PREACHER CONFERS
WITH HARTRIDGE
Janies Osborne Says He Is
Ready to Aid Defense
If Called In.
New York, Sept. 10.—Former Assle
taot District Attorney Osborne returned
from Europe on the Atlantic transport
liner Minneapolis today and announced
that he would defend Harry K. Thaw
when he came to trial should the pris
oner's present counsel call him Into
the case.
“No one has communicated with me
on the matter thus far," said Mr. Os
borne, “but I am prepared to make the
defense In the cose."
The greatest mystery was today
thrown about the visit to Harry K
Thaw In the Tomlm of the llev. Dr.
Francis J.. Patton, henil of the Prince
Ion Theological Seinlnory, and former
ly president of the University.
Dr. Patton called at the prison while
Mrs. Evelyn Kesblt Thaw.was visiting
her husband. The clergyman's visit
had been expected, and after he had a
talk with Thaw In the presence of the
prisoner's wife, the latter came down
naira with Dr. Patton and the two
drove In Mrs. Thaw's electric hansom
to the offices of Clifford W. Hartrldge,
Thaw's counsel.
Neither Dr. Patton himself nor Mrs.
Thaw, nor Attorney Hartrldge, would
rxplaln what the purpose of the clergy
man's visit to the Tombs was. They
all admitted It was of considerable sig
nificance, but resolutely refused to ex
plain Its Import.
MAY ASK GOVERNOR
FOR A 8PEEDY TRIAL.

Thaw today upon the probable effect of
an appeal by his counsel, Clifford W.

compel the district attorney to expedite
(he business of his office so as
bring Thaw to trial without further
undue delay.
Thaw fears that at least live or six
months must elapse before the defend
ants who will precede him In court face
a Jury, unless the district attorney
mores with more celerity (pan he has
recently.

IRE CHIEF JOYNER
OCT, 1ST
Hot Contest Is ou to Suc
ceed to the Posi
tion.
t*hlef \V. It. Joyner, flow mayor-elect,
after 21 years of active service, will
resign his position as head of the At
lanta lire department October 1,
as near to that date as convenient to
the city council.
After Thief Joyner resigns the city
council ’will elect another chief. This
will l»e done at the first session of the
city fathers In October.
“Who will be the neat chief?” Is the
question.
Assistant Thief llenry I*, llayne and
Hosetuan William B. Tummlnga are
the* two candidates for the position.
Hojh candidates have been working
since Thlet Joyner first annnounced
that he would enter tlie mayoralty race.
Both candidates claim the majo^ty of
counctlmanlc votes.
Many rumors are afloat as to which
will get the position.
Thief Joyner states that he will not
throw his Influence either way and Is
"mum” as to which will succeed him.
H Is evident that the city ciumcll Is
divided among Itself to no little degree.
Which side will be the stronger can not
be said. It Is claimed that what Is
known In political circles as “the Eng
lish faction” Is back of Tunuulngs,
while Huy no Is backed by the opposi
tion.
This matter has. up to the present
time, been exceedingly quiet, but from
now on will be a lively political topic.
Both inen have served the flre de
partment In nearly every capacity up
to chief. Mr. Hayne has held the posi
tion 6f assistant chief for some time
and Mr. Tummlnga was assistant t hief
before he resigned several years ago.
He re-entered the department ubout
eight months ago as hoseman.

ON BJ1 LOOTING
Says the Directors Ought to
Kick Guilty Presi

Chicago, Sept. 10.—The following
copyflght cable has been received by
The Tribune:
"Tangier, Morocco,' Sept. 19.—Paul
O. Stenaland parsed a quiet Sunday,
but his cuetodlans got Into trouble
with the Moorish government. Stem-
land coffered laet night for lack of air
and (hi* morning his old bronchial
trouble developed. We broke open the
stairway In hie prison, locked up by
the chief of artillery, and moved the
irleoner to a flat roof where he en-
, oyed the sunshine and osone from the
sea.
"The Moorish guards, however, re
igned lo the pasha what had been
done. The pasha kicked to Minister
of Foreign Affairs Torres, who In turn
lodger a complaint with the American
legation, saying that If Stenaland was
not returned to a barred prison the
Monrleh guard would be withdrawn.
"The roof garden was closed Immedi
ately and Stenaland spent the morning
with us moralising on the various Chi
cago banka. Some, doubtless, would
have been Interested In his discourse.
“Stensland's Idea of a modern Bunk
Is one run by a hired president who
could be kicked out by the directors If
anything goes wrong."

TEXTILE TRAINING
. IN NEW COLLEGES
Textile and technical training may
be made a part of the training In the
eleven district agricultural colleges In
the state. Electricity may also form a
feature of the curriculum If the
Gainesville Idea Is carried out.
From a statement given out by As
sistant State School Commissioner
John N. Rogers Monday, It would seem
that many of the congressional district
agricultural colleges will take on
wider scope than has heretofore been
contemplated.
Professor Rogers attended the maas
meeting In Gainesville Saturday, to se
cure the necessary land and funds with
which to secure the college for the
ninth district
On* msn offered 800 scree of land,
for which he recently refused 33.000
cash. Another offered 176 scree, with
good water power and a mill site there
on, It being proposed to add a textile
department to the school and install
an electric light plant therein.
There la not a district In the state
but that could offer opportunities
along the same line for textile and
technical training.
