have been found on Brower, was pre
pared for the purpose of getting the

Charges Frame-up,

Says Thaw's Lawyer
(By International News Service.)
PITTSRAURG, Jan. 10.—That the
New York indictments charging Har
ry K. Thaw with maltreatment of
Fredoeriok Gump, Jr. are a “frame
up” is the Intimation of persons close
to Thaw here,
“Mr. Thaw will prove his innocence
at the propert time,” was the confi
dent declaration of his Pittsburg at
torney, Rtephen Stone, today.
“From what | have learned, I am |
positive the accusations made in this
oase will fall flat. Therefore, we ask
the public to hold judgment in abey- |
ance or untll such time as Mr. Thaw |
and his friends can tell what they
know.”
Mr. Btone would not discuss the lfi-l
gal phases of the case, as he said!
Thaw's New York attorneys would
probably handle that.
Attorney Btone declared Thaw was
not in Pittsburg, but “somewhere in
the East"”
Roger O'Meara, head of a local de
tective agenoy, who has been Thaw's
counselor through his many esca
pades of past years, sald today:
“l know nothing about this New
York case, but 1 know there are a
lot of people there who would like to
see Thaw put away.”

Found on Prisoner
(By International News Service.)
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 10.—Despite
dispatches from Pittsburg to the ef
fect that Harry X. Thaw is belleved
to be secluded In his Beechwood
boulevard home there, detectives are
scouring the city for the slayer of
Stanford White today.
Reports that Thaw and his follow
ers have had gay times since their ar- |
rival here several days ago have led
detectives to belleve Thaw may be
hiding here still, and they are follow-
Ing tralls which lead from the white
light district.
Detective Bernard Flood, of the
New York Distriot Attorney's office,
#ald today he felt certain that Thaw
would be apprehended within a few
days, and expressed satisfaction at
the arrest of the man who gave his
name as Oliver Brower, and who |is
held under bonds of $1,200.
“l am convinced that we have not
got the wrong man,” said Flood. “At
least we have found on this man some
remarkable evidence in the shape of a
statement.
“This statemegt was part of start
ling dowlmentu?y evidence the man
possessed, and not only connects him
and many others with the case in an
important manner, but 1t will prove
the guilt of Thaw and O'Byrne.”
O'Byrne was Indicted with Thaw,
and is supposedly a bodyguard for
Thaw, Detective Mood believes that
O'Byrne is none other than Brower,
now in custody,
The statement which was taken
from Brower, Flood says, is a type
written copy of a statement written
In Ink under pressure by Frederick

in the struggle for life.
~ Shortly after daylight he began
sinking rapidly and doctors realized
the end was at hand.
To the tall, straight plainsman
whose abundant white halr fell to his
shoylders it seemed that he suffered
only from a cold and with his iron
will he thought that he could resist
the onslaught of disease.

