I Im- medlatcly got into communication . it'i Mr. Hums, and the result of ny - fforts will be reflected by a ablegram 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 ( rime upon the guilty parties, whom I feel certain will bt brought to punishment through the efforts of this distinguished detective, are to he 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 rfforts of the good women who nave Interested themselves in this work, falls far short of the amount required to carry it for ward. Public Asked to Donate. The public is therefore invited to contribute to the fund. At the conclusion of the work an 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 I desire to say 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 R FELDER. For Felder, Anderson, Dillon & 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 case that would lead him to change the direction of his prosecution. "There is absolutely nothing new in the case,” he said Thursday morn ing, “unless it is evidence that has not been made public. Our investigation has been extensive, and some rather important points have been brought out since the Coroner’s inquest, but tin re is nothing that could be called new. ‘ For the last two days our efforts have been directed toward getting tiie different statements in shape and corroborating what evidence we have.” New Arrest Not Unlikely. It became known, however, that for two days deputies from the offices of the Solicitor have been contemplat ing making a new arrest in the case, and that it is not unlikely the ar rest may be made Thursday or Fri day. One of the deputies was responsi ble for the statement that there was almost as much evidence agulnst the party, or parties, under surveillance as there was against the two suspects held in the Tower. He said he had not made the arrest yet because the persons could not get away and he wanted to get the sanction of the Solicitor, which had thus far been withheld. The Solicitor said 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. He 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 this line would play an impor tant part in the trial. The Grand Jury meets Friday, but it is not probable the Phagan case will he submitted then. Mr. Dorsey said that he might call a special ses sion some time before Friday of next week, but the probabilities were 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 days RLE TRIAL OF SAMOSE The Georgian-American Pony Contest VOTE COUPON Hearst’s Sunday American and Atlanta Georgian PONY CONTEST VOTE COUPON, THURSDAY, MAY 15,1913 5 VOTES NOT GOOD AFTER MAY 30, 1913.

ATLANTA BAPTIST OPPOSED TO HOI Dr. Gray, at Southern Convention, Presents Report Antagonistic to Denominational Merger. ST LOUIS, May 16. —Delegates to the sixty-seventh annual Southern Baptist convention as well as relig ious leaders of other denominations to-day are discussing the anti- churcli-union plank In the formal re port of Dr. B. D. Gray, of Atlanta, for the Board of Home Missions. In it he said: “Baptists can best serve human welfare by loyalty to the principles of their own faith. Union church ef forts have failed and will full. If the clamor for the weakening of the de nominational lines should succeed, it would result not In a church union, but in skepticism. If our people are brought to think that the things are worthless for which their fathers sacrificed they will come to think that all the rest Is worthless.” National conventions of the Epis copal and Disciples of Christ Churches have declared for church union and have appointed Joint commissions to confer with other denominations. At the meeting of the National Lutheran Synod in Kansas yesterday, a report favoring the union plan was present ed. Northern Baptists and Disciples of Christ churches in Chicago already are working out a plan of union. U. S. 1/1/ILL REPLY Raising Funds for Judson Centennial. CLIFTON FORGE, VA., May 15 The Rev. George Green liav resigned thp pastorate of the Clifton Forge Baptist Church to accept the position of field secretary under thf Southern Baptist Foreign Mission Board, with headquarters at Georgetown, Ky. He will solicit funds for the Judson Cen tennial memorial for the equipment of hospitals, schools and missions in the foreign field. It ip desired to raise $1,250,000. Of this amount more than $250,000 is already subscribed. Among the other solicitors for this fund is Rev. W. A Taliaferro, of Dublin. Ga.

