MINNEAPOLIS, May 9.—“I want
to plough, clean house, make hay and
drive binders in the flelvl,” says Grace
Simpson in her application to the
Devils Lake (Commercial Club for a
chance to do the same work on, a
farm as a man would.
“The day is past when it is out of
the ordinary for a girl to labor at
men's work,” Miss Simpson asserted.
“I love horses and I am sure that
I can take just as good care of them
as any man. The city work would
kill me in the summer time. I can
beat some men at their own jobs at
^hat. If l ean get as good wages in
the country as I can get here I shall
leave immediately.”

PLYMOUTH. ENGLAND, May 9.-
Upon her arrival here to-day on
board the liner Olympic from New
York, Mrs Evelyn Thaw, wife of Har
ry Thaw, declared emphatically and
1 positively that her husband i* the fa-
! ther of her baby, a fact which he de-
?
. . | “Oifie has only to look at fn^ ift'ue
j darling to know who its father is," she
sbid, as she cuddled the infant. “Har
ry is my husband and the father of
my child. I love my baby and am go
ing to see that it is justly treated by
relatives of my husband.”
Mrs. Thaw said she was ^oing to
return to the stage at once. She has
signed contracts, she said, to appear
in music halls tn London at $5,000 a
week, and later will be ceen in vaude-

Board Reports Conditions at the
State Asylum Call for
Many Reforms.
Striking new methods of handling
patients in the Georgia State Sani
tarium at Mllledgeville are urged in
the annual report of the board of di
rectors, submitted to Governor Brown
Friday. The mc*t important recom
mendations are:
The enactment of a steriliza
tion law, applying to certain
classes of criminals and defec
tives. modeled after recently en
acted laws of Nsw Jersey and
Indiana.
A ban on the commitment of
epileptics (not insane), feeble
minded children, harmless seniles
and paralytics and persons es
caping trial by pleas of lunacy.
This is a hospital and not a pris
on.
The report declares that poor re
sults have been obtained at the insti
tution in the cure of insanity on ac
count of the crowded conditions and
the lack of facilities for segregating
and treating the curable cases apart
from the criminal and hopelessly in
sane. A psycophathlc hospital is
urged.
No Provision for Children.
“No provision is made in our State
educational system for the care and
treatment of feeble-minded children,”
states the report. “Most of them are
capable of training that will aid In
their happiness and fit them for some
usefulness. Only the grosser types
are committed to the State Sanita
rium. while jhe great majority are
al!o*d to grow''tin without care

ALMOST DIES BECAUSE OF
WIFE’S MISCHIEVOUS EYES
SAVANNAH, GA„ May H.-Hom-r
Mearchum. a member of the A1 Shaf

fering from the effects of wood al
cohol taken last night with intent to

Mathis Is Given Station by State
Railroad Commission—Victor
Cited its Beauty.
Wiley, the “natural center of the
cow movement.” and the most popu
lous town of the vicinity, with twen
ty-three persons, loses its fight for
an agency station on the Tallulah
Falls Railroad.
By order of the Georgia Railroad
Commission, Mathis is the victor.
The Tallulah Falls Railroad has been
instructed to build a station there
and put an agent in charge.
Both towns are In Rabun County.
They engaged in excited strife over
the location of the station. Mathis

ANNAPOLIS, MI)., May 9.—-Lieu
tenant Richard Hill, U. S. N., was
found dead this afternoon with a bul
let hole in his heart.

SUICIDE EPIDEMIC AT MACON.
MACON, GA„ May 9.—S. D. Walk
er. an East Macon blacksmith, to
day ended his life with carbolic acid.
This was the ninth suicide here this
year.
tNirthSEctfminltmTrit wllflPtlie in
sane should be stopped "and some
adequate provision made by the
State for thesi**JSil<Jr#n"
The report criticises the present
system of confining epileptics not in
sane in the sanitarium, pointing out
that association with crazy persons
tends to hopelessly depress them and
also has a bad effect on the insane
persons. A hospital for epileptics Is
recommended; and It is suggested
that it should be named for T. O.
Powell because of the great service
he has rendered the State along such
lines.
Negro Quarters Insanitary.
Alarming insanitary and over
crowded conditions In the negro
building are reported and the need
of *190,000 for an annex to this build
ing is said to be Imperative. To sep
arate the acute insane from the hope,
lessly insane an appropriation of
$135,000 is urged. For a nurses' home
$40,000 is asked.
There are 3,429 patients In the In
stitution, 1,108 having been admitted
this year. The daily average during
1912 was 3,424, an Increase of 41 over
1911. The annual average increase
during the last five years has been
89. Of eleven criminals committed,
three were found to be sane.
The average ccst per patient last
year was $153.06. The total income
of the sanitarium was $530,000.
There Is an exceedingly high dealh
rate among the negro patients. Most
of the deaths in the institution are
from tuberculosis and pellagra, re
cent increases in pellagra deaths be
ing reported as startling.
The report wat submitted by John
T Brantly. president of the board.
Other recommendations for changes
in the laws governing the Institution
are;
That the three nearest adult rela
tives can, with the consent of the
Ordinary, waive the tan days' notice
of trial for lunacy. This is to prevent
victims being held in Jail during the
ten days.

