2 n TTEARRT’S SUNDAY AMERICAN, ATLANTA, DA., SUNDAY, JULY 27, 1913 TITANIC COURT ST Continued From Page 1. That the trial will be a titanic fight. Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey. Frank Hooper and Assistant Solicitor Stephens wili conduct the case against Frank. The three are known as ag gressive, tireless lawyers. The Solic itor General has put Into the State's ca*e all the energy for which he Is noted. At the very first he took charge of the case with a masterful hand, and when the mystery seemed beyond no tation he set an army of detectives to work Through all the, stress of a veering public opinion, he has hel<. firmly to the course he had set, defi ant. obviously preparing for thegre^t fight of his career as a public prose cutor. In most of the preliminary legal battles, especially in his hardest fight against the indictment of Con ley. he has been successful. The Solicitor General, from the evi dence in his hands, believes In the guilt of Frank. He will defend his conviction to the end. The defence presents a corps of at torneys who are reputed to be as able criminal lawyers as the South can produce. Luther Z. Rosser, county attorney, is the towering figure of the defense He is a pitiless questioner of witnesses and cross-examination* which he conducts* are generally pro ductive of significant results. The defi^nse w ill build Its greatest hope, it is expected, on the charge that Jim Con lev killed the Phagan girl Jim Conley will he one of the witnesses against Frank, and all the force, all the ruthless power of Luther Rosser’s questions will be brought into play against the negro. The public ex pects a wonderful psychological dem onstration on the hour the negro takes the stand. Arnold Striking Figure. No less powerful as a criminal law yer is Reuben R Arnold, who was re tained by the defense to co-operate with Mr Rosser. Arnold is a brilliant lawyer, and always a spectacular and compelling figure in the criminal cases w'ith which he is connected. A elated with Rosser and Arnold in the case will be Herbert Haas and Sam Boorstln, who were employed by the Frank family when Leo Frank first was arrested, and who have been zealous In conducting the score of in vestigations that were made neces sary by the unexpected turns which Incidents took time after time. The trial will be called Monday morning in the Superior Court room on the first floor of the courthouse, at South Pryor and Hunter ntreets The room, which is the largest available to the Stat? courts, is expected to he all too small for the crowd that will come, eagerly curious and expectant. A strict police supervision of tne crowds will he necessary, and ar rangements already are being made by court officials to prevent conges tion or disturbance. Special deputies will be employed for the occasion, and altogether it is expected that twenty officers will guard the courtroom. The little army will be in charge of Deputy Sheriff Miner, who will he stationed at the main entrance. According to the plan, all principals In the case, {til who are interested as lawyers, rela tives. witnesses and press represen tatives. will be admitted before any spectators are allowed to enter. After them the spectators will he admitted, one by one. until the seats In the room are filled. Then the doors will be locked. It has been sugested In the Sheriff's office that every person admitted to the courtroom w r lll be searched for firearms, but whether this course will be followed has not been decided Postponement Unlikely. Judge L. S. Roan will preside at the trial. He announced In a telegram from Covington, where he is spending a short vacation, that the case will he called Monday morning, without fail. There is little probability that an attempt will be made to obtain a postponement, although It has been hinted that there are one or two causes which might tend to bring about delay One is excosive heat, another the fact that certain attor neys in the case are engaged simul taneously In other litigation hardly less important. Rut the court officials and all who are Interested vitally are ready to scout the idea of a postpone ment. The ground thus is laid for what is confidently expected to be the great est battle’ of Atlanta’s legal history. A mysterious death, a chain of dam aging circumstances pointing to the guilt of the accused, a coterie of law yers for the defense who are given to surprises and who are known for in exhaustible resources, a Solicitor who is determined and a fighter—every thing points to a great struggle. Considerable difficulty will he en tailed at the first, it is expected, when the jury must he drawn. From indi cations, it is likely that the prelimi nary jockeying will consume the first day of th»- trial, or even more.

