ATLANTA Contestants for 1914 Convention Have Narrowed Down to This City and Memphis. By JAMES B. NEVIN DALLAS, TEXAS, May 12. —Atlanta now claims, as pledg ed, 250 of the 460 votes in the Imperial Council for the 1914 meeting place. Memphis still is alive and the fight has seem inglv narrowed down to the two cities. If Atlanta should lose the committee's recommen dation the Georgians will carry the fight to the convention floor. Potentate Forrest Adair declares it Is all over but the 9houtfng. “Atlanta will be the Shrine Mecca in 1914, un lees I am very badly mistaken, ’ he said. The first cheering news received by Atlanta when the delegation arrived Sunday morning was that the seven teen votes of Texas are “sewed up” for Georgia. Then followed Okla homa. New York. Pennsylvania, Ore gon. British Columbia and Honolulu to the Georgia standard. Memphis, however, still is a men ace to Atlanta's chances. The Ten nesseeans claim that they were first in the field for the meeting, and they are using this argument constantly. Memphis’ tactics may result in a dark horse selection. The committee on the next meeting place will make its selection Tuesday and inform the Imperial Council of Its action either Tuesday evening or Wednesday morning. Make Big Noise for Atlanta. If there is anybody in Dallas who does not know that Yaarab Temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, is here, and has come to bring the Imperial Council to Atlanta in 1914. he must be deaf dumb and blind. The campaign on behalf of Atlanta was started the very minute Illus trious Potentate Forrest Adair step ped off the train in this town, the head and front of the most enthusias tic and determined delegation that ever went out of Atlanta after some thing the town wanted or needed m its business. To be sure, the immediate thing in hand is the session of the Imperial Council now on in Dallas, but the first thing an Atlanta delegate says to a brother Noble, after making him. self known, is 'How about, this Im perial Council thing for Atlanta next year?’’ Atlanta Best Advertised. Far and away the best advertised bidder for the honor of entertaining the Shrine next year is Atlanta. Tbs fame of the Yaarab Temple has been perfectly secure in Shrinedom f •*r many moons, and there isn’t a visit ing Shriner in this Texas metropolis w ho hasn't heard of that great “At- j lanta spirit," and the amazing things it has accomplished heretofore. There is a feeling in the atmosphere that everything is about over, so far as next year’s session is concerned, except the hurrahing for and congrat ulating of Atlanta. Still, nobody is resting. There will be no sort of let up, not so much as a hint of it. until after the vote has been taken in the imperial Council, and Atlanta officially declared the winner. Forrest Adair's Nobles have under taken to convince the Shriners of two things. First, that Atlanta wants t-'ie Imperial Council to be its guest next year, sincerely and earnestly, and sec ond, that Atlanta can and will ente - tain and take care of the gathering most handsomely. “We have convinced them that we have the hotel accommodations," sai j Continued on Page 2 Column 3.

Famous American Detective Cables He Will Return Immediately In Response to Col. Felder’s Plea For / His Services to Capture Slayer. William .1. Burn*, the world-famed detective, probably will take charge of the Phagan case. 'I’lie man who unearthed the dynamite outrages and brought the McNamara brothers to justice, will in all probability come to Atlanta within the next few days and lend his efforts toward clearing up the mystery of the Phagan. This information was made public Monday following cor respondence between Colonel Thomas B Felder and Mr. Burns since the discovery of the body in the pencil factory. Mr. Burns Is now on bis way from Europe, and will arrive on Tuesday or the following day. Upon his ar rival In New York he will confer with detectives there and then proceed to Atlanta. Credit Largely Due Felder. The services of Mr. Burns have been secured largely through Mr. Felder's efforts, it has developed. Upon Mr. Felder's retention by the citizens of Marietta and relatives of the slain girl to work on the case he journeyed to New York for a conference with Raymond Burns, son of William J. Burns, on the case witn a view to getting the great detective to come here. At that time the elder Burns was n Europe investigating the disappear- death by strangulation of Mary vision of *the Fulton County Superior Court on next Monday. The evidence against b»»th men will be placed before the Grand Jury si multaneously, according y o Mr. Dor sey. Sleuth Leaves Mystei iously. Much importance is attarhed to the departure of Solicitor Dorsey’s detec tive Monday morning for parts un known. WhUe . Uje. . SollcUor, when questioned as to Lhe destination and purpose of the detective’s trip, would give no direct answer, it is believed that the mission is in connection with some clew in the Phagan case which lias been unearthed by the mysterious investigator. The fact that a iarge number of “character witnesses" are now' being Interrogated In Brooklyn, N. Y.. the former home of Frank, and in other parts of the country bears out this suppo8itibn. That the detective has not confined himself to the theory followed by city police officials in their accumulation of evidence against Frank and Lee.

