Woodward—What do they pay you? February—One hundred dollars. I am clerk of the detective office, and I spend a great deal of my time in working for Judge Broyles, which makes one man working in two different departments. Miles—Are you married? February—Yes, sir. Miles— (Excessive noise rendered conversation inaudible > Woodward—I won’t do anything until It is substantiated Miles—Yes. just forget it. You know you have never broken your word yet. Woodward—1 heard they charged me with ho mV meanness. Miles—1 think that is a great compliment. Woodward—I heard they said something of that kind down there. Miles—That would tickle me to death if some woman would say that to me. Woodward- The woman. I understand, said sne would not get or. the stand and swear to it. Colyar— Well, t understood that the woman said she did not know you. (Noise interfered with sound over dictograph.) Woodward—1 have a lot of fellows to come up to me and say: "Is this Mayor Woodward? 1 have seen your picture—’’ Oh, 1 don't know that it is true about me. Miles—Personally (on account of Mr. Miles talking so low, was un able to understand him). Woodward—Well, they have pretty good evidence on him.

Woodward—1 tell you what to do You get this stenographer up there and see what he can do. You needn't let me know’ about It; Just tell Miles. Colyar —How about Lanford? Woodward—We want Beavers first, then Lanford. Miles I agree with you. it is best that aftn we go into this and raise the money to pay for it, we go out of the county, and it will he turned over to be examined, to see that they are the papers, and then the money is to he turned over. Now, this list you speak of If Feb ruary don’t want it t o go out in his own handwriting. 1 will take it and copy it in my own handwriting And if he gets into trouble we will pro tect him. Still, in a thing like this I don’t mind getting in trouble for the right. If he gets in jail 1 will promise that he will get out. . . Woodward We have got lawyers here that will get you out pretty quick. And 1 have the pardon power still. Miles And when they see you have got them they are going to be was not interested, the interview end ed," fa id Jones. Mayor Woodward said the first he knew of Colyar was one dav last veek. Colyar called at the City Had and told the Mayor’s secretary, Frank Hammond, he had some important evidence to submit to the Mayor When he was delayed in getting Int* in* office, he grew impatient and de- red that it was more trouble to see the Mayor of Atlanta than the President of the United States. Felder Tells of Evidence. ‘Monday.’’ said Mayor Woodward ’Colonel Felder came to my office. He told me that in working on the Pha- gan case he had unearthed some startling evidence of corruption in the police department. “ 'Give me the evidence,’ I said to him, ‘and I will sec that it is given proper attention and investigation.' "He explained that it would take funds to employ a detective to got the evidence together, as the man he had employed was confined to the Phagan case. ‘‘My reply was that if the evidence was sufficient to convict. 1 did not think there would be the least trouble about getting the money. His re ply was that it was in documentary mighty quick to quiet down. . . . Now suppose we arrange for an other meeting. You set the hour and I will meet you at any time and place. February—Well, we woufd better call you up. Miles—I am so busy that i am not in my office very much, and you may not catch me, Colyar—Can you meet mt at 8 o'clock to-night, here? Miles—Yes: I can meet you here. tAt this Juncture someone knocked on the door and told Mr. Colyar that he was wanted at the telephone. Mr. Colyar replied by saying he couldn't come as he was busy.) February—Well, we will call you up. Colyar—He is coming here at 8 o’clock to-night. • • • My numhe* tip here is Atlanta phone 2401. Miles—Yea, 1 will call for you. Now, that is to-night? Colyar—Yes.

As it Is. we don't know whether you can get anv'thing or not. Colyar- What do you think of the Phagan case? Woodward Phagan rase? I think it has been mighty mussed up. The only thing I know on that subject is w hat I see in the papers, and they have very little in connection with it. (Balance inaudible.) Colyar—Tom Felder talks too much. Woodward — I think so. too. I don’t know what he said on the out side, but he talked some to me, not a great deal; I didn’t see him five minutes. Woodward I only had a very few words. • • • Well, 1 will see I you again.

