More than 100 were issued. The Solicitor would not say wheth er he would introduce all of them, but said he would have them in readi ness. Several person* whose names have not appeared in connection with the case have been asked to testify. It became known also that expert testimony on handwriting and finger prints would play an important part In the hearing by the Grand Jury. No less than three famous finger-print and handwriting experts have been called into the case by Mr. Dorsey, and the Arrival on the scene Wednes day of the be.«t finger-print expert with the Bprns agency established 'beyond any doubt that ' finger prints*' and "haridwrlting" would be strong cards to be ployed by the State. Tobi^ said Wednesday his actions have been misunderstood, and tint criticism of his failure to work with the Atlanta detectives was due to a misapprehension. He explained his position in the following statement to The Georgian: “When 1 came here. 1 started T .o work independently, without asking any information from Atlanta detec ts • - 1 have been criticised, but 1 think the critcism was unjust. It was not egotism, but delicacy, that kept rre from going to them. “They had been working on the c ase over three weeks. 1 came. Now. if i had gone to them and said, 'Gentlemen, please give me all the information you got In your three weeks' work,’ don't you think that would require an unusual amount of nerve Denies He Made Criticism. If 1 were working on a case, and after three weeks a detective from another place should come to me and usk for all m.v information, 1 woulcf think he had lots of nerve. It was not egotism on my part it simply required more nerve than I had "I also have been criticised for criticising the other men on the case.

I said they had ov erlooked two good clew® If they had passed up the finger prints and thumb prints, but 1 did not say they had pasted them up. 1 still say two good clew® were overlooked, providing the thumb prints and finger prints were not traced, but. ipind you, 1 do not say they were not taken up.

Grubb has reserved his derision In the Huff contempt case, and will not an nounce II unlil he has had more op portunity to study the evidence and compare It «lth the letters sent by Colonel VV. A, Huff to Judge Bmory Speer las! summer. He left this aft ernoon for Birmingham, Ala.. his home. The defendant did not offer any wit nesses, though going on the stand himself.

Tifton Store Burns, With $20,000 Loss Declaring that Moderator Dr. J. S. Lyons was running the Southern ITesbyterian Assembly “with a st’eam roller like a political convention,’’ Dr. W. M. McPheetera, of Columbia. S. <\, chairman of the Committee on Education and one of the leading figures in the Assembly, resigned as 1 head of the committee, placed his re port in the hands of the clerk, and j retired from the deliberations of the | body. Dr. McPheeter®’ action came at the ( lose of a lengthy dispute over par liamentary law with the moderator, touching upon his right to propose a substitute to the minority report of the committee on the Federal Coun cil of Churches. Twice refused permission to broach his substitute, and failing to get the approval of the house when C. II. Jones, of Oklahoma, appealed from the parliamentary decision of the moderator. I)r. McPheeters finally gained the floor on a question of per sonal privilege. Personalities Injected. It was then that personalities were injected Into his dispute with the moderator. Expressing his high per sonal regard for Dr. J rf yons, Dr. Mc- Pheeters said: “But he can not change the role® of procedure under which the As sembly works. All that is necesasry to reduce this gathering to one sim ilar to a political convention, with its steam roller methods, are actions such as the moderator has taken, to Toroid discussion and rush to a vote a ques tion upon which the Assembly is di vided. without an oDportunity for discussion by those opposing it.” He was interrupted by the gavel of Moderator Lyons. “1 will call the doctor to order,” said the moderator. “What he is sav ing is a reflection on the personal In tegrity of the moderator, and I cannot listen to it .with equanimity. The doctor can not continue.” Dr. McPneeter® turned and faced Dr. Lyons, at the same time drawing his conpmittec report from his pocket. Retires From Assembly. “The moderator has done me the honor to make me chairman of hi* committee on education.” declared Dr. McPheeters, “but I can not stand this. T will place mv report in the hands of the clerk of this Assembly and resign as head of the committee. I will re tire from the deliberations of this body and make my explanations to my Presbytery.” Dr. McPheeters handed hi® report to the clerk and hurried from the room. "The doctor must understand,” said Dr Lyons, “that his report is the property of the Assembly, and that he must get the consent of the commit tee before he can retire. I will enter tain a motion.” Dr. Thomas S. ('lyre, ex-moderator, arose and moved that Dr. McPheeters be permitted to retire and that the clerk read his report. Dries of “No! No!” mingled with the voices of Moderator Lyons’ £^d- herents shouting in the affirmative Rtcess Ends Uproar. Half a dozen men gained their feet and clamored for recognition, and Moderator Lyons postponed action on Dr. Clyce’n motion until the aft ernoon session. Dr. McPheeters’ characterization of the manner in which Dr. Lyons conducted the Assembly as “steam roller methods” came immediately aftdr the minority report of the com mittee on the Federal Council of Churches, presented by Dr. T. M. Lowry, of Memphis, was voted down. When the vote was announced, Dr. McPheeters gained the floor and said he desired to offer a substitute. Dr. Lyon® ruled that the substi tute was out of order, and that the question of the adoption of the ma jority report should take precedence over all other business. Dr. McPheeters insisted that his amendment was in order, and ap pealed to Dr. G. B. Strickler, of Vir ginia. a noted parliamentarian, who sustained his contention. Charges Political Method®. "I do not recognize the doctor." de clared the moderator. “I explained the rules under which we are pro ceeding several days ago, and they will be enforced." Dr. McPheeters turned to the house, and shaking his hand in the air shouted: "He is using the steam roller like a political convention!” The moderator’s gavel descended and be refused to recognize any one of the dozens of men who leaped to their feet from all part® of the house. He railed for a vote on the adoption of the majority report of the commit- tee on the Federal Council of Churches. )x hioh recommended that the Southern Church continue its af filiation xvith that body. A viva voce vote \x as taken by the moderator, and the report declared adopted. A standing vote was taken and the majority report declared adopted by a vote of 138 to 27. Prior to the dispute and the final adoption of the report several ad dresses were delivered in favor of each report. Dr. T. S. Clyce, retir ing moderator, and Dr. Thornton Whaling, of South Carolina, spoke in favor of the adoption of the majority report and the continuation of rela tions xvith the Federal Council. Dr. T. M. Lowry pleaded for the adoption of the minority report. Reference to Dr. Shadier Matthews, of Chicago, president of the Federal Council, whose incumbency has form ed the basis of much of the opposi tion to the’Southern Church continu ing in the Council, was made by Dr. Clyce and Dr. Whaling. Both de clared that Dr. Matthexvs was but a mere incident, who easily could be brushed aside. Dr. Clyce urged ac tion. protesting the re-election of Dr. Matthews and against undue political activity on the part of the Council. WhiteCity Park Now Open TIFTON. GA..

