What had the appearance of being the most sensational testimony of the day was that given by R P Barrett, a machinist on the second floor of the factory, when he declared that he had found a pay envelope under the ma chine used by Mary Phagan. The pay envelope, however, when it was shown to the Jury, was discovered to have on it no date, no amount, no name, with the exception of a loop of one letter, no number nor any other mark to identify it as the pay en velope that the Phagan girl received Saturday, April 26. Nor was any ex planation suggested as to how she may have happened to be at her ma chine when there was no work being done that day and the machines were not in operation. Barrett testified to the finding of the alleged blood spots on the second floor near the woman’s dressing room and the strands of hair on the lath ing machine. No more was developed out of the testimony then was al ready known to the public when Bar rett anounced his discovery a few days after the murder. Barrett also declared that a white subetance had been used with the apparent intention of removing the splotches of red Sweeper Telit of Splotches. Mel Stanford, a factory sweeper, coroborated Barrett in history of the finding of the spots and the white eubstanc^ that was spread over them. He said the .spots were not there when he swept the factory Friday and that the first he noticed them was when they were pointed out to him the Monday morning after the murder. Mrs. George \V. Jefferson. who works in the polishing room, gave testimony of the same sort. She al<*o testified that cords like the one found around the neck of Mary Phagan hung on a post in the polishing room She said that this was the only placi on the second floor where they wen. kept, but admitted that they might drop on the floor and be swept to any part of the factory. She said thut three shades of red paint were used In the pollehlng room, but that all of therm were distinguishable from blood and that the spots she saw near th* women's dressing rom were none of the paints she had described. Monteen Stover, the 14-year-old factory girl, gave exactly the teatl- *fltfdu Tnon V that had been expected. She aid she had entered the factory at .2:05 the day of the tragedy, and that f ■’Yank was not in his office. She > said that she looked about in his office T for him and on failing to And him left the building. She testified that she looked at the clock as she depart ed, and it was 12:10. Her story con tradicts the statement of Frank that he was in his office all the time after he came from Montag Brothers at about 11 o’clock until he went to the fourth floor to see Harry Denham and ’Arthur White at about 12:50. Dr. Claude A. Smith, city bacteriolo gist, testified that he found four or five blood corpuscles on one of the chips of wood that were brought to him. He could not tell whether or not it was human blood. These chips were the ones taken from the floor where the alleged spots were found. He said that in his opinion the blood stained shirt found at the home of Newt Lee, the negro night watch man, never had been worn and that the blood on it was put on the inside of the garment and seeped through on the outside. Mrs. Leo Frank, wife of defendant in Phagan case, and Julian Boehm, a friend of the family, snapped as they were leaving the courtroom. Mrs. Frank evidently is well pleased with the course the case is running. Stork and Cupid Cunning Plotters llttny a New Home Win Have a Little Sunbeam to Brighten It. Cm Sherlocks.

Thera are enough “hists,” aha’s” and those other exclamations that mark a true detective beside the badge on his left suspender, to fill a whole volume of Gaborleau thrillers at the Frank trial. A stranger whirled from the Ter minal Station to Judge Roan’s court room would be convinced before he had been In that temple of Justice five minutes that all Atlanta earns its living following clews and that if Sherlock Holmes was made a mate rial being he could beat Jim Wood ward for mayor by 8,000 votes. Ever since the body of Mary Pha gan was found, practically every man of voting age and a lot of those who Just think they are, have evolved a theory as to the crime they regard as incontrovertible as two plus two makes four, and have a system of ratiocination (beg pardon, Mr Poe), that either proves beyond the shadow of a doubt that Leo M. Frank is guil ty. or that he is innocent, or that Jim Conley did It. or he didn’t, or that somebody did, but they’ll be hanged if they know who. Theorists There for Vindication. The census of 1910 gave Atlanta a population of 154,839, and it is safe to say that 154,839 sure-Are theories have been evolved. And everyone of the theorists wants to go to the courtroom to see his the ory upheld and see the theory of the other fellow smashed to smithereens. Atlanta’s deductive and induct lye powers were never even dimly real ized until this week. Chat with the throng around the courthouse.

Your surprise iwll be suddenly con verted into admiration and then into awe.

He can take an envelope, locate it on a second floor and in a flash con ceive just ho wa deed of murder was committed.

