Chairman of Building Board, De
claring Fund Illegally Di
verted, Quits.
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,
X. 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 was 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 repaj -
ment. Hitherto it had been kept as
an endowment fund, the income only
being expendc*d.
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
illegally in diverting it, and therefore
he could not continue to serve as sec
retary of the Board of Church Erec
tion.

Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
TOKIO, May 22.—The reply of the
United States Government to the rep
resentations of Japan relative to the
anti-alien land law in California is
considered unfavorable. This was
learned to-day at the Foreign Office.
Part of the reply to-day became
known. It denies any intended in
fringement of Japanese treaty rights.
The United States Government re
fused to initiate any action in the
Supreme Court to test the validity of
the action of the California Legisla
ture and Governor Johnson, who
signed the law.
The Japanese government has sent
instructions to Ambassador Chinda to
press more vigorously the claims of
the Japanese.
In its communication to the Japan
ese Ambassador the Foreign Office
urges the necessity of impressing up
on Secretary of State Bryan Japan’s
Interpretation of the existing treaty
between this country and the United
States.
Another feature of the reply which
is distasteful to Japan is the pro
posal to submit the anti-alien land
law' to a referendum vote in Califor

Bandits and Police
In Pistol Battle in
New York Streets
NEW YORK, May 22.—A running
fight in the streets of New York to
day accompanied a hold-up when
four armed Italian bandits attacked
James T. Wintress, a bank messenger
who was carrying $10,000 In a car
riage from his bank to the Nathan
Manufacturing Company. Before Win
tress could produce a weapon he had
been twice wounded.
Sergeant Sheehan and Patrolman
Finnegan, the first officers on 'he
Scene, opened Are on the robbers,
wounding two of them. The other
two fled, firing at the policemen with
rifles.
Wintress was taken to the Harlem
Hospital, where it was found his con
dition was critical.
THE WEATHER.
Forecast for Atlanta and
Georgia—Local showers Thurs
day and probably Friday.
Crowds Rush to Formal Opening
of Atlanta’s ‘Beach’—Jennie
Perkerson Watches Others,
Just as old Sol shot his golden rays
above the horizon, two dull splashes
in the limpid waters of Piedmont
Park sounded, marking the formal
opening of that resort for the sum
mer.
Pretty Lillian Smith and her fair
sister, Frances, in chic bathing cos
tumes plunged downward from the
springboard in the new lake. The
waters shot upward high for the first
time. And thus was re-christ^ned the
pool which will form Atlanta’s play
ground for the summer months.
Dan Carey on Honeymoon.
As the young day grew, the crowds
increased. Spectators began to gath
er on the grassy banks. Various per
sons began to ask for Dan Carey, the
General Manager of Parks, who start
ed the public bathing there years ago.
Dave Gillespie answered:
‘He’s on his honeymoon .”
More than 500 enjoyed the first
day's bathing. The weather was warm
and the water was fine, and every
body was right in the swim.
the early morning specta
tors was Jennie Perkerson. the 11-
year-olrl girl who won all the races
last year. She was on hand at 5
o’clock, but was without her bathing
suit, and therefore stayed on the bank.
Two lifesaver* were on duty, the
same as In midseason. Lifesaver Mc
Dermott t*pent the entire morning
diving, springing as far as possible
with only one foot to leap with. "He’s
a fine lifesaver,” said Superintendent
Gillespie. “He gets over the water
fast because he has only one leg to
carry.”
"Three men have kept tab on the
number of bathers, and they have
counted up nearly 500," said Gillespie.
"There’ll be fully that many by the
time you get back to town. This is *
better record than opening morning
laf*t year, when we had only about 250
School Children In.
“I’m looking for 500 school children
this afternoon, for they like the place.
The season has started in fine shape,
and I believe it will be the bathing
lake’s most popular year.”
At noon 42,000,00ft gallons of water
had been run into the lake and It still
was ten inches below' the normal
mark. The city chemist went out and
took away a sample bottle for an
alysis. The analysis Is hardly more
than a formality, since the lake is suf
ficiently large for the water to purify
itself.
Understood That Cases Will Be
Brought Separately, With One
Accused as Accomplice.
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey
announced Thursday afternoon that
he was prepared to go before the
Grand Jury Friday morning with his
strongest evidence in the case of Leo
M. Frank and New t Lee, held in con
nection with the murder of Mary Pha-
gan.
Although Mr. Dorsey would not dis
cuss the form in which the cases
would be presented, it was reliably
stated they w’ould be heard separate
ly and the charge against one would
be that he was an accessory to the
fact.
Neither of the defendants will go
before the jury. Mr. Dorsey said that
In the event any move was made to
introduce evidence for the defense he
was prepared to block it. He said he
had looked up Supreme Court, de
cisions on this question, because w*hen
the Grand Jury was asked to indict
Dr. W. H. Gillem for beating W. H.
Johnson the jury in his absence had
allowed Dr. Gillem to come before it,
which, he said, was contrary to all
law.
Twelve to Govern Action.
The opinion of 12 of the 21 jury
men will govern the action of the
body. There can be no minority, said
the Solicitor. If 12 of the men indict
or decline to indict, the other Jurors
have to sign the “true” or “no bill”
with the 12. Eighteen of the 21 con
stitute a quorum.
The Solicitor said It w r ould be im
possible to present all the evidence in
one day, and that it might be neces
sary to carry the investigation over
into the next week. He said, how
ever, that it was not Improbable the
strongest evidence he had would be
presented the first day, and if the jury
considered it sufficiently strong, it
could return an indictment without
hearing the other evidence.
Gets Finger Print Evidence.
He said for the last few r days his
case had beefi complete, with the ex
ception of preparing the testimony
accumulated and some later impor
tant facts brought out by finger-print
and handwriting experts. Several
witnesses, whose identity has been
carefully guarded, would give evi
dence that no one outside of his of
fice was aware of, said the Solicitor.
C. Wf Tobie, of the Burns Agency,
stated Thursday afternoon that he
was making the most satisfactory
progress. He said it was only a ques
tion of a few more days when he
would have the case in a definite, tan
gible shape.
The Solicitor would not discuss the
findings of P. A. Flak, the finger-print
expert from New York, other than to
say that nothing had developed from
it that would make him contemplate
a change in his plan to present the
cases to the Grand Jury Friday.
Burns Forces Augmented.
The Burns forces have been aug
mented by a finger-print and hand
writing expert and another detective.
The three were closeted with the ne
gro. Newt Lee, for more than an hour
Wednesday. Neither would discuss
the interview.
L. J. Fletcher. Bertillon expert at
the Federal prison, was drawn into
the case by Solicitor Dorsey Wednes
day.
Mr. Fletcher is a handwriting ex
pert as well. He has been connected
with the Government for several
years and has made an intimate
study of criminology. He worked
with Mr. Dorsey’s expert, Flak, when
he examined articles for finger prints
at the Solicitor’s office Wednesday
night.
