After the rise of the Teutonic order
Danzig became a part of its great ter
ritory. though reserving large share
of self.government; 1t was at the same
time an independent member of the
powerful Hansa league-that supreme
example OF civic and commercial pow
er. 1t Joined its sister cities OF the
league very effectively In fighting for
eign nations and pirates against its
commerce. When 1t tired of subjec-
tion to the waning Teutonic order. it
entered into a sort of protectorate un-
der the kings of Poland, who annexed
1t in 1869. Only as late as 1898 was it
taken into Prussia, and 1t is now the
capital of the west Prussian region.
The town is very compact and prac-

FRANK IS WILLING

Cross-Examine.

Surprising in interest any Of the
other testimony at the trial of Leo NJ.
Frank will be the story related on the
stand by the accused man himself.
That Frank will make detailed
statement of his movements on the
day that Mary Phagan was murdered
is regarded as one of the certaintles
of the trial.
1t was learned Wednesday that
Frank was DESTROYS of going even fnr-
Their than this by being sworn ana
submitting to a dissemination by
the attorneys for the prosecution. He
will request his lawyers, Luther q.
RosSer and Reuben r. Arnold, that
the privilege of cross examination De
extended the State
The defense consistently has re-
fused to divulge any of the details OF
its plans for the trial and for this
reason it is impossible to say posi-
lively that Frank will be cross exam
ined. That it is not at all improb-
able, however. is indicated oy the
readiness with which Mr.. Rosser per-
mitted Frank to go before the Coro-
ners inquest and answer every ques-
ton that was propounded TO him.
Il was so convinced of his inno-
cence," said Mr.. Rosser at that time,
that didn't hesitate an instant in
giving consent to any sort Of an eH-.
animation that they might give him.
As grueling and searching as was
the inquisition before the Coroner's
Jury. the ordeal at the trial will be
much more severe At the in
quest Frank was Intercepted by
Coroner who was merely seeking
enough evidence to warrant the hold

Hard Fight Made.

display Of the present session.

forceful and eloquent speeches in be-
half Of the members whose seats
were challenged Slater Of Bryan.
Hardeman Of jefferson and Black
burn Of Fulton were equally as in
sistent upon unsoating them. For two
hours Wednesday the debate ragged.
This is the first case Of the kind
ever thrashed out In the Georgia
Legislature. and IL undoubtedly will
affect the many new county prop
ositions profoundly
Such new ones as are admitted at

under conditions radically different
from those prescribed for Wheeler

The two counties denied representa-

present difficulty. At the present SEES

representatives. from Montgomery
