Even it' nothing new should develop, we have enough leads to keep half a dozen detectives busy for a week.'' Detectives Rosser. Campbell. Hlack, Starnes and Bullard are still work ing with tie chief on the rase and probably will continue until the mys tery Is cleared. Lemmie Quinn, foreman in the lip ping department at the National Pen cil factory, was the first of the wit nesses to be examined by the Solici tor. He was in Mr. Dorsey's office a considerable part of the forenoon and underwent a rigorous examination New Witnesses Sought. Detectives Starnes and Campbell also wore with the Solicitor, and two of the Solicitor's assistants, Newton Garner and Dan Goodlin, were dis patched the first thing in the morn ing to hunt up new witnesses of whom Mr. Dorsey had Information. Foreman Quinn was called, it is understood, to clear up the discrep ancies in his testimony and the state- monjL / iie is said to have made to the oe^etives and to several of his ac quaintances. In his testimony before the Coroner's jury he declared that he visited the factory between 12:10 ar.d 12:30 o’clock, the afternoon of the killing of Mary Phagan. He said he talked with Frank for two minutes, in the superintendent's of fice. Detectives declared that Quinn had told them and other persons that he did not visit the factory at all Satur day and that he was not there from the time he left Friday until the fol lowing Monday. Frank Expected To Be Held. "That's about what I expected at ti a lime,” was the comment with which Leo M Frank. with little of emotion, received the news 6:08 o'clock. At 6:28 they were back with their verdict. Coroner Donehoo admonished the Jurors to be as ready to hold a person who they thought might be withhold ing information of the crime as to hold a person they regarded as the possible culprit A person possessing knowledge of the crime and withhold ing it, he said, was an accessory after the fact. An immediate hush fell on the packed room when the Jurors return- erf. There was a dead silence except for the voice of Homer C. Ashford, foreman of the jury, when the verdict was read. Girls Testify Against Frank. The most damaging testimony against Frank In regard to his treat ment of employees at his factory was saved until the last hours of the hear ing. Girls and women were oalle’d to the Hand to testify that they had been employed at the factory or had had occasion to go there, and that Frank had attempted familiarities with them. Nellie Pettis, of 9 Oliver Street, de clared that Frank had made improper advances to her. She was asked if she ever had been employed at the pencil factory. "No." she answered. Q. Do you know Leo Frank'.’ A. I have seen him once or twice." Q. When and where did you see him?—A. In his office at the factory whenever I went to draw' my sister- in-law’s pay. Q.

He looked at it significantly and then looked at me. When he looked at me. tie winked. Ac he winked he said: *How about It?’ "1 instantly told him I was a nice girl .’’ Here the witness stopped her state ment. Coroner Donehoo asked her .sharply : "Didn’t you say anything else?” "Yes.

Solicitor Dorsey said Friday he would give* the Phagan case all of his attention anti present his evidence to the Grand Jury as quickly as possi ble. The solicitor has shown an anxiety to avoid delays of any nature in hunt ing down the slayer of the Phagan girl, and now that the Coroner’s jury has turned the case over to the So licitor and the Grand Jury it may be taken for granted that the investiga tion will be hurried along with all possible speed. Case in State's Hands. "The case now is fully in the hands of the State,” said the Solicitor Fri day morning. "It will not be pre sented to the Grand Jury Friday, but 1 shall endeavor to present it at the earliest possible moment. The instant that I have a complete case 1 shall bring it to the attention of the Grand Jury. It is my desire to bring the slayer of Mary Phagan to Justice with the greatest dispatch A great crime has been done and I am no less eager to sec the guilt determined than the general public.” It required the Coroner's jury about twenty minutes to frame its formal verdict Thursday night.