TO-DAY’S MARKET OPENING NEW YORK COTTON Cotton quotations: Incompetent Employers Doomed to Certain Failure—Working man’s Rights Paramount. By B. C. FORBES. “It can’t be done” is the favorite argument of many employers when urged to treat their employes more liberally in the way of wages or hours or rest days or conditions of service. And they flatter themselves that their obiter dictum—their say- so—settles it, leaves no room for argument, closes the case finally and irrevocably. * • • Skinflint employers are going to learn a few things before the world is very much older. They are going to learn that few things “can't be done” when the public makes up its mind thal they ought to be done. Not many things that are right and just are impossible. • • • The eight-hour day, you remember, was socialistic, anarchistic and ab surd when first advocated. Nothing could be more imp««“sible, all but a few far-seeing, broad-guaejed, large- hearted, humane employe:* argued. Well, the eight-hour day was ushered in without any tremendous upheaval in ths-industries concerned. m 9 * “It can’t be done” was once the pet reply to please for the abolition of seven-day work in the steel in dustry. To-day not five per cent of the United States Steel Corporation's employes work seven days a w©ek. • • • Sunday labor in certain industries used to be considered absolutely un avoidable. To-day it has been radi cally reduced, almost eliminated in most directions. * * • The railroads at first vowed that rebating simply could not be stopped. To-day they are infinitely grateful that the law stepped in and annihi lated it. • • "-e Political parties could not be held together, it was urged, without bosses. To-day the bosses are being driven out to the advantage of all. • * • “Can’t” is an overworked word. It is too often the refuge of the unfit, the lazy and the coward. Sometime* it expresses a fact; more often it i« an unconvincing excuse. • • • What is here written ie for the edi fication and exhortation 6f certain corporations and other large employ ers who glibly declare that sorely- needed reforms for the benefit of their workers “can’t be done.” These em ployers are ready to admit that they would like to do certain things, that justice is on the Side of the reforms and that they hope at some distant date conditions—especially among their competitors—will so change that it will be possible to mix a little more humanity with their money-making. • • • They would like to let their work ers off one day every week, or every month. But “it can’t be done.” • • • They would like to pay all theif helpers a living wage. But “it can’t be done.” • * • They would like to better working condition#.. But, again, "it can't be done.” • * • Gentlemen, it CAN be done. And it WILL be done. • •' e Any man who can’t pay his work ers a living wage has no right to own a business. If he can not supply the brains necessary so to mAnage a con cern that it can pay decent wages, then stop him from being ah employer and let him become an employe. If capital can not be handled in one industry so as to afford reasonable wages, then let it seek other employ ment. Not only is it an economic sin to continue the use of capital in an unprofitable business. In one that does not pay for the things necessary for the sustenance of the workers en gaged in it, but it is a crime against humanity, a crime against society, a crime against the State, for if an em ploye receives less wages than is ab solutely needful to maintain'life, then others—the butcher, the baker, the dry goods merchant, the landlord, etc., etc.—have tp make up the dif ference, since men and women can not allow themselves to starve to death. The employer who persists in re plying “it can’t be done” to requests for reasonable treatment of workers writes himself down incompetent, un fit to enjoy the services of others. Capital and labor are net sufficient to insure business success; MAN AGEMENT is the third and indis pensable requisite. And any employer who can not supply if intelligently enough to enable him to deal fairly and decently with workers has no claim to be allowed to remain an em ployer. That Inexorable law which decrees the survival of the fittest marks such an one for destruction, as he ought to bo marked. * . « It may be necessary to be more specific it! a subsequent article.

Julian Hawthorne in Perhaps His Last Work in Prison Foresees Wonderful Reforms. Continued From Page 1. a system of hygiene and bodily ex ercise and diet somewhat resembling the old Spartan rules instituted by Lycurgus; and a general discipline of mind, manners and conduct as strict as that of West Point but more en lightened. What had been a stigma became a certificate of merit, and by and by, instead of being sent to Jail by sentence of court, men who had failed in life or felt themselves weak and incompetent voluntarily applied for admission. For what they pro duced they were paid good wages; their families were supported by the Government until the men’s earnings could care for them.” Denounces Present Method. In another article in the same num ber, on “Self-Respect,” Hawthorne brands the dress and branding of prisoners, under present-day prison rules, and the substitution of num bers for names as a crude anachron ism. as are also, he says, the titles of “convict.” “felon” and "Jailbird.” “Their effect,” he writes, “is to pro duce in the prisoner a feeling of rad ical and permanent separation from his fellow men. It is an attempt on the part of finite human beings to in flict eternal damnation on some of their fellow creatures.’’ Hawthorne declares that most pris oners mean to be good when their term is up. “Whether or not their Resolution holds firm.” he writes,” depends part ly upon their native strength of char acter, but in a larger part- upon the treatment they get in jail. Shooting and clubbing prisoners and subjecting them to torture ’pas proved unsuc cessful In leading them toward sweet ness and light. Need for the actual dub and gun may arise in an emer gency, but the more firm and uniform the discipline, founded, as all disci pline should be, on enlightened prin ciples of order and efficiency, the less likely is such emergency to occur.” Names of Victors in Georgian and American Pony Race To Be Announced Sunday.

Friday finds them exhausted with the late hours and the strain, for the excitement of the con testants proved contagious, infect ing the whole office. Thousands upon thousands of votes. 30 many that the aggregate seems in credible, were received Thursday and up to the very last minute.

The Kind You Have Always Bought, is the caution applied to the public announcement of Castoria that has been manufactured under the supervision of Chas. H. Fletcher for over 30 years—the genuine Castoria, We respectfully call the attention of fathers and mothers when purchasing Castoria to see that the wrapper bears his signature in r black. When the wrapper is removed the same signature appears on both sides of the bottle in red. Parents who have used Castoria for their little ones in the S ast years need no warning against counterfeits and imitations, but onr present uty is to call the attention of the younger generation to the great danger of intro ducing into their families spurious medicines. It is to be regretted that there are people who are now engaged in the nefarious business of putting up and selling ail sorts of substitutes, or what should more properly be termed conterfeits, for medicinal preparations not. only for adults, but worse yet, for children’s medicines. It therefore devolves on the mother to scrutinize closely what she gives her child. Adults can do that for themselves but the child has to rely on the mother’s watchfulness. &PZ 7»or mi lgf§ ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.
