He explained his position in the following statement to The Georgian: "When 1 came here. I started *.o work independently, without asking any information from Atlanta detec tives. 1 have been criticised, but l think the critcism was unjust. It was not egotism, but delicacy, that kept me from going to them. “They had been working on the case over three weeks. Then I came. Now, if 1 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 I were working on a ease, and after three weeks a detective from another place should come to me and ask for all my information. I would 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 have been reported as criticising them for not looking into the foot prints and Anger prints immediately after the murder. Hut 1 did not make that criticism { said they had ov erlooked two good dews if they had passed up the Anger prints arid thumb prints, hut I did not say they had passed them up I still say two good c lews were overlooked, providing the thumb prints and linger prints VTSTS not traced, hut, mind you, I do not say they were not taken tip. The fact is. I don’t know to-day whether they were or not." Wilson Frees Man In Shadow of Death WASHINGTON.

ProRrea- #dve Republicans, on the eve of their meeting with the executive commit tee of the national committee to lay plana for reorganizing the G. O. P. have split over the means to be em ployed. One group, headed by such men as Borah and Kenyon, are inclined to take a militant view of the matter and ignore the standpatters if they do not at once fall in with their plans, w’hlle another group, headed by Senator Cummins, Is inclined to pacificatory measures. "The crux of the situation.” said Senator Cummins, “Is the reform of delegate representation. With this granted, other matters will take care ot themselves.” “I hope,” said Senator Borah, "that the national committee will disclose their willingness to adjust the ques tion of representation, but whether they do this or fall to do it the move ment will go on just the same and the Republican party will, in 1916. write a Progressive platform and nominate a Progressive candidate. Eighty-five per cent of the Republican electorate Is in favor of Progressive politics.” Senator Cummins thinks a Repub lican conference should be called for September of this year or, at the lat est, the spring of 1914.

Militant and competent Christiani ty will be preached from the pulpit of the Central Baptist Church Sun day night. wh4n the pastor, the Rev. Caleb A. 'Ridley, will take as the sub ject of his sermon the game of base ball. “Play Ball” will be the text, as he announced to his -congregation at the Wednesday night meeting. “In the course of my trip to St. Louis last week to attend the Na tional Baptist Convention.” he ex plained, “1 saw a game between the Boston Red Sox and the St. Louis Browns. ‘Smoky Joe’ Wood was pitching, and Trls Speaker and Yerkes and Hooper and the other hero?s were there. And it struck me that these were men. and that there is nn analogy between the game as it should he played and the life of a Christian man. "Baseball is life. "Nobody hut men can play it. It is no game for mollycoddles. It is a game for men and for thinkers. "Everybody must play his own part and keep away from the other rpan’s. That’s team work, and should apply to life as well as to baseball. I saw Speaker and Yerkes and Hooper all run after a fly—and miss It. "When a player gets on base, he has his eye on home plate. There Is a definite and desirable goal too, Is like life." And this. New Militia Officer. JACKSON. To succeed W. D. Pope, who was recently elected captain. Sergeant J. A.