Monday it was announced that Burns was on his way to America and that Colonel Felder would take up the Phagan case with him. Felder, it is understood, will give up his own fee to employ Burns and will assist in raising funds for the purpose. Mr. Burns' warm personal friend ship for Mr. Felder has served in a large measure to draw the wuzard into the local mystery investigation. The history of their acquaintance leads back to the South Carolina dis pensary graft case, which Mr. Felder prosecuted and on which the detec tive was employed It was there the two met. When the Phagan murder was com mitted and its baffling details con fronted Atlanta police, Mr. Felder lost no time in communicating with his friend. That the man who has struck terror to the hearts of criminals by his marvelous knowledge of their ways and his wonderful deductive powers will quickly clear up the mys tery is declared certain by those who have followed his work. With the final rounding up of the evidence against Leo M. Frank and New t Lee nearing completion. Solici tor General Hugh M. Dorsey on Mon day began the process of elimination of unimportant matter and the shap ing of the case for presentation to the Grand Jury. Waits to Arrange Evidence. Whether the case will be ready for that tribunal this week is a matter of doubt. The great mass of testi mony presents a tangle which will re quire some time before il is straight- eend out and arranged properly. So licitor Dorsey declared Monday morn ing that he would not present the matter to the Grand Jury until it has been put into a clear, concise form and can be easily handled. Quick disposition of 'he rases of the accused men is assu *ed once the matter is placed before the Grand Jury. Should that body find the evi dence sufficient to hold Frank and Lee to trial, their cases will he taken up immediately before Judge L. S. Roan, who will open the Criminrl Court di- however. was admitted by Solicitor Dorsey and also the possibility that he has stumbled upon an important clew. Wife Sees Frank in Tower. While police are exhausting every available source of information to unravel the mystery. Frank and Lee remain in their cells in the Tower chafing with impatience. Mrs. Frank went to the Tower on Sunday afternoon, paying her first visit to her husband since his arrest nearly two weeks ago. Mrs. Frank was accompanied to the jail by her father, Emil Selig, of 68 East Georgia Avenue. They remained in consulta tion with the prisoner for nearly an hour. It was definitely learned Monday that Chief Lanford had not complete ly eliminated Newt Lee, the negro night watchman of the pencil factory, and that there still exists a suspicion that he may know something of the crime. ♦ In fact, the night watchman has come to be regarded as the real puz zle in the case. Chief Lanford is not satisfied as to Lee and any possible part he may have played in the tragedy. He de clared he had lain awake at night trying to figure out satisfactorily the negro's position. First Words Still Puzzle. The point that prevents detectives from eliminating Lee is his first state ments to officers following his discov ery of the dead girl’s body. W r hen he first called the police station, he said he had found a “white woman dead in the basement.” The officers who hastened to the factory declared it would have been impossible for him to have discerned whether the girl was white or black from his posi tion when he found her. When the officers arrived, Lee toki them the girl was lying flat of her back. They went into the basement and found the dead girl lying face downward Lee also told them that the girl had a wound in the back of the head. Detectives say it is possible that the negro, in the excitement of finding the body, may have been honestly mistaken as to Its position, but, at Continued on Page 2 Column 2m
