WATCHES FRANK
HOOPER IN FRANK TRIAL
Former Solicitor of Southwestern Circuit Attracts At
tenton in Atlanta

Hooper, who seemed to be as thorough.
ly acquainted with the pencil factory
premises as the man who built it, car
ried his point completely.
First, he had become established
from a point of personal appearance
which, if it was overlooked in the first
paragraph, is as much like states
man as an actor, author or lecturer.
Then as a student of law a speech
maker, debator, and now the aud
fence dared to applaud in court
room as praise of his cross-fire ability.
Thus came Frank Hooper from what
might be called the obscurity of cor
poration counsel into the glazing, daz-
cling limelight of associate prosecuting
attorney in a states biggest murder
trial.
In south Georgia, where big murder
cases are frequent, no trial was COM
pleted without the presence of Frank
Hooper Seventeen of his forty-siy
years were spent in the role of prose
cutting attorney. His home, for the
greater part of this time, was in Am-
CIRCUS, where he was solicitor general
of the southwestern circuit from 1896
to 1907.

The trial OF Leo Frank for the mul-
der of little Mary Phagan, whose body
was found in the National pencil fac
tory in Atlanta is attracting attention
all over the state. But the people OF
Americas are especially interested in
the trial as an Americas attorney is
figuring prominently on the side of the
state. Frank A. Hooper who is as
sisting silicitor Dorsey in the prosecu-
ton of Frank was for eleven years
solicitor of the southwetern circuit
with Americas as his headquarters.

Dorsey Secures Hooper.

When Solicitor Hugh Dorsey faced
the task of prosecuting Leo NJ. Frank
he set about to find colleague worthy
of the undertaking. He selected FRANK
Hooper, a well-known corporation at

The Atlanta public, which as rule
keeps in touch with only the spectac-
ular cases, wondering at the choice, in
quired who is Hooper?
The solicitor stood sponsor for his
man, and consulted the parents of
Mary Phagan on his choice. Mr. and
Mrs. Coleman put the brand of ap.
prevail upon him the moment they saw
him, and Frank Hooper was entered as
associate counsel
The public speculated considerably,
as the public is prone to do, and wait-

What is SAUCE FOR THE GOOSE,
ETC.

The city is now engaged in a little
controversy which might easily prove
serious if not disastrous. Some time
ago the city commission, at the request
of John Schultz and Joseph Wickert.
caused to be made a survey, by the
city engineer, of that part of Kelly
avenue lying between Fourth and Fifth
streets, with a view to ascertaining
the exact boundary and position of a
lot on which Messrs. Schultz and Wick
ert proposed to erect brick business
block. The survey brought to light the
startling fact that the Colonial hotel,
owned by Mr.. E. F. Flynn, one of the
commissioners, was about eighteen
inches in the street and also about sew
en- inches over on the lot owned by
Schultz and Wickert.
The commission insisted that if
Schultz and Wickert erected their
building, it must be set back on the
lot far enough to clear the street line,
and this would make it eighteen in.
ches further back than the Flynn
block. This would not only make an
unsightly jog in the street line but
would handicap the proposed new
building in the matter Of show win
dows, etc.
Messrs. Schultz and Wickert say
that they are perfectly willing to
build back of wherever the city en-
gineer determines the street line to be,
but are going to insist if this is done,
that Mr.. Flynn also get back with his

WHAT A FARCE!

The decision of the district court in
the case of B. J. Ness, in which he
was found guilty of attempted bribery
and sentenced to pay fine of $500
or to serve thirty days in Jail is in
our humble opinion, a farce and a ira
vesty on justice. We have no preju-
dice in the matter at all. We very
much dislike to see an innocent man
convicted of a crime. But the crime
of which Mr.. Ness was convicted is
one Of the most serious catalogued in
the penal code. It is a crime which,
persisted in, would attack aud even
tually destroy the whole fabric of
government, and even of civilization.
We are not arguing that Ness should
have been given heavier sentence.
We do not know even now, after he
has ben convicted and sentneced, whe-
ther or not he was guilty of the crime
charged, and we venture to state that
there are not dozen men in the
whole state of Norh Dakota who have
been able to pick out from the whole
mass Of evidence enough to either con.
Wet or acquit him.
But we do believe that either Ness
received too much or else not enough.
Either he was guilty or he was not.
If guilty he should have been made
to pay the penalty. II innocent he
should have been exonerated of even
the stigma Of an attempt to commit
q crime.
Can It be possible that Ness has
been made "goat" to save the face

cHEcKMAr1Ne BEEF TRUST.

Australia seems to ofer hope for
relief from the exactions Of the "meat
trust,'' a third cargo of beef, mutton
and veal having arrived in San Fran
cisco, Thursday. The representatives
Of the Australian cattle growers gives
the cheering news that those he re-
presents are prepared to ship all kinds
of meats to the United States, which
can be transported to this country, and
sold considerably below the prices ex-
acted by the beef trust. e...,.. 1.
Perhaps the beef trust overlooked
its hand in not getting control of the
cattle industry in Australia. Argen-
tina was invaded, however, this being
the nearest great source Of supply,
but the action of the Australian grow.
ers has pipped the Argentina plot in
the bud.
Five years ago the American beef
trust entered Buenos Ayres, buying
two large establishments and many
smaller ones. It is charged that an
agreement was made with the local
concerns to limit the shipments n+
meats to England, but that the new
corners broke this agreement and arc
underse]ling the native companies
abroad at loss to make them sell out
so that absolute control may be secur.
ed by the trust. A bill to limit TIE
killing Of beef for export has been pre-.
pa:"d and, it is said, will be passed
BIZ the Argentina congress this week.
Trusts have reached their highest
state Of perfection in this country and
the beef combine is applying methods
elsewhere that were so successful here
Other cattle producing countries will
not be SO lenient as this country ha.
been, and in this lies the hope of 8
reduction in meat prices.

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS BRIGHT

The movement radiating from the
recent rehabilitation conference Of
Republicans is having a good effect,
and every indication is that it will
be successful in bringing about the
reforms necessary in the leadership
of the Republican party and getting
the voice of the masses of the voters
to be the dominating factor in the
party. This means union of all
honest Republicans, irrespective of
the question as to whom they may
have voted for in 1912, and it also
means the repossession by the Repub
lican party of the national govern
ment four years hence, with vigor-
GUS progressive and clean handed
policy that will rebound to the bene-
fits Of the nation.
Senator Sherman of Illinois who
presided, has appointed as the COM
mittee to present to the National
Commission of the republican party
the statement and desires of the re-
cent Chicago conference, Senator Cum
minis of Iowa, Ex-Governor Herbert 8.
Hadley of Missouri, Senator Coe I.
Crawford Of South Dakota, Senator
W. L. Jones of Washington, Represen-
tative Louis G. Cramton of Michigan,
and Sidney Anderson of Minnesota,
and also John J. Rogers of Massa-
chusetts, author of the plan to reduce
southern representation in Republican
national conventions.
These gentlemen will present the re.
suits and the desires of the Chicago
conference and what is believed to be
the desires of the real Republicans to
the National Republican Committee,
which meets in Chicago today. It Is
to be hoped that Committee will act
favorably, and national convention
will be called this year to change the
representation from the south, provide
for recognition by the national con.
vention Of 1916 Of, primary elected
delegates and national committeeman
and also to provide that the national
committeeman elected in 1916 shall
take their places at the assembling of
the convention and pass upon and pro-
vide for the temporary organization
and the credentials Of all delegates,
so that the new committeeman coming
fresh rom the people shall control the
primary work of the convention, in
stead of the old and outgoing COM
mittee.-Fargo Forum.
