who said that they should be COM
PEELED to devote their entire time to
the duties Of their Offices.

both approved Of the suggestion made
by Mr. Clubs and said that the COM
missioners should not be allowed to
engage actively in any other business
or be allowed to receive a salary for
any other work which they might per-
form.
Alderman Meyer, the other member
o. the committee, did not approve of
the idea of compelling a commissioner

ness which they could attend to be-
tween the hours Of to a. m. and
from .. m. to as late as they may
see fit.

der at 1880 O'CLOCK. adjourned at 10, a

with the regular league games tomor-
row night, when they will hold the first

The Basketball Games.
The games scheduled for tomorrow
night are the Recalls VS.. Sharks and
Pirates VS.. Whitmans. The games last
week were very close and interesting
and those tomorrow should be even
more so. The race for the pennant is
very close and interest is at fever heat.
To the satisfaction of their opponents
the RECALLS lost their first game this
season last week, the Whitmans de-
feating them by one point.
This leaves the Pirates and Recalls
tied for first place, while the Whitmans
and Sharks rank in the order named.
The Sharks surprised every one by
walloping the champion Pirates last
week. their Improvement being very
marked.
This week the games promise to be
even more close and sensational. The
boys have all agreed that the presence
OF the fair SEX is both necessary and
possible and they promise to see that
they get there in large numbers to-
morrow.

Solicitor Dorsey left for his coun-

Solicitor General Hugh NJ Dorsey
/ will ask the courts to hold the negro
as a material witness for the State,

day to take no chances on so impor-

troll, as he feared the negro might
| get beyond the jurisdiction of the
courts IL given his liberty.
Attorney Chappell and Solicitor
Dorsey had agreed, when the negro
was committed to jail, to keep him
there until the trial. Chappell mott
| fed Dorsey Wednesday that he
! wished to withdraw from the agree
ment and get his client freed.
Chief Discounts Conley Rumor.
The announcement Friday that the
| defense had secured an important and
damaging affidavit that connected the
States star witness, Jim Conley, more
directly with the crime created a
sensation in the ranks of the prosecu-
tion
Chief of Detectives Newport A.
Lanford announced that every move
ment Of the negro on the day of the
crime had been checked up" and
that 1t was a matter of impossibility
to find anything more damaging
against him than his admission that
he helped dispose of the body at the
request of Frank.
In commenting on the affidavit Sc
cured at the office of Joseph II. Lea
Witt Thursday the attorney said that
1t would be almost impossible for the
prosecution to break down any state
ment that was made in the affidavit
when the witness was placed on the
stand.
Calls Evidence Vital.
He said the witness was a citizen
Of high standing and would be one Of
the most important for the defense Of
Frank.
Attorney Leayitt said that this par
ticular affidavit was one of more than
90 that had been recently secured that
dealt almost exclusively with the
movements of the negro on the day
Of the murder. While he would not
comment at any length he intimated
that the defense had been able to es-
tablish conclusively the exact time
Conley entered and left the factory.
He also intimated that affidavitG
had been secured that would show
what time Monteen Slower entered
and left the factory and be able to
prove she left before Mary Phagan's
car reached the vicinity Of the pencil
| factory.

and answered to the names of Sen

the press gallery notes on the pro-

One youngster introduced a bill
that almost broke up the meeting. II
bore the title ITO prohibit Senators
from using firewater, and for other
purposes" Another was entitled "a
bill to relieve a bull pup" 1t was
duly refer ed to the committee on
dog fights.
The opposition to these measures
was led by lad named Mccoy and
he continued his leadership with
great zest until a resolution was Of
ferred directing the Sergeant-a at

The effectiveness of this parlia-
