Atlanta, April 4.-Lewis E. Pohl-
man, an Atlanta electrician. has
learned to his sorrow that nobody
will trust him, living or dead-not
even his father-not even an under.
taker. Pohlman has an aged and
wealthy father living at Harrisyille.
Pa. He had quarrelled with the old
gentleman and had exhausted his
credit with him. Pitiful appeals for
financial aid had heen refused by the
stern parent. Then young PaIllman
hit upon an idea. He borrowed fifty
cens, got him a Western Union Tele.
g1Wt blank. and wired as follows:
Your son Lewis has just died Of
pneumonia at the Grady hospital,
here. His last words were to cali
down blessings on your head. Please
send $50 for funeral expenses"
This brilliant message the Young
man signed with the fictitious name
of &c. A. Carnes."
Alas, the father was no more in
cllned to trust his son living than
dead. Instead of sending the money
to Carnes, he wired it to a local nm
dertaker. The corpse went there TO
collect it, and was promptly arrested.

DENIES DARROW
WAS IMPLICATED
Detective Franklin on Trial
in Bribery Case.

Los Angeles, Cal. Dec. I.-After SEN
sational testimony to-day, in which the
name Of Clarence Darrow was mentioned
in connection with the payment of bribes
to jurors and prospective jurors in the
trial of James B. Mcnamara, Bert H.
Franklin, the detective under arrest for
bribery, issued a statement denying that
the Chicago attorney was in any way
implicated.
1t is the first statement that Franklin
has made, and it came after the pre-
liminary hearing before Township Justice
William Young had ended and Franklin
was held to the Superior Court for trial
The statement was called out when
Robert F. Balm, sworn juror in the Nc
Namara case, testified that Franklin had
told him when arranging for the bribe
that was paid to him, that Darrow had
given Franklin $4,000 ito use
Earlier in the day George n. Lock-
wood, the man who accepted a bribe
after informing the district attorney
that he had been approached, testified
that Franklin had said that he would
see Clarence Darrow to arrange some
satisfactory payment Of the money prom
was informed that Franklin promised to
bring the big fellow out to see him
he meant Darrow. Franklin, he said,
afterward asserted he had referred to
c. E. White. the man selected to hold
the money until Lockwood was qualified
and the jury had returned Its verdict.
Il have not said anything about this
case" said Franklin, after the hearing
ended. Il know enough to keep my mouth
shut about my own affairs. But this is
different, and I've got just one thing I
want to say. When these fellows bring
into this case the name Of man who is
innocent, I'm not going to sit by and
hear it without putting in word, and
want to say that whoever says I ever
mentioned the name Of Clarence Darrow
in connection with such a matter, tells
lie. Neither did I ever mention his
having given me $4,000. Those two men
lied. may be guilty of everything I'm
charged with, but I'm no damned fool"
Darrow was told of the statement, and
he denied any connection in any way
with the bribery case.
Henry T. Gage defended Franklin. He
offered no testimony when the State
rested, and Justice Young bound Frank
lin over to the Superior Court for trial.
Bail was left at $4,000 cash, and the
money previously furnished was ac-
cepted.
The information against Franklin, un-
der the statutes, must be filed within
thirty days, after which the case will
be assigned to some department for
trial.

dates the final few days will be memo
rable in the annals or contest history.
Such untiring energy and activity can
not fail to produce splendid results The
total vote polled at the close OF the con-

the wtsest of campaign managers and
candidates.
1t is impossible ito estimate what the
final vote will be, for each candidate
has learned the value of a judiciOus
silence as to what the actual result of
their efforts, although they are united
in their expression OF satisfaction at
the results they have achieved.
The final outcome will be awaited with
an anxious expectancy by the candidates

MANY SPILLS IN
SIX-DAY GRIND
Plenty of Spirit Is Shown by
the Riders.

New York, Dec. 11-Spectators at the
six-day bike race in Madison Square Gar
den witnessed some lively sprinting to-
day and some thrilling spills. The worst
of the latter was due to the tire coming
of Lorenz's wheel. He was thrown and
slid along the track for about twenty
feet. Before John Bedell could steer his
wheel out Of the way, he, too. was
thrown. 1t was thought for a time that
Lorenz was seriously hurt, but after be-
ing attended by the physician the rider
went to his dressing room for a rest.
All the contestants aemed this evening
in better spirits and condition than at
the start OF the race.
The first twelve hours OF the race saw
many sensational sprints. The fast rid
ing was done most Of the time by the
foreigners, but Kramer, Root, and Moran
all had their share in It. A sprint started
during the morning by Fred Hill and then
taken up by his partner, Eddie Root, had
netted the team three-quarters Of lap
when the sprint was stopped by the OFF,
cials because Jimmy Moran punctured a
tire As a result of the efforts of the
teams to gain a lap, the riders were at
one time slightly ahead Of the record.

RETIREMENT PLAN
SECURES SUPPORT
C. of C. Will Back Teachers
Pension System.

Demanding a liberal teachers retire
ment plan as the nucleus of an adequate
school administration. denOuncing the
present system in vogue in the District
of Columbia and coming strongly to the
fore as the exponent of a retirement law
similar to the one used in the Nebraska
schools, DR.. William NJ. Davidson, super
intendant of the public scholastic system
of Washington, in an address last night,
secured at least the tentative support of
the public school committee of the Wash
ington Chamber of Commerce.
Dr. Davidson proposes the introduction
of a bill in Congress, similar to the Ne
braska retirement plan, which he outlined
to the members OF the school committee
Of the Chamber. At the close of his talk,
comment indicated a favorable sentiment
among the committee members, and Capt
James F. Oyster, president of the Cham
Der of Commerce, told them he would
circulate copies of the teachers retire
ent bill now in Congress, and pledge the
support of the Chamber of Commerce
to any plan for the betterment of the
| teachers.
Dr. Davidson congratulated the board
of education on its success in securing
and maintaining a high standard of
scholarship in the public schools, partic-
ularly in the teachers Normal School.
He also declared his intention to keep
! public-school appointment free from the
| stigma of outside influence, and his will
inEness to cooperate with the Washing
| ton Chamber of Commerce to attain this
| end.
In outlining the teachers retirement
plan, he drew a vivid word picture OF
the old teacher leaving the service, worn
out and practically penniless, leaving be-
hind a high example of citizenship in the
training of youth, but the victim of a
| brutal system OF dismissal and retire
ment.
