GA., SATURDAY, MAY 17, 1913. 2 CENTS EVERYWHERE F ri^" FINAL* Solicitor General Dorsey Declares Work of His Greatest Detective Has Been Completed. WELCOMES AID OF BURNS IN CLEARING UP MYSTERY Handwriting Expert at Work on Clews Furnished by Notes Found in Pencil Factory. Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey said Sat urday that his - greatest detective in America" would not figure again in the Phagan investigation, and that it was extremely doubtful whether he would he recalled to testify at the trial. "He has finished his investigation,” said the Solicitor, “and we have no further need for him. A detective is one thing and a witness ia another. His investigation led us to witnesses. It is not necessary for him, or any detective, to tell the jury what a dis interested witness will tell.” He would not say, however, wheth er his decision not to put the "great est in America” on the witness stand would apply to the city, Pinkerton and Burns detectives. Grand Jury Meets Wednesday, The Solicitor announced that the Grand Jury would meet next Wed nesday for an extra session, but said It was hardly probable the Phagan case would be considered then. He said there were a number of cases that demanded attention and the ex tra session would more than likely be called to dispose of everything on the calendar to prepare for the ses sion Friday, when the Phagan case would more than likely be presented. Mr. Dorsey said that his interview of Friday, in which he said the Burns men would work under the same con dition# as the Pinkertons, had been misconstrued by some to mean that the services of the great detective were not needed. Welcomes Burns' Aid. He said that he did not intend to create that impression, when as a matter of fact he would welcome Mr. Eurns in the case and give him every ■co-operation, except giving out infor mation or evidence that had already been secured. He will continue to ex amine witnesses up to the day the case'goes to the Grand Judy, he said, Bernard L. Chappell, attorney for the negro. Newt Bee, said Saturday- morning that unless the Grand Jury a*cted on the Phagan case next week 1 he would bring habeas corpus pro ceedings in an effort to secure his re lease. Pursue Writing Clews. With powerful miscroscopes, mag nifying glasses and a series of reflect ing mirrors Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey and the city detectives, as sisted by a handwriting expert, who is said to be one of the best in the country, are minutely examining the "handwriting clews” in the Phagan mystery They confidently expect im portant developments. Solicitor Dorsey would not disclose the Identity of the expert on penman ship because, he said the man's serv ices were voluntary and given with the understanding that he was not to be known unless it became absolutely necessary to place him on the witness stand. The Solicitor said, however, that he was one of the best in the country, and the great detective agencies considered his tests infal lible. The two notes found in the base ment of the pencil factory, specimen of the handwriting of the two men held in the Tower in connection with the murder, letters and notes written by the slain girl and the handwriting on the books of the pencil factory are being subjected to rigid tests.

I HARDLY can find words in which to express my high appre ciation of the good work done for Atlanta by Mr. Hearst and the Hearst newspapers in the matter of bringing next year ’s meeting of the Imperial Council of the Mystic Shrine to Atlanta. Not only did Mr. Hearst give us the free and unlimited support of The Atlanta Georgian and The Sunday American, but every newspaper he owns in the United States was working for the Gate City. I REGARD IT AS SIGNIFICANT THAT IN EVERY CITY, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, IN WHICH MR. HEARST HAS A NEWSPAPER, THE DELEGATIONS ATTENDING THE SHRINE MEETING IN DALLAS WERE FOR ATLAN TA FIRST, LAST, AND ALL THE TIME. I saw the effects of Mr. Hearst’s work, time and again, as the fight progressed, and always it was hearty and effective in Atlanta's behalf. The fine special Shriner edition of The Atlanta Sunday American which Mr. Hearst sent to Dallas was read widely and went far toward convincing the delegates that Atlanta is the place to hold next year’s meeting. And last of all, I thank The Georgian and Sunday Amer ican for having a personal representative on the ground in Dallas to keep the home folks informed promptly and fully of the proceedings as they developed. Atlanta won a magnificent victory, through the assembling of numerous influences, and no one deserves more praise to-day than does Mr. Hearst and his newspapers. He and they have proven themselves to be Atlanta's loyal and enthusiastic friends. In this statement I am joined cordially by Mr. Hinds, Mr. Foster and Mr. Hutcheson, the other members of the commit tee from Yaarab Temple having in charge Atlanta’s interests in Dallas. Caesar in all his glory was never accorded a greater acclama tion upon his triumphal entry into Rome than that with which Illustrious Potentate Forrest Adair was received upon his return from Dallas Saturday afternoon. Atlanta outdid herself in her reception of this victor. Noted as she is for her patriotic spirit, no demonstration that this city has ever given of appreciation of her sons was ever seen to equal this one. And every cheer which arose from the thousands of those who attended the ar rival and participated in the fol lowing parade rose 'up from the heart. Pandemonium reigned when the il lustrious Yaarab stepped from the train and pandemonium continued un til he disappeared Into the Temple at the end of the gorgeous pageant. Knoxville Shrinera in Parade. Enthusiastic witnesses and partici pants in this demonstration of Atlan ta aplrlt were the members of the Alhambra Temple of Shriners from Knoxville. They attended the Dallas Conclave and are en route home. At the Terminal Station, however, they were induced to join in the parade, and lent their efforts also to the tremendous welcoming which was being accorded the Yaarabs. When they return to Knoxville they will carry with them the enthusiasm and impetus of the Georgia city to trans plant into their own. The procession which formed at the station was an impressive pa geant. It consisted of two lines stand ing shoulder to shoulder and emitting volume after volume of cheers as the illustrious potentate, his coterie of fighters and the reception party pass ed. Upon the repeated shouts for ' speech, speech," to the home-comers Mr. Adair said: "I promised to 'bring home the bacon' and I did. We owe all thanks to the generous hearted Atlanta citi zens, who through their donations enabled us to put up the fight we did. I am sure that they will make next year's convention of the Shrin ers the greatest and most memorable ever held by that body.” When the Yaarabs stepped off tehir train they were accorded a demon stration such a? has not been sent ringing down the streets and avenues of this city in many years. March to Terminal Station. All local Shriners. of whom there are about 700, were summoned to be at the Masonic Temple at 12:15 o'clock sharp with fezes on and all the other trappings of their order. At this meeting place also came the brass bands, the elephant and the camels, as well as thousands of other persons. The entire body formed in procession and march to the Terminal Station. Apprehension as to the actions of the animals in the great excitement which will attend this processioikwas expressed by park animal keepers, however, on this occasion their ex cuses would not he accepted by C. H. Esslg. of the Reception Commit tee. Mr Esslg. in outlining the great demonstration, declaring that it would be the most overwhelming ever ac corded to a returning Atlanta citi zen. "In the first place, every lovai Shriner will be In the howling mob," he said. "Summonses have been is sued to them numbering nearly 700 in all They have been asked to at tend In their fezes and other regalia. “Then there will be thousands of other citizens who will Join in the reception simply through their pa triotic spirit, and their desire In show ing their appreciation of the good work done by Potentate Adair and his band of Yaarabs.

RIVAL IN RACE, DELAYED, TRIES TO KILL HIMSELF Great Throng Greets Daring Bird- man on Early Morning Arrival in Havana. Continued on Page 2 .Column*8* KEY WEST, May 17.—In a flight which compares in daring with any other ever made on the North Amer ican continent, Domingo Rosillo, an obscure young Cuban aviator, flew over the Gulf of Mexico from here to Havana, Cuba, SO miles away, in a Moissant aeroplane, winning the $10,- 000 prize offered by the Havana Mu nicipal Council for the first flight be tween the cities. Rosillo left Key W 7 est at 5:35 a. m. and landed in Ha vana at 8:15 a. m. Heaving the terminal of the East Coast Railroad in a gale of wind at 5:85 o’clock Rosillo sicimmed across the intervening stretch of turbulent water without any mishap. A sensational and dramatic inci dent. which almost cost a human life, attended the start of the flight. Rival Threatens Suicide. Augustine Parla, another aviator who was to race across the gulf with Rosillo. attempted to have the daring little Cuban abandon the flight for to-day because of the high wind and roughness of the water. W’hen Parla saw that Rosillo was determined to start he began to overhaul his Curtiss biplane. Friends intervened, saying: •'It would be sure death to start In this gale, and if you should fall into the water the waves are so high you would be drowned.” Parla persisted and finally his friends had to restrain him forcibly. Parla. in desperation, pulled a pis tol from his pocket and, placing the weapon against his forehead, threat ened to kill himself unless he was al lowed to start. Friends took the weapon from him. Wind Held Plane Down. The aviator then entered his ma chine, which had been equipped with pontoons and which rested on the surface of the water. The wind was so high, however, that the aeroplane would not rise, and the wires holding the pontoons snapped. Waves then began splashing over the machine and all hope of starting the flight was lost. Meanwhile Rosillo. who had got a flying start, had disappeared In a southwesterly direction, bucking a stiff wind that threatened to send his aeroplane crashing upon the water. A great crowd gathered to see the aviators start, but on account of the wind and the choppy sea it was be lieved that neither man would at tempt a flight.’ At 5 o’clock RosUlo sent a radio telegram to Morro Cas tle asking after the condition of the weather off the Cuban Coast. The reply came back that flying condi tions there were ideal. “That settles it.’’ exclaimed Ro sillo. “I’ll start, for I promised to make the flight before Sunday, and I am going to do it or die trying.” For a while the Cuban tinkered with his machine, testing stays and seeing that all was durable for the wind test it was soon to go through. When he clambered into the machine and gave word to his mechanician that he was ready to start a great cheer went up. The machine arose through the air at the height of about 100 feet, and then, with the grace of a swallow, darted southward. Rosillo waved his hand and then gave his full atten tion to the aeroplane. Above him the sky was grgy with storm clouds, be low him the sea was tossed and tum bled bit the jsrtncU BATTLE AT New Orleans Scores Two Runs in First—Atlanta Ties It in the Fourth. NEW ORLEANS.
