Mr.. Tom Watson
What tell you 1 know to be true as God IL
light, and it is this: The Jews all gathered at
the home of the Segs, on Washington Street
Wher Franks wife and father-in-laW live, and
from till II o'clock they had regular old-ti1uc
Belshazzar feast. They drank wine, high balls,
whiskey and beer, and smoked and sang, and had
music; and there were not less than hundred
and twenty automobiles full of Jews that came
there from the time / say to the late hour
Now, they all knew Slaton mad comT?ntc1
Frank, and were celebrating it,
And l know policeman who the
streets yesterday, to make ont like controlling
the mob, and he told me lie passed the jail every
night at Il O'Clock for year and going on duty,
and never a light in the Office of the Sheriff
till Saturday night, and he was surprised to see
the Sheriff sitting there like he waiting for
somebody, and suddenly Jew came
ming UP and tapped the window, and thS
Sheriff raised the window and the Jew whispered
to him, and the Sheriff smiled and then the Jew
ran Off and the Sheriff closed the window Now,
that showed conspiracy, and that Slaton
working with the Jews all the time.
big real estate man told me yesterday he
had a friend in the pencil factory who had worked
there some years, and he told him FRANK WAS
THE ONLY MAN IN THE WHOLE SHOP WHO
COULD TIE THE SORT OF KNOT THAT WAS
FOUND ON MARY PHAGANS NECK. He said
Frank learned it at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and
although of them tried to learn to tie it
like that, of them could do
And a lady told yesterday her aunt lived
the Seg lone and that few days after
the murder, and after they took Frank to jail
or police quarters, his wife's sister came to
see her and told her they all knew Frank killed
that girl, and that his wife had not gone to see
him, and what more she never would go to
see him, she done with him and was go
ing to get divorce; and the Seg woman also
said there excuse for Frank not going
to the ball game with her husband, because he
told them the night before that he had finished
his work the balance sheet Friday evening.
I asked the woman who told me all this, why
her aunt did not give it to Dorsey at the trial. and
she said her uncle held job in the County Court
house and afraid he would lose his place, if
he let his wife get into it, he would not let
her tell what the Selig woman told her. This
Seli9 woman is the WIFE OF THE MAN FRANK
HAD THE ENGAGEMENT TO GO TO THE
BALL GAME WITH.
Slaton sure was disqualified to act on the case,
if he wanted to be an honest man, for he had
two law partners interested in the Frank defense
Ben Phillips the son-in-law Of the rich Elsis.
and Rosser, his other partner, who defended
Frank and if there is one man in town who
Slaton looks up to if he a god, it is Ros-
ser; and of course Rosser has been pouring it
into Stations ear for year. at least.

There will be confession" from jim;
and Jim will be following Slaton's trunks
on their way to the Setting Sun; and the
filthy Sodomite will disappear from the State

When General George Washington was
implored by the British to save the life of
the gallant young officer, Major Andre, he
answered, substantially
"Gige me 1rnozd, and you mag have an

Washington passionately yearned to get
his hands on the traitor--to hang him like a
dog.
Benedict Arnold, sorely provoked by Con-
gress, plotted with the enemy, to surrender
one outlying fortress which his country had
entrusted to his keeping.
John M. Slaton not provoked at ALL plot
ted to surrender, and did surrender, to the
enemies of Law and Order, the very Citadel
of our safety and honor-a citadel which
a generous people had con6ded to his keep
ing.
The rich Jews knew him better than we
did: when they employed the firm of Rosser
Slaton & Phillips to defend Leo Frank, they
trusted much to Rosser, In the courts, but
more to Slaton In the executive office.
They knew what they were doing when
they hired that firm: they knew what they
would get, when they put up the ducats for
that firm; and they got what they had ex-
pected, 2Cben Station reversed oil the -c0nrts,

