Will the Southern Presbyterian As
sembly organically unite with one
Presbyterian denomination and cut
off fraternal relationships with all
other protestanla?
This is the question which its corn-
miraioners 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 PresL v ’terian Uljurch, 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 prat -
tlcally the combined Protestant forces

different denominations which have

The House passed an appropriation

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-day that a report was
spread that an entirely new lead was
being followed by Solicitor Dorsey
that might eliminate both Frank ano
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 prosecution from its present
course. The rases of tiie two men
held wilf^Ve'placed before the Grand
Jury 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 has 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 w’ill 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 by Solicitor
Dorsey.
Another affidavit considered of im
portance was that made by Mi hi Mag-
glt Wyatt, 44 Picket l Street, who
formerly w-as employed at the pencil
factory.
Miss Willie M Rosa, 259 Grew
Street, who is said tq 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, Mine Ross declared she
had absolutely no knowledge of it.
Solicitor Dorsey, when naked about
the report that Detective Burnfi 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
j from Europe some time Tuesday.
The Grand Jury probably will hold
I an extra session this week to “clean
! up” the routine docket in order that
; there will be nothing to interfere with
i the Phagan cane when it is presented
j by Solicitor Genera’. Hugh M. Dorsey.
Consider Extra Session,
j 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 Issue a call to
the jurors to assemble Wednesday.
The Solicitor explained, however.,
that it probably would take the two
sessions this wet a to dispose of the
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.

rest Adair filed with the Imperial

from Atlanta for next year's session
from Governor Brown, Governor-elect
Slaton. Mayor Woodward, the Capital
City. Transportation University and
Piedmont Driving Clubs and many
other social and business organiza
tions and person? in Atlanta.
There seems to be nothing left that

lanta's winning the big prize of the
session in Dallas. About the hotel*
and streets it generally is conceded
that Atlanta will win.
The parade of the patrols to-day,
escorting the Imperial Council to ts
opening session, was beautiful and
served fmtartn ifrtrwiTt&tw with apecta-
tors almost to suffocation. There
were about 100 patrols in line, aver
aging 60 men each; 20 braa* bands,
and a civic procession of something
like 150 tilled automobile*. Every
patrol wa» uniformed differently and
gorgeously.
Qraat Parade for To-night.
That parade, bigger end better, for
already It i* predicted that the at
tendance In Atlanta next year la to
be much heavier than it Is here, will
look mighty attractive along Wblte-
ha. and Peachtree next year. The big
parade of the session take* place to
night, when It is expected that about
15,000 Shrlnera will march In line un
der the glitter of 100,000 eleetrto
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 Lieutenant*
Cuts Vandiver and Ashford.
Atlanta's tight was given a big
bpoat to-day when Colonel Robert 1.
folding, of Savannah, arrived and
plunged headlong into the contest lo
put Atlanta over. Ha Is on* of the
best known Shriner* In America, and
has been of vast hetp to th* Atlanta
workers.
FYed Houaer. 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 the Ga>e City for a winner In
to-morrow's balloting.
Irwin Named Potentate.
At th* 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 custoiary in the
order.
There was a mighty careful check
ing up of names and counting of
pores along aomew’here after midnight
last night. The Yaarah 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
jt is more than that, but two to one
looks good enough anyway.
Memphis is putting up the gament
sort of fight The Tennessee city
has a big bunch of rooter* here and
the town 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 th* Georgia city
has made Memphis hard to locate.
