TTTE ATLANTA OEOROIAN AND NEWS. 13 FREED CONVICT BIRDS' FRIENDS E Sailor, Who Says He Is Innocent of Crime, Marvels at Sights Outside Prison. Bearing the pood wishes of hun dreds of Atlanta friends and the as surances of Mayor Woodward and Chief of Police Beavers that they will help him to the limit of their power Thomas M. C. Bram, the sailor who was released from the Federal prison after serving seventeen years for a crime he has steadfastly maintained he did not commit, Friday morning started his quest for a Job. “It seems »o strange to be free.” Bram said, “so strange that I can walk where I want to; that I do not have to govern my movements by the scund of a gong or the command of a guard, that I have hardly got my hearings. All day yesterday I walked the streets of Atlanta, seeing new wonders; things that seven^en years ago I would not have thought possi ble. “But I must have work, and I am trying to find it. My friends have been more than kind; they have given me life and hope, but I can not tres pass on their kindness to the extent of allowing them to provide my food. I am willing to do almost any kind of work, so long as it is honest. Surely there is someone in Atlanta w'ho will give a man a chance to work after he has served seventeen terrible years for a crime he did not commit.” Eagerly Hunting Position. Unused to the ways of the world, Bram has placed himself unreserved ly in the hands of his friends, and they are assisting him to find work. He has secured rooms at 46 West Pine street, but his headquarters are at the office of Freeman & Perkerson, at Five Points. Mr. Freeman was one of the friends who were instrumental in securing his parole, and he is very anxious that Bram secure a position. In order to secure a complete pardon it is necessary for Bram to come be fore the Pardon Board with a recom mendation from his employer, stating that he has worked faithfully. Mr. Freeman this morning asked that any person who had a position that Bram could fill, any man who is willing to give the man a chance to make good and prove his innocence of the terrible crime for which he served so long in prison, communicate with him, either in person or by tele phone. Mr. Freeman’s phone num bers are Bell Tvv 14 and Atlanta 795 Mr. Freeman and other friends of Bram took him on an automobile tour of the city Thursday afternoon. Pram was as delighted as a child with ♦ he wonders of the city. The stren uous life of the streets filled him with wonder, and the new invention? and marvels of science that he saw on every band were almost unbelievable. T.ater in the afternoon Bram called on Mayor Woodward and Chief of Police Beavers. Chief and Mayor His Friends. Both the Mayor and the Chief con gratulated him on his release, and each expressed the opinion that Bram is not guilty of the crime of which he was convicted and for which he was imprisoned for so many years. Mayor Woodward and .Chief Beavers offered to help Bram find work, or aid him in any way possible. Bram has already started his search for the man for whose crime he say? lie has been imprisoned for seventeen years, though he can not leave Geor gia until he gets a complete fardon He spent several hours last night writing letters to his Boston attor neys and other friends in Massachu setts, thanking them for the part they played in obtaining his release, and asking them to aid in the inves tigation by which he hopes to unearth the real murderer and clear his name of all stain. 28-Day Auto Trip Across Continent LOS ANGELES.

SE Audubon Society Believes It Will Pass Measure Protecting All Feathered Game, Police Guard Asked For City Dog Pound City Clerk Walter Taylor, generalis simo of the Atlanta dog hunters, has asked the police to place a guard at I his doggery on Manhattan avenue, and i strenuous efforts will be made to catch the varlet who opened the gates and rescued a dozen or more canines. Mr! Taylor went out to his doggery Thurs day to dispatch the captives and found the gates open and the captives gone. One of the city’s dog hunters resigned his Job Thursday, after an encounter with a dog on Butler street. The brute resented being caught In the net and bit the catcher In the leg. That there Is a good possibility of victory for the friends of bird pro tection throughout the world is the information conveyed in a telegram to James H. Rice, Jr., of South Caro lina, field agent for the National As sociation of Audubon Societies, who Is now in Atlanta looking into local con ditions. The telegram was received from National Secretary T. G. Pear son, w’ho is conducting the fight In Washington. According to Mr. Pearson, the tar- ; ff bill carried a rider prohibiting the importation of the feathers of all wild* birds, except ostrich feathers. The feathers of domestic poultry w r ere also permitted to come in. However, an amendment was added by the Sen ate Finance Committee providing that the feathers of all birds which are Idlled as pests and the feathers of game birds might be imported. This clause, it is said, in effect would re move protection from all the birds ol the world which live outside of this country. It is this amendment which has been referred ba* k to the Senate committee for further consideration, with the view of having it struck out In explaining the matter ar;d the work of the Audubon Society, Mr. Rice declared the society was at tempting by legislation to prohibit the use of feathers takenTrom any wild bird as an article of commerce. The slaughtering of birds for their feath ers, he said further, was not only ob jectionable because of the effect on the elimination of the pestiferous in sect, but because the birds were killed during the nesting period, thereby causing a gradual elimination of the species.