Then, too. the lawyer., know ing the men from whom the Jury muat be picked, will select the men with the utmost care. The defense. It has been announced, will ask that a Jury he selected from the Grand Jury venire. Whether this request will be granted Is altogether in the discretion of the trial Judge. It is expected, however, that it will he refused unless significant reasons are brought to hear by the defense. Trial Will Last Days. Then the case will start. Evidence probably will not he taken until the morning or afternoon of the second day. Jt will be taken slowly, In great detail, at such length as to Insure a trial of many days’ duration, if the length of time consumed In examining the witnesses at the Coroner's inquest is any indication. ♦Surprises will come, surely. It is likely that most of the surprises will he those of the defense, the public generally crediting that side with more evidence hitherto hidden than the prosecution. The State’s case has been perpet ually before the public. The agencies of the State have been crossed at times, and out*of the antagonism has grown Rubllcity that was not good foi the privacy of the prosecution's line of attack. The defense, on the other hand, has kept quiet. When the Min- cey affidavit was published last week, favoring the defense, it came as a surprise to the public, and led every one to expect further surprises. The Frank trial absorbs the public interest for more than one reason. The revolting nature of the crime by which Mary Phagan went to her death, the mystery surrounding its circumstancos, tin 1 uncertainty that came with new revelations day after day. pointing first to one and then zo another suspect, the final centering of all suspicion on the two prisoners— Frank and Conley—the charges and countercharges that have been ban died back and forth all make the case one to attract and to hold the interest of every man or woman wrho can hear or read.

Coleman, at No. 146 Lindsay street. This 1r In that sub urban section of Atlanta known as Bellwood. She was a gay, friendly, lovable girl, well liked by the children of the neighborhood and by the grown folks as well, according to every rev elation of her personality that has come since her death. The little girl had worked for some time, straitened circumstances of the family driving her to that necessity. She had been emplpyfd at the pencil factory on South Forsyth street only a short time. Saturday afternoon, April 26, sha went to the factory to draw her week ly pay. it was the day of the Con federate Memorial parade. Forsyth street was deserted. The factory was quiet. The little girl went alone to the big building at about 12:10 or 12:15 o’clock, according to the state ment of the street car men who took from her home to the down town sec tion. Watchman Finds Body. Early Sunday morning, at about 3 o’clock. Newt Lee, the negro watch man at the factory building, found the girl's body in a dark corner of the basement, bloody from a dozen cuts and bruises. The clothes were torn, and every evidence pointed to the fact that there had been a struggle in which the little girl fought vainly against her assailant. Her neck was discolored, where a rope had been used to lower her body down an ele vator shaft from the first floor. Later, on the third floor, In the bathroom of the factory, blood, straiuls of hair and other evidences of a struggle W'ere found, pointing to the fact that the child had there been at tacked first. Few men were in the factory build ing between the last time Mary Pha- gan was seen olive and the hour her body was found by the night watch man. The men were Leo Frank, the factory superintendent; Jim Conley, a negro sweeper; Newt Lee, the negro night watchman; John Gantt, a for mer employee of the company who en tered with Frank’s permission, that ho might get a pair of shoes he had left behind, and two workers, Harry Denham and Arthur White, who were* on the fourth floor and who remain ed in the building until 3 o’clock. At that time Frank, who had left the building at 1 o’clock, came In and let them out. Frank was alone in the factory until 4 o’clock, by his own ad mission. When Conley came in, or when he left, no one knews. Newt Lee Suspected. After the first discovery of the body suspicion fell on Newt Lee, who had reported the discovery of the body. He was arrested. The negro, frightened to within an inch of his life, protested his innocence. The police were not satisfied that he was the murderer, and began the search. Information came thick and fast and of every variety. The first tangi ble statement was from Ed Sentell, a grocery man. who said he had seen Mary Phagan walking by the side of a tall young man as late as.12:30 o’clock Saturday night. Later he Identified the young man as Arthur Mullinax, a street car worker. Mullinax was ar rested. Develpoments came fresh with every hour that day. Gantt, the young man w ho was in the factory' late Sat urday afternoon, was arrested on sus picion, which deepened when it was announced that he had been in love with Mary Phagan. Monday morning following the dis covery of the body an inquest was held, and as a result of revelations that he had been alone in the factory building much of Saturday afternoon. Superintendent Frank was arrested on suspicion. Detectives asserted their conviction that the guilt lay between l^ee and Frank. Gantt and Mullinax, proving alibis, were released. The third day of the mystery a vomig man named Paul Bowen was arrested in Houston. Tex . on the charge that h« had killed Mary Pha- I gan. It is said that he had acted in a suspicious manner upon being con fronted with news of the girl's death. He was arrested by the Houston po Miss Hinckley Writes Experience F Miss Gladys Hinckley, called “the most beautiful girl in America,” who has written her experiences in Washington society Agriculture May Be Revolution ized in 25 Years, Declares Ex pert, Who Has New Theory.

