The Duty of the Grand Jury-- Investigate All the Charges of Graft and Bribery ! The Georgian repeats its suggestion that the Grand Jury MUST TAKE UP AND INVESTIGATE THOROUGHLY the charges of graft and bribery that have been made in the news papers during the past few days. And the matter should not end with the Grand Jury. It should be taken into a court of law, Colonel Thomas B. Felder has made some accusations that merit immediate attention. If there is graft in the police department or bribery any where, the public has a right to know about it; and if Colonel Felder or anyone else can establish that, he will receive the thanks of the entire community, and there will be a speedy turning out of the guilty men. The matter is too serious to begin and end in a newspaper war. The good name of the city is involved. The good name of public servants is involved. ' Trials in newspapers are never effective. They lead no where. The public is still unconvinced. Trials by judges and juries are final and conclusive. THE PUBLIC WANTS FACTS There is no reason to believe that the charges against Beavers are true. Even the bitterest enemies of Beavers admit his honesty. He has made a good record. He is entitled to have the charges against him examined by a judge and jury, so that all the facts may be known. Whether Beavers’ attitude is right in putting an end to the segregated district is not an issue. The law does not permit any choice in the matter. The law does not sanction a segre gated district for the barter and sale of human beings and for the enrichment of a few ringsters. It is not improbable that a little more liberality in some of the laws would be a good thing for the city and all concerned. But the way to get that liberality is to change the present statutes. Beavers has no alternative but to enfoi’ce the law as he sees it, and he has no alternative but to compel those who accuse his department to go into court and try the case there instead of in the columns of the newspapers.

Lanford gave out a sensational state ment Tuesday morning in v hlch he charged that the efforts to fix accusa tions of bribery and malfeasance upon him were inspired by a "gambling ring. ’ of which C. C. Jones was the head. The cause of the fight against Lan ford had been something of a mys tery. Beavers readily explained the efforts to dispossess him from the of fice of Chief of Police by his war on v ice in the city of Atlanta. Lanford's explanation reveals another angie of the crusade against a w ide-open town "The gambling ring has been a ftp* , >ne ever since I was made head of the j detective department ten years ago," ; said Chief Lanford. "No more iiad'l j declared relentless warfare upon all | forms of gambling in the city than I i was notified that the gambling inter- | ests were out to get’ me. Several j times it was reported to me that I I had been marked for an attack, and : once the gamblers succeeded in carry ing out their threats. "That was five years ago. I was reduced from sergeant, w hich was the | designation of the head of the depart- | ment then, to service in the ranks, i The gamblers were responsible for it. I They gloated for nine months Then I was raised to mv former position 'again, with the title of chief. Since then I have continued my campaign against them. They have been very bitter. They have threatened me time and again Now tnev have brought these charges against me." Col. Felder Still Probing In the Phagan Case. i In the news columns of The Geor gian yesterday it was said that p'olonel Felder had been eliminated from the Phagan case. Colonel Fel- |der says this is not true. thHt he is j as deeply interested in solving the mystery as ever, and that he is lenri- liiig everv energy in that direction.

LONDON, May 27.—Champagie now - takes a back seat in London, and claret, moselle and w hisky an i soda are the drinks of the moment. But temperance is a current craze. Barley water in special "brews” may be found at the Carlton and Bach elors' Clubs. . . few smart men drink plain cold water, among others Sir Arthur Walsh and Lord Charles Beresford. The King has cider laid down in his cellar, and among cider drinkers are the Duke and Duchess of Teck, thj Duc hess of Leeds. Lord Knollys ana Lord Mount Stephen.

