FACE SPLIT
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 protestants?
This is the question which its com-
mivsioners probably will be compelled
to answer while the Assmebly is in
aes.-ion in Atlanta.
T r* is little doubt that the South
ern Assembly will combine with the
! T niied Presbyterian Church, but it
is possible that it will sever its con-
r’^cii >n with the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in America.
The Federal Council includes prai-
tically the combined Protestant forces 1
of the United States, representing .‘10
differenT denominations which have
a communicant membership of 16,-
hoo.oon. 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 Church must stand:
1. For equal rights and com
plete just ice for all men in all
nations 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.
:L For the fullest possible de
velopment for every child, espe
cially by the provision of prop
er education and recreation.
4. For h * 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 ana moral waste
of tlie liquor traffic.
k For the conservation
health.
P. For the protection of
worker from dangerous machin-
"pry. occupational diseases and
mortality.
For Aiding Workers.
10. For t> right* of all men to
the opportunity of self-mainten
ance. 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
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 cf
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. F'or 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 industrv that can ultimately be
devised.

Advertising Agents
Honor Massengale
St. Elmo Massengale, head of the
Massengale Advertising Agency and
one of the best known publicity men
in the country, was to-day elected di
rector at a meeting in Chicago of
general advertising agents from
throughout the country. Plans were
perfected for forming a permanent
organization.
Mr. Massengale probably will make
arrangements to open a branch office
of the Massengale Advertising
Agency in Chicago. This step is made
necessary by the rapid growth of the
agency which handles some of the
largest advertising accounts in the
United States.

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 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 to jam the streets with specta
tors almost to suffocation. There
were about 100 patrols in line. ave%
aging 50 men each; 20 brass bands,
and a civic procession of something
like 150 filled automobiles. Every
patrol was uniformed differently an 1
gorgeously.
Grsat Parade for To-night.
That parade, bigger and better, for
already it ifi 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 ilne un
der the glitter of 100,000 electric
lights.
No patrol in to-day s parade ‘at
tracted more applause and attentijn
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.

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-day that a report was
spread that an entirely new lead was
being followed by Solicitor Dorsey
that might eliminate both Frank and
^ee.
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 cases of the two men
hHd 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, whi
formerly was employed at the pencil
factory.
Miss Willie M Ross. 269 Crew
Street, who is said to have heard
creams 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. Mis*a Ross declared she
had absolutely no knowledge of it.
Solicitor Dorsey, when asked about
the report that Detective Burns was
’oming 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 to
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 be
called the first part of the week.
Mrs. Rudolph Frank, mother of Le*o
Frank, was seen for the first time
at her home in Brooklyn Monday by
the newspaper reporters. Shs de-
