250 SHRINER VOTES OUT OF 460 PLEDGED TO ATLANTA
"TAG DAY" SECURES LARGE SUMS FOR UNFORTUNATE CHILDREN
By JAMES B. NEVIN.
DALLAS. TEXAS, May 12.—Atlanta now claims, as pledged,
250 of the 460 votes in the Imperial Council for the 1014 meeting
place. Memphis still is alive and the fight has seemingly narrowed
ilown to the two cities.
If Atlanta should lose tile committee's recommendation the
Georgians will carry the fight to the convention floor.

U. S. to Prosecute
Firms Cutting Pay
As Tariff Revenge
‘They’ll Land Behind Bars if They
Try to Intimidate Congress,’
Says Senator Williams.
WASHINGTON, May 12.—The
criminal clauses of the SI. rman anti
trust act and the prosecuting powers
of the Department of Justice will be
used in defense of the reductions in
duty prescribed by the Underwood
tariff bill.
If combinations are found among
employers t' restrain trade and in
timidate Congress by cutting wage3
and closing factory doors, criminal
suits will be instituted.
This is the frank intimation to-day
of Senator John Sharp Williams. <>f
the Senate Finance Committee.
“The protected interests are coming
to us with the same old plea that
they are threatened with ruin,” sa. .
Senator Williams. “They threaten to
cut wages or assert that it will be
necessary to cut them. This is plain -
ly intended to intimidate Congress If
it should be discovered the interests
are combining to this purpose, the
Slu'-rman anti-trust net is sufficiency
broad to cover such acts, and we m *y

ATLANTA GIVES LIBERALLY
Atlanta capitulated Monday to an irresistible force of the
city’s fairest young women. It was a willing, but costly surren

Each of the thousands of captives, as a token of surrender,
gave up some part of his or her hard-earned money and received
a tag which indicated the money was for the benefit of the Shel

Council Politicians
Makes Hot Reply to New Attack by
Thomson—Breach Contin
ues to Grow.
If I did nothing more than watch
the Council I would more than earn
my salary,” declared Mayor Wood
ward Monday in answer to Albert
Thomsons charge that the Mayor's
office had become a nonenity in the
city government.
“As a matter of fact,” continued
Mr. Woodward, “the charges are not
worth the waste of breath in answer
ing them, still I want to assure the
people of Atlanta that 1 have my
hands full watching the politicians,
and I am going to continue td watch
them and their activities."
Councilman Thomson’s attack on
the Mayor, the second he has made
within a fortnight, has been much
more discussed than his first, because
it follows Council’s vindication of the
officials accused of graft.
Politicians assert that the breach
between the Mayor and a number *»f
the Counciimen is beyond hope of
reunion.
William J. Burns, the world-famed detective, probably will
take charge of tbe Phagan case.
Tbe man who unearthed tbe dynamite outrages and brought
the McNamara brothers to justice, will in all probability come to
Atlanta within tbe next few days and lend his efforts toward
clearing up the mystery of tbe death by strangulation of Mary
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 tbe pencil factory.
Mr Burns Is now on bis way from
Rurope. and will arrive on Tuesda;
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
