The speakershir race generally 's

by such excellent gentlemen as

Tax reform Is the one big topic Of
legislation discussed most generally.
1t seems agreed on all sides that the
State must have more revenue or let
its various institutions lag woefully.
There is an ever-increasing demand
for more money in all directions and
the State has been running ahead of
its income for several years. The tax
rate can not be raised above mills,
and mills on present asse ssments
Will not produce the revenue needed.
Various special meas ures for in
creasing the revenue have been pro-
posed, such as an inheritance tax, \
graduated automobile tax, and SO

to get all varieties of property UP TO
where each may bear its righteous
portion of the burden of taxation.

At the police station Conley was
waiting in the reception room.
As soon as the Slower girl entered
the room he jumped to his feet. ex-
claiming:
That's her; that's her" Then the
negro surveyed her wearing apparel
She's dressed just as she was that
day, only she hasn't got on her easy

The girl was wearing leather slip
pers. Later she said she had worn
easy walkers" or tennis shoes, when
she went to the pencil factory, as the
negro had said.
The negro's identification of the
Slower girl proves, apparently, beyond
a doubt that he was in the factory
building at the time he said in his
affidavit. Beyond sustaining that
statement, though, no further support
to the prosecutions case against
Frank is shown by it.
Solicitor Dorsey returned to At
lanta Sunday afternoon from a weeks
vacation in New York. He called a
conference with his assistants, E. A.
Stephens and F. A. Hooper, at his
home Sunday evening. Following it
he announced that he would be ready
for trial on June 80 and that unless
the defense or the trial Judge moved
to have the trial postponed he would
commence at once summoning wit
nesses and getting ready,
Solicitor Dorsey would not discuss
the return to Atlanta of Mrs. Nina
Formby and her announcement that
she would go on the stand against
Frank. He intimated, however, that
he entertained the same opinion as
had already been expressed by his as
sistant, Mr.. Hooper, that when the
woman left Atlanta she dropped from
the case entirely
Attorney John w. Moore denied en-
phatically that he had been employed
in the case with L. y. Rosser and
Reuben r. Arnold to defend Frank,
as was reported by Solicitor Dorsey.
Moore Not Employed.

case and have no other interest in

Frank is innocent, and have since he
was first drawn into the. case, but |

Solicitor Dorsey opened court in the
Thrower building Monday morning
for a week of criminal trials to clear
the jail docket. He will be in court
every day until Saturday, and will
have to depend on his assistants to
summon witnesses and prepare the