Great is the joy at Vassar. The ban has been lifted on the turkey trot and the tango, and at the senior “prom,” on May 30, the young women will he permitted to dance the steps that have been forbidden heretofore. At the junlor-sophoni »re hop there was a great scarcity of men because of the ban on the new dances, and the girls let it be known they were through with the old ones. A "law and order” committee of carefully selected-students and mem bers of the faculty will attend the coming "prom” to see that propriety is observed. POLITICS BLOCKS LODGE WORK IN SOUTH CAROLINA ANDERSON. S. C.. May 15.—The bitter political campaign of 1912 caused a halt in the work of Odd Fel lows in South Carolina, according to a report just made by the grand mas ter of the order. “For four months in the summer of 1912 I could find no one not in terested in politics.” he says. ”1 tried to visit a few lodges but finally had to give it up ami wait un til the election was over.” This probably is the first time an official reference has been made in lodge matters to a political campaign. Mikado To Be Assured That Gov ernment Did Everything Pos sible to Block Alien Bill. WASHINGTON, May 15.—-The for- mal reply of the United States to the Japanese protest against the Webb alien land law in California probably will be dispatched to Tokio late to morrow’. It was learned that the document assures Japan that the United States has done everything In its power to prevent the enactment of the Webb law. • Japan also will be informed that the administration intends to do everything possible to delay the en forcement of the law' until its con stitutionality shall be determined. That the United States Government will be compelled to support Califor nia in whatever controversy arises in the courts over the alleged discrimi natory element in tlie land bill is the opinion of State Department officials. Since Japan does not claim treaty violations in her protest made to thf United States Government and says that the alleged discrimination in the Webb measure is one involving her national honor rather than any legal right, the situation which presents it self is one which can not be submit ted to arbitration at The Hague. Grov. Johnson to Sign Bill Within 72 Hours. SACRAMENTO, May 15. Gover nor Hiram Johnson to-day said he would sign the anti-alien land bill within 72 hours. He intimated that he might sign it to-day. His delay, he said, was due entirely to the fact that he desired not to appear discourteous to the national administration. Government Not to Act Further Now. WASHINGTON, May 15. No ac tion will be taken to-day by the ad ministration in reference to the Japa- nese-California situation. With Sec retary Bryan in N$w York, where he will remain until to-morrow, the White House officials to-day stated there was no possibility of official consideration of Governor Johnson’s message to the Secretary of State un til the Cabinet meeting to-morrow. It is not believed at the White House that the administration will take any further steps in the land law* question at present, but will leave it to the courts to decide wheth er the law is constitutional and agrees with existing treaties. Clamor Over Bill in Japan Is Dying Out. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. TOKIO, May 15. An optimistic feeling prevails at the Japanese Foreign Office that the controversy between this country and the United States over the California land bill will soon be settled to the satisfaction of both sides. An attache of the Foreign Office said to-day: “We expect to reach a friendly and permanent solution. The negotia tions with the United States are go ing ahead satisfactorily.” The public clamor over the bill is dying out. Arizona to Hear Protest of Japs. PHOENIX, ARIZ, May 15.—Gov ernor Hunt to-day said he would re ceive a committee of the Japanese Society of Arizona that desires to place protests against the alien land bill. In case the Governor refuses to veto the bill the case will be taken to the United States Supreme Court to | test the constitutionality of th*» act. To Beautify School With ‘Clean-Up’ Prize Pupils of the Davis Street school are planning to further beautify the school grounds with the $25 prize won in the recent “clean up" con test. The prize was presented to the school by Walter G. Cooper, eecretarv of the Chamber of Commerce, In a happy speech of congratulation. W. O. Stamps, of the Board of Education, addressed the school. Miss Julia Riordan. the principal, was highly complimented on the school’s work. This is tli» second successive time Davis Street s«chool has won the ”i lean up” day prize. The 36ft chil dren obtained 12.500 pledges within a day and a half. Former Banker Asks Sheriff to Shield Him-From All—Pleads His Illness. Utmost seclusion attended the first day s Incarceration of J. Wylie Smith, former head of the Commercial Loan and Discount Company, Atlanta, ac cused of