DECLARES BANDIT ROBBED HIM IN OFFICE
DEADLOCK IN POLICEBOARDRACE
Cashier’s Story Doubted by Man
in Adjoining Office—Police
Without Clew.
Considerable mystery surrounds
the alleged bold daylight holdup of I.
Steirberg at the cashier's window of
the Jefferson Loan Society at No. 59
Forsyth street, reported to the police
and fruitlessly investigated by de
tectives Thursday morning, The ban
dit is said to have gotten $45.
Steinberg told the police he was
counting money at the cashier's win
dow when a man entered and told
Fim he represented Bradstreet's.
Steinberg says the man drew a gun,
pushed open the brass barring in the
cashier’'s cage opening, held him at
the point of the gun, took $45 from
the desk, sayving he was “hungry and
needed the money,” then turned and
ran out
! Steinberg says he ran after the
' man, who dashed across the street,
Iwith ‘the revolver still in his hand.
. E. L. Moncrief Doubts Story.
. E. L., Moncrief, a fixture store pro
i prietor, whose place is just across the
entrance from the loan office, said he
|\\as seated at ais desk, which com
'mands a view ' through plate glass
i\\‘indows of the loan office, cashier's
cage, entrance and street, at the time
' the holdup is said to have occurred,
"It is possibie 1 would not have seen
:»tho excitement even If it nappened,”
~said Moncrief, “but I hardly think it
possible that, sitting within fifteen
feet of the entire proceedings, and
having an unobstructed view of the
scene, | would have missed it.
“I had been sitting at the desk
duing some work, for about an hour.
The first I knew of any excitement
was when 1 saw policemen entering
the loan office.
Boy Says He Saw Robber.
“] asked what the trouble was, and
was told of the exciting holdup which
was said to have happened right in
front of me not twenty minutes be
fore.” ;
A young white boy, son of a man in
Moncrief’s place, told the police he
saw the bandit run from the loan
office.
Moncrief says he had not noticed
the boy around at the time the holdup
was supposed to have taken place,
and that the boy came around a few
moments after he noticed the officers
there and asked what the trouble was,
Reiterates Story.
A number of stores fitted with
plate-glass windows commanding a
view of the loan office and the street,
were visited by the detectives, but no
one save the Loy next door was found
who had seen anything of the alleged
trouble.
When told that there were those
who were skeptical as to his really
having been held up anAd robbed,
Steinberg’s only comment was:
“Well, he's got $45 of mine, and
that convinces me there was a holdup.
What I should have done was L
shoot at him through the window as
he went out, but I was too excited to
think of that at the time, although 1
had a revolved in my pocket.”

President in Person Urges Con
gress to Nullify Exemption
Clause of Canal Law. .
WASHINGTON, March §.—Declar
ing that the exemption of American
coastwise shipping from the payment
of Panama (‘anal tolls was based
upon a “mistaken economic policy”
and was “in contravention of our
treaty with Great Britain,” President
Wilson to-day asked Congress to re
peal the Adamson act containing the
exemption clause. The appeal was
made in person by the President, whe
appeared before the Senate and
House of Representatives in joint
Session
! The President declared that all the
| world powers were unanimous in
judgment that the exemption was in
violation of our treaty obligations.
Debated Only in U. S.
{ Only in the United States, he said,
| was the exemption clause regarded as
ldebalable or as open to question.- He
sald he had not come to Congress to
| deliver a personal view, but that con
!slderalions of ‘ustice and wisdom lea
i him to believe that the proviso should
lbe repealed without delay.
| The President added that the Unit- |
!ml States “ought not to quibble” in
| the matter of a treaty obligation. He
;intimated that the Panama Canal
tolls question was involved in all the
| other foreign questions now before
the United States because he would
not know how to deal with them un
less the exemption is repealed.
Sixth Time Before Congress.
President Wilson's appearance be

session of Congress in the year and'a !

Vice President Marshall and the
Senate members, walking two by two,
'marched into the House chamber at
12:35 o'clock. The Vice President
took his place upon the rostrum, and
the Senators took front benches,

