Miss Cauble Dreams of Future With Metropolitan BRAND
Governor Keeps Silence While His
Friends Sound Georgia, and the
Hoke Smith Clan Prepares to
Decide the Factional Struggle,
Joe Brown and His Successor Will
Undoubtedly Get Together on
Program Before Announcement
Is Made of Either’s Candidacy.
There is a well-defined, positive and
, aggressive movement on to nominate
Governor John M. Slaton for Senator
in next year’s primary.
The Governor himself is not known
to be a party to it, and the impres
sion is that he is not, at least, di
rectly.
Nevertheless, the Slaton senatorial
boom is on, and it is causing no end
of comment, not only among mem
bers of the Legislature now in At
lanta and visiting statesmen, but
throughout the State generally.
Governor Slaton certainly has said
no public word that can be twisted
cr construed into the suggestion of
his senatorial candidacy, and it prob
ably is true that he has given the
matter only the most casual thought
thus far.
It is generally taken for granted
that Senator Hoke Smith will be a
candidate to succeed himself. He has
served a portion of Senator Clay's
unexpired term and has given his
friends to understand that he will be
in the August primary of next year.
Brown Name Discussed.
If there is to be a hotly contested
senatorial campaign next year, there
fore, it likely will open along about
M?ay.
Before Governor Brown retired
• from the Executive Office, his name
frequently was discussed for the
senatorial succession.
The wiser and more experienced
observers of things political in Geor
gia predict confidently that Governor
Slaton and former Governor Brown
will not both be in the senatorial race,
and that whichever announces, if
either, it will be with a pretty thor
ough understanding of what the oth
er will do.
The dopesmiths. therefore, are fig
uring a senatorial race next year with
Senator Smith on the one hand and
either Governor Brown or Governor
Slaton on the other.
Which one it shall be probably will
be thrashed out between this time
and January 1, 1914.
If Governor Slaton elects to have
a try for the Senate next year, there
by giving up the Governorship at the
expiration of a first term, it will pre
cipitate a very warm fight for the
Executive succession, and already ru
mor is fixing that up also.
Both Factions Groom Men.
In the event Governor Slaton an
nounces for the Senate, it is said that
Congressman Hardwick will be put
in the race for Governor by the
friends of Senator Smith, and that
Congressman Gordon Lee or former
President of the Senate W. S. West
will be his opponent, put forth by
the Slaton and Brown people.
In addition to the aforementioned
gubernatorial prospects reported
more or less willing to have them
selves figured upon, it is being stage-
whispered that Speaker Burwell and
‘President Anderson, of the present
Legislature, have their ears to the
ground, and Attorney General Thom
as S. Felder is another Barkis
thought to be not absolutely and al
together unwilling.
Old Foes Once More.
Of course, if the Slaton senatorial
boom really isn’t a boom at all, and
if the Governor should put a quietus
upon it, why, then, the rather pret
ty and thrilling house of cards the
wise political bigwigs have set up
will tumble down, and the next sen
atorial race will resolve itself, per
haps. into a fight between thos e an
cient enemies, Senator Hoke Smith
and former Governor “Little Joe”
Brown.
If that race materializes, it will he
hot enough for all ordinary purposes,
to be sure, and in a way it would be
more clean cut and demonstrative of
genuine strength, moreover.
It would line up for a final battle
royal the two factions that have dis
puted control in Georgia for many
years, with the assured prospect
ahead that a settlement had come at
last to stay put.
That there will be a merry war for
the senatorial succession next year
is not to be doubted. Senator Smith's
friends realize it and make no bones
of admitting it.
They, however, express themselves
as perfectly willing to meet the is
sue thus set up, if that becomes nec
essary.
They call attention to his undoubt
ed influence in the Senate and bis
closeness to the White House- and
they assert that he is more useful
to Georgia in Washington than he
was evenin the State Capitol in At-
lnnta.
On the other hand, the Senator’s
unloving friends claim that far from
withdrawing from Georgia politics
since he was sent to W T a?hington. he
is more intimately engaged iri under
taking to shape things locally than
ever before, and that his hand fig
ures in every political frame-up es
sayed. even to the smallest and most
inconsequential postoffices.
Friends Ask Help
For Family in Need
Friends have appealed to the public
for aid for Mrs. Carrie Barton an1
her six children, who are in destitute
circumstances at No. 87 South Jack-
son stTeet.
