CONLEY RELEASED
FROM PRISON CAMP
Negro Denies He Wrote Anna

Stay in Atlanta.
tB, Telegraph to The Tribune J

Atlanta, June Jim Conley, negro
sccuser Of Leo VI. Frank, was released
from convict camp this afternoon.
Soon afterward he appeared at Soil
otor Dorsey's Office. He said he was
not afraid Of the people who believe
him guilty Of the murder, and that he
intended 10 remain in Atlanta.
Conley, who completed last night his
sentence of one year as accessory TO
the murder. denied that he had written
the Anna Maud Carter letters. which
figured in Leo VI. Franks eXtraor-
binary motion for new trial
Conley's denial, made in the pres
ence OF Solicitor Dorsey, was the first
intimation that Conley had not been
the author OF these letters, by which
Franks lawyers sought to show that
Conley had written without assist
snce the famous murder notes" found
beside Mary Phagan's body Conley
testified at Franks trial that the notes
were written by him at Franks dcta-
ton.
Franks counsel contended that the
expressions and general form of die
tion IN the Carter letters were iden-
teal with those Of the murder
notes" and that Conley mad written
both independent of outside sugges-
tIOn.
The proposed hearing at the Jail. at
which Couley and Frank were 20 tes-
tify ~ the suit for damages brought
By Mary PhagAn's mother for the
death Of the girl. was abandoned when
the attorneys agreed to accept the trial
evidence. II is evident that there will
be- strong protest against commute

to-day for mass meetings in every
county to pass resolutions Of protest.

BAGGAGE RIOTS
FEARED BY ROADS
Vacation Rush Worries
Increased by CumminS
Valuation Law.

Every railroad with terminals in New
York or on the Jersey side of the river
was yesterday preparing for something
like young riots when the summer vaca-
tion season sets in IN earnest, and the
Cummins law, limiting the value OF
luggage that may be carried free OF
charge goes into full effect.
Every railroad through its repre-
sentatives was also handing out pleas
of not guilty and exhibiting alibIs TO
prove that Senator Albert b. Cummins,
Of Iowa, foe of railroads and friend of
the plain people. is responsible for the
law, effective yesterday, which compeis
every traveller to put true valuation
upon his trunks, pay insurance on all

chance Of going to Jail If he under
values or overvalues his belongings.
Until yesterday one bought his ticket
and checked his trunks with a mini
mum Of red tape. Usually in the city
tho claim check of the transfer com
pany was exchanged for similar
check of the railroad and the traveller
did not worry. Hundreds could be and
were handled IN a brief time under
this system. The only trouble came
when some one lost trunk rarity
and then sought TO compel the rail
road 10 pay for its contents at Red

New York Central officials said they
feared the change would make for end
