Indorsement was given the Home
Mission Board by the adoption of the
report of the standing committee on
home missions by the Northern Pres
byterian Assembly Wednesday fore
noon.
The report paid high commendation
to the policies and the work of the
board. Its practically unanimous
adoption was somewhat of a surprls**.
in view of the criticism which had
been directed at the board before the
sessions of the Assembly began.
Included in the report was a resolu
tion calling upon President Wilson to
forbid the wearing of a badge or uni
form distinctive of any religious de
nomination by the teachers In Gov
ernment schools. The resolution was
added upon motion of Dr. C. A. Jan
vier. of Philadelphia.
Congressman Scott, of Kansas, op
posed it. on the ground that it would
mean the driving from many of the
schools of the Roman Catholic 8istera
who are doing a good work. The res
olution was identical with that adopt
ed by the United Presbyterians Tues
day.
To Reconsider a Vote.
Practically all of the forenoon ses
sion was given over to the report of
the committee on home missions and
it was announced Just before recess
was taken that a motion for reconsid
eration of the vote upon which the
report of the executive commission
mss* received Tuesday afternoon
would be entertained at 5 o’clock on
Wednesday afternoon.
This report recommended that the
department of church and country
life, one of the divisions of the home
mission work, be discontinued so far
as practicable.
Either ask me to get out or com
mend my work,” was the ultimatum
delivered to the assembly by Warren
H. Wilson, who is in charge of the
department of church and country
life of the Board of Home Missions..
Mr. Wilson was speaking in defense
of the department whose work the
assembly voted late Tuesday after
noon to “discontinue so far as prac
ticable.”
Issues an Ultimatum.
“The work can not be discontin
ued so far as practicable,’ ” declared
Mr. Wilson. “It either must be aban
doned altogether or be allowed to con
tinue under the present policy. You
can tell me to get out if you like. I’m
young man. It would not be any
loss to me. Nor am I dependent on
the church for employment.
“Those who oppose this church
and country life department are city
men. They are not acquainted with
conditions in the country. I dare say
none of them has milked a cow in
fifty years. The country life depart
ment is as essential as any other ac
tivity of the church. The depart
ment i« working for rural pastorates
and rural evangelism; without rural
pastorates religious work in the coun
try must languish. It is up to you to
say whether we shall abandon this
great work.”
All of the member* of the Home
Mlsison Board whose terms expired
this year were re-elected, with the
exception of Rev. 8. J. Nichols, re
signed. His place was left vacan
temporarily.
Charges of malfeasance In office
and usurpation of authority by the
Home Mission Board of the North
ern body of Presbyterians were an
swered in an impressive address by
the venerable general secretary of
the board, Dr. Charles L. Thompson,
at Wednesday morning’s session of
the Assembly.
The entire meeting was swept Into
•a volley of enthusiasm by the aged
an’s eloquent denial of the charges,
greeted him with a spontaneous
■outburst of cheering, which ran rife
,for five minutes, when, he resumed
’his scat unanimous appreciation of
Qrlumn-
Lawyers in Court Row Are Ar
raigned in Justice
Court.
Round two of the celebrated “Bat
tle in the Corridors; or They Didn’t
Know- He Had a Punch,” was fought
before Justice of the Peace Charles H.
Girardeau on Wednesday afternoon,
as per schedule, when Burton Smith,
Reuben Arnold and J. C. Cox were ar.
raigned before the justice on charges
of assault and battery preferred by W.
H. Byrd and C. W. Walton.
The three men were represented by
Attorneys Hill, Wright and Van Astor
Batchelor, and came back strong.
Smith, Arnold and Cox were in ex
cellent condition when they appeared 1
before Referee Girardeau, both ver
bally and mentally, and countered the
Insistent demand of the five for an
immediate hearing with the calm
statement that they would waive com
mitment and let their case go to the
Grand Jury.
Despite the objections of Walton’s
and Byrd’s seconds, Referee Girardeau
ruled that the blow was legal, and to
the great disgust of the army of fans
who had Journeyed from far and near
to witness the bout, calmly held
Smith, Arnold and Cox to await the
action of the Grand Jury.
Burton Smith Wears
A New Title Now.
To all friends of peace, greeting:
Be it known that Burton Smith,
lawyer, soldier, club president, has a
punch up his arm.
It is for the man who interrupts him
when he is talking to a witness.
