that the murder was committed on
the second floor" said Chief Lanford,
1--WE had plenty of other evidence.
When we found that the hair found
in the lathe could not be positively
identified as belonging to Mary Pha-
of the investigation and devoted our
attention to something else
Mr.. Dorsey declared that DR.. Har-
ris told him prior to the trial that he
was not sure that the hair was that
of Mary Phagan, and that the State
had been entirely OPEN and above
board in the matter.
II expected the attorneys for the
Defense" said Mr.. Dorsey, ito ask
DR.. Harris what he thought about the
hair, but they failed to do so. Other
witnesses testified that they believed
the hair to be that of Mary Phagan,
and that sufficed to establish my
point, inasmuch as the defense did
not introduce any evidence tending to
show that it was not. / did not de-
pend upon DIR. Harriss testimony on
this point for a conviction, anyway;
/ had other evidence that was much
clearer and stronger"
DR.. Harris admission that he is
not positive concerning the identity
Of the hair was characterized as
amazing by Franks attorneys. Later
they issued a statement IN which they
insinuated that the State held back
this portion of the evidence and that
other evidence also was likely to turn
up before the final chapter Of the fa-
nous case is written.
Defense Attorneys Amazed.
Unless we are much mistaken in
the fairness of the people OF Fulton
County," said the attorneys 1.-The

der as to what other things were
concealed and misrepresented in the
same way.
"The story that the State and its
chief medical expert knew during the
trial that the hair found in the pencil
factory was not the hair of Mary
Phagan amazes UP beyond words.
For some time we have heard
vague rumors that the hair that fig
ured in the Frank case was not the
hair of Mary Phagan, and that DR..
Harris knew it when he testified at
the trial, and that the Solicitor knew
it when he was making proof about
the hiar by Barrett, Magnolia Ken
nedy and other witnesses; but, in
spite of these rumors, we could not
bring ourselves to believe that DR..
Harris would have concealed this I'M
portant matter, with the knowledge

would argue to the jury as he did
that he finding of this hair was evil

ConIey's Trial Near.
Jim Conley, who confessed that he
aided Frank in disposing of the body
of the little girl, will be placed on trial
in the criminal division of the Su-
perior Court on February %, charged
of the murder
Since the conviction of Frank and
Conley's subsequent indictment, the
negro has been kept in the Tower,

U. S. Should Increase Armament
to Defend Enormous Coast,
Asserts Veteran Chief.

The need of better means of ma
tionaI defense, particularly of larger
navy to defend our thousands on
miles of seaeoast and our island
possessions, was vigorously urged
Saturday by General Washington
Gardner. OF Albion. Mich. COM
mander-in- chief of the Grand Army
of tie Republic, who u in Atlanta
to attend the annual encampment OF
the Department of Georgia and South
Carolina.
General Gardner declared emphat-
ically that the navy should be grad
ually increased. and expressed
doubt as to the wisdom of having
the regular army depend SO wholly
upon the state militia for its real
strength.
America should not lag behind
other nations of the world" said Cen
eral Gardner. Preparedness wins
more wars than valor and determina-
ton, and If nation is prepared Tor
war that nation win be let alone by
other countries
Canal Needs Protection.
The United States should have a
large navy, and il should be increased
gradually until 1t ranks with the
navies of other world powers. / do
not, of course favor an increase III
the navy that would be burdensome
TO the people of the country, but the
United States has thousands of miles
OF seacoast to her island possessions
and the Panama Canal TO protect
and in view alo of the fact that future
wars promise to be waged largely
upon the seas / believe we shoul6
have a naval program that would add
more battleships, with proportionate
numbers of smaller vessels, to the
navy each year.
"Irniversal disarmament would un-
doubtedly be great benefit to hu-
manity, but ii will be many years,
II ever, before that dream comes true,
and meanwhile the Emitted States
would be doing far less than her duty
If she did not provide herself with
ample means of defense.
'Trhe man who owns valuables
locks them in his house or in a safe
deposit vault, where they are safe
from thieves; the United States
should be able to keep her great
cities and her possessions safely
locked in from foreign countries, and
the KEY should be a large navy and
an efficient army
The American army. so far as
have observed, is large enough and
efficient enough for ordinary pur-
poses. There probably is. however,
some reason for the assertion of army
officers that its strength depends too
much upon the state militia, and that
il is smaller than II really should be.
General Gardner heartily approved
the plan of the Atlanta Chamber of
Commerce to celebrate the semi-cen-
tennial of the battle of Atlanta next
year.
Il am in favor OF anything" he de-
clared, that viii aid in strengthen
ing the bonds OF love and promoting
harmony between the North and
South. Such a celebration as is pro-
posed for Atlanta, Il properly man
aged. would be fitting tribute to
the brave men Of both the Federa
and the Confederate armies
For Woman Suffrage.
And | am confident that Atlanta
and the people of Atlanta will be able
10 hold their celebration in the proper
spirit, and obtain the desired results,
Atlanta Georgian., 1914-02-21

Atlanta is a magnificent city. ! had
heard a great deal of Atlanta, but
was not prepared for the huge build
ings and the other evidences of a
metropolis that found"
The head of the G.. A. R. also added
his voice to the thousands of promi
nent men, throughout the United
States who are Indorsing the move
ment for woman suffrage.
1T can only be a question of time.
he said, when the women of America
will be allowed to vote. Personally.
am in favor OF woman suffrage,
and am glad TO say that / voted for
it when the question came up in
Michigan recently.
Making Tour Of South.
The women of America are pre-
pairing Themselves for the ballot, and
when they get 1t they will know what
to do with it. They are studying now
more than the men, along general
lines, and there is vast amount of
Increasing. intelligence among the
women of the country. Woman suf
rage undoubtedly will have a puri-
fying effect on politics, just as the
influence of woman has a purifying
effect on any feature of our life"
General Gardner was to leave at
noon Saturday for Birmingham, and
from there will go to Vicksburg, New
Orleans, Fort Smith. Ark, and Okla
homa on a tour of inspection OF the
different departments of the G. A. r.
in the South.
While here he was entertained by
local veterans and was the guest ot
honor at a reception Friday night at
the home of William NJ Scott, a
prominent local Union veteran, where
he met Atlanta men who served in
both the Northern and Southern
armies
