dared her belie? ‘n her son’* entire
innocence. She has been greatly af-
foted by the shadow which is hov
ering: over her son’s life, but had said
nothing of his plight to her neighbors
until Monday, as she had been hop
ing against hope that he would be
liberated by the Coroner’s jury.
Mother Thinks He Is Innocent.
My son is entirely innocent," she
is quoted as saying. “But it is a ter
rible thing that even the suspicion
should fall on him 1 have every con
fidence that he will be proved guilt
less of the terrible crime.
“He is suspected merely because he
was the last one who is known to
have seen her op the day she was
killed. I know it will he shown that
be had no knowledge of who put the
girl to death."
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 Kmil Selig.
It is 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 Meier Company, of
Brooklyn. He is a Cornell graduate.
Burns Leaves New York.
The arrival of William J. Burn* 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
w is at once dispatched to England,
where Burns had been looking for J.
Wilberforce 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 Hanford just
smiles when Solicitor Dorsey’s "mys
terious sleuth” is mentioned. Mr.
Dorsey announced several days ago
that he had the best detective in the
world on the Job.
Who is “Mysterious Sleuth?”
'The sleuth Is either Detective
John Starnes or Patrick Campbell,”
said Chief Lanford. "Both of these
ni-it Htt attached t<» the tockl staff
and are working under the solicitor.”
The solic itor 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 case.
Upon his,return 1 may be able to give
out soni startling information.”

on other occasions has refused point

He has maintained an unbroken si

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
Ids 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^ perus. s

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 dickering 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

Wife Embraces Him.
When his wife called for the firs'
time since his confinement Sunday
afternoon, Frank was allowed to re

The meeting between the husband and
wife was affecting.
Tearfully Mrs. Frank clasped he-"
arms about her husband's neck anl
kissed him as they met. Following

Mother Thinks Police
Are Doing Their Best.
Mrs. J. \V. Coleman, mother of 111-
i tie 14-year-old Mary Phagan. pros-
I trated with grief for sixteen days fol-
I 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
j home, and relying on the law to
avenge the death jof her child.
“It was such a beautiful morning.”
1 said Mrs. Coleman to a Georgian re
porter "and I have been able to rest
now for three nights, so 1 felt like
doing my work again. My house has
been in such a turmoil since this
dreadful tragedy. I feel 1 am help-
’ess 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. 1 am hot
complaining about what the officers

slow and be sure that we are doing
right than to hurry and make a mis

the solicitor are doing everything

be punished. But l 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 l
would have been grieved as much as
anybody.
“We hove made many Inquiries
among our friends and acquaintances
and have not found one who saw

she went to the factory tc get her

Irwin Named Potentate,
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
j 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 game**,
sort of fight. The Tennessee city
has a big bunch 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
talk and hard work the Georgia city
has made Memphis hard to locate.
John Hynds, Joe Greenfield and
Claude Hutcheson have been Po-
tentate Adair's right hand men in the
fight 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 rau«e that entertainment fund of
I nearly $100,000 is talked of by every
body. Whenever I buttonhole
Shriner and ask him how about that
Imperial Council meeting next year,
and 1 have done that about 100 times
since I landed here. I never get a
reply that does not make some ref
erence to that great financial stunt
The impression seems to be that o
tow A 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
one hand tied behind her back and a
hobble vkirt draped around her an
kles. Not that Dallas is not a great
little town, either, for it is, but still
i* >s not Atlanta Dallas simply is
bulging with Shriners. It is packed
and jammed and it is acting hand
somely toward the visitors.

fully decorated. Free automobiles

Wilson and Cabinet
Discuss Alien Law;
Johnson Will Sign
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,
but at the conclusion of the confer
ence absolute silence waa 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 not 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 Wils«on’s wishes.
In his farewell message to the Leg
islature Governor Johnson said:
“I would like to have mentioned
the land bill wilh the others that 1
consider worthy accomplishments in
legislation this season, but I refrained
from so doing because it would not
be courteous to siay anything in ad
vance of my reply to Mr. Bryan's
telegram.”
PHOENIX. A BIZ., 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 the
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.

