Rl0TlNe AGAIN IN ATLANTA


Atlanta, GA battery Of artillery,
battalion OF infantry and q troop Of
cavalry stood guard June Is at the
country home Of John NJ. Slaton. who
retired ct noon from the office OF gov
ernor OF Georgia. All was quiet during
the early evening, and there seemed to
be no indications Of further demon
strati0ns by persons who disapproved
the former governors action in COM
muting the death sentence OF Leo n.
Frank.
Down town. where the streets were
patrolled by q double watch of police,
conditions seemed to be normal, the
usual Saturday night crowd being
swelled only by the few dnauguratiol
visitors still In the city. ALI the near
beer saloons remained closed by pc.
lice orders throughout the day and
evening, and every ~precaution wax
taken to prevent trouble.
During the inauguration ceremonies
at the capitol there were everai ems
moments. When Gov. Slaton ap
preached the new governor to deliver

state, few Kisses heard from the
crowded gallery. President G. Ogden
Persons of the state senate raped
sharply with his gavel. The Kisses
continued, and Gov. Slaton paused
President Persons raped again and
the kissing ceased. He warned tbs
spectators that unless they were in or
der the galleries would be cleared.
The police claim that an oathbound
organization has been formed, with
qualifications in every Georgia coun
ty. whose purpose is to get Slaton and
Frank. It is alleged that the organ
ization had its beginning at q mid
night meeting Of citizens at the grave
of Mary Phagan in the Marietta Gem
etery. The police say the organize

| Phagan and is sworn never to be dis

AMERICANS AB0lRD
BRITISH SHIP SUNK
REPORTED . ARE "
News Creates sensation Among Or
olaIs In Washington In View 81
Pending Negotiations With
Germany at Present

Washington. = The freight liner
Armenian, chartered by the Leyland
line t the Dominion line, flying the
British flag, and carrying mules from
Newport News, Va. to England, was
torpedoed and sunk June % by the
German submarine U-3S OF Cornwall,
England, and nearly a o OF Ameri-
can m%uleteers aboard are reported
lost, according to messages to the
State Department from John S. Arm
strong, Jr., consul at Bristol.
Twenty-Five men in all were lost and
ten injured.
The news created q sensation In Of
fetal quarters, as it was the first case
of loss of American lives since the
sinking Of the Lusitania. The action
Of the Washington government, how
ever, depends almost entirely or
whether the Armenian was chartered
by the British government and was,
In fact, a transport of war aboard
which Americans would sail at their
own risk, or whether she was an un'
armed merchantmen. In the latter
case, even though carrying contra
band, the ship should have been sub
jected to visit and search and those
aboard transferred 70 q place of safety
before the destruction Of the vessel
was attempted, officials hold.
In the absence of conclusive infor
nation on these points, officials de
clined to say what effect the sinking
Of the Armenian would have on pend
ing negotiations between the United
States and Germany. Immediate In
quiry was directed, however, to Am
bassador Page at London to obtain
more details.
From the messages received 1t ap
pears that in addition to the torpedo
at least one shot was fired from q dis
appearing rifle. The consul's report
said the wireless house vas taken BY
second shot" It was not made clear
whether the Armenian first vas order
ed to half and resisted capture, requir
ing a second shot, or whether the SUB
marine attacked without warning. Thu
fact that the number Of the submar
inc was given indicated that she hai
come to the surface to make the at
tack.
Mules are contraband Of var &C
cording to all the lists OF the belliger
ents, so there can be no doubt Is t,
the contraband character Of the Al
menian's cargo. Officials will maxi
an effort to learn, however. whethe
| the vessel was armed and whether sh'
was a part of the British naval force
before the opinion of the state depar,
ment on the case will be disclosed.

WITNESSES SAY THAW SANE
Statement, Made on Stand by Federal
Commission Members That Exam
ined Him In New Hampshire.

New York.-Harry X. Thaw vas de.
scribed as sane and rational by two
members of the federal commission
appointed by the United States court
in New Hampshire to determine
whether he should be allowed his lib
erty under bail during extradition pro-
ceedings to bring him back from that
state to New York. They were Gen.
Frank S. Streeter Of Concord, chair
man of the commission, and DR.. Ch8.
P. Bancroft, superintendent of the New
Hampshire State Hospital for the In
sane.
DR.. Bancroft. testifying as an ex-
pert ~alienist, said he had examined
Thaw over a period of three weeks and
had tested his mental condition "for
reaction from every possible angle"
He said that the commission had gone
over in detail with Thaw all the cir.
cumstances of his life and had omit
ted no. topic which might bring to the
surface the delusion from which the
state alleges Thaw was suffering al
the time he shot Stanford White and
still is-that he was 'divinely appoint
ed the protector of American girl
hood"
I'VE found him perfectly, sane and
rational" said DR.. Bancroft. He said
on crosse-xamination that a true para
noiac. such as the state charges Thaw
to be, might for a time submerge his
delusion 10 as to defy the tests Of the
most expert alienists, but did not think
that this could be done for more thar
two or three months. 1t was bound
to appear after a while.
The witness said he had not giver
"a great deal of weight" to testimony
in previous Thaw proceedings before
him to the effect that various of the
Thaw relatives had the faint of in
sanity.
The plan to examine Presiden1
Emeritus Charles w. Eliot of Harvard
to find out why Thaw was expelled
from that institution in 1892, has beer
abandoned, the state announced, al

Hawaiian Cotton Quarantine.

Washington.-By an order Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, Hawaiian cotton is made subject
to the anne regulations which govern
the importation of Egyptian and other
foreign cotton. This quarantine order
requires that all Hawaiian cotton be
inspected by an inspector of the de-
partment of agriculture before ship
ment to the mainland. Only those
mills which have obtained licenses for
this purpose are allowed to use the
cotton. The purpose Of the new regu-
lations Is to prevent the entrance into
the country Of the pink boil worm in
the seed of foreign cotton. Seed in
fected in this way has been found in a
number Of shipments and it is felt
that stringent measures are necessary.

Washington. D. C.-Political ad.
visers of President Wilson have
learned definitely that William j. Bry-
an will oppose the presidents renomi-
nation, On the ground that Wilson Is
bound by the one-term plank Of the
Baltimore platform to refuse to be q
candidate again.
1t became known that before his de-
parture for the Pacific Coast last
week Bryan sounded out some Of his
closest political associates regarding
his contemplated stand and that, as a
result, the news reached the presi-
dents advisers. There are reasons
for believing that the president knew
Of Bryan's plan before he (the presi-
dent) departed for Cornish, N. II.
Wilson Men Begin Work.
In anticipation Of these coming de-
velopments, Wilson's managers have
quietly begun preparations to cope
with Bryan in what may be a faction

Bryan, it is learned, will contend In
his case, as he did in resigning from
the state department, that he is max
ing his fight for a principle, and that
personal considerations are in no way
involved. Friends of the president
who have learned of Bryan's inten-
lions take little stock in these pro
testations.
TO Give Bryan Patronage.
The presidents friends are resolved
to treat Bryan with every possible
courtesy, SO that when the break
comes he will have to precipitate 1t.
1t is understood hat he is to be given
first voice in Nebraska patronage, and
to be recognized in patronage mat.

state department are to be retained.
The presidents friends for months
have been working quietly with the
idea of procuring his denomination
without friction. They are believed
to be in control of the Democratic ma
tional committee and were responsible
for the selection of Fred B. Lynch Of
Minnesota as chairman of the execu-
tive committee of the national com
mittee.
