Clay Unmoved As Kin
Beg Him, In Death Cell,
To Tell Them Goodbye

Weeping piteously, Mrs. w H. Whit
aker, only sister of Rober L. Clay,
the wife slayer and alleged maniac
condemned to hang Friday on the Tow
er gallows, stood today before the
barred door of her doomed brothers
cell and pleaded with him to speak to
her-begged for just one word.
Clay sat on his bunk with bowed
head and dropped shoulders, his long
hair falling over his forehead
His emotionless gaze roved about the
cell floor. He did not say word, and
not once did he lift his head with a
glance of recognition.
Beside Mrs Whitaker stood Mrs. j.
A. Clay, sister n-law of the con-
demned man. and she, too. wept. Just
behind the women were j. a. Clay and
]. w. Clay, brothers, who were un
able to control their emotion as they
peered through the bars and Joined the
women in trying to get the doomed
man to speak.
Bob, speak to us. Don't you know
us?" cried the brothers, but Clay main
tanned the silence he has broken but
once since he was imprisoned last May
While she pleaded at the cell door,
a three-year-o old boy, son of Mrs. j. A.
Clay and nephew Of the prisoner, tugged
at the dress of his mother and prattled
of the strange prison sight.
In the event there is no stay in the
plans for the execution Friday, this
probably is the last time the relatives
will see Robert /, CLAW in life
The entire family will appear before
Governor Brown tomorrow morning
and make a last plea to save the
doomed man.

Conferences of
Governors Valuable.

These annual conferences by the
governors Of the states are Of great
value in that they bring the executive
officers Of the states into personal ac-
simultaneously with each other and en-
able them in all subsequent corresponds
ence to have q more intelligent knowl+
edge of respective views and environ
ments than could be the case If they
had never met They enable them to
realize more fully the similarity be-
tween general conditions In the respec-
tive states and wherever there are laws
in one state radically different from
those in others to become advised as
to whether exceptional conditions have
or have not required exceptional laws.
ultimate uniformity of laws, when~
ever practicable, is, of course, the desid-
eratum. as such a status tends morS
and more to unity of that as well aa
unity of interest.
Regarding the defense of mob law
by Governor Blease, of South Carolinas
concerning which you have asked me-
l will state that have not talked with
a single other governor or single other
visitor at the conference who could sea
any call for such remarks.

SMOKE MAKES FOLK
OF ATLANTA DODGE
NEEDED FRESH AIR

Commenting on the ST. emertt of 5,
G. Lindholm, the municipal expert on
health and sanitation that Atlantans
are afraid of fresh air, DR.. Claude A.
Smith, head of the city laboratory Of
hygiene. said today that one of the
main reasons Atlantans kept their
doors and windows closed 80 tightly
was the smoke nuisance.
DR. Smith said 1t was absolutely es-
sential for the human system to have
fresh air to be able to resist diseases,
and that people here did not fully real
lie the need of proper ventilation. But
he said that smoke did as much to keep
fresh air out of offices and homes as
the fear of cold.

PARKING OF AUTOS
TO BE INTRODUCED

The council committee on legislation
will meet tomorrow afternoon at
o'clock to consider an ordinance pro-
hibiting the parking of automobiles on
Peachtree, Whitehall. Hunter and Ala
bama streets. Some members of coun-
ell declare that the central streets ars
too congested to allow automobiles to
DE parked in them.
Not only Is there opposition to the
ordinance in council, but number of
the merchants take the view that 1t
would be bad for the business interests.
All interested citizens are invited to
appear before the committee and give
their arguments.

II will venture to say that there ls
nothing in the constitution of any
American state which encourages or
condones crime of any character. All
states and all laws among civilized peo-
pies have for their object the suppress
sion of crime by the process of law.
-Immediately after Governor Blease
had concluded his speech l arose and
stated that one of the chief factors in
securing my last election was my prom
ise that l would not abuse the pardon
ing power, but, on the contrary, would
see that the process of law in the pun
ishment of criminals who had been
tried In the courts was faithfully up
held. l stated that the executive of no
state had a monopoly of devotion to
the white women of his state or to the
determination to protect them, but that
whatever the crime in Georgia we held
that the criminal must be punished by
the law instead of the mob that Geor-
gia did not have to depend upon mobS
to punish those who violated her laws.

MISS HEPPNER IS HELD FOR PERJURY Held in Connection Witk the Suit Against c. s.
 Funk

Chicago. July l2.-Afiss Aileen. Heppner, the young woman named by Mrs. Jo- sephine Henning as the person who in- auenced her in the alleged conspiracy to iniure Clarence s. Funk, general man. ager of the International Harvester com pany, by means of a suit for damages for alleged alienation of Mrs. Henning' s affections, was held to the grand jury today on a charge of perjury. The bonds of Miss Heppner were fixed by Municipal Judge Newcomer at s5eoO. In her testi- mony in the damage suit Miss Heppner said that on December 20 1909, she had seen MT. Funk and Mrs. Henning enter a room while she was dining with Mrs. Sophia Hoerner and her daughter in the Grand Pacific hotel.
 Mrs Hoerner and her daughter denied they were in Chicago on that day or din- ing with Miss Heppner.
 The court. in holding the young woman to the grand jury, rused against the arr gument of attorneys that the statement of Miss Heppner as to dining with the Hoerners was immaterial.
 No indictments will be returned by the grand jury Investigating the damage suit that was instituted against Clarence $. Funk for alleged alienation of Mrs. Jo- sephine Jennings affections; at least un- til next week, declared States Attorney Wayman today. He said the inquiry was proceeding to determine the genesis of the suit against the harvester machinery manufacturer. After the suit had been dismissed Mrs. Henning, whose husband. John, instituted it, confessed there had been no ground for coupling her name and Funk's.
 Counsel for Funk has declared the suit was aimed at him because of the attitude he took in the Lorimer imbroglio.
