HOUSES elf 7 To
MISS WILSON
DENOUNCED

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O.-Repre-
sentative Gray, of Indiana, created a
sensation in the House by denouncing
his colleagues in that body for pre-
senting five dollars apiece to a fund
the purpose of which is to purchase a
wedding present for Miss Jessie Will
son.
Gray declared members were get
ting too familiar with the Presi-
dents family" and suggested that the
money be turned over to charity
81 think this movement is in bad
taste, lndiscreet and an unwarrant-
House." said Gray. Il do not think
we should tender a trinket to this
lady Most of us are strangers to
her. and it is bad form for us to in
trude"
Gray further suggested that the
House might better take official ac-
ton in the matter by passing a res
olution congratulating Miss Wilson.
No action was taken on the reso-
luton
Gray asserted that he had contrib
uted his IS with the understanding
that it should be devoted to a char
liable purpose, and then added that
Republican Leader James r. Mann
was responsible for the scheme to
give Miss Wilson a wedding present.
II want him to tell us why he did
It," said Gray. Let him speak not as
Republican, but from the standpoint
of Jacksonian economy and Jefferso-
MAN simplicity let him say why we
should do such thing"
Mann made this reply:
After hearing the gentleman from
Indiana, / think II would be hopeless
to try TO put into his soul the ex-
preston which finds itself In the
heart Of every other member Of the
House. Other members do not need
to be told why"

FIND WOMAN
|. Of MYSTERY
IN I RAIN
Richly Dressed Stranger With
Blank Mind Is Being Treated
at Grady Hospital.

A woman, richly dressed and of
handsome appearance, whose mind
has been a blank since her arrival in
Atlanta Wednesday night over an At
lanta and West Point train, has pre-
scented the police department of this
city with one Of the most battling
mysteries which 1t has confronted In
some time, 1t became known Thursday
afternoon.
The woman is being treated at the
Grady Hospital in an effort to restore
her mentality and clear up the mys-
terry of her identification and explain
the peculiar circumstances under
which she came to Atlanta.
At the hospital the patient at in
tervals has broken into speech, how
ever her stories are conflicting. She
gave her name as Miss v. M. McCarty
and said that her home is in Detroit
Mich. Again she murmured that she
had relatives in Atlanta, and men
toned Mr.. Walsh whom she stated
was a wealthy contractor here resid
ing on Peachtree street. Police have
been unable to trace the woman
through any Of her assertions.
|-ssss,zaAo thsrD- citise- ftstifisds---rsssss
Fear that the woman had met with
foul play at some nearby city and
then drugged and placed on an At
lanta- bound train has caused the po-
ice to notify officials Of other cities
to investigate the case. While there
are evidences in the woman's appear
ance which are characteristic Of the
effects Of drugs, still the difficulty be-
.ng experienced by hospital physi-
clans in clearing up her mind would
tend to deny this theory.
The woman's eyes are dilated near
to bursting point, and her extreme
nervousness, physicians declare, show
that she had undergone some highly
5training experience.
Investigation through railway
channels showed that the woman had
boarded a train at Asheville, N. c.,
with ticket for Atlanta. When she
was discovered later the train had
passed through the city and arrived
at Newman. Here railway officials
transferred her to an Atlanta and
West Point train for Atlanta She
was brought into the Terminal Sta
ton at 1855 Wednesday night
DR. R. E. Granting, with Offices in
the Empire Building, was notified of
the strange case and hurried to the
Terminal Station. Attaches of the
station had been unable to get any
information from the woman.

Places Termed "Just Up

Mayor Woodward and members OF
the Council Police Committee are
planning to make a thorough inves-
tigation of all locker clubs In the city
preparatory to the granting of IL
censes for the new year. On account
Of complaints from citizens against d
number-of clubs the inspection prob
ably will be the most rigid that has
been conducted since the licenses
were first granted.
The Police Committee meets Thurs
day afternoon when the matter will
be discussed. Mayor Woodward has
announced that he would make a per-
sonal visit to the clubs complained
about to see just how they are run.
Il have heard some bad things
about these clubs and before any IL

Until this year the number of clubs
that dispensed alcoholic drinks were
rapidly increasing. Council finally
called a halt in the granting Of IL
eenses, and there is hardly an,
chance for anything but a purely So
cial club to get license to sell in
toxicating drinks
There are number of members Of
Council who declare that the halt was
not called soon enough, and that Their,

that are nothing more than upstair

that they are owned by individuals

made from some of them.

Detectives Dig for

Detectives Thursday are endeavor-

was arrested Wednesday night in an
Atlanta hotel he had 500. He told

Judge Roam will make the an

Judge Roam reviewed the motion
Thursday in preparation for the an
nouncement of his decision. paying
particular attention to the allegations
of bias against Henslee and Johen-
ming and to a number Of legal points
involved in the defense's claim of err
rors.
Some of the leading lawyers OF the
city who have been following the case
expressed the opinion that, disregard
ing the contention that error had been
committed, the defense had estab-
ished a powerful reason for a new
trial in the alleged bias Of A. II. Hen
slee.
Chances for New Trial.
The chances for new trial on
this ground alone, they said, hinged
on whether Judge Roam would ac~
cept the argument of Solicitor Dor
sey that Henslee, even If he made the
remarks credited to him by the de-
fense-which the State does not con-
cede-need not have been pretudiced
in the sense that he could not go
into the jury box with mind open to
the evidence, or whether the judge
would hold with the defense that
Henslee entertained an ineradicable
bias against the defendant.
The defense submitted affidavits
from well-known citizens in Sparta,
Monroe, Albany and Atlanta testify
ing that the signers had overheard
Henslee not only express his belief in
Franks guilt, but roundly denounce
him and say that he would like to