forgery, who was brought back to the city Wednesday night. Smith refused pointhlank to see any one. Dr. George W. Dewberry, who says Smith is indebted to him in the sum of about $1,800, visited the Tower early Thursday morning in a n effort to see the prisoner, but was un successful. To newspaper men Smith sent word that he has nothing to say, either about his two years’ life in Mexico or the charges. “I’m going to spend all my time getting well,” he said. Worn to a Shadow. Smith looked like a ghost of his former self when he arrived in At lanta with T. M. Hamilton Wednes day. He was worn almost to a shad ow by his experiences since he left Atlanta, and was as loath to talk about these experiences as he was to divulge information concerning his financial operations here. Smith's face was marked with lines of suffer ing, which he declared he got fight ing in Mexico, and he seemed to weigh scarcely 100 pounds. The ol 1 sang froid and care-free air with which he used to walk the streets of Atlanta was gone, and Smith walked, talked and looked like an invalid. The former president of the Com mercial Loan and Discount Company was met at the station by City De tectives Sturdivant and Davis and taken immediately to the Tower. He tried to dodge the newspaper report ers and photographers, hiding behind Mr. Hamilton when the picture men tried to snap him. During the two years that have elapsed since Smith left Atlanta, leav ing the affairs of his company in a chaotic condition, he has been practi cally Immune from arrest. Several times he has been taken in custody by the Pinkerton, but each time ef forts to have him extradicted have failed, and he has lived in little dan ger of being brought to trial. Joined in Revolution. When the trouble in Mexico broke out Smith joined one of the “comic opera” armies, which one he refuses to state. It is generally understood among his Atlanta friends, however, that lie enlisted with the army of Fe lix Diaz and took part in the over throw of Madero. He wore the khaki uniform of Diaz’s rurales when he re turned to Atlanta. Smith was* injured in one of the many battles, and because of the lack of proper nursing and care, failed rapidly. JJe has kept up his corre spondence with friends in Atlanta, and when he thought the end was near, he consented to return and face tiie charges against him. He was per suaded to do this by T. M. Hamilton, who left Atlanta last Thursday to bring him back. Smith war in Jaurez when Mr. Hamilton arrived in El Paso, and Tas so weak that he had to be brought across the Rio Grande in a carriage. While Smith is very weak and ner vous, it is not thought his condition is serious. A few weeks of careful nursing and good food will bring him around all right, his friends' declare, and he will then be ready to face his accusers. College Girls’ Prank Scandalizes School ROCKFORD. ILL., May 15.—Fif teen girls have been suspended for two weeks and sent to their homos under guardianship and two have been expelled from staid Rockford college, the oldest girls’ institution in the West, for an escapade early this week. Accompanied by local youn men the girls went to Free port where they registered them selves as members of a theatrical troupe. Two couples are said to have gone on to Dubuque and the parents v >f the girls have demanded an explana tion from the young men. The col lege was practically closed to-day owing to the absence of the faculty. The affair has caused the biggest scandal the college has ever known. Thaw in Clout at Anhut Bribery Trial NEW YORK. May 15.—Chief inter est centered in the appearance of Harry Thaw when the trial of Johr. N. Anhut, under indictment for brib ery in connection with an alleged at tempt to liberate Thaw from Mattea- wan Asylum, began to-day in the Su preme Court. Thaw reached New York at 10 o’clock, looking healthier than he has for months. He wore a blue serge suit and a straw* hat. The indictment charges Anhut with offering $20,000 to Dr. John W. Rus sell, former superintendent of Mattea- wan. to declare Thaw sane so that he might gain his liberty. • J WYLIE SMITH, former • Atlantan, brought back from Mexico to face charges of forgery.

Reeves Exonerated Of Eloping Charge Complete exoneration of J. G. Reeves, an Atlanta real estate opera tor, of the charge of eloping with Mrs. Edward M. Brown was made Thurs day by Brown. The exoneration of Reeves is framed In the following letter which Brown sent to The Georgian: “In reference to the interview' at tributed to me in last night's paper accusing Mr. J. G. Reeves of eloping to Macon with my wife. I beg to say that upon careful investigation I find that Mr. Reeves is entirely innocent of the charges. “Would thank you to give this let ter publicity as I know that Mr. Reeves has been unjustly wronged in this matter.” Pardon Board Hears Mangham Petition The State Prison Commission Thursday forenoon heard the argu ments in behalf of a pardon for J.