It Ip for the friend of the man who
interrupts him when he is talking to
a witness.
It is for the friend of the friend of
the man who—oh. well, Atlanta found
out Tuesday that the punch was there,
and found out, as well, for whom it
exists. And Atlanta mentally jotted
down a few “don’ts” to govern it in
its future behavior toward Burton
Smith, lawyer, soldier, club president,
the man with the punch.
Just Like D’Artagnan.
The same “don’ts” probably would
apply to John Rldd. Lute McCarty,
or D’Artagnan, all of whom, like Mr.
Burton Smith, are known to the world
as men pacific and amiable enough
ordinarily, and slow' to anger, but
lions in conflict.
The Smith punch, as at least five
men will bear witness, is like
no other. As exemplified in the brisk
mill which enlivened the dull, rather
odorous corridora of the Thrower
Building Tuesday, it is something dif
ferent. It is not the solar plexus jab
of Fitzsimmons fame, nor yet the
erratic caress tjiat Battling Nelson
was wont to bestow in his palmiest
days. Ii is more like the swing of
the story book heroes, straight from
the shouider, with the unerring aim
of Christy Mathewaon'a best bali, and
with a swat like the crack o* doom.
A.« Mr. C. W. Walton and Mr. W
H Byrd, and three of their friends
who came athwart that punch Tues
day will testify.
What happened is guesswork Just
now. Eyewitnesses nay It was like
this.
ROUND 1—Smith’s right irm
•hot out, and, zowis! the man who
met tbs punch took ths count.
ROUND 2—8mith’s right arm
•hot out, and, zingo! the man who
mot the punoh said, ’’Good night,
nurts, I see ths stars!"
ROUND 3—Smith's right irm
shot out. and, ouch! ths man who
met it tumbled over in a troubled
sleep.
ROUND 4—Smith’s right arm
shot out, and "Eureka!" said the
pued on Page 2, Ggiumn 4.

Mystery piles up upon mystery in
the Phagan case.
Colonel Thomas B. Felder was ask
ed Wednesday afternoon by The Geor
gian to reply to rumors circulating on
the street, all making the general
charge that he had been retained by
friends of Leo Frank, prisoner in the
Phagan case, and that his object in
bringing the great detective, William
J. Burns, here, was not to aid the
prosecution.
Colonel Felder said:
“Any stories to that effect are silly
and ridiculous—if nothing worse.
Anybody who knows me or Mr. Burns
knows that we would not lend our
selves to any scheme to block justice.
Mr. Bums in hunting down a criminal
can not be stopped. He could have
made a million dollars by listening to
the importunities of friends of the
McNamaras in the dynamiting cases,
but he is above price.”
Loath to Discuss Rumors.
Mr. Felder said that he was loath to
discuss the rumors on the street be
cause he wanted to avoid injecting
into the case any issues that might
impede a speedy solution of the mys
tery.
He stated also that he had never
said he was retained by the family of
the dead girl, but that a committee of
citizens had been the moving spirits
In getting him to take hold and using
his influence to bring Burns’ talents
to bear on the case.
Mrs. J. W. Coleman, mother of
Mary Phagan, stated to a Georgian
reporter Wednesday that the state
ment that Colonel Felder had been
retained by her and her husband to
prosecute the search for the slayer
of Mary Phagan was Without foun
dation.
Mrs. Coleman said that the first she
heard of Colonel Felder taking up
the case was when she read of it*in a.
newspaper. 4
Saw Burn® Man Once.
Neither any of the murdered girl’s
relatives nor the citizens of Bellwood
got up the. fund to aid in the em
ployment of W’illiam J. Burns or his
agent, or in retaining Felder. She
stated further that she had seen the
Burns agent only once and then oniy
for about three minutes. Mrs. Cole
man said she was returning from
market about 8 o’clock Tuesday even
ing and the Burns detective stopped
her long enough to ask two or three
questions. This is the only time she
has seen him.
Mrs. Coleman and her step-daugh
ters believe that the guilty man Is
known, and while more evidence may
be necessary to convict him, they be
lieve this evidence will be brought to
light and Marv s death aveeged.
Mrs. Coleman thinks thaft Lee has
not told all he knows, but that he
slow in taking action against the
will If the police department gets be
hind him strong enough. She does
not think that Lee had a hand in the
crime, but thinks that he was hired
to dispose of the body afterward and
lost his nerve.
