and Miss Grace Hicks, the girl who
first identified the dead body as that
Of Mary Phagan.
The defense has persistently ridi-
culed the stories OF Jim Conley and
characterized them as cunning fabri-
cations to shift the blame on Franks
! shoulders.
With he other affidavits, which for
the most part are given credenee by
the defense. the attempt will be mere
ly to show that the evidence which
the prosecution holds to point toward
the guilt Of Frank only more firmly
fixes it upon the shoulders Of the
negro sweeper, and that the State
from time to time has shifted the
ground on which it based its theory
that Frank was guilty.
Hooper Calls Move a Trick.
Frank A. Hooper, associated with
Solicitor Dorsey in the prosecution,
branded the move Of the defense as a
thinly yelled trick to impeach the tea-
timony of the witnesses called by the
State, and said that it was not at all
unlikely that the subpenaes would be
resisted.
He intimated his belief that 1t was
the intention of the defense to use
the affidavits as a comparison with
the testimony of the afiants when
took the stand In an effort to pick our
every discrepancy and thus seek to
discredit the witnesses.
Before the conference between
Judge Roam and the attorneys on the
opposing sides began in the after
noon, the Judge announced that ne
would be the one who would set the
date for the trial, after consulting
the convenience of the attorneys.
He said that he desired to preclude
the possibility that the case would be
called for June 80 and the witnesses
summoned and then one or another of
the attorneys ask for a postponement.
He expressed it as his purpose to
carry the case through to its compile
ton once it was started,
The judge said that he Una not oe-
lieve 1t right, in view OF the warm
weather, to call an umber of witnesses
and then delay the case further He
said that after the attorneys on the
two sides had been heard he would
set the date himself
Arnold Not Decided
Reuben Arnold, one Of the attorneys
for the defense, said that ne did not
see how the defense could make any
definite agreement on the date at this
time, becaus Of the possible contin-
gencies that might arise before the
trial Solicitor Dorsey has announced
that heswas prepared to go ahead with
the trial al any time.
That Leo NJ Frank viii go at once
on trial for his life next Monday when
he is brought before the court on the
charge of strangling little Mary Pha-
gan was the strong probability dis
eussed in court circles Tuesday.

Seeress Disappears
With Macon Jewels

MACON, June 24,--Madame Thei-
ma, who has been in Macon for several
months, advertising and practieing
as fortune teller and seeress,
has suddenly and mysteriously disap-
peared. Jewels and other valuables Of
patrons worth several thousand dol
lars are also missing. She told her
customers to let her sleep over their
jewels for two nights and she would
be better able to tell their fortunes.
Private detectives have been en-
ployed to locate the woman, with the
view of prosecuting unless she re-
turns the valuables.

Judge Roam. however. had called a
conference OF the attorneys on both
sides Of the case for 2 o'clock in the
afternoon, when he announced that he
would set the date definitely after the
attorneys had been given an oppor-
tunity to say whether or not their
cases would be in shape to present if
the trial were called the last of this
month.
Plan to Use Same Evidence.
The startling move on the part NJ
the defense was taken to mean that
Franks lawyers propose to use to free
their client the very evidence the de-
teetives and Solicitor General have
collected to send him to the gallows.
The most significant demand Is
made upon Chief Beavers, who is
commanded to bring into court the
famed series of aff1davits made bv the
negro sweeper, Jim Conley. 1t is evil

Cant You imagine how he could nave put

will OF those to whom he appeals? Suppose
he had said that he was anxious to get
ahead and make a place for himself In the
world. but that appreciat!ng the self-de

order to let him have little longer period
OF schooling he wished TO do something FOR
them in return. With this end in view he
would like the opinion OF the constituency
as to the proportion OF his income he was
Justified in putting aside for himself. The
expenses OF the family were heavy, their
debts a burden he lorged to tighten 20 far

Training in Domestic Science.

Since domestic science as household eco

I have made It a constant study and for
five years have used every effort towards
putting such branches into our school cur
riculum. Domestic science has become a
study in the schools in all the largest

1t will be IN all our grades. l am

of home making where 1t would do the
greatest good.
The art OF cooking is a necessary part
Of the education of the homemakers. You

training necessary to efficiency and thus

law the minors earnings may belong 10 the

force this? How much shall the sons and
