South Backs Gate City in Fight
for 1914 Council—Decision
To-morrow.
Continued From Page 1.
Claude Hutcheson have been Po
tentate Adair's right hand men in the
tight for Atlanta, and when the cred
it is slid up and passed around, like
wise the glory, they will come in for
a large share of both, along with Mr.
Adair.
Mr. Adair expressed himself to me
to-day as particularly gratified with
the help extended the Atlanta move
ment by the Hearst newspapers.
I hear from-Mr. Hearst's personal
appeals and his newspapers’ work
for next year’s big meeting at all
turns. His publications, especially
in the West, have helped tremendous
ly in bringing support to Atlanta. If
Atlanta wins, as I expect, we will
owe much to Mr. Hearst.”
In the hotel lobbies one sees At
lanta newspapers everywhere One
hears Atlanta talk everywhere The
great 12 hours' hustle Atlanta made
to rai*«e that entertainment fund of
nearly $100 000 Is talked of by every
body. Whenever I buttonhole a
Shriner and ask him how about that
Imperial Council meeting next year,
and I have done that about 100 times
since 1 landed here, I never get a
reply that dors not make some ref
erence to that great financial Htuni
The impression seems to be that a
town capable of doing that is cap
able of doing anything, no matter
how big
•’Don't Worry. Atlanta.”
In the matter of taking care of the
imperial Council next year, I should
say to Atlanta, "Don’t worry.” What
ever this town of Dallas can do foot
loose and free. Atlanta can do with
•me hind tied behind her back and a
hobble skirt draped around her nn-
kl*-s. Not that Dallas is not a great
little town, either, for it is. but still
it is not Atlanta Dallas simply is
bulging with Shriners. it is packed
nd jammed and It is acting hand
somely toward the visitors.
Th* city is profusely and beauti
ful!,' decorated Free automobiles
stand around and invite fez wearers
to get in and ride to their hearts’
content, which many of them do. The
hote s and boarding houses are play
ing fair, and there is no gouging.
For iis size, Dallas is a wonden It,
however. Is only about one-half the
size of Atlanta If Dallas can enter
tain -'a,000 visitors—and it is enter
taining approximately that many to
day—dhen Atlanta can handle 50.000
and never mind it or find It the least
uncomfortable.
Somehow, too. the Dallas newspa
pers 9«em to fet-l and hope that At
lanta will win out in its fight, and the
news they*print carries a pro-Atlanta
color.
The Imperial Council is holding its
first session to-day. Yesterday was
given over to handshaking. Shrlner-
esque kidding, merrymaking and get
ting things under way All one hears
as one walks along the streets of
Dallas to-day is "Morning Silas.”
That’s the greeting, and everybody
hands it to you, whether he ever saw
you before or not. It’s the same
friendly, happy, good-natured greet
ing that the Elks' "Hello, Bill" is.
The voting on next year's meeting
place wilt be held some time during
Wednesday's ses 5 ion. The big parade,
one of the annual events people come
hundreds of miles to see. occurs to
night. and Dallas has fixed hei
st reels for the glittering spectacle in
Mjch wise that they will be as bright
as day when the parade is passing.
To-day’s session of the Imperial
Council began at 9 o'clock, but its
proceedings were secret in the main.
To-morrow’s session will be the one
to tell the big story
East Aids Gate City.
One most gratifying thing about
Atlanta's big fight for the Imperial
Council next year is the way Shriners
from all over the East and South
east are rallying to her support. There
is not a member of the imperial or
ganization from a State that touches
Georgia, except Tennessee, that is not
for Atlanta. Whatever little jeal
ousies there may be or may have
been between Atlanta and other cities
of the South, they are all for Atlanta
in the movement to mattte Atlanta the
next year's meeting place, and it is

Report that .1. Wylie Smith, for

is being held at El Paso, Tex., for re
turn to this city to answer forgery
charges, reached here to-day.
A dispatch from Austin, Tex., tell

quitt already had honored a requisi
tion for the extradition of Smith and
that T. H. Hamilton, the agent of the
Fulton County, Georgia, authorities,
was en route to El Paso to take
charge of the prisoner.
Smith departed suddenly from At
lanta two years ago, leaving the af
fairs of the Commercial company In a
chaotic condition. It is alleged that
he secured large sums of money from
clients of the organization.
Reports of his capture were denied
in El Paso.

