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.

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.

Aug. 7.—With a solemn high mass celebrated in the cathedral by Bishop McCort, >he na tional convention of the Catholic To tal Abstinence Union of America was opened here. 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.
