BAT TIE
Fight for New Trial to Open Be-
fore Judge Roam Next We'd
nesday Morning.

The way was cleared Saturday for
the actual beginning of the fight over
the motion to give Leo NJ Frank, con-
victed of the murder of Mary Pha-
gan, a new trial. The battle will
open before Judge Roam Wednesday
with both sides primed for vigorous
contest in which charges against jul
rors accused of bias will play a large
part.
The defense, headed by Luther T.
Rosser, relies in large part on the
evidence showing that Juror A. II,
Henslee expressed violent animus to
Frank before the trial opened, win
ming a new trial for the prisoner.
Scores Of affidavits will be introduced
to uphold the character Of the wit
nesses who swear that Henslee said
he was sure Frank was guilty and
would like to see him hanged.
On the other hand the State will be
prepared TO assail a number of these
witnesses and will try to show
through Henslee himself that the SEN
timents against Frank were expressed
after the trial.
Will Exchange All Papers.
Wednesday, as had been announced
in The Georgian was formally fixed
for the opening of the arguments by
Judge Roam Saturday At the same
time the defense and State agreed to
exchange all new papers in the case
A number of important documents. It
is said, have not vet been made pub

In the discussion of the case Mr..
Rosser made the offer to exchange all
new affidavits for the new papers in
possession Of the State, and Solicitor
Dorsey agreed
While declaring that delay I'M
doubtedly would benefit their client,
Luther Rosser, for the defense, urged
that the motion be brought to
speedy hearing.
He pointed out that he had been
neglectiag his civil business for the
Frank case and said that if the fight
over the new motion were not dis
posed Of by Monday a week he would
have to ask that it be put over so
that he could take up some Of his
other work.
Roam Urges Haste.
If thai was impossible, he wanted
the case to be put over until De
cember
Judge Roam interrupted with the
remark that he was anxious to pass
on the case as quickly as possible
and would be against any delay until
December and the same sentiments
We're expressed by Solicitor Dorsey.
The Solicitor pointed out that he
had given every moment of his time
to preparing his answer to the lengthy
plea filed by the defense, and that he
would continue TO do everything to-
ward fastening the hearing

SMITH
HERE;TELLS
Of WORK
Senator Declares Money Measure
Will Pass, Despite Bitter OPP
position-Home for Rest.

Senator Hoke Smith, taking ad
vantage of a temporary lull in the
legislative work at Washington, is
at his home, No. 1877 West Peachtree
street, for weeks rest. His inter
est in number of the measures which
have been before Congress this seS-
sion has kept him busy, and he has
been awaiting the opportunity for a
few days in which he might get away
from the Capitol.
Senator Smith refused TO make any
comment upon the sensation which
has been stirred up by the amazing
charges OF Julian Hawthorne and Dr.
". ]. Morton In respect to conditions
in the Atlanta Federal Prison.
Ready to BaIk Delays.
Referring to the currency measure
for which he has been very active
Senator Smith said:
We are going to pass the curren-
cy bill before any other important
matter is permitted to occupy our at
tention. There are men on the floor
now who are prepared to estop any
effort to give any other mea sure
precedence, just as ! the other day
blocked a move to have certain
measure come UP on January I.
81 said that hoped and expected
the currency measure would be
passed and out of the way before
that time but that I wasn't going to
take any chances on having its
progress interrupted even Temporal
ri!y.
The bill now is in committee and
should reach the Senate between
November 10 and 20 l hope it will
be the earlier date.
"All of the fight oil the broad prin-
ciples of the bill has been aban-
doned Everyone is convinced of the
necessity of the government having
more of a hand in the expansion and
contraction of the national currency.
And they are agreed in a general way
as to the manner in which the new
undertaking of the government shall
be administered.
Details Are Important.
The only difference Of opinion is
on some OF the minor details, such
as exactly how the board to admins
ter the new law shall be made up.
Some would have more Cabinet off,
GERS on than others. Still others diff
fer on the total number OF members
that should constitute the board.
These details. while not affecting
the main principles OF the measure,
are by no means unimportant and
must be considered carefully.
1T is bound to be rather quiet in
Washington for a week or two, and
took this opportunity to come home
and get a good rest. I am not going
20 do anything but loaf until l take
the train back 10 the Capital My
return has no significance except to
mean that I'm going to take it easy
for a while"

