j i THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS, ill)BUS SLEUTH Tobie Gives Out Statement Inti mating Frank's Guilt—Has No Quarrel With Police. 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 Rums 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. Colon*! Thomas B. Felder, who brought the Burns detectives into the Phagan case, would 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 eas»*. Tobie made up his mind last Friday to drop the Mary PhagHn investiga tion—to he said Tuesday—but de ferred action until Monday nlgiu, when he announced his intention to withdraw to Solicitor (general D el se \ Disgusted With “Fuss.” Acute disgust at the “four or five cornered fuss" raised by the Phagan investigation was assigned by Tohie as the cause. This disgust wag su pertnduced by the direct c harge in 1 general impression that the Burn* Agency was pretending to ferret out the Phagan case, when In leality .t* purpose in Atlanta was to investigate the police department Tobie said to-day that while he ha 1 quit and was going to leave Atlanta, still the withdrawal of the Burns Areney need not be permanent. “If certain features of this case :i * not developed, then there will be one. and maybe two. Burns men back here 1 will f*end them here, but they Will work in secret. There will be no more public investigation." Tobie explained he believed Deo M Frank was guilty of the Phagan mur der and that the certain feature's" meant additional clinching evidence not yet published that will make Frank's conviction certain. 'How can any bouse 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 th< hitfd girl? That s the ehai>e this affair has gotten into, only worse. "We came here to investigate this Phagan caoe, 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 part of It. ves." wa«* Toble's reply. Tobie Himeelf Through. Tobie reiterated he ended the inves tigation himself. "1 called myself off," be said “Dan S. Lehon. our Southern superintendent, was close to Atlanta. It was as near for him to pass throu'gh here on his way back to New Orleans as it was for him to go any other way. I was in charge here. but. a.« you know. 1 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. 1 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. Hr f approved it. Had 1 told him I would ^ continue, he would have approved t*' that. too. "This is the worst mix-up l ever saw anywhere, at anv time, lt'v aw - *ful Everybody is fighting everybody ^else. and I am through with this four * or five cornered fracas, except that if t*more Burns men are sent here 1 shall send them here and they will report ^ to me.’ Bribery Charge* Denied.

According to the Solicitor the story follows: About ten days ago Chief of De tectives Lanford. who had been some- wnat scarce around the Solicitor s of fice since that official made some •light ertt icism of t ho police dot (c tlve's methods, threw pride t<» the four winds and called on the Solicitor in person. Following a long conference in which he advised Mr. Dorsey there was a scheme afoot to steal affidavits in the Phagan case, he departed with the words; "1 am going to get that fellow Fel der." About 30 minutes later Colonel Fel der visited the Solicitor and told him a large corruption fund was being used among the city detectives, and be departed with: "I am going to get that fellow Lan ford." The Solicitor kept his own council and took no official action, thinking, he said, the charges on each side were Idle. Later the same evening Chief Lan ford made a second visit He told Mr. Dorsey be wanted to get a dictograph for a few days. Thinking the detective chief want ed to use it for something directly- bearing on the Phagan case. and knowing where he could borrow one. he assured Lanford be would have it for him the next morning Forthwith he went to the office of Colonel Felder and said: “Colonel. Lanford needs a dictograph in his Phagan investigation. 1 would like to get yours." Sorry, Hugh." said the colonel, “but mine is busy to-day."

Atlanta. Ga.. May 27, 1913. Gamblers’ Plot. Declares Lanford. Chief of Detectives Newport A. Lanford gave out a sensational state ment Tuesday morning in which he charged that the efforts to fix accusa tions of bribery and malfeasance upon him were inspired by a “gambling ring." of yvhich 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 vice in the city of Atlanta. Lanford** explanation reveals another angle of the crusade against a yvide-open town “The gambling ring has been aft-» me ever since 1 was made head of the detective department ten years ago." said Chief Lanford. “No more had 1 declared relentless warfare upon a’i 1 forms of gambling in the city than 1 j was notified that the gambling inter ests were out to ‘get’ me Severa j times it was reported to me that I * had been marked for an attack, and once ’he gamblers succeeded in carry ing out their threa s "That was five years ago. 1 waji reduced from se rgeant, yvhich yvas t i- designat on of the head of the depart ment then, to service in the ranks The gamble s ve.e responsible !• •• > i They gloated for nine months Th *n jl was raised to nv former pcsitit n [again.

In the news columns of The Geor gian yesterday it was said that Colonel Felder had been eliminated from the Phagan case. Colonel Fel der says this is not true, that he is as deeply interested in solving the mystery as ever, and that he is lend ing every energy in that direction. The further statement in The Geor gian that Colonel Felder yvas be lieved at one time to be interested In I ’he defense of Frank yvas not in- | tended to reflect in any wav upon ! the lawyer, it was simply the gos- i sip of the street, given for what it I yvas worth. Colonel Felder’s own statement that he is working sole ly for the public good makes his po sition perfectly dear, and everybody in the city will hope that he will continue actively in the case until the great mystery is disposed of.

