PROTEST OF SOLICITOR DORSEY • US Presents Evidence Showing In dictment of Negro Would Hin der Frank Prosecution. Here are the important de velopments of Monday in the Phagan case: The decision of the Grand Jury of Fulton County not to bring at this time an in dictment against James Con ley. The information that there is a strong probability of another postponement of the trial of Leo M. Frank. The Grand Jury’s refusal to reopen its investigation of the Phagan mur der mystery was a decided victory foi the Solicitor after that body had over ridden his request that no session be called to take up the matter in any of its aspects. A report that Judge L. S. Roan, w’ho will preside at the Frank trial, had signified his desire that the case be put off until fall, gave rise to the expectation that another postpone ment will take place, and that the dafe probably will be set for some week in September. Defense Said To Be Willing. The defense also is said to be In favor of a continuence. Luther Z. Rosser, chief of counsel for Frank, said Monday that he did not contem plate asking for further delay, but thought that it would be a hardship on the jurors to hear the case at this time of the year. He made it plain that he would not oppose any move for a continuance. The Grand Jury Monday decided to take no action at this time looking to the indictment of James Conley, ac cuser of Leo M. Frank in the murder of Mary Phagan. The Grand Jury came to its de cision after Solicitor General Dorsey had presented a mass of evidence to show why the indictment of the negro would hamper the prosecution of Frank. After more than an hour’s conference the Silicitor issued this statement. “I am requested by the Grand Jury to say no action will be taken at this time on the James Conley matter, and that that body will not pay'any Will Not Last Year Out, President Says—Stronger Successor Is Hoped For. l WASHINGTON, July 21.—The United States does not intend to rec ognize the Huerta Government In Mexico, because that administration is reported to be tottering to its ruin and is not expected to last the year out. This was the gist of President Wil son’s discussion of the Mexican sit uation with the Washington corre spondents to-day. The President said that at present he is doing nothing but studying the Mexican problem so as to be able to discuss it thoroughly with Ambassador Wilson when the latter reaches Washington Friday. But he indicated clearly that the Administration does not intend to rec ognize Huerta, no matter what advice the Ambassador gives. The Chief Executive has been ad vised on the highest authority that I President Huerta is losing his grip. It is not considered good policy to rec ognize a government which has but a short time to live, and the United States will reserve its approbation fjr another and stronger regime, which, it is hoped, will succeed the Huerta Government. The President to-day Indicated clearly that there would be no further steps in the Mexican matter until aft er the White House conference sched uled for Friday. j Rebels Reported Planning Massacre of Americans.

Sciple, Sr,, Sued On Slander Charge A suit for $25,000 damages was filed Monday against George W. Sciple, Sr., by Mrs. J. M. Hall, of No. 164 Ponce DeLeon avenue. The suit is the outcome of a re cent escapade of Mr. Sciple. In which he is alleged to have come to the horn of Mrs. Hall in a state of intoxi cation and to have made defamatory remarks when he was refused per mission to see Miss Myrtle Gilmer, a young woman rooming there. He pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in the court of Recorder Broyles and paid a fine. Mrs. Hall charges In her bill that Sciple slandered her and her home and that he placed her in a humiliat ing light before the public. Requisition Clerk to Wed Mayor’s Typist Comptroller Goldsmith's office In the City Hall has been the scene of a happy romance. While the Mayor and Council and Recorder have raged at each other, the requisition clerk and the stenogra pher have been thinking of gentler things; and now this engagement Is an nounced : "Mr. and Mrs. David I^fayette Thom as announce the engagement of their daughter, Eva Matilda, to Mr. William Evans Chambers, the ceremony to take : place August 16.’’ Joe Hill Hall Urged For Mayor of Macon MACON, July 21.—The local politi cal situation was complicated to-day by the announcement from Joe Hill Hall that he is seriously considering the idea of running for Mayor, having been urged so to do by friends.

