THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. WEDNESDAY. MAY 11. 1913.
Dallas lint i<> Allanta ami everybody is complimenting the Crack,
cl's on all sides.
Huffao s Temple never asked for next year's meeting; did not
want it. and was practically without its knowledge. It was realized
that Yaarab had won the light, and it was hoped by those hostile
to the (late City to combine Buffalo and tile already defeated
Memphis to Atlanta's undoing.
Mow it all failed, and how Adair’s magnificent standing in the
Shrine carried the floor fight by storm all go to make one of the
most interesting chapters in Shrine history.
It as 2:110 p. m. when the result was known.
The imperial potentate's hostility to Atlanta is hard to ex
plain, but, as i is no one is trying to explain it particularly. There
will be no bitterness deeloped by the fight.
To-day’s sudden turn against Atlanta is attributed to the in
explicable hostility of the imperial potentate to Atlanta. For
some reason last night he turned against Atlanta, and although it
was plain that Memphis could nol win it was quietly determined
to enter Buffalo as the dark horse. Much to the consternation of
the delegates to-day the committee reported in favor of Buffalo,
but Forrest Adair at once protested, went on the floor and amid
a roar of apprvoal moved that the committee report be over-ridden,
as it was by the vote indicated.

tion. The cheers which will arise in
plaudit of their triumph will rend the
air and the enthusiasm will be given
Impetus, if such is possible, by the
patriotic music to emlnate from half
a dozen bands.
Already the preparations have met
with the unanimous and hearty sup
port of Atlanta merchants and busi
ness men. The men who in the short
Interval of -4 hours raised more than
$76,000 to win from Memphis the next
ShrimoV convention, will do as much
more, if necessary, compliment to the
fighters who carried the city’s ban
ner io victory at Dallas.
And Everybody’s Happy.
The prospect of the coming of the
vast throng of Shriners next year has
caused great jubilation everywhere.
Judging from the tremendous sue*
cess of tin conclave at Dallas, thq
probability is that there will be more
than 00,000 who will attend the At
lanta meeting. In Dallas there are
50.000 visitor*. 15.000 of that number
being Shriners. Owing to this city’s
accessibility, It Is expected that fully
10.000 mon will be attracted here.
Atlanta’s hotels will easily accommo
date the thousands of those who will
come for that occasion.
"The Shriners’ convention undoubt
edly will he the largest ever held In
Atlanta,” declared Henry Davis, oash-
i< r of the Lowry National Rank,
Wednesday afternoon, when he heard
of the victory. “It will be a groat
thing for the city to have the honor
of entertaining these splendid men.
It will help Atlanta in many ways.
Yaarab Shrine’s action bears out the
Atlanta tradition of getting every
thing we go after. I feel sure that
the bankers will co-operate in every
way to make their home-coming a
gala occasion.”
Colonel Peel Delegated.
rolonel W. L. Peel, president of
ihe American National Rank, con
curred fully with Mr. Davis.
1 am dc’ighted to hear that the
Shriners will come to Atlanta next
year,” said Colonel Peel ”1 am sure
that they will he pleased with At
lanta and will have a good time. The
entire city will throw Itself open to
their entertainment and when they
leave ♦ very Shriner among them will
carry naught but good wishes for us.
It will he a great event.”
Governor-elect John M. Slaton de
clared that lie could not express too
much enthusiasm for the coming of
the Shriners.
"It will be the first time that this

J. K. Ottley, vice president of the

“It was a wonderful achievement

hearty thanks of every Shrlner who
I visits us next year. The manner
our winning is characteristic of the
spirit and progressiveness of Atlanta.
And we will follow it up with such
hospitality such as has never been
given the Shriners before, and never
will be given to them again, unless
they return here.”
Mayor Is Not Surorised.
Ma yor YVood wa rd said:
I am delighted, but not surprised,
at the success. Atlanta generally
gets what she goes after, and I felt
>*iire that it would be the same in
this instance. It will afford me the
greatest pleasure to turn the city over
to the Shriners. I am sure that the
welcome which will be accorded them
by Atlanta's citizens will be one of
the warmest they have ever received.
