JAMES PLANNED TO HET1RF.. William F. James was appointed bat talion chief September 1, 1913, after hav tng served In tho lire department Blnce August 22, 1832. A Philadelphia!! by birth, he received rapid promotion. He was promoted to an assistant foremanshlp. which corresponded to what Is now a lieutenancy, April 11, 1694. On February 9, 1897, he was appointed foreman, or cap tain. James was ono of the most popular men In tho service and was known as an "A No. 1 fighter," one of the highest praises a fireman can glvo a fellow fire man. Ho planned to retire September 1, this year, two years from the dato he received his lost promotion. James, who was unmarried, was born October 11, 1S57. Ho lived at 2465 Amber street. A "amoko eater" wa3 the title which John Hlllman, Jr., earned from his fel lows for his daring during tho two years ho was In tho service. Ho was appointed ladderman November 22, 1913, and was de tailed to Truck No. 7, at 4th street and Qlrard avenue, which housed also Engine Company No. 29, to which his father, John Hlllman, was attached as fireman It waB his father's fato to go to tho same fire and to witness tho disaster which cost tho life of his son.

It was founded by Thomas Potter after he had left tho employ of tho Bush Hill Oilcloth Works. In 183S ho started In business on his own account, shortly after purchasing tho Bush Hill factory.

At this point Mrs. Hlllman could not control her voice, and her husband, who has been In the FIro Department for 30 years, Bald In broken tones that "he wished to God It had been htm instead of tho boy." Both tho father and son were stationed at Engine House No. 29, at 4th and Glrard avenue, tho father being a stoker. The little three-year-old boy, John 3d, all unconscious of his father's death, told visitors at tho Hlllman home this morn ing, In his baby lisp, that he, too, was colng to be a fireman when ho grew up to ae a big man. For several months tho wife of tho dead fireman has been In 111 health, suffering with anemia. In the opinion of Mrs. Hlllman, Sr., It will be necessary for her to g?t well very quickly. "For," sho said sadly, "she'll have to go out to work Just as soon as she can get something to do. Tho pension won't be enough to take caro of herself and tho two children." When Fire Chler Murphy was struck on tho head by a falling brick aa ho directed tho rescue work ho Ignored tho blow, al though for a moment It dazed him. The wound bled for some time. Chief Murphy was Injured about 4:30 o'clock. Four hours later he walked Into tho office of Director of Publlo Safety George D. Porter. His injury had not been treated. So great was the sorrow of Chief Murphy that ho forgot to remove his hat In the Director's ofllce, aa is customary. Ho turned In a report of the disaster and had turned to leave the ofllce when Di rector Porter noticed the blood on the back of his head. "What's the matter with you?" asked the Director. ..,.. Chief Murphy removed his hat. "A little scratch," ho said. The gash made by tho brick was four Inches long and penetrated to the skull. Reporters met the fire chief as he left the Director's office. He was crying silently, , .. . "Two of our men got mashed up in that fire and killed." he said. "They were in a position that looked safe and never expected that wall to fall. I was near by and I didn't hear anything, but the men closer to the wall said they heard a muffled explosion." Police Surgeon John Wanamaker, 3d, bandaged up the wound in Chief Murphy's head. Ho then went to firs headquarters.

ATLANTA, da., Juno 22 Governor Slaton was at his desk In tho Capitol again this afternoon. Ho mado tho trip from hla homo In an open automobile, but there was no hostile demonstration.

Among thoso who telegraphed were tho Governors of West Virginia nnd Kansas. Georgia's citizen soldiery nas In con trol of the situation resulting from the commutation ot tho sentence of Leo M. Frank, today. Frank was under sentenco of death for tho murder of 16-year-old Mary Phagan, employo of tho pencil fac tory of which Frank was superintendent. The sentenco was commuted to llfo Im prisonment. Tho mob spirit was almost spent. A battalion of the 6th Regiment had dispersed all demonstrations In the vicin ity of Governor Slaton's home. Tho sheriff had controt of the situation about tho State Prison Farm, where Frank Is confined. The remainder of the 6th Regi ment was held In reserve In tho armory ready for any service that might bo required.