February and himself in the Williams House on Wednesday after noon. declared that it was a “frame- up of a dirty gang.’’ Mayor Woodward admitted having conversation with the men above mentioned, however, but declared that only half of the conversation which has been attributed to him is true. The rest, the Chief Executive asserts, was injected Into the records and is false. The men who have sworn to the statement have perjured them- selvcs. the Mayor declares. ‘ I did not offer them any money, but I will say now that I will sub scribe to a fund that might unearth any graft in any city department. But 1 haven't got any 11,000 to give. Denies Phagan Connection. ■ Another thing 1 want to make clear is that my dealing with those men had nothing whatever to do with the Phagan case. They told me they had evidence of the corruption of Beav ers and Lanford. is wanted to see what they had. "1 don't suppose anyone takes se riously the statement that Colonel Felder controls me. It is just as ab surd to believe that he controls So licitor Dorsey or the Governor.’’ "G. C. February, secretary to De tective Chief Newport Lanford, and A S. Colyar, that long-haired m\s- teriout* investigator, talked to me about evidence they had proving that Chief of Police Beavers and Chief Lanford were protecting disorderly houses and blind tigers. They talked of protecting February’s job and tht need of $ 1,00ft to pull off the affair Told Them to Get Proof. • My reply was i f February could show up any crooks in the police de partment 1 did not think the people of Atlanta would stand for him losing his job.

Felder entered into an explicit and detailed denial to The Geotglan of all the charges of attempted bribery contained in the affidavits signed by C C. Febuary secretary to Chief of Detectives Lan ford, and A. S. Colyar, a private de tective with n spectacular career ’oionel Felder declared the alleged dictograph record of conversation he is alleged to have had with Colyar and Febuary In Williams House No. 2 a • frame-up" and a fabrication The report that he had offered $1.- <*00 for the Coleman affidavit in the Phagan case and affidavits said to in dicate graft in the Police Department he branded as absolutely faise The whole plot had been concocted he said, to discredit himself and W. J. Burns and drive them from the Pha gan cast* so the guilty person might be protected. "Every move made by the police in the Phagan case has been for the pro tection of the real criminal,” said ("oionel Felder. "Tht- police have kept an innocent negro there in a cell for | three week* In the hope that they can crush a confession out of him and let the real culprit go free. "Guilty Person Protected.” If the desirv were not to protect the guilty person, why should they desire to eliminate Burns and myself? Burns nas a reputation for landing every criminal he goes after. He has a reputation for being absolutely mer ciless in the manner he hunts down his man. It is as certain as anything can he in the detection of criminals j that he will be successful, ones he j gets started on a ease. He is known to be unpurchasable. Everybody Vnows that he could have accepted a million dollars at any time during the chase for the M Namara brothers if he had been willing to say that he had not been able to find the dyna miters ‘‘\s for myself, my professional rep utation. at least, is that if 1 have not done a case in which 1 was interested any good, I certainly have not done it any harm. "So. 1 repeat, what other motive could they have in trying to drive Mr. Burns and myself from the Phagan c«°.9e except to protect the real cul prit ? "That so-called dictograph conver sation was a frame-up and a fabrica tion from start to finish in a long^*' statement that I am preparing. I will show this conclusively. I will demon strate it by the very conversation that is alleged to have been reproduced in the other room by the dictograph 1 will show that things were written that never would have been said by persons in conversation. •1 will show its absolute absurdity with such clearness that no room will be left for doubt. It will be so plain that he who runs may read. It won t require any detective to show that it is a frame-up. and one of the clum siest and crudest that ever was at tempted "That Coleman affidavit, In which the mother and stepfather of the murdered Mary Phagan are made to say that they never hired me or ap proved of me as an attorney to prose cute the Phagan slayer, was extorted, in my opinion Asa matter of fact 1 nr\e- said 1 was employed bv thw Colemans I announced that 1 had been engaged by residents of Beil wood who were friends of the be- *<a/ed family. It is true, however, that Mr. Coleman approved of my selection. I never offered $1,000 for ihe possession of this affidavit. "Neither is it true that I wont to Mayor Woodward and told him tiiar there was lots of graft in the city, bu: that it would take a good deal of money to uncover it. I had only a brief conversation with the Mayor, ard 1 told him at the time that I did not w ish to undertake anything or be come interested in anything that would take my time from the prose cution of the Phagan case. It was not unde! stood that 1 was to probe into the city’s graft conditions. Will Expose Colyar. "Along with my detailed statement to-morrow I shall make public some of the startling incidents in the ca reer of this man Colyar. 