Only Ridicule for Secretary’s “No-Ships-Till-We’re-lnvaded” j Policy. By JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. WASHINGTON, May 22.—“The j worst enemy of our Country’s peace I Ih h*- 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 much 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 fo 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 and 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 comments of leading newspapers in foreign coun 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 be 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. Crank Peace Theories Scored. Few sharper and more timely re bukes have ever been administered to a public official than this official or gan of the army and navy writes of Mr. Bryan, these paragraphs among others. It would be well indeed at this juncture if some friend *of the Secretary would warn him that the wise statesman defers the dis cussion of theories to a time w'hen his language may not give coun tenance to those In diplomatic contention with his Government, and that the idealism of the phi- losopher is one thing and the ob ligations of a high Government official another. Our own self-respect demands that we should treat Japan, as well as every other foreign coun try. with courtesy and considera tion, but it also demands that w-e should yield nothing to the fear of war or to the attempt to intro duce into our diplomacy crank theories on the subject of peace. To do so is to make trouble for ourselves in the future, as well as to humiliate the American peo ple, the vast majority of whom do not accept Mr. Bryan’s theories. Public sentiment in Washington, not only among the army and navy, but elsewhere, goes further than to merely condemn Mr. Bryan’s over pacific altitude. It laughs at it. It is the general impression of real men at the Uapltol that no man will have greater cause to be thankful if our country escapes international compli cations with Japan. Garrison Talks Like American. If there should be war with Japan (he naval unpreparedness which our Secretary of State so loudly indorses and so shamefully .condones would re sult In national humiliations that would make the policy of "No ships until we are Invaded” the most exe crated of modern public expressions, and the author of this sentiment the most unpopular of American officials. In sharp distinction to the rhetori cal Chautauqua platitudes of the Sec retary of State comes the strong, vig orous common sense of Secretary of War Garrison. Mr. Garrison has no platitudes. He indulges in no Chau tauqua flrew’orks. He lets loose no white doves and carrier pigeons with silk ribbons to delight the ladies of the Chautauqua gallery. But, like the strong man that he is, he utilizes the present conditions to emphasize' a strong plea for«n mobile army. He devotes himself with prac tical vigor to the coast defense sys tem. Not Chautauqua Drivel. Ho wants men behind the fortifica tions to repel an attack by sea and land. He wants big guns behind the coast fortifications and plenty of them .And he talks like an all-round practical American and not a Chau tauqua sentimentalist. Nobody wants war in this country at least until we can outgrow the narrow -minded folly of our recent system of national defense. This is a peac eful country, and It courts peace. I But it is a republic of resolute, pa- | triotie men. and they do not wish in a responsible public position a man with tireless lungs and timorous apprehen sions. who will blazon to the world! that we want peace with or without! honor, and would rather run than fight Perhaps Mr. Wilson has been wise j to keep Mr Bryan so much in the speechmaking business. He is safer when he D away from hi.- office and speak® for himself! this the extern 5Pcjr, ACCORDING / TO the map J © ( I found that map IN MY CKGLAT-GRAND FATHER'S TRun< ^r HIS NAME WAS fNOCH <1*060, AND HE WAS AN INTIMATF F*iEND OF CAPT KIDDj~ the map says there.'5 A CHEST OF QOLD'BURIED SPECIALIST HERE CALLS TURTLE CURE' LAKE Dr, E. C. Thrash, Who Watched Friedmann Work, Warns Atlan tans Against His Treatment l I)r. E. C. Thrash, tuberculosis spe cialist of Atlanta who went to New York and watched demonstrations of Dr. Friodrick F. Friedmann’s reputed cure. Thursday made public a signed statement branding Dr. Friedmann a charlatan and a faker. He said that Dr. Friedmann was making ftirect proposals to administer his treatment to hopeless cases for enormous sums, which was nothing short of a swindle. Dr. Thrash gave out his statement, he explained, because of numerous re quests for advice from persons in and around Atlanta who were considering taking the Friedmann treatment. Why He Warns Public. A woman whose son is in the last stage of tuberculosis of the lungs and bowels came to his office, he said, and explained that Dr. Friedmann had wired her that he would send a man to Atlanta to. administer the treat ment for $2,500. Dr. Thrash said the treatment would be worthless in such a case. He said: "The American public Is now hav ing perpetrated upon it one of the worst frauds of the age, and no means should be spared to protect it against this scheme.” Reviewing his observations of the demonstrations and the lack of any positive conclusions on the part of trie Government commission as to the value of the treatment, he concluded as follows: "Knows Treatment Useless.” “The reason of my statement in the outset that a fraud is being perpe trated is not because I can say with positive assurance that the remedy is worthless, but because he makes a straight proposition to give the treat ment to a hopeless case without even having seen the patient. Without any knowledge as to whether it would be unwise to give the remedy, he makes a proposition to give this patient one treatment which should be adminis tered at $25 to $100 and charge that patient $2,500 for the service—a serv ice w’hich, if he is a man of any intel ligence, he knows is worthless, and if he has no intelligence, he does not de serve to be recognized." Provides Suspension Of Prison Sentences A bill will be introduced in the Georgia Assembly by Senator M. C. Tarver, of Whitefleld, to legalize sus pension of sentence and provide pro bation officers. "T am convinced that the measure, if passed, wrill 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 first offenders, the judges could not have found hundreds that might have been reclaimed by being given, under the guardianship of the law, another chance.” $8.75 Week Needed By Girl in St' Louis ST. LOUIS, May 22.—Eight dol lars and seventy-five cents a week is the minimum pay upon which a girl can live in St. Louis, according to women investigators who testi fied before a Senate committee to day. It was said that while scrub women in office buildings got from $20 to $30 a month, yet many girls were employed in stores at $2.50 to $3.50 a week. Many Take Tests as Public Accountants Thursday saw the conclusion of the semi-annual examinations for cer tified public accountants held in the directors’ room of the Third Nation al Bank. Joel Hunter, of Atlanta, chairman of the Georgia Board of Certified Public Accountants, con ducted the examination. He said more men sought places as public accountants this time than in a number of years. He^added that the men taking the examination are of a’*’ high type.