TITLE TO FULTON McKenzies Get Order Restraining Randall Heirs From Mining in Residence Subdivision. .A temporary injunction restraining the heirs of P. H. Rhndall from min ing in the residence subdivision in Northern Fuiton County, which is now being marketed by William M. Mc Kenzie and George M. McKenzie, was granted late Thursday by Judge George L. ^Bell. The injunction was obtained to es tablish that the McKenzies have a clear title to the land, doubt having arisen because of an old deed whicn kept for the Randall heirs a right to. one-half the mineral interests in the land. The petition of the McKenzies sets forth that there are no valuable min erals in the land, and that the only value in the property lies in its em ployment for residence purposes. The record of former deeds was destroyed, according to the petition, In the fire of 1842, but it is maintained that the title is clear nevertheless. The land in question, 85 acres in lot 216 of the Seventeenth District of Fulton County, was purchased about June 24, 1912, from Thomas L. Eng lish. The property was divided into small tracts and placed on the mar ket. Atlanta Markets Bishop Candler to Preach to Baptists Bishop W. A. Candler and Dr. W. W.

Late Count Hayashi’s Diary Says Great Britain Wanted Alliance Against France and Russia. Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian. LONDON, Aug. 29.—The revelation that the diplomatic negotiations whicn finally resulted in the Angld-Japane3e Alliance first contemplated an Anglo- German-Japanese Triple Alliance and that Germany was largely instrumen tal in starting them, but was shut out by Japan, is made in the diary of the late Count Tadasu Hayashi, ex-Jap- anese Ambassador to Great Britain and twice Foreign Minister, part of which was recently published. The Jiji Shimpo of Tokio printed portions of the diary, but the Japan ese Government prohibited further publication, and the Censor sup pressed telegrams sent by fdreign correspondents ip Japan giving de tails of the statements. The diary shows the British Gov ernment, under the Premiership of the late (Marquis of Salisbury was in favor of the inclusion of Germany in the alliance, but that Japan op posed it. Count Hayashi. in order to bring about the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, hinted that Japan was ready to ally herself with Russia if Great Britain were unwilling to become her ally. According to the diary, Baron Her mann con Eokhardstein, at the time Charge d’Affaires of the German Em bassy in London, made several visits to Count Hayashi in the spring of 1901. Count Hayashi approached Lord Lanadowne, then Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, suggesting an Anglo-Japanese agreement on a pol icy in China. Lord Lansdowne said he thought a third power should be included. Japan suggested that a third party should be omitted fron^ the alliance because A nglo-Japanese interests were identical. Great Britain, how ever, for some time clung to the idea of a triple alliance according to Count Hayashi. asr she was anxious for an alliance Germany in order to isolate the Franco-Russian alliance. The continuation of the diarv, which might have shown why Count Hayashi opposed the inclusion of Germany, has not been published.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.—Cables were not up to expectations at the opening of the cotton market and"* first prices were at a net decline of 3 to 13 points from last night’s close. There was considera ble selling from the south and in Liver pool. There was a fairly good demand on the decline, but prices continued on the downward patn. dropping 4 to 14 points from the opening range. Cables frotn Liverpool explained the weakness in that market was due to Continent selling and poor prospects for trade demand and spinners were not in clined to follow the advance. The Giles report of 69.9 per cent on the condition of the crop to August 25. or 11.9 points decline for the month, was distinctly unfavorable and accounted for some of the professional support here, which helped prices out or the early low pint during the forenoon. Following are 11 a. m. bids in New York: August, 12.18; October, 12.27; December, 12.19; .January, 12.08; March, 12‘. 18. The forecast for fair weather in the Southwest and the posting of the Texas detail, showing only insignificant pre cipitation, helped the rally, but the vol ume of trade was the smallest of the week and prices worked back to the low point during tire afternoon session. The market closed steady with prices at a net decline of 41 to 1.5 points from the closing quotations of Thursday.
