MORE MAYOR OPENS WAR ON CHARTER PENNANT HOPES REST ON THOMPSON AND PRICE STORM SWEEPS CAROLINA COAST FRAMED BY Woodward to Amplify Attack on ‘Ring Rule’ at Larger Meeting. Defends Beavers. Thaw’s Attorneys Realize Defeat in Deportation Fight COATICOOK. QUEBEC, Sept. 5.— Immediate deportation from Canada, with no alternative, faced Harry K. Thaw when he was again arraigned to-day before the final session of the Immigration Board of Inquiry. Deserted by his leading lawyers, J. N. Greenshield and N. K. La- flamme, Thaw fought on in the face of evident defeat, hoping against hope that something would turn up at the last moment upon which to hinge another battle. W. L. ShurtlefT, attorney of record for Thaw r , was despondent and ad mitted defeat. Mayor James (3. Woodward's attack on the nfiw charter and the city officials who, are supporting it at the meeting of the South Side Im provement Association, in the Pryor Street School Thursday night, has resulted in a inovement to get up a bigger meetihg to hear a second speech and put more ginger in the election fight. The fact thit there were less than 100 persons /present caused Mayor Woodward to declare that the crowd was not big enough for him to go fully into Atlanta's political situation, but if they would get up a real meet ing he would give them some "red- hot” stuff. Leaders in the organisation have taken him at his word, and in an ticipation of a stirring campaign be tween now an£ the election on the new charter on Septer.tberr 14, are planning to give Mayor Woodward an .'opportunity to spread himself. / Charges "Ring” Runs Beards. J' Judging by his attacks Thursday night, which were so hot that Dr. J. G. Bradfleld, chairman of the meet ing, left during the talk and later resigned his chairmanship, the next speech is expected to he a "hum dinger.” He amplified some of his statements in an interview Friday morning, and here are the ideas he wants impressed: “That a 'ring' is in control of a majority of every board In the city, and that Dr. J. H. Bradfleld is a member of that ‘ring.’ ‘That the object of the new char ter is to perpetuate this ‘ring’ of bossism. “It abolishes the Police Commis sion and creates a Board of Public Safety. Under the present charter the chairman of the Police Commission is prevented from succeeding himseif on the commission at the expiration of his term next March. Charter Framec by “Gang.” ' The object of the adoption of the new charter Is to get him elected on the new board and turn over the fire department to the same old crowd that has been running the police de partment. "The new charter was framed in a back room of private offices by a gang of men who would tell you, the people, to go to h—, if you’ll pardon the phrase, if it served their pur pose.” Turning to the more personal phases of the meeting Thursday night. Mayor Woodward said that ho had nothing but good will in his heart for ex-Mayor Courtland S. Winn, and that he was going to call him up and explain his attitude to day He recalled the exact words Which Dr. Bradfleld interpreted xS an attack on his brother-in-law, ex- Mayor Winn, and left the meeting. “I asked them why they had not gotten improvements on the South Side," said Mayor Woodward. ”1 told them thev had had the Mayoi and a majority of the Council from their section. : Denies Mentioning Wmr.. "Later I said if the city govern ment had coiitinued to be run as it was the last six months of last year, the city's income would not be suffi cient to pay the installments on il legal moral obligations, to say noth ing of the fixed expenses of running the city. "I never mentioned Mayor Winn s name. “If Dr. Bradfleld is so averse to as sociating with me, he might resign ffom the Board of Health. He and a good bunch of his crowd could gst out, and the city would not suffer." Friday Mayor Woodward spoke lucidly of the part Police Chief Beav ers will play in the campaign. On this political issue he has been silent for many months. "Beavers won’t be an issue,” h# said. ' You can’t fire a man for en forcing the law. Former officials have not considered it proper to enforce some laws Beavers has enforced. Bui - because Beavers enforced them is no grounds to Are him. and I have told Him so,” Bible School Annex Dedication Sunday The new Bible school annex, of the English Lutheran Church will be for mally dedicated Sunday at a conse cration service for the school and congregation.

