ASK FOR DELAY
IN FRANK CASE
information From ValdOsta Is That
Solicitor Needs Week More
of Preparation.
HENSLEE IN CONFERENCE
Juror Under Fire Declares His
Visit to South Georgia Was
Unimportant.

That Solicitor General Hugh N.
Dorsey viii ask for stU further
postpUnement Of the hearing Of the
motion for a new trial for Leo NJ.
Frank, convicted Of the murder of
Mary Phagan. when it is called be-
fore Judge l. S. Roam on next Sat
urday, October Is, is indicated by in
formation received in Atlanta Sat
urday night from NaldoSta, where he
and his assistant. A. r stephens, are
working on the answer to the de-
lenses lengthy petition for new
trial
Solicitor Dorsey issued a positive
statement that he will require at least
another week in which to complete
his answer and expresses doubt that
he Will be able to have his case ready
by next Saturday. Both he and Mr.
Stephens have been working on the
case twelve and fifteen hours day,
and Solicitor Dorsey said this hard
work would be necessary up until the
time of the hearing
He said he had made more rapid
progress than he would have been
able to make had he undertaken the
preparation of his case in Atlanta
but even under these fNorable cir
CumstanCes hardly expects to com
plete his work within another week
There was nothing in Judge Roan's
ruling Saturday, in which he post
poned the hearing for another week
which excludes the possibility of a
still further delay, and ID Is thought
that further time will be granted the
Solicitor should he request il. The
execution of Frank Is stayed auto
matically by the order delaying the
hearing
Juror A. II. Henslee. who was so
violently attacked by the defense in
its motion for "A new trial, spent sat
urday in NaldOsta, and was Closcted
for several hours with the Solicitor
II is thought that deep significance
attaches 10 the visit, although Hen
slice would give out no inkling of
what his conversation with the So
licitor General was. He stated that
he had dropped into Valdosta on his
accustomed trip To- the town, and thai
his conference with the Solicitor was
merely Incidental
Henslee, while in Valdosta, reiter-
ated his innocence OF the charges
brought against MIN by the defense
In its motion, and stated that he was
absolutely unprejudiced one way or
the other before the trial His state
ments regarding Franks guilt he
said, were made after the trial. when
he thought he had right 10 talk.

SOCIAL WORKERS IN
ATLANTA; ORGANIZE
SOCIETY AT MEETING

Atlanta today has an organized band
OF social workers. The combination
was effected last night at a meeting
of social workers i'll Carnegie library,
who, after adopting the name THE
Atlanta Social Service club elected
the following officers: w. W. Tindall,
president; Miss Daisy Eckert. vice
president; II. j. Heyman, secretary and
an executive committee composed of
the officers and Miss Appleyard, su-
perintendent of the Martha home; Miss
Lottie Pennespeck and Philip Weltner,
secretary Of the prison association.
Sentiment for such an organization
crystalized in an address by w. Woods
White. who said:
There is nothing this city needs so
much as an organization which will
bring the social workers in frequent
touch with one another Experts here
in that line have never made a col
lective showing, yet such a showing is
vital to the highest development of the
city's philanthropies"
j. f. Mccullough, secretary Of the
sociological congress, addressed the
meeting, outlining the Southern social
agencies.

RACE SEPARATION
IN POPULARFAvOR
Councilman AShIey'S Proposal
Indorsed-O Ordinance Ready
for Monday.

Councilman Claude l.. Ashley's pro-
posal to segregate the white and negro
races in Atlanta has aroused strong
support, especially in the eastern sec
ton of the city, where there are no
definite lines of demarcatiOn and nu-
merous efforts to separate the races
have proved futile.
While former similar movements
have been abandoned because of oppo-
sitiOn from negroes, who pleaded that
such a plan would inspire race preju-
dice, and from property owners who ar
gued pecuniary damage, Councilman
Ashley declared today he would force
the issue to point because OF the sue
cess of like ordinances in Baltimore
and Richmond.
The supreme court OF Maryland has
held the Baltimore law to be consti-
tutional. Councilman Ashley said it
did not interfere with constitutional
rights any more than the Jim Crow"
laws governing public utilities.
Charles P. Glover. president OF the
Atlanta Real Estate Exchange, said he
would not speak officially. but that he
personally thought it was a good move
and that such a law would increa SO
realty values in both white and negro
sections.
Councilman Ashley has already re-
ceived pledges of support from num-
Der Of councilmen. He will present his
ordinance Monday. providing that a
majority of the residents in any city
block shall determine whether that
block shall be inhabited exclusively by
white people or negroes by petitioning
the building inspector. Servant houses
in the rear of residences are excepted.

INCOURT CONTEMPT

The probability of Alderman A II
VanDyke being hailed before the supe-
rior court for contempt for his attack
yesterday on Judge George L. Ben and
the superior court judges generally was
rumored today in court circles.
Judge Bell. when seen, declined to
say what action would be taken. He
would not deny the report that DR..
VanDyke would be summoned to court
That he has the matter under consid
Grafton there Is little doubt.
Judges Pendleton and Ellis, the re-
naming two superior court judges. are
absent from the city.
DR.. VanDybe's attack on the courts
grew out of the injunction against the
city granted by Judge Bell in the Han
jaras pool room controversy, the city
being restrained from interfering with
the operation of the poolroom. per-
init had been refused Hanjaras.
The alderman asserted Judge Bell
granted the injunction without inves
tigating the facts. He also charged
that the superior court judges general
y were not UNFOLDING the city laws