It is stated that Mrs. Barton’s hus
band has practically deserted her,
sending a little money occasionally,
but not enough to keep on- alive. 1 ho
family is in need of food, and the
generous people of Atlanta ire asked
to help them.
Visitor in Atlanta Will Join Forces of Russian
Company at Beginning of Season.
To-day Miss Miriam Cauble is in
Atlanta as a visitor. She goes to
dances, to the picture shows, on auto
mobile rides and generally leads the
elysian existence that is the lot of a
courted visitor.
Some day, however, she will be here
as a grand opera star of the Metro
politan company and sing to the
brilliant audiences in the Auditorium.
With all the assurance of a young
woman confident of her own ability,
Miss Cauble makes the promise. Al
ready she has been working for years
toward the goal. In addition to her
natural ability, she has had the ad
vantage of personal, affectionate in
struction by Mrs. McDonald Sheri
dan, a former Atlantan, whose pro
tegee she is. Mrs. Sheridan is the
teacher, also, of Miss Margaret Wil
son, the President's daughter.
Joins Russian Opera Company.
Miss Cauble’s dreams of a career
as a singer first came when she was
a student at the Georgia Brenau. at
Gainesville. So well have they work
ed out that within a few- weeks she
will join the Russian Grand Opera
Company, in New York, to begin an
engagement for which its director,
Max Rabinoff, sought her out
She will spend a season with that
company in Montreal, later returning
to New York for performances there.
The repertoire of the company in
cludes 26 classic operas, and this
Southern girl will work as understudy
to the principals. And this is her
first season in grand opera.
Miss Cauble. whose home is in
Greenville. S. C., is practically an At
lanta girl. She has been here often,
and is popular among the younger
set. She visits her cousin. Mrs. C.
W. Thomas, in Druid circle.
After her graduation at Gainesville.
Miss Cauble sang in concert two sum
mers, spending the other months of
two years in study under Mrs. Sheri
dan. in New York. She is Mrs. Sheri
dan's most intimate pupil. It was
through Mrs. Sheridan that she ob
tained the position with the Russian
Grand Opera Company.
Dreamed of Work.
“When I was a schoolgirl at Bre
nau.’’ said Miss Cauble yesterday, “I
dreamed of work in musical fields. I
had no thought then of grand opera,
but now that I have entered it. I
have set out to work toward the
highest place and toward a position
with the Metropolitan company.”
Early next month Miss Cauble will
join Mrs. Sheridan for final instruc
tion before beginning her first grand
opera season. Mrs. Sheridan is a
friend of the family of President
Woodrow' Wilson, as Miss Margaret
Wilson’s instructor. She wdll spend
the summer near the W T ilson home, in
Cornish. N. H.. and it Is there that
Miss Cauble will be with her for the
period of coaching.
CHARGES FALSE
Detectives Declare City Police and
Dorsey Were Told All Evi
dence They Developed,
Emohatic denial of the charges by
Chief of Detectives Lanford that he
had kept bad faith with the city de
partment in connection with the inves
tigation of the murder of Mary Pha-
gan was made by H B. Pierce, super
intendent of the Pinkerton Detective
Agency in Atlanta, Saturday night.
Chief Lanford’s accusations against
the Pinkerton official were mainly
that he had withheld evidence from
the city police, especially the blood
stained stick and the pay envelope of
the Phagan girl, both of which were
found by Pinkerton operatives on the
first floor of the factory and were lat
er reported in possession of the de
fense. The Chief intimated that the
Police Board would be asked to take
action against Pierce personally.
“The stick was submitted to Chief
Lanford by myself.’’ declared Mr.
Pierce. The Mary Phagan pay en
velope was shown him by our repre
sentative, Harry Scott.
Scoffs Stick Story.
“When I displayed the stick to Mr
Lanford. he informed me that it could
not have been found In the place It
was reported found, as a minute
search of every bit of the three flooi*s
in the factory already had been in
spected by two of the city detectives
in company with Mr. Scott. Under
this information, we cast the stick
aside and did not regard it as evi
dence and though* nothing else about
it until I read about it in the news
papers—I think, Thursday.
“The stick was turned over to Mr.
Rosser. When I learned a day or t4vn
ago that Mr. Dorsev had not heard of
it. I went to Mr. R« sser’s office, ob
tained the stick, and took it to Mr.
