goods manufacturers, Senators Hoke
Smith, Overman and Ellison D. Smith
to-day united in a demand in the
Senate that speedy action be taken to
pass the bill fixing standards of cot
ton on exchanges. ;
Senator Hoke Smith quoted prices
on July cotton showing that the ex
(hange quotations are 756 points low
er on July cotton than on March cot
ton, despite the fact that July cot
ton is worth more. Senator Overman
recited similar facts, and said that
‘Lhe sale of middling cotlon on the
Newv York exchange was a farce,
wphey can't sell it to you there be
cause they have not got it,” said Sen
ator Overman. “They traded in 70,-
000,000 bales i®st vear when, accord
ing to the last report, they actually
lad 164 bales of middling cotton on
hand.”
Senator Ellison D. Smith gave no
tice that he.will call upon the bill to
morrow, after declaring that imme
diate executive action i{s necessary in
order to protect the unsold propor
tion of the 1913 crop and the crop of
cotton to be raised this year.

Dr. J. P. Kennedy, city health offi

wiped out in a short time.
Speaking of the. 900 cases of that
disease cared for by the health de
partment during 1913, Dr. Kennedy
stated that only 10 of the patientsl
had Peen successfully vaccinated.

The Second Battalion, composed of
275 soldiers and fifteen officers, un

11 o'clock on a special train for Ea

The second train left at noon, bear

William J. Burns Thursday scoffed at the idea that Jim Con
ley's lawyer or anyone else could prevent him from seeing the
negro when he decides the time has come to interview the seli
confessed accessory of l.eo M. Frank in the slaying of Mary
Phagan.
“(lfonley has been tried, con
vieted and sentenced,”’ said
Burns. ‘‘The idea that anyone
can keep from seeing him is ab
surd. 1 am going to see Con
ley. The time has not arrived
vet when the best results would
be obtained in any talk with
him, but whe nit does neither
Mr. Smith nor anyone else will
stop me. All this talk is mere
foolishness. "’
The famous detective said he in
tended to spend most of Thursday
quizzing Frank in his cell in the
Tower aud going carefully over the
convicted man’s story of hlg,move
ments on April 26, 1913, and his ver
sion of subsequent events.
Cnl‘. Case Easy.
“This case,” sald Burns, “is easier
than I expected. There is certainly
no mystery that can not be cleared
up, and the facts will speak for them
selves when made public, I am con
fident that Mr. Dorsey. is.open to con-

viction if it should develop that a
grievous mistake has been made,
“l have never expressed any com
viction as to the innocence or gufilt
of Frank, and do not intend to do s
until the investigation is completed.
Of course, I hope that our findinge
will prove the man innocent, but I amy
working: with an absolutely open
mind. The trail certainly looks clear
enough to me, and 1 believe Atlanta
and the country at large will be sat
isfied that the truth has been found
when the final report is made.”
Burns said he had wired for Dan
I.ehon, head of his New Orleans of
fice, to come to Atlanta to work with
him on the case. %
This effort to block Burns aedk
Conley was in the ‘form of ‘s
\ ritten demand by William M. Smita,
C nley’'s lawyer, to the Sheriff, that
all visitors be kept away from his
client’s cell.