of 10,560 feet, and was so cold when
he dscended he had to be lifted from

Atlantans All Optimistic.
This feeling of optimism is reflected
' m every Atlanta visitor in Dallas
I to-day. The magnificent campaign
the Gate City has made for next
year's meeting is destined to win out.
or Adair and his men are the worst

And don’t forget Mrs. Shriner and

or so of them. Believe me. they are
on hand and everybody notices them
and approves of their presence. A

Mrs. Frank has not seen her son
since nearly three years ago when
she and her husband came to Atlanta
to attend the marriage of young
Frank to the daughter of Emil Selig.
It ts understood that she is planning
to return to Atlanta to be with Frank
in the event that he is indicted by the
Grand Jury.
She always has been proud of her
son and happy at his rapid rise in the
business world. Although only 29
years old he has been the superin
tendent in charge of the National
Pencil Company’s plant for several
years. Before coming to Atlanta
about five years ago he was with
the National Meter Company, of
Brooklyn. He is a Cornell graduate.
Burns Leaves New York.
The arrival of William J. Burns is
expected in New York Tuesday aft
ernoon. As announced in The Geor
gian Monday the great detective has
been engaged to work personally upon
the Phagan mystery. He is expected
to come here at the solicitation of
Colonel Thomas B. Felder, who is
representing the friends and relatives
of the slain girl
Colonel Felder interviewed Ray-
.mond Burns, son of the famous de
tective. in New York, and a cable
was at once dispatched to England,
where Burns had been looking for J.
Wilber force Martin. the wealthy
Memphian whose mysterious disap
pearance stirred two continents.
Burns quickly found that Martin was
safe and unharmed and withdrew
from the case. The detective will be
in Atlanta Thursday on his way to
Macon, where he has been invited to
speak before the Georgia State Bank
ers’ Association.
Chief of Detectives Lanford jus*
smiles when Solicitor Dorsey's "mys
terious sleuth” is mentioned. Mr.
Dorsey announced several days ago
that he had the best detective in toe
world on the Job.
Who Is "Mysterious Sleuth?”
"The sleuth is either Detective
John Starnes or Patrick Campbell."
said fhief Lanford. "Both of these
men are attached to the local <taff
and are working under the solicitor."
The solicitor continued to deny that
the man was a local detective.
"I intend to withhold his name until
the proper time," he said. "He is out
of the city at present working on sev
eral new phases of the Phagan Ck.se.
Upon his return I may be able to give
out some startling inform i ion."
Frank’s Life in Tower;
Scores Try to See Him.
Of the many prisoners confined in
the Tower. Leo M. Frank stands far
above them all as the central figure
in the public eye while the exhaus
tive investigation into the death of
Mary Phagan continues.
Hundreds of curious persons apply
daily at the prison in a futile effort
to see the man now being held in the
Phagan mystery. The jailers are be
set with thousands of questions per
taining to his life during the two
weeks that he has spent behind the
bars.
Only Frank’s attorney, his imme
diate relatives and a few friends have
been permitted to see him. The man
on other occasions has refused point
blank to be interviewed or questioned.
He dias maintained an unbroken si
lence on the accusations made against
him by the State.
Cheerful With Friends.
To his friends, however, Frank pre
sents an amazingly bright counte
nance. Frequently his laughter is
heard ringing through the dismal cor
ridors of the Tower Despite his
cheery disposition, however, he has
grown pale under his confinement.
Frank occupies cell No. 2 In the
South corridor of the jail. The fol
lowing is the routine of his daily-
life:
Arises at 7 o’clock each morning;
shaves with a safety razor brought
him by a jailer and dresses for break
fast. Morning meal is brought to
him at 7; 30 and he partakes of it