Dorsey. Mr. Dorsey, I understand,
does not think mum of the stick as
evidence, and neither .Joes Mr. Ros
ser.
“As to it being planted evidence, I
desire to say that I believe Mr. Ros
ser to be entirely too honorable to
have beer, connected with the plant
ing of evidence, while I also hold the
same opinion of Mr. Dorsey.
"Inasmuch as two city detectives
and Mr. Scott had made a minute in
vestigation of the factory before the
time of the reported finding of the
stick. I do not regard the stick highly
as evidence.
‘'Scott Has B«*n Fair.”
“The policy of the Pinkerton Agen
cy is to be fair and impartial in its
investigations. Mr. Scott has been
absolutely in charge of this investiga
tion. and I think th* least that could
be said is that h* has been absolutely
fair with the police. Solicitor General
and the National Pencil Company
people in his work upon it.”
Mr. Scott was with Mr. Pierce at
the time of the interview He said he
did not remember hearing the con
versations between Chief Lanford and
Pierce regarding the stick.
”1 submitted the pay envelope to
Chief Lanford, though,’’ he said. “He
asked me for it. and I said that I pre
ferred to keep it. The Police Depart
ment has been advised of everything
we have developed in the case, while
the same Is true of the Solicitor Gen
eral and Mr Ropser.”

Dublin Cleans City
With Vice Crusade
! Mass Meeting Calls on Police and
Council to Wipe Out
Social Evil.
DUBLIN, July 26.—Dublin is in the
midst of a vice crusade, and the City t
Council and Police Department are j
being a.»ked to take a hand.
A called meeting of Council was
held this week and a body of about
representative men went before
the city officials and called their at
tention to the fart that lewd houses
are being operated in the city limits,
that blind tigers are plentiful, that
the city is "wide open" on Sunday.
A censorship also was asked for
the motion picture shows.
Speeches were made by many of
the citizens and by the Mayor, and
the crowd finally left, after being as
sured that the Police Department and
the Council would do their utmost to
abate th* evils. There was no word
of criticism, and the discussion was
entirely friendly. The meeting gives
promise of bringing good results, and
the city will experience another moral
house cleaning that bids fair to reach
Into all the dark corners and get all
the things that should not be there.
‘Turkey-Tillion’
Stirs Old-Timers
3 A
Veldosta Folk Startled by Modern
Freak Dances of Younger
Society Set.
VALDOSTA. July 26.—Society is
agog to-day over some of the extreme
modern dances introduced for the first
time in this city at a ball given in
the parlors of one of the principal
hotels last night. Most of the tan
goes, trots and wiggles were danced,
ana with an abandon and zest that
rather shocked the old-timers present.
The dance is described as a “turkey -
tillion.” and was attended by a large
number of the younger leaders in !-o-
clety. From the familiar and simple
turkey trot it was only a short step to
the more extreme and newer dances.

trie.
FEARS FELT OF
MINER RIOT AF
BIG CONFERENCE
Copper Workers Show Resent
ment When Michigan Governor
Fails To Come to Scene.
CALUMET, MICH., July 26.—Ap-
prehension was felt here to-night fol
lowing the announcement that the
striking copper miners will hold a
giant demonstration to-morrow in
which the miners and trammers of
the Calumet and Keweenaw mines
will participate. Fearing trouble
might result. Brigadier General Abby
dispatched troops to various mining
locations where there have been dis
turbances and announced martial law
would be declared the instant there
was any appearance of disorder or
rioting.
Striking miners to-night expressed
resentment over the failure of Gov
ernor Ferris to come here and take
charge of the situation. They ex
pressed the belief that in not com
ing. but in sending troops instead, he
listened rather to the mining com
panies than to advices from their
side. The labor officials fee! that
sooner or later there must be a rigid
investigation of industrial conditions
in the Michigan copper regions, and
they hold that now is the right time
for this investigation.
Following to-morrow's demonstra
tions a mass meeting will be held,
when it is planned to pass strong
resolutions, demanding the presence
and intervention of Governor Ferris.
The situation remained quiet to
day. The only trouble reported was
In the Calumet district, where a non
union sympathizer was badly beaten
by strikers. The disorder was of
short duration. At the Quincy mine
a big demonstration of union men
was held during the funeral of a
member of the Federation.
