Springing from his hiding place, Jackson placed her under arrest. Pleads for Girl Thie*. Miss Tatum was Informed and the girl taken to police headquarters.

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 th3 other girls in the camp. She Just couldn’t help it."

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, ldent 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- 4 servient to their will in conformity to the Constitution and laws of the coun- fbv, and each department of the Gov ernment, if its institutions are to be preserved, must be kept within the limitations of Its power* 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 1r the only power vested In the President in respect of the making of laws. There Is no warrant in the I 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 view s coincided with those injected into the Democratic platform of 1904 and he* quoted from the declaration of prin- I ciples drawn by the Democratic par ty at that time. In concluding hi* speech. Senator Works said: "I have approached this subject w'ith reluctance and purely from a sense of duty. 1 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 h1s 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.” THE WEATHER. Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia — Thundershowers Thursday and Friday. Lightning ‘Scrubs’ Tower at Terminal One of the most freakish stunts ever performed by lightning in At lanta was discovered Thursday as a result of the striking of one of the towers of the Terminal Station. The brick and fancy work on both towers had been stained black by smoke, but the lightning cleaned one as perfectly as though It had been scrubbed. The other, still black, presents a striking contrast. The shock of the stroke was felt in the waiting room and almost caused a panic. Little damage was done to the tower, but electrical and chemical ex perts still are unable to solve the' mystery of Its magic cleaning.

Showers Thursday night or Friday is the forecast for Atlanta and vi cinity. Mann Stops Work of House by Filibuster WASHINGTON.

FIGHT II DELAY Solicitor Disappointed Wfien Court Fails to Draw Jury Panels at Time Planned. With the belief growing that a serious effort is being made to delay the trial of Leo Frank, set for next Monday, Solicitor Gen eral Hugh M. Dorsey Thursday renewed his protest against further postponement in a vigo rous statement, declaring the prosecution is ready with a com plete case against the National Pencil Company factory head, ac cused of killing Mary Phagan. The trial date rests entirely with Judge Roan, who is In Covington. The drawing of the jury venire await ed word from him. expected some time during the afternoon. At his home It was said the Judge would not return until to-morrow. Reuben R. Arnold, of counsel for Frank, was said to have consulted w’ith Judge Roan In Covington and presented arguments for delay, but the truth of this report could not be established. Judge Leaves for Atlanta. Judge Pendleton, who will conduct the drawing of the Jury, said Thurs day afternoon that he had received no word from Judge Roan and would proceed unless he did. A long distance message from Cov ington had it that Judge Roan left shortly before 2 o'clock for Atlanta and the indications were that ft would he known definitely before Thursday night whether the long- awaited trial will begin Monday or be delayed once more. In a statement to The Georgian, Solicitor Dorsey said: "The prosecution was ready June 30 In the case of the State vs Leo M. Frank, charged with the murder tjf little Mary Phagan on April 26 last. We have subpena^Ki 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- I Btance of counsel for the defense. “We are disappointed that the Jury 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 1 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 art not holding themselves up as judges. They know the law la supreme and they want it to take its course. But they want [that course taken without seemingly endless delays.
