THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. 5 U.S. EXPORTS TO C1H GRIN Remarkable Increase in Trade Is Cited as Proof of Need For Reciprocity. WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—The need of reciprocity with Canada was atrik- ingply shown in a report issued to day by the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. This report sets forth that despite the high tariff wall between the United Stated and the Dominion thar territory dtfring the fiscal year just ended was the world’s largest pur chaser in the market of the United States. The total value of United States ex ports for 1913 was $415,000,000 against $216,000,000 in 1910. "Manufactures.” says the report, “form about two-thirds of the Ameri can merchandise exported to Canada, and were the chief factor in the re markable gain by which trade has practically doubled in three years.” Under the broad reciprocal agree ment urged by Mr. W. R. Hearst three years ago, tariffs on the mutual ex change of the commodities of the United States and Canada would have been lessened to such an extent that the Dominion imports would have far exceeded the 1913 fiscal year figure. A Clinching Argument. Steps were taken to-night to bring this report to the attention of Con gress as the most convincing argu ment yet advanced for the enactment into law of an agreemet between the United States and Canada./' It was pointed out tht^t' inasmuch as the Hearst reciprocity agreement adopted in an amended measure by the Taft administration, called only for decreased duties on commodities mutually exchanged, the manufac tured exports of the United States would have remained practically the same, while Canada’s purchases from the American farmer would have greatly increased. Through the drastic reductions in the present tariff bill, Canada will virtually get all the advantages pro posed in the reciprocal agreement, without making return to the United States. She will be able to purchase more cheaply than ever in the United States, while the American consumer will still have to pay Canadian duties on goods imported from the Dominion. The report in part follows: •Passenger and freight cars im- prted from the United States in creased in value from $500,000 to $5,333,000 in the past three years, ar.d the export of automobiles to the Dominion nearly tripled, increasing from $3,333,000 to $9,250,000. Gains by Millions. “Other gains were copper pigs, bar-, etc*., from less than $1,000,000 to more than $6,500,000; steel rails, from less than $1,000,000 to nearly $4,000,000; cotton cloths, from $750,000 to $2,500,000; locomotives. from $250,000 to' more than $1,000,000; lumber, from $5,000,000 to $13,333,000. structural iron and steel, from less than $3,000,000 to more than $9,000,- 000; metal working machinery, from $333,000 to $2,333,000: agricultural Implements, from $3,333,000 to practi cally $7,000,000. ‘The gain in raw materials and foodstuffs was less pronounced. "The actual gain in exports from the United States to Canada in the fiscal, year. 1013, was $86,000,000; that in exports to the United Kingdom, $33,000,000; Germany, $35,000,000; Netherlands. $22,0*0,000. Belgium, $15,000,000; Italy, $11,000,000: Europe, as a whole $138,000,000; to all South America, $14.^00,000; to all North America, except Canada, $15,000,000. "According to Canadian figures the United States supplied 63 per cent of the imports of Canada in 1912, against 58,4 per cent in 1902. "The growth in the import trade with Canada is less striking, the total being $95,000,000 in 1910, compared with only $121,000,000 in 1913.” Continued from Page 3. Morgan Is Refused Seat on Own Road BOSTON, Aug. 21.—J. P. Morgan with his valet and handbags the other day boarded an express train at New London for New York and demanded a seat in the parlor car. There was none left and the conductor was dreadfully sorry, for Mr. Morgan practically owned the road. He was led to an ordinary* coao'i and his valet stowed away on a seat. Further developments resulted in the conductor seizing the baggage mas ter's private camp chair and exca vating a place in the parlor car for Mr. Morgan, who rode to New York perched on the camp chair and wab bling rather wrathfully. 45 Factories Sign For Exhibit Space The directors of the Chamber of Commerce Realty Company and the permanent exhibit committee held a Joint meeting Wednesday afternoon, at which it was decided to go ahead with the Atlanta Manufacturers’Expo sition, although only three of the four floors allotted for It have been sold.

