THE ATLANTA GLOTiOTAN AND NEWS.
Relief Secretary Declares Money-1
Mad Corporations Take Better
Care of Their Employees.
A hitter attack on what was de
scribed ms the niggardly policy of the
church in dealing with its ministers
was made by William H. Foulkes, of
Philadelphia, secretary of the Minis
terial Relief and Sustentatlon Board,
at Monday's session of the Northern
Presbyterian Assembly.
That the Presbyterian Church, after
paying its ministers an average sal
ary of only $730 a year, should make
no adequate provision for the time
of their disability he regarded as an
indictment more severe than could
be made against any money-mad cor
poration in the country.
He charged that ministers of the
church are in a bondage of fear and
that they are not treated even with
common humanity.
“One criticism made of our min
isters." he said, “is that they are not
good business men. It is said that
too many of them are tempted by
these get-rich-quick financial schemes
by which they hope to reap profits
of 20 to 2. r » per cent on their modest
investments instead of 4 or 6 per cent
they more reasonably should expect.
Average Salary Only $730.
“But is this to be wondered at when
one considers that the average sal
ary of a Presbyterian minister is only
$730? He gets so little that 4 per
cent on his savings would yield prac
tically nothing.
“I am not condoning him fdr bring
ing shame upo himself and upon the
ministry, but conditions under which
he works sliould be changed and pro
vision made for the time of his dis
ability.
The price of fuel and provisions
has gone up instead of going dow n.
The minister must buy clothes and
must care for the needs of a growing
family. He must buy books and con
tribute to benevolences which moot
him before they meet the people of
his church. Ho* must be prepared
for times of sickness and death. All
this he has to do on the average sal
ary of $73n a year. He must live so
that the richest of his church may
not despise him nor the poorest envy
hitti.
"When a minister can do this he
has reached the pinnacle of financial
statesmanship.
"Medicine, law, civil engineering
promise for those who follow in these
professions wealth or a comfortable
living for old age. as well as glory
and fame and dominion for middle
“The ministry draws by reason of
its most noble mission. 1 would not
give up the privilege of preaching the
Gospel to the lost and the dying for
everything else in the world.
Offers Little But Poverty.
"Yet the ministry, once the preach
er passes the meridian of life, offers
little but poverty and dependence.
"Young men will continue to enlist
In the sacred cause. Nothing can
prevent that But they will enlist
with a blunted enthusiasm, for they
know that the church will leave them
poverty-stricken and helpless.”
Mr. Foulkes is engaged in a cam
paign for a $10,000,000 relief and sus-
tentation fund to be used in caring
for the aged ministers of the church
and for the widows and families of
those who are taken by desth.
Dr. Van Dyke Prepares

Expectant Mother
Women of Experience Advise the Use of
Mother's Friend.
There is a certain degree of trepida-
”on m the minds of most women in re
gard to the subject of motherhood The
longing to possess is often contradicted
by tne inherent fear of a period of dis
tress %
But theie need be no such dread in
view of the fact that we have a most
noble remedy in what is known as
Mother's Friend This is an external
application that has a wonderful influ
ence and control over the muscular tis
sues of the abdomen By its daily use
the muscles, cords, tendons and liga
ments all g tlv expand without the
slightest strain: there is no pain, no
r.auaea, no nervousness, what was
dreaded as a severe physical ordeal be
comes a calm, serene. Joyful anticipa
tion that has its impress such as our
foremost teachers of Eugenics are striv
ing to drill into theaninds of the present
generation
In almost every community there are
women who have used Mother s Friend,
and they are the ones that recovered
quickly, conserved their health and
strength to thus preside over families
destined by every rule of physiology and