GA., May 22.—Citizens and taxpayers of Griffin are to-day protesting the purchase of an auto fire truck by the City Council despite the opposition of Mayor J. H. Smith.

The taxpayers are objecting to the plan of Council to make a cash pay ment for the truck, which will de plete the surplus in the city treas ury. It is claimed that all city im provements will be at a standstill and obligations of the city that fall due in a month or so will be improvlded for. Citizens are backing up the Mayor in his fight. Battleship Is Best Peace Dove, He Says CHICAGO, May 22.—“Battleships are the best peace doves. Under the present grape juice policy our navy will not long hold its position as sec ond in the world. A phantom navy with ships named 'Friendship' and 'Love’ is not the kind of navy we need.” These things were said by former Congressman George Edmund Foss, who was chairman of the committee on naval affairs, in an address last night. United Assembly Adopts New Financial System. What was termed the “greatest for ward step in the history of the church” xx as taken at the closing ses sion of the United Presbyterian As- semblx Thursday morning, in th> or ganization of the Missionary and Efficient Committee." This committee will principally act as a clearing house for all funds of the church It absorbs the Wav® and Means Committee, xs^ich has been in existence for 50 years, and the “Mil lion-Dollar Committee." The Missionary and Efficienscy Committee xxffll be composed of rep resentatives of each of the boards of the church. An "every member can vass " for funds will be inaugurated by the new committee. Congregational treasurers will be required to make monthly remittances of all mission funds to the financial agents of their respective presbyte ries, and the financial agents must remit, in turn to the Missionary and Efficiency Committee on the 10th of each month. The committee will re mit on the 20th of each month to the treasurers of the various boards. Monthly statements will be publisher of all funds received and disbursed. A new motto for the coming year was adopted. It was proposed by Dr. John A. Wilson, of Pittsburg, and is: “The World for Christ and a Tithe of Our Income for Missions." Last year’s watchword was: “Twenty-five Thousand Souls for Christ; a Million Dollars for Mis sions.” A telegram was read from Dr. R. J. Miller, editor for 32 years* of The Christian Union Herald, offering his resignation. This periodical was bit terly attacked a few days ago by the Board of Publcation. It was not a personal attack on Dr. Miller, how ever The resignation was not ac cepted. Something of a sensation occurred in the General Assembly of the Pres byterian Church. U. S. A., this after noon when announcement was made that Dr. Duncan J. McMillan, of New York, Secretary of the Board of Church. Erection, believed the Assem bly had acted illegally in diverting the John S. Kennedy memorial fund, and for that reason had resigned. Announcement of the resignation was made to the general Assembly by Dr. John F. Patterson, of Orange. N J., Chairman of the Board of Church Erection. In his report Dr. Patterson recommended that Dr. Mc Millan’s resignation be accepted. The Assembly voted, however, to refer the resignation to the whole Board of Church Erection. Reference was ordered on the resignation, according to the concen sus of opinion, in order to “save Dr. McMillan's face”« before the Assem bly. Dr. McMillan’s great work is recognized generally, but he is con sidered to be out of harmony with many of the present leaders* The reference on his resignation xvas tan tamount to an acceptance, as the Board of Church Erection will soon fill his place. Yesterday the Assembly voted to make the John S. Kennedy memorial fund part of the loan fund, by which it would be parceled out to needy churches under promise of repay ment. Hitherto it had been kept as an endowment fund, the income only being expended. Dr. McMillan took the ground that the fund, which amounted to $500,000, should remain as a permanent fund. He said the Assembly had acted illegal^ in diverting it, and therefore he could not continue to serve as sec retary of the Board of Church Erec tion. ’Ohio Aided Wilson Only to Beat Harmon’ '5 PEICEIEUUSU Only Ridicule for Secretary’s " No-Shi ps-Ti II-We’re-I n vaded” Policy. .CINCINNATI, May 32.—-The Cin- cinnati Times-Star, owned and edited by ex-President Taft’s brother, Charles P.

