IS OFFEREU
Objection to National Protestant
Platform May Act as Bar to
.
Presbyterian Merger.
By REV. CHARLES STELZLE.
Will the Southern Presbyterian As
sembly organically unite with one.
Presbyterian denomination and cut
off fraternal relationships with all
other protestanta?
This Is the question which its com-
mis»sloners probably will be compelled
to answer while the Assmebly is In
session in Atlanta.
There is little doubt that the South
ern Assembly will combine with the
United Presbvterlan Church, but it
Is possible that it will sever Its con
nection with the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America.
The Federal Council includes prac
tically the combined Protestant force?
of the United States, representing 30
different denominations which have
a communicant membership of 16,-
000,000. One of the chief reasons
given by those who favor the separ
ation is their objection to the social
service platform adopted by the Fed
eral Council.
Platform of Council
Here Is the pialifortri bf^the Council
to which exception has been taken:
The Church must stand:
1 For equal rights and com
plete justice for all men In all
stations of life.
2. For the protection of the
fatnily, by the single standard of
purity, uniform divorce laws,
proper regulation of marriage
and proper housing.
3. For the fullest possible de
velopment for every child, espe
cially by the provision of prop
er education and recreation.
4. For the abolition of child
labor.
5. For Such regulations of the
conditions of toil for women as
shall safeguard the physical and
moral health of the community.
6. For the abatement and pre
vention of poverty.
7 For the protection of the In
dividual and society from the
social, economic and moral waste
of the liquor traffic.
8 For the conservation of
health.
9. For the protection of the
worker from dangerous rnachin
ery, occupational diseases and
mortality.
For Aiding Workers.
10. For the right of all men to
the opportunity of self-mainten
a nee, for safeguarding this right
against encroachment of every
kind, and for the protection of
workers from the hardships of
enforced unemployment.
11. For suitable provision for
the old age of the workers, and
for those incapacitated by in-
1urv.
12. For the right of employees
and employers alike to organise
for adequate means of conciliation
and arbitration in industrial dis
putes.
13 For a release from employ
ment one day in seVen.
14. For the gradual and rea
sonable reduction of the hours of
labor to the lowest practicable
point, and for that degree of lei
sure for all, which is a condition
of the highest human life
15. For a living wage as a
minimum in every industry, and
for the highest wage that each
industry can afford.
15. For a new emphasis upon
the application of Christian prin
ciple? to the acquisition and use
of property, and for the most
equitable division of the product
of industry that can ultimately be
devised.
This platform has in substance been

Detectives Not Centering All
Their Efforts on Frank and
Lee Now.
Detectives In the Phagan mystery
are not centering all their efforts upon
Frank and Lee. New' theories have
been advanced, new clews examined
and every possible theory is being In
vestigated.
It was because of these rumors on
the streets to-dav that a report was
spread that an entirely new lead was
being followed by Solicitor Dorsey
that might eliminate both Frank and
Lee.
Solicitor Dorsey paid very little at
tention to the reports.
"There are no developments so.far,”
he said, “which would tend to swerve
the proaecution from its present
course. The cases of the two men
held will be placed before the Grand
Jurj' as soon as the evidence against
them can be properly shaped, unless
other developments justify a change."
New Theory Investigated.
The new theory alluded to has been
submitted by a private detective
employed by the Solicitor's office.
The man, whose Identity haa not
been revealed. has been working
along lines entirely at variance to
those pursued by the prosecutor Mr.
Dorsey stated that while as yet no
evidence had been produced to sub
stantiate the proposed solution, that
his investigators have taken the mat
ter up and will go to the bottom of
it. Every available means will be
used to prove or disprove the detec
tive’s theory
An important affidavit was added
Tuesday to the great mass of evi
dence already collected bv Solicitor
Dorsey.
Another affidavit considered of im
portance was that made by Miw Mag-
git Wyatt. 44 Pickett Street, who
formerly was employed at the pencil
factory.
Miss *WilHe M Ross. 259 Crew
Street; who is said to have heard
screams in the pencil factory at 4:30
on the afternoon of the tragedy, ap
peared at Mr. Dorsey’s office in the
morning and made an exhaustive
statement which she signed.
