quizzed her t^e Sat unlay following
the killing of Mary Phagan. The gir

to seize every available bit of infor
mation. They stopped Mrs. Edmond
son and the girl, and were rewarded
by Monteen’s statement that she had
been in Frank’s office ot> the after
noon of the fatal day.
Monteen Rtover said she did not
know Mary Phagan, and probably had
never seen her. She commended
Frank as being popular with his em

last 2-1 hours has been the elimina
tion of another clew. The “woman in
red.” a mysterious figure reported to
l ave been seen with Mary Phagan at
the pencil factory, has been located.
She hi Mrs Nancy Caldwall, of 10
Gray Street, an acquaintance of the
dead girl. Examination revealed the
fact, however, that she had not been
with Mary Phagan In a year. The
tumor of her association with the
Phagan girl on the afternoon of the
killing started in the mistaken sta»e-
ment of a girl a Mapleton.

to her death in the basement of the
factory, and not in the upslalra lathe

passed the factory about 4 :30 o’clock
Saturday afternoon, April 26. is in the

factory she was attracted by the shrill
screams of a girl, corning, apparently,

she stopjM*d. hearing three sharp
set earns in rapid succession. Then the
factory becalm quiet again.

Congressman Bell Not Party to
Fight on Gainesville Woman.
President Explains.
WASHINGTON. May 10. A move
ment to have the name of Mrs. H. V\ .
J. Ham withdrawn as postmaster .it
Gainesville is understood to be under
way here, although Representaive
Thomas M. Bell, (’ongressman from
the Ninth District, says he is not a
party to it.
It Is well known that Congressman
Hell feels keenly the turning down of
his recommendation In the Gaines
ville malter, as he thinks. Gainesvill -
being his home town, his wishes
should hgve prevailed. Then, too, the
Congressman had an engagement with
the President the day after Mrs.
Ham’s name was sent to the Senate,
to discuss the Gainesville post mas
tership.
Nam* Ssnt Accidentally.
President Wilson addressed a note
to Mr. Bell, telling him the name was
ont in through inadvertance. an he
had not intended 'making the nomina
tion that day. He. however, said
nothing about changing the situation.
SinCe the appointment was sent in.
Congressman Hell has not been to
the White House. The movement
to have Mrs. Ham’s name withdrawn
has been Inaugurated by friends >!
all the parties concerned. In th"
hope of avoiding that which now
seems likely to develop considerable
feeling in Congressional circles.
Bell Not to Ask Recall.
Congressman Bell said to-day: “I
understand there b* talk of a move
ment to ask the President to with
draw Mrs. Ham’s name, one reason
being that on the President’s own
admission the name was sent to the
Senate inadvertently. I shall make
no such request. However, 1 would
do so if I had information that my
candidate. Mr. A. S Hardy, would
be appointed. I have nothing directly
against the appointment of Mrr. Ham,
hut I earnestly and sincerely desired
the appointment of the man I had
indorsed.”
.Mr. Hell said he knew nothing of
any plan to make a fight on Mrs
Ham’s name when it comes up for
confirmation by the Senate, and the
possibility of such a fight was denied
at the offices of both Senator Bacon
and Senator Smith.
li is the disposition of tne Georgia
delegation to leave the matter in th ■
hands of the President If he ir.di-
< -ites that he would appoint Mr Hnr
d\ then Mr. Bel! will ask him to
withdraw the name of Mrs. Ham. but
unless such information is forthcom
ing, Mrs. Ham’s name will probably
be confirmed.
The President was not at the
Whit# Houle to-day and no informa
tion could be .obtained there.
Mrs. Hongstreet talked with a num
ber of friends in the capital and wlii
go before the Senate nominating
committee to protest against her re
moval. Her protest will be that her
work has not been unsatisfactory ->
Gainesville people.
An announce-emnt from Congress
man Thomas M. Bell that he would
Issue n statement to the public re
gnrding the Gainesville postoffi. e
created quite a sensation among th *
Georgians here.

will be served at Vicksburg, where
the train crosses the Father of Wa
ters and invades the West. Great
doings are promised at the Hill City,
though only a short stop can be made.
At 9 o’clock this evening the train
is due in Shreveport, the second city
of Louisiana. Shreveport has a bunch
of live Shriners. and is in thorough
sympathy with Yaarab’s aspirations
to play host to the Shrine in 1914.
A combination baggage car and
coach, a tourist kitchen car. two
standard Pullmans for the patrol and
two Pullmans for the officers, repre
sentatives of Atlanta commercial bod
ies and nobles make up a train which
never was surpassed in comfort.
"They travel like they owned the
railroad,” observed a train caller at
Jackson.
"They own the earth," answered
the station master, "and all the full
ness thereof.’’
Reach Dallas Sunday Morning.
John L. Meek, assistenat general
passenger agent of the Southern, is in
charge of the train. A. P. Matthews,
division passenger agent of the Frisco
lines, and N. C. Woodridge, south
eastern passenger agent of the Texas
and Pacific, assume charge when their
lines are reached.
The special is to reach the Texas
city at 5 o’clock Sunday morning. On
arrival, Yaarab Temple drum corps
will parade the streets. Returning,
the special will come through Texar
kana, Memphis and Birmingham. The
return trip, it is confidently expected,
will be a triumphal progress.
Atlanta Shriners Face
Strong Competition.
DALLAS, TEXAS. May 10. -When
Atlanta Shriners reach Dallas Sun
day morning, they not only will find
a warm welcome, but also some vig
orous competitors for the 1914 Im
perial Council.
The Georgians will be met at the
train by Hella Temple Patrol and a
band, not to mention a big reception
committee. The delegation is due
here at 5 o’clock. If has been ar
ranged for them to parade to their
headquarters at the Southland Ho
tel. Hundreds of adopted TexanS
from Georgia are “pulling" for At
lanta.
Fred Geisler, one of the advance
guard of Atlanta Shriners, reached
Dallas early yesterday and com
menced to lay plans for capturing the
1914 convention for Atlanta.
“After a canvass of the situation,"
|he asserted. "Atlanta stands the best
; chance. If Memphis were eliminated.
I think he would win on the first
ballot. With two Southern cities in
the race, it will require much work
to secure the convention. Baltimore
is mentioned also as a strong factor,
but I find Atlanta is in the lead."
Visit to Meridian as
Lively as Circus Day.
MERIDIAN, MISS., May 10.—Cir-
; cus day has nothing on to-day. All
Meridian was astir early this morn
ing to greet the Atlanta Shriners
| who passed through at 8 o’clock on
j their way to Dallas, where they will
land the 1914 Council.
Meridian’s patrol met the train in
full uniform, and the Yaarab nobles,
no longer sleepy, responded heartily
to the welcome given them.
All the Atlantans were routed out
| and taken in autos to the best res-
| taurant in town, where an old-fash-
I ioned Mississippi breakfast was
, served. Then began a trip around
the city in automobiles. Thoughtful
Meridian Shriners saw to it that a
lady was put in charge of each car.
Mrs. D. F. White and Miss Bessie
Kempton, of Atlanta, who are trav
eling with the Shriners, were the
guests of honor, and were shown ev
ery courtesy the fertile genius of Mis-
sissippians could invent.
So enthusiastic were the Meridian
hosts that the stopover had to be
extended from an hour to an hour
and a half.
