Georgia Child Labor
Conditions Terrible,
Says A, ], McKelway

DR.. A. J. McKelwaY, a nationally
famous Child Labor expert, passed
through Atlanta Friday. en- route to
Washington from New orleans, where
he has been attending a conference
on child labor. Dr. McKelway COM
mented vigorously on published ut
terances defending Georgia's child
labor laws, declaring that conditions
in this State are terrible.
Georgia is the last place on earth
that should defend her child labor
laws" said DIR. McKelway. Ten
year-old children are allowed to work
in the cotton mills of this State,
condition that prevails nowhere else
in the country. The child labor laws
of Georgia are virtually no laws at
all. for all the good they do.
"a defense of the child labor laws
that are now on the statute books of
this state is a defense of child labor,
of the practice Of allowing little
children to work ten and twelve
hours d day in the cotton mills.

No Evidence Of Deliberate
Plot on Frank.

A. S. Colyar, photographer,
quondam lawyer and mysterious
igure in the Phagan murder case,
has been brought into the hghs
by the latest activity of Detee-
tive Burns and his operatives.
This became known Friday shortly
after the-day.s-mest ITpportant 1deref-
opment-Burns' positive declaration
that he already was IN position to
clear up the mystery of Mary Pha-
CAMS missing purse and by envelope
and Of the ribbons and flowers miss
Jug from her hat.
The strange disappearance Of the
slain girls mesh bag has remained
one of the battling and unexplained
features of the case up to the present.
Jim Conley. having never before mems
toned 1t in any Of his sworn state
ments, startled he courtroom at the
Trial of Frank by declaring that he
saw it on Franks desk when he went
in 10 write the lGrrder notes after this
girl had been NilIe6.
Will Explain All, He Says.
Burns was non committal when he
was asked II he actually had found
the missing articles or simply had
ascertained their disposition by the
murderer.
"I will explain everything about ths
mesh bag, the paw envelope and the
other articles when my final repors
is made" he promised.
Another important contribution TO
the DAYS developments came in the
shape Of an interview with Henry :.

and declared that he was confidenH
that Jim Conley. whom he knew as 3
worthless, no-account negro, was the
person who slew the little girl.
Burns admitted Friday that he had
located Colyar in an Alabama city
and that his men were investigating
every incident of Coyar's connection
with the murder mystery. including
his alleged effort to obtain by $1,000
bride testimony defamatory to Franks
character
Says CoIyar Ought To Be in Jail.
IF all hear about this man is true,
he ought 10 be in jail" said Burns.
II imagine he has been successful In
escaping much of the imprisonment
which he deserves not so much be-