They will wish they had found this

Here’s the Way It Stood
Before the Fight Came
The developments in Atlanta’s con
test up to the time of the victory i3
indicated in the following news vtory
from The Georgian's correspondent:
B:- JAMES B. NEVIN.
DALLAS, TEX.. May 14—Take
Forrest Adair’s word for It, Atlanta
| is going to win to-day.
Just before closing campaign rec-
j ords and going into the session of
j the imperial council of the Mystic
Shrine to-day Mr. Adair and his
faithful Yaarab boosters and boom
ers held a final council of war.
After checking every name on th”
rolls of representatives and the im
perial council, and after tightening
up all the rivets everywhere, the
conference decided that Atlanta
should win over Memphis by approx
imately two to one, and that only
; the most unexpected and unantlcl-
| pated complication could prevent At
lanta capturing the 1914 gathering.
It Is not to be supposed that this
campaign in Dallas has been all easy
sailing. On the contrary, much of
it has been exceedingly rough, al
though never dangerous, so far .is
the Yaarabs could see.
Memphis has made a game fight
and has had stout-hearted friends
on hand waging her battle. It has
been clearly shown, however, tha*
Atlanta has very much the better of
Memphis in the matter of hotel ac
commodations. and the Dallas gath
ering has been flooded with invita
tions from officials of Georgia and
the city of Atlanta, clubs and busi
ness organizations, as well as many
private persons.
The publicity work has been in
telligently handled. That large en
tertainment fund, reaching well to
ward $100,000, coupled with the as
surance that there is more money
where that came from, all served
to make Atlanta’s success seeming
ly certain.
Little Talk of “Dark Horse.*’
There has been some jealousy
cropping out. of course. Some del
egates having no particular love ri*
ther for Atlanta or Memphis, al
though few of that sort have been In
evidence, have undertaken to stait
talk of a “dark horse,” and in that
connection, both Atlantic City and
Boston have been mentioned as ac
ceptable meeting places for next
year. Baltimore has also been men
tioned.
In the main, however, the contest
for the nonor of entertaining the
Imperial council has been confined ;o
Atlanta and Memphis, with Atlanta
always leading easily.
It is predicted that there will be a
much larger-crowd in Atlanta next
year than is now in Dallas. In the
first place, the Shriners have been
convinced that Atlanta has the hotel
accommodations atqj the funds to
make things hum. neither of which
Dallas has had to the extent of mak
ing this year's session all it might
have been.
In the second place, the enthusiasm
of the Atlanta delegation has been of
a genuinely winning variety all the
time. It is a foregone conclusion that
the Imperial Council is to meet in
San Francisco in 1915, the year of
the Panama Exposition, and for that
reason It is the purpose of the Shrin
ers to have next year’s session in the
East.
Ballot Wednesday Afternoon.
The balloting on next year’s meet
ing, expected to take place between
now and 1 o’clock, was deferred till
later in the afternoon.
It Is expected that Atlanta will win
easily in the early stages of the vot
ing. If Intelligent leadership, ear
nestness of purpose and thoroughness
of method count for anything. For
rest Adair’s fight should win to-day.
He reached here among the very first,
ind there is not a delegate or a rep-
resentatlv whom he has not seen per
sonally When Atlanta has won. For
rest Adair’s place as a master politi
cian and'manager of men will be es
tablished. He is a wonder and he
knows Shrine politics from beginning
to end He is intimately acquainted
with the men who manage the af
fairs of the Shrine They have been
his warm personal friends for years,
and they are standing by him man-
fuDv now—just as he has stood by
th *m manfully in the past.
Indeed, all the Atlanta delegation
has worked faithfully and hard for
their city’s success to-day.
