WAR ORDERS TO
AD'J GENINASH
Georgia Militia May Mobilize
at Atlanta. Department Is
sues "instructions.
Atlanta, Ga. —Having already received
orders from the headquarters of the
first division of the United States army,
at Governor’s Island, N. Y., directing
him to find a site for the mobilization
of troops and make the necessary ar
rangements to have such a site prepared
for the purpose of encampment, Adju
tant General Nash is awaiting further
orders, which may call for having the
mobilization site prepared and the ac«
tual calling out of the national guard of
Georgia.
Whiie there has yet been no call for
volunteers or call for the national guard,
these preparatory orders are taken as
significant, and the members of the na
tional guard of Georgia are anxiously
awaiting developments. It is understood
that orders similar to those received by
Adjutant General Nash have been re
ceived by the adjacent generals of other
states.
The orders were received by Adjutant
General Nash on Wednesday, and read
as follows;
“Governor's Island, N. Y.
“Adjutant General—You will imme
diately find Governor’s Island, N. Y..
ste obtainable for mobilization camp
and find party able to furnish labor and
material to pipe camp grounds of water.
See about fuel. Make no arrangements
until further orders. Wire results.
(Signed) “SIMPSON.”
Adjutant General Nash stated that
tl ere w 11 le no trouble in finding avail
itl le g oun s for such an encampment,
lie ment'oned »he race track and the
grounds of Foil McPherson as readily
obtainable.
HO EOILET
GUILTY—BURNS
Detective Files His Preliminary
Report on Investigation. Dor
sey Preparing Answer.
Atlanta —Solicitor Dorsey shut him
self in his office in the Kiser building
Wednesday, locked the door, gave in
structions that he be not even called
over the telephone, and w orked two
shifts of stengraphers for 12 hours
preparing the answer of the prosecu
tion to the motion for a new trial to
1 e made by Leo Frank's counsel this
morning.
On the heels of the postponement of
the argument for the extraordinary
motion, which was made at 10 o'clock
WedneStS-.y morning. Detective Wil
liam J. Burns made an advance state
ment to the attorneys for Leo Frank
that he would name Jim Conley as
the guilty man in his report, and that
he would submit evidence to corrobo
late his aeusation.
The argument was postponed until
this morning when the attorneys for
both,.sides gathered before Judge Ben
Hill yesterday. Only the extraordi
nary motion on ground of new evi
dence will lie argued today. The mo
tion of Attorney John L. Tye to upset
the verdict of guilty on constitutional
grounds was continued until May 1.
Detective Burns announced Wednes
day that the reward he offered two
weeks ago to persons producing evi
dence of perversion against Leo Frank
had been raised from SI,OOO to SO,OOO.
Thus far he states, he has not been
Bide to find evidence of perversion
against anyone except the negro Con
ley.
The following is the letter revealing
the theme of the proposed Burns re
port, which the detective forwarded
to Frank’s attorneys Wednesday
morning:
April 22, 1014. —Messrs L. Z. Rosser,
Reuben R. Arnold. Henry A. Alexan
der, Herbert J Haas, Leonard Haas,
Attorneys for Leo M. Frank. Atlanta,
Ga. —Dear Sirs: I hoped to lie able to
furnish you today with my complete
report showing the results of m y in
vestigation of the murder of Mary
Phagan.
Investigation Complete.
My investigation is about complete,
with the exception of a few details
I have as yet been unable to cover. In
addition to these, I had also expected
to secure today from I'hlef of Detec
tives Langford. according to a prom
ise he had made while I was out of the
city, certain affidavits bearing on the
case, which were extremely Important,
in view of the fact that I had offered
a reward of SI,OOO to any person fur
nishing evidence of I.eo M. Frank’s
immorality and the only response
thereto was from Chief Langford, who
had stated, through the public press,
that he would turn certain affidavits
over to me upon my return to the city
which would prove this.
I called on Chief Lanford today and
requested to see the affidavits he had,
but he declined to let me see them,
and made the astounding assertion
that the charge of perversion did not
enter into the case and had simply
been injected by the attorneys for
Frank.
This being, as stated, the only re
sponse made by any person to my of
fer of reward for evidence of Leo M.
Frank's immorality, I am, of course,
very anxious to see these affidavits,
and kjntll I do see them it will he im
possible for me to render my final re
port.
I must, therefore, ask your Indul
gence in the matter until I can get
free and complete access to all evi
dence bearing upon the case.
Increases Reward.
It Is my intention today to Immed
iately increase the offer of reward for
such information as I have previously
mentioned to the gmount Qf $5,000.
I am now engaged In drawing up my
formal report, which will be submit
ted to you as soon as the same has
been finally completed. I desire, how
ever. to anticipate the same In these
respects:
1. The murder was unquestionably
the crime of a pervert or homicidal
tendencies of the most pronounced
type.
2. That Leo M. Frank is not a per
vert. and Is Innocent of the murder for
which he haa been convicted.
8. That James Conley—and he
alone—ls guilty of the murder of Mary
Phagan and further, he Is a pervert
of the type heretofore described.
All of w hich I am prepared to prove.

Will Augusta Stand
For Damaged Goods ?
Booked to Appear at the Grand
Next Tuesday.
Will Augusta allow "Damaged
Goods?”
This is a question which has inter
ested local theatregoers since the an
nouncement o£ the coming of Brieux's
much discussed sociological drama to
the Grand for one performance on
Tuesday night, April 28th. Those who
are amiliar with "Damaged Goods"
know that it treats with extreme
rankness a subject heretofore consid
ered taboo; that it is in reality a dra
matic exposition, written from the
doctor's standpoint, of a certain prev
alent but little known disease.
Undoubtedly there are many in Au
gusta, as there were in Cincinnati and
Boston, who question the advisability
of publicly parading the consequences
of social vice before mixed audiences,
as is done in "Damaged Goods.” In
Cincinnati, where the Brieux play was
presented last November, a board of
censors appointed by the mayor passed
|on the initial performance. This
■ board consisted of five representative
j citizens and included a Presbyterian
, divine, a high school teacher —the only
woman member —a dramatic critic and
ithe local health officer, At the con
! elusion of the performance the boar?
! stood four to one in favor of the play
i and it was allowed to continue without
; modification or further molestation.
1 In Boston, where there was very de-
I termined opposition to its presentation,
| Mayor Fitzgerald decided it should be
; censored and apointed for that purpose
one censor. In this instance the cen
sorship resulted in the elimination of
some ten lines in the last act and the
substitution therefor of lines written
by the mayor. With this slight change
the play was declared fit for public
presentation.
In connection with the recent per
formance of “Damaged Goods” in
Nashville, a committee of six censors
appointed by and including Mayor
i Howse passed on the moral merit of
! the play. After witnes m t
formance the censors were unanimous
j ly in favor of the play and urged its
| attendance.
Coincident with the announcement
|of the presentation of "Damaged
| Goods” in Joliet, 111., the chief of po
lice issued an order forbidding the
production of the play in that city.
On the other hand the Brieux play
has enjoyed the sponsorship of many
of the largest scientific and sociologi
cal organizations in the country, and
has been described by the New York
Times as “the play which initiates a
new epoch of civilization." It lias
been presented on a Sunday afternoon
iin Washington, D. 0., before an au
dience consisting of many of the na
tion's notables—practically the entire
house and senate being in attendance
—at whiih time it elicited almost
unanimous commendation and en
dorsement.
i But what Augusta thinks of “Dam
| aged Goods" is the question.

thing you saw while you were
abroad?”