‘Dark Horse May Succeed Mason.
]
Vernoy Expected to Control
l Second Ballot.
. Insistent rumors of a “dark horse”
as chairman of the Board of Police
Commissioners were current in politi
joal circles Thursday, owing to the
iuction of Mayor Woodward in indors
;ing and opgnly campaigning for Rob
ert T. Pace as head of the board.
t The Mayor's activity had dissipated
’ the belief that Vice Chairman William
|P. Fain was assured of the cha#¥rman
' ship, and has complicated the situa
' tion so that any member of the board,
!:x;xparr*n!ly, has a chance
: Neither of the three avowed candi
idales for the place—William P. Fain,
' W. A. Vernoy and Robert T. Pace
will have the necessary seven v-tes
when the board meets nexi Tuesday
|to elect a chairman.
Clarke Joins Mayor.
The llne-up\lndicatts that Fain will
not receive more than six votes, owing
to the veering of Robert C. Clarke to
the Mayor's side,
Political wiseacres give Pace five
votes on the second ballot, with Ver
noy in doubt, aithough on the first
ballot the latter is expected to get
three.
On the first ballot it is understood
that FFain will be supported by Com
missioners Baskin, Smith, King,
}Dixon and himself; Mr. Pace will
‘have the votes of Commissioners
Clarke, Colcord, himself and lhe;
Mayor, while Commissioners Vernoy,
Johnson and Garner will vote for
Vernoy.
Vernoy Will Hold Power.
The shifting will begin on the sec
ond ballot, when Johnson and Gar
ner are expected to desert the stand
ard of Vernoy and go to Pace and
Fain, respectively. This will give
Fain six votes and Pace five, and will
leave the balance of power in the
hands of Vernoy, who {8 generally
conceded to have little chance of elec
tion.
Vernoy, by voting for Fain, ran!
elect hini; and by voting for Pace
can perpetuate the deadlock whichl
would force the election of a compro- |
mise candidate or leave Fain in {'nn-l
trol as actual chairman. This, it is
understood, is extremely likely, be
cause both Pace and Fain declare
their supporters will stick to them.
1t is generally recognized that the
Fain men will not go over to the
Mayor and Pace.
Scramble on for Seat
Of Alderman Harwell.
The stretch of carpet belween {he
door of Mayor James G. Woodward's
office and his desk was worn almost
smooth Thursday by the tread of a
constant stream of Aldermanic can

and politicians of high and low de
gree, who came to sound the Mayor
regarding a successor to Alderman
John H. Harwell, of the First Ward,
who will begelected by the General
Council Mom’ay afternoon.
The representatives of the First
Ward in the Council called upon Mr.
Mason Wednesday afternoon and ol

“Burns Will Get the Truth,”
Says Prisoner, as He Scores
City Detectives. '
The date for the resentencing
to death of l.eco M. Frank nas
been fixed by Judge Ben Hill,
but Thursday was being kept
secref. The information has
been given to Hugh Dorsey, So
lieitor, and Reuben Arnold, chief
counsel for the defense. But the
information was in striet confi
dence.
It is known that Judge Hill desires
to have Frank brought to the court
house and sentenced with no large
crowd of curious and possibly clam
orous bystanders.
“lI can't tell you anything about
the hour,” said Mr. Arnold, “and I
can't say that it won't be at night,
even, But it will be when the usual
courtroom crowa is not there. That's
all I can say.”
All Depends on Judge.
There was an impression that thae
sentence would be repronounced late
Thursday. Judge Hilli declined pos
sitively to say anything about if.
It all depends on the judge now.
Mr. Dorsey has filed his habeas cor
pbus writ, and whenever the judge de
sires to impose the sentence, he has
only to send for the prisoner.
“‘You can't fool all the people all
the time,"” quoted Frank, commenting
Thursday on the latest developmen:s
in his case. And he is sure that Wil=
llam J. Burns, who has announced
that he is in the case to the finish, will
do his part toward the enlightenment
of the people of Georgia., He was
confident Burns will get the truth.
Frauk also found a source of grat!-
fication in the statement by John
Black, city detective, who was proms=-
Ising to black somebody’'s eyes un
less the accusations of a frame-up
ceased to be hurled at him.
“When you areé in a shooting gal
lery,” said Frank, “and hit the bull's~
eye, you know what happens-—the bell
rings. John Black's roar of defiancsa
this morning sounds to e like the
ringing of a bell.- ~
| “Light Is Breaking,” He Says.
“He says he's °tired of these accu
satlons.” I have no doubt of it. He's
mighty tired; but not as tired as he's
going to be,
“The light is breaking. I can see a
clearing glow even in the direction of
Decatur street, over the police station,
It has been my experience of life that
a man doesn’t make a fuss until he is
hurt. John Black is making a fuss.
T .u can draw your own conclusions.”
Frank declined to comment on the
statement of George W, Epps that nis
son's recent affidavit, retracting h:is
testimony of the trial, was false,
“I do ..ot care to take issue with
parental authority over a young bo_\':”
he said. "After all, .ue boy is only a
child. But you know th.. the work
ings of consclence are very marked in
