FRANK TRIAL
Roan Expects Case Will Be Called
Monday—Deputies Serving
on 144 Veniremen.

veniremen whose names were drawn
Thursday afternoon by Judge John T.
Pendleton. It will be late Saturday
evening before the last man can *
served, nccordifie to Deputy Sheriff
Plennie Miner, who had charge of the
extra men.
The fact that the Jury actualb wn
drawn and several had been Nerved
Friday morning and that the State's
witnesses were already under sub-
pena to be at the courtroom Mon
day morning was the strongest assu
ance that the trial would actually
begin.
Judge Roan had been averse to put
ting the State to the expense of serv
ing the Jury until it was reasonably
certain the trial would begin, and lie
will urge that both aides go to trial
rather than inconvenience the Jury
and witnesses, many of whom will
make arrangements to absent them-
aelves from work to be at the court
room Monday.
Jim Conley was questioned again
late Thursday and was made to re
hearse his movements on the day of
the tragedy, being taken, to the va
rious places he asserted he visited
the forenoon and afternoon of April
26.
Chief Beavers assumed charge of
the negro, and was assisted by De
tectives Starnes and Campbell, who
had taken Conley to the Tower the
day before without the Chief’s per
mission.
Taken From Cell Secretly.
Conley was taken from the ’station
secretly, arid the four were in the
Chief’s automobile and out of sight
before the officers' intentions were
known. The negro was taken to Car
ter street and Electric avenue, the
point where William H. Mincey swears
he saw Conley the afternoon of April
26, and heard him boast of killing a
girl.
That the detectives are bending
every effort either to discredit or es
tablish definitely the Mincey affidavit
was made evident by the number of
persons they interviewed, with the
purpose of ascertaining if anyone had
seen Conley at the place and at the
time Mincey says he had his conver
sation with the negro.
Conley also was taken to the office
of Solicitor Dorsey, where he was
quizzed closely in regard to his re
ported remark when crowds began to
gather near the factory' that he “would
give a million dollars if he were a
white mam." The remark was said to
have been overheard by another ne
gro, and this negro %vas in the Solici
tor's office to confront Conley.
Chief Beavers would not divulge the
results of the afternoon’s work ex
cept to say that nothing had devol
oped to change his theory of the
crime.

POISE? SEE LIPSCOMB:
HE NEVER IS RATTLED
FRANCIS AI AGATE LIPSCOMB.
Doesn’t Take Job Too Seriously,
but His Tax Bill Has Every
one Thinking.
Representative Francis Adgate Lip-
scomb of Clarke, is poise personified.
He never gets excited about any
thing. and he always affects the cool-
est-looking clothes he can find.
No matter how accommodating the
weather man may be by way of sup
plying refreshing zephyrs and making
unnecessary electric fans, Lipscomb
comes forth from his lair daily ar
rayed in spotless white or cream of
lilies.
Even when making a speech—which
now and then the gentleman from
Clarke does—he smiles continuously
his most engaging smile, as if to say.
"Don't be alarmed, I really hate to do
this thing myself, and wouldn’t If it
were not more or less necessary in
my business!”
Lipscomb, in other words, takes his
legislative Job serlourly enough, but
not too seriously.
Most of his colleagues see in that a
commanding and winning virtue
They recognize Lipscomb as a mem
ber, earnest and purposeful enough,
but willing to give and take—to com
promise upOn sensible grounds, when
necessary, and to give the other fel
low credit for honesty, of opinion and
the right to do his own thinking.
In Athens Mr. Lipscomb stands
high in the business world. He has
served a number .of times in the City
Council and gave a fine account of
himself there. Generally, he is looked
upon as safe and sane, and apt to get
his hearings right enough on any
question.
His proposed tax equalization meas
ure is the most talked about bill now
before tlie Legislature, and is. in many
ways, the most important bill pend
ing.
If it passes, and it is predicted that
it will, Lipscomb's will be the well de
served glory.

