to the Tower quietly
and without any show of demonstra
tion, effectually disposing of the re
port. that the people of the city had
been wrought up to a pitch of cx-
eiiement where they were anxious to
take the law into their own hands.
Curious Crowd Avoided.
Th e usual c rowd of curious persons
had gathered in front of the police
station, but the officers avoided them
by taking the two men out the rear
way and hurrying them over to the
jail in automobiles. The groups of
pepAons who were encountered in the
brief trip made no comments, but
looked on In silence. It was evident
tiiat tlie public mind comprehended
tiie uncertainty of the guilt of either
of tiie two men ami that the person
responsible for the death of Mary
Phagan might even be still at large.
Frank was the first out of his auto
mobile and hurried into the jail to
avoid the photographers. Lee seemed
more calm and undisturbed, stopping
before he entered the Jail doors to
