Three Candidates for Leadership of
Northern Presbyterians—South-
Delegates Also Vote.
U. P. LEADERS FDR
ern
With cheers that lasted several minutes the name of Rev. John
T. Stone, of Chicago, as a “non-political” candidate for moderator
was placed in nomination as a ‘,‘dark horse” by Rev. J. R. King,
of Monmouth, Ill., at the assembly of the Northern Presbyterian
church late this afternoon.
With Dr. Stone’s name added to the list of possible moderators
the nominations were closed with the Rev. Maitland Alexander,
Pittsburg; Rev. William McKibben, Cincinnati; Rev. Howard A.
Johnston, Bridgeport, Conn, and Rev. S. S. Palmer, of Columbus,
Ohio in the contest.
Thursday saw the inauguration of the real work of two thou
sand delegates and visitors to three great Presbyterian Assem
blies, gathered in one city for the first time in the history of
America.
The actions of this great body of men will affact nearly two
million people, members of the Presibyteriau Church in the United
States. .
Of chief importance among
the events of the day are the
elections of moderators for the
two greatest assemblies—the As
sembly of the Presbyterian
Church, U. S. A., and the Assem
bly of the Presbyterian Church,
\T. S. The United Presbyterians
already have elected Dr. Robert
M. Russell moderator.
At the opening of the Northern As
sembly, in the Baptist Tabernacle, Dr.
Mark A. Matthews, the retiring mod
erator. delivered the sermon that is
always awaited with interest. His
subject was “The Victories of Faith
vp. The Failures of Unbelief,” and
he declared in a ringing talk that the
greatest need of the church was faith.
Three Candidates in Field.
For the moderatorship of the North
ern Assembly three candidates have
appeared in the field. That the con
test will be hotly fought is almost
certain, but all the indication# favored
a victory for the conservatives.
The candidates are Dr. Maitland
Alexander, of Pittsburg, Pa., who has
the support of the conservative ele
ment; Dr. S. S. Palmer, of Columbuf,
Ohio, and Dr. William McKibben, of
Cincinnati, Ohio.
The session of the Southern branch
wata opened by Dr. Thomas 9. Clyce,
of Sherman, Texas, the retiring mod
erator, at the North Avenue Church,
owing to the policy pursued by this
organization, which precludes all pol
itics in the election of moderator, no
candidate has appeared for that office.
Both branches will elect their mod
erators before night.

Moderator Fight in
■Northern Assembly.
At the opening session of ths
Northern Assembly, at thi, Baptist
Tabernacle, Thursday morning Mod
erator Dr. Mark Matthews, of Seat
tle, former Georgian, now pastor of
the largest Presbyterian church In the
United States, preached what many
of his hearers considered one of the
strongest sermons he has ever deliv
ered. His subject was "The Victories
of Faith vs. The Failures of Unbelief.'
Following the annual sermon of
the moderator, the convention ad
journed to 2:30 o'clock, when the
second session was begun.
The session of the Southern As
sembly, at the North Avenue Church,
followed the course pursued by the
Northern Assembly, adjourning to
2:30 o'clock, after hearing the annual
sermon of the moderator, Dr. Thomas
S. Clyce, of Sherman. Texas.
Interest in the Thursday sessions
of the two assemblies centered, of
ivjurse, in the election of moderators
to head the assemblies of the
church scheduled for the afternoon
session. Three men have been prom
inently mentioned for the honor of
succeeding to the work of Dr. Mat
thews—Dr. Maitland Alexander, of
Pittsburg, Pa.; Dr. S. 8. Palmer, of
Uolumbus, Ohio, and Dr. William Mc
Kibben, president of the Dane The
ological Seminary, of Cincinnati.
Contest Narrow* to Two.
Prior to the balloting, however,
the contest seemed to have narrowed
down to Dr. Palmer and Dr. Alex
ander. with Dr. MdKibben losing
ground slowly and Alexander in the
lead

"The Penal Syetem aa it Pertains
to Christianity'' was the subject of
an address before the United Pres
byterian Assembly delivered by Judge
McKinzie Cleland of Chicago, in the
Central church Thursday afternoon.