SALEM, OREG., July 26.—The faith of ^ little girl in the power of the Governor to make everybody stop selling her papa "drinks’’ so her mam ma will have money with which to buy clothes, Is graphically portrayed in a letter received bv Governor West from a little girl living in a small Oregon coast town. The letter says; •‘Mr. West. Dear Governor: "I am a little girl. 12 years old. My papa Is a hard working man and he Is not very well, but what I am trying to tell you is that oftentimes he gives the hotels for drink what we need at home, oh, so bad, and they sell it to him on Sunaay, too, and it makes us all so unhappy.

Professor Frost asserts that meas ures and estimates by the late Profes sor S. P.

Absorption to Increase. Other facts set forth are that, be ginning in the summer of 1912, there has been a decided increase in ab sorption and that when the sun spois are numerous the radiation received from the sun is relatively high. In about four years the spots will be numerous. The belief Is also expressed that eventually it may be possible to de termine general weather conditions six months or longer in advance by careful observations of solar condi tions,‘and tnat the advance forecast* will revolutionize the agriculture of the world. Professor Frost, however, thinks it may be 25 years or longer before long-distance forecasts on the lines mentioned will he possible.

"It is a highly interesting article to the layman and scientist alike,’’ said Professor Henry J. Cox. in charge cf he Chicago Weather Bureau.

Professor Kimball has been making observe - tions along these lines at Mount Weather." CHICAGO. July 26.—Dr. C. Frank lin Leavitt has made public a lesson In winning a husband by suggestion. “A woman has two weapons— thought and action. When she is pos sessed of a 'going mind' she is almost irresistible. A woman with power wins the man she wants. "The first lesson to all unattractive women should be to picture them selves In a receptive attitude, toward men. From childhood they should be taught to meet the opposite sex with out fear and bashfulness. Fear gives a shock. "Thoughts properly directed can change the physical being. From concentration on a subject fifteen minutes a day women have become beautiful. They should suggest to themselves at Intervals that they are beautiful.