1 have Known his history for years. What 1 have to say about him—and practically every statement I make will be sup ported by affidavits—will cause a grave doubt as to his credibility. "1 am acquainted with his move ments when he went into Mexico. I know of the humiliation he was to his father, who waj a well-known public man. I will tell of these things when I make my formal statement to-mor row. "Colyar came to me and said that he had evidence «of graft in the Po lice and Detective Departments He sraid he knew tHat hush money was being paid the police authorities by the proprietors of disorderly houses. "I said to him: ‘Don’t you know. Colyar. that nobody would believe a word y ou had to say 7 If y ou’ve got any papers that you think are worth anything, you can bring them to nm and Ili look them over.’ it is from these conversations that we had in my office that he has framed up this so-called dictograph conversation, adding the conversation that gi\ s it the appearance <»f an attempt to bribe. Burns Fought, He Sa>s. "It is nothing but a plot to get me out of the Phagan case, but I am certain of one thing, and that is that Burns and Tobie. if they are not circumvented by this gang, will have the guilt fixed upon the right person within a very short time after Burns arrives here. They will have to work against difficulties, for as soon as it became known that Burns was going to enter the cave all of the witnesses ivere instructed not to talk to any of the Burns operatives, although they had been allowed t«' talk to the Pinkertons, hired by the National Pencil Company, without reserve." Colonel Felder is bitter in his at titude toward Colyar and the people he represents, and declares that lie will have them "shown up” wUhin another 24 hours. He was so harassed hv the con stant ringing of the telephone Friday night that, with Mrs. Felder, he left home shortly after 7 o'clock with tt f intention, he said, of hiding himself somewhere up town. He found a group of his friends at one of t ie clubs and he staved there until short ly after 10 o'clock when he met Mrs. Felder, who had been witnessing i rehearsal at the Grand Theater. “If they're framing up on you I want to te“ you you've got mv eym- pathv," «aid one of his friend., heart ily "Thank you, old t» o” r 'vnf 1 the Colonel, "but T don't i-®! any sym pathy. I’ll have these on the run so quick it’ll rrvtk* heir leads swim!” Who •£ A. S. Colyar? The records show that Colyar was once mnfined in the Middle Tennes see Jnsafie Asylum, and that more recently he was sent to Lyons View, the East Tennessee Asylum. Infor mal ion from Nashville Is that he served time in prisons all over the State, as well as in Sing Sing. New’ York, and a jail in Virginia. Tele grams from Chattanooga paint him as a wild adventurer who spends con siderable time In prison and is al ways in trouble. In Prison Many Times. NASHVILLE, TENN . May 24.— A. S, Colyar Is a son of the late S. Colyar, of this city, one of the most brilliant lawyers and statesmen Ten nessee ever produced. When not vio lently insane his mind works bril liantly. but always to the wrong end. He has been in prison time after time, but always evaded long sentences through influence of his father’s friends. Young Colyar’s most noted exploit, as it is understood here, consisted in connection with the famous Mollineux murder case in New York. He went from Nashville to New York, saw General Mollineux and offered to have his son acquitted for $20,000. ’Your son is innocent,” Colyar is teported to have said. "One of my clients. n,ov in the Tennessee peni tentiary, is guilty. He confessed ,o me. For $20,000 I can get him out of j the penitentiary , bring him here, in- j due e him to confess and save your j son's life.” Next day. so the story here run®, i General Mollineux advanced him half | the money. Colyar went back io Nashville, engaged a well-known pickpocket ax a confederate, took him to New “York with half a dozen guards and claimed the rest of the $20,000. The ruse might have worked, > xcept for the fact