Judge Cleland brought forth for a
strong arraignment the practices ob
served In the Jails and prison Insti
tutes, asking his audience if such
methods were in conformity with
Christianity.
Formerly a member of the Munici
pal Court bench tn Chicago, Judge
Cleland spoke from his own obser
vations of criminals and illustrated
his points by Instances of the great
harm which he declared was being
wrought under the penal system.
“It is Just as logical to place a man
in a garbage can, to improve his di
gestion," said Judge Cleland, "ag it
is to put him in jail to improve his
morale.
“The practice of giving prisoners
sermons on the prodigal son are no
good.
“Forty per cent of those who go
to jail go back again. I know of one
woman who has been in Jail 17S
times. The confinement has no effect
upon them. It does not teach them
to be better men and women. Also
there are thousands who go to the
prisons because they are unable to
pay the fines imposed upon them.
They may be good people, who
through unfortunate circumstances
come within (he clutches of the law.
“Once in confinement they are
brought in contact with criminals of
the worst type. They become tainted
and go out of their prisons far worse
than before. It is the duty of the
church to fight the penal system and
I hereby move that a campaign be
inaugurated against it.”
Moderator Russell, following Judge
Cleland’? address, put a motion before
the assemblage that a resolution be
drawn un denouncing the penal sys
tem. The motion carried unani
mously.

Fasting for Cancer,
Paris Expert's Cure
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, May 16.—Dr. Keating Hart,
famous French cancer specialist, who
laid before the Academy of Medicine
a new theory for the cure of the
malignant disease, which consists
chiefly of fasting, holds that cancer
is not hereditary and that It can be
cured.
The general treatment consists In
reduction of food almost to the point
of starvation; the local treatment,
given when the disease Is incipient,
consists of the usual operation, fol
lowed by the directing of a stream
of high-tension electric sparks against
the affected part.
Dr. Hart believes that the over
heated condition of blood, due to
heavy eating, makes part of the bouy
susceptible to cancer germs.

Noted Detective, Himself, to Take
Up Case June i—One of His
Experts Coming Soon.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder, noted Atlanta lawyer, Thursday
issued the positive statement that William J. Burns would take
charge of the Pliagau investigation immediately upon his return
from Europe, June 3.
In the meantime a criminal investigator will be sent from the
Burns Agency’s New York offiee to prosecute the investigation.
Colonel Felder gave out the
following dispatch received
from Raymond J. Burns, son of
William J. Burns, in New York,
which tells of the father's de
termination to take up the Pha-
gan mystery:
Father still in Europe. Re
turns about June 1. He consents
to take charge of Phagan Investi
gation immediately upon his re
turn. He suggest* I send a good
criminal investigator to start in
vestigation immediately before
same gets too cold.
Colonel Felder declared his su
preme confidence In Burns' ability to
clear up the Phagan mystery and
bring to light the person or persona
guilty of the murder
Thinks Fund Can Bs Raised.
He declared that his action in se
curing the detective was given Impe
tus by the demands of Atlanta etti-
sens to clear up the mystery regard
less of cost, and he expresses his be
lief that sufficient funds to cover the
Investigation will be easily forthcom
ing.
Already, he declared, the founda
tion of a fund had been secured
through the generous donations of
friends of the Phagan girl and other
people who have Interested them
selves in the work. Colonel Felder
hlmeelf hae turned over to the fund
the fee paid his legal firm to assist In
the prosecution.
And now, with the subscriptions
well under way, he declared, the pub
lic-spirited cltlaene of the city, by
popular subscriptions, would be asked
to make up the shortage.
Golonel Felder’s statement in full Is
as follows;
Statement by Felder.
The time is at hand when I
deem it not only proper, but nec
essary," that 1 take the public into
my confidence relative to the fur
ther proposed investigation of the
Phagan murder case.