Dorsey Will Welcome Burns
When asked later what she knew
of the case, Mies Ross declared she
had absolutely no knowledge of it.
Solicitor Dorsey, when asked about
the report that Detective Burns was
coming to Atlanta to take charge of
the Investigation, declared that he
would welcome Mr. Burns.
Colonel Felder, whose correspond
ence with the great detective gave
rise to the report that he would enter
the Investigation, stated Tuesday
morning that he would know posi
tively by Wednesday whether Burns
would comply with his request. Mr.
Burns is due to arrive in New York
from Europe some time Tuesday.
The Grand Jury probably will h.»l i
an extra session this week to “clean
up” the routine docket in order that
there will be nothing fo interfere with
the Phagan case when it is presented
by Solicitor Genera! Hugh M. Dorsey.
Consider Extra Session.
The Solicitor and his assistant. E.
A. Stephens, discussed Monday me
advisability of an extra session for
one day before Friday, the regular
meeting day. and may isaue a call iti
the jurors to assemble Wednesday.
The Solicitor explained, however,
that it probably would take the two
sessions this svee; to dispose of ton
routine, and the Phagan case might
not reach the jury until Friday of
next week, or an extra session to be
called the first part of the week.
Mrs. Rudolph Frank, mother of Leo
Frank, was seen for the first time
at her home in Brooklyn Monday by
the newspaper reporters. She de-

that Atlanta will win.
The parade of the patrols to-day.
escorting the Imperial Council to r»
opening session, was beautlfu! and
served to Jam the streets with specta
tors almost to suffocation. There
were about 100 patrols in line, aver
aging 50 men each; 20 brass bands,
and a civic procession of something
like 150 filled automobiles. Every
patrol was uniformed differently and
gorgeously.
Great Parade for To-night.
Thai parade, bigger and better, for
already It Is predicted that the at
tendance in Atlanta next year ia to
be much heavier than It Is here, will
look mighty attractive along White
hall and Peachtree next year. The big
paraae of the session takes place to
night. when It Is expected that about
15,000 Shriner* will march in line un
der the glitter of 100,000 electric
lights.
No patrol in to-day's parade at
tracted more applause and attention
than the Yaarab patrol, under Cap
tain J O. Seamans and Dieutenanc*
Cuts Vandiver and Ashford.
Atlanta's fight was given a big
boost to-day when Cdlonel Robert I*,
folding, of Savannah, arrived and
plunged headlong into the contest to
put Atlanta over. He is on» of the
best known Shriners In America, and
has bean of vast help to the Atlanta
w orkers.
Fred Houser of Atlanta, has the
publicity end of the Atlanta campaign
in hand and has handled it splendid
ly. The Dallas papers are full of At
lanta and Its enterprise to-day. They
all pick ihe Ga'e City for a winner In
to-morrow’s balloting.
Irwin Named Potentate.
At the Texas session, the only thing
done of Interest to the public was the
election of William W. Irwin, of
Wheeling. W. Va., to be imperial po
tentate next year. He will preside in
Atlanta and he told me to-day that
the fact was particularly gratifying
to him.
He has been outspoken in his sup
port of Atlanta for the honor of en
tertaining the Shrine In 1914. He and
Forrest Adair are great cronies, and
have been at many sessions of the
Imperial Council. The other Impe
rial Council members were advanced
In rotation, as Is custo viary in the
order.
There was a mighty careful check
ing up of names and counting of
noses along somewhere after midnight
last night. The Yaarab workers did
not quit talking Atlanta until the
rest of creation out here had gone
to bed. Along about daylight Forrest
Adair figured that Atlanta had it on
Memphis by about two to one Maybe
It is more than that, but two to one
looks good enough anyway.
Memphis is putting up the gamem
sort of fight. The Tennessee olty
has a big bunch of rooter* here and
the tovYn has been flooded with lit
erature. However, Atlanta has been
right there with the literature, and
In the matter of pure unadulterated
talk and hard work the Georgia city
has made Memphis hard to locate.