The lavt word Mr. Adair delivered
to me for transmission to The Geor
gian just before he left the Hotel
Adolphus for the Imperial Council
session to-day was, "Tell them I am
going to bring home the bacon, as 1
promised to, all for the glory of the
Imperial Order of the Shrine, and for
the glory of old Atlanta.”
And he is going to do it, too. As
one Shrlner remarked to me to-day,
"Atlanta’s fight was won the minute
that man Adair hit Dallas, If It wasn’’
won before that.”
Parade a Big Spectacle.
Last night’s big parade was a mag-
nifleent spectacle. More than 15,000
Shriners, either in glittering patrol
robes or the more formal dress suit,
and red fez, were in line. The parade
required two good hours to pass a
given point, as there were, besides the
Shriners’ 41 bands, numerous camels,
chariots, mounted officials and queer
and dinky contraptions propelled in
one way and another—rigged up the
Lord only knows how by Shriners in
accord with some inner Shrine phil
osophy not revealed to the profane and
unregenerate sons of the desert. That
parade, amplified and extended as it
likely will be ir. Atlanta next year,
Is going to look mighty fetching along
Whitehall and Peachtree, even as I
said In a previous wire about the great
parade of the Arab patrol.
Certain differences between the un
ion bands inarching in the parade and
the Yaarab Drum Corps of Atlanta
were amicably adjusted, and the At
lanta drummers marched in both pa
rades yesterday. This incident, which
for a time looked as if it might give
rise to some embarrassing complica
tion, was smoothed out and has caus
ed no unpleasantness whatever. Not
a band was missing from last night’s
parade, and the drum corps was all
there, playing Its part in the parade
handsomely.
Only One Contest for Office.
The only contest for any office is
over that of imperial outer guard, the
lowest of the Imperial Council offi
cers. There are a dozen or more can
didates for this place. All other of
ficers move up consecutively each
y®ar, making the list of officers to
be chosen to-day, except 'imperial

Adair with the bacon.
1 Present for Governor Colquitt.
The Georgia Shriners will present
Governor Colquitt, of Texas, a hand
some loving cup to-day, as an evi
dence of their appreciation of his
open friendliness to the cause of
Georgia and Atlanta, in the matter
of choosing next year’s meeting place.
The Governor spent yesterday and
part of to-day in Dallas, riding in the
parade of the patrols with the im
perial potentate as an especial guest
of honor. He is a native Georgian,
and has not failed to let all with
whom he has talked to-day know it.
As a matter of fact. Governor Col
quitt actually boasts brazenly and
outspokenly of* his Georgia ancestry
and the fact that he was born in
Georgia He is a Brooks County man
and Is closely related to the family
of the late Governor and Senator
Alfred H. Colquitt.
Because of these facts and his
friendship to the cause of Atlanta, the
Georgia Shriners have determined to
honor him with a Georgia loving cup
of solid silver as an evidence of their
good w ill. The Governor has no idea
that he is to receive the cup. It will
be presented to him Thursday in Aus
tin by Illustrious Potentate Adair,
who. with a number of Yaarab dele
gates. will leave Thursday morning
for a swing around Texas
Austin, the. capital, will be the first
stopping point out of Dallas.
PHAGAN MYSTERY LIKELY
Colonel Thomas B. Felder said
Wednesday that IXeteetive Wil
liam J. Burns had not arrived, as
yet. in New York from his Kino-
poan trip, buj that as soon as he
did he undoubtedly would start
at once for Atlanta to work upon
the Mary Phagan strangling
mystery
Colonel Felder is acquainted
with tlie day and the hour on
which the famous sleuth will
reach this city, but for the pur
poses of the investigation he is
withholding the information.
“There was no authority for the
statement that Detective Burns would
be In New York Tuesday,” said
Colonel Felder. “The date of his ar
rival has been known in my office,
but it ha« not been made public."
"It Is quite likely that the great
detective will come quietly and un
announced into the city, make his
investigation of the mystery and slip
out before many persons are aware
from their own knowledge that he
has been working on the case.”
In Touch With Burns Agency.