Solicitor Dorsey Says He Has Se
cured Powerful Aid in Search for
Slayer of Girl—Woman Says She
Heard Screams in Pencil Factory.
Shelby Smith, chairman of the Fulton commission, declared
Friday afternoon that the board would hack Solicitor Dorsey in any
and all expense he might incur in the slate’s exhaustive investiga
tion into the Phagan murder mystery. Smith said:
“We have instructed Dorsey to obtain the best possible detec
tive skill for his probe and he would be backed by the counv com
mission to the last ditch in the money he spent.
“The fact the he hired a good detective Friday is news to me,
but he has the sanction and backing of the hom'd in the matter.”
HIRES BEST DETECTIVE, HE SAYS.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey said Friday afternoon that
he had the best detective in America working on the mystery of the
Mary Phagan strangling.
Important developments had ensued already, he declared, and
he was confident that an early solution of the case would he reached
by the new expert of national reputation who had been placed at
work on the (dews.
The solicitor is understood to have, the affidavit of a woman
who swears that she heard a girl's screams as she was passing the
factory at 4:30 o’clock Hie afternoon of the tragedy. The cries
were shrill and, mere mg, she says, and died away as she stopped
an instant to listen.
The woman was sure they
came from inside the factory, but
she gave little attention to her
startling experience until she
read of the strangling of Mary
Phagan. Then it occurred to her
that she very likely had heard
the dying cries of the little girl
and she reported the matter to
the authorities.
Solicitor Dorsey, as his first action
after the holding of Leo M. Frank and
Newt Lee" to the Grand Jury for the
murder of Mary Phagan, put out the
dragnet for witnesses.
A batch of subpenrfs were Issued
for the witnesses to appear in hi* of
fice to give testimony in the case of
“The State vs. John Doe.”
After a long conference with De
tectives Starnes anil Campbell, Solici
tor Dorsey asserted that action on
the part of the Grand Jury might b%
expected any time after Friday. He
plainly intimated that a special aes-
, sion of the jury might be convened
| Saturday to consider the Phagan
murder.
The Solicitor declared as he left the
! court ho us*© with a private detective
| whose name he refused to divulge
that he anticipated the development
of startling evidence before night,
j which, he said, would clear matters
; materially.
Dorsey Questions Newt Lee.
With the private detective the So
licitor went to the Tower and was
closeted with Newt Lee, the night
watchman, for more than an hour.
The form of the subpena Is taken
to mean that many of the witnesses
1 will submit their sworn testimony
, before the Solicitor General, who will
j thus have It In documentary form, in
stead of going before the Grand Jury
i to give oral testimony. However, it
! will be neces**arv for the material or
j indicting witnesses to go before the
Grand Jurors in person.
“The investigation has Just be-
| gun,’’ said Chief of Detectives Lan-
J ford Friday, in discussing the action
i of the Coroner’s jury. "We were
confident we had presented suffici
ent evidence to warrant the holding
of the two suspects in the case, but
we will have much more when the
j case gets into the courts.
Have Strong Theory Already.
“We are going to continue right on
with the investigation and try to dig
down to the full truth of the mys
tery. We have a strongly supported
theory as to who committed the
! crime, but we are ready at any time
to change our opinions as soon as
the evidence points In another direc-
j tion.
“Tt will be possible, with the rush
1 and hurry of the Coroner’s jury
SENATE BEGINS
IF TARIFF BILL
Received From House and Re
ferred—Hearings Are Secret.
Expect Vote in Nine Weeks.
WASHINGTON, May 9. Shortly
after the Senate convened to-di^y the
Underwood tariff bill was brought
over from the House, read and re
ferred to the Finance Committee.
In the Finance Committee the
schedule was assigned to sub-com
mittee No. 1, composed of Senators
Stone, Thomas, James and Simmons,
and the wool schedule to No. 2—
Senators Williams, Shively, Gore and
Simmons. The remaining schedules
were divided equally between sub
committees 1, 2 and 3.
Hearings on the bill will be behind
closed doors, the Democrats having
decided that public hearings would
consume too much time. It is ex
pected that three weeks will be used
by the committee in considering the
measures, and six weeks more in de
bate on the floor •
It also is considered certain (hat
a number of changes will be m;ide in
the measure, necessitating its refer
ence to the conference of the House
and Senate members.
On the final test in the House last
night the vote was 281 to 139. five
Democrats voting against the bill and
two Republicans voting for it Four
Progressives supported the bill and
fourteen opposed it, while one Inde
pendent Progressive Joined with the
majority.
When Speaker Clark announced the
vote in loud tones that revealed his
satisfaction exhuberant Democrats
hoisted a stuffed Democratic donkey
over the heads of their colleagues
in the rear of the chamber, a ripple of
applause followed anil the gavel fell
on the first chapter in the history of
President Wilsons extra session of
Congress
With the bill on its way to the Sen
ate, there was a rush of Representa