from a, low bench in lieu of a table.
Frank's meals are all prepared at
his home and sent to the Tower. He
is permitted to have any food that
he may desire. So far. the prison
life has not affected his appetite,
which is one of a healthy man.
Reads Papers Carefully.
After breakfast Frank is handed
the morning papers, which h? peruses
carefully, especially with r^rerence to
his own case. Despite what the print
ed pages may contain about him,
though, the prisoner has never been
known to comment on the newspaper
articles.
Frank Is a great reader. As the
single electric lamp in the corridor
does not furnish sufficient light* to
read by in the cells adjacent, the
prisoner has secured a candle and un
der its flickering flame reads maga
zines and other periodicals.
Friends of the prisoner begin to ar
rive about 9 o’clock. He converses
with them through the bars. At 2
o’clock he is served with dinner. Dur
ing the afternoon Frank receives more
of his friends and whiles away the
idle hours in reading.
Wife Embraces Him.
When his wife called for the first
time since his confinement Sunday
afternoon. Frank was allowed to re
ceive her in the "consultation room.
The meeting between :he husband and
wife was affecting.
Tearfully Mrs. Frank clasped he •
arms about her husband's neck and
kissed him ns they met. Following
the visit, which was of an hours
duration. Frank was returned to his
cell.
The prisoner is served v.ith supper
at 6:3ft o'clock and retires at about
11 o'clock. He sleeps on a regulation
prison cot.
Mother Thinks Police
Are Doing Their Best.
Mrs. J. \V. Coleman, mother of lit
tle 14-year-old Mary Phagan. pros
trated with grief for sixteen days fol
lowing the tragic slaying of her child,
took up her household duties Tues
day for the first time, resigned to
the calamity that has befallen her
home, and relying on the law to
avenge the death of her child.
"It was such a beautiful morning,"
said Mrs. Coleman to a Georgian re
porter, "and I have been able to rest
now for three nights, so I felt like
doing my work again. My house has
been in such a turmoil since this
dreadful tragedy. I feel I am help
less and have resigned myself to the
sad lot that has befallen us. All we
can do is wait, and waiting is a
hard task.
No Complaint of Police.
"Don't misunderstand me. I am noti
complaining about what the officers
are doing It is far better to go
slow and be sure that' we are doing
right than to hurry and make a mis
take. I believe that the police and
the solicitor are doing everything
they can to find the guilty man. They
ought to do it; such a crime ought to
be punished. But I do not want them
to make a mistake.
"I heard that feeling was very
strong last week, but I am glad that
no hasty action was taken. It might
have been all wrong, and I think 1
would have been grieved as much as
anybody.
"We have made many inquiries
among our friends and acquaintances
and have not found one who saw
Mary after 12 o'clock Saturday, when
she went to the factory tc get her
pay. So much seems to depend on
that point, and if anyone did see her.
he certainly ought to tell about it. It
does look like if Mary were on the
streets Saturday afternoon, as many
friends a.s we have, some of them
would have seen her. We do not be
lieve she ever left the factory.
Has Read No Reports.
Mrs. Coleman, since her nervous
collapse, has not been allowed to read
the newspapers, her husband realiz
ing the seriousness of her condition
Since last Wednesday she has had
absolute quiet, and Tuesday she re
sumed her duties with the hope, as
she expressed it. "to make home like
it used to be. if possible." She de
clared that only the strength and
Vigor that has always been hers en
abled her to withstand the blow that
had befallen her.
"Mary and I were very much alike."
she said, "strong and healthy. Mary
would have been 14 years old on June
1, but she was very large-and ro
bust for her age. She ouen passed
for 16. Her birthday is nearly here,
but it will be so different this year.”

