some oily waste and the wood casing
of the big machine and filled the
building with smoke about noon Tues

An alarm was turned In and the
plant shut down, as the smoke was
too thick to permit anyone to enter
The fire was soon put out It hat

A big crowd gathered in Decatu

cleared of smoke the workmen wen
back to their duties and the plant re
sumed operation.

GUARD TELLS Of
FARC|CAL PROBE
At PRISON
Declares McKeIway and Meyer
Had Nice Visit and "Investiga-
ton" Was Quite Enjoyable.
Continued From Page l..

ONCE for some time. I don't know,
and none Of the other guards ever
found out, what he told Mr.. Meyer
he was there for. He got into con-
versation with several OF the guards,
including myself, the first day or two
child labor expert, laughing when he
said IT. He said he was Investigating
the system we used In working the
men, hoping to apply 1t in some way
me az silly, and 1t struck some of the
other guards the same way.
DIR. McKelway had access to all
parts of the prison. but most of the
time he was accompanied by the
Deputy Warden or one of the three
captains, who, I suppose, helped him
investigate. We used to see him
walking about the yard, looking at
the prisoners. and being shown over
the prison by the officials, but II lie
ever talked to any Of the prisoners,
except the few he talked to in the 40
minutes Saturday night, none of the
guards saw him do il.
"McKelway would walk about The
prison during the day, in company
with the Warden, and then in the
evening he would go into the War
denis private office and, ] suppose,
look over the files and records Of the
institution. / know he looked over
the suspension papers of the seven
guards who were discharged, but l
don't suppose he found anything. The
papers never told the real reason why
those men were fired.
I'm the evening DR.. McKelway, aft
er working in the warden's Office
with the Warden--Would go over to
the warden's house, where he was a
guest during the time he was here,
although he had room at a hotel
also. I suppose that was for the sake
of appearances. There was a dinner
party or something for the doctor al
most every night he was here, and he
and Warden Meyer appeared to be the
best of friends, always chatting and
laughing together. Lots Of the guards
and people living nearby have seen
them drinking mint juleps together
in Warden Meyers home"
The guard declared also that a week
or two before DR.. McKelway appeared
Warden Meyer discharged the negro
cook and also the manager of farm
and transportation, and installed new
men in their places. The result has
been better food and more of it, and
he says that while DR.. McKelway was
there the food was very good.

ATLANTA BANKS
:. REPORT 1918
BUSY YEAR

The second Tuesday OF the New
Year happened to fail on the 18th
day of the month, but the National
banks Of Atlanta are not the least
superstitious. They went ahead and
held their annual meetings as per
schedule, and all the meetings were
quiet and highly successful-at least,
so many as had been held by o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
Two were scheduled for later in
the day, but neither was expected to
turn up anything radical. The Third
National Bank was to meet at .. and
the Lowry National at 4 o'clock.
The Atlanta National Bank met at
noon, and followed the customary
routine of National bank annual
meetings. That is, the stockholders
met and heard a report for the year;
praised the report, and elected the
board Of directors.
Currency Law Commended.
In this case, II was the same, ex-
cept that w. F. Winecoffs name was
missing from the list. Then the di
rectors had a meeting and re- elected
the same list Of officers as in 1913.
The American National Bank fol-
lowed a similar program. the stock
holders re- electing the directors, who
reelected the officers.
The meeting also (snd all the Ma
tional bank meetings did this) adopt
ed a resolution commencing the cur
rency law and ratifying the earlier
promise made to subscribe to and
become members of the National re-
serve bank.
The Fourth National Bank met at
noon, the stockholders naming the
samed irectors, who e-elected the Of
1cers, except that Thomas !. Ryan's
title was made vice president and
cashier, instead of only cashier as in
the past,
Had Prosperous Year.
The Fulton National Banks stock
holders added three new directors to
its board-E. c. Galloway, DR.. Dun
bar Roy and Henry V. Kennedy. The
officials, most of whom had pro-
gressed a step last month, were re-
elected to their positions without ex-
ception.

Steps Begun for
Congressional Probe.

WASHINGTON. Jan, 1S.-Because
Or. McKelway has completely ignored
the witnesses who made aff1davits TO
representative Howard as to condi-
tons at the Atlanta Federal Prison,
as the basis of the recent investiga-
ton, and because it is known that the
report Of the examiner will be a
whitewash of Superintendent Mover
and the administration of the affairs
of the Institution, steps are being
taken and the groundwork laid for
a Congressional investigation in case
the report is in substance what is in
dicated.
The investigation is regarded here
as ex parte in that none of the for
mer guards and convicts who made
affidavits were examined nor was a
