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 voles in the
Imperial Council for the 1914
meeting place. Memphis still
is alive and the fight has seem
ingly 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 shouting. “Atlanta
will be the Shrine Mecca in 1914, un
less I am very badly mistaken,’’ he
said.
The first cheering news received by
Atlanta when the delegation arrive!
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
doef 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 < it 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. The
fame of the Yaarab Temple has been
perfectly secure in Shrinedom f'rj
many moons, and there isn’t a visit- j
ing Shriner in this Texas metropolis |
who hasn't heard of that great “At- |
ianta 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 Adairs Nobles have under
taken to convince the Shriners of two
things. First, that Atlanta wants lie
Imperial Council to be its guest next
year, sincerely and earnestly, and sec
ond. that Atlanta can and will enter
tain and .take care of the gathering
most handsomely.
"We have convinced tnem that w*
have the hotel accommodations.” said

Famous American Detective Cables
He Will Return Immediately In
Response to Col. Felders Plea For
His Services to Capture Slayer.
William J. Burns, the world-tamed detective, probably will
take charge of the Phagan case.
The man who unearthed the dynamite outrages and brought
the McNamara brothers to justice, will in ali probability come to
Atlanta within the next few days and lend his offorts toward
clearing up the mystery of the death by strangulation of Marv
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 fils way from
Europe, and will arrive on Tuesday
or the following day. Upon his ar
rival ill 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 lias developed. Upon Mr.
Felder's retention by the citizen* 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 wltn a view 10
getting the great detective to come
here.
At that time the eider Burns was n
Europe investigating the disappear
ance of Wilberforce Martin, and upon
being cabled of Mr. Felder's desires
replied that he would return immedi
ately.
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 wizard
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
Newt Lee nearing completion. Solici
tor General Hugh M. Dorsey on Mon
day began the process of elimination
of unimportant matter »nd 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 msss of testi
mony presents a tangle which will re
quire some time before it is straight-
eend out and arranged properly. So
licitor Dorsey declared Monday morn
ing that he wbuid not present the
matter to the Grand Jury until it hss
been put into a clear, concise form
and can be easily handled.
Quick disposition of the cases of
the accused men is assumed once the
matter is piaced before the Grand
Jury. Should that body find the evi
dence sufficient to hold Frank and Lee
to trial, their cases will >>e taken up
immediately before Judge L. S. Roan,
who will open the Criminal Court di
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 'o Mr. Dor
sey.
Sleuth Leaves Mystei iousiy.
Much importance is attached to the
departure of Solicitor Dorsey’s detec
tive Monday morning for parts un
known. While the Solicitor, when
questioned ss to the destination and
purpose of the detective’s Mdp, would
give no direct answer, it is believed
that the mission is in connection with
