BY JAMES B. NEVIN. DALLAS, TEXAS, May 13.—For rest Adair filed with the Imperial Council to-day official invitations 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 persons in Atlanta. There seems to be nothing left that might have been done to insure At lanta's winning the big prize of the session in Dallas. About the hotels and streets it generally is conceded that Atlanta will win. The parade of the patrol' to-day, escorting the Imperial Council to is opening session, was beautiful and served to jam the streets with specta tors almost to suffocation. There were about 100 patrols in litre, aver aging 50 rrten 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. That parade, bigger and better, for already it is predicted that the at tendance in Atlanta next year Is to be much heavier than it is here, will look mighty attractive along White hall and Peachtree next year. The big parade of the session takes place to night, when it is expected that about 15,000 Shriners will march in line un der the glitter of 100,000 electric tights. No patrol in to-day’s parade at tracted more applause and attention than the Yaarab patrol, under Cap tain J. O. Seamans and Lieutenants Cuts Vandiver and Ashford. Atlanta's fight was given a big boost to-day when Colonel Robert L. Colding, of Savannah, arrived and plunged headlong into the contest to put Atlanta over. He is one of the best known Shriners in America, and has been of vast help to the Atlanta workers. 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 the Gat- 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 customary 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 gamert sort of fight. The Tennessee city has a big hunch of rooters 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 Continued on Page 2, Column 4. Gets Proposal by Phone at Breakfast And Weds by 9 A. M, To arise heartfree, to receive a pro posal before breakfast over the tele phone and to be married by 9 o’clock —that’s what happened to Miss Em ma Wofford, 26 Alaska Avenue, Co- penhill, Tuesday morning. Now she is the bride of Dr. John R. Smith, of Douglas, Ga., and her friends are just learning of her mar riage. Dr. Smith and his bride long had been friends, hut the subject of mat rimony had never come up. When the physician came to Atlanta Mon day on a business trip he called Miss Wofford over the telephone and after a few minutes’ conversation, asked her if she would marry him. Mrs. Smith formerly was an em ployee in the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company’s Atlanta office. Bandit Pair Fails in Attempt to Hold Up Busch's Private Car KANSAS CITY, MO., May 13.—Two armed men swung onto the railing of the observation end of the private car of Adolphus Busch, wealthy brewer of St. Louis, early to-day and attempted to board the car. They were thrown off by the speed of the train, which did not slow down as much as they expected for a railway crossing. The millionaire brewer and his phy sician were asleep in the car. The attempted robbery was reported here. The men attempted to board th? train a few feet from the spot from where a Kansas City Southern train was held up a few days ago and Jesse J. Short, a millionaire mine owner, of Joplin, Mo., was seriously wounded. “Mutt" Sues “Jeff" for $1,000 Damages SHEBOYGAN, WIS., May 13—A “Mutt and Jeff’’ case was on trial in the Circuit Court to-day, “Mutt” su ing “Jeff” for $1,000 damages for whipping him, breaking three ribs, smashing his false teeth and causing other damage. “Mutt,” otherwise Fred Daetz, and “Jeff.” better known as John Goelzer, were working in a gravel pit near Plymouth. Discussion over a keg of beer led to a row and it appears that Goelzer. who is much the smal ler of the two men, put Daetz out of the game. Daetz is six feet two inches tall, weighs 195 pounds. Goelzer is five feet, four inches in height, weighs 115 pounds. Burleson Confronted by $600,000 Deficit WASHINGTON, May 13.—Post master General Burleson is confront ed with an actual deficit in postal funds that will cause serious cur tailment of the postal service unless Congress passes ai. appropriation of $600,000 by May 15. The House passed an appropriation hill carrying $600,000 to supply the impending deficit. The Senate must luickly act on the measure if it is to become law by May 15. The deficit has been brought about by unforeseen consequences resulting from the eight-hour law for postal employees, passed at the last session of Con gress, and the parcel post. Flies Over Alps, and Lives to Tell Story Special Cable to The American. BERNE, SWITZERLAND, May 13. Aviator Rider, using a monoplane flew over the Alps to-day. It took two hours to fly 50 miles.

He attained a height >f 10,560 feet, and was so cold when le dscended he had to be lifted from his machine. Chavez, a Peruvian aviator, the first to fly over the Alps, fell at the co i- ?lusion of his flight and succumbed lo his injuries. THE WEATHER. Forecast for Atlanta and !

Will the Southern Presbyterian As- sembly organically unite with one Presbyterian denomination and cut off fraternal relationships with all other protestants? This is the question which its com missioners 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 Presbyterian 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 forces 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 platform of the Council to which exception has been taken: The phurch must stand: 1. For equal rights and com plete justice for all men in all stations of life. 2. For the protection of the family, 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 machin ery, occupational diseases and mortality. For Aiding Workers. 10. For the right of all men to the opportunity of self-mainten ance, for safeguarding this rigjrt 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 jury. 12. For the right of employees and employers alike to organize 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. 16. For a new emphasis upon the application of Christian prin ciples 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 teen I Continued on Page 3, Column 5.

Wilson and Cabinet Discuss Alien Law; Johnson Will Sign C* OLICITOR DORSEY in his office; a snapshot of the Pha- A gan case prosecutor taken by a Georgian photographer. WASHINGTON, May 13.—The Jap- anese situation was discussed for the greater part of two hours at the meet ing of the President with his Cabinet, hut at the conclusion of the confer ence absolute silence was maintained regarding the subject. SACRAMENTO, May 13.—A reply by Governor Johnson to the message of Secretary of State Bryan, advis ing against hasty action in the Cali fornia anti-alien law legislation was expected to-day. The Governor an nounced that he would no,t discuss the subject until he had replied to Secretary Bryan, which likely would be to-day. He intimated that he would sign the Webb anti-alien land bill, but that he would delay action out of re spect to President Wilson’s \>ishes. In his farewell message to the Leg islature Governor Johnson said: “I would like to have mentioned the land bill with the others that I consider worthy accomplishments in legislation this season, but I refrained from so doing because it would not be courteous to my anything in ad vance of my reply to Mr. Bryan’s telegram ” PHOENIX.

Father George, alias Thomas Kirby, alias Brother James, alias the Rev. Brother James Brady, was indicted by' the Federal Grand Jury Tuesday on a charge of using the mails to defraud.

Florida, and that the funds were to he used in the erection of a home for students. Kirby was arrested in South Caro lina. Studying Phagan Evidence. 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 oil 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 and Lee. Solicitor Dorsey paid very little at tention to the reports. “There arc no developments so far.” he said, “which would tend to swerve the prosecution from its '.present course. The cases of the two men held will be 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 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 by Solicitor Dorsey. Another affidavit considered of im portance was that made, by Miss Mag- git Wyatt, 44 Pickett Street, .wh<t formerly was employed at the pencil factory. Miss Willie 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. Miss Ross declared she had absolutely no knowledge of it. Solicitor Dorsey, when asked about the report that Detective Bums 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 hold an extra session this week to “clean up” the routine docket in order that there will be nothing to interfere with the Phagan case when it is presented by Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey. Consider Extra Session. The Solicitor and his assistant, E. A. Stephens, discussed Monday the advisability of an extra session for one day before Friday, the’ regular meeting day’, and may issue a call ta the jurors to assemble Wednesday. The Solicitor explained, however, that it probably would take the two sessions this week to dispose of the routine, and the Phagan case might not reach the jury until Friday’ of next week, or an extra session to bo called the first part of the week. Mrs. Rudolph Frank, mother of Leo Frank, was seen for the first time at hejc home in Brooklyn Monday by the newspaper reporters. She de-,