Mrs. Longstreet Appears to Have Flattened Postoffice Depart ment Statement. By JAMES B. NEVIN. Whatever may be the merits of the question of Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet's removal as postmaster at Gainesville, the contention.that frer administra tion was inefficient seems to have fal len pretty flat, and to that extent sympathy with her apparently is gen eral among political observers throughout Georgia. Postmaster General Burleson, it ap pears. permitted a statement to s-\> forth from the Postoffice Department in Washington that Mrs. Longstreet's conduct of the Gainesville office was not what it should have been, but Mrs. Longstreet in turn has lit'erallv swamped the Senate committee on postoffices and postroads with en dorsements from hundreds of citizens of Gainesville, including dozens of the heaviest users of the local postal ser vice. With one accord, these oeopie aver that her service not only has been satisfactory, but extraordinarily good. The truth of the matter is, of course the Postmaster General, of his own knowledge, knows nothing about the conduct of the Gainesville office un der Mrs. Longstreet. It appears that certain postofflee inspectors reported adversely on her administration one time, however, and that lately, and the Washington department permit ted its statement to go out with that, one inspection report as a basis. Mr*. Longstreet, with considerable ingen uity and much promptness, appears rather to have flattened that out thoroughly. Mrs. Longstreet informed the Sen ate Committee that she did not care to retain the office particularly, if it were the President’s desire to give it to someone else, but she did object to going out under the cloud of a re port of inefficiency. In that view' of the matter. Mrs. Longstreet appears to have a great many sympathizers in Georgia, and the showing she made as to a sat isfactory- state of affairs in the Gainesville office apparently Is very gratifying to her friends. Her fight to retain the postmaster ship at Gainesville has attracted much attention throughout the state. Congressman Charles G. Edwards states that he is heartily in accord with the movement for a third United States judge in Georgia, and will use his best endeavors in behalf of the bill proposing the same, now pending in Congress. Mr. Edwards joined in the confer ence that was held in Washington several weeks ago, and he and Con gressman Charles L. Bartlett will probably be relied upon to put the measure through the House. The Georgia Senators have indicated their purpose of concurring in the plan. Congressman Edwards says he fa vors the bill because the business of the United States courts in Georgia has increased so greatly that two judges can no longer handle it. He has no personal feeling against any judge, but believes that the welfare of this part of the State requires more of the time of the judge than it now r receives. C. M. Methvin, president of the Georgia Weekly Press Association, has extended an invitation to Presi dent Woodrow Wilson to attend the ( next meeting of the association, to oe held In LaGrange on July 16-16. and deliver an address before the mem bers of that body. Mrs. Wilson Is in vited to accompany the President. A similar invitation will be extend ed by the Chamber of Commerce of LaGrange and the municipal authori ties of thta city, and Hon. William J. Harris, chairman of the Democratic Executive Committee of Georgia, w r Hl interest himself in the matter in an effort to secure the President’s ac ceptance of the invitation. The United States Senators from this State and members of Congress from Georgia also have been asked to urge upon the President that the in vitation be accepted, and they will no doubt exert all influence possible in this direction. As the General Assembly will be in session at the time specified, it also , is proposed to introduce a joint reso lution in that body inviting the Presi dent to deliver an address to the leg islators, which resolution will no doubt be gladly adopted unanimously, provided the President is able to visit the State at that time.