For the first time in the history of Presbyterian ism in America representatives from its four branches will gather in joint assembly. From May 15 to May 22 more than 5,000 visiting Presbyterians will be the city’s guests. Of this number 1,500 w ill be regularly appointed com missioners'. constituting the largest religious assemblage ever held in the South. More than 700 representatives of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., or Northern Division, 500 from the Presbyterian Church, U. S.. or South ern Division; 300 from the United Presbyterian and 25 special repre sentatives from the Associate Re formed Churches will comprise the assemblies. Atlanta has thrown open her homes to’ the visitors, all denominations uniting in entertaining the church representatives who come from ev ery State in the Union, Porto Rico, Hawaii and Panama. A number of prominent churchmen from Canada also are expected. The commission ers are chosen, one-half from the clergy and the other half from the laity. They constitute the governing body of the church and are selected large ly because of their prominence and their activity in church work. Church Union Considered. Southern Presbyterians will be es pecially interested in the discussions looking to a union between the United and the Southern divisions. Two com mittees were appointed last year, one from each of the branches, to confer on a possible basis of union. Their reports will be submitted. It is said the committees have reached an agreement and it is generally believed that the assemblies will act favorably on their reports. Details of the agreement have not been published, but it is believed that they will prove acceptable to both bodies. While the Associate Reformed branch of the church will not hold a regular conference here, prominent representatives will be in attendance as special commissioners Their synod met in December, but it is probable that an adjourned session will be held. A feature of the meeting here, car- r? ing with it perhaps the most wide spread interest, will be a possible ef fort to unite the Northern and South ern branches of the church. Unor- pui’zed endeavor has been made dur ing verai years past to bring about the union, but with no further resuPs than that churchmen have been aroused on the subject. The Joint meeting here is regarded by repre sentative Presbyterians as a most auspicious occasion for the matter to be thrashed out and a union effected. No such opportunity has ever offered itself, as the assemblies have always met in widely separated cities, at sep arate times. Union Seminary Fight. Of considerable interest, particular ly to the Northern branch of the church, will be the effort to bring Union Theological Seminary back into tlie fold. The sixteen delegates from New York, however, w'ere elected on the pledge that they wpuld fight to maintain the present status of the seminary. Charges of extravagance and usurpation of authority against the Board of Home Missions of the Northern Church will be investigated. Rev. Joseph L. Weaver, D.D., of Rocky Ford. Colo., It is understood, has pre ferred the charges. Dr. William Ful ton, of Philadelphia, is chairman or the investigating committee. An interesting fight for the place of moderator of the Northern Assembly has developed. The leading candi dates are Rev. Dr. Maint-Alexander, of Pittsburg: Rev. Dr. Samuel S. Pal mer. of Columbus, Ohio; Rev. Dr. William McKibbin, president of Lane Theological Seminary of Cincinnati, anad Rev. Dr. Frederick W. Hinitt, of Danville, Ky. Bryan to Speak. The meeting of the assemblies .n Atlanta will bring to the city some of the notable men of the country, prominent not only in church affairs, but national figures also. United States Senator Hoke Smith will be present Tuesday, May 20, to preside over a meeting for home mis sions. Some of the most prominent leaders of the Associate Reformed blanch of the church will be in at tendance upon the assemblies, one of them being Dr. J. H. Pressley, >1* Statesville. N. C. t moderator of the A. R. P. division. Among the definite arrangements already made are a number of confer ences at the various churches of the city.

Dunbar Ogden. of Central Presbyterian Church, Atlanta, a union communion service will be held at 4 o’clock Fri day afternoon at the Baptist Taber nacle.

Programs Results of Savant's Treatment Do Not Justify Confidence, Health Board Reports. WASHINGTON. May 9.—“Effects of the Frieumann cure thus far ob served do not justify the confidence in the remedy which has been in spired by well-meant publicity.” This is the crux of an official state ment from the board of examiners of the public health service, delivered by Dr. John F. Anderson before the American Congress of Physicians and Surgeons in Washington to-day. Dr. Anderson said harm may have been done by undue publicity in less ening the confidence of tuberculosis victims in w’ell-recognized methods of treatment. With respect to the patients under examination in New York, he said many have developed no considerably infiltrate at all and have not suffered from abscess formations. This would indicate that they must be under treatment a long time to effect a cure, as Dr. Friedmann stated that infiltrate and abscess formations ir> dicated more or less rapid progress toward cure. . . Not Ready to Give Opinion. The report which was also sub mitted by Dr. Anderson and Dr. A. M. Btlmson, another public health surgeon, said in part: “At the present time we are not in position to express an opinion upon the present cases under ob servation. The disease for which the remedy is used is prolonged and is marked by periods of improvement and retrogression. “We must not lose sight of the possible therapeutic value of this preparation, but It is necessary to guard against too great an optimism in respect to its merits. However, we are in a position to state that the facts thus far observed do not justify the confidence in the remedy that has been inspired by widespread publicity. “In our opinion, harm may have been done by this undue publicity because it has lessened the confi dence of tuberculosis patients in well recognized methods of treatment, or interrupted their use. "In our series of patients. Dr. Friedmann has made has made al most exclusive *»se of the intramus cular method and a very considerable portion of them have developed either no considerable infiltrate at all or have suffered from abscess forma tions. Large Amount of Serum Refused. “It is very evident, therefore, that a considerable number of Dr. Fried mann’s patients may expect their treatment at the hands of Dr. Fried mann to cover a long period. "Concerning the cultures submit ted to us, we may state that a series of experiments ^are under way.

Students of the Georgia Military Academy are to-day jubilant over high praise bestowed on their camp at Lakewood by officers of the Fifth Regiment of the Georgia National Guard, who were guests of the cadets Thursday afternoon. The entire reg imental staff took part in the inspec tion. It pronounced the camp a model. A dance was held Thursday night in honor of the Fifth Regiment. The day was officially known an "ex-cadet day,” and many former students of the school were present. an acid-fast organism, having prop erties quite different from those of any tuberculosis baccilus with which we have been acquainted. It appears to be identical with an organism cul tivated from a few loopfulls of the material used for injection which Dr. Friedmann permitted us to place on culture media in his presence. “We requested Dr. Friedmann to furnish us with a large quantity of this material for examination, but this he refused to do. “We can state that living acid-fast bacteria are being injected by the muscular and intravenous, method, al though we are ignorant of what me dium they are suspended in, or what additional substance or substances may be contained in the final ” mix ture.” C ASTOR IA For Infants and Children.