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, Shriner-
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 will be held some time during
Wednesday's session. The big parade,
one of the annual events people come
hundreds of miies to see, occurs to
night, and Dallas has fixed her
streets for the glittering spectacle in
such 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 make Atlanta the
next year’s meeting place, and it is
more than half way suspected that
Memphis will swin^ into line before
the ballot is spread and make it
unanimous for the Gate City of the
South.
“The Shriners want to go to At
lanta and they are going,’’ The Dallas
Times-Herald quotes Forrest Adair
as saying. “Many of them have al
ready visited the Georgia city and
have seen for themselves that we
have the hotels. Every temple knows
that we have the money for the en
tertainment, too. You just can't get
away from the fact that Atlanta
pledged $76,000 in less than one day.
If it will take more than $75,000 the
amount needed will be there. The
Shriners will have everything they
want &nd more than they can ask
when they go to Atlanta.”
Atlantans All Optimistic.
This feeling of optimism is reflected
in every Atlanta visitor in Dallas
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
fooled lot that ever were, and the
betting is 1.000 1o 1 that they have
not been fooled for a minute.
And don’t forget Mrs. Shriner and
the Misses Shriner are here in all
their freshness and loveliness—5,000
or so of them. Believe me. they are
on hand and everybody notices them
and approves of their presence. A
prettier lot of girls I never saw' than
these Tcrias specimens. Southern
beauty is more or less running riot
in Dallas to-day.

Rams Grizzly Bear
To Death With Auto
WALDEN, COLO., May 13—When
a huge grizzly bear rushed at Dr. J.
A. Dungan, of this city, as he was
making a visit in the mountains Sun
day, he saved himself from possib'e
death by throwing a laprobe over the
animal’s head and then ramming it
with his automobile. The bear was
instantly killed.
The doctor was at the end of a road
at the foot of a steep hill and was
about to stop the car to go to a ranch
farther up the valley when the bear
charged him. It got only a mouthful
of laprobe.
The doctor wrapped the rest of th®
robe around the bear’s head, and
while it wrestled with the robe in the
dirt he ran over it.
ML HE IS
Edward Brown, Angry but Small,
Swears Vengeance, Then
Calls Police.
Contest Over Open Hearings In
dicates Strength of Opponents
to Underwood Measure.
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-.vear-old
bride of four months from his home
and gone with her to Macon, Ga., 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 Hi* Siz*.
"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. Brown de
clares that Reeves met Mrs. Browm
and her mother, Mrs. Sally Bryant, at
the station and purchased their tick
ets to Macon, buying one for himself
a-so.
“We were married in Macon four
months ago,” said Brown, “and until
this Reeves appeared on the scene we
were happy. About 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 automobl T e. I told h:m
to keep aw'ay, and be began sneaking
around when I wasn't at home. When
I 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 w r ent downtown on some busi
ness last night, and w’hen I got home
I 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 train 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 I 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.”
Miss Thelma Bigbv, the girl who
accompanied Mrs. Brown to the Ter
minal Station, corroborated Brown’s
i'tory Tuesday morning.
“Reeves met Mrs. Brown at the
corner of Luekie and Harris Streets
late yesterday afternoon, before Mr.
Brown got home,” she said. “They
talked a long time, and then Mrs.
Brown came in and had a talk with
her mother. Then she asked us to
tell her husband \frhen he came home
that she had gone to her old home
with her mother and was not coming
back.
Reeves Didn't Return.
“I went to the station with her,
and Mr. Reeves met them there. He
took their grips and told her not to
worry, 'i'll fix everything so we can
be together in a few' days,’ I heard
him say.
“Mr. Reeves went to the train with
them, telling me he would return in

gress yesterday, was found in a pit
iable condition to-day near an aban
doned race track just outside the city,

WASHINGTON. May 13.—The fate
of the Underw'ood tariff bill in the
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 -clash also tended to show
the real strength of the supporters of
the administration measure.
It is on the sugar and wool sehei-,
ules that the fight will come, and
Democratic leader* 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 Underw'ood 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 Senat >r
to be in his seat. The Republican?
also marshaled their entire strengtn
to fight for open hearings.

probably as a substitute for the Un
derwood bill. He regards many of
the Democratic rates as too low.