Conscience Hurts Few U.S, Employees Amount Returned by Those Whom Error or Fraud Benefits Is Decidedly Small. WASHINGTON, July 26.—Society is waiting. It can’t be said eagerly, for the publication of Miss Gladys Hinckley’s book, "My Experience in Society.’’ In fact, it is whispered that there are not a few of the Cap ital’s four hundred who would breathe with more ease if they were assured that the girl called by the Russian Ambassador "the most beautiful girl in America” had decided to forego her literary career. So far Miss Hinckley has been able to keep secret Just what her book will reveal, though all society has known she has been working on it for months. The young author, she Is just 20, has had a decidedly interesting ca reer since her debut a couple of years ago. Her beauty made her admired, but her caustic wit has made her feared. She Is a deep student and is known to be fearless in expressing her views. Realizing this, the society set is ex pecting a pretty frank statement of Miss Hinckley's experiences, and there Is no great joy In the expecta tion. Miss Hinckley does not have to write for a livelihood., She has a for tune in her own name, while society momentarily expects the announce ment of her engagement to young Jerome Bonaparte. on which were written almost unde-! the Sunday on which the girl's body Deacon Newlywed Hazed After Wedding Members of Congregation Take Bridegroom to Lonesome Field and Lash Him to Tree. KANSAS CITY, July 26.—Walter Stratton. 35 years old, a deacon In the Roanoke Boulevard Christian Church here, who was married re cently to Miss Alta Barber, of Hum boldt, Kans., was "kidnaped” from his bride by men members of the congre gation at the clo'e’of church services the other night and severely hazed. Members of the hazing party said they sought "to punish” Deacon Stratton for going outside the church circle for a bride. The hazers met Mr. and Mrs. Strat ton at the church door. While two of them guarded Mrs. Stratton, the others took Stratton to a pasture a mile away and tied him to a tree. but later was released When he ♦•stabllshed an alibi. Out of his ar rest grew a scandal in the Houston police circles. That Lee killed the girl was assured by the dete< lives for several days. Bv the side of the girl’s body had been found several dirty scraps of paper, cipherable words. They were sup posedly from the unfortunate girl. One Ate was as follows: "He said he wood love me laid down like the night witch did It, but that long, tall, black negro did It b* his- self." The other was: "Mama, that negro hired down here did thi9 i went to get water and he pushed me down this hole a long tall negro black that has it woke long lean tall negro I write while olay with me." Experts declared positively that these notes were In Lee’s handwrit ing. The inquest, stretching through several days, was productive of one result, at least. The bulk of the sus picion veered to Frank. The negro Lee made a number of candid state ments which afterward were found io he true, and thus much of the suspi cion againHt him lightened. Elevator Boy Arrested. Testimony tending to show that Geron Bailey, a negro elevator boy In the factory’s employ, had been seen lurking around the building the fatal Saturday evening, brought about his arrest. Lee and Bailey still are held in the Tower, although suspicion against them is negligible. Until several days after the body of the unfortunate girl was found no one had thought of Conley as a man to be suspected. But whll? the Inquest over Mary Phagan’e body was in progress E» F. Holloway, an employee of the factory, found the negro sweeper In a secluded spot on the fourth floor washing a bloody shirt. He told detectives, and Conley was arrested on suspicion. Days passed, days that were lull of theories and speculation, but produc tive of no real result. Eyes were turned to Frank as the guilty person, with an inconsiderable number of peo ple suspecting Newt Lee. On May 25 came a statement from a woman named Mrs Mima Formby. the keeper of a rooming house. Mrs. Formby declared that the night of the murder Frank had telephoned her with" the request that she rent him a room for himself and h girl.. She de clared in her statement that she re fused him; that he insisted, later be coming desperate and announcing that it way a matter almost of life and death with him. The statement was pretty generally discredited by the public. Conley Admits Writing Notes. After three weeks Frank was in dicted by the Grand Jury. Then came a startling and unex pected thing Jim Conley, silent un der a siege of questions, suddenly is sued an affidavit, in which he de clared that he had written the notes at Frank a dictation, on Friday before was found. Not until then was Conley suspected with any degree of* strength. But when the affidavit came, with its in conceivable charge that Frank had plotted the death of the girl more than a day before he killed her, Con ley was suspected of having had a hand in the murder. It was recalled that Mary Phagan's visit to the fac tory had not been anticipated Friday, and that there would have been no reason for a murder plot. Conley, it seemed, had destroyed himself. The next day he issued a revised affidavit, declaring that he wrote the notes on the morning of Saturday, the day before the body was found. Then came his third affidavit, that he had dragged the body of the girl to the cellar, where It was found, at the in stance of Frank. 300,000 to Mend Missouri Roads Governor and All Other State Offi cials to Wield Shovels for .

