regular monthly meeting of council

ing, that he couid foresee a wrangle

Teach Your Child
How to Be Healthy
Regular Bowel Movement
From Infancy Insures
Good Health in
Later Years.
We cannot all start life with the
advantages of money, but every child
born is entitled to the heritage of
good health. Through unfortunate
ignorance or carelessness in the feed
ing of a baby its tiny stomach may
become deranged. The disorder
spreads to the bowels and before the
mother realizes it the two chief or
gans on which the infant’s comfort and
health depend are causing it great
suffering. If the condition is allowed
to continue grave ailments often re
sult.
There is, however, no occasion for
alarm, and the sensible thing to do—
but it should be done instantly—is to
give baby a small dose of a mild
laxative-tonic. In the opinion of a
great many people, among them such
well-known persons as the parents of
Ber>' | Lee Woodard, 3 years old, of
MouKvfc, Ga., the proper remedy is
Dr. C»» well’s Syrup Pepsin. Mrs. I.
N. Woodard says that little Bertha
was troubled with constipation for over
a year, and that after trying several
different kinds of remedies she found
her relief in Syrup Pepsin. It is a
ndld, pleasant-tasting laxative, which
every person likes, does not gripe nor
cramp, and contains that most excel
lent of all digestants, pepsin.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin is espe
cially intended for infants, children,
women, old people and all others to
whom harsh cathartics, salt waters,
pills, etc., are distressing. In fact, in

The Mary Warren Home authorities
rai£e objection to the present loca
tion because of the unpleasant and
unhealthy odors from the city's sta
bles across the street.
The course the matter took was ta
vored by Councilman Moore, who at
tirst attempted to raise an objection.
Increase Laborers’ Wages.
One of the most important actions
ot city council last night was the
unanimous adoption of an ordinance
to amend an ordinance providing for
an increase in the wages of city la
borers. Brfcsfl' it gives all day la
borers of the city an increase of 2u
cents per day and grants them time
and a half time for all overtime they
make, that is, ever tetj. hours a day.
This raises the maximum scale from
$2.55 to $2.05 per day. An amend
ment ottered by Councilman Barnes
to give the laborers double time for
all extra time made on Sunday was
reterred to Chairman Woodward ot
tne committee and lost.

DORSEY ASSAILS
FRiK OEFEBSE
Many Affidavits Submitted to
Combat Motion for a New
Trial.
Atlanta, Ga.—At the continuation of
the extraordinary motion for new
trial for Loo M. Frank before .lud&'o
Benjamin H. Mill Monday, Solicitor
Dorsey made a sensational counter
showing against the granting of the
motion.
The solicitor attacked the Frank
motion at many points. Ho read to
the court an affidavit from Ruth Rob
inson. charging that the affidavit sub
mitted by the defense as coming from
her and supposed to have been wit
nessed by C. Y\. Burke, special inves
tigator, was a forgery. Suniiel A. Par
dee und W. B. Green offered affida
vits declaring the testimony given by
them to the defense, in which they
claimed to have seen Frank at the
corner of Whitehall and Alabama
streets between 1:03 and 1:05 on the
day of the tragedy, whs a mistake.
They declared they wor at Walton
and Broad streets at 12:30 o’clock, and
that, they had come to this point from
Whitehall and Alabama.
Mary Rich, colored, declared in an
affidavit that she had never given any
testimony to the effect that she had
seen Conley come out of the alley be
hind the pencil factory at 2:15 o’clock
on the day of the tragedy and that
the first she heard of any such claim
was when she read a story about it in
tlie newspapers.
Offered Money to Leave.
Helen Ferguson declared in an af
fidavit read by the solicitor that she
had been offered one hundred dollars
to leave town and that repeated ef
forts had been made by .Jimmie
Wrenn, masquerading as a Mr. How
ard, to get her to repudiate her tes
timony given during the Frank trial.
She told a detailed story of how
Wrenn, alias Howard, had made love
to her and offered to marry her but
always insisted that she make an af
fidavit in the Frank case.
C. B. Dalton, who returned to the
city Monday, gave a sensationalv affi
davit which was submitted to' the
court, in which he swore hi? had made
his repudiation of his testimony at
Frank's trial in Fort Myers, Fla., at
the suggestion of C. \\ . Burke, and
on the promise of Burke that he would
be paid SIOO and given railroad fare
back to Atlanta. He alleged that af
ter he had made his repudiating state
ment, Burke failed to pay him. Dal
ton, in his latest affidavits, reaffirms
the testimony which he gave against
Frank at his trial and . dels many new
details to his story. He declares he
did see Frank in his office with girls;
that he had frequently seen Frank go
back into the factory with women;
that he, Dalton, had bought beer for
Frank and his companions and that
Frank was the first person to tell him
about a cot in the basement.
Order Blank Claim.
The defense's claim that the order
blanks on which the murder notes
were written must have come from
the basement was attacked by the
solicitor through the affidavit of
Philip Chambers, of 18 Warner avenue,
a former office hoy of Frank. Cham
bers swore that he worked at the fac
tory when H. F. Becker was master
mechanic there and had an office on
the top floor.
He swore that when Becker left the
factory his desk was brought to
Frank’s office and that Frank l.lmself
took the desk and gave his own desk
to Darley. He swore that all of the
papers, hooks, order blanks and car
bon copies of blanks that had been in
Becker’s possession were placed in the
supply room adjoining Frank’s office;
that none of these papers were carried
to the basement; that, in fact, no
trash was allowed to remain in the
basement, hut was immediately
burned.
Made Photos.
R. M. Devore, a photographer, gave
an affidavit to the effect that lie had
made photographs of the murder notes
and that in his opinion the sericl num
ber on the order blanks on which one
of the notes was written was 1818 and
not 1018, as claimed by the defense.
A sensational affidavit was read
trom (\ B. Ragsdale in which the min
ister told a detailed story of how. as
hr claimed, he had made the afft
davit which he gave to Frank’s de
fense at the suggestion of Arthur