My firm was employed by neigh
bors and friends of the deceased
shortly after the crime was com
mitted to aid in the preparation of
the case and the prosecution
thereof.
Without intending to reflect in
the slightest degree upon the vig
ilant detectives engairrri upon the
case, who seem to be doing their
utmost to ferret out the mystery,
it occurred to me that the mag
nitude of the crime justified an
effort to eecure the services of Wil
liam J. Burns, a man with a rec
ord of successes covering a period
of 30 years or more—and without
a single failure charged against
him.
Wemen Aid in Move.
A committee of prominent wom-
inent women of the city, distin
guished for their philanthropic
work, called upon me, assuring me
that funds sufficient to cover the
expenses of Burns’ Investigation
could he raised by public sub
scription. I assured these good
women of my willingness to con
tribute our fee. and some addi
tional amount if necessary. I Im
mediately got into communication
with Mr. Burns, and the result of
my efforts will be reflected by a
cablegram which reached me by
way of his New York office, which
is published herewith.
I feel that those Interested in
seeing Justice vindicated, by fixing
this crime upon the guilty parties,
whom I feci certain will be
brought to punishment through
the efforts of this distinguished
detective, are to be congratulated
that we have been able to secure
his services.
The fund thus far raised by the
friends and neighbors of the fam
ily of deceased, and through the
fforts of the good women who
aave interested themselves^n this
work, falls far short of the
amount required to carry It for
ward.
Public Asked to Donat*.
The public Is therefor# Invited
to contribute to the fund. At the
conclusion of the work nn Item
ized statement of receipts and
disbursements in this behalf will
be published by the press of the
city for the information of the
subscribers to the fund
In conclusion 1 desire to mv
that in what I am doing I have
the approval of the Solicitor Gen
eral, Hon. Hugh M. Dorsey, who
will supervise and direct all work
In this behalf.
THOMAS B. FELDER.
For Felder. Anderson, Diiion &
Whitman.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey
said that he expected no developments
along the line of a new arrest, nor
had there been anything at all In the
rase that would lead him to change
the direction of his prosecution.
"Thpre is absolutely nothing new
in the case,” he said Thursday morn
ing, “unless it tg evidence that hae not
been mad* public. Our Investigation
has been extensive, and some rather
Important points have been brought
out since the Coroner’s inquest, but
there is nothing that could be called
new.
“For the last two day* our effort*
have been directed toward getting
the different statements in shape and
corroborating what evidence w*
have."
New Arrest Not Unlikely.
It became known, however, that for
two days deputies from the officea of
the Solicitor have been contemplat
ing making a new arrest in the case,
and that it is not unlikely the ar
rest mtv be made Thursday or Fri
day.
One of ihe deputies was responsi
ble for the statement that there was
almost as much evidence against ths
party, or parties, under surveillance as
there was against ths two suspects
held in the Tower, He said he had
not made the arrest yet because ths
persons could not gst away and he
wanted to get the sanction of the
Solicitor, which had thus far been
withheld.
The Solicitor aaid that he at
tached little importance to the slip
of paper found in an old purse at
Mary Phagan's home on which was
written the slain girl’s name and ad
dress. Other than as a specimen of
her handwriting, he said, it was of
no importance.
Ha said he did not believe the girl
expected to meet her death or had
the slip of paper as an Identification
card, for the reason that it was left
in an unused purse and at her home
The Solicitor had several confer
ences yesterday with handwriting ex
perts and intimated the evidence
along thin line would play an Impor
tant part in the trial.
The Grand Jury meets Friday, but
it Is not probable the Phagan case
will be submitted then. Mr. Dorsey
said that he might call a special ses
sion some time before Friday of next
week, but the probabilities wye It
would be considered on that day.
All the cases on the docket, with
the exception of the Phagan case,
were placed on the Grand Jury calen
dar Thursday to “clean up” every
thing for the Phagan investigation,
which probably will take several day*
