FEMALE RAFFLES LOOTS PHONE GIRLS’ CAMP BY RUSE Girl, 14, Caught Stealing Purse, Freed on Plea of Victims in Series of Robberies. LATEST NEWS Following: a series of thefts at the summer camp of the employees of the Southern Bell Telephone Company in Lakewood Heights * during the past two weeks, a 14-year-old girl was trapped and caugnt in the act of tak ing a purse by County Policeman It. E. Jackson Wednesday night. Every effort was exerted to avoid publicity of the incident. When the girl was taken to the county police headquarters. Miss Katherine Tatum, superintendent of the camp, appeared and asked that no charge be made against her. The miscreant returned the purse to Miss Tatum, declaring, that she took it by mistake, thinking it to be her own. The money it contained, amounting to about $7, was intact. The girl was then released and Thurs day morning was discharged from the employ of the telephone company. Various Traps S«t. Since the first report that a Raf fles was operating among the women at the camp, various traps have been set, but without success. The arti cles which disappeared ranged from portions of women’s attire to small amounts of money and bits of jew elry. Almost nightly, it is said, some thing was stolen. Wednesday night Miss Tatum called in County Policeman Jackson and in formed him of the thefts. The officer got a woman's purse and, placing it upon a table in full view in one of the tents, concealed himself behind a trunk to wait developments. A short time before the last car to the city wan scheduled to leave, the policeman saw the girl enter the tent hastily, and after glancing about, snatch the purse from the table and depart. Springing from his hiding place, Jackson placed her under arrest. Pleads for Girl Thief. Miss Tatum was informed and the girl taken to police headquarters. When Miss Tatum confronted her ^n hour later, the young prisoner’s grief was pathetic. She protested her in nocence of any intention at thievery and denied that she had perpetrated the other thefts. Miss Tatum asked that no charge be lodged against her. The girl was permitted to return to her home. Thursday morning Miss Tatum de clared that the incident was closed. “It was simply one of those cases of being unable to withstand tempta tion,” she declared. “It was not so much the girl’s fault, considering the circumstances. I pity her and hold no malice toward her, nor do any of the other girls in the camp. She just couldn’t help it.” Back From Liberia To Die in the South NEW YORK, July 24.^-Pauline Woodson, a 69-year-old negress, was permitted yesterday to land In this country on the assurance of her son- in-law, David Robertson, that he would care for her in his home at Charleston, S.

DICTATOR Works Charges Executive With Usurping Legislative Power. Scores Tariff ‘Influence.’ WASHINGTON, July 24.—On the floor of the Senate to-day Senator Works, of California, denounced Pres, ident Wilson for influencing tariff leg islation in the summing up of a speech on the tariff bill pending be fore the Senate. "The tendency of latter-day poli tics is to exalt the executive at the expense of the legislative and judicial power of the Government, and make the President the master and ruler of them all, and the master and not the servant of the whole people,” said the Senator. “It is an unwarranted and danger ous tendency. Every public official, however exalted, is only the servant of the people, and should at all times be subject to their control and sub servient to their will in conformity to the Constitution and laws of the coun try, and each department of the Gov ernment, if its institutions are to be preserved, must be kept within the limitations of its powers as fixed 'y the Constitution. He Charges Tariff Coercion. “If this bill is passed, it will not be by the willing and voluntary consent of a majority of this body. It will be the result, In part, of outside influ ence, that should never enter into the deliberations or acts of Congress. The Constitution provides: All legislative powers herein granted shall be vested in a Con gress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives. “The President is also made Com mander-In-Chief of the army and navy. That instrument further pro vides that *the executive power shall be vested in the President of the United States of America.’ It is fur ther provided: ‘He shall from time to time give to the Congress informa tion of the state of the Union and recommend to their consideration such measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient.’ No Warrant for Influence. “This is the only power vested in the President in respect of the making of laws. There is no warrant in the Constitution for his participation in the formation or passage of laws or the exercise of any influence on leg islation beyond that of recommending to the consideration of the lawmak ing power such measures as he shall judge necessary or expedient.” Here the Senator said that his views coincided with those Injected into the Democratic platform of 1904 and he quoted from the declaration of prin ciples drawn by the Democratic par ty at that time. In concluding his speech, Senator Works said: “I have approached this subject with reluctance and purely from a sense of duty. I expressed similar views during the last administration. I have the greatest respect and es teem for the Incumbent of the great office of President of the United States, as I had also for his predeces sor. Explains Causes of Alarm. “I believe in the integrity and sin cerity. of his purpose to serve the people and the country to their very best interests. But, sir, this can not deter me from expressing my views on a question so serious and far- reaching in its consequences. “It makes the situation only the more alarming that one of such high ideals and patriotic purposes should do anything that can reasonably be construed to be a usurpation of power or an infringement of the Constitu tion that may some time be appealed to as a precedent by one less con scientious and patriotic.” RACING RESULTS AT BELMONT.