All the city police are on duty. They havo been Instructed to keep all persons moving nnd to arrest all Intoxicated persons on sight. GOVERNOR'S HOUSE A FORT. Last night was ono ot tho moat critical In the recent history of Georgia. Throughout the afternoon crowds, mostly of the rougher clement, had been gather ing about the home of the Governor, a few miles outsido of Atlanta. Twenty county policemen, armed with riot guns, had been on duty about the place, while the Governor and a number of friends, all heavily armed, were In the house. After dark tho crowd was augmented by a largo number of Atlantans, who ar rived In automobiles. The men and half grown boys In the crowd at first con tented themselves with hooting and Jeer ing. As tho night wore along their tem per became more ugly. Finally ono of tho leaders mado a speech In which he urged that, as Frank had been spirited away, the crowd should hang the Gov ernor. With cries of. "Wo want Georgia's traitor Governor" In his ears, the Gov ernor telephoned to tho major command ing the 1st Battalion of the 5th Regi ment, which had been held In reserve at the armory. The troops wero rushed to the scene in automobile trucks that hud been In readiness, Bayonets were fixed and the troops thrown out to com mand the tract of half a mllo In front of the Slaton residence, which marked tho limit within which tha Governor de clared martial law. Tho mob was still ugly, apparently realizing that the Governor had Issued orders that no shots were to be fired except In tho last extremity. The throng stood fast in the face of the bayonets for a while. Finally It gave way and then showered the soldiers with stones. TP.OOPS CHARGE MOB. Obeying the command to charge with fixed bayonets, the soldiers dispersed tho mob, nnd small details of troops cleared tho neighborhood ot scattered parties of the crowd, driving them In all directions. For a time It looked a? though tho troops would have to Are, but at last tho mob dispersed. The troops then had more trouble with the people in the automobiles, who defied them for a time. It was early today before the last of tha mob had left the scene and the Governor could retire. While the State soldiers patrolled the grounds about Governor Slaton'a house today the Governor remained Indoors. With him were stveral of his close friends, all of v them armed and ready to repulse another mob, should It appear again In the nelghborhod of the country home. In Atlanta today hundreds of plain clothes policemen and uniformed officers mingled with the crowds on tha streets, and with tho mounted police clattering along tha principal streets, dis persed every kind of street gathering.

HEPVBLWAN OUTLOOK CHANGED BY DECISION Continued from Tare Ono Inee for Congress In )91i Is not less than ttOO. As n result of the adoption of this rec ommendation, the delegation from Ala bama would be reduced by , Arkahsas by S, Florida 4, Georgia 11, Louisiana, 8, Mississippi 8, New York 2, North Caro lina 3, South Carolina T, Tennessee 3, Texas 18, Virginia 8, Hawaii 4, Porto Rico 2 and the Philippine Islands 1 Ot these States Mississippi, South Caro lina, Louisiana, North Carolina, Alabama, Virginia and Georgia aro directly affected by tho Supreme Court decision and may be entitled to additional representatives nt tho Republican National Convention, In 1516, while Maryland and Oklahoma, which were to lose no representatives at the convention, will bo entitled to addi tional delegates, ns they also had "grand father clauses" In their constitutions. THE OKLAHOMA CASE. In acting Upon the Oklahoma problem, the Supremo Court held tho questioned provision In the Constitution Invalid on the ground that, although the Constitu tion of tho Stato provided for a literacy test for all voters, It Infringed upon the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States by setlng forth, On the objectionable "grandfather clause," a condition prerequisite to vot ing. Tho only difference between this clause and that embodied In the An-napoll-. Constitution Is that the latter substituted a $300 property ownership qualification for the literacy test. Tho Constitution of Oklahoma contains the typical "grandfather clause" as adopted by tho eight other Southern States employing It to dlsenfranchlso the Negro. It follows: "No person shall be registered as an elector of this Slate or bo allowed to voto In any election herein, unless he be ablo to read anil write any section of thrt Constitution of the Stato of Oklahoma; but no person who was, on January 1, 1866, or at any time prior thereto, en titled to vote under any form of govern ment, or who at that time resided In some foreign nation, nnd no lineal descendant of such person, shall be de nied the right to register and vote be cause of his Inability to so read nnd write sections of such constitution." In handing down the decision annulling tho "grandfather clause" Chlet Justice White said: "We aro unable to discover how, unless tho prohibition of the 15th Amendment wero considered, the sllghcst reason was afforded for basing the classification upon a period of tlmo prior to tho 15th Amend ment. Certainly It cannot be said that there wan any peculiar nccromany In tho time named which engendered at tributes affecting the qualification to vote which would not exist at another and different period unless the 15th Amend ment was In vlow."
