DIR. Harris, who testified Friday. swore
the girl was killed about half an hour
after she had eaten lunch and left home
to go TO the factory to get her money
from Frank. basing this opinion on un-
digested cabbage found in her stomach.
To. onse: this testimony Franks lawyers.
IN cross-examining DR.. Hurt. secured
from him the admission that cabbage is
difficult to digest. and that under some
circumstances 1t might require three and
one-half hours before the process of di-
gestion was complete.
Helen Ferguson, a friend of Mary
Phagan. testified Frank refused to let
her have Mary Phagan's pay Friday aft
ernoon. the day prior to the murder. and
that she was told Mary would have to

can, and Bernard Macdonald. an Eng

that women who refuse to wear tight
skirts are obliged to do without new

MAY RENEW 4-DAY ARMISTICE.
Allies Dema nds on Bulgaria Leave
Her Small Profits from War.

London, Aug. 2-Dispatches from
Bucharest today said that the Balkan
peace delegates there were disposed to
renew the five days armistice, as all
the belligerents are almost exhausted.
and the peace conference bids fair to be
long -drawn-out.
The allies in their demands presented
to the conference demand territory that
would leave Bulgaria with a coast line
on the Aegean of only thirty miles. They
also demand an indemnity. Roumania
also demands territory from Bulgaria.
Should the terms be accepted Bulgaria
will emerge from two wars lasting ten
months poorer in purse and but little
larger in area than when she went into
them.
A report from st. Petersburg today said
that an official denial had been issued
refuting the rumors that the Czar in
tended taking steps against Turkey. II
was stated that Russia wants to avoid
any isolated attempts to coerce the
Turks.

NEW ORLEANS BLACKMAu
CHARGES ARE DISMISSED

The Department of Justice last night re-
ceived a dispatch from New Orleans
which stated that the charge of black
mail against G. Raymond Matthews,
special agent of the Department OF jus
tice, had been dismissed. ]. L. Mott. Mat
thews' assistant. who was arrested with
him. also was released.
The charges preferred against the men
had their source in the arrest OF EmInan-
uel Castillo Brito, former Governor OF
the State of Campeche, Mexico, on the
charge of murder. The State Depart
ment had received a complaint made by
members of the Mexican government
through the Mexican Embassy in WASH
ington. After an examination Of the pa
pers in the case, eNtradition papers were
issued and a request made by the State
Department upon the Department Of JUS
tice TO arrest Brito upon his arrival at
New Orleans.
In the name Of the Attorney General
a telegram was sent to Special Agent
Matthews who forwarded it to Brito by
a wealthy Mexican. Fernandez Astoaga'
who is said to be a member of the Mexi-
can Junta at New Orleans. Just what
happened is not made clear by the re-
ports received in Washington Brito
claimed that Matthews offered to let him
20 IL IL pay WV
thews denied. but he accepted 500 in
marked money and claimed that an at
tempt vas made to bribe him.
Department of Justice officials are IN
clined to think that Matthews story Is
true. He has enjoyed a good reputation
heretofore His work has been satis-
factory to the department Upon his
arrest he made voluntary surrender OF
the marked bills.
Both the State Department and the
Department of Justice are well acquaint-
ed with conditions now existing in the
Mexican colony in New Orleans. Graft,
grand and petty. is running riot, and
such of the citizens of the Southern
republic as are not intimately allied.
either with the Federalist group or the
revolutary junta, are engaged in prey
ing upon both sides. And little reli-
ance is placed in any statements ema-
mating from any of the factions there
represented.
Little of nothing is known as to the
facts Of the killing upon which is based
the murder charge against Brito. The
belief prevails that the killing claimed
was in the course Of some of the inter-
changes between the Federalist and
revolutionary. and that it is entirely OF
a political character. Brito will be held
by the United States authorities, pend
ing an investigation of the exact status
of the case of the Federal government
Of Mexico against him.