Weather cloudy; track good. C. W. Tobie. chief criminal in vestigator for the Burns Detective Agency, formally withdrew from the Phagan investigation Tuesday morn ing. The calling off of the Burns forces was announced by Dan P. Lehon, superintendent of the South ern branch, after Tobie had stated explicitly that he would not withdraw from the case. Colonel Thomas B. F'elder, who brought the Burns detectives into the Phagan'case, w ould make no state ment relative to their withdrawal, but announced that' it did not mean 'he end of his investigation or connec tion with the case. Tobie made up his mind last Friday to drop the Mary Phagan Investiga tion—so he said Tuesday—but de ferred action until Monday nigai, when he announced his intention to withdraw to Solicitor General Dor sey. Disgusted With “Fuss.” Acute disgust at the "four or five cornered fuss” raised by the Phagan investigation was assigned by Tobie as the cause. This disgust was su perinduced by the direct charge ind general impression that the Burns Agency was pretending to ferret out the Phagan case, when in reality .ts purpose in Atlanta was to investigate the police department. Tobie said to-day that while he had quit and was going to leave Atlanta, still the withdrawal of the Burns Agency need not .be permanent. "If certain features of this case a ' not developed, then there will be one, and maybe two. Burns men back here. I will send them here, but they will work in secret. There will be no more public investigation.” Tobie explained he believed Leo M. Frank was guilty of the Phagan mur der and that the "certain features" meant additional clinching evidence not yet published that will make Frank’s conviction certain. “How can any house have har mony,” said Tobie, "whet. the old man is fighting the old woman, and the old woman is fighting the children, and they are all fighting the hired girl? That’s the shape this affair has gotten into, only worse. "We came hero to investigate this Phagan case, and for no other pur pose. But the charge was made that in reality we were investigating the police department. The way things were shaped up the police could not help believing that charge to be true Colonel Felder's attitude bore that out, so I decided last Friday to quit." "Do you mean. then, that you were dissatisfied at Colonel Felder's atti tude?” was asked. "We were dissatisfied with that parr of it, yes,” was* Tobie’s reply. Tobie Himself Through. Tobie reiterated he ended the inves tigation himself. "I called myself <fff." he said. "Dan S. Lehon. our Southern superintendent, was close to Atlanta. It was as near for him to pass through here on his way back to New Orleans as it was for him io go any other way. I was in charge here, but, as« you know. I do not belong to this territory. As a pure formality and a matter of courtesy, and because I knew he was coming here to visit his wife’s relatives, I sent him a message inviting him to confer with me. When he got here I told him as a courtesy that I had decided to quit the case. He approved it Had 1 told him I would continue, he would have approved that. too. "This is the worst mix-up I ever saw anywhere, at any'time. It's* aw ful. Everybody is fighting everybody else, and I am through with,this four or five cornered fracas, except that if more Burns men are sent here I shall send them here and they will report to me.” Bribery Charges Denied. Rumored attempts to bribe wit nesses were given strong denial in many circles, particularly by those whose names were connected by ru mor with the alleged bribery attempts. C. (’. Sears, superintendent of the Atlanta branch of the Burns detect ive agency communicated to Chief of Detectives Lanford the announcement of the withdrawal of the Burns forces from the Phagan case. Chief Lanford authorized the fol lowing statement on the departure of Tobie: "Tobie. 1 believe, is straight and< honest. He was victimized by Felder. I am convinced Mr. Tobie was work ing toward the interest of those seen- ing to clear the mystery.” Praises Superintendent. A girl employee of the pencil fac tory has written the following state ment. which upholds the working conditions of the factory and cham -V pions the character of the imprisoned superiniendent: f "Nothing has ever been said of the girls of the pencil factory until after the terrible murder, but since then there has been one continuous talk, just as if we were to blame. We are just as anxious to see the guilty pun ished as the rest of the public, and we all loved Mary Phagan just as much as we possibly could. "If the public only would interest itself to look into other factories and stores they would find the girls in the pencil factory are just as good as any other working girls. "It iooks mighty hard that we have to work in the place where our little friend was so horribly murdered. But we are only poor working girls, try ing to make an honest living, and we try not to think of the tragedy any more than possible; and we have the interest of the factory too much at heart to desert in times of trouble. "We all fiope and pray the guilty will be punished and the innocent given freedom, for we all think our superintendent has a soul himself and that he would not think of such a thing, much less commit such a hor rible crime.” Swallows Poison as Walker DM; Saved ORLANDO, FLA.. May 27.—That bichloride of mercury is not always fatal wa« demonstrated here when S. Walters Howe, cashier of the Stat^ National Bank, swallowed a tablet, mistaking it for a headache aose.

Howe has experienced na harm. •WITHIN THE LAW’ IN LONDON. LONDON, May 27.—"Within the Law” is running aJ the Hayrnarket Theater and gives promise of estab lishing a recorn.