"elect infant clause" recommended
that the deliverance of the Assembly
of 1902 he reiterated; that the Scrip
tures warrant the belief that all in
fants dying in infancy are saved, and
that in view of this no recommenda
tion regarding any change in the Con
fession of Faith be handed down to
the presbyteries touching the "elect
Infant clause.”
Dr. W. M McPheeters. of Colum
bia. cautioned against the adoption of
the report.
Speaking for the report of the com
mittee of which he is chairman, Dr
T. S. Clyce said the Confession of
Faith in its entirety suits him, but the
passage conveying the teaching of tne
church on the election of infants is
not dear; that the people are de
manding a change of expression, many
wanting it stricken from the confes
sion.
The church, he said, gives forth the
hope that all infants dying in Infancy
are saved, and that it is the duty of
the church to express that hope.
Speaking again. Dr. McPheeters
urged that all reference to the As
sembly of 1902 be stricken from the
report of the committee and leave
the report to recommend that no sug
gested amendment be sent down to
the presbyteries on this question.
Difference of Opinion.
Remarks from a number of com
missioners were heard, some speak
ing in favor of the report and others
In favor of the amendment.
When the call for the question came,
the vote was taken first on the
amendment offered by Dr. McPhee
ters and the amendment was lost.
Before the vota on the report could
be taken, Dr. J. M. Wells offered as a
substitute’ to the report the recom
mendation that the whole of the "elect
infant clause" be stricken from the
Confession of Faith.
The vote was taken and the sub
stitute was lost.
No recommendation for change in
the. "elect infant clause" is sent down
to the presbyteries, and the Assem
bly reaffirmed the action of the As
sembly of 1902.
The remainder of the session was
devoted to addresses and reports.
United Church Takes
Stand for Workingman.
The General Assembly of the Unit
ed Presbyterian Church resumed its
session Monday morning at 9 o’clock
at the Central Presbyterian Church.
The first report heard was that of the
committee on reform. This was a
special committee, composed of five
I members, three ministers and two
j elders, as follows; Rev. J. R. Jamie

! Rev. R. M McCracken. Elders John
j Brownlee and Peter Broth^rton Three
j papers had been referred to this com-
I mlttee. the report of the permanent
I committee on temperance and othei
j reforms, report of committee on Sab
bath reforms and a communication
from the Federal Council of Chris
tian Churches in America, relative to
the exposition at San Francisco In
1915.
The report said that the committee
finds much to encourage it in the re
view of conditions that confront the
church to-day in civil, social, moral
and religious life, and in various
agencies employed in. bettering condi
tions. They rejoice in the "enactment
of the Webb-Kenyon interstate com
merce bill In the closing days of the
last Congress, and its passage over
the veto of the President by an over
whelming vote by both branches of
< ’ongress, w hich was a severe blow to

Dr. Stone Makes
Reply to His Critics.
The reply of Dr. John T. Stone to
the ory of “politics” in his election as
moderator and a new proposal for
the federation of the Presbyterian
churches of America were the import
ant features of Monday’s session of
the Northern Assembly in the Bap
tist Tabernacle.
Dr. Stone deplored the introduction
of personalities into the conferences
of the Assembly, but would not com
ment at length on the charge that his
election as a "dark horse" had been
prearranged for six weeks before the
meeting of the Assembly.
"If any have erred in judgment, let
us overlook it. or, better still, look not
at it.” he admonished the commis
sioners. "1 wish to state that all 1
have to say is that 1 believe in God.
I believe in my brethren and I be
lieve in doing my duty.”
Deny Charges.
Dr. W R. King, of .Monmouth. Ill.,
who made the nominating speech in
behalf of Dr. Stone, said in regard to
the charge that politics had been
played in the selection of the Chicago
man:
■ It is absolutely false. I nominat d
him simply and solely because I tv
Warded him as the best man. Then
was no chicanery or trickery or po
litical prearrangement of any sort. I
wish to say that the story is the cru-
elest sort of an injustice, both ,to Dr.
Stone and to the persons who assisted
in choosing him to lead the delibera
tions of the Assembly."
W. T. Ellis, who seconded the nom
ination. said:
"If there is a particle of truth in the
story that Dr. Stone's nomination was
in any way prearranged, then, obv?
ousiv. since we explicitly stated to th
contrary, neither Dr Kin*- nor myself
is a gentleman or a sincere «"hristlan.
Therefore, the subject is out of the
realm of discussion on my part.’’