"I would like to have mentioned

consider worthy accomplishments in
legislation this season, but I refrained
from so doing because it would not
be courteous to say anything in ad
vance of my reply to Mr. Bryan’s
telegram."
PHOENIX. ARIZ., May 13.—A slight
amendment by the Senate to the
House anti-alien land bill makes it
necessary for the measure to be
passed on by a conference between
the two houses before it is sent to
the Governor. It was predicted tile
conference would agree on the bill
this afternoon. The Governor’s atti
tude is not known, although his
closest friends say he will sign it. '
Four hundred Japanese residents of
the State will appeal to the Governor
to veto the bill.'
WASHINGTON. May 13—The Jap

greater part of two hours at the meet

regarding the subject.

FURS TO PUNISH
An angry husband waited for three
hours at the Terminal Station Tues
day morning determined to wreak
vengeance upon the man who, he
said, had enticed his 17-year-old
bride of four months from his home
arid gone wdth her to Macon, Ga. t her
former home. Then he notified the
police and now- awaits developments.
The husband is Edward M. Brown,
of 20 Hayden Street. He appeared at
the. station at 7:50 o’clock, when a
train is due into Atlanta from Macon,
but the man he claimed he was after,
J. G. Reeves, a real estate operator,
did not appear. Brown waited.
About 10 o’clock Reeves strode into
the station from the train platforms.
Brown started toward Reeves and
stopped before he reached him. Brown
is a little man. and he surveyed the
well-built real estate man dubiously.
Then.he returned to his seat.
Daunted by His Size.
"He’s pretty big, " he said. "I won’t
whip him; I’ll have him arrested."
Brown asserts that Reeves has
showered attentions upon his wife,
Mrs. Amelia Brown, for the past three
weeks, and yesterday afternoon, he
claims, he induced her to leave her
husband and go to Macon. Brow'n de
clares that Reeves met Mrs. Brown
and her mother, Mrs. Sally Bryant, at
the station and purchased their tick
ets to Macon, buying one for himself
also.
"We w’ere married In Macon four
months ago." said Brown, "and until
this Reeves appeared on the scene we
were happy. Aboilt three weeks ago
I decided to buy a lot and this man
was sent to sell it to me. He came
out to the house to see me about it,
and after that he kept coming. I hur
ried the purchase of the lot and told
my wife to keep away from Reeves.
Threatened To Go Home.
"Even after I had bought the lot he
kept coming around and taking my
wife out in an automobile. I told him
to keep away, and he began '■neaking
around when I wasn't at home. When
l came home yesterday afternoon my
wife said she was going home with
her mother, and said that if 1
wouldn’t give her any money she had
a friend who would.
“I went downtown on some busi
ness last night, and when I got home
1 was told that my wife had gone. A
girl who lives in the house said she
had gone to the station with my wife
and her mother, and that Reeves had
met them there. Reeves took my
wife’s grips, the girl told me. and
went to the tram with them.
She said she saw him get on the
train, and he didn’t get off. I hur
ried to the station to stop them,
but the train had gone. Then l went
to the police station, and they told me
to get a gun and shoot Reeves.
Claims Former Marriage.
"I'm going to have Reeves and my
wife arrested, and I'm going to get
a divorce I learned yesterday I'm
not the only husband she has. She
told me when we were married she
had been mariied before, but said
her other husband was dead. I found
out he is not dead.”

Senate was in the balance to-day
while the Republicans and Democrats
debated on the Penrose motion to in
struct the Senate Finance Committee
to hold open hearings on the meas
ure. The dash also tended to shjw
the real strength of the supporters of
the administration measure.
It is on the sugar and wool schel
ules that the fight will come, and
Democratic leaders anxiously watched
the debate to see how far the defec
tion started by Senators Ransdell and
Thornton of Louisiana had influ
enced Senators from the sugar and
wool-producing States.
It already had been agreed to refer
the Underwood bill to the Finance
Committee without public hearings
when that measure was brought from
the House Friday. Senator Simmons,
chraiman of the committee, made a
motion to this effect, followed imme
diately by a motion by Senator Pen
rose for public hearings.
So critical was the situation raised
by the Penrose motion that a call was
issued for every Democratic Senatjr
to be in his seat. The Republicans
also marshaled their entire strength
to fight for open hearings.
LaFollette to Draft
A New Tariff Measure.
WASHINGTON, May 13.—Senator
LaFollette will not confine his tarilT-
making efforts to the wool and cot
ton schedules. He intends to draft
practically a complete bill. This
measure will be offered in the Senate,
probably as a substitute for the Un
derwood bill. He regards many of
the Democratic rates as too low.

VICE DISTRICT IN MACON
MACON, GA., May 13.—The Grand
Jurv is this week investigating th«
restricted district, as the result of a
complaint made by Dr. W. N. Ains
worth, former president of Wesleyan

ship, and this fact aroused the ire of
the white clergyman, who appealed to
the Grand Jury for assistance.
