Candler and Street
Car Officials Confer
Company Reported Willing to Meet
Rush Traffic Suggestions More
Than Half Way.
P. S. Arkwright, president, and the
traffic officials of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company held a long
conference with C. M. Candler, chair
man of the Georgia Railroad Com
mission, in reference to the conges
tion of street car traffic in Atlanta
during rush hours.
Statistics recently given the com
mission, allowing the fare register
readings at terminals and cross
town points for a period of a week,
were considered. -
Mr. Candler submitted suggestions
and criticisms. It is understood that
the officials are ready to meet the
commission’s suggestions more than
half-way. Increased service, it is
said, has been delayed only to see
what the commission intended to
order.

Villages War for
Railway Station
Wiley Claims 23 People and Is “Cow
Center”—Mathis Depends on
Natural Beauty.
Rabun County Is at white heat, and
i he old feud between the towns of
Wiley and Mathis is at its height. The
vital question of which place gets a
regular railroad station with an agent
in charge is to be determined this
week by the Georgia Railroad Corn-
mission.
Wiley claims the greater population.
Within a radius of one mile from
Wiley there are 23 persons giving, it
has been shown conclusively. It claims
also to be “the natural center of the
cow movement,’’ whatever that may
mean.
Mathis claims that It is due to be
come a great summer resort because
of the beauty of the lake created there
by the Georgia Railway and Power
Company’s dam.
Photographs of the surrounding
country, letters from almost every
State between Ohio and the District
of Columbia, a mass of evidence and
many personal appeals have reached
the Railroad Commission on the sub
ject.
Typists’ Uniforms
Please London Girls
“They Double the Life of Our Private
Dre*9ea,” Says One, and Are
Very Becoming Beside.
Special Cable to The American.
LONDON, May 10.—London typists
have become reconciled to the uni
form. It was feared there would be a
great revolt on the part of the young
women of this avocation when a lead
ing firm adopted a specific style of
dress for them, but there has been no
open protest.
“We were inclined to believe the
management could not possibly select
a costume becoming to all of us,” said
Mia* Dorothy Clegg, a pretty young
typist to-day, “but we were mistaken.
A dressmaker took our measurements,
and a few days later the dresses ar
rived. They are ideal business dresses.
Cinrmmon In color, and in the Empire
style, they harmonize with the cream
and green eolor scheme of the offices*.
“The full sleeves are appreciated.
The low neck and the fullness of the
skirt give perfect freedom, while the
narrow' cuffs give a neat effect. Our
private dresses have now double the
life, owing to the protection afforded
them. When the day’s work is done
wo can slip off the Empire dress in
less than a minute."
Slayer of King of
Greece a Suicide
Assassin Leaps to His Death From
Window of Police Building
in Athens.
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, May 6.—A news agency
dispatch received here to-day from
A hens states that Aleko Shinas. the
anarchist who assassinated King
George of Greece in Salonika on
March 18, jumped from a window In
the police building and killed him
self.
How ihe prisoner eluded the jailers
is not told in the dispatch.
Schina* killed the King by firing
point blank into his back while he
was walking along the streets of Sa

the crime that in 1911 he had applied
for assistance at the King’s palace
and had been driven away.
Society Folk Nabbed

Chicago Host Has Hi6 Guests Taken

Joke.
CHICAGO, May 6. An even dozen
prominent society and business folk
of Chicago learned to-day that their
arrest on a charge of gambling at the
home of Richard F. Peyton, in High
land Park, a fashionable suburb, was
all a joke.
The guests of Peyton were caught

police force—the chief and his two as
sistants—“arrest” his guests and take
them to the police station charged
with gambling.