Eager to Boost, Atlanta.
Themselves bubbling over with the
Atlanta spirit, the Old Guard mem
bers left looking forward to a good
time for themselves and good adver
tising for their home town.
"We’ll do everything on earth we
can to boost the town.” said C. P.
Byrd, first liteutenant of Company A.
"Atlanta first, last and always is the
motto of the Old Guard. 1 think this
is as big an advertisement for At
lanta as the Shriners’ convention will
be.”
"Everybody knows the Atlanta
spirit that permeates us all, but they
will know it better before we get
back,’’ said P. F. Clarke, first lieu
tenant of Company B.
Colonel J. F. Burke, commander,
gave out the following Interview:
Big Time in Boston.
"The big time will be at the ban
quet in Boston, after we. a Southern
battalion, have escorted the Union
veterans over their own city. I w ill
be one of the speakers at the banquet,
and l intend to tell them something.
1 intend to answer, in the proper way,
the old statement that the South w*as

certain points of history that have not
been made as prominent as they
should be.”
"We’ll fight for Atlanta," said H. M.
Beutell.
Edmund W. Martin said: "We are
going to do our best to please our
friends, the Yankees, to astonish them
with our friendship and invite them
dow n here. Keep alive the memories
of the past, and peace at present—
those are my sentiments.”

Lounsbury. "I will gq to the Peeks-

Captain W. M. Crumley, of the colo
nel's staff, put it this way: "We are
going to give them just as hot a time
up there as they gave us in Virginia
50 wars ago.”
And this is what Ben Lee Crew, the
color bearer, intends to do: "That big
white banner with the gold fringe
weighs 40 pounds, so I am going to
boost Atlanta with 4ft pounds of
steam. Atlanta will be heard from."
Four members of the Old Guard
have been selected as the orators for
all occasions. They are Colonel J. F.
Burke, Harrison Jones, J. R. Smith
and W. S. Wit ham.
Only Four “Seventy-niners.”
Mr. Witham. sometimes known as
"Wall Street Witham. the Banking
Trust." is also the poet and humorist
of the Old Guard. He told his board
of directors good-bye and went away,
saying. "I'm the most important man
in the whole Guard, for I am going to
carry the big bass drum."
Only four "Seventy-niners”—those
who made the trip 34 years ago—left
on the present tour. They were Colo
nel J. F. Burke. C. P. Byrd. P. F
Clarke and Chief W. B. Cummings.
The Old Guard members wore their
resplendent full dress uniform, which
was never on parade before. It con
sists of broadcloth, moleskin jackets,
navy blue trousers with white and
gold stripes, gold epaulets, Hungarian
shakos and real swords Every gold
button bears the inscription. "Old
Guard—Gate City Guard, 1855.” and
every sword has the engraving. “Old
Guard. Georgia."
At the Terminal ^ crowd estimated
at 1.500 gathered to cheer the Old
Guard on their way. The Guard 'as

moving pictures. Then they told their
friends good-bye, wiped the perspira

. LONGSTREET
PLEADS IN SENATE
Declares She Was Made Victim of
Power Company and Political
Spoilsmen.
WASHINGTON, May 19.—Mrs.
Helen D. Longstreet, of Gainesville,
Ga., who has been replaced as post
mistress there by an appointee of
President Wilson, appeared before the
sub-committee of the Senate Post-
office and Postroads Committee to
day to protest against her removal
from office.
She said that she was the victim
of the Georgia Railway and Power
Company, of Georgia, which she
fought, and of Democratic political
spoilsmen. She was appointed by
President Roosevelt, whom she call
ed "the first statesman of the land.”
“It remained for President Wilson’s
60-day Postmaster General to attack
my record,” said Mrs. Longstreet.
"The people who have been familiar
with my work for eight years are
more competent to judge of my effi
ciency than he."
Mrs. Longstreet says she has no
desire for office if the administration
does not want her, but she .will not
submit quietly to the attempt to
"blacken" her record. She presented
many indorsements and declared that
her office was "the best managed of
fice on the Western Continent."

