GRAHAM WILL GIVE Up C0NTICTs
Order AbOlishing Hosiery Mill No.
vember 1 Will be Compiled With
By Man Who Employs 22o Of
the COnYicts.

Anderson, August 17.-Henry w.
Glenn, one of the five directors of the
State penitentiary, stated tonight that
Capt. John NJ. Graham, who holds a
fve-year contract, dated three years
ago, for the labor employed in the
hosiery mill, appeared before the
board at the meeting held in Colum-
bia on last Thursday and announced
that he would submit without any lit
igation to the order abolishing the
mill on November 1, next, at which
time his contract will be cancelled.
Capt. Graham stated that he preferred
to conclude his contract, but that he
thought best to abide by the action of
the legislature and that he would turn
over the 225 convicts employed by him
to the board November 1, without any
effort to retain them.
Director Glenn says that the board
having this assurance from Capt. Gra-
ham discussed the matter of employ
ing the labor now engaged in the ho-
siery mill, but no definite action
would be taken until next Wednesday
week, when an adjourned meeting
would be held in Columbia.
The directors, it is said, are unan-
imous in believing that the State is
receiving as much as it could get for
the labor by the present contract with
Capt. Graham, and at the same time
the labor is being we'll cared for. The
matter of grinding lime by the labor
for agricultural purposes was propos-
ed by Capt Mobley, one Of the direc-
tors, but this suggestion did not meet
with unanimous favor in the board
meeting.
Letters were addressed to all State
penitentiaries to learn what disposi-
ton is made of the convict labor, and
when the board meets next week they
will have replies giving valuable in
formation to guide them to some con-
clusiJn. There are about four hun
dred convicts in the penitentiary now,
and of this number 225 are employed
in the mill. The remaining IT'S are
employed about the penitentiary yard
or in the buildings, while large
number are unable to do any labor at
all. The proposition to send the able
bodied men out on the country roads
does not meet with favor because the
directors say that the apportionment
to each county will not be more than
three or four, move would be unwise
because of these few convicts will be
too heavy on the counties. Then, too,
they think this move would be un-
wise because of these class of !crlmi-
nails now behind the walls Of the pen
itentiary. Capt. Glenn admits that
the directors are up against big pro-
position and he is not willing to make
any prediction as to what will be
done.

Phagan's number was discovered by
one Of the detectives working on the
case.
If the envelope is accepted as gen.
uine evidence, it must reasonably be
construed to mean that the Phagan
girl went to the factory Saturday
noon. visited the office of Frank, and
then descended the stairs to the first
floor. where the negro Conley was
hidden in the darkness.
The finding of the envelope bears
out the theory that the original mo-
tive in the crime was robbery Con-
ley was known to be constantly in
debt and in need of money. OF his
own accord he told of asking Frank
not to permit another negro to take
money out of his salary for a debt
He admittedly was drunk the day
Mary Phagan was killed.
AS the defense has pictured the
probable incidents Of the tragedy,
Conley saw Mary Phagan enter the
factory after her money. In a few
minutes he saw her coming down
stairs with her pay envelope in her
hand or in her mesh bag. The at
tack followed, and the body of the
girl was thrown down the elevator
shaft to the basement.

Miss Hattie Smiths Story and Finding of En-
velope Point Suspicion to Conley.

Two serious setbacks were given
the prosecution in the Phagan muir
der mystery late Wednesday. The
first came in the story told to Solici-
tor Hugh NJ. Dorsey by Miss Matte
Smith. a former employee of the Ma
tional Pencil factory, in which Jim
Conley's statement that he saw her at
the factory at about noon the day Of
the crime was specifically denied. and
further discredited by her assertion
that she saw a negro lounging on the
first floor among the boxes near the
stairway about $50. This goes to
disbrove Conley's story that he did
not reach the factory until after 10
o'clock and serves TO point suspicion
more directly at him.
The second reverse to the theories
Of the prosecution was contained in a
revival OF the story Of the finding OF
part Of Mary Phagan's envelope on
the first floor near the spot where
Conley admits he had been sitting
the afternoon the girl was killed. As
was generally known at the time. one
corner of the envelope bearing Mary

War Secretary Calls Them Use
less, DemoraIizing, Wasteful.
Ready to Fight Congress.

WASHINGTON, July 10-The most
radical and dramatic move in army
administration since Elihu Root reor-
ganized it a decade ago has been de-
termined by Secretary of War CARR
son. He intends to fight Congress on
the question of maintaining 100 or
more absolutely useless" army posts
in the interior.
He intends to withdraw troops from
at least rs per cent of them in the
interest of economy and efficiency,
and next Wednesday will start on a
Ave weeks tour of the posts to crys-
tallize the details of the policy he an
nounced to-day.
Scores "Pork Barrel System.
Secretary Garrison is disguised
with the "wasteful and extravaganza
way in which the army is being con-
Quoted" and lays It all to the system
of maintaining army posts as part Of
the pork barrel into which every
member of Congress dips his fingers.
There are at present 157 posts in the
country, an average of one post 10
every so soldiers In the army. Every
State is represented
The Secretary Of War has made a
preliminary investigation, which has
proved to him that the maintenance
of all these posts, of which he be-
lieves that 100 are unnecessary, is not
only demoralizing to the army, but
the most extravagant way of wasting
Government money ever devised.
Plans to Block Congress.
II Congress obstructs his policy Of
unifying the posts, the Secretary of
War intends to use his executive
powers of Withdrawing troops from
those posts which he believes are un-
necessary He declares he has abso-
lutte power in this direction, and, with
the Presidents consent, could concen.
trate the entire army in Washington
II he so desires. He intends to use
this power in fighting Congress
should the latter determine to nullify
his policies of post concentration.
Mr.. Garrison will be accompanied
by Major General Leonard Wood,
chief of staff, and Quartermaster
General Aleshire.