Solicitor Believes Victim May

Down Elevator Shaft.
Solicitor General Dorsey. Chief of
Detectives Lanford, Chief of Police
Beavers, and all men working under
them In the Phagan case seem
thoroughly satisfied with the progress
they are making in the great mystery.
They are actively engaged in many
unknown directions—as they say.
“piling up evidence to strengthen the
case.”
What evidence the officials have
other than that which has already
been made public they refuse to di
vulge. Solicitor Dorsey declines to
make public his case in the news
papers. He is Investigating every
phase of the matter through trusted
men working under his own direc
tion.
It is perfectly proper for the chief
prosecuting officer to withhold any
and ail evidence until such time as
he may present his case to the Grand
Jury.
That there is new and startling evi
dence seems true, but just what it in
dicates the officials refuse to say, and
the newspaper reporters, therefore,
are merely guessing at what may be,
or may not be, the actual facts.
Solicitor I* Reticent.
Solicitor Dorsey was feticent about
the nature of the most recent dis
coveries, but his guarded statements
indicated that he considered the dis
closures which have been made b>
the force of detectives, physicians and
chemists working under his direction
as having a most important bearing
on the solution of the crime.
Mr. Dorsey issued this statement:
I see in an interview attributed
to Quinn that 1 asked him if he
was not paid by counsel for Frank
to protect Frank.
This statement, so far as I am
concerned, Is absolutely false.
Throughout my talk with him 1
did not mention the name of coun
sel nor did I intimate that counsel
had been guilty of any such con
duct.
it is known that a more thorough
and minute examination of every lo
cality and every article having any
connection or possible connection
with the slaying of Mary Phugan is
being made now than was undertaken
in tHe first few days of the mystery.
Blood Stains Analyzed.
I’rider the direction of Solicitor
Dorsey, chemists have made a new
analysis of the blood found on the
factory floor, where the Phagan girl
evidently struggled with her assail
ant.
Dr. 11. F. Harris, director of the
State Board of Health, is making a
second examination of the body of
the slain girl, which was taken from
the grave in the cemetery at Ma
rietta.
Whether it was from any one of
the sources that Solicitor Dorsey ob
tained his new' lead in tracking down
the slayer, he would not say. He
would only repeat that every clew
that offered the slightest ray of hope
would be followed to the end.
May Have Been Hurled Down Shaft.
A startling theory announced oy
the Solicitor is that the body of Mary j
Phagan was thrown, alive, down the
elevator shaft from the second floor
to the basement. He has found th P
the soil at the bottom of the shaft is
soft and that the girl might not havs
been seriously injured by a fall of
this distance. He would not be sur
prised if subsequent developments
proved that the girl was slain not
on the second floor of the factory, but
in the basement at just about the spot j
where the body was found.
To insure that not the smallest par- |
tide of evidence is overlooked, Solici
tor Dorsey is continuing his rigid in
vestigation of the factory itself. Elec
tric lights have been strung in every
nook and corner of the basement,
where before it was black and gloomy
Te dirt and trash covering the floor is
being searched painstakingly in the
hope that some tell-tale clew may be
discovered—that the girl’s missing
purse may be found, or that some ar
ticle disclosing the identity of the
slayer may be turned up.
The Atlanta police and State officials say they place little im
portance in the arrest of Paul P. Powell, the former Atlanta youth
who is being held by the Houston authorities. ,
In Bowen’s trunk was found a mass of clippings telling of
the Phagan killing, and at least 50 photographs of girls and young
women. Several times while he was being questioned, Bowen is
said to have contradicted himself.
Bowen stoutly maintains his innocence. Relatives and friends
of liia in Atlanta say his arrest is preposterous.
Atlanta detectives haw- investigated thoroughly Bowen's his
tory in Atlanta and declared Tuesday afternoon that they have
virtually established an alibi for him. Having satisfied themselves
of the probability of Bowen's innocence, they are continuing on
their original line of investigation and have abandoned the theory
that Bowen could have been involved.
The local authorities have asked, however, that Bowen be held
until a more complete investigation can he made. They think he
will be able to prove his innocence and say that they have letters
in their possession which practically establish tha1 Bowen could
not have been in Atlanta on the date of the crime.
One letter, addressed to Charles Kimball, a clerk in the South
ern Railway office, was postmarked April 2li at Lukin, Texas, and
did not reach Atlanta until April 27, the day after the killing in
the National Pencil Factory basement.
Another letter, which is in the possession of Solicitor Dorsey,
was written by Bowen to an Atlanta friend and was mailed at Ty
ler, Texas, April 20 as Bowen was on his way to Texarkana, Ark.
These letters lead the local authorities to believe that Bowen can
not reasonably be supposed to* have come the hundreds of miles
just in time to commit the crime and then immediately jump a train
to return Westward.
HOUSTON 1 , TEXAS, May 6.—Paul P. Bowen, arrested be
cause of the suspicion of the local authorities that he was con
nected with the murder of Mary Phagan in Atlanta, denied Tues
day all knowledge of the girl and the crime except as he read of
it in the newspapers.
A score of clippings telling the story of the little girl's death
were found in the young man’s room. His only explanation was
that Atlanta was his home town, and he was particularly inter
ested in the crime because of that.
The police here regard as more significant than the clippings,
the stories of Bowen’s actions in his room at the St. Jean Hotel,
and later at a rooming house. Roomers in adjoining rooms are
said to have been disturbed by his moans and niutteriiigs and by
his constant pacing of the Moor.
"Why did 1 do itT Why did
I do it?” lie is declared to have
repeated to himself incessantly.
Complaint wa# first made to the
hotel authorities and later the
police were notified.
Bowen was arrested last night by
Chief of Police Davison. Chief of De
tectives Peyton and Detective Hilton
at lf>2> Texas Avenue.
"A night of terror,” as officers term
it, led to the detention of Bowen.
Sunday night in room 214, at the
St. Jean Hotel, the young man paced
the floor and moaned. Persons in ad
joining rooms were unable to sleep,
and reported to the management that
something was wrong in the room.
An investigation disclosed Bowen
| poring over letters and newspaper
accounts of the murder and crying
I aloud.
j “Oh, why did I do it?” he is said to
have cried.
"I would not have done it. bought
not to have done that. If 1 had it
to do over'I wouldn’t do it,” were re
peatedly heard by those who listened
and who frequently walked through
the hall in an effort to ascertain some
cause for the peculiar actions of th*