Professional lobbyists bad no use for the man who assisted in driv ing them from the State house at ( By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. WASHINGTON, May 22.—“The worst enemy of our country’s peace is he who makes it easy and safe for here enemies to attack her.” This is the slashing epigram with which a commander of the United States Navy epitomizes the recent at titude of the American Secretary of State. It is perfectly true that the men who are ready to fight for our coun try when necessary are not mucli enamored at this time of the man who is always ready to talk for it. Mr. Bryan’s efforts to saddle upon certain "interests” of the country the frank apprehension of all our people over international complications is immediately followed by an attack upon those American newspapers who tell the truth and inform the people. Bryan Orator, Not Diplomat. As a matter of fact, Mr. Bryan’s diplomatic career, from his prema ture congratulation of Ambassador Wilson in Mexico and his unfortu nate allusions to home rule on St. Patrick’s Day, and his untactful atti tude toward China, down to his last undiplomatic remark about the can non scandals in the German Govern ment, have not been so much of the caliber of a Prime Minister and diplo mat as of an oratorical enthusiast. Before Mr. Bryan begins to abuse the newspapers that have kept his people informed apd have done more than any other influence to stimulate the navy and the army, he had bet ter understand just how public opin ion holds his own utterances and how lightly it estimates his effectiveness as a Secretary of State. Judging from the bomments of leading newspapers in foreign couilr tries, other governments than our own regard Mr. Bryan’s standing as a practical statesman with a great deal of open amusement. Laughed at Around World. The bona fide statement of Mr. Bryan at the naval banquet that he would never b r willing to indorse a larger navy until our country was in vaded has been laughed at around the world. His other equally humiliating con fession as the Prime Minister of our Government that “nothing will force him to fight” is generally regarded as diminishing the fighting prestige and the individual force of our country among other nations. No public voice expresses this de precatory opinion of-Mr. Bryan’s sen timental folly more strongly than The Army and Navy Journal, which voices a ringing protest and criticism. The recent Army and Navy Journal said of Mr. Bryan that his ignorance equaled his sincerity and that his ut terances have a tendency to promote the very wars they seek to avoid.

Li Negro Assailant of Woman Saved by Deputies in Bullet- Riddled Jail. HIAWATHA. KANS., May 22.—To avenge the attack on a white woman of Fails City. Nebr.. five motor car loads of men, armed with shotguns, revolvers 1 , sledge hammers and bat tering rams, drove here from the Ne braska tow’n at 2 o'clock this morn ing. They surrounded the Jail and demanded the surrender of Walter Ballew, a negro. pouring bullets through the windows. There is a steel door between the jailer’s residence and the entrance to the Jail. In this corridor, behind this steel door, the deputies were on,guard with guns and plenty of ammunition When the mob saw it would be dangerous to gain entrance that way they attempted to batter down an other outside door. Cooler residents of Hiawatha per suaded the Nebraskans to give up their attempt without further vio lence. This morning the county Jail pre sents the appearance of a block house following a siege. It was the second attempt to storm the Jail. There were 40 or 60 men here Tuesday morning, but they were persuaded to go home It is reported that petftions were being circulated in Falls City, in which the signers bound themselves to drive every negro from the city. Provides Suspension Of Prison Sentences A bill will be introduced in the Georgia Assembly by Senator M. C. Tarver, of Whitefield, to legalize sus pension of sentence and provide pro bation officers. “I am convinced that the measure, if passed, will cause a reformation of our penal statutes, second only in value to our convict lease system,” says Senator Tarver. “On June 1, 1911, there were 2,- 688 convicts in the penitentiary, 1,- 304 were between the ages of 20 and 29 years—practically 50 per cent. It is hard to "believe that out of that number of young men, nearly all h first offenders, the judges could not V have found hundreds that might have been reclaimed by being given, under the guardianship of the law, another chance.” Dynamiter Bares Plot of Mill Men BOSTON. May 22.—John J. Breen, the undertaker who has confessed that he distributed dynamite at Law rence during the textile strike of 1912. again took the stand when the trial of President William Wood, of the American Woolen Company.
