the employ of the Southern Express
Company seeking S. J. Smith, missing
agent of the company at Warwick,
have gained no clew as to his present
whereabout.*.
It is alleged that on the same night
that it is charged Smith misappro
priated all of the funds on hand, in
cluding the receipts of the office for

Swimming, Rambles in Woods, Auto-Rides and
Sleeping Outdoors Give New Lease on Life.
If'you do not believe the simple life
1s conducive to better work, ask some
of the heads of departments of the
Bell Telephone Company. They’ll tell
you that since the establishment of
Camp Wyanoke at Lakewood Heights,
where the young women employees of
the company spend their vacations
and their week-ends, the work of the
“hello girls,” the stenographers and
the other young women who work in
the big building at Mitchell and Pryor
streets, has greatly improved.
“The idea we had in mind when
Camp Wyanoke was established,”
Miss Katherine Tatum, who is* in
charge of the camp, said, Thursday
morning, “is working out splendidly.
The girls come back to Atlanta after
a few days or a week’s stay at tne
camp invigorated and almost with a
new lease on life. They have breathed
pure, fresh air; they have worked
about the camp, and they return to
their work with a vim and a determi
nation that is usually lacking during
the hot summer months.”
Simple Life Throughout.
The simple life is lived in all its
phases at Camp Wyanoke. With the
exception of the harder and unfa
miliar work of cooking all the work is
done by the girls. They wash dishes.
wash their own clothing—or most of
it—keep house, sew and dtfa hundred
and one other tasks.
When work is done they go swim
ming and wading, or take long rides
in the automobiles the company sends
out to them several times a week.
Every "Wednesday and Saturday
nights there are dances and games of
various kinds.
The practice of sleeping in the open
air is considered by Miss Tatum one
of the best features of the camp. It
gives many girls who heretofore have
been cooped up in tiny city rooms* a
chance to recuperate.
Sunday School in Camp.
Every girl employed by the com
pany is given a chance to taste the
joys of camp life. Those who had
taken their vacations before the camp
was installed have been given a leave
of absence of three or four days, that
they might visit the camp. Others
spend their entire vacation there.
There are always about twenty girls
at the camp, and on Saturday and
Sunday this number is sometimes
swelled to a hundred, by the girls who
come out to spend Sunday. Sunday
school is held in the open air under
the trees, and is usually attended by
about a hundred young women.
Factory Supplants
Farm as Exporter
WASHINGTON, July 24.—How the
United States is changing from
great exporter in foodstuffs to manu
factures is shown in every report is
sued nowadays by the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce.
The bureau’s latent figures show
growth in exports of manufactures
from $468,00,000 in 1903 to $1,200,000,-
000 in the fiscal year just closed and
in manufacturers’ materials from
$409,000,000 to $740,000,000. while the
exports of foodstuffs remained at *
standstill, $510,000,000 having been
the value of the exports in that line
both in 1913 and 1903.
Headless Body of
Girl Found at Sea
BOSTON, July 24.—The finding of
the headless body of an apparently
well -to-do young woman at sea, 35
miles east of the Georges Bank by
Captain Charles White, of the Glou
cester fishing schooner Jennie H. Gil
bert, is believed to reveal a death by
violence at sea, possibly on a trans-
Atlantic liner.
The body was found ten miles south
of the southerly track of trans-
Atlantic steamers, about 170 miles out
from Boston. Corsets of apparently
expensive make, a black shirtwaist,
portions of a dark green silk skirt and
high button boots were on the body.
phoes, clothing and like articles are
made. The fire was extinguished by
the prison fire department after It had
swept the shoeshop.
The entire penal population IS be
ing kept under lock in fear of further
outbreaks.
Fire Laid to Trusties.
The attempt to burn the prison
building came early to-day after a
night of wild excitement ip the prison.
When the warden, James H. Clan-
cey, was told of the threats, he di
rected that no prisoners, excepting
the trusties, should be allowed out of
their cells. It is believed that some
of the trusties, acting under orders f
their imprisoned fellows, applied the
match to the clothing factory build
ing.
As the fire raged the criminals be
hind locked doors set up a terrific din.
They shouted “fire,’’ called vile names,
beat their doors and made the prison
hideous with noise.
“We want Kennedy,” came the
constant chant above the din.
Protest Warden’s Removal.
This protest against the removal of
the former warden, who was indicted
by the Westchester County Grand
Jury, was the keynote of the entire
rebellion that for 36 hours has had
the State’s largest penal institution in
a state of mutiny.
All night long the convicts kept up
their riotous demonstration. They
made the food the first basis of com
plaint. They contemptuously tossed
away bits of food and went to their
cells surly and disobedient.
Guards are on duty to-day all along
the prison walls, the officers fearing
that the sullen convicts may make a
concerted effort to escape.
Seeking to relieve the perilous sit
uation at the prison, Warden Clancey
this afternoon made* arrangements
with the railroad to take 200 second
and third term prisoners to Auburn
to-morrow. With these riotous pris
oners out of the way, the warden be
lieves he can restore order in the in
stitution.
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 Us 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
grafted 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