How can any Georgian expect us to ever
forget that? How could we forget it, If we
tried?
Shall we condone it, forgive it, and for
get it, and thus encourage another member
of aw-frm to disgrace noble profession,
violate his oath of office, nullify the laws
and the courts, and prostitute gubernatorial
powers at the dictation of mercenary III
fuences?
Must we obliterate the line between the
deserter and the fighter: must we forget the
difference between the honest cashier, and
the defaulter who ruins the bank?
Must we quit teaching the children to
abhor bad men, and to avoid evil commune
cations?
Must we be silent, and let John NJ. Sla-
ton take his place in our Hall of Fame on
an equality with Stephens and Jenkins, and
Johnston, and Cobb, and Lumpkin and
Jackson, and Troup?
Away with such logic!
If the thing that John NJ. Slaton did was
not wrong, nothing is wrong.
Confuse honor with dishonor, if you can:
confound vice with virtue, if you can: when
you have done it, you yourself have ceased
to have either honor, or virtue.
To the drunk, all men are drunk.
To the confirmed thief, all men would

Auburn Team Arrives Tonight

Auburn, November 1t--( Special )-This afternoons work brought to close the strenuous scrimmaging and polishing which Donahue and his assistants have given the Auburn varsity to perfect fghting machine for the great game Sat urday with Vanderbilt. The squad will reach Birmingham Friday night, primed for battle.
 The shifting of the versatile and valu- able Steed from the line to fill the quar- back cavity caused by the failure of both Hairston and Caughman to recover from injuries has sent Wren to left half where his open field running will boost the team. Captain Bidez will star at full and Prenaergast at right half, with Daddy Adkins understudy for Steed at quarter. The line will start as it did in the battle with Georgia; Robinson taking center; Fricke and Ducote, guards; Sample and Wynne, tackles; Bonner and Baby Taylor at the ends.
 Of this lineup, six are playing their first year as regulars, though some of them are seniors, one playing his second year. three their third and Captain Bidez his fourth and last year. Wren. Ducote. Fricke and Bonner have never played in any capacity; Sample and Robinson have

SCRUBS OF HOWARD ANDOWENT0NF|GH 1. ID SCORELESS DRAW Baptists Outplay Opponents But Lack Punch to Score Touchdown-Baty Stars
 for OWentOn

One of the best games seen on Munger Field this season ended in a scoreless game between the Howard Scrubs and the Birmingham College Scrubs yesterday aft ernoon. The game started promptly at 3:So and was hard fought all the way through. Howard had the heaviest eleven and was dangerous most of the time. On two or three occasions they were on Bir- mingham's five and 1O-yard line But the
 'old fighting spirit' of the Varsity was there and no touchdown forthcoming.
 Only one substitution was made during the game. Carlisle was substituted for
 Long at fullback, who was injured after
 he made nice gain around end for 30
 yards.
 There were other spectacular plays
 made. Clayton put up swell game for
 Howard and with another year of ''sub-
 ping will make the Varsity good man.
 Baty put up the best game for Birming-
 ham, for on several occasions he got
 away for long gains. Laughinghaus and Morris put up great game. Malone got off some nice punts and also had a good punch on his line bucks.
 Another game will be played between these two teams on the Howard campus next week, the date to be announced later.
 The Varsity had an "off day. but will get down to hard work today for the game with the Blountsville Agges to be played Saturday, November 20, on Mun~ ger Field.
 The line-uD is as follows. Birming (captain), quarter back; G. Morris. center; c. Morris, right end Tucker right tackle; Ardis, left tackle; Traywick, halfback; Malone, half- back; Baty fullback; Laughinghaus, right end; Neese, left guard; King, right guard.
 Howard-Niper, center; Beall, left guard; Pittard, right guard; Evans, right tackle; Williams, left tackle; Clayton, left end; Bentley, right end; Lee. quarterback; Davidson (captain), halfback; Long, Car lisle, fullback; Griffin, halfback.