Heirs Promise Startling Evidence Which, They Claim, Will Establish Widow's Guilt. Disclosures by which, he asserts, % he will prove Mrs. Mary Belle Craw ford guilty of the murder of her hus band, Joshua B. Crawford, in Atlanta four years ago were promised Fri day morning by Colonel J. S. James, attorney for C. Z. Crawford and other heirs-at-law to the Crawford estate. Colonel James stated that he will have the new evidence, which he de clares is even more startling than any that has heretofore been ir/foduc?d in the famous battle for the $200,000 estate, prepared and ready for pres entation when the hearing of the case is resumed before Auditor J. L. An derson. Ti e introduction of the new testimony will be the result of the work of Colonel James and his assist ants sincethe hearing was interrupt ed by the rial of Leo Frank more than a month ago. While refusing to make public th* nature of the evideVice which he as serts he has obtained. Colonel James declared It removed every shadow of doubt as to the guilt of the accused woman. The only inkling of his plans is contained in the statement that the testimony of Dr. H. F. Har ris of the State Board of Health, in refutation of the statements of Dr. J. W. Hurt, will be corroborated. Dr. Hurt has testified that he did not give Mr. Crawford any opium dur ing the time he attended him, though the drug was later found in his stomach by chemists. He swmre also thflt Mr. Crawford died of pneu monia. Doctors' Testimony at Variance. Dr. Harris, refuting the testimonv* of Dr. Hurt, swore that he had ex amined Mr. Crawford's lungs afto? the body had been exhumed in Car* roll County and that he found od trace of pneumonia. He gave it as his professional opinion that death was not caused by any disease of the lungs. In corroboration of Dr. Harris, Colonel James declared, half a dozen medical experts will be placed on the witness stand. Indications are that expert testimony will play a larg‘d part In the futirre hearings of the will case and in the trial of Mrs. Craw ford, should she be indicted by the Grand Jury. Colonel James would divulge the name of but one of the experts who will testify along the same lines as Dr. Harris. He is Dr. Griffin, a phy sician of Carroll County, who was present when Dr. Harris examinsd the lungs of Mr. Crawford and who aided in the examination. Colonel James says Dr. Griffin will testify that Crawford did not have pneumo nia or any other disease of the lungs, and that he found traces of opium during the analysis of the stomach. Pledges Startling Evidence. “In addition to the expert testi mony refuting Dr. Hurt and sustain ing Dr. Harris,” Colonel James said, “we will have other witnesses who will make statements of equal, or even greater, importance. We will introduce testimony that will prove beyond the least shadow of a doubt that Mrs. Crawford murdered her husband. We have been working hard on the case since it was post poned, and have unearthed valuable evidence. “We hope to have kTed Dumb, the barber who was associated with Mr*. Crawford in the plot to poison her husband, located by the time the hearing is resumed. We have traced Lumlb all over the East, and thougn we have gotten no definite trace him since he left New York after re ceiving a warning telegram from At lanta, we are confident that we are on his trail and will soon have him in 'custody.” M 'Wr.v I -IS <?*• IBB ■ •• • f. \ A ■ ,NJ t If w* >***.. * ifV, FRESH REVOLT IN ng Unrest Over High Cost of Livi Produced by New Tariff Men aces Little Republic.

Attended Governor’s Conference and Visited Wyoming Ranch in Three-Week Trip.

Hhe Gov ernor, Mrs. Slaton and Colonel anJ Mrs. Paxon returned to - Atlanta Thursday night at 10:15 o’clock. The Governors’ Conference, tho Governor declared, was a huge suc cess and a royal welcome was ex tended to the evarious executives of the States. However, as royal as the reception was. the Governor added, it was not up to the standard set by the old-time Southerners.

KEELEB. And now for the final tug. Two games, the first one called at 1:30 o’clock, will be played by the At lanta and Mobile clubs this afternoon at Ponce DeLeon. On those two games—on either of them—depends the fate of the pen nant race of 1913. As the two clubs take the field for the first battle Atlanta will be one game back of Mobile. Winning tha; first game, the season’s count will be all square, and it will be up to the second game. Losing i the first encounter—al! chance fof the pennant virtually van ishes. One Wild Hope Would Rsmain. Only one wild hope would remain that the Crackers might win the sec ond game and beat Chattanooga, to morrow. while Charley Frank’s Peli cans trounced the Gulls in their two meetings to-morrow and Sunday. And that is. indeed, a wild hope. Also, it looks like rain. Mr. VonHerrnjann was as non committal as possible at 9 o’clock this morning, but he hoped it would be dry thL«r afternoon. That makes it unanimous, so far a*-, the hope goes—unless Mique Finn has a fancy to balk the issue and let the games go by default. But it must be said for the genial Mique that he never has showed him self to be that kind of a sport. He s a good kind. Miquo is. and we’re for him. in everything except this Itn pennant business. Record Crowd Certain. Needless to *&y, the games to-day will be for blood. Ths Crackers art fighting mad at the chance that slipped yesterday. The Gulls, encou’ aged by their lucky turn in the ninth, are full of pep and vim. There will be a whale of a crowd. Many of the business houses are clos ing for the afternoon, allowing bot” chiefs and employees to go to the game. A brass band is in prospect— and there will be a chance to con tribute to the “Cracker Fund,” which it now appears is to go to the pluck\ Atlanta ball players, win. lose or draw.
