Senate Military Committee
Favors Abolishment of Office
Quartermaster General in
Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga. —Favorable retort on
the Miller bill to abolish tlie office of
quartermaster genera! In the Georgia
national guard was voted Friday by
the military committee of the senate.
And the committee voted io refer to
the whole senate the Perry bill to au
thorize reduction of the quartermas
ter's rank lo major.
The dlseuasion of the row between
Adjutant Genera! Nash and Quarter
master General Obear, involving Gov
ernor Slaton, was Indulged in h> the
committee, it finally cloning Its doors
and going into executive session for
the rest of the debate.
For about three weeks Chairman
McGregor had been trying to get the
committee together lor consider.ition
of the measure introduced to settle
the matter. One by Senator Miller,
would abolish th" • ■ Ic*. of quarter
master general •’« m.tlopal guard
of Georgia. \u, aer, by Senator
Perry, would “ibhof.ze the governor
io change the rank of quartermaster
general from brigadier to major, to
meet tlie terms of the Dick law.
In the debate Friday Senator Miller
argued emphatically against allowing
the continued existence of the quar
termaster general's office.
Senator Richardson protested
against whal he termed Governor Sis-'
ton s invasion of tne responsibility In
putting it up to the legislature. The
governor should have used his au
thority and settled It, said he.
Senator McNeil demanded of the
committee of Governor Slaton lacked
courage to handle the question.
"If he didn't have the courage, he
ought to quit the governor's office."
said Senator Perry .

Mrs. Elois Dennis Left N. 0.
on Day Telegram Was Sent
From Frisco. Both Typed on
Same Machine.
Atlanta—The Journal prints the sol
s olio wing today: Mrs. Elols Dennl*
pu߻ed El Pa*o, Tex., on her way to
San Francisco, Ca:. on a ticket bought
at New Orleans from the Southern
Pacific railroad June 26.
Thla very Important Information
came to The Journal Frlnday from Its
New Orleans correspondent.
It lent color to the “death letter’’
statement that Mrs. Dennis had killed
her sister Beatrice Nelms In New Or
leans and gone on to San Francisco to
kill her brother Marshall.
Hot on this new clue the Texas de
tectives and Southern Pacific inves
tigators are working with the news
paper men, Elks and Shriners of the
southwestern country.
Whether Mrs. Dennis was alone is
a question soon to be answered.
Whether she arrived in San Fran
cisco, the destination fixed by her
ticket, is another question unanswer
ed yet.
At any rate the Information now at
hand shows that Mrs. Dennis did leave
New Orleans and go a considerable
portion of the way toward San Fran
cisco—verifying in i measure the
gruesome contents of the “death let
ter.” . ...
Same Typewriter Used.
The discovery of a very close resem
blance between the characteristics of
the typewritten "death letter’’ from
San Francisco and the typewritten 'L,.
and P.' telgram from New Orleans
led Friday to the conclusion by H. M.
Ashe that they were written on the
same machine.
Mr. Ashe is head of the realty firm
bearing his name, in the Healey
building. For years he dealt in type
writers and typewriter supplies, in
Atlanta, and is recognized as an ex
pert, having been called in court trials
for testimony in that capacity.
Ashe made a long and minute
examination of the two papers, con
cluding first that they were written
at least by the same model machine,
and then that they were written by
the identical machine. His examina
tion was conducted with aid of a mic
roscope. numerious samples of type
writer styles of all makes and models,
and his own long experience.
“Both papers were written on a
Remington Model 10 or 6,” said he,
“and both were written on the identi
cal machine.
How He Knows.
“There is a peculiarity, a defect in
the small letter ‘o,’ appearing in both
writings. There arc other peculiari
ties noticeable in both.
“The telegram was written with a
new purp'e ribbon in the machine, by
some one who was fairly well trained
,In the use of the typewriter. The let
ter was written with an old black
non-copying ribbon in the same ma
chine, apparently by some one else not
so conversant with the keyboard.
“There are certain styles of letter,
such as the 'g.' ‘n,’ *y,’ and ‘j’ that are
found on no machine save the Rem
ington Model 10 or 6. The machine
was in good repair.”
This conclusion by a recognized au
thority, that the two very important
documents bearing on the mystery,
mailed from widely different points,
were in fact written on tne same ma
chine, has thrown additional light on
the big problem and may lead to clues
as to the machine itself, its present
wherabouts, its owner and its trav
els.