July 26—Fewer penitents tortured by the “still small voice” confessed and surrendered "conscience money" to the Federal Government during the fiscal year 1913 than for many years. The “con science fund” received during the twelve months ended June 30 totaled only $2,814.44, the lowest amount since 1901 and comparable with hundred year average of $4,200. That fund is the only official index to the scruples, but no Treasury of ficial attempts to explain the decrease in restitution of money received from the Government by fraud or error. During the last hundred years the Government has. received conscience contributions aggregating nearly a half million dollars, the exact figures up to June 30 last being $434,615.69. Baltimorean Exiled By Servant Problem Society Leader Prefers His American Home, but Goes Abroad to Get Service. S. The three affidavits semod to con tradict one another, and to make charges that were unbelievable. It was not until then that suspicion against the negro solidified. Public speculation and doubt deep ened. Then, after two weeks, it de veloped that W. H. Mincey, a school teacher, in conversation with a negro on the afternoon of April 26, when the murder occurred, had hen told by the negro: "Go away. I’ve killed a girl this evening. I don't want to kill anybody else.” Mincey Identifies Conley. He Identified this negro as Con ley. Against every statement and every’ affidavit that has been published, charges of untruthfulness and mis apprehension have been made by one side or the other. Mincey’s statement has been attacked, Conley’s affidavits are declared false, Mrs. Formby’s declaration is said to be without foundation. Refutations 'come for every bit of evidence, revealing plain ly that the trial Itself will he a fight of veracity and of reasonableness of testimony. And so the case stands to-day Brilliant detective talent has been en gaged. Pink,ertons were first retained to reinforce the local detectives, and later the Burns men were called in. But out of that incident grew another scandal, another of the unpleasant in cidental features that have made the Phagan case the most notable of Georgia’s crime annals, even beyond the fact that it is the greatest mys tery. Last week it was announced that the Pinkertons believed Frank inno cent. after weeks of announcing that he was guilty. Later the declaration came that they had not made the statement. This incident was value less in unfolding the mystery, but is indicative of the turmoil in which the case has been from the first. JEFFERSON CITY. MO.. July 26.— Governor Major has announced that he will issue a proclamation soon setting apart two days in August when every able-bodied resident in the rural dis tricts and towns of the State will be asked to render personal assistance in improving the highways. The Governor estimates that at least ^ 300,000 men will respond Many will furnish teams and machinery. "The work of 300.000 earnest men for two days will be equivalent to 600,000 dayjj» of work, to say nothing of the teams that will be supplied,” the Gov ernor said. "Many boys, too, will turn out and aid the good cause." Governor Major himself proposes to wield a pick and shovel for the two days on some highway near Jefferson City, and he will expect every State official to do the same. BALTIMORE, July 26.—Samuel Keyser, whom Baltimore society gav such a warm welcome last .winter when he returned to his native city after -n absence of 15 years, hafi sold his big house at No. 609 Washington Place and will again go abroad to live, driven hence by the complexities of the serv ant problem.

Nature produced there a section so much like Japan that Its visiting natives feel at once at home. This marvelously fertile country has been given up for cen turies to the rapacity of Spanish con querors and native despots. Japan awoke half a century ago, and since then has astounded the world by its superb advancement. In that half-century the principal con tribution of Central America to the w’orld were "revolutions" which gave picturesque material for comic operas and plots for grotesque fiction. Mexico for centuries has been the victim of military adventurers and political plunderers, and looks back with longing to the Interim during which Porfirio Diaz ruled as the most absolute despot in modern history. The United States would not make a move to remedy these conditions and interpose the Monroe Doctrine in the way of any other power, with the result that the world still con tains a vast and practically undevel oped tract of land perfectly suited to the expansion needs of Japan. Hall Japan as a David. The stand taken by Japan against the United States and its demand for a recognition of its equality has met with the enthusiastic approval of the jingo- political factions in all of our Monroe Doctrine Republics.” All anti-American factions in Mexico and Central America acclaim Japan the David who will humiliate the dollar- hunting Goliah. In recent years the Japanese have sedulously conducted a campaign cal culated to win the favor of the ruling officials of the Monroe Doctrine zone, and have lost no opportunity to