ATLANTA EXHIBIT
Local Manufacturers To Be Allot
ted Booths at Permanent Dis
play Friday.
Space in the permanent exhibit of
Atlanta-made goods, which will be
established in the new headquarters
of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce
building at Auburn avenue and Pryor
street, will he allotted Friday after
noon at 5 o’clock. On account of the
limited space at the disposal of the
committee in charge of the allot
ment, it Is expected that a number of
local manufacturers will be present to
arrange for their exhibit.
Virtually every manufacturer of im
portance in the city has consented to
add an exhibit to the permanent dis
play, and those who do not come in
now are expected to Join the move
ment later.
The decision to establish the exhibit
in the Chamber of Commerce build
ing was made Thursday afternoon by
a special committee headed by Brooks
Morgan, which has been considering
various locations for several weeks
The committee favored the estab
lishment of the exhibit in the cham
ber's building from the beginning of
the movement, inasmuch as the cham
ber is the sponsor of the movement,
and several days ago the directors
were asked to name a price for a
lease on the upper floors of the build
ing.
In addition to the exhibit of their
goods, the building is being fitted up
with other features that are expected
to appeal to the manufacturers and
merchants who wi M join in the dis
play. A swimming pool, baths and a
gymnasium will be provided for the
manufacturers a..d members of th^*
chamber.

A simplified spelling book which
may revolutiolnze the method of
teaching the kids their A B <”s in the
grammar schools is being prepared
for publication by an Atlanta woman,
Mrs. Grace Keefer, of No. 80 East
Fourteenth street.
“SanderF* Square Speller” is the
title of the new book, which is a col
laboration of Home old ideas expressed
more than a half century ago by
Charles W. Sanders, author of the
original Sanders speller series, and
some new and strictly up-to-date
ideas which Mrs. Keefer, granddaugh
ter of the rioted author, has been
formulating for several years. The
book will be published in New York
under the copyright of Charles W.
Sanders •
Founded on Mathematics.
The book, Mrs. Keefer explains, i?
Just what its name implies—it is
"square,” or. in other words, it is
founded on mathematical principles
evolving from the first well-known
step in geometry—the straight line
connecting with another at right an
gles. Thif, Mrs. Keefer claims, is not
only the foundation of her. system of
spelling, but the basic principle of life
Itself. “Take your tw’o straight lines
forming the right angle,” she says,
“and then add your signs and sym
bols, including the crooks and curves
which characterize the more advanced
stages of geometry, and you have the
whole system of language, of geog
raphy, of history—even of life itself.”
In n nutshell the Handers system of
spelling is by signs and symbols—
Mrs. Keefer calls it “Signology.”
Meaning to Every Letter.
“-‘Every little letter has a meaning
all its ow n.’ ” w'as the characteristic
way in which Mrs. Keefer summed up
her unique system. “Take the letter
A. for instance, it stands at the head
always—it is "ahead.” and tlie letter
B, which I term aptly, I think, the
combining force. From an artist’s
viewpoint, alone, the letter B exhibits
this so-called “combining” and fur
ther, in many words, beginning with
B, such as ball, we discover this idea
of combination, compactness.
“And so on down the line—the let
ter C, carrying the symbolic idea of
contraction; D. the downward force;
E, the outward force, as indicated
clearly by the construction of the let
ter; F, the potential force, as in
‘face,’ for example; G, the carrying
force; H, uplift; I, the unit or basic
principle—and L. the right-angled
letter, or the letter of balance.”
Lucid Scheme Employed.
To make the scheme aa lucid as
possible to teachers as well as young
sters, Mrs. Keefer has prepared a se-
ri^p of simple illustrations, involving
her principles, to accompany each
letter of the alphabet. A further fea
ture of the unique sj'stem is the ar
rangement in squares of every word
containing three letters.
Mrs. Keefer Is a graduate of Vassar
College, class of ’90. Since leaving
college, and even before she has made
a close study of the original Hebrew,
which, she $<ays, is really the founda
tion of her system of spelling.
Bulgars Ask Aid in

