Poole and Geibel; Horton and Smith Umpires. Moran and Bar. 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.

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 nia* 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.
