ginia providing Tor Capt Potts's appoint.

ranking captain last March. when he
passed an examination for promotion. but
before he WAS advanced the plucking
board ordered him on the retired list.
In addition to Capt. Potts there were
present number Of representatives Of the
Navy Department and Of the service. who
gave testimony Rear Admiral Blue. chief
Of the bureau OF navigation. speaking for
the Department, told the committee that
the examining board that passed Capt.
Potts for promotion either ignored or dis
regarded instructions a. to the require
ments for sea service. Rear Admiral
OstsrhAus. retired. who was chairman Of
the examining board. told the COMMITTEES
that the board had been associated with
Capt. Potts and was familiar with his
qualifications for promotion, that they L.
nored no instructions given to them ON
cially. but had exercised only the discsS-
ton invested in them.

The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-03-12

declaring that no was an of'icsr Of high
character and ability.
Rear Admiral Blue made a defence Of
the piucking bolrd. He declared II wa
JUSTIFIED in requiring that promotion
should not be made for political or social
reasons, but solely In confederation d
qualifications and with special rsferencs
to service. He explained that Capt. Potts
had sean only two years and nine months
at 80 In the last fourteen years oe his
service on the active list and that he had
been a captain only ten months when he
was reported by the examining board ~
qualified for the rank Of rear admiral.

tion that the passage Of the Chiffon bill
would set . bad precedent
Capt. Potts in reply told the COMMITTEES
that no precedent would be made by the
passage Of the bill. that his case waa
an exceptional one, differing from Others
because Secretary Daniels had ordered
that ~ soon - Potts completed additional
duty he should be promoted to the rank
Of rear admiral He made the point
that a civilian Secretary of the Navy
could hardly be considered ~ competent
to overruie . board Of experts who had
pronounced him efficient and worthy Of

ihcation for promotion. II was denied
that there was any feeling against Capt

effort to straighten out the facts regard
ing the now famous rising vote on the
demand for a roll call when reference to

the resolution OF Representative Nc

Prof. Charles Zueblein asserted last
week that Speaker Clark had miscounted

Clark's remarkable address from the

standing. He reiterated this statement In
his speech against Prot. Zueblein. who
had asserted that nearly ffty members
arose. Speaker Clarks claim TO the ac-
curacy Of his count was corroborated by

senting all parties. and including Mr. Nc
Prof. Zuebiein's charge had been based
upon the signed statement OF members OF
Congress. These statements had been
sent to the National Voters League in an

FRANKS DEFENDERS
SEEK A CONFESSION
Will Urge Detective Burns to
Use His Arts on Con-
ley, the Negro.
MAY ASK HELP OF COURT
Say Prosecutions Witness Has
Been Unduly Protected
From Questioning.

ATLANTA. March 1i.--Attorneys for
Leo NJ. Frank will attempt to force y
confession from the negro, Jim Coniey,
that he murdered little Mary Phasan and
to save his own neck accused Frank o.
the crime. To this end Franks attorneys
will mako a determined effort to gain
permission for Detective william J. Burns
to 20 to the jail and interview the negro
Burns will be here the latter part 1T
the week.
The detective may not find Il easy to
see the negro. who since his first admis-
sion that he wrote the murder notss mas
been zealously guarded. When a news

bell, who have been working under him
almost since the day OF the murder.
II Is said that Franks attorneys win
appeal to the courts for an order allowing
Burns to see Conley at will. Burns Is
still in New York. but Is expected here
Friday. Three Burns agents are at work
here. and they are devoting most Of their
time 10 an investigation Of the methods
OF the prosecution In securing evidence
for the State at the trial.
Developments tonight seem TO indicate
that Franks attorneys are preparing to
spring the real sensation In the case. T.
c. Tedder assistant to Attorney w. NJ.
Smith. who represents the negro Conley.
was In secret conference with Franks at
iorneys late this afternoon. and It is be-
lieved that Tedder has made some state.
ment In regard to Conley's story that will
have Vital bearing on Franks case.
Tedder was closely associated with the
prosecution and his conference with the
attorneys for the defence has caused a
sensation. Neither Tedder nor Franks at.
torneys will talk, but rumors are curren,
OF sensational revelations.
The defence OF Frank has repeated,
charged that agents OF the prosecution
coerced witnesses and that other i'm.
portant testimony like that OF DIR. Harris
was never made known by the prosecu-
ton. These charges are being vigorously
investigated BY the Burns men.
Attorneys for Frank say that the fact
that Robert p. Barrett found bloodstaips
and strands OF hair on the second floor
In the lathe room Of the National Pencl!
factory does not establish positive proof
that Leo N. Frank killed Mary Phagan
This view Is shared by members OF the
claims committee Of Atlanta City Council
Becuse he discovered the bloodstains
and strands OF hair Barrett claimed the
81. 600 reward offered by the city for
proof to convict the murderer. His claim
was heard by the Council committee this
afternoon and the members seemed "a
/ think II was not well founded. and tina,
until Il is proved beyond a doubt tina,
the bloodstains and hair brought aboa'
Franks conviction the reward should no,
be paid.
