Read Page 14 Assembly Likely to Investigate Report Misrepresentation Was Made to Boost Salary. Representative Connor, of Spald ing County, Introduced a resolution In the House to-day calling for & legis lative Investigation of the State Ag ricultural College at Athens, particu larly with respect to Dr. Andrew M. Soule’s connection therewith. Mr. Connor’s resolution recites the fact that Dr. Soule has been publicly accused In The Southern Fancier- Farmer, a poultry and agricultural magazine, with having obtained a re cent raise In salary upon false repre sentations, and calls upon the Legis lature to investigate the charge and summon Dr. Soule before the Com mittee on Appropriations to answer the same. It also provides for the summoning of B. M. Blackburn, the editor of the magazine, who is held responsible for the charges, to come before the com mittee and substantiate them, if he ly-Kgnywy■tgi.»->--• . .. , ■*-»» can. The magazine charges that Dr. Soule recently asked the board to raise his salary from 15,000 to >8,000 and based hie appeal upon the ipround that he had been offered a salary of $8,000 per annum to serve In a simi lar capacity in the Minneapolis Col lege of Agriculture. The magazine says Dr. Soule never was offered any such sum to serve in the Minnesota college, nor any sum whatever, and that h»s correspondence with the Minnesota college was very brief, and resulted speedily in the choice of another man for the place. The; Fancier-Farmer prints that which purports to be documentary evidence to sustain this charge. Besides the direct allegation of ob taining a raise in salary on false rep resentation to the Georgia College management, the magazine attacks Dr. Soule vigorously for incompeten- Cy and general unfitness for the of fice he holds.

T F' NEGRO SAID 10 HAKE Dl Sister of Will Green Tells Police H e Slept at Home at Hour Girl Was Slain; Jim Conley, Factory Sweeer Again Grilled. The two negro principals in the Phagan case—Newt Lee and Jim Conley—were put on the grill together in the cell of the for mer in the county jail by Solicitor Dorsey and his assistant, Frank G. Hooper, late Wednesday afternoon. Present at the croes-examination were J. M. Gantt, former pencil factory employee, and Detectives Starnes and Campbell, the officers who have had charge of Conley for the pa3t several weeks. After half an hour’s questioning Gantt left the jail. Solicitor Dor sey and the others remained and the questioning of the two ne groes continued until a late hour. Conley was then taken back to police headquarters. Here are Wednesday's important developments in the Pha gan murder mystery: Bloodstained glove of Jlarv Phagan is said to have been found on the first floor near the place the discovery of her pay envelope was made. New evidence is found tending to establish the identity of the negro, Will Green, said to have s een the attack upon Mary Pha- gan. Newt Lee, negro night watchman at the pencil factory, under goes a grilling examination at the hands of Solicitor General Dor sey and his associate counsel, Frank A. Hooper. J. M. Gantt, expected to give sensational evidence for the pros ecution at the trial, is in conference with the solicitor and pres ent at the grilling of Lee. Leo M. Frank tells Sheriff Mangum that he is eager for the trial to begin, and will be ready when it is called Monday morn ing. Solicitor Dorsey announces that he will insist that there be | no further delay. It became known Wednesday that the defense in the Frank case had been informed that the negro, Will Gregn, who is said to have been shooting craps with Jim Conley the day that Mary Phagan was murdered and to have seen her attacked, and the Wil lGreen living at lOo Thur mond street, Atlanta, are the same person. Private detectives in the employ of the defense have trailed the negro across a half-dozen States and have missed him by as small a margin as 30 minutes in some of the towns they have visited in the chase. Trailed by a Ring. Charles Fine, proprietor of the Ra dius Jewelry Company. No. 107 Peachtree street, when he read in The Georgian that the defense was search ing for a Will Green, recalled that he had a ring in his store which was to have been called for by a negro of the same name, but which unaccount ably had been left there without a claimant. He regarded this as pecu liar. and notified parsons interested in the defense. A negro calling himself J. Will Green visited the store May 16 ana displayed a rather ornate gold ring, worth probably $12 or $15. He de sired to have a Radius diamond set in it, and said that he would be around within a day or two after it. He never returned. It was about this time that the report spread around the city that the Phagan murder had had an eyewitness in the person of a negro who was shooting craps with Conley. A sister of the Will Green who left the ring at the jewelry store was seen Wednesday.