SOFIA, July 25.—Her warlike
spirit curbed by the continued defeats
inflicted on her army by the other
Balkan States, Bulgaria to-day ap

Sidelights
GEORGIA
POLITICS
JAMES B-KEVIN
The daily morning prayer of the
blind Chaplain of the House of Rep
resentatives. the Rev. J. H. Ellis, is a
thanksgiving always.
Rather than petitioning for more
blessings and more abundant prosper
ity, the Chaplain devotes by far the
greater portion of his supplication in
the House to reminding the members
of the count’ess blessings they now
enjoy, and for which thev should ren
der ungrudgingly their thanks to the
Most High.
Not since he began his term of
service in thfc House has the blind
Chaplain started a prayer with words
other than these. "Our Heavenly Fa
ther. we thank Thee!” and so on to
the end of as simple and as sweet a
prayer as ever was delivered any
where.
The blind Chaplain of the House is
a most interesting person. He al
ways is at his post of duty, well in
advance of the Speaker's rap for or
der, and he remains after the House
gets down to work from 30 minutes to
an hour or more every day.
Mr. Ellis is slight of build, but clear
of voice. Few speakers on the floor
fill the House so completely as he, and
his prayers every morning are given
close attention. He is completely
blind and has to be led when walking.
He is a very lovable man, and the
Speaker hardly could have filled the
Chaplain's place more acceptably or
more sensibly.
The House meets every morning at
9 o’clock now, but there never is
a quorum present at roll call.
Try as the House will, it hardly
can get itself together before 10,
somehow. Members either sleep late,
are more or less indifferent to the
first 30 minutes or so, or resent being
called to work at 9. Whatever it is.
the hour of 9 generally finds the
House not more than half filled.
After the roll call is finished—un
less it is dispensed with, w’hich fre
quently It is—members drop in and
ask that they be recorded as present.
This courtesy generally is accorded
them without protest, and it gives the
tardy ones considerable leeway in the
matter of getting in late and still not
having the record recite the circum
stance.
Judge Robert Hodges, of Macon, is
in Atlanta to-day and spent quite a
time in the House and Senate, renew
ing old acquaintances and looking
things over.
Mr. Hodges represented Bibb Coun
ty in the House several times back
yonder—well, not so many years ago
after all—and was then one of the
best liked and most influential mem
bers. He was in the House when his
fellow-townsman, Augustus Octavius
Bacon, was first named Senator, anil
took a great part In the work of con
ferring the honor upon him.
In those days the Legislature elect
ed the Senators, without any sort of
primary instructions, and Senator
Bacon was named—he* was re-elected
to a fourth term unopposed a few
days since—after a hard fight.
"Bob” Hodges, then nerving his first
term, was the man who carried the
news from the Capitol to the Kimbail
House.
Judge Hodges has presided over
the City Court of Macon for some
twelve years, and is regularly re
named without opposition. Indeed, it
is extremely doubtful whether Judge
Hodges could be defeated for his
present office, no matter who under
took the job.
Occasionally Speaker Burwell yanks
the House back to business rather
abruptly, when it gets negligent or
lags *n its work.
In passing local measures it is nec
essary to agree to the report of the
committee before a bill may be passed,
and this agreement is made upon a
verbal division merely.
The other day the Speaker pro
posed the uninteresting status thus:
“Those who favor agreeing to the re
port of the committee will say ‘Aye.’ ”
Nobody said anything.
Burwell whacked the much-abused
block of wood in front of him for or
der, and yelled the status of.the House
again, and with decided emphasis,
moreover.
This time the committee report was
agreed to by a chorus of “ayes” that
might have been heard to Whitehall
street.
Then Burwell smiled, and the House
laughed good-naturedly, and there
wap no more trouble that day.
The county of Barrow was given a
temporary setback yesterday, when
the Senate, by a margin of four votes,
declined to ratify the action of the
House committee, the House and the
Senate committee in favoring it.
The advocates of Barrow still are
very much in the ring, however. The
hill will be reconsidered—it takes a
majority only of the Senate to do this,
and the Senate is for Barrow by a big
majority—and then it will go over to
the next session
No more gallant fight ever has been
made in the Legislature than the one
put up for Barrow. This is the fourth
time that plucky community has come
to the Legislature, only to be knifed
and bushwhacked to death in one
chamber or the other. It will come
again, however—and eventually Bar-
row County will be created.
It has the one thing behind it that
so many new-county proposals la’ck—
genuine and admitted merit.
Senator McNeil is an eloquent and
forceful speaker. He has a sense of
genuine humor, too. that often crops
out in his speeches unconsciously, but
most engagingly.
Speaking of the Legislature and the
cost of it Thursday, Senator McNeil
said: “Why, Senators, do you know
it costs the State $1,500 per day to
run this show?”
The Senate tittered, and one Sena
tor stage-whispered. “You mean ’cir
cus.’ don’t you. McNeil?” And Mc
Neil smiled his acceptance of the
amendment.

