Mrs. H. W. J. Ham Is Named for
the Gainesville Place by
President Wilson.
BASEBALL
INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE
WASHINGTON, May 7.—Mrs. H.
W. J. Ham to-day was appointed by
President Wilson postmaster at
Gainesville, Ga., to succeed Mrs.
Helen Longstreet, widow of the war
veteran.
Mrs. Ham was first informed of her
appointment this afternoon by a long
distance message from The Georgian.
She expressed her appreciation of the
President's action and of the efforts
of her friends in urging her for the
position.
Mrs. Ham is the widow of the late
H. W. J. “Snollygoster” Ham, noted
throughout Georgia as a lecturer, hu
morist and author.
A. S. Hardy, editor of The Gaines
ville News, was another applicant for
the appointment. He had the indorse
ment of Congressman Bell, of the
Ninth District.
The public’s attention has been
more closely drawn to the figh£ for
the Gainesville postmastership than
^for any other Federal office in Geor
gia, perhaps, because of the spirited
campaign waged by Mrs. Longstreet
and her friends and the bitter charges
■he made against those opposed to
her reappointment. She directly ac
cused the Georgia Railway and Pow
er Company of seeking to defeat
her. because of the fight she had
made against that corporation’s oc
cupation of the property at Tallulah
Falls, which she claims belongs to
the State of Georgia and over which
suit is now pending in the Georgia
court?' to ascertain the State’s rights
therein.
.Mrs. Longstreet and her supporters
sent lengthy petitions and telegrams
to President Wilson setting forth her
charges and her claims for reappoint
ment.
In the pre-nomination campaign
last summer Mrs. Longstreet declared
herself for Colonel Roosevelt and the
Bull Moose party. She was first ap
pointed postmaster by President
Roosevelt and reappointed by Presi
dent Taft.
Mother Hunted as
Kidnaper of Her Son
J. M. Parker Appeals to Police to
Find Boy Taken from Home
By Mrs. Parker.
The police late Wednesday after
noon were asked to hunt for Earle
Parker, three and a half years? old,
declared by his father, J. M. Parker,
to have been kidnaped from his home
at 102 Jett Street by his mother.
According to the story told by
Parker, who is connected with the
\ Continental Gin Company, he has
been separated from his wife for
about a year. Wednesday Mrs. Park
er, formerly well-known in Birming
ham, where she has been living lately,
appeared at the Parker home here
according to her husband with an
other woman and two men.
The youngster was playing in Jett
' Street. He was picked up by his
mother, who whisked him into an
automobile and vanished. Parker
says he had entered suit for divorce
and the custody of the child.

cent Games Against the
Mobile Team.
MOBILE, ALA., May 7.—.George
Bausewein, the Cracker twirler, w.is
released this afternono to the Char
lotte team, in the Carolina League.
Manager Bill Smith has decided that
Bausewein needs more experience
and thinks he will get it with his new
teammates.
Bausewein looked to be one of
Smith's most promising pitchers until
he injured his ankle about three
weeks ago. He reported about a
week ago and Smith gave him two
Stale. He failed to show enough
class in his recent games against
Mobile to be retained.

KANSAS CITY, May 7.—Increases
in wages for approximately 1,0)0
shop men employed on the Southern
Railroad and allied lines in the
Southern States have been granted
by the railroads concerned, accord
ing to an announcement from the
headquarters of the International
Union of Carmen.
The announcement was based on i
telegram from F. M. Ryan, president
of the carmen's union, who is at
tending a conference in Washington.
D. C., between managers and heads
of the allied shop crafts.
The telegram said an agreemen.
had been reached granting 2 cents
an hour increase to al! the carmen,
effective April 1, and that this would
add to the carmen’s income by a to
tal of $165,000 annually.
The reasons that the city de
tectives give for the adoption of
the new theory are :
The slaying of Mary Phagan
was not a negro crime, as the on*
ly negro who has been suspected
in the case, Newt Lee, would
have fled from the scene.
The notes which were left with
the evident intention of divert
ing suspiaion from the actual
criminal were too subtle for Leo
to have framed.
Strangulation, the method by
which Mary Phagan was killed,
is not a negro method of killing.
But this method is typical of
the Mediterranean countries.
Working: along these new lines, the
detectives are of the opinion that the
‘rime was not committed inside the
National Pencil Factory. They be
lieve that the girl was attacked out
side the factory and that her body

of hiding it ultimately in the fur

it is not the supposition that ft
was the intention to burn it, as there
were no fires under the boilers. The
assailant only wanted to hide the body
so that he might have time to make
his escape.
Girls employed in tile pencil fac
tory are In the habit of getting many
of their midday lunches at a little
Greek restaurant near the factory
building. it was the most natural
tiling to suppose that Mary Phagan,
after getting her money Saturday
afternoon, stopped in at the restau
rant to get something to eat.
Gne of the important developments
in tlie search for the slaver of Mary
Phagan came Wednesday afternoon
In the surprising information that the
authorities ordered a second exhuma
tion of the body to confirm the stat e
ment of an expert physician that tile
crime, which was taken for granted
by all to have preceded the actual
killing of the girl, was not accom
plished.
One physician whose opinion has
great weight in medical circles an I
who made a minute examination of
the body, declared that he virtually
was certain that the girl had not been
outraged before she was killed and
left in the basement of the National
Pencil Factory.
Dr. J. W. Hurt, county physician,
Is understood to have said that he
was not at all satisfied on this point.
The man under suspicion is said
to have been employed at the res
taurant. It is beiieved that Maty and
the man became involved in a quar
rel. The man was in love with Mary,
the police argue, and in a rage of
jealousy slew the girl, the killing
probably taking place In an alleyway
near the factory.
Took Body In P ar Dcor.
The theory holds that the man then
gained entrance to the factory by
the front door: went into the base
ment and forced the staple of the
back door out. Then he went for
the body of the girl, returning with it
by the rear way.
Newt Lee’s testimony differed ma
terially with that of the police in re
gard to the finding of the body. Lee
said that he found it lying face up
on the basement floor. The police
declared that it was lying face down
ward, with the arms folded beneath.
This discrepancy is believed to b*
explained by the theory that as late
as the hour of discovery the criminal
was making efforts to hide the evi
dences of his crime and that he was
interrupted when tho alarm was
given.
The police believe that the Greek:
still was in the basement when Lee
made his gruesome discovery and that
he was the one who disturbed th»