Ask Mayor to Light New Crematory Fire It was announced Thursday that the new $260,000 crematory would be put into operation Friday, and to make assurance doubly sure that the row over this plant between Mayor Woodward and the Council has end ed. Mayor Woodward was invited to light the fire. Mayor Woodward was uncertain Thursday whether he would accept the Invitation. He has never been down to look over the plant, which is located just back of Terminal Sta lk Says He Has Not Even Been Asked for Postponement, and Sees No Reason Why Trial Should Not Be gin On Date Fixed. Jim Conley, the negro sweeper of the National Pencil Factory, was taken from the police station late Thursday afternoon by Detectives Starnes and Campbell to verify certain of his state ments and to point out certain witnesses, who, he told the detec tives, would be able to refute the affidavit of W. H. Mincey by showing that he was not at the point where Mincey swears the ne gro confessed he “had killed a girl” on the afternoon of the mur der. The detectives would not divulge the location of the places to be visited. Judge L. S. Roan, home from Covington, late Thursday, de clared to a Georgian reporter that he saw no reason why the trial of Leo M. Frank, accused of the murder of Mary Pliagan, should not begin Monday. The Judge who had been reported ill said he felt fully able to go ahead and had not been asked for a postponement. “I see no reason why the trial should not begin on the date fixed,” he said. “As far as 1 am concerned everything is in read iness. I have not been asked to allow a delay.” Judge Roan added that he had informed Judge Penleton there was no objection on his part to going ahea with the drawing of twelve panels of 12 men each of prospective jurymen were drawn. Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner had notified all the attorneys in volved. It was expected that the defense would make its mo tion for the drawing of the jury from the Grand Jury panel be fore Judge Pendleton and there was no doubt Solicitor Dorsey would oppose it and very likely win his point. "The prosecution was ready June 39 In the case of the State vs. Leo M. P'rank, charged with the murder of little Mary Phagan on April 26 last. We have subpenaed all the witnesses, expecting to try this case on Monday- next. This date was set at the sug gestion of Judge L. S. Roan at the in stance of counsel for the defense. “We are disappointed that the jury was not drawn this morning as Judge Roan stated it would be done. “The State assuredly will be ready Monday unless something entirely un foreseen happens, and will ask trial of this man at that time.” Superior Judge John T. Pendleton declined to draw a jury for the Frank trial Thursday morning unt J : he heard definitely from Judge L. S. Roan whether the case would be opened next Monday. Judge Pendleton an nounced he would know definitely by 4 o’clock ThurExiay afternoon whether the case would be called Monday, and he would draw the jury at that time if necessary. Deputy Sheriff Pllnnie Miner had instructions from Judge Roan to have one of the other Judges draw the Jury Thursday unless he was no tified to the contrary. Miner heard nothing 1 om Judge Roan and carried the Jury box to Judge Pendleton to have th*- twelve panels drawn. He notified the attorneys for the State and the prosecution in ample time for them to be at the court. Solicitor Hugh M. Dorsey and his assistant were the only attorneys to put in an appearance. It developed Thursday morning that there were two rather ruffled chiefs at the police department the previous afternoon wnen Jim Conley was sneaked from his cell in the sta tion over to the Tower without their permission and without their knowl edge. Chief Lanford said: “This will never happen again.” Chief Beavers would not talk of the incident, but is understood to have .old the two detectives, Starnes ana Campbell, that if the negro were taken from the police station again he (Beavers) proposed to be in on it. There was a commotion at police headquarters Wednesday afternoon, when It was found that Conley had been spirited away to confront Newt Lee in the Tower. Chief Lanford knew nothing of the circumstance un til he was informed by The Georgian Let the Frank Trial Go On Leo Frank should be placed on trial Monday for the murder of Mary Phagan. The crime was committed April 26; Frank was arrested April 28; he was indicted May 23 and his trial set for June 30. At the suggestion of the judge in whose court the trial is to take place, a postponement was agreed on, and the date of the trial moved up to July 28. Now attempts are being made to secure another postponement. The only reason given to the public is that the weather is hot and it would be disagreeable to hold the trial in the summer. Of course it is hot, but it isn’t any hotter in the court room than it is in jail. Both the prosecution and the defense have had ample time to prepare their cases. If Frank is guilty, the State can prove his guilt as well now as later on; if he is innocent, the defense can prove his innocence as well in summer as in winter. The public has taken a keen interest in the Phagan case and it will demand that the man who killed her be punished, whether that man is Frank or someone else. Furthermore, it is tired of delays. Public sentiment is where it was on the date first set for Frank’s trial and it will be at the same place if the trial is delayed for a year. Atlantans are awaiting the trial with open minds. They are not holding themselves, up as judges. They know the law is supreme and they want it to take its course. But they want that course t^en without^eemingly endless delav