Automobile Poker
Played By Motorists

Some one with q penchant for playing
poker has discovered a new diversion of
motoring and simple scheme to create
excitement while enjoying the beauties
of nature from a swiftly moving motor
car No longer is II necessary to sit in
all night or to seek a secluded room.
No cards. chips, coin or clink of glasses.
In automobile poker you merely use
YOUR eyes. Everything else Is auto
matte.
If you meet a 0ar whose passengers
seem to rivet their attention upon the
front end of your own car, do not be
alarmed or fearful-they're merely play
ing poker. This ie how Ii works: The
license plate usually has five numerals.
The ''0' is counted as ten. completing
the range of numbered cards from ace
to tenspot. The hand that Is dealt to
the first player is the license num-
ber of the first approaching car. The
car that is met or overtaken is the Sec
end players hand. and SO on.
OF course there will be no face cards
and no fiushes, hut II is possible to get
one pair, two pairs, three OF a kind,
straight. full house and four of kind
If a player happens to get a car with
less than hve numerals he awaits the
next car.
BY allowing State letters and colors to
represent face cards II is possible to
furnish the missing rank. but as this
played quickly it is usually limited to
numerals.
In the metropolitan territory and
other popular touring sections where
thousands Of cars scamper over the
highway the game of automobile poker
is not only swift and amusing, but full
of opportunity.

PRESSURE SCALE IS
TEST OF SPRINGS
Blows of MaIIet Give Final
Touch to Inspection Which
Insures Comfort.

I'm the inspection department of most
automobile factories there is a powerful
pressure scale connected to the over
head net work of belts and wheels, -
saws a Washington automobile dealer,
who recently returned from a trip to
Detroit and other motor centers. 1T is
automobile springs, and has proved an
important factor in the reduction of
automobile spring breakage.
"A man attendant. by means of this
powerful scale, subjects each spring to
even greater pressure than it will en-
counter in the finished car. By moving
a handy lever he can raise or lower the
horizontal table on which the spring is
carried. When raised the highest point
on the arch of the spring presses
against heavy lever. Then the spring
fattens out, and while submitting to
this pressure raises q heavy weight.
"A dial at the top Of the machine reg
listers the number Of pounds pressure to
which each spring is tested. In the
best factories every spring must test q
certain pressure. and Il 1t proves defec-
ly rejected. To further determine
whether the spring comes up to the
specifications of the engineering de-
partment, the attendant strikes it sew
eral blows with a mallet. This Is done
while the spring is under pressure, and
is equivalent to its receiving a severe
jolt when mounted in the finished car.
THE careful inspection Of all springs
entering automobiles explains their in
creasing freedom from breakage. Spring
testing is an important step in the pro-
cess of automobile production, and the
fact that the best inspection depart
ments are especially thorough in this
particular constitutes a valued argu-
ment for the modern automobile

CLEAN ROUTE IS
/ FAVOREDBY MOTORS
English Automobile Drivers Are
Ahead Of America in De-
manding Their Rights.

English motorists have recently un-
deTtaken task in which they might
well be initiated by their American
brethren, in the opinion of G. w. Ben
nett, vice president of the WilIys-over-
land Company. Toledo, Ohio. This is
the plan of making roads throughout
the British Isles, which are frequented
by automobilists more safe for travel,
not only in bettering the roadbed, but
in removing obstacles which prevent a
clear view at railroad crossings, curves,
and turns. Mr.. Bennett points out that
road betterment means not only the pro-
viding for q smooth and hard travelling
surface but the elimination of every
thing that might In any way cause an
oocident
'aThe English have shown a commend
able spirit Of progressiveness In clear
ing the turns and curves of their roads
Of objects that prevent a clear view," he
says British motoring publications
recently have called attention to the
good being done along this line. In two
instances / have noted very dangerous
curves have been made perfectly safe
by cutting down hedges and under
growth which prevented view of the
curve. Where heretofore tall hedges,
growing inside the curve, have made it
Accessible to tell what may be ap-
preaching from the opposite direction
an unobstructed vision has been obtain
ed merely by eliminating the obstruc-
tion. In one case the hedge was cut
down and a white-painted picket fence,
in direct contrast to the surrounding
vegetation colors. was built. With these
precautions motorists approaching the
curve from both directions are enabled
to tell at a glance whether the road is
clear beyond.
I'm our own country there are num-
berless opportunities for this excellent
work. Many of our country roads are
crossed at various angles by railroads,
and more often than not 1t is impossible
to tell whether a train or car Is ap-
preaching because of the growth of
brush or other distractions. In the
cities. too. there are scores of danger
Gus places. where bfllboards and other
unsightly objects are erected close to
the crossing or curve / am confident
that in the near future our great auto
mobile clubs will see the need for these
measures. And when the
work IL taken up the number of auto
mobile accidents will greatly decrease
