Little Frances Peck Wins Bat
tic With Stubborn Soil and
Grows PinkS.

group of pinks. rows of nasturtiuns
and violets. lilies and clrysanthemums
are living today on a bald red hill in
the Edgewood school yard. They are
fresh and radiant as flowers should be
They look glad to be alive.
In the school house are rows upon
rows of human pinks and violets At
noon time the the twain meet and talk
TO each other in some kind of language
One of these little violets is Frances
Peck, the ten-year- old daughter of w
T. Peck. When, under the direction Of
Miss Ora Stamps, the principal Of
Edgewood school, the children began to
plant seeds several months ago, little
Frances wanted to know why pinbs
weren't being planted. The opinion was
ventured by some one that pinks could
not survive in such hard soil. But the
fearful injunctions Of Frances prevailed
and pinks were planted, every one be
lieVing, however, that they would die
Frances Wins Struggle.
But Frances was a mother to the lit
tie flowers. Long before they showed
their heads above the soil she nursed
and coddled them. Each day she coaxed
and pleaded with the tiny bed and one
day it seemed to soften and tiny sprig
of green appeared A little while and
the lacelike flower was out
Frances had won.
This same diligence brought out the
vioets and the colius and the nasturti-
ums nd yesterday the children of the
Edgewood school realized the extent Of
their work when they were presented
with 500 by Walter Rich for having
attained the most beautiful yard Of all
the schools in Atlanta.
At II o'clock the children gathered in
front OF the school ON the right there
was phalanx of bright eyed little
girls, white those of the sturdier sex
gathered to the left. all listening to
what superintendent William NJ Sla-
ton, Walter Rich, Mrs. Joseph n. Moody
and others OF the committee had to say.
Sometimes the speeches went a little
over their heads. for the grown up peo-
pie used 2 surprising lot Of big words
But their appreciation was unbounded
No speaker lacked for applause. IN
fact. the tiny hands nearly wore them
selves out with such generous hand
clapping.
Choice Hard to Make.
The speakers told them that they
were fine children. that in their eyes
was a residue Of heaven, and that their
souls were reflected in the rows and
groups of beautiful flowers which now
fourished in the school wards It was a
great pity, said the speakers, that child
hood could not stay with them forever.
yet the world would lose much valuable
service if that were to come about.
After Mr. Rich had handed to Miss
Stamps the envelope in which was con-
tanned the 800 prize. the children got
together and gave a prolonged cheer for
MI Rich, FOR the committee. for the
teacher. for the rain and for the sun

Nothing to Confess

Los ANGELES. May 25.-CIarence
Darrow SAID today in reply to state
ments made by General Harrison Gray
Otis:
u have nothing whatever to confess
to in this case. There has never been
any conversation with anybody in re-

thing. It - palpably unfair chat such
statements should be made at this time
for the purpose of preJudicing the

ground that it is unreasonable, promi-

have made protests to the secretary of

AT THE EMPIRE

The large audience at the Empire
last night saw Bob Fftzsimmons, for
mer worlds champion fighter, in ac-
ton, the big fellow taking William Ga
bel on for three rounds. Bill is one
scrapper himself, but of course he
would have little show against the
lanky Australian, If the latter wanted
to display any of his real goods. The
audience was kept in a constant roar
of laughter during the exhibition by
the antics of Bob, who finally took the
count at the end of the third. In a
neat speech he said he had been fairly
vanquished, but he felt that he was en-
titled to another chance, thus carrying
out the stereotyped comeback talk OF
the modern ring artist. There are -four
new acts for the remainder of the
week, and as a whole, it is one of the
strongest bills yet seen at the Empire

dou, the dramatist who never wrote
failure, devoted all his magical tech
nique for two years to writing cos
tune comedy of the Napoleonic period,
which would show the conqueror of
Europe as a man who laughed and
played as well as warred. He gave
Rejane a madcap role, for Rejane is a
riotous coincidence who exhausts ev-
cry resource of the body to secure
her startling staccato effects. She de-
ponds less on speech than any other
great actress of the time and as a re-
suit she is the ideal artistic for the
motion play. Her success in Madame

continent and delighted both Ameri-
cas- The sparkling comedy deals de-
lightfully with great personages and
is given gripping interest by the ever
appearing figure of Napoleon Bona
parte, the man of destiny, whose star
at this period was in its highest
heaven. Rejane and Sardou are the
ideal combination for the photo-play.
Sardou was renowned for powerful
scenes and irresistible climaxes, while
Rejane portrays her roles with the pre-
cision of statuary. Hence the pictures
startle by their expressiveness. Paris
and London love this photo-play and
great poet has written sonnet dedi

Camera" which has certainly captured

1t was evidently his intention to hang
himself out of the window, and he
had climbed upon the window sill, but