ATHENS, July 21.—The farm Im plement company of G. F. O’Kelly has gone into voluntary bankruptcy after a year in business. The liabilities ar e $8,000 with $4,000 assets. Most of the creditors are out-of-town firms. Charles E. Smith has been appointed receiver. After one of the stormiest sittings of the present session, the House of Representatives to-day agreed to re consider Its previous adverse action upon Candler County by a vote of 92 to 59. During the progress of the debate on Candler the House was bitterly ar raigned by Mr. Hardeman, of Jeffer son, for its slow* progress to date, which charge was quite as vehement ly resented by Mr. Blackburn, of Ful ton, and others. Mr. Wohlwender, of Muscogee, whose call for the previous question on Thursday last was held responsible for Candler’s slaughter then, in mov ing to reconsider to-day, explained to I the House that he had made his mo tion in entire good faith, and If he had made a mistake, he wished that his mistake be not visited on Candler. If he had hurt anybody's feeling or said anything he ou?h* not to ha/e said, the gentleman from Muscogee begged everybody’s pardon. Dove of Peace Scared. This apparently paved the way for a peaceful vote, but it soon became plain that a peaceful vote was not in sie-ht. Mr Hardman vehemently protested reconsideration, and in doing so charged that the House w*as dis gracefully far behind in its business, and that too much time already had been wasted on new county claims and constitutional amendments. Mr. Hardeman's wholesale denun ciation of the House for laxness and tardiness was quickly resented. It was contended that the present House, instead of being behind in its work, is really farther ahead as it enters its last 25 days than any House for many years past. Bills’ Status Mad© Plain. The appropriations bill is ready for the House’s consideration, and Chair man Wheatly has given notice that he will call it up Tuesday. This will put it before the House at least ten days earlier than usual. The tax act, it was contended, will reach the House in record-breaking time, and tlje House committees have worked overtime reporting bills. Representative Blackburn chal lenged Mr. Hardeman to name any Legislature within the knowledge of either man, both of whom are vet erans of the House, wherein any bill of general importance, particularly the appropriations bill and the tax act, was reported within the first 25 days of its session. Mr. Hardeman did not name such a Legislature, but he held, neverthe less, that the present House had been unnecessarily slow. The gentleman from JefTerson de clared that the whole trouble lay at the door of the proposed new coun ties, and said that he had been ‘‘lob bied with so persistently and so ve hemently that he could not even find places to eat and sleep in comfort in Atlanta.” Debate Grows Personal. As the vote was proceeding, at least 40 members arose to explain their votes, and at times the debate became very personal and full of feeling. Mr. Wohlwender, of Muscogee, was the storm center of the talk as a rule, but it was evident enough that be- neqth it was another and far more important something—perhaps a di rect fight upon the very House or ganization itself. The reconsidered Candler County measure probably will go over to next session, and it is doubtful whether any other new* county propo sitions will come up this year. IS.PHHURST JULES AFTER ' FIERCE SIOT Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON, July 21.—In one of the fiercest riots which has marked the suffragette propaganda in Great Britain, Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, leader of the militants was arrested to-day with six of her followers. The fight with the detectives came when the officers tried to arrest Mrs. Pankhurst as she was entering the Pavilion Music Hall, where her daughter Sylvia and other prominent suffragettes were holding a meeting. Mrs. Pankhurst was seized after a violent struggle, and when the fren zied women saw* their leader in the hands of the officers they charged upon them, using hatpins and all sorts of weapons to wrest their lead er away. The officers held their prisoner and resisted the attacks of the women. Six other women who were the ring leaders in the attack on the officers also were taken into custody. Mrs. Pankhurst was taken to Hol loway jail. She escaped from the detectives yesterday by having a fellow militant leave her house deeply veiled. The detectives believed the veiled woman was the militant leader and only after they had forced her into a taxicab did they learn their mistake. Miss Luetta L. Porter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Hart Porter, of No. 282 Crumley street, is the newest nominee in the ‘‘beauty button” con test. She is of the blonde type with golden brown hair and gray eyes. An unusual commentary on the beauty contest is that more blondes than brunettes have been nominated. But the contest is not closed yet, and What the final result will be no one can tell. Also the brunettes who have been nominated are keeping well up with the blondes in votes. A letter has Come to the contest editor stating that photographs flat ter some types of beauty while they do not do others justice. That is true, but it depends on the particular photograph. That all the photographs ro far published have made a good Impression is shown by other letters of nomination, in which the writers state they are reluctant to enter their candidates after seeing so many pretty faces entered in the race. Well, every one to his own taste. All readers of The Georgian and American still have the privilege of nominating and voting for whom they please. The votes will decide wh»it girl’s picture is to adorn the "500,000 Club’ booster buttons. Nominate your candidate and send in her photograph. Then get your iriends to vote for her.