COLUMBUS.—Elbert Ellis, a twelve-year-old negro boy, is dead from injuries received when the negro chauffeur of David Rothschild, a wholesale dry goods merchant drove a heavy touring car over his body and head, crushing the skull, chauffeur was on a Joy ride. determine his guilt or his innocence. The -Jury system came as a result of a desire to popularise the courts; to let the people flow' through the courts. ‘‘God Grant We Get Away From the Street.” "Inexperienced, as they are, it was decided that Juries were capable of de ciding questions of fact. Of course the judge still decides all legal points. "My friend Hooper, in reading his authority just now, used a funny ex pression. He said your position is no* different from any man’s w’ho wants to learn the facts; from any man on the street.” Hooper objected. "Your honor.” he said, ”1 don’t want the speaker to mis represent my meaning.” Arnold: "You said street. God grant that we get away from the street when we come into court. What is the use of having any court if we don’t get away from the street? There it is the man who has the most friends who wins. Courts are to protect a man from the street. Gentlemen, sometimes the very a man a grave injustice. Time rights it all. of course, but at the present blush of a horror friends can’t judge fairly. "The crime in this case is an awfui crime. It was committed by a fiend— a brute. But no matter how terrible, no fair-minded man would refuse to give a man accused of it a fair trial. "But well-balanced men don’t say just because he is charged with the crime by Detective Starnes and So licitor Dorsey: ‘We will hang him. Thinking men weigh the facts. “Keniey Sample of Lying Blowhards.” "I remember a case when Charley Hill was Solicitor, he asked a pros pective juror the formal question, and when he came to that part where the Solicitor General said: ‘Juror, look on prisoner; prisoner, l6ok on juror,’ that old fellow got up and looked him over and said: ‘Judge, he’s guilty.’ That is the way with public senti ment in this case. There has been so much lying and rascality as I will show you that I won’t add to it. That fellow Kenley is a fair example. He is a man that any honest man ought to be ashamed to say he knows. His mouth is set like a catfish. He is the type of lying blowhards that constitutes the so- called public sentiment. He is the man who said they hanged two ne groes at Decatur because they had to have somebody, and he Is the man who said, ‘Hang this Jew for the murder of that poor little girl whether he is innocent or guilty.’ i had rather be in Leo Frank’s shoes to-day than Kenley’s. “Gentlemen of the jury, there are people who say that Frank is a re markable man: that he is a man of wonderful courage: that he has gone through this trial in a manner most remarkable for a man of his physical build and temperament. “Gentlemen, he has inherited it through 2,000 years of persecution. Behind him there is a long line of an cestors who for centuries have been abused, and I hope the day will come when a man will get justice, will be accorded fair treatment, be he Jew or Gentile, or white or black. "He has endured persecution, and his family has endured it. The Jews have been thrifty, and envy ha,s been the result. If Leo M. Frank had not been a Jew there would not have been The OBITUARY The funeral of Robert A.

A special meeting of the City Ex ecutive Committee has been called for Saturday, August 23, by its chairman, John Y. Smith, for the purpose of con sidering and ordering the city pri mary and other matters. any prosecution of him on this despic able charge. The miserable, lying ne gro. Jim Conley, was brought In to tell his miserable, lying story, to re cite, parrot-like, the story in which he had been so well drilled. "I am asking my own people and my own kind of people to do Frank justice. I am not a Jew’, but I would rather my throat would be cut than do one an injustice of this sort. "They have got their miserable per jurer. Conley, to come up here and swear Frank’s life away. They have had him swear against a man who never had a word said against him before. "Of course, after a crime, you al ways find persons who say that they knew the defendant's character was bad. But you don’t make a murderer in a single day. "I am going to compare the wit nesses that were used by the defense with those that were used by the pros ecution. They brought up the dregs of humanity to testify against this man. They brought up jailbirds and convicts to hang this man. They spouted hot and cold. They hurried the schedule of a street car. They slow’ed dow’n the time clock at the factory. They got the detectives to say that Frank was nervous. They got his mother-in-law to say that he was so soulless he didn’t open his mouth. “Built Up Case, Then Tore It Down. ’ ’ "They got little George Epps to tes tify that Mary Phagan got into town at 12:07. Then they began to tear their own testimony down. I am go ing to strip the case of some of the falsities and the warplngs of the evi dence, if .God Almighty gives me strength. I don’t know that He will, for I am nearly worn out. ‘There have been a great many things brought into this case which should not have been brought in. The defendant must be proved guilty of the murder of Mary Phagan. Every other reasonable hypothesis must be eliminated. "You must liberate Frank, other wise. The law says you must. If you think that it is as reasonable to be lieve that Jim Conley committed the crime, then you must turn Frank loose. "Our friends, the detectives and po lice, were hard put to find somebody on whom to place the crime. They thought at first it was this man Gantt. Sentell and others said they saw Mary Phagan on the street at midnight. Of course, they did not. But it will illustrate the uncertainty with which this crime has been hatched. "Then they were almost certain that New’t Lee w r as the man. They found the notes by the girl’s body, and New; Lee said in reference to ‘night-witch,’ a phrase occurring in one of the notes, that ‘night-witch means me, Boss.’ "I do not think that Newt Lee com mitted the murder, or had anything to do w’ith the killing of the girl, but I never w ill get it out of my mind that Newt Lee knew’ something about tne writing of those notes. ‘‘Man Who Wrote Note Killed Mary Phagan.” “This is one of the profoundest mysteries that ever confronted a com munity. It has baffled investigation at every turn. But one thing has stood out like a mountain on a plain, since the very beginning of this case. The man w’ho wrote those notes killed Mary Phagan. "Oh. you remember how’ they searched for him. The notes w’ere found beside the dead body. It was right hard to recite w’hat was in the dbscure mind that wrote those notes It looked like one negro trying to ac cuse another, but the one question stood out. Who w’rote the notes? Wh.i wrote the notes? "Things.developed. Newt Lee was put through the third degree and the fourth degree. Just the day or the day before the Court of Appeals hand ed down a decision w'hich is especially applicable to thl$» case. It denounces such methods. How it does hit Jim Conley and the authorities that made him swear. How it does hit Minola i McKnight!” He read a new spaper clipping of the decision. "Our friend Hooper said there was nothing to hold Jim Conley in that chair but the truth. My God! He hao his life at stake! Before you get through w’ith this case you will see that they have got to depend on Jim Conley. If they can not hobble on those too rotten crutches they can’t hobble at all. Before I get through wdth it I am going to s»how there never was such a frameup since the world began.” Court adjourned at this time. Recalls Famous Durant Case. When court convened for the aft ernoon session, Arnold resumed his argument. "Gentlemen of the jury,” he said, "my friend Hooper made some re marks about circumstantial^ evidence and how powerful it was. He forgot to mention the fact that the circum stances had to be substantiated by reputable witnesses and eliminate every other reasonable doubt. “I read a book'once that dealt with circumstantial evidence and it was positively sickening the number of mistakes that have b^en made. The famous Durant case t^hat has com* within our memory is a striking illus tration. Two girls were found mur dered in the tower of a church. Du rant was the last man seen with them. The public said. ‘You are guilty.' One man swore he saw’ him wearing a girl’s ring. Another man swore he had found Durant nervous and perspiring as though he had come from recent great exercise. The women egged him on his way to court. The Jury found him builty and a weak Judge the first I have ever heard of, sentenced him to hang »n three days. They appealed the case, but lost out, and they banged him. There was not a cemetary in ’Frisco that would bury that man. They took him out to a little country church yard and buried him. Time went on and people forgot about it. The preacher in that little church con tinued to address his congregation. After a number of years the preacher was confined to his death bed. He I Could Not Rest Day or Night. Sores ltch»d So Would Scratch Herself to Pieces. Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured in Two Weeks. Glean* F. O.. Va. — “ My baby • trouble began witk an itching and then a little bump would come and ahe eould not rest day or night. The trouble affected her whole body. The bump* festered and came to a head and the corruption looked like thick matter, kind of a yellow eolor. The sore* Itched *o badly until it i seemed to me she would scratch herself to pieces and then a sore would form and her clothee would stick to her body and pu'l off the little eeab. Tn some places she would scratch and irritate the sores until they seemed to be large. She was affected about a year. “ First I employed a medicine which did very little good; nest I used and that did harm. So I wrote for a sample of Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I bathed her body in warm water and Cuti- cura Soap and then I applied the Cuticura Ointment and they afforded relief after twice using. I bought some more Cu,tlcum Soap and Ointment and inside of two weeks she was cured.” fSigned) Mr*. J. R. Greggs. Nov. 21. 1912.

Cites Infamous Dreyfus Case. "I remember another case—the Hampton case in England. It is a historic case. A country gentleman by the name of Hampton disappeared. He had lived with an old woman and her two son«. It was supposed that he had been killed. One son made Incriminating admissions. They tried the old lady and her two sons and hanged them all. In a year Hampton appeared in life. "I recall another case, the most dreadful of all—the Dreyfus case. He was a lieutenant in the French army. Someone had been telling the plans of the French fortifications. Dreyfus was suspected. They got evidence against him; he was court-martialed and sent to Devils Island. The men who sent him away thought they were safe, but the people became calmer and began reconsidering their action. In time a most infamous conspiracy was revealed. One man confessed and before the end practically every man in the prosecution committed auW cide. Dreyfus was a. Jew. He wag friendless. He was an easy mark, and they got him. "I have never seen so much venom as there is in this trial. The murder ous beastiallty that robbed little Mary Phagan of her life is scarcely worse than the spirit that would de prive this man of justice. No wolf in the forest, no beast, in his ca&e is so savage as these people who would hang this man on the flimsiest sort ofevidence. Postmaster French, Of Memphis, Is Dead MEMPHIS, Aug. 21.—Major J.