Six Thousand Cars of Luscious Product to Pass Through Atlanta on Way North. Men and women of Atlanta, we have with ns to-night our old friend. Mr. Watermelon. Just from Florida, dressed in the old-t.ime mottled and variegated garb. ; flesh pinker than perfection, blood redder and juicier than ever, hanker ing to be split. He has arrived from Florida to tell us there are plenty more where he came from—enough to last four weeks. And by that time the more numer ous branch of the family, the Geor- | gia watermelon, the most luscious of | them all, will arrive in full flush of glory. The Central of Georgia Railway has iet apart 6,000 freight cars to trans port watermelons from the South northward. Every car must pass through Atlanta, and prospects are that at least 1.500 of them will be halted on the way. There’s a regular army of thirsty Georgians here, and it’s hard to run the gantlet. Commission merchants and trans portation officials have a joyful an- noum ment to make. The watermelon < rop this year will be a bumper, one of the best ever in the State. Let the small boy rejoice and be gay of heart, for he shall be satisfied. And let the old boy come down off of his high pedestal of dignity and rejoice also, for the older he gets the bigger fool he is about the fragrant fruit of the vine. Six thousand freight cars will hold exactly 3.761,942 big watermelons and two small ones. That'll be enough to feed the country at large when the Georgia crop comes in This year quality will be good and prices just right high enough to suit the farmer and cheap enough to please the con sumer.

Paris Men of Fashion Are Forced to Jump From One Pair of Trousers to Another. PARIS, May 27.—The dandies of Paris have daily been rehearsing of late on quick-change dress in order to he able to slin from one suit into another with lightning speed so as to waste the minimum of time in this way during the height of the season. The decrees of masculine fashion, which in recent years have become as inexorable as the requirements of feminine modes, are unusually Dra conian this year. Even in the hottest weather it will not be permissible to appear in the streets wearing white flannels after 11 o’clock in the morn ing. After lounging at his ease for an hour or so the well-dressed man must rush home and Jump Into a pair of neatly checked trousers. This gar ment yvhich. as in the case of all the ether trousers, the valet must iron out with sharply defined creases every morning, hangs broadest and loosest from the waist With this may go a tobacco-colored business coat with narrow lapels, and a silk hat. For the Afternoon Call. This j-ult doei for a stroll in the Bois. but after luncheon the dandy yvith calls to' pay makes a second quick change. This time he dons a pair of well-creased chimney-pot trousers yvith faint stripes, and a cut away coat, skin-tight. The latter must have a long tail, closely follow ing the shape of the figure and bulg ing nowhere. In the hottest weather the waist coat may be dispensed yvith on the sole condition that the coat he un buttoned and a white slip be worn sewed into the inner side of the lapel to give the similitude of a waistcoat. If one is going to the races white flannel trousers may be worn with this coat, but not if attending recep tions. Both morning and afternoon coats are built up so as to give the man the appearance of being deep-chested and broad-shouldered, so tailors are now laving in a liberal supply of padding material. Snuff-Colored Eveninq Dress. The evening style runs in the direc tion of broad trousers. Again the striking feature, however, is the coat, yvhich is a transparent Imitation of the women’s "Jupe fourrequ." The back and the tail, yvhich fall below the knees, cling Tightly to the body, and must fall in graceful curves not only behind but also In front. Black- cloth is the evening wear, although colors are permitted this year, the choice mostly going to snuff-colored evening dress. Terra-cotta colored handkerchiefs are also a feature of men’s spring fashions. Paris tailors have entered a cam paign against London’s supremacy in the matter of men’s vv^ar. and this year’s fashions are designed yvith the object of persuading Americans to fit themselves out in Paris instead of in the British capital. New Florida County Named for Wilson TALLAHASSEE, FLA.. May 27.— The Florida Hous*e of Representatives is tht first legislative body to honor thc» name of Woodrow Wilson by naming a county for him.

The county will extend the entire width of the State at that point. Charges Attempt To Blind Him; Sues Asserting that W. M. Henry tried to put his eyes out with an umbrella. O. M.

Seldom has an advertising cam paign in Atlanta caused such wide spread interest as that inaugurated Sunday in The American by the Weatherholt Piano Company, 72 North Broad Street. The double-page advertisement, fol io yved by a page in The Georgian yes terday afternoon announcing the sale of 400 player-pianos through a co operative club of 400 members, has caused croyvds of interested persons to visit the Weatherholt store. Although the membership books 1o not open until to-morrow, many in sisted upon selecting player-pianos in advance of enrolling. In anticipation of just such a rush. T. E. Weather holt. president of the Weatherholt Company, made arrangements with the factory several weeks ago. These arrangements, together with thorough co-operation on the part of the rail roads. have resulted in carloads of player-pianos arriving at the Weat'i- erholt building. This is the first time that player- pianos have ever been offered in this section to the public through co operative club buying, and the rea sonable price and the attractive tern's of $10 down and $2.50 per week have ayvakened interest to an unusual de gree. Mr. Weatherholt selected a plave.- piano worth $650 for his club offer, and because of the tremendous pur chasing power of the 400 club mem bers. he was enabled to get them it a price yvhich made the offer of $488.50 and at the attractive terms possible. A corps of expert demonstrators at the Weatherholt store shows visitors hoyy easily these player-pianos may be operated. Among many other attractive fea tures, the Weatherholt club offer In cludes tw’elve rolls of player music, yvith the privilege of exchanging them daily, if desired, for any other music in the Weatherholt library of 5,000 rolls.
