The Atlanta Georgian Read for Profit---GEORGIAN WANT ADS---Use for Results VOL. XI. NO. 252. ATLANTA, OA., MONDAY, MAY 26, 1913. By Copyright, 1906. y The Georgian Co. 2 CENTS 'uZnT S Ml SEEK AFT VilGK Chief of Police Beavers and Chief of Detectives Lanford both stated emphatically Monday that they intended to go to the full limit of the law in making Thomas B. Felder prove his charges of graft in the police department. Both Beavers and Lanford will take the matter before the Grand Jury, and they will take other action in the courts against Felder forthwith. Chief Beavers shortly before noon held a conference with City Attorney Mayson, after which he announced that he would take the whole matter of alleged attempted bribery and “conspiracy against him” before the Grand Jury next Friday. The chief was advised by the City Attorney that this was the proper course to pursue. He declined to specifically name all of those who will be involved, remarking that he will lay all of his evidence before the grand jurors and ask indictments. They do not intend to let Felder’s statements go with a sim ple newspaper denial made by them. They intend to have a thor ough investigaton, and they intend further to make Felder come forward with his evidence or take tile consequences; and the con sequences, they intend, shall be the fullest penalty that the law can inflict upon him. SAY THEY WILL BARE “SECRETS.” Both Beavers and Lanford have determined to go at the mat ter systematically, thoroughly and in a legal way; and they intend that the investigations before the Grand Jury and in the courts will lay bare all the “secrets” that Felder is alleged to have of bribery and graft in the police department; and also make public the reasons Mayor Woodward has in the attempt to restore the restricted vice district in Atlanta. It is regarded as certain that Felder is eliminated entirely from the Pliagan case. It had been believed that he really was in the employ of the Frank defense up to the time that he began to bombard the public with statements against Frank and went on record in saying he believed in the guilt of Frank. In making this statement, saying he believed in the guilt of Frank, he takes the same position as that of Lanford and Beavers, who also are convinced of Frank’s guilt. CAN’T APPEAR FOR FRANK. Felder, therefore, can not appear as an attorney for Frank, nor is he wanted by the prosecution as an attorney to aid in pros ecuting the case. It would seem, therefore, that he has no stand ing in the Phagan matter at all. Both Beavers and Lanford state positively that the evidence collected by the police department in the Phagan case points to Frank’s guilt, and that all the evidence collected by the Burns Agency and the Pinkerton Agency simply confirm that belief. They add that no new evidence, not already secured by the city detectives, was produced by either Burns or the Pinkerton men. Mayor Woodward to-day issued a statement denying Chief Beavers’ assertion that he was eager for the restoration of the restricted district, and declaring that if Beavers and Chief Lan ford framed the dictograph plot they were unfit to hold office, and should be ousted. Mayor Eager to Bring Back Tenderloin, Declares Chief another or turn State’s evidence. When I heard of this deal that Mr, Felder was trying: to make in the Phagan case T told Chief Lanford to confer with Solicitor Dorsey and get his advice in the matter, as I did not want anything done that was not perfectly legitimate. "This he did, and G. C. February, who is a trusted man in the detective department, was instructed to carry out the deal with him. "It appears that Mr. Felder has been associated with this man Col- yar for a long time and certainly should know what manner of man he is. If he knew him to be a crook, why did he enter into a deal of this sort with him, if he wanted to do the straight thing? "I say I never heard of this man RESULTS: AT TORONTO.

LAY BRIBERY EFFORT TD FRANK’S Car Service Before Commission Tuesday The matter of better street car service for Atlanta will be taken up by the Georgia Railroad Commission Tuesday in executive session. The commission may be in session all day. With them will be officials of the Georgia Railway and Electric Company. President Arkwright, of the company, has a plan by which the service may be improved. This will be considered in detail. Improvement of street car service in rush hours is the demand the commission is making upon the com pany, charging that present sched ules tie inadequate. Chief of Police James L. Beavers issued a statement Monday forenoon defying his accusers to prove that he had been guilty of any act of moral turpitude as Chief of Police or as a citizen. He characterized th-.t attack by Colonel Thomas B Felder merely as an effort to detract attention from his own (Felder’s) actions. Referring to A. 3. Colyar, in hh sweeping denial of the charges that have been made against the polio*' department, he made the pertinent observation, that it many times re quired a crook to turn up another crook." “I never heard of A. S. Colyar, Jr., until this thing came up. He may be a crook, as far as I know. It seems that Mr. Felder has known for a long time that it is no unccm- mon 4hin&* forgone crook,. turn up Continued on Page 2, Column-L AT ELECTRIC PARK. FIRST—Three-year-olds and up. four furlongs.

Lanford announced that the negro, Jame* Conley, was weak ening in his statement that he wrote the "murder notes" found near the dead body of Mary Phagan. Chief of Detectives Lanford was given two papers Monday a£pusing friends of Leo M. Frank of attempt ing to bribe a man and a woman to swear that they saw Mary Phagan at 10:30 Saturday night, April 26. at a soda fountain at Marietta and For syth Streets. These papers were given Lanford J by A. S. Colyar, whose entrance into th^/Phagan case has been marked by one sensation after another. Colyar told Lanford that the papers were copies of sworn affidavits and that he had the original® which he would produce at the proper time. The copies are not signed. Haas Denies Charge. Emphatic denial that he had in any manner resorted to bribery in behalf of Frank was made by Herbert Haas, well-known Atlanta attorney and friend of the pencil factory superin tendent. Mr. Haas further declared that any intimation that he had sought to bribe anyone was absolute ly false. / Two Affidavits Alleged. Colyar said that one of the affida vits was signed by the woman It was sought to bribe and the other by the man. a traveling salesman. Five hundred dollars each is said by the alleged copies of the affidavits to have been offered to the man and the woman for their testimony. Colyar alleges that the woman was brought here from Birmingham with the intention of inducing her to swear to the statement that she saw' Mary Phagan late Saturday night. He said that he knew' where she was at the present time, although the friends of Frank thought that she had left the city. Another report of attempted bribery was submitted to Chief Lanford o.v Will Henson, of 12 Leonard Street. Henson told Lanford that ho had been Informed by Mrs. Edmondson, mother of little Monteen Stovar, of 175 South Forsyth Street, that a man had come to her house and asked how much she (Mrs. Edmondson) would take to keep Monteen out of town until after the trial had concluded. Swore Frank Wasn’t in Office. Monteen Stover is the girl who is reported to have gone to the factory at 12:05 o’clock Saturday afternoon and to have been unable to find Frank in his office, although he swore he was there all the time from the moment that Mary Phagan left his office until Lemmie Quinn is said io have entered at about 12:20. After hearing the report, made to Chief Lanford, that an offer had been made to her to keep her daughter, Monteen Stover, out of Atlanta till after the trial of Frank. Mrs. Ed mondson dictated a denial to a Geor gian reporter. H«*r statement fol lows: Mrs. Fomby Not at Home. "No. there has been nothing like that at all. There has been no offer of money, or anything else, for my daughter to leave Atlanta. There has been noihing but Just her little testi mony you saw in the papers, and no improper offers have been made to either me or her." The detectives also are working »n I reports that Mrs. Mima Fomby, of 400 Piedmont Avenue, the woman who reported that Frank had called her up several times By phone vt Saturday night, has been approached by several person? who have at tempted to bribe her to alter the statements contained in her affidavit.
