StarNe IL She Wants To

New York, Oct. 20.-Mrs Emmeline
Pankhurst, militant suffragette held at
Ellis Island pending a decision at
Washington on the question of her
deportation, ate a hearty breakfast
this morning.
An official of the steamship line on
which she will be sent back to Europe
if her appeal is denied by the immigra-
ton authorities said today that if Mrs.
Pankhurst refused to eat food pre-
pared for her on board the steamer
that is her business. ''If the English
lady prefers to die, it's her affairs he
said. ~
IF l am deported the ship taking
me back will carry me to my death"
These words carrying veiled threat
of hunger strike" were uttered Sun
day in the immigration detention sta
tion on Ellis Island by Mrs. Pankhurst,
militant suffragette, who arrived here
Saturday on the steamer La Provence
and was ordered deported as an un-
desirable alien.
Mrs. Pankhurst was talking to Mrs.
Harriet Stanton Blatch and several
other woman suffrage leaders who had
been given special permission to visit
her. She is quoted as having said
that, in view of the fact that her sys-
TEN had been undermined by six
hunger strikes" in prisons abroad she
did not believe she would be able to
survive a seventh.

SAYS LEO FRANK
IS NOT GUILTY
MAN NAMED FISHER DECLARES
HE SAW PHAGAN GIRL MUIR
DERED BY MERCHANT.

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 2O.-The arrival
in Atlanta Sunday of man from Bir-
mingham, who claims to have been
witness to the murder of Mary Phagan,
and who alleges that Leo NJ. Frank is
not the guilty man, has stirred the city
as had no other development in the
case since the conviction of the pen
Gil factory superintendent of the bru-
tai crime.
The man gave his name as |. w.
Fisher, and said that he formerly lived
in Atlanta, but that after the crime
he had been offered money to leave
the city and finally. as the result OF
threats, had decided it was better for
him to do so.
Before coming here, he went to Chief
of Police Bodeker, of Birmingham and
told his story. According to Bodeker,
he accused a well-known merchant OF
Atlanta and said that the reason he
| was confessing was that ne had Deen
driven by his conscience to do so and
that he had not done so before because
he had not believed that Frank would
be convicted.
He reached Atlanta early Sunday
morning and managing, through th'
aid of the detectives for the defense
to reach the offices of Luther Rosser
attorney for Frank, in the Grant build
ing, he has been locked in there eve
since. The building is beseiged b

VIII Discuss Currency
Bill With Republicans

ed him to discuss the subject further
with other Republicans.
From the first, it was said, the
President has not been desirous of
making the bill party measure,
though he feels that the Democratic
party will be held responsible for
whatever law is framed. The idea
that Mr.. Wilson was uncompromising-
ly committed to the House bill led
largely to that impression, but with
in the last few days he has made it
known that if the Senate will keep
the main essentials which the admin
istration desires, changes in harmony
with the fundamentals will be ac-
ceptable.
In this spirit the President will con-
fer with Republicans, and he is great
ly encouraged over the possibility of
getting a unanimous report from the
committee. This undoubtedly would
mean that debate on the floor of the
Senate will be much shorter than was
the case with the tariff.
The President will discuss with Rep
resentative Underwood, majority lead
er, today, exactly what should be done
by the House while the Senate com
mittee is dealing with the currency
Mr.. Underwood has called attention
to the restlessness of House members
and recent conferences with Repub
licans and Democrats on the Senate
committee have given the President
the basis for a reply on just what pro
gram can be followed.

then became the ward of the nation. |
He still needs to be fitted for citizen
ship. He needs a vitalizing religion.
He needs education, but not so much
trying to give him-the arts and sci
ences, the classics and romance, Ian
guages and music and theology. He
needs instruction in honor, righteous
ness, thrift, truth and purity more
than he needs the ballot"
Bishop Nelson believes the negro
capable of great development.
Bishop Gailor agreed that the sud
den enfranchisement of the negro
was a great mistake. But after all
our troubles" he said, I'VE are begin
ming to see daylight, and it must be
said for the negro that his progress
has justified all that has been done
for him. In thirty-five years the per
centage of illiteracy has decreased
from 70 per cent to 27.5 per cent. 1t
is estimated that today the total
wealth of the negro population OF the
United States approximates $500, 0,000,-
600. But there is another side to the
picture. the moral progress of the
negro has not at all been proportion
ate to his progress in book learning
and ability to acquire property. More
than anything else in the world the
negro needs religion"
There is hope, however. said Bishop
Gailor. in the fact, that the negro is
most susceptible to the religious ap-
peal.
Bishop and clergymen attending the
general convention of the Protestant
Episcopal Church occupied pulpits OF
the city's churches Sunday.

and Currency Committee with view
toward making the pending currency
bill a non-partisan measure will be

of seventeen Soldiers killed in the
wreck of a troop train on the Mobile
& Ohio road near Buckatunna, Miss,
yesterday were brought here this
morning. A total Of seventy-one,
many of them seriously hurt, are in
local hospitals.
So badly mangled were many of the
bodies that the scene at the morgue
resembled more a battlefield than a
death house, parts of them being be-
ing strewn about on the floor and
tables.
Plunging through a trestle, troop
train on the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
carried twenty-six soldiers to their
death and injured nearly one hundred
others near State Line, Miss, Sunday
afternoon. The engine crossed the
bridge safely, but the tender, baggage
car and three coaches broke through
and fell TWENTY-FIVE feet to the ravine
below.
Cries of passengers crushed in the
debris and the groans Of the dying

those only slightly hurt went to theil
rescue and worked desperately tC
