(he Pacific-, but his arguments wore
unavailing and the decision went
against the defense. Thor 0 was a
murmur of applause and a stamping
of feet.
Arnold instantly was on his feet
with a motion for a mistrial, but he
realized at once that the jury was not
present and withdrew the motion. He
threatened, however, to make a mo
tion that the courtroom be cleared If
such a demonstration occurred again.
Dr, Harris Recalled.
Dr. Harris was recalled to complete
the testimony which he was giving
when he collapsed on the stand the
Friday before. He repeated his asser
tion as to the time Mary Fhag&n came
to her death after eating dinner at
her home in Bellwood Saturday short
Iy before noon.
: *‘I can say with almost absolute
certainty." he declared, “that this lit
tle girl was killed within 30 or 4C
minutes after she ate her meal that
day ’*
He refused, under cross-examina
tion, to change his testimony in the
least in respect to the cause of death.
“It was easily apparent that rfrafi-
fulation was the cause/' he declared.
‘•An examination of the lungs was
unnecessary and even u»eU*s« because
of the embalming preparation that
had been employed. Tt was plainly
evident that the rope had been placed
•about the girls neck before death
and the deep indentation showed that
It was sufficient to choke off her
breath and cause death within a brief
time.”
Blow Not Fatal, He Says.
Although Arnold was unable to
make the physician alter the state
ment of his opinion, he obtained ar.
admission that a blow on the head
MiifflHent to cause death might Im-
mediately precede garroting and still
the same manifestations of strangu
lation exist.
Dr. Harris, however, did not be
lieve 'hat the blow on Mary Pnagan's
head was enough to cause death. Ho
'aid that the blow was not severe and
that, aside from a little spot of blood
on the brain which could not have
caused any pressure, the brain was
entirely normal
Attorney Arnold in the latter part
of the afternoon session engaged ir
an exhaustive ,and highly technical
examination of the witness In regard
to the action of the digestive Juices,
the percentages, that were present in
Mary Phagan's .stomach and the tests
that were made for poisons.

Christian Scientists have begun a
campaign against those provisions of
the Medical Practice bill regulating
their methods for healing in OeorgU.
The Senate has passed the bill and
it Is expected to come before the
House soon. An amendment to the
bill framed by Christian Scientists
failed in the Senate by three votes.
The amendment is worded similar
to the one President Taft added to
the Medical Practice bill for the Ca
nal Zone at the request of Christian
Scientists there.
Edward H. Carman, of Atlanta,
president of the Christian Science
State Publication Committee, has sent
to Christian Scientists all over Geor
gia a letter which says in part:
•'Get influential members of your
church to go to three or four of their
good friends—influential men—get
them to write or wire their Repre
sentative in the lower House of the
legislature asking them to support
the following amendment which will
be offered to the Medical Practice
bill when it comes up:
This act shall not apply to any
person who ministers to or treats
the sick or suffering by mental or
spiritual means, whether gratui
tously or for compensation, and
without the use of any drug or
material remedy.
Mr. Carman Thursday refused to
comment on the subject, saying he
preferred not to even have, it known
that Christian Scientists felt any
anxiety over the passage of the bill.
It is understood, however, that if
the bill is passed without the amend
ment Christian Scientists will at once
declare it unconstitutional and will
cite as their authority the Constitu
tion of the United States.

Scholar Says Devil
Designed New Styles
CHICAGO, Aug. 7.1—Current fash
ions in women’s gowns are incentives
to immorality, according to Profes
sor Allan Hoben. of the University of
Chicago School of Divinity, at the
Sunday school institute in sessiol at
the university. The latest styles, he
said* wore the d“vil's designs.
"For any woman to be well-dressed
to-day.” he said, “is for her to be
measurably harmful. Women have
distracted attention from their faces
to their forms. This is distinctly un
fortunate.”

consideration of It begun by the
House, it would precipitate a “wet”
and “dry" fight pure and simple. De
bate would naturally wax fast and
furious, and the member* who opposo
tax reform measures figured that the
discussion of the bill .would occupy
the time of the House until adjourn
ment, or at least create such a spirit
of unrest and antagonism that ihe
ranks of the tax reformers would >e
broken.
Then, when Speaker Burwell ruled
the Kidd resolution out of order m
the grounds that it asked a physical
Impossibility of the Temperance Com
mittee, the strength of the combine
was directed against the presiding
officer of the House and his bills,
and the bills of others that he fa
vored, and the bills of the other
members who opposed the resolution.
Controls Half of House.
The combine at present controls
probably half the votes of the House,
and renders impossible the passage
of any measure that requires a two-
thirds vote, and makes exceedingly
difficult the passage of any measure
requiring even a bare majority. Wed
nesday afternoon the combine dis
played strength enough to defeat two
of Speaker Harwell's bills, both con
stitutional amendments requiring a
two-thirds majority to carry. They
were, administration bills, and the
word has been passed among the
member* of the House that Governor
Slaton favored them and desired that
they be enacted. Both were over
whelmingly defeated.
The first bill to feel the strength
of the combine was Burwell's meas
ure submitting to the qualified voters
of the State a proposition to amend
the constitution so that the school
levy of any one year should not ex
ceed 2 1-2 mills, in addition to the
regular school fund provided by the
.Constitution.
Two of His Measures Beaten.
Though the Speaker himself took
the floor and explained the purpose
of the bill—that it was merely one of
a series of bills designed to place
the State on a sound business basis
— the bill was defeated by a vote of
106 to 67, lacking by 17 votes
the necessary two-thirds majority.
The other administration bill, a com
panion bill to the one defeated first,
submitted a proposition that the an
nual levy for pensions should not
exceed 1 1-2 mills It was defeated,
the vote being 79 to 79. It lacked 44
votes of having a two-thirds ma
jority.
Unles* the combine can be broken,
the result will be that little or no
legislation of importance, will be en
acted during the balance of the ses
sion It means that the Legislature,
having already attained the name by-
doing less than any Legislature in
years, will go down in history as a
Legislature that did absolutely noth
ing of importance.
Bulgars Prepare
To Turn on Turks
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
BUCHAREST, Aug. 7.—A third
war is imminent in the Balkans, ac
cording to a report which was cur
rent here to-day during the final
stages of the peace conference. A
telegram from Sofia intimated
strongly that Bulgaria would inde
pendently declare war on Turkey
after her army is relieved of present
operations against her former allies.
When to-day’s session of the nego
tiations began notice was given that
the powers would draft a resolution
calling upon Turkey to give up
Adrianople. This step is designed to
prevent another war.

