WASHINGTON, July 26.—The se- lection of Adam E. Patterson, a ne gro, of Muskogee, Okla., for Register of the Treasury by President Wilson has created a stir here among South ern Democrats, who declare they will fight the negro’s confirmation to the last ditch. Patterson, a lawyer and author of several treatises on the Democratic party, has received the indorsement of Senator Gore and Representative Car ter. of Oklahoma, it Is said. With these two exceptions,, the Oklahoma delegation is solid against him. Race Antagonism Seen. * Southern Democrats, including Rep resentatives Davenport and Murray, of Oklahoma, condemn the selection of Patterson on the grounds that a negro should not be placed in a po sition where he will exert authority over white men and women, thus an tagonizing the races. Besides, they poj.nt_out that Okla homa’s Constitution makes the negro a negligible factor in politics. The *.1ob for which Patterscn has been se- I lected pays $5,000 per year. During the last three Republican! administrations a negro has held this office. The first of the trio was Jud- son Lyons, of Augusta, Ga. Next came William T. Vernon, of Missis sippi. The third and present negro Register is .J. C. Napier, of Nash ville. Tenn. Believes Him Capable. “While I believe this man to be ca pable.” said Representative Daven port, “I do not believe any colored man should be placed in a position of authority over white men and white women. ’I don’t think anything ought to be done to accentuate the race question.’’ Representative Murray, commonly known as “Alfalfa Bill,” said he was surprised at the President’s action in selecting Patterson, and believed it was a political mistake on the lat ter’s part. The grandfather clause in the Oklahoma Constitution, he said, made the negro a negligible factor in politics. Confirmation Is Opposed. Other Southern Democrats, while not hesitating to express themselves, h-efused to be quoted in regard to the matter. That they will put their shoulders to the wheel and fight hard against the confirmation when it comes up in the Senate is certain, however, it is said. Patterson w’as selected from a num ber of negro applicants, including W. K. Clements, of Charlotte, N. C., who had received the indorsement of sev eral members of the State delegation.

Detective Head Also Asserts Pha- gan Evidence Private Sleuth Unearthed Was Plant. Chief of Detectives Lanford roundly scored H. B. Pierce, head of the Pinkerton Detective Agency in Atlanta, Saturday, for what he termed questionable pro cedure in connection with the ’ Phajran murder investigation. When application was made by the agency for permission to operate in Atlanta and the mat ter was under consideration by the Police Board, the promise was made that the Pinkertons would work in harmony with the city detective department and would co-operate in the apprehension of criminals. This promise, according to Lanford, has been kept by all connected with the agency with the exception of Pierce. The Chief intimated that the Bolice Board would be asked to take action against Pierce personally. Lanford Hints at “Plant." "In the Phagan case Mr. Scott has reported to this department every day and has turned over ail the evi dence he has found.” said Chief Lan ford. “During fiis absence from the city a bloody stick and an envel ope, supposed to have been that in which the money due Mary Phagan was placed, were turned over to the attorneys for the defense, and no mention of the fact made to the de tective department. “The place where these articles were reported to have been found had been sarched by officers so thoroughly that it was an absolute impossibility for them to have been overlooked. In fact, a search for ten feet around had been made for blood spots. “In addition to this, the insurance company had all the rubbish removed from this part of the building and the floor scrubbed afterward and before the articles were said to have been found. They were not there at the time, and if they w r ere found there, a* Mr. Pierce claims, they were placed there for a purpose. Charges Breach of Faith. “Mr. Pierce has not made good hi* promise (or the promise of his com pany) to the Police Board, and if the matter is taken up by the board, I will give them the facts.” The Police Board probably will take the matter up at its next meet ing. Harry Scott, who has conducted the investigation into the Phagan murder mystery for the Pinkertons since the services of the agency were engaged, was subpenaed Saturday as a witness in behalf of Leo M. Frank by counsel for the factory* superin tendent. The detective previously had been served with a subpena from So licitor Dorsey’s office. Inasmuch as Scott’s attitude almost from the first has appeared to be dis tinctly unfavorable to Frank, this move on the part of the defense was generally unexpected and was the cause of considerable surprised com ment. Scott, however, is known to be in possession of facts that seem on their face damaging to the negro Conley, as well as facts that are being used to bring about the conviction of Frank. "I wish it understood that I am wholly neutral in this matter." said Scott Saturday afternoon in remark- THE WEATHER. Forecast for Atlanta and Georgia—Local thundershow ers Saturday and Sunday.