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 sft 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.”
While hundreds* of pedestrians,
many of them women and children,
looked on. two men engaged in a
stabbing affray on Peachtree street
across from the Candler Building
Thursday morning. One of the men
received serious injuries.
The wounded man gave his name
»s« Burnett Goodman. He said he was
manager of the gum company and
lived at No. 36 Moore street. His as
sailant gave his namfe as M. B War**,
41 years old, a real estate operator
living at No. 30 Highland avenue.
Ware is a one-armed man. He was
released on bond of $100.
Goodman was slashed about the
right side of the face and neck'. He
was taken to the Grady Hospital. Aft
er his injuries were attended to he
was removed to the police station,
where a charge of disorderly conduct
was lodged against him
Refuses to Explain Attack.
Ware, who voluntarily surrendered
to Policeman Bostwick, declared that
“he had cut him because he wanted to
cut him." Other than that, he re
fused to give an explanation of his
action.
Ware used a pocket knife as his
weapon.
According to Obodman, Ware at
tacked him without provocation.
“I was walking down the street with
a friend, when Ware came up to me
and without a word began striking
at me with a knife. I dodged his
blows as well as I could and tried to
run, but the knife caught me twice
across the face. Then I got away and
ran, hut Ware followed me. If it had
not been for someone stopping him
he would have killed me, I believe.”
Bet Given as Cause of Fight.
The affair is said to have been the
result of an argument over a “book”
on a baseball game. According to In
formation given the police, Ware on
Wednesday made a bet with Good
man of $125 on the game played that
afternoon.
It was said that Goodman was ac
customed to making “books” on base
ball games, and that Ware, in lieu of
the cash to put up, posted a $20 for
feit to cover his bet.
Acording to the report, Ware failed
to put up the remaining $105 before
the game was played, and when the
team which he bet on won, and he at
tempted to collect the bet from Good
man. the bookmaker refused to pay.
The two are declared to have had
some difficulty at that time, but re
frained from violence. Thursday
morning, however, when they met, the
stabbing ensued.

from the State reunion, held July 16
and 17 at Brunswick, are enthusiastic
over the hospitality tendered them.
About ten veterans from Atlanta were
present and the total attendance was
nearly 500.
Colonel J. Jefferson Thomas reports
the reunion one of the most enjoyable
he ever attended. The Daughters of

A demand for trial o f Leo M.
Frank, accused of the slaying
of Mary Phagan, without further
delay, was made Thursday by
Solicitor General Hugh M. Dor
sey. In a statement to The Geor
gian he said:
"The prosecution was ready June 30
in the case of the State vs. Leo M.
Frank, charged with the murder of
little Mary Phagan on April 26 last.
We have served all the witnesses ex
pecting 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.”
• Jury Not Drawn.
Superior Judge John T. Pendleton
declined to draw a jury for the Frank
trial Thursday morning until 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 Thursday afternoon whether
the case would be called Monday, and
he would draw the jury at that time if
necessary.
Deputy Sheriff Plinnie Miner had
instructions from Judge Roan to have
one of the other judges draw the jury
Thursday morning unless he was no
tified to the contrary. Miner heard
nothing from Judge Roan and carried
the jury box to Judge Pendleton to
have the twelve panels drawn. Ho
notified the attorneys for the State
anl 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.
Attorney Reuben Arnold, according
to Judge Pendleton, had gone to Cov
ington to confer with Judge Roar.,
and the Judge was expected to return
to the city before 4 o’clock, when it is
possible the attorneys will confer with
him and definitely settle the question.
Dorsey Must Be Consulted.
Prosecuting Attorney Hugh M.
Dorsey announced he would fight
vigorously any move to postpone the
trial without first giving him a hear
ing on the subject.
It developed Thursday morning
that there were two rather ruffled
chiefs at the police department the
previous afternoon when 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
told the two detectives, Starnes and
Campbell, that if the negro were tahen
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
Even then he insisted that Conley was
in his cell.
Then Detectives Explain.
He went to Chief Beavers’ office to
see if permission had been given there
for Conley’s removal. Beavers said
he did not know Conley was gone.
Station Sergeant Holcomb wag ap
pealed to. He said he had not been
notified that the prisoner was to be
taken away. Turnkey Bayne, the la.?^
resort, was asked to explain the mys*
