Younger Set of Millionaire COL
ony Engages Instructor for
New Dances.

NEWPORT, r. l., June 26.-Dur-
ing the coming season. which gives
promise of being one of the most
brilliant in the history of the fash
ionable colony, fancy dancing will be
one of the popular diversions.
The younger set, of which Mrs.
Lorillard Spencer, Jr.. is a leader, has
engaged an instructor, ard dancing
quite dissimilar to the popular tango
and turkey trot will play an impor-
tant role in the amusements Of the
millionaire cottage colony.
Mrs. Spencer, who is a member of
the Casino Tennis Committee and ac-
tive in the numerous affairs in which
the younger set is interested, is an
accomplished dancer herself, and any
new forms of dancing inaugurated by
her are certain TO be taken up and
followed by the young people of New
port, The colony is awaiting this in
novation with interest
Mrs. Spencer won particular ad-
miration from society when she
danced at the big benefit of the girls
branch of the Public School Athletic
League, given at the Waldorf in New
York last February. Her artistic
Swedish dances in costume won her
a tremendous ovation and three times
she was asked to repeat them.

BROWN ADVISES
AGAINST ". & A.
EXTENSION
Cost, $2O,OOO,OOO, Too Great to
Be Compatible With States
Policy, Says Message,

Opposition to the extension Of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad to the
sea was expressed IN a message sent
by Governor Brown to the Legisla-
ture. The cost of building such a
road, which, it is said, would be about
$2O,OOO,O0O, is the reason given by
Governor Brown for his opposition.
That the rental of such an addition,
if possible to lease it. would not
amount to more than the interest on
the bonds, thus leaving nothing with
which to pay off the PRINCIPAL. is one
of the arguments advanced by him
against the building Of the road.
Governor Brown suggests that the
State Of Georgia might forever con-
troll its freight rates by obtaining a
concession of land from Tennessee,
giving it a frontage of a mile on the
Tennessee River. A short branch
could be built from the Western and
Atlantic Railroad to the river and
connection made with boats from
Ohio and Mississippi River points.
This, he states. could be done at a
cost of 100000.
That the Governor be authorized to
appoint a commission to investigate
the releasing of the Western and At
lantic is also suggested in the mes
sage.

MAYOR SCORES
HIS ACCUSERS
AS LIARS
Abandons "PoIite Words" in De-
nying Charge That He Opposes
Crematory to Aid Power Co.

Mayor James G. Woodward Thurs
day branded as infamous liars all
persons who persist in attributing his
opposition to the crematory contract
to a desire to help the Georgia Rail-
way and Power Company.
Polite and parliamentary denials Of
the charge that he opposes the crema-
tory because it embraces in its plans
an electrical plant and repeated dis
avowals Of any connection with the
power company have failed to prevent
anonymous charges Of Interior mo-
tives against him. the Mayor said
If they won't take polite language
I'll have to hand it to them more for
chilly" said the Mayor. And he did.
Il have said time and again that the
electrical plant had nothing to do with
my position regarding the crematory,"
the Mayor continued L have nothing
either for or against the electric plant
The power company has fought me,
and / have said time and again that
am not trying to help them. l don't
owe them anything except a fair deal
The situation is this: / want a
contract Independent of the one the
courts enJoined, and l want a water
proof bond to protect the city. l take
II that the papers before me now have
possible loopholes in them. When the
courts enJoined the first contract the
General Council asked the Destructor
Company for a proposition. The prop
osition was made and the General
Council accepted II. This proposition
continually regards the contract Of
1912, which the courts enjoined.
don't see why they can't write out a
contract complete in itself. If a con
tract like this is presented TO me
will sign 1t.
Since have said repeatedly that
this was what I insisted on I see no
grounds for repeating the charges that

power company. Those who do repeat
them are liars, and have no objec-
ton to your printing that"

would sign the contract. and the next

shown has been a stall and a four

said that she arrived there at 1905
and remained about five minutes. She
said that Frank was not in his office
and that she was not able to find
him.
Pitted against the declaration of
the little girl is the statement Of
Frank that he was in his office at the
time. One of the two apparently has
spoken falsely or mistakenly. 1t is
the theory of the State that Mary
Phagdn had preceded Monteen Slower
into the factory; that Frank had at
tackled her probably in the metal
room. and that this is the reason the
Stover girl was unable to find Frank
in his Office when she was in the
building from 1905 to 1910.
The Phagan girl left her home at
1850. She lives in Bellwood and the
ride to town takes more than Is min
utes. The time that she left the car
in the city is fixed by William NJ
Matthews, Motorman No. 1447, of the
Cooper and Hendricks Streets run,
who says that his car arrived at
Broad and Marietta Streets that day
between 1907 and 1910 o'clock.
II Mary Phagan had hurried. she
barely could have got to the factory
by the time the Slower girl was leav-
ing, if this testimony can be relied
upon implicitly. The Slower girls
story falls down utterly. so far as its
value is concerned, therefore, II Mary
Phagan did not come into the factory
until after the Slower girl had left.
