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.

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 J. Ham withdrawn as postmaster .it Gainesville is understood to be under way here, although Representaive Thomas M. Bell, (’ongressman from the Ninth District, says he is not a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 Ham’s name withdrawn has been Inaugurated by friends 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.

Mrs. Schuinpert ad niitted all the interesting details to day when the records in the Ordi nary’s office were placed before her as conclusive proof that she had mar ried ahead of lime.

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.

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. Five Busy Days for Shriners at Dallas.