EUROPE'S SEA
Roger Sullivan Declares U. S.
Must Awake to Its Opportuni
ties When Canal Opens.
Special Cable to The Georgian.
PARIS, July 24.—"The United
States is sleeping while Europe 'is
snatching the opportunity under our
noses,” said Roger C. Sullivan, of
Chicago, to-day. Accompanied by
former Mayor John Hopkins, of Chi
cago, he had just arrived in Paris
after a visit of two months to South
America.
“The opening of the Panama Canal
is sure greatly to increase the al
ready vast commercial interests of
South America,” declared Mr. Sulli
van, “and the leading nations of Eu
rope, foreseeing this result, are busily
engaged in building ships.
"Our Government should imme
diately take steps to subsidize the
merchant marine, otherwise it may
be too late. Private capital unaided
by the Government can not hope to
coin pete with the established mer
chant fleets of foreign countries. It
is shameful that a citizen of the
United States wishing to visit South
America is obliged to travel in Brit
ish owned ships.
“I want to right now that there
are some fine "ities in South Amer
ica. There are mighty few things in
Chicago that Rio de Janeiro and
Buenos Ayres lack. They hav** beau
tiful theaters and public buildings,
broad boulevards and vigorous popu
lations.
“Their ports, harbors and docks
make Chicago look cheap. We do
not pay enough attention to our
waterways. What is needed now is
a great harbor somewhere on the
Gulf of Mexico, either at New Or
leans or Mobile.
“Then if we subsidized the mer
chant marine our South American
trade would soon swell to great pro
portions.”

Doubt Report That
Dr. Jacobs Bought
Burns' Manuscripts
Members of the family of Dr. Jo
seph Jacobs are not inclined to be
lieve the report that he has purchased
the famous Glenriddell manuscripts of
Robert Burns for a sum exceeding
$25,000 bid several years ago by J,
Pierpont Morgan. The purchase of
the manuscripts by the Atlantan is
told of In London dispatches.
”1 don’t think there is any truth
to the report.” Dr. Sinclair Jacobs,
son of Dr. Jacobs, said Friday morn
ing. “If the manuscripts had been
purchased we undoubtedly would
have been notified, and we have heard
nothing of it except what we have
read in the papers. Dr. Jacobs, so
far as I know, has not been near
London on his present trip to Europe.”
According to the London dispatches.
Dr. Jacobs purchased the manuscripts
from a dealer in London, who recent
ly bought them from the Liverpool
Athenaeum. It is said that the deal
between Dr. Jacobs and the dealer
was pending at the time of the first
purchase of the manuscripts, and that
the London dealer was merely Dr. Ja
cobs’ agent in the transaction.
