questioned Sunday by the detectives
That he witnessed the new night
watchman in the pencil factory make
a complete punch of the time clock
covering: a period of twelve hours in
five minutes.
Under Rosser’s cross-examination
Starnes admitted that it was practi
cally Impossible for him to remember
the exact words he used in certain
parts of his testimony at the Cor
oner’s inquest. This admission was
obtained by Rower to show' that
Starnes’ memory in respect to the tel
ephone conversation with Frank could
not be regarded as any more reliable.
Rosser brought out that Starnes failed
to mention at the Coroner’s inquest
either the matter of the telephone
conversation or of the alleged conver
sation lie held with Frank the morn
ing of the murder.
Starnes also admitted that the
Anger print chips which were shown
him by Solicito * Dorsey might not be
the same chips he had taken from the
rear door of the basement, as the
chips had been out of his possession
part of the time during the investiga
tion.
Frank looked closely at the finger
print chips when they were shown by
Dorsey, but appeared not at all af
fected by them. The defendant ex
amined the cord found about the
girl’s throat. His interest in both the
cord and the bloody chips appeared
only speculative.
The day’s other witnesses were Ser
geant JL. S. Dobbs and Newt Lee.
STUDIED III ERST
New York Mayors' Conference
Writes Chief Beavers for
Full Particulars.
Atlanta’s successful war on vice, in
cluding the abolition of the restricted
district, has been heralded all over the
country, according to information
furnished by William P. rates, of New
York City, who has written Chief
Beavers for a more detailed accoun’
of “how it was done.”
Mr. Cates, w ho is secretary of the
Conference of Mayors of. New York
Cities, states that this organization,
after carefully studying the Atlanta
method, has declared against segrega
tion. He intimates that the New York
cities probably will follow the lead of
Atlanta in waging war on vice all
along the line.
According to Mr. Cates, Atlanta’s
effort# are being studied not only in
New York and other Eastern cities,
but in the far West as well.

Pair Caught on Roof of Church
Assert They Were Looking
for Hammer.
W. E. Nace. 32 McDaniel street, and
R. R. Greenlee, 400 Spring street, ar
rested Tuesday night on complaint of
a young woman living at 49 Washing
ton street, who told the police Nace
and Greenlee were peeping into her
room from the roof of the Central
Presbyterian Church, emphatically de
nied Wednesday morning that they are
"peeping Toms.” Nace Is employed
by the VV. R. Jones Slate Roof Com
pany, and Greenlee is a stenographer
for the Orr Stationery Company. They
will be tried In police court Wednes
day afternoon.
"Neither Greenlee nor. myself was
looking Into any wman’s room,” de
clared Nace Wednesday morning.
"We were up on the roof looking for
a hammer that I had left there 1
have been doing some work on the
roof of the Central Presbyterian
Church, and had left my tools and
working clothes there.
Took Part in Exercises.
“Last night my employer told me to
get my tools and go to Fairburn, Ga..
this morning. I went up to the church
early in the evening and found that
an athletic exhibition was being given
by Captain W. C. Massey’s Sunday
school class, of which Greenlee is a
member. I am interested in athletics,
and I watched the exhibition for a
while. Then they invnted me to take
part in it. which I did for an hour or
tWO,
“About 9 o’clock I began to gather
up my clothes and tools and missed
one of my hammers. I remembered
I had left it on the roof of the
church, and asked Greenlee to go up
with me to get it. It was very dark
up there, and we were searching all
over the roof when the officers ar
rested us. If there were any wom
en in the apartment houses we
didn’t see them.
Backs Up Friend’s Story.
Greenlee corroborated Nace’s
story in every detail. He says he is
a member of the Central Presbyte
rian church.
According to the story told the
police by the young woman who had
the men ‘arrested, she was lying on
the bed in her room in Apartment 8.
She happened to look out of her
window, and saw Nace and Greenlee
looking into her room. She slipped
out of the room, she says, and tel
ephoned to the police. Call Officers
Shumate and Cochrane answered the
call.
Expert Recommends Convertible
Bonds—His Prediction of
Improvement Realized.
By B. C. FORBES.
Financially, we are emerging from
the thickets that have seriously re
tarded prosperity. Every day brings
us nearer clear fields and bright
skies.
“Do you recommend the purchase
of securities?” I am asked.
Yes, many excellent bonds are to
day bargains, notably the convertible
issues of sound railroad and con
spicuously strong industrial compa
nies. Among the attractive invest
ments that rush to mind are the con
vertibles of Baltimore and Ohio, St.
Paul, Atchison, Norfolk and Western,
and American Telephone. They are
safe, they yield a fairly generous
income, and the convertible privilege
gives them an added speculative
value not to be ignored.
What about stocks?
Escaped Life-Term
Convict Recaptured
TOLl’MBUS, July 3ft.—Detective
Ben Moore has returned from Bir
mingham with Will Truett, a negrj,
who escaped from the penttentiary
six years ago while serving a life
sentence for killing Price Thomas,
another negro.
Truett was sentenced to hang, out
Governor Hoke Smith commuted the
sentence to life Imprisonment. Ho
served one year when he escaped.
Intense Heat Again
Cooks Middle West
CHICAGO, July 30.—Intense heat
made Chicago suffer to-day, caused
nearly a score of prostrations and
drove thousands to beaches. Two
deaths were recorded from yester
day’s bidden change from cool tem
perature to a record for the season,
when the mercury touched 99.
The country surrounding Chicago
was visited by the unexpected hot
wave In Burlington, Iowa, the offi
cial temperature was 110.
Well, a month ago, after having
urged caution for a year, I ventured
the opinion that the turning in the
long lane was near and that discrimi
nating outright purchases could be
made with every probability—cer
tainty, almost—of generous profits
in addition to the high dividend re
turns. Nothing has occurred to
change that view, except that prices
have already enjoyed so substantial
an advance that I believe a tem
porary reaction is in order. Then
the best stocks will again be very
attractive.

That the Hlxon-Searcey bill pro
posing to extend the Webb bill pro
visions to Georgia, was not killed
outright in the House Temperance
Committee, rather than sent over to
next session in charge of a sub
committee, is due to the work of Mr.
Ennis, of Baldwin.
When the question of this hill’s
probable unconstitutionality was
raised in the committee, it was
pointed out that the Webb law is
being tested in the United States
courts, and that by this time next
year i will be ruled upon finally. If
the law is upheld, it was contended,
Georgia might extend its laws to
meet the Federal statute. If ruled
unconstitutional, however, Georgia
would lose nothing by waiting.
It addition to this, it was shown
that to pass the law' now simply
would shut off approximately $300,-
000 already on hand, and more to ac
cumulate within the year, would pile
up a total deficit to the appalling ex
tent of over $l,000,0u0.
When these things were made
clear to the committee, a disposition
was evident upon the part of several
members to kill the bill outright,
with th© idea that it might be rein
troduced in the next Legislature, if
it then seemed advisable, tax reform
having been enacted in the mean
time and the present deficit wiped
out.
Mr. Ennis, vice chairman of the
committee, strenuously objected to
the bill’s slaughter in the commit
tee, however, and prevailed upon his
colleagues to refer the entire mat
ter to a sub-committee for a report
next session, rather than let the bill
go to its death in this Legislature.
The bill was given that direction,
and Mr. Ennis was made vice chair
man of the committee having the
measure in charge.