UIRE NEED OF SGHOOLS
15 PUT UP TO COUNGIL
If all the people in Atlanta could
have sat through the session of the
Counefl Finance Committee Wednes
day morning and heard the appeals of
both men and women for funds for
relief from certain conditions in the
city schools, there perhaps wouldn't
be 50 much talk of protest against the
proposed increases in tax and water
rates,
Mrs. V. H. Kriegshaber, of the
Board of Lady Visitors of the Schools
Department, recounted a visit of her
board to a certain school that mada
one despise the selfishness and mean
ness of petty politics,. And the facts
she revealed showed, more than any
of the bilg improvements plans that
have been discussed, what a pathetic
plight city finances have to come to.
“Last year, you remember,” nho‘
said, “you gave us an appropriation
of $250 for penny lunches for the‘
schools. The schools where they were
needed were without gas and we
couldn't use the appropriation, lum-‘
ing it back into the city treasury.
Want' an Appropriation.
“Now we are able to establish some |
of these penny lunch kitchens, mdl
we want an upprogrlauon. |
“To show you the need of them 1
will tell you of a visit of our commit
tee to the——— Street School. (The
name of the school is omitted for ob
vioug reasons.)
“We made a canvass of the school
to learn how many children ocame
without lunches. There were 1656—
one-third of the school.
- “Many of these sald they had had
no breakfast that morning.
“We looked at some of the lunches
others brought. One little flrl had a
small onion and a hard biscuit, A
little boy had a piece of cold fish and
a plece of cornbread, ‘
“We know, _rntlemon. that the city
is hard up. here are several other
schools in the city where the children
are In fust as bad a fix. Some of the
Children are being almost starved.
Yot we are only asking you for SIOO
this year.” |
| Other Conditions Described. |
~_That is not an isolated case. Mrs,
George Obear, Jr., described the
Moreland Avenue School building, in
a section of attractive homes. The
children who go there have good
lunches. They come from cultured
‘homes.
“The oity is paying 3100 a month
for a school building out there that is
not worth more than SSO, except to
burn fuel” she sald.
“It is an old patent medicine fac
tory. All around it are old broken
bottles. The first story is below the
leval of the street. The building
leaks.
“There Is an unusual amount of
sickness among the children out there
during the winter season,
“Some 250 children attend there.
There are 600 in the neighborhood
Who ought to be in the Moreland
Avenue School,
“Gentlemen, we ask you again, as
We have year after year, pleass give
us_a decent school bullding.”
' That wasn't the end. J. C. Ward
law, assistant superintendent of
schools, remarked In an aside: l
“There are four or five sections
Just as m oft.”
ittes Given Faots,
R. J. Guinn, president of the Hoard
of Education, got up and shot facts
At the committee with the rapidity
of machine-gun fire. Here they are,
unadorned with Major Guinn's embel.
lishing diction, but none the less im
preasive:
There will be at least 100 applt
cants for admission into the high
schools next year for whom there will
“‘l"r? - hools will
& gErAammar s have an
overflow of 1,000,
The number of negro children who
'will have no place to go to school will
total 5,000,
Every negro teacher today is teach
ing double sessions, or 120 pupils to
the teacher, in places that are not fit
to teach anything.
The new compulsory education law
imposes a penalty on parents who
don’t send their children to school.
Who Will Lose Seat?
“Whose child is going to be elim
inated ?" he asked.
“Unless something is done, 1,800
white children are going to be kept
out.
“Are you willing to say whose chil
dren they shafl be.
“Are we going to leave the negro
children to grow up wild? If we do,
our own children some day will pay
the price in vicious, lawless people
about them.”
Of course, all of the school system
is not in so bad a fix. Some of the
scholos are the equal of any in the
country, just as some people in At
lanta live in palatial homes and ride
about in limousines, It is doubtful if
‘but very few of the fortunate people
in Atlanta know that lttle children
are going to school here half starved.
‘ Grm Plan as Remedy.
~ The broader view of the situation
was revealed In the general outline of
llchool improvements. The remedy for
the overflow wsuggested by Major
Guinn was the plan of four junior
high schools, taking the puplls from
the seventh grades of the grammar
schools and the first grades of the
high schools.
_Outlining the bigger plans of the
School Department, Major Guinn said
he was convinced that the high
schogls shbuld be run all the year.
“Many children are denied a high
#chool education,” he said, “because [ 4
ltho limited sessions and the hours.”
He declared the high schools should
‘be kept open all the year, trom § A m,
to 10 p. m. e .
"It will not do to turn away chil
dren who are knocking for admission
inte the public schools,” he said.
| Limited Grades Suggested.
‘ Willlam H. Terrell is cmmn of
the finance committee of the Board
of Education. ]
| He explained that the board plunnod*
to I!mit the negro schools next year
to six grades, substituting for the
seventh grade a year of industrial
training, }
The budget contemplated big things,
As have been outlined from time to
‘ume in the papers. The thing tho!l
stood out, though, in the plea for
mono‘ for schools was thfs: |
“Why should men kick so on paying
a little more water rate and a lttle
more taxes when little children are
forced to go to school in places as
bad as old stables, and many of uum
#it at their desks all day suffering
pangs of hunger.” -
TO MOVE ‘TO CITY HALL.
«When the Finance Committes ad.

members of the Board of Education,

close by him in the doorway of the
home at the time of the shooting, said
Yeakey fired three other shots, one of
them smashing the lamp she was
holding in her hand. Yeakey had gone
to the Donehoo home and summoned
Donehoo to the door, and was sald by
Mrs. Donehoo immediately to have
commenced firing without a word of
warning, Mrs. Donehoo had accom
panied her husband to the door to
hold a light for him.
Mrs. Donehoo formerly was Miss
Sarah McClelland, of Marietta.
Yeakey Refuses to Talk.
Yeakey Wednesday declined to
make any statement as to the shoot
ing. He merely remarked:
“I don’t think there is any nocensltx
for me to say anything at this time.”
Relatives of young Donehoo assert
ed that Miss Yeakey had been ex
tremely jealous, and that the fact
that he had married Miss McClelland
formed the basis for the shooting.
Donehoo is a distant cousin of Coro
ner Paul Donehoo. |
Mrs. Donehoo, the bride, was al
most overcome by the shooting of her
husband. She declared that when he
was called to the door by Yeakey he
had no thought of trouble, and that
he was shot down without a chance
to save himself,
‘Mrs. Donehoo told of Miss Yeakey's
infatuation for Donehoo
She Introduced Them.
“I introduced Paul to Lily Yeakey,”
she said. “We werg working for the
John W. Moore Optical Company
then, in the summer of 1915, lAly
must have gong wild over him, for
Paul told me how she used to call
him up. One day he sald she had tel
ephoned him and proposed to him.
This was last summer, in Leap Year.
He sald he laughed and told her he'd
have to get his father's consent. But
she called up his father and asked
him for Paul. His father told her
not to be foolish and hung up the
' telephone.
“Lily told me she was going to
lmarry Paul, but T told her she had
the wrong idea, for Paul was going to
marry me. And In October we were
married.
“Idly called him up next day and
every day since. A few weeks ago
her brother began to worry Paul,
threatening to take out a warrant for
him for breaking his promise to Lily.
Monday night Yeakey came out to the
house and talked with Paul, who told
me those people are bothering me
again.’
“Last night about 7 o'clock there
was a knock at the door, and Mrs.
Queens answered it. She said a man
wanted to see Paul. He went to the
door and there was Yeakey. Both
sald, ‘Good-evening,’ and there was a
pause, as though they didn't want to
talk before us. Paul kept saying, ‘T'li
see you downtown tomorrow,’ while
Yeakey said, ‘No, see me right now.’
At last he said, T'm going to close
this right now.’ He stepped off the
porch into the yard and told Paul to
come out. Paul refused, and Yeakey
drew a pistol and began shooting.”