DEBATE ON Three
SCHEDULES ENDS
Members of Senate Discuss
Earthenware, Glass,
and Wood.
WALSH DEFENDS BILL
Denies that Any Provision Of Measure
Would Hurt Interests of Farm
ers in the West.
WALSH DEFENDS BILL

In the Senate yesterday the schedules
comprising earths. earthenware, and
glassware, schedule B, and wool ana
nrNnufa ctures of wood, schedule IL, were
completed in the Committee OF the Nhoie
review of the pending tariff bill An
amendment offered by Senator Jones OF
Washington, providing for countervail-
ing duty on lime. TO be incorporated In
the bill as balance to the existing
Canadian duty on American lime. was
debated for more than an hour. 1t was
finally defeated by vote of 50 to 81.
An amendment als6 was offered pro-
, viding that the rate of duty on tele-
rraph poles be removed. but this. too,
met defeat.
The Senate has now passed upon sched-
ules A, B, and d. Schedule c. the metal
schedule, has been laid aside and will
be taken up Monday. The absence of
Senators Penrose and Oliver of Pennsyl-
varia and Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts was presented as the excuse for
nonaction on the metal schedule at this
time.
A defense of the agricultural schedule
of the bill, as framed by the Senate
Finance Committee and approved by the
Democratic caucus, was made in the
Senate yesterday by Senator Walsh of
Montana. Senator Walsh hitherto has
been counted as one of the Democrats
who strongly opposed some of the re-
ductions affecting farm products, par
ticularly the provision of the bill which
would place wool on the free list. He
has announced several times that he be-
lieved a revenue tariff on wool should
be imposed by the Democrats.
Importance Overestimated.
THE duty on wool has assumed an
Importance politically out of all proper
tion to the significance of the industry
in the economy of the nation" said
Senator Walsh yesterday. The risk of
tariff legislation has been used to bear
prices to such an extent during the last
year that many well-informed growers
insist that prices now are on a free wool
basis
Senator Walsh said that prices. how
ever, We're at about the average for the
last ten years. and or ) cents higher
than when he went into the business in
1903. Senator Walsh's speech was largely
a reply to the arguments made by Sena-
tor McCumber of North Dakota. who
predicted great disaster to the farmers
of the country if the Democratic agri-
cultural schedule was put into effect.
Taking up farming conditions in his own
State, Senator Walsh declared that they
have improved rapidly in recent years,
and that the increases in the wheat.
barley, oats, and fiaxseed crops have
been enormous.
Farming pays in Montana, he said. As
a proof that the farmers are not excited
over the pending tariff bill. Senator
Walsh quoted Senator Crawford's state
ment before the Lobby Investigating
Committee to the effect that the farmers
of South Dakota seemed to be taking
little interest in it. The cause of this at
titude on the part OF the farmers was
the fact that the Democrats are making
a general revision of the tariff. lowering
duties upon many manufactured articles
which the farmer has to buy.

BANKERS DENY
KADOO charge
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

agitation for amendment OF the admin
istration banking bill. Word was re-
ceived here yesterday that. a mass meet
ing is to be held in South Carolina to
give public Endorsement of the Ragsdale-
Henry amendments, which provided for
the issuance Of currency on cotton. corn.
and wheat held IN warehouses. These
amendments were defeated in the House
committee.
Movement Has support.
House leaders declare that the move
ment for the issuance Of currency on
cotton and other agricultural staples Is
la serious one. and should be considered.
They fear that 1t will have the support
of every Democrat from the cotton
States. Corn and wheat were included
in the Ragsdale-Henry amendments,
with a view to inviting support from
radical Republicans and Progressives
from the West and Southwest Whether
the amendments have made any impress
sion on members from the West and
Southwest has not been developed.
The issue will be fought out in the
Democratic caucus and 1t is believed to
be certain that whatever the action Of
the caucus. that the Ragsdale-Henry
amendments will be offered in the House
unless a special rule barring such
amendments are provided.
While the administration bill has been
completed SO far as the Democrats of
the House are concerned. the members
will meet tomorrow to give final ap-
proval to the bill. The party caucus to
consider the administration bill will be
held on Monday. August H. In the
meantime. the leaders will do some mis-
sionary work with view to getting
their followers in order to make GER
tain that the bill shall be given party
approval! in accordance with the wishes
Of President Wilson.
As an indication Of the favorable ac-
ceptance by the big bankers of the
country of Secretary McAdoo's pro-
possl to distribute $50. 1000. 600 to move
the crops, the Treasury Department
yesterday made public number of
congratulatory messages from some of
the biggest bankers and business men
in the country.
They were from the president Of the
Merchants and Mechanics National
Bank of Baltimore, the largest bank
south of the Mason and Dixon line: the
president OF the Continental and Com
mercial National Bank of Chicago. the
largest bank in the West: a New York
financier having extensive interests in
the West and South, and a number of
others.
With the broad assertion that panic
will be impossible" IL the administra-
ton currency reform bill is passed.
Senator r. l. Owen of Oklahoma.
chairman of the Senate Committee on
Banking and Currency. yesterday made
public a circular letter. in which he
answers bankers who demand to know
what advantages they will gain from
the bill.