The commission was told that Mangham had been guilty neither of embezzlement nor any other crime. His conviction was due. said his at torney, entirely to public sentiment. The commission will make its rec ommendation within a few days. YAARAB PATROL ‘Damnation’ a Vital Issue 10 GET GREAT Smoking Pastors Under Debate +•+ 2 Live Topics for Presbyterians Stay-at-Homes Will Greet Shrin-j ers at Train Saturday Night for Triumphal Parade. Red fire, the fanfare of brass bands, the din of every noise-making do- ' vice known to human ingenuity and .t j triumphal procession through the J principal streets of Atlanta will be a few of the features that will mark the reception of Potentate Forrest Adair and his victorious Yaarabs, who landed the 1914 convention of the Shrlners in Dallas, when they alight from their train Saturday night at the Terminal Station. Fifteen minutes after they learned Atlanta had plucked the melon at Dallas, local Shriners who were un able to make the trip and taste the joys of combat, began planning this reception. Four prominent members, Dr. M. E. Turner, T. H. Pitt, C. H. Essig and Oscar Weinmeister. formed themselves into a committee to pre pare for the home-coming of the vic tors. and this morning they an nounced their plans. Here they are: Every Shriner in Atlanta, and every Shriner from other cltie 41 who happens to be in Atlanta on Saturday, is re quested and commanded to report at the Terminal Station at 9:20 o’clock Saturday night. All Shriners an? urged to wear their fezes and bring with them the choicest assortment of rioise-producing instruments they can find. A brass band/ will thrill the Shriners with martial music while waiting for the special to arrive from Dallas. Drum Corps in Uniform. Mr. Weinmeister wired to Mr. Adair this morning to have the drum corps and the Arab patrol in full uniform when they arrive in Atlanta. The fun will begin as soon as the conquerors of Memphis and the world alight from their train. After much handshaking and congratulation, the Shriners will leave the station and parade through the city, headed by the band. The pa trol and drum corps will act as escorts to the men who made the trip to Dal las. “We are going to turn Atlanta upside down Saturday night,” said Oscar Weinmeister Thursday morning. “The boys have done a wonderful thing for the Shriners and for Atlanta, and they deserve the best reception we can give them. We have been circulating among the Shriners since Atlanta won the fight, and J believe there is a Shriner in Atlanta who will not be on hand to help celebrate.” Dispatches from The Georgian’s staff correspondent on the battle ground told of a wild night in Dallas Wednesday night. The night was given over to merrymaking and cele brating the victory of the Gate City. Atlanta and Memphis at Peace. Whatever feeling may have cropped out during the fight between Atlanta and Memphis has entirely disap peared, and none are more enthusias tic over Atlanta than the Memphis delegations. The Tennesseeans have assured Adair and his men that they will be on hand in 1914 and do their best to make the big meet a success. So jubilant were the Atlantans over their victory they staged an im promptu parade that Dallas voted was the best thing they had seen in a long time. Captain W. R. Joyner was master of ceremonies, and headed the Atlanta patrol and drum corps in *:he parade. The street crowds got to singing “In Dear Old Georgia” about 9 o’clock and kept it up until morning. Waycross Gets 1914 Templar Convention COLUMBUS, GA.. May 15.—Way- cross to-day was selected as the next meeting place of the Grand Com- mandery, Knights Templar of Georgia May 6, 1914, is the date. The following officers were elected to-day, just prior to adjournment: A. G. Miller, Waycross, grand com mander; W. B. Bo we, Augusta, dep uty grand commander; B. F.

CHARLES STELZLE. some people that these “split Ps” act ually belong to the same great Pres byterian family. This realization may or may not come in the regular meetings of the assemblies—the discovery is more likely to be made in the homes in which those commissioners are being entertained. It’s the human element, not the theological, that will finally produce the spirit of greater brother hood among Presbyterians, and the women in the homes are going to help right loyally op the job. Whether all “non - elect” children dying in infancy go straight to hell is a "human In- 1 terest” problem which will pro-' duce mingling emotions in the minds of most mothers, to say nothing of some fathers. A stern P resbyterian preacher of a former day is reported to have imparted the cheerful infor mation that the mouth of hell is choked with such infants. He did not state specifically how he came by this knowledge, but the sermon must have sent his congregation home shivering, in spite of the warmth of his subject. The Southern Presbyterian Assem bly now in session in Atlanta will wrestle with this much discussed question. For some time its minis ters and Presbyteries have been de bating the proposition as to whether the confession of faith should be re vised so as to declare plainly that all children dying in infancy shall be saved—as probably practically all of them now sincerely believe—or whether this church shall continue to merely affirm that all “elect in fants dying in infancy” shall be sav ed from hell. Elect Infant Clause Inserted Long Ago. However this matter