I., JuneJO The attacks vtpon the testimony of witnesses at that Coroner Norton would be forced to reverse Jiis" decision and order the release of- Mrs. FlorenceCarman next Monday, when she will appear before him in a preliminary hearing of a charge of having murdered Mrs. Bai ley. This prediction Is further bolster ed up, according to Mrs.v Carman's cqunsel, her husband and friends, by the fact that District Attorney Smith yesterday practically admitted the State's case was weak, when he sought to secure postponement of the preli minary hearing until a week from Monday. The District, Attorney, how ever; regards the case as much strong ex than when the arrest was made and it is said the authorities have in re serve evidence which they believe will prove more damaging that that already produced.

Union Suits 1 VVARfil POIITICS GEORGIA I Atlanta, Ga.,Juiy io Joseph Brown's announcement 5 Ms candidacy for thev United States .senate to succeed Hoke Smith has set the political fire works in Georgia to snapping and siz zling at a furious rate." For'some time past tho campaign for the governor ship and the short-term' senatorship has furnished some more or less in teresting skirmishes, . hut it. remained 1 for Joe Brown, twice governor of the State and a past : master at the game of politics, to ' prime and adjust the heavy artillery that, will assure a gen uine battle- .With the announcement of his candidacy the campaign begins in earnest. vVlying flags, brass bands, stump speakers, straw votes, and all the other ancient and honored appurt enances will beon the job from now until the polls close on primary day. With two senatorships and a gov ernorship to fill, the forthcoming sum mer primaries will constitute the hot test contested election in the hisory of the State. Interest now centers largely in the fieht of Hoke Smith for re-election, though until very recently it appeared that there would be no one of importance to contest his re turn to the senate. The situation as it then appeared was without aparal-j lei in the history of Georgia politics. In the past Hoke Smith had been obli gated to fight for everything he ever ceived from. Georgia, with more than one defeat chalked up against him. but this time he appeared to be con sidered so strong that he would be returned virtually without opposition. A few weeks ago, however, it be- came apparent to the political wise- . i .i . acres that Brown was getting ready to run for something. This was evi-i '.!.. - . -i ... - . I. dewced by a renewal vt his long stand-j ihg.war on, the 4abw unions-.-.But even! then it ,tyas"? supposed thttvhe would come out as a candidate for the short- term senatorship, to fill out the un- J expired term of the late Senator Ba-1 con. .put mere. were several reasons why the former Governor preferred to tackle Hoke Smith for the long- term seiiatorship rather than enter the free-for-all race for the short term. The principal of these reasons prob ably lies in the fact that Brown is the leader at the anti-Smith faction and would' rather defeat Smith for re-elec tion than' stumble into a gold mine. The presence of Governor Slaton among the entries in the shortterm contest also -probably influenced Brown In entering the long-term con test. Slaton has always been a close friend and political ally of Brown. In adopting his present course - Brown will at least have a chance of killing two birds with one stone a chance to even up accounts with Hoke Smith and at the same time aid his friend Slaton in his contest for the short- term, v In addition to Governor Slaton there are three active candidates for the unexpired term of Senator Bacon They are Congressman . Thomas , . W Hardwick, former Attorney General T. B. Felder and John R. Cooper, a prominent attorney of Macon. Th winner of the contest will serve from the date of the November election un til March 4th, 1919, at which time the six-year term of Senator Bacon would have expired. For the Eovernorship. tnere is a genuine contest, wit.h the winner much in doubt. Among the active candi dates at present are William J. Har ris, late Director of the United States Census; Judge Nat S. Harris, of Ma con; J. Randolph Anderson, of Sa vannah, and Judge L. G. Hardman, of Commerce. Another, possible entry, and a formidable figure, Is Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, of Atlanta. Mr. Dorsey "was the prosecuting attorney in the'case of Leo Frank, the young factory superintendent How under con viction and sentence of death for lit tle' Mary.. Phagan, Dorsey's successful work in this case has made him some thing vof a popular idol, particularly among the people of the rural districts. For many weeks his mail has been flooded with letters from his admirers urging hhn to get into the gubernator ial race and promising him the sup port' of the writers. So far Mr. Dor sey has hot disclosed his intentions in the matter. At the .present time his name' is familiar to every person in Georgia . and should he enter tbe contest for the governorship, he doubt- ess woulcklihish the race close to the ORDlii til American War Correspondent Violated The Govern ment's Rules. his mm REVOKED And Secretary of War?

It was predicted here that this con centration would take place at Celaya, eight hours from Mexico City. This, is the junction point of the railroads from Guadalajara, Aguascalientes and San Luis Potosi. Before arrival of the armies there two or three strongly fortified towns must be captured from the Federals. To March On the Next City.