Enquiries have played havoc with the Don Eahue machine.

 Auburn. besides entering the battle minus the services of Caughman and ] SHairston has the lightest team that has represented the Orange and Blue for many a season. The average weight of Fthe entire squad, consisting of 2S men, is 1 163 pounds. However, the team that Estarts the game against the Commodores Twill almost reach the standard Auburn 5weight. The average weight of the line lis 176 pounds, while the back field, pos sonly 163 making the average team weight kliV pounds.
 The weight of the Commodores cannot { be obtained as certainty, but it will fall i ssightly below the average of their op- fponents. The announcement that "Rab- bit" Currey has fully recovered from the | injuries he suffered at the hands of the / Virginia tacklers greatly encouraged the hopes of the Vandy supporters. Currey is
 about the best quarter in the south, and is
 an exceedingly dangerous man on wide
 end runs. Running with Currey will be .Zorfoss, Floyd, Morrison and Friel at the halfback positions and Ray or Jarrett | at full. The Vandy back field will be con- siderably less than the Tigers on &C., count of Currey. who tips the beam at about the 135-pound mark. However, the remainder of the Commodore back field is able to stand up to the Tigers in the re- spect of individual weight.
 When the line is touched, Auburn again shows the supremacy in weight. With Taylor at 195 pounds and Frickey with . 190 pounds, the Auburn line averages 17e pounds. outweighing the Vandy line about . five pounds to the man.
 On the Vandy line, Josh Cody, a heavy weight, and the best man on the Commo- dore line brings the average higher. There are several other heavywights on

the Vandy line and the slight difference in weight will not make any noticeable
 effect.
 Another asset must also be taken into
 consideration Vandy outshnes Auburn
 in this respect. That is speed Every
 man on the Commodore back field is a
 fast man and especially Currey The
 Tiger backs are by no means slow run
 ners and in Prendergast, Auburn has a.
 wonderful man sweeping end runs.
 But taking the back field on the whole,
 the Tigers are outclassed when the ques-
 ton Of speed arises.
 It will undoubtedly be a great game, , and moreover greater crowd. Last year over 5000 people filed into Redwood to see the big game which Auburn won by a lone touchdown. This year the slogan of the committee in charge of affairs is '15,000 or more." Every prepa-
 r9 ton is being made to accommodate that
 number. Nothing more has been decided
 on the question of abolishing the automo- bile space, but it is considered by the
 majority of the alumni that this step will not be taken. Probably the cbief reason for this is because the inability if the officials to secure the seats for the space. However, the plan has not been given up as yet, and there is still prob-
 ability of seeing the space filled with circus seats to accommodate 4000 extra people.
 Officials for the game have not been decided upon as yet The Auburn team will arrive in town tonight while the Commodores, although leaving Nashville this morning, will not reach the city until Saturday morning, stopping over on the trip for practice. Auburn will stop at the TIillman hotel and Vandy at the Tut wiler during their stay in Birmingham.
 On the train that the Auburn team comes up on, Governor Henderson and his wife will accompany Coach Donahue and his cohorts. A large reception is planned to take place at the Louisville and Nash vile station when the train arrives to- night at 8:30. Hundreds of Auburn alumni will meet the train. The game will start l at 2:15.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.-President Wilson, Secretary of Interior Frank lin K. Lane, and the members of the Alaska Engineering Commission, held a conference today and this is taken here to indicate that the report of the railroad investigators will be made public within few days.
 It is believed that the president will submit to congress a special mes sage asking for the appropriation Of $5,O0O,O00 to carry on the construc- tion work as planned by the engi- neers.
 The conference today was devoted almost exclusively to a consideration of the different routes for the gov ernment road from the coast to the interior and with the object of reach ing the coal fields in the Matanuska district. Secretary Daniels is report ed to be urging the prompt action on the part of congress and the build. ing of a road as far as the coal fields so that the coal can be used by the navy.