may be final ly disposed of, it should be said in all fairness that when this “elect in- Interesting Personage Assembly Delegate. There’s a very dignified commis sioner In the Northern Assembly from St. Louis. His name is Gregg—Dr. Harris H. Gregg, pastor of the Wash- ington-Compton Avenue Church. For conservatism in theology he is the limit, but he is so thoroughly human and warm hearted that most folks are compelled to admire him even though they cannot accept his "pre- millenial” and other “dispensational” teaching. If there is a young fel low in his parish who needs a per sonal friend, Dr. Gregg Is on hand If he finds out about the chap’s need. If a stranger Is coming to town who needs a boarding house and some of the other things that strangers need. Dr. Gregg will personally meet him at the station, if the job is put up to him by an interested, mutual friend; and Dr. Gregg will see that the stran ger is comfortably settled. There’s one man in the assembly who was once the pastor of a mis sion church in St. Louis, and his sal ary wasn’t large. He managed to send his wife to the country for a needed vacation, but he couldn’t af ford to go himself. In a most casual way Dr. Gregg learned about the sit uation, and the next morning the young minister received a check through the mail from Dr. Gregg, with a hearty note, inviting him go fant” clause was ^inserted in the Westminster Confession of Faith, thej see jjjg w jf e f 0r a CO uple of weeks. REFRESHING SLEEP Horsford'i Acid Phosphate Half a teaspoonful in a glass of cola water before retiring Induces restful sleep. Non-Alco holic. Adr. Former Cashier of Bank Gets 4 Years SAVANNAH. GA., May 15.—Failing to agree with the jury which sym pathized with James B. Smith, for mer cashier of the Merchants and Farmers Bank, of Claxton. Judge Walter G. Charlton, in Chatham Superior Court, has sentenced the prisoner to four years in the peniten tiary. The jury had recommended mercy. Smith was charged with forging and passing an altered certificate of stock of the Claxton bank, with which he borrowed money from the Com mercial Bank, of Savannah. Smith is 22 years old and was re cently married. His bride and moth er were with him throughout the trial He sobbed aloud when the verdict was announced. RICH MACON YOUNG MAN TAKES POISON; MISTAKE MACON, GA.. May 15.—B. Sanders Walker, one of Macon’s wealthiest and most prominent young business men, took a poisonous tablet by mis take to-day and his death is mo mentarily expected. He thought he was taking a headache cure. CARNEGIE’S NEPHEW ILL IN A HOSPITAL AT MIAMI MIAMI. FLA., May 15.—Frank Carne gie. nephew of Andrew Carnegie, is se riously ill at the City Hospital. He was brought in from a cruise among the Florida Keys with Harry Whitney, ex plorer. then dominant church—this was sev eral hundred years ago—insisted that only children under its care should be saved. The Presbyterians of that day vehemently declared that this was not true—that at least all the infants of “the elect,” or all the “elect in fants,” whichever way you may choose to put it,—in short, the pre destined ones—were also to be saved. This attitude was a radical advance over the system which limited so narrowly the number of “saved” in fants. and these worthies of the old Presbyterian faith should be given due credit for their “radicalism." But there are large numbers of Presby terians who are to-day unwilling to go much in advance of this doctrine. They say that whatever may be their personal opinions about the matter, there is absolutely no scripture pas sage which distinctlv states that all children dying in infancy shall be saved, and they are not ready to in corporate In their Confession of Faith a doctrine they state is not specifi cally taught in the Bible. They are willing to rest their faith upon “the revealed word,” leaving as open questions all matters of uncer tainty. They do not say that all such Infants are not saved, but neith er will they have the church teach that they are saved. Perhaps the Atlanta Assembly will throw some further light upon this troublesome problem, but this is not likely to be the case. Smoking by Pastors Again Under Debate. While the sincere and earnest men In these assemblies admit they do not know what the Almighty will do in the future, with “damned” children, there are a good many who have agreed upon the question as to whether it is quite the thing for full- grown ministers to smoke right now. They will probably declare, to use rather a raw epigram, that “it is bet ter to smoke here than hereafter,” but they are more than ready to keep any.minister from smoking anywhere. If the Northern Assembly does not! pass its usual annual resolution j against the practice of ministers smoking, it will no doubt be because they are meeting in a part of the country where this habit is far more common than it is in the North. And yet it is a peculiar coincidence that nearly every ex-moderator of the Northern Assembly is a user of tobacco. As for the commissioners —watch them in the lobbies of the hotels. Triple Meeting A Sign of Progress. Few people appreciate the signifi cance of this simultaneous meeting of the three Presbyterian Assemblies —the Northern, Southern and Unit ed. A few years ago such a pro ceeding would have been an absolute Impossibility. There are some folks in Atlanta at this moment who are fearful of what may happen during the next 10 days.
