TUESDAY AUGUST 18.
Judge Hash R. Broyles
Answers Alex W. Stephens’
Latest Wail About
False Signatures
The article referring to Alex W. Stephens' record as a lawyer
was published in the Atlanta Constitution of August 18, 1912, over the
names of the Campaign Committee of Judge John T. Pendleton, con
sisting of over 300 names of attorneys and other prominent citizens of
Fulton County. Among them were the names of Robt. C. Alston, H. L.
Culberson, James L. Key and E. V. Carter. These four gentlemen now
say that they did not authorize their names to be signed to this article;
but after lapse of two years, during which they were silsent, I think
I was justified in assuming that their names were authorized.
This circular sent out by me is simply a copy of that portion,
of the article which referred directly to Alex W. Stephens’ record as
a lawyer, as a chronic office seeker, and as an endorser of a negro
lawyer. Mr. Stephens has claimed all over Georgia that he was a law
yer of great experience and ability, and has inexcusably slandered
me and my family. To refute these claims and false charges, I have
simply let the people of Georgia know the TRUTH—as concisely stat
ed in this article. This circular distinctly states that it is copied from
the Atlanta Constitution of August 13, 1912.
This article was written and prepared by Hon. J. D. Kilpatrick,
chairman, now of blessed memory; Hon. Chas. T. Hopkins, Hon. C.
T. Ladson and other prominent attorneys of Atlanta. These gentlemen
do not write and publish false statements.
This circular nowise attacks the private or personal
character of Mr. Stephens, but contains only three salient issues:
Ist—As to his ability and experience as a lawyer.
2nd—As to his record as a chronic office-seeker.
3rd—His endorsement of a NEGRO to become a member of the
Bar.
. Th ? on| y point interesting to the people is, “Are the statements
in this circular and original article true?”
I affirm that they are and that every lawyer in Atlanta in his
heart knows that they are true.
Respectfully,
NASH R. BROYLES.

“Hal Chase Case” Being Duplicated
In Camp ot the Brooklyn Dodgers
New York—The “Hal Chase case"
Is being duplicated across the bridge
from here in the camp of the Brook
lyn National League clubs, If talk
that leaks out from conversations
among the players can be believed.
Remember the Hal Chase case?
Chase is the fellow who undermined
George Stallings back in 1910 and
caused the Big Chief to be fired from
the 'management of the New York
Americans, his successor being none
other than Chase himself. It will be
recalled that, later on, after Chase
had proved a failure and had been put
down in the ranks again, Harry Wol
verton became boss of the team. But
Clfase's managing been kept buzzing
In his bonnet and he Is supposed to
■.have used the same tactics as before
'in the effort to make Wolverton seem
a boob.
"Laid Down.”
Everybody knows Chase "laid down
on the Job” at first base and he is
believed also to have lined up his lit
tle clique again to do the same thing.
Then Wolverton was fired when the
Yankees were in the cellar. But Chase
didn't get the job. Frank Chance got
it. Chase inaugurated his same old
tactics. Chance wouldn’t stand for
them and traded Chase to the Chicago
White Sox. There Chase lined up
Third Baseman Harry Lord and oth
ers in his machinations against Jimmy
Callahan. The latter couldn’t help
hearing about it, and let Chase know
that he was familiar with what was
going on. Chase was skating on very
thin ice when he finally jumped to
the Buffalo Federals.
Over in Brooklyn the situation is
is almost the same. First Baseman
Jake Daubert is the one with mana
gerial ambitions. It is known beyond
all doubt that he had his mind on the
job at the head of the Dodgers when
Bill Dahlen was holding it down. It is
certain, however, that he did not "sol
dier on the job” last year, when he
led the league in batting. As a mat
ter of fact, there was no need for
such methods, for the team was such
a weak sister for so many seasons
that Dahlen’s donation was only a
question of time. When Dahlen final
finally was relieved of the leadership
at the end of the season, Daubet
though surely he would get It.
New Leader.
Several months of the off season
had passed by before President Eb
\ bets of the Brooklyn club made any
of the new leader. Ev
erybody thought Daubert would be
the man. But when the announce
ment was made at last, Wilbert Rob
inson, former asistant of John Mc-
Graw with the Giants, was the seleo
tion.
Daubet was piqued. His friends on
the team took his side, and they have
not been giving their best services for
the new manager, with the result that
the club, one which figures on paper
t.o be somewhere among the first four.
Is down in the second division with a
chance of finishing In the cellar. Rob
inson heard of what was occurring
behind his back. The expected thing
would be for him to show up the mal
contents but he did not do it. Instead
he tried to keep it quiet, hoping ha
would be able to win those fellows
around Just by giving them such a
square real they would feel ashamed
of themselves.
The machinations of his employes
finally reached the ears of President
Ebbets. who immediately assured
Robinson of his entire support, and
he even went so far as to sign Robin
son to a new contract covering a per
iod of three extra years, doing this
while the team was right in the depths
of a disastrous slump.
Ths Release.
Shortly after this, Catches Tex
Erwin, one of the Daubert Sympa
thisers, was released outright, and
then a week ago Third Baseman Red
Smith was sold to the Boston Braves
Robinson is now the boss aroud Eb
/oet's field. Absolute authority has
been given him in the administration
of the playing end of the club. And
the players in general understand now
that they will have to hustle or get
out. Robinson, like all other major
leagu«A managers, has been bothered
of eojMprvhls year by the part the
Federw eaguo is playing. He can
not cwrr mand the proper respect un
dsr these conditions. Major league
AsapUa* hM been mors or Isas of a
joke anyway. Players hold Federal
league threats over the heads of their
employers.
Some of the worst offenders in the
Brooklyn club, it Is reported, are
one of the worst evils of the
has been one of the worst evils of the
team, which Is away down in the
standing though it ranks first in bat
ting and second in fielding. One
pitcher in particular who has proved
a bitter disappointment has been giv
ing most of his outside attention to
the Baseball Players' Fraternity and
the Brooklyn Feds. He is Ed Reul
bact, who is a vice-president of Fluc
tuating Dave Fult's union. He was
taken off his hig horse when the club
i obtained waivers on him. Then he came
ito time and pleaded for another
chance which was granted. Ebbets
announced only last week that he had
recalled waivers on Ruelbbach.
Conspiracies.
How much of an active part Daubet
has played in the conspiracies against
Robinson is not known, but suffice it
to say that this crack first baseman,
who led the league In batting last year
and also earned the automobile for
being the most valuable ball player in
the National League that season,
stands no chance at all of receiving
such honors this year. He is without
a doubt the greatest first baseman in
the game when he is trying his level
best. He is playing only a fair game
this season.
A little word of advice,, Jake—re
member how the popular Hal Chase
finally became one of the most de
spised players in baseball, and don’t
gamble away any of your tremendous,
and valuable popularity in the same
manner.

