The release of "Swifty'' Klein, in
Jail under indictments for alleged
completely in a murder and swindling
charged to Floyd Woodwards bunco
syndicate, and the calling of a mass
meeting of citizens/to take action in
the circumstances resulting from So
licitor John A. Boykin's crusade. are
among the latest DEVELOPMENTS in the
sensational expose of underworld con-
ditions in Atlanta.
Klein. who is alleged to have been
Woodward's right-hand man in the
swindling syndicate's operations. is
believed to have confessed to his
part in fleeing victims through fake
horse racing and stock market
schemes. 1t is believed that much Of
the data on which Solicitor Boykin
has based his charges of graft and
connivance in the police and detec-
tive department was supplied by
Klein.
Klein's bond. which had been fixed
at $4,000, was reduced to $4,000 by
Judge John D. HUMPHREYS after So
licitor Boykin had given his consent.
The alleged wire Taper immediately
left for his home in Admission. Ala.
Some of the indictments against
Klein involved him in the murder of
Ed Mills. alleged to have been a men,

he and other Atlantians had employed
the law firm of Branch & Howard to
assist Solicitor Boykin. Mr.. Mang2t
said that the meeting. which is set
for Tuesday night. will take steps
to get to the bottom of the situa-
ton, regardless of who may suffer
from the investigation.
The evidence which Solicitor Boy
kin claims will link Chief of Detec-
tives Lamar Poole. Detective Lieu

conner. Aldine Chambers, former
chairman of the police board, ana
others. with the bunco ring, will be
laid before a special investigating
committee of city council at as early
date as the solicitor can prepare his
case. At this hearing it is expected
that the most sensational details of
the crusade will come to light.
Chief of Detectives Poole has called
upon Solicitor Boykin to indicc
Joseph o. Ewing, the Atlanta lawyer,
who was charged with fixing the
solicitor in the letter written last
week by Floyd Woodward, king" Of
the Wire-tappers. The solicitor de-
clined to take such action. declaring
that no evidence against Ewing had
been presented to him except Wood
yards letter. which the solicitor has
branded as a tissue of lies and an
elaborate frame-up.

NOT To GIVE WAY
TO OLD WORKERS

While the striking employees Of the
Atlanta, Birmingham and Atlantic
railroad assert that they will not
return to work except in a body, the
officials of the road declared Monday
morning that under the terms of
the decision rendered Saturday by
Judges Sibley and Clayton in the
federal court, the new men employed
since the general strike of March s.,
will not be discharged to make room
for such former employees as may
desire to return. The federal court
decision was reached after a hearing
lasting all day on the question Of
reasonableness of the reduced wage
scale now in effect on the A, B. & A.
The strikers, through their broth
erhood representatives. have issued
a statement declaring their intention
to remain on strike until they are
reinstated en- masse, and denying that
alleged attempts to wreck A, B. &
A. trains have been committed by
any of their members. Rewards of
$3.50 each have been posted by Gov
ernOr Dorsey for the arrest and con-
Viction of the parties responsible
for the three alleged wrecking at

Missing Balloon
Reported Fallen
Near Mobile. Ala

MOBILE, Ala, March 27-Farm-
ers in the vicinity at Neshota, seven
miles west of here, reported today
that on Friday night at $3.50 o'clock
saw a bright light with dark OBJ
ject behind it, apparently balloon
moving from the direction of the
Gulf of Mexico in a northwesterly
direction. The bright light was about
half a mile away, according to the
farmers, and appeared to have fallen
in a swamp. 1t is believed this is
the missing bag from the Pensacola
naval air station.
Parties returning from the scene
where the supposed balloon was seen
on Friday night reported tonight
that the direction given by the
farmers would have sent the balloon
down in a dense swamp penetrable
only by aeroplanes. The commander
of the Pensacola air naval station
was notified of the incident today.
The story of bright lights that re-
quired thirty minutes to fall or go
down over the horizon was verified
by persons investigating.

FEAR |SEXPRESSED
FOR FRUIT CROP BY

Rain Monday night-cold wave

held cut Monday by the Atlanta

Washington forecast, which is %

desperate. There is a great cold
area in the middle west now, and
the area of high barometer is so
situated as to be practically certain
to sweep over the whole state of
Georgia.

morning was "a degrees. At the
same time, it was SO in Memphis, 26

and in ST. Paul. The Oklahoma
fruit crop was practically ruined,
anyway, and I suppose this freeze
just about finished it.
THE fruit crop in Georgia is very
far advanced for this time of year,
due to the lovely and treacherous
weather we have had. If the grow
ers have any means of protecting
the crop, such as smudges, they had
better plan to use them Tuesday
niGht. The rain fall will come Mon
day night, with falling thermom-
eter, and Tuesday night the cold
snap will arrive, with temperature
below freezing by Wednesday morn
ing. And there should be another
cold snap Wednesday night, too"
The prediction of this climatic
tragedy came with peculiarly de-
vastating effect on the heels of one
Of the loveliest Easter Sundays in
the meteorological history of the
city. The vivid blue of the sky was
broken only by the piles Of feecy
clouds that gave it an effect moth

venes in Covington.
Solicitor General A. NJ. Brand, OF

Monday morning that he is ready

a postponement on the ground that
he is busily engaged in the trial

cred very likely that Judge John b.
