RACE ENTRIES ON PAGE 2.
Chairman of Building Board, De
claring Fund Illegally Di
verted, Quits.
Something of a sensation occurred
in the Oeneral 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 Hoard 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 fo 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 Joan 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
illegally in diverting it. and therefore
he could not continue to serve as sec
retary of the Board of Church Erec
tion.

Violated.
TOKIO, May 22.—Emper
or Yoshihito of Japan was

with inflammation of the
lung-8. He has a high fever,
and eight court physicians
are constantly in attendance.
The Emperor has never had
a rugged constitution. He

Soeelal Cablt to Tht 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 teat the validity of
the action of the California Legisla
ture and Governor Johnson, who
signed the law.
The JapsnesejovrrarnenM^^^
Instructions to Ambassador c.....im
press more vigorously the claims of
the Japanese.
In It* 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
low to a referendum vote In Califor
nia.
Chinda Gives Notice
He Will Renew Protest.
WASHINGTON. May 22.—Viscount
Chinda, Japanese Ambassador to the
United State*, to-day served notice
on the State Department that next
week he will resume the official di.«-
cussion of the controversy arising
from the California land law.
It was learned that Ambassador
Chinda will tike up the American re
ply at length when he calls* upon Sec
retary Bryan. It Is understood here
that the Japanese official has received
instructions from his Government to
lay particular strees upon the Japa
nese contention that the present sit
uation is an Infringement on treaty
obligations.
Government dispatches from Tokio
to-day pointed out that the Japanese
Foreign Office considers the American
reply to the Japanese protests as un
favorable. inasmuch as it denied the
right of the Orientals to hold land in
the United States, despite the existing
treaty.
Officials here say that this opinion
arises from the fact that the Japanese
do not understand the form of gov
ernment of this country and that the
State.** rights dpctrlne is incompre
hensible to the Orient.
It is admitted here that the Ameri
can reply was quite frank, as was the
protest of Japan, but administration
officials say there was no clause in
the entire note at which the Japanese
should take offense.

his speech on the Japanese situation,

row. carefully expurgating all the
“war talk.’’
The President warned Sisson that
the speech must contain nothing of
an incendiary nature, and Sisson is
editing out all remarks which are not
.vtrictly musty and conventional, re
lating to the treaty-making powers of
the Federal Government as fixed by
products of the last 100 years.

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 Newt 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 would 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 when
the Grand TUTy was asked to ^ndict
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 would be im
possible to present all the evidence in
one day, and that it might be neces
sary to carry the investigation ov^r
into the next week. He said, how-
ever, that it w'as 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 days his
case had been 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. W. 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 w’ould make him contemplate
a change in his plan to present th©
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. Rertillon 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.