Colonel Felder has been in con
stant touch kith Raymond Burns, sou
of the detective, who Is secretary
and treasurer of the Burns Agency,
and has offices in New York. The
agency is being placed in possession
of the important new’ developments
in the mystery as rapidly as they
occur. An outline of the whole case
will be laid before Burns the instant
that he arrives at his New York of
fices.
That increasing importance is be
ing attached to the notes that were
found beside the dead body of Mary
Phagan was In Heated Wednesday
when several handwriting experts
weie called before Solicitor General
Hugh M. Dorsey.
An expert testified at the Coroner’s
inquest that the notes, in his opinion,
were written by Newt Lee, the night
watchman at the National Pencil
Factory. The expert was corrobo
rated by the unofficial testimony of
two other expert*.
The Solicitor, however, has not been
satisfied with the evidence he had
on this important point. Experts were
found who disagreed with the con
clusions presented to the Coroner’s
jury. The w riting in tha notes found
near the body of Mary Phagan. they
declared, was much better than the
normal writing of Newt Lee.
Difference in the Slant.
The writing showed evidence of
education and training which Lee did
not possess.
Lee would have had to be under in
struction for two or three months,
they said, before he could show the
improvement that is evident between
the test specimen of his handwriting
and the handwriting of the notes.
Lee’s normal handwriting shows a
decided slant. That of the notes close
ly approaches the perpendicular.
The final letter in each of the words
written by Lee ended abruptly. The
final letters in the notes were round
ed acrefully. indicating a consider
able instruction in penmanship.
A poem said to have been written
bv Mary Phagan will form one of the
specimens of her handwriting which
will be compared with the notes
found in the basement of the National
Pencil Factory. The poem is entitled
“My Pa,” and Mary is said by her
stepfather. J. W. Coleman, to have
been the author.
The poem follows:
He's offul smart!
He ain’t no carpenter, but he can fix a
feller’s cart;
My pa ain’t no millyunaire, but. Gee!
He ain’t no doctor, but you can bet he
alius knows
Just what to do to fix a boy what’s got
a bloody nose!
My pa ain’t president becoz, he says,
he never run.
But he could do as well as any presi
dent has done.
A president may beat my pa at pilin
up the vote,
But he can’t beat him. I will bet,
a-whittlin' out a boat!
Mv iw» ain’t rich, but that's becoz he
never tried to be;
He ain’t no ’lectrician, but one day he
fixed the telephone for me!
My pa ain’t never wrote a book, but 1
know he could,
Becoz the stories that he tells to me
are alius powerful good!
My pa knows everything. I guess, an'
you bet I don't care
‘Coz he ain't president or rich as any
millyunaire!
Whenever things go w’rong. my pa can
make 'em right, you see;
An’ if he ain’t rich or president, my
pa’s good enough fer me!
Woman Witness Excited.
Mrs. Mary Barrett, the woman who
is said to have been in the factory
the Saturday afternoon that Mary
Phagan was killed, was in a state of
great excitement when she emerged
from the office of Solicitor Dorsey
Tuesday afternoon.
She had been summoned by the
Solicitor to tell of what she saw-
while she was at the factory. It was
evident that she believed her knowl
edge of the affair had been misrep
resented. YY'hen she came from the
office she declared, dramatically:
“If anyone has told any lies on me
in connection with this murder they
will certainly suffer for it.”
The daughter of Mrs. Barrett was
heard to tell the Solicitor:
Til talk with her to-night, and
then maybe she’ll do what you ask.
Move for Fingerprint Bureau.
The Police Commission at its meet
ing Tuesday night authorized a
thorough investigation into the ad-
visabilitv of establishing a finger
print identification system in Atlan
ta. This move was made largely as a
result of the mystery that has con
tinued to surround the Phagan case

'ind the possibility that it might have
been cleared up within a few day* had
the city had a fingerprint expert.
There were several distintrui hable
fingerprints found in t/;e factory base
ment. Persons who have had ex
perience in detective work believe that
they might have developed the most
valuable clews in establishing the
identity of the criminal.
