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.

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. Stock quotations to 10 a. m.: 10 STOCK— High. Amal. Copper. 71 Am. Can . . . 33% Am. Car Foun. 45% Am. Smelt. . .63% Am.

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. SEASHORE EXCURSION AUGUST 7.