that an assistant district attorney secured information about Colyar and blocked his plans. Leaving New York, he started for Tennessee, only to stop off in V ir- ginia, get in more trouble and serve more time. Then he went to Athens, (la., and lived on (he fat of the land while posing as a Baptist ministerial candidate. At least, this is the story told here. In Mexico Once. In Mexico City Colyar posed as a son of John G. Carlisle, was the guest of honor at a dinner attended by the 1‘resident, and secured an advance of $10,000 from the American Ambassa dor. Returning to Tennessee, he w r ent to .McMinnville and stole a mule. ! Through interposition of “friends lie | was sent to an insane asylum. He set fire to the institution and rode into Nashville to notify the fire de partment. Several persons were in cinerated in this fire. In Financial Trouble. For the past ten years A. S. Colyar has been out of fine serious trouble into another, until his father's friends have despaired of him. His last trouble in Tennessee was in the town of Lafollette, a wealthy mining center in East Tennessee. He then became involved in serious finan cial difficulties which promised a pris on sentence. Nashville people who revered the name out of memory of an honored sire saved him by con vincing a judge that young Colyar was unbalanced, and he was sent to Lyons View. Knoxville, the East Ten nessee asylum for the insane.

May i ..—Jacob Schiff declares that Americans can look for ward to a good sound money market in the near future, after Congress has disposed of the tariff bill. He said: "I have made a very careful study of European money mar kets while abroad, and I think money is on a more solid basis than ever. * With the settlement of Balkan affairs. I find markets stronget and better than ever. “We have i good, sound market which will improve surprisingly within the next few months.” Caruso Nervous as He Sings to His Son LONDON, May 24.—Caruso was nervous when he appeared in "Pag- liacci” at Covent Garden last night, for in the audience there was a critic whom he especially desired to pleaw and he did not know whether or not he would succeed. ' 1 really was singing to an audience of one.” the tenor said, "and that is the most difficult of a'l audiences. 1 knew there was sitting in one of the i boxes a critic whom I did not dare to disappoint, a critic who was listen ing to me for the first time, my little eon.” By REV. CHARLES STELZLE The Presbyterian Church needs 1.000 additional ministers to man its churches, according to the report of the committee on Christian life and work, which reported at the North ern Assembly Friday. Among the many topics discussed at the Assembly meetings, few are of more importance than that of secur ing ministers—not more ministers necessarily, but better ministers, for the demand to-day is for the highest type of leadership in the church. There never was a time in the his tory of the church w hen the chances for making good as a preacher were so great as ii is to-day. The church is being asked to take the lead in the important social problems of the day. as well as the religious questions of the period Foi a real man's man, here's the job of the twentieth cen tury. Many Men Needed. But while better men are needed we- can’t get away from the proposi tion that we need a good many of them. This is the problem which faces the church. Dr W. H. Houston, of Coiumbus, secretary of the committee on va cancy and supply, w r hich has charge of finding preachers for vacant churches, gave a stirring address. He made the startling statement that there are. 3,00ft ordained ministers in the Presbyterian Church who are nol pastors—that is. they are not ir charge of churches. To be sure, many of these men are engaged in other forms of religious work, but the great mass of them are either without churches, but looking for positions as pastors, or else they are engaged in business. How to tie up these men—at least, some of them is the task confront ing Dr. Houston's committee. Tne Assembly voted to give the commit tee “half a cent a member” to make the experiment of finding churches for the unemployed ministers and minis ters for vacant churches. This means that Dr. Houston will have about $7.