general belief that they were signifi
cant and that some new plan was
being determined.
More Arrests Are Denied.
It was positively denied by the trio
of officers, however, that any new ar
rests were to be made.
"I don’t know* who it would be,” re
plied Chief Lanford when asked a di
rect question.
The first conference was held w*hen
Solicitor Dorsey summoned Chief
Lanford to his office. The two were
closeted for nearly an hour. Then
Chief Lanford called Detective Scott
to the police station. The Pinkerton
man. when he arrived, declared he
had no idea what the chief should
want with him. He and the chief
were behind closed doors for fully an
hour or more.
"We have merely been looking
over the evidence in a general way,"
said both officers when they emerged
from the office.
Asked as to the. nature of his con
ference w*ith the Solicitor, Chief Lan
ford made the same reply.
"We were just going over the evi
dence," he said.
No Friction, Chief Asserts.
Chief Lanford also denied that
there had been any friction among the
officials over the work on the mys
tery. or that the conferences had any
bearing along this line. As to a re
port that he had withheld evidence
from the Solicitor, Chief Lanford
said:
"I don’t remember of having with
held any evidence. Mr. Dorsey didn’t
ask me anything about this report
at all.”
The Solicitor and the Pinkertons
have held no conferences. Detective
Scott makes reports to Chief Lan
ford and these are submitted to the
Solicitor.
Detective Scott said Monday that
he still has five men at work on the
mystery, but refused to discuss any
particular line on which they are
working.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder an
nounced Monday morning that he had
received w*ord from William J. Burns
that he would arrive in America be
fore June 1 and would probably be on
the scene of the Phagan slaying be
fore that date.
Colonel Felder said the great de
tective had taken an unusual interest
in the Phagan mystery and he would
not be surprised to hear from him in
America any day soon.
"Burns is more interested in this
i-ase ihan I have known him to be ii:
another," said Colonel Felder. "I am
advised that he will hasten his re
turn from Europe on this account and
be in America some days before June
1. He will, of course, come direct to
Atlanta.
"The meantime developments since
his investigator has been here arc
more than satisfactory. The Burns
detective convinced Mr. Dorsey Sun
day afternoon that he had touched
upon heretofore overlooked evidence
of importance, and in his report to
day we expect valuable information."
Search Grows More Active.
With investigation into the mystery
more active Monday than it has been
at any time during the last two weeks,
the Solicitor was hopeful that impor
tant developments would be made
during the day.
The special representative of the
Burns agency was reported to have
struck upon an important and hereto
fore overlooked clew that throws a
new light on the case. He will make
a definite report at 11 o'clock this
morning at the office of the Solicitor,
when It is not unlikely some an
nouncement will be made.
Leo M. Frank, the factory superin
tendent, received a large number of
visitors at his cell in the Tower Sun
day. He would not discuss the case,
or even comment on it. He said his
health was fine and he had accus
tomed himself to the daily routine in
prison.

failed to connect him with writing
the notes found near the slain girl’s
body in the basement of the pencil
factory, according to City Detective
John Black, Monday morning. The
detective said that unless the negro
could be connected with the crime in
this way there was nothing against
him.

Hirsch Tells of Crash.
The accident occurred about 5:30
o’clock as the party were riding into
town od*er the beautiful East Lake
Road. Mr. Hirsch told the story of
the accident to a Georgian reporter
as follows:
"There is a little house and an em
bankment at the East Lake approach
to the crossing and I could not see. I
had slowed my machine down to a
walking pace and listened for a tr^in,
but could hear none. ■* *
"Just as we came upon the track
the iron monster was upon us. I do
not know at what rate it thundered
up. but it looked as big as all the
trains I have ever s*een combined into
one.
"We were almost on the track. I
shoved on my emergency and turned
my car as much as I could in the di
rection the train was going.
No Time to Leap.
“That was all that saved us. In
stead of absolutely demolishing us
the train sideswiped us. We all tried
to jump, but did not have time—we
were hurled out.
"Except for the shock none of us
were hurt to amount to anything.'