PHILADELPHIA. Aug. 7.—With a
solemn high mass celebrated in the
cathedral by Bishop McCort, >he na
tional convention of the Catholic To

The scene was an Impressive and
significant one as the total abstainers
knelt to ask a blessing upon their
work In spreading the gospel of total
abstinence from strong drink and
combating the curse of drunkenness.
Fleet ‘Takes’ Brest
France's ‘Gibraltar’
Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PARIS, Aug. 7.—The French Gov
ernment was thrown Into consterna
tion to-day by the unprecedented feat
of a submarine flotilla in penetrat
ing the supposed impregnable harbor
at Brest.
The fleet crawled through the water
under the very guns of the great
forts guarding the approach to the
harbor and despite the use of every
scientific device known to modern
warfare, got through undetected.
Every change in the chromatic
scale has ^been rung in the FYank
trial. With the single exception of
the skyrocket oratory that will mark
the last stage of the trial, everything
that has ever been done in the trial
of a criminal case has V*-en enacted
in the fight to fix on the superintend
ent of the National Pencil Factory the
guilt of the murder of Mary Phagan.
There has been comedy. There has
been tragedy. There has been periods
as dull as a hookworm victim. There
have been occasions as startling as
the feat of a circus daredevil. There
have been pathos and performances
worthy of a clown. The somber has
been mixed with the gay until the
entire trial seems the work of a fu
turist artist who has had a hard night
with the drinking cups before he
started the painting.
Jim Conley was on the. stand some
thing like sixteen hours. His story
was a ragtime composition, with the
weirdest syncopations, and then came
Dr. Harris right on his heels and
gave evidence full cf soundness and
learnedness. To the spectators it
seemed that they had just heard
“Alexander’s Ragtime Band” played
and then a Bach fugue for on encore.
One Simple, Other Complex.
Conley’s story was as simple in
words as “Old Black Joe," while Dr.
Harris' was as yomplex as a Wag
nerian overture.
Jim Conley spoke in terms of the
street, of the near-beer saloon, of the
blind allev craD name. Dr. Harris
spoke in the language of the labora
tory and the library.
Jim Conley could not enunciate a
word of more than one syllable. Dr.
Harris was as polysyllabic as. the
word “heterogeneous." And the spec
tators had to gasp after the shift.
Conley's story, while it was as full
of contradictions as a hive is.of bees,
was as easy to understand as a baby’s
“da-da" is to a fond parent. Dr. Har
ris evidence was as loaded with med
ical lore as a physician's library.
And. although it seems impossible,
there is more still to come. Before
By L. F. WOODRUFF.
the trial has ended practically every
type that Georgia knows will have
been paraded In the courtroom.
Types Seen in Court.
Right now, the spectators have seen
the scholarly defendant whose court
attitude is stilfan enigma—as unsolv-
able as the crime with which he is
charged. There are his loving mother
and his devoted wife.
Here is the massive figure of Lu
ther Rosser, attacking every oppo
nent with a battleax ferocity. Here
is the erudite Arnold, with rapier
thrusts to send in the death blow
when the enemy is beaten down by
the more direct assault of his ally.
Here is the young Solicitor, strug
gling against tremendous odds, up
setting * tradition by fighting Rosser
with his own weapons, burning Ar
nold witja his own fire.
Here is his learned associate, quick
to grasp a point as a drowning man
is a straw.
Here are factory girls and business
men. Here are the comical figure of
Newt Lee and the sinister figure of
Jim Conley. Here are the learned
scientist and the sleuth hound.
It seems that everything has been
shown, but still there will be more.
It Is impossible that Rosser and Ar
nold will not show something Just as
novel and bizarre as the State has
presented.
Color for a Dickens.
There Mincey to. come with his
startling story—Mincey, as typical of
the red clay soil of the Cracker coun
try as peanuts and watermelons;
Mincey, so typically the country
school teacher that he will have to
carry a rod of hickory and a blue-
back speller to the stand to feel at
home while he is giving his evidence.
And there will be a lot more.
Tragic as is the trial, it has been
Atlanta's greatest vaudeville show.
Dickens could have spent one week In
Judge Roan's 'courtroom and written
four novels around the types he saw
listening to and playing parts in the
drama that hovers around the life and
death of a little girl of the factory.