- 000 to spend this year for the purpose in question, as there are nearly 1,400,- 000 members in the church. Half a cent a member per year may seem like a mighty small contribution for this purpose, but Dr. Houston be lieves he can make the demonstration with this amount. Here's good luck to him. For if he succeeds, he will render | a great service not only for the Pres- ; byterians. but for all other non-Epls- copal churches which must depend upon the wisdom of their sessions and other boards or committees to j find ministers. In ihe churches governed by bish- ! ops these officials simply say to an j unemployed minister: ' You go to that church,” and. he goes. And to that church they say, “Here’s your preach er,” and he stays Just as long as the bishop says so. Now the democ racy of the Presbyterian Ghurch is a fine thing. It gives each church the right to ‘‘call” just the preacher it wishes. But the system also holds some very serious disadvantages. However, men have always paid dear ly for the benefits of democracy, and if they want it, they must pay the price. Work for Seminaries. Dr. A. H. Barr, of Baltimore, re ported on theological seminaries. To many people here’s the crux of the ; entire situation: If the seminaries can make good in training men and training them in the right way. so as to give their students i lie light kind' of an outlook upon their tasks, it j will help immensely. Dr Barr said it was quite a popu lar thing to criticise theological sem inaries for their alleged shortcomings. That's easy. Few men can give us a program and a curriculum which w ill not only develop men of superior type—this they can do without much difficulty—but to take the ordinary man who comes to the seminary to become a preacher and really make a great preacher of him—there’s the rub. Usually, the $1,000 church wants a $10,000 preacher; so the job of sup plying preachers is difficult at best. Dr. Barr reported that the enrollment in the junior classes in all Presby terian theological seminaries this year is 30 less than it was a year ago, although there are 60 more men in the senior classes than there were last year. This proves that either students are holding on better In the upper classes or else some men are coming back to the seminaries and finishing their courses. No doubt, the seminaries are improving their cur- riculums. This will help in inducing more men to take the course. Pay for Students. Dr. William McKibbin offered a res olution that the Board of Education pay ordained ministers who wish to return to the seminary for additional work the same amount of money that is paid the regular student for the Gospel ministry. Dr. McKibbin is himself the president of a theological seminary—Lane, of Cincinnati—and he knows something of the difficulties In the way of securing men and train ing them. The discussion of the day with ref erence to the entire subject revealed a decided interest in the matter, many of the commissioners speaking to it. First of Seaboard's Steel Diners Here The first of six new' steel dining cars purchased by the Seaboard Air Line Railway arrived in Atlanta this afternoon and was met at the-Union Depot by Assistant General Passen ger. Agent Fred GeDsler and Robert F. Maddox, one of the directors of the road. The new, cars, which are 73 feer. long and seat 36 people, are equipped with the latest devices. Suction fans prevent all odors from the kitchen entering the car. The cars will be run from New York and Washington to Birming ham and Florida. They cost $30,000 each and others will be put in serv ice as soon as the Pullman Company can finish them.

Time Clock Accuses Man It Once Saved CHICAGO, May 24.—The time clock in the Cook County Jail, which saved James Dugan, a guard, from being prosecuted on the charge of complic ity in the murder of his father-in-law on December 18. 1912, will be used In an effort to prove a charge of robbery against Dugan.

Miles, a private detec tive, assumes the responsibility f >Y the presence of Mayor Woodward at the Williams House, resulting in tiic dictographlng of the Chief Executive of Atlanta. He also says it was at his suggestion Colonel Thomas B Feider discontinued even his i quaintance with A. S. Colyar. the wild-eyed investigator from Tennes see. Miles’ statement to a Georgian re porter follows* “Colonel Felder had already been to see Colyar and he asked me to gu and see what he had; to examine an papers, etc. “I went, and as soon as I saw Co*- var I was disgusted. The Lov! doesn't make mistakes, and the Lo i certainly put the brand of a crook on that fellow's physiognomy If He ever put It anywhere. “Colyar wanted Mayor Woodward and asked me to get him. 1 went to the Mayor and said: ’I want to take you down to see the greatest fre.ik and crook you ever saw in your lif-\ • I want you to hear his line of bunk. You don’t have to say anything—just come along and listen to what he hands out.’ Thought Someone Listened. •‘That was Wednesday afternoon. I didn’t think anything about a dicto graph, but I knew, or at leasf thought, that he had somebody lis tening in the next room. I couldn't help knowing that, because every now and then Colyar raised his voice so they could hear.
