IN SIN CLING ROW
Contest Winner "0utIaWed" by
Convention When 1t Goes to
Court for Prize.

The Capitol View singing class,
which was awarded the prize a re-
cent contest of the Atlanta Union con-
vention of singing classes. and which
has taken out a possessory warrant in
Justice Ridley's court, has been steam
rollered" out of the convention. 1t
finds itself in the position of not hav-
ing the banner, nor even having a
chance to win it in another contest
The entire fight hinges about wom-
an, Mrs P. H Jackson, 256 Lee street.
West End. She was one of the judges
in the contest and the seven losing
classes have filed claim with the con-
vention that she made and sealed her
decision before the classes finished
their songs and that she never even
listened to the efforts,
Temple Baptist class has a strong
kick coming because Mrs. Jackson
awarded them only five points, out of a
possible twenty, on their selection of
"The Heavens Are Telling" from
Haydn's Creation"
The fateful contest was held July II
at Temple Baptist church and the con-
testants We're to be judged on selec-
ton. harmony. time, articulation and
expression The other two judges were
Mrs. George Nealy, Of 1877 East Fair
street, and l.. Comes, an out of-town
man. Their award of the beautiful
satin banner to Capitol View class
caused a protest from the other seven
contestants, who registered kick be-
fore the convention.
The decision was held up and after
several warm sessions Sunday the con-
vention declared mo contest" and or
dered the banner returned to the for
mer holders of it, the Ponders avenue
class Then when the Capitol View
crowd refused to abide by this decision
vote was taken and they found them
selves no longer members of the con-
vention.
They at once took out a possessory
warrant in the justice court and will
make fight to get what they claim
was awarded them.
The losing classes are Happy Unity,
North Atlanta, Ponders avenue, Lake
wood Heights, RehObeth, Temple Bap

has been fully paid for, is gathering

GAMBLING GRAF 7
TALE WRITTEN
BY ROSE
Document Accusing Policeman
Becker in New York Scandal
Contains 10000 Words.

NEW YORK. Aug, with Detec-
tive William J. Burns and his corps Of
sleuths working to substantiate the
charges in the 10000 word alleged eX-
pose of Lieutenant Charles A. Becker's
completely in the murder of Herman
Rosenthal and general graft alliance
with the underworld, completed by
Jack Rose last night, preparations
were made today to arraign the &C
cused lieutenant for the third time on
the charge Of procuring the murder OF
the gambler
Former Assistant District Attorney
]. F. Mcintyre, perhaps the most eX-
perienced criminal lawyer in New YORK
TODAY entered into the case as counsel
for Becker and after an early CONFER
ence with the latter in the Tomos
started his machinery in motion in an
endeavor to riddle Roses charges.
It was stated that Detective Burns
some time ago opened 2 gambling house
here with the intention of trapping a
high poIit'cian who was suspected OF
sharing in the tribute levied upon the
underworld. Burns, who arrived IN
this city yesterday from Baltimore de-
MED the story, as also did District At
torney Whitman
Mr.. Whitman said that Burns had
been working on the Rosenthal case
under his guidance and that he mao
full knowledge Of Burns movements
"These positively did not include the
operation Of a gambling house" the
district attorney declared.
Roses Confession Detailed.
Rose handed his confession to Mr.
Whitman last night Just as the latter
was leaving the West Side court pris-
on. where Rose is confined. 1t is writ
ten in ink and covers SO pages of fools
cap paper. Parts Of 1t are at variance
with the earlier statements made by
the gambler. but Rose declares that
the statement Is the absolute truth and
env different statements made earlier
by him were inaccurate.
Rose tells In detail of the method he
alleges Becker adopted in getting evil
dence against gambling houses, the
keepers of which had refused to pay
protection money to his agents. He
tells how these recalcitrants were
brought to terms speedily and of the
amount Of money he collected monthly
More important than anything else
he furnished to District Attorney
whitman the names and addresses of
twelve gambling house proprietors from
whom he alleges he collected sums
ranging fro $500 to $4,000 month, all
Of which, he says, he turned over to
Becker.
Money Paid at Beoker's Home.
These exchanges Of money, Rose al
leges, were made in Becker's home at
West 10th street, In the presence OF
his wife, and frequently in the presence
of servants. The names of several Of
the servants are included in Roses
statement.
But Roses statement is not confined
exclusively to his relations with Becker
as the latter's alleged collector. The
final six pages of the confession are
devoted to a detailed account of his
movements on the night that Herman
Rosenthal was shot to death in front OF
the Metropole hotel.

"Asakuse Temple is dedicated to
the goddess Kwannon, a tiny image
OF gold, about two and half inches
high" writes a traveller in japan. AT
the entrance to the temple grounds on
either side of the immense gate stand
two large and fearful looking figures,
guarding the sacred precincts. Hang
ing outside the wire grating are
number of sandals for their use II
they wish to take walk, and rice Is
sprinkled about. Each worshiper, be-
fore entering the temple, calls at a
small building, and after contributing
a small amount, washes his hands and
rinses his mouth.
I'm front of the main shrine is a
large aperture in the floor, covered
with lattice work, into which the wor-
shipper casts his gift After clapping
his hands to awaken or attract the
attention of the god he kneels, but his
prayer is only brief While there is
one chief shrine, there are many 9TH
ers under the same roof.
zone shrine especially attracted my
attention; it was made of wood, and
quite disfigured and worn through
the constant rubbing Of hands on the
spot corresponding to the afflicted por'
lions of the sufferers bodies"
