POLITICAL ROW

Police Board May Also Be

Atlanta, June 13.-With the police
commission itself in hot water as the
result of the indictment of one of its
members, Commissioner Fain, aud
with everybody connected with tha
famous, or infamous, dictograph row
now accused of crookedness, it begins
to look as if the grand jury will have
to investigate the mess whether it
wants to or not.

police board was the proper body %
investigate any charges brought
against the police or detective de
partment, but then Mr.. Fain's name
was dragged into the mHck.
There are still left in Atlanta
few people who have not been mixed
up in some way with the dictograph
row and the Phagan case, and White
they seem to be in the minority, they
are none the less anxious to find ou.,
if possible, who is liar and who isn't
a liar, and who is crook and who
isn't crook
1t is admitted that the only hope OF
getting this interesting knowledge viii

Humes, of this city, who died today
in the hospital at Stamford, Conn,
retained above all else his sense of
news when terribly crushed yester-

death of six persons and the injury
of about twenty more on the New

Humes, a reporter on The World,

engine of the train behind. When
Humes was carried out of the wreck,
suffering from crushed pelvis AMI

him:
Call pu my paper right away and

up. Call up my mother, too

MERCER
Will GET
| $4,000
The OPINION OF ORDINARY
Validity of Mrs. DOdd's viii
Is Sustained

Atlanta, Ca, June 13.-The validity
of the will of the late Mrs. Barbara
Dodd, who left the bulk of her estate
valued at $4,000, to Mercer uni
versity, was sustained by Judge Will
kinson in ordinary's court Friday.
The court overruled the caveat of the
relatives, which set up that Mrs. Dodd
had made the will while under tho
hallucination that her relatives had
wronged her.
In the original caveat, filed by Mrs.
Barbara Dibble, Mrs. Fannie A. Aker-
man, Oscar C. Thomas, M. George
Malcom and Henry E. Dibble, it was
asserted that Mrs. Dodd became pos
sessed of the mania Immediately al
ter she had divorced her second nus
band, ]. H. Garner.
While temporarily unbalanced from
her unfortunate marriage experience,
the caveat maintained, Mrs. Dodd
sought her relatives and tried to in
duce them to kill Garner Because
she was refused, it is asserted, she
became indignant and made the will
leaving them practically nothing.
A greater part of these charges
were stricken by the contestants in an
amended caveat filed before the case
was called for hearing this morning
Few witnesses were put up for
either side and the decision means
that the case will be fought out be-
fore a jury in the superior court, I'M
less compromise is affected.
Mrs. Dodd, who died suddenly at
the Aragon hotel two months ago
was the widow of the late Phillip
Dodd,. one time a prominent Atlanta
merchant Her will left Mercer uni
versity close to 100000 and numer-
Gus bequests were made to Atlanta
charitable institutions.
Henry E. Dibble, a brother, now
blind, who has joined in the contest
of the will, was left $4,000

WAITING FOR
SETTLEMENT
OF TARIFF
EAST WANTS IT SETTLED
According TO Reports Brought
From That Section

New York is waiting for the tariff
matter to be settled" was the opinion
yesterday of MIR. G. R. Ellis, who has
just returned from ten-day trip to
the metropolis and brief stay in the
national capital. There is an el4-
ment of uncertainty in the business
world in New York, caused by the sus-
pense relative to tariff discussion,
which only definite action on the ta-
riff can end"
There is no panic, no crisis in bus
mess affairs and finance, but there is
that uneasiness which the discussion
of the tariff has never failed to bring
in American business The fact that
action on the pending bill is being
delayed serves to accentuate this-feel-
ing, which is, of course, inimical to
business and prevents elements of
stability in the business and financial
world, which do so much towards pro-
noting general prosperity
in anticipation of the re-adjust-
ment of the tariff and the unsettled
state of affairs accompanying any
change in the tariff and presidential
administrations, the financial centeIs
have increased their cash holdings 81
that no difficulty in the way of panic
is feared A solid financial condition
will be maintained, making sure .
period of greater prosperity as soon rs
the tariff is settled and the crops be-
gin to be harvested"
