ATLANTA, GA.,, TUESDAY, MARCH 3 1914. By o Heorsian Co
MAYORQUIET
INLATEST
MOVE
Fain and Vernoy Also Running
and Race Promises To Be
Extremely Warm.
Following Mayor Wocdward's surik
ing victory in the Police Commission
ership fight in Council, there were in
sistent rumors Tuesday that Robert
Ty Pace, elected by the city's exccu
tive’s vote, will be put in the race
for the chairmanship of the board
The present leading candidates are
W. P, Fain and W. A. Vernoy. It is
generally conceded that Fain is al
moest a’'certainty. The Mayor, it has
zenerally been understood, will vote
for Robert C. Clarke, who, however,
bas very little chance and it is now
reported that Mr. Woodward will
support Pace_mw
piedged to Vernoy will ewing to him
on the second ballot.
Experts Still Bank on Fain.
None of those directly interested
would talk of the situation Tuesday,
but the meeting of the Police Board
next week is being eagerly awaited.
The political experts still insisted
that Fain's position was impregnable
and that he would be chosen on the
second ballot, but there was some un
easiness among his friends about
last-minute developments.
Mayor Woodward, whose vote broiia
the tie between Mr. Pace and Marcel
lus M. Anderson and elected the for
mer, refused Tuesday to exoress nis
opinion as to the effect the election of
Mr. Pace and Mr. Clarke would have
on the €uture policles of the Polize
‘Board.
He declared, however, that their se
lection to places on the board is evi
‘dence that the people of Atlanta are
getting tired of senseless and cease
less agitation, and that Council has
hegun to recognize this feeling on the
part of their constituents.
People Tired of Agitation.
“The peeople of Atlanta want n
clean, business government,” said
Mayor Woodward, “and they want
this agitation to cease, The election
of Mr. Pace certainly evinces a dis
position on the part of Counecil to give
the city a sane business government.
We don’t want to run wild over fa
naticism and let burglars and foot
pads control the city.
“Mr. Pace is a good man, with the
best interests of the city at heart, and
I am confident that he will do his ut
most to give the people of Atlanta a
good government as far as it lies in his
power to do so as a member of the
Police Board.
“The election of Mr, Pace and Mr,
Clarke, 1 think, marks the end of th«
domination of Council by a lot of
cheap political whip-straws. Being
browbeaten by these politicians un
der the guise of reformers has long
been Council’'s greatest fault, but by
electing Mr. Pace and Mr. Clarke they
broke loose, and it is to be hoped they
stay loose.”
Council elected two other members
of the Police Board besides Mr. Pace
and Mr. Clarke. Dr. A. H. Baskin
was elected without opposition from
the First Ward to succeed Carlos
Mason, and Andy R. King was re
elected from the Ninth without op
posgition. Dr., Baskin is a former mem
ber of Council and is understood to
be opposed to Mayor Woodward,
while Mr. King 18 reported to be more
or less “on the fence,” being lukewarm
in his support of Chief Beavers

of Blaze. |
Fire within the space of little more
than one hour Tuesday afternoon to
tally destroved the $20,000 home and
imperiled the family of James S.I
Floyd, vice president of the Atlant.;l
National Bank, at No. 35 East Fif
teenth street. I
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd. with their two
children, James and Frances, had re- I
turned from a visit to Fiorida onhl
the night before. Mr. Floyd was at;
the bank Tuesday. Repair men over-
Lauled the furnace in.the marning,
and, after building a fire, left, 3
A few minutes later the butler at a
home about a quarter of a mile awey
noticed the roof of the Floyd home
ab_lazg. He told the servants a} the
raveied from house to hotse tnil it
reached the Flovd home, where ihe
occupants were as yet unaware of lhe
fire, '
All of the expensive furnishings of
the home were consumed except for
a small portion which Mrs, Floyd and
the children, with the help of neigh
bors, carried out before the smoke
became too dense. Only the brick
walls remained standing.
- The insurance on the house was
about $12,000. A defective flue is be
lieved to have been the cause of the
fire.
The home of Mr, and Mrs. Roger
Dewar, next door fo the Floyd resi
dence, caught fire twice and the fire
men, seeing that they would be un
able to save the home of Mr. Floyd,
turneg all the streams on the other
building. The damage there was
slight.

WAY GLEARED T 0
CENTENCE FRANK
The way was paved Tuesday for
the resentencing of Leo M. Frank in
Judge Hill's court, and the next move
on the part of the defense, when the
remittitur was received from the Su
preme Court by the Clerk of the Su
perior Court, leaving it optional with
Solicitor Hugzh Dorsey as to when he
should apply for the pronouncement
of sentence for the second time upon
the prisoner. '
The Solicitor said he would move
for the resentencing Tuesday after
noon or Wednesday.
Much conjecture was caused by the
absence from town of both Rosser and
Herbert J. Hang. While denial was
made that either of them was in New
York on any mission connected with
the Frank case, the rumor was given
circulation that they proposed for one
thing to interview Willlam 8. Osburn,
one of the State's handwriting cx
perts who never was called as a wit
ness.
Solicitor Dorsey said Tuesday that
Osburn could say only that the notes
were in the handwriting of Jim Con
ley, a fact admitted by Conley and
everyone clse,
The defense continued ot work on
the evidence to be sumitted in the ex
traordinary motion for a new trial
before Judge HIIL
¥'rank himself appeared to be in
excellent spirits after a long talk with
Detective Willlam Burns Monday in
his cell. He would not say, however,
that the great investigator had de
cided to take up his case,
Burns is said already to have gone
thoroughly over the brief of evidence
{n the case. iHs talk with Frank
Monday was regarded as much for
the purpose of bhecoming acquainted
with the personality of the prisoner
as it was to learn more of the details