fan the anti-American sentiment. This hatred of the United States does not flow from any act. It arises and is fed by the very fact that we still proclaim the sovereignty of a Monroe Doctrine, which implies that the republics affected by it are in ferior and are therefore entitled to our protection against the world and against themselves. Their contempt arises from the fact that -we have not enforced the detest ed doctrine. What does Japan now say to the anti-American factions of our Mon roe Doctrine republics? She says: We also are classed as inferiors by the United States, whose Declaration of Independence asserts that all men are created equal. Let us co-operate to resent these insults.” Birthplace of Japan. But. a far closer tie than a lust for revenge binds the peoples of the American tropics to Japan. Millions of the natives of Mexico and Central America are Japanese in I save name! This is a startling statement, but it is absolutely true. Scores of so- called Indian tribes scattered all the way from Northern Mexico to Costa Rica speak languages derived directly from the Japanese, look like Japa nese and follow closely the primitive arts and customs of the Japanese. It is a moot question with archaeol ogists whether Japan was settled from Mexico or whether Mexico was settled from Japan. There are cogent reasons for the belief that the birth place of the Japanese race was in Mexico, or Central America, and that some great war or great migration resulted in a pilgrimage northward to Alaska and thence to Japan. The reader should understand that strictly speaking there is no such thing as a Mexican nationality. This appUes to all of the Monroe Doctrine republics. The upper and ruling class is of Spanish descent or strain from inter-marriage with the innumerable ‘branches of the native stock. This native stock is called "Indian,” but millions of them are not Indians. There are hundreds of these so- called Indian tribes. They speak as many different languages. They con stitute the enormous majority of the population, but they play almost no part In the Government. Different Class of Indians. The Spanish who came with and who followed Cortez naturally inter married with the more aggressive and best-favored of the native races. The Indians who inhabited the present territoty of the United fltatee boTe absolutely no relation to those In Mexico and Central America, who reared wonderful cities whose ruins still attest their advancement and their Japanese origin. There are at least ten known tribes In Mexico where an Asiatic Japanese can make himself readily understood. There Is one so-called Indian tribe in Mexico in which a vocabulary of 3,006 words contains not less than 1,600 which are pure Japanese. The observing stranger who walk* for the first time the streets of Mex ico City. Orizaba, Guatemala City or who penetrates into the Interior of these countries can not fall to not$ that a large ehare of the natives bear on their faces the plain proof of their kinship to the subjects of the Mikado. The physiognomy of many of the up per classes reveals a fine blending of the distinctive facial lines of the Spaniard and the Japanese. Mikado’s Subjects Welcome* There is an intuitive recognition by the people of their kinship to ths Japanese. The doors of most of these republics are open to subjects of the Mikado. The school children are taught to respect the military prow ess of a race deemed inferior by a world who did not awake to the truth until the little Jap conquered Russia, The school children of Mexico are also taught that their country defeated the United States in its attempt to annex their soil. A f3w years ago I witnessed a mili tary parade in Mexico City in honor of her independence. A company of marines from a Japanese cruiser wag in line. Flowers were strewn in their path. A half million people greeted them as if they were their saviors. An along the line arose the affectionate salutation of "Brothers.” I did not understand It; I doubt if they under stood it, but back of it all was a racial Intuition. It is a matter of history that Mexico stood ready to deed to Japan a naval base in Magdalena Bay. Had not the United States intervened Japan might now' possess all of the Mexican terri tory of Lower California. Japan Moves Steadily. I do not say that Japan contem plates at present the actual occupa tion or military conquest of any of these countries. This is not within her probable power, but Japan is moving steadily for the settlement and devel opment cf these neglected and revo lution-desolated republics. The Japanese will naturally take possession of fields of enterprise once possessed by detested Americans. Thus the doors are opened for the re incarnation in tropical America of the old Japan which has slumbered through the ages. Its vigorous Asiatic offspring can pour 20.000,600 of its people Into it end create the richest and most beautiful empire the world has ever known. We could do the same thing, but we seem to have "more Important mat ters to attend to.” EXCURSIONS Two great tours East and West; special trains, exclusive ships; all ex pense paid: best hotels.