The Prospect of Naval Battle
Between England and Germany
NAVAL STRATEGY OF THE WAR.
The German fleet is evidently hold
ing close to its shore bases where it
can be protected by the batteries of
land fortifications and by approaches
strewn with mines, the location of
which is known to the Germans only.
\\ ith the Kiel canal as an interior
line, the Germans can play hide and
seek, if they choose, passing from the
North Sea into the Baltic and back
again at will.
As Jong as the German fleet is “in
being" it is a menace to England. To
risk its destruction by a fleet nearly
twice its size would obviously be fool
hardy. There are three conceivable
situations which may draw the Ger
mans out. Should the English, in the
effort to force matters or in the de
sire to co-operate with Russia in the
Baltic, be willing to divide their fleet,
by keeping half in the North Sea and
sending the other half around the
Danish peninsula, the Germans, thus
offered an equal combat, might issue
forth from either end of the canal.
If the Mediterranean is cleared, and
the French navy, or a major portion
of it, is released to the support of the
British in the North Sea, the latter
would then have a fleet which, .rough
ly speaking, could be divided in two
and either half be about the equal of
the German fleet as a whole.
But such a move on the part of the
English only needs to be described to
be dismissed. Admiral Jelllcoe will
not divide his fleet so as to give the
Germans an even chance of worsting
one section of it and more than a
chance of slipping past the British
lines one or two fast cruisers which
could terrorize English shipping until
their coal ran short. No advantage
in the Baltic could be worth such a
risk. On the other hand, with the
present possibilities of patrol arid
blaekade, the British fleet can prob
ably keep the Germans effectively
bottled up, the British dreadnoughts
being summoned by their scouts
whenever the Germans threaten to
come out. This apparently means a
protracted stalemate with the Ger
mans occasionally making sorties in
the hope of inflicting injury on a sec
tion of the British fleet, but with
drawing before superior force and not
risking a general engagement. This
wair the situation at Port Arthur be
tween Russian and Japanese until the
fortress was threatened by land. In
short, It is likely to be a long cam
paign of harrassments, the Germans

hoping taht by mines and torpedoes
they can pick off a British dread
nought now and then.
If the war on land should be long
drawn out and Germany should find
herself slowly worn down through
lack of oversea communication and
the means of obtaining supplies, the
kaiser’s fleet might be driven at the
English in the desperate hope that
superior gunnery and handling might
overcome the English superiority of
weight, and numbers. The third sit
uation which might force the Germans
out is the possibility of the Kiel canal
being captured by a land attack. We