President WITHDRAWS
nomination Of negro
A. E. Patterson's Place as Register Of
the Treasury Given an Indian to
Appease Southern Senators.
G. E. PARKER IS APPOINTED

President Wilson yesterday broke the
tradition of appointing a colored man to
be Register of the Treasury. withdraw
ing the name of Adam Z. Patterson. and
substituting the name of Gabe E. Parker
a Choctaw Indian. now head of the Arm
strong Academy at Tulsa, Okla.
When President Wilson named Patter-
son. an Oklahoma negro, for the posi-
ton. he provoked protest from Southern
Democrats. Senator Gore had previously
recommended the Indian. Senator Hoke
Smith and others told the President that
they would not vote to confirm Patter-
son.
Parker. the new nominee. is Of Indian
blood.
Pattersons letter to President Wilson
declining the nomination follows in part:
In view of recent developments
caused BY my name having been SUBJ
mitted to the United States Senate for
confirmation as Register of the Treas
ury. / beg to request that you withdraw
my nomination FOR that position. l COLI
slider that you have paid me a high
tribute and an honor We'll worth cherish
irS in appointing me Register Of the
United States Treasury. tor which
heartily thank you. / am anxious that
n Spirit OF harmony and scod will exist
between the two races. ana ey taking my
present step 1 believe l will go far
towaru bringing about more friendly
racial feeling.
Much opposition to Patterson's nominal
tion developed in the Senate, Senator
Hoke Smith OF Georgia and ether men,
bers objecting to the nominee. and Pat
.crsons declination relieves the President
o. an embarrassing situation
The rt gister of the Treasury has been 4
negro since back in the Harrison admin
istration. The first colored man to Ecld
the cost was Blanche X. Bruce, who had
been a Senator from Mississippi, who
was appointed shortly after he retired
from the National Legislature in the
early SOS.
The fight may mean that the negroes
will lose all Of the more important Fed
crai appointments under the Wilson ad-
ninistration.
There are several jobs in Washington
that always have been regarded As
plums for colored political workers One
of these is Recorder Of Deeds in the
District of Columbia. The first negro
to hold that office was the famous Fred
erick Douglass. Grover Cleveland. the
last Democratic President before Wood
row Wilson. had a hard tussle with the
Senate over the appointment Of a negro
named Trotter to this Office. The Sem
ate finally forced him to withdraw the
name of Trotter. but Cleveland sent in
the name of another colored man. and
he finally was confirmed. Cleveland
action caused a good deal Of amusement
at the time. and people used to say that
Grover Cleveland had 'renigged' on the
Senate.
Mr. Roosevelt. when he was President,
had a lot of trouble over the color ques-
ton on account Of his appointment Of a
negro collector of the port at Charles
ton S. c. There also was a furry in
the last administration when President
Taft appointed William H. Lewis. a col
ored graduate of Harvard. as Assistant
Attorney General. This was the highest
post officially and socially ever held by
q negro in Washington.
