CONLEY TOGO

COUNSEL
There's Not a Ruling in Law
That Would Apply Against
Him." Says Attorney.

There is 10 law 10 convict Jim
Conley, and he will go free"
This statement was made by W
M. Smith, attorney for Conley, the
Frank witness and confessed access

Mary Phagan, Wednesday, as the ne
gro sat in an ante-room to Judge
Ben HIS courtroom awaiting trial

Contrary 10 expectations, Attorney
Smith declared that Conley would
plead not guilty to both charges It
had been thought that the negro
would admit the misdemeanor count

Conley was not placed on trial Wed
nesday as was expected. For the past
two days the negro has been held in
the bull pen" at the courthouse with
the expectancy Of being called by So
licitor Dorsey. Court recessed Wed
nesday, however, without his case be-
ing called.
In the event a plea of not guilty is
adhered to, the case will be forced to
ra 5ufy.trfal IN all probability. which is
expected to cause further delay.
Attorney Smith refused to discuss
the technicalities of the case against
his client but persisted that there
was no case against him. Referring
to the negros admissions to compile
ity in the Phagan murder on the wit
ness stand when he appeared as the
star witness against Leo NJ Frank,
Smith answered:
No Ruling Hits Conley, He Says.
We'll, you search the lawbooks and
see if you can find any ruling that
would apply against Conley. | will

BILE"
Two indictments were found
against Conley by the Fulton County
Grand jury. Both charged him with
being accessory after the fact, but
one Of the indictments involved only
a misdemeanor while the other cor
stituted a felony.
A fine point or law IS involved
in the two indictments. Conley, on
his own confessions, was guilty Of
the msdemeanor by hiding the
knowledge Of the crime from the Of
ficers until he made his admission 20
the detectives some three weeks afta:
the Phagan girl was slain.
The felony Indictment presupposes
that Conley did hide, harbor or con-
ceal" the perpetrator Of the crime
from the officers OF the law. Th,
question arises as to whether Con-
ley, by shielding Frank, as he savs
he did, was guilty Of the felony in
the meaning OF the law.
ConIsy Still Jaunty.
Ia the event that Conley il con
victed on one or both of the charges
and Frank is given new trial and
acquitted, the anomalous situation

Georgia Informed Contest Must
Be Played on Grant Field or
Not at All, Report,

Athletic circles were stirred
Wednesday by reports that the
ootball game between Tech and
Georgia was about to be called
IF on account of the controversy
over the scene of the battle.
The reports set forth that Tech
athletic authorities had sent to
the Georgia representatives a
message saying the game should
be played at Grant Field or not
at all.
No reply, it was said, had been re-
eiyed from Georgia up to a late hour.
But it was the opinion that Georgia
would never yield in her determine
ion to have the game played at Ponce
MeLeou Park.
Efforts by The Georgian by use of
he telephone to gain an inkling OF
ne Georgia authorities position or
heir reception of the ultimatum said
o have been issued by Tech, failed to
ally fears that the game would not be
1.aTed, but the hint was dropped that
he matter was being given very Sc
ous consideration.

ne S. /. A. A on charges of profess
,tonalisrn, a merry war between the
University Of Georgia and the Geor-
sia School Of Technology teams is
about to break forth with 8 thun-
ferrous echo.
Certain Tech men declare Georgia
nooters were behind the move where
Dy Preas was ruled out.
In turn, Tech men are endeavorlns
0 unearth professional charges
sgainst Georgia players.
Charges Already Made.
One of Atlanta's biggest business
men, a former Tech student to-day
declared that Tiny" Henderson,
Georgia's massive tackle, played pro-
'eSsionaI baseball in Cordele within
he last year and that he hoped to
nave affidavits to prove it in time TO
nave Henderson ruled out Of Satur-
days same at Grant Field,
This Techite also gave out the in
formation that Tech alumni were
norking on reports to the effect that
Doth Paddock and Conklin were in
ouced financially to return to the
Athens University this fall after
10Th had announced they were
trough with their studies and had
inferred business, Conklin here in At
anita and Paddock in Brooklyn.
Georgia Men Make Denial.
on the other hand, Georgia men
declare that they had absolutely
nothing to do with the Preas case.
They claim that the S. l. A. a. re-
alyed all their information concern
ng the big Yellow Jacket player from
.oIonei Bingham, owner Of the Blng-
nam School, in Asheville,
Athletic relations between Georgia
and Tech have been strained for
some time, but with the barring 81
praas by the S. I. A. A. there is no
nance of reconciliation.
War to the bitter end has been
aeclared by Tech men.
Feeling over the Preas matter is
inning so high this afternoon thai
NJ is possible that the Tech Georgia
game will not be played at all.
Tech has issued an ultimatum thai
ne game will be- fought at Grant

sSued an ultimatum that it will be
played at Ponce DeLeon or nowhere
And neither side will give in to the

THE saloon can not produce one

WOULD ADJOURN AFTER TARIFF

Washington, July 30.-Republi-
can senators made 1t clear today
they do not propose to hasten con-
sideration of the tariff bill IT. the
president and Democratic leaders
are going to insist upon the enact
ment of currency legislation at this
session. Senator Gallinger declar-
ed the Republicans we're in no tenn
per to be forced, and Senator Lodge
insisted that assurances of pro-
longed hot summer session would
not be conducive to fastening tariff
action.
Discussion on this point arose
when Senator Gallinger sought In
formation as to the intent of the
Democrats. Senator Simmons said
he hoped that the Republicans were
not making threats to purposely de-
lay passage of the tariff, which all
business interests wanted settled
speedily Republican senators as
sured him that they were making
no threats, but that it was bound
to follow that there would be NO
haste with the tariff unless an early
adjournment should be the induce
ment therefor.
Senator Gallinger said that read
ing in morning papers every day
that the president would insist on
holding congress here to enact cur
rency legislation would not speed
up action on the tariff. Senator
Lodge added that it was most UNI
wise to demand action on such i'm
portant legislation as the currency !

More Money FROM Fees and Bigger
Taxes.
APPROPRIATIONS BIGGEST EVER
Levy Reduced Perhaps, But More
Money viii he Raised--One
and y Fourth Million
From Fees.

Topeka. July S0.-The Democratic
administration is not going TO b
able to make much OF a showing Of
reducing taxes in Kansas this year
With arrangements made by laws
passed by the 1918 legislature to col
lect a larger amount Of fees than
Kansas has ever collected 1t is necs
essary to raise as much money by
taxation this year as last year.
The state tax commission is MAX
ing up the figures for the tax lev
les for this year and the levy must
raise three and third million dol
lars. Last year the levy raised ST.
100000. The amount to be raised
this year is little larger. The APP
preparations for the present year ex-
coed $4,000, 900, the largest amount
ever appropriated from any single
year in Kansas. It is figured that
the sand royalty law. the corpora
tlOu lax law, Iuc mOlOI Car AAC0uoobp
the insurance fees, charter fees and
other fees collected by the different
win amount to about
a million and quarter dollars. The
rest must be raised by taxes.
1t is not likely that there will be
any increase in the total levy made
by the state. In fact, the levy may
be slightly lower. 1t was IL mills
last year and may be only IL mill
this year. But the fact remains
that just as much money must be
raised by taxes this year as, during |
The last year of the Republican ad-
and in face of the fact

ally to raise fees and avoid the nee
sssity of putting the direct tax SO