Chief of Police Beavers told the,
commission of instances n which fin
gerprints had fixed the guilt of pris
oners when there were no other clews.;
He was appointed by the commission 1
to work with one of the commission
ers in making an investigation into
the feasibility of the bureau plan.
Friends Say Frank’s
Actions Point to Innocence.
If Leo M. Frank is guilty of any
connection with the murder of Mary
Pha ft ’-5n, his actions in the Tower be
lie the time-honored theories of the
greatest criminologists the world has
ever produced, visitors to the prison
er declare.
Famous psychologists, working on
the supposition that the great weight
of guilt upon the mind of a murderer
will, if given time, finally overbal
ance the calm exterior with w hich he
face* his accusers, have made excel
lent use of what they have termed
“silent treatment.”
Prisoners accused of horrible crimes
have been thrown into cells and left
to brood in the long hours of the
night. Often a scream, ringing down
the prison corridors, will tell the tale
of their guilt. Fell keepers, rushing
up. have found prisoners re -enacting
their crimes, muttering the same
words they used when they slew their
victim- and beating the air with their
fists. In one celebrated case demon
strating this, the man beat his brains
out against the bars before he could
be rescued. His action, it was claim
ed afterward, was due to overpower
ing remorse following the realistic
pantomime of the death scene in
which he figured.
The psychological theory is com
monplace. The mind of the murder
er contains two sections—the normal
and the subconscious. It is in the flrsl
that he frames his denial of guilt;
yet the truth is always present, lurk
ing in the subconscious mind. And
there it remains until finally the ter
rible pressure brought te bear by its
weight will overpower the normal
mind and prevail. It Is then the
prisoner Is easily trapped into an ad
mission of his guilt.
Quiet Alone Needed.
For such a state to be brought in
the mind of a prisoner quiet and
solitude are required. He must he
left to brood over the crime. Then it
is that the horror to the human
mind of what he has done will finally
wreck the denial the guilty man has
drawn up, and in despair his confes
sion follows. In such cases the self-
confessed criminal is a case for ab
ject pity. The mental fight through
..men he has gone and lost is pitiful.
It affects his entire physical being
as well, and oftentimes following
such cases the prisoner has been
found prostrated on the floor of his
cell.
In striking contrast to this theory
is the deportment of Frank since
his incarceration at the Tower. Con
fined on the theory that he had a
hand in the death of the Phagan
girl; placed in a lonely cell; passing
his nights in solitude; never at any
time seeing the light of day exceot
as a prisoner in the clutches of the
law, with its iron bars, steel doors
and uniformed officers. Frank has
maintained throughout the two
weeks of his imprisonment a surpris
ing degree of cheerfulness.
To his friends who have been per
mitted to see him Frank has proven
by his attitude, if nothin? else, his
innocence, they declare.
"If Frank were a guilty man.” said
Dr. David Mau, the noted Jewish
rabbi and a personal friend of the
pencil factory superintendent, "he
would have been crazy by now. He
could not have withstood the solitude
and conditions to which he has been
subjected by the law. That he re
mains calm and cheerful is proot
conclusive that he is innocent, for in
nocence alone could save a man s
mind under such conditions."
Among the other of Frank's many
friends who have visited him at th* 1
Tower were Leopold Haas, of Haas
& McIntyre, real estate dealers.
"Every friend that Frank has made
since he came to Atlanta is still as
loyal to him as ever.” said Mr. Hi as.
"His cheerfulness even in his con
finement has served a great deal to
keep up this loyalty. No one who
talks with Frank in his cell cm come
away still believing he committed the
horrible murder or was connected
with it in any way. 1 entertain not
the slightest doubt of his acquittal
once his trial comes up"
Arthur Heyman, of the law firm of
Dorsey, Brewster. Howell & Heyman
declared after a visit with the prison
er that to say that Frank was guilty
of the murder of Mary Phagan was
preposterous.
