letter to-day from Clark Griffith,
manager of the Washington team, in
which. the leader of 'the Senators
savs:
“Am returning Holland®: to. you.
This youngster looks awfully good to
me, but I believe that he needs an
other year of séasoning in the South
ern League. .1 shall expect to: get
him back in the fall.
“] have been playving Holland at’
shert and he did remarkably well un
der the circumstances that surround
ed him. 1 believe that you will find
him a better shortstop than third
baseman.” - A
\ This letier, came from Charlottes
\ille, Va., where the Senators are
traaining. Holland was bought by
wag‘l"fingtnn last fall. He joined the
Craciers in mid-season and did ex
cellent “work. despite the fact that he
was fresh out of college ball ranks,
Manager §mith announced this af
ternoon that he.would probably give
Holland a tryout at short instead of
at third.

Three Trains Empty Fort Mc-

Amid the tears of sweethearts, the
cheers of civilians and the inspiring
music of the regimental band, the
gallant Seventeenth left for the Mex

The Second Battalion, composed of
275 soldlers and fifteen officers, un
der Major B. F. Hardaway, bade fare
well to Fort McPherson, and left at
11 o'clock on a special train for Ea

The second train left at noon, bear

Memphis. ;
Just before the departure of each
train there were many affecting
scenes as the soldiers told their
friends and relatives good-bye,
The general opinion among the pri

would see actual service in Mexico.
The First Battalion saw patrol serv

mobilized the troops on the border in

2 CENTS ' 14850
BUNo DERIDES PLAN
FOR SHIELDING CONLEY
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 self
confessed accessory of Leo M. Frank in‘the slaying of Mary
Phagan. f
‘““Conley 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
lev. The time has not arrived
yvet when the hest 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 sald he in
tended to spend most of Thursday
quizzing Frank in his cell in the
Tower and going carefully over gn;
convicted man’s story of his move
ments on April 26, 1913, ‘and hisivers
sion of subsequent event;‘!.‘ e s
Calls Case Easy. !
“This case,” sald Burns, "“is easier
than 1 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-
NIGHT
EDITION
viction if it should develop that a
grievous mistake has been made.
“I have never expressed any con
viction as to the innocence or guiit
of Frank, and do not intend to do so
until the investigation is completed.
Of course, I hope that our findings
will prove the man innocent, but I am
working with an absolutely open
mind. The trail certainly looks clear
enough to me, and 1 belleve Atlanta
and the country at large will be sat
isfled that the truth has been found
when the final report is made.”
Burns said he had wired for Dan
Lehon, head of his New Orleans of
fice, to come to Atlanta to work with
him on the case,
This effort to block Burns seeing
Conley ' was. in the form of: a
ritten demand by William M. Smitn,
C nley’s lawyer, to the Sheriff, that
all visitors be kept awcy from his
client's cell.
This is the second order of its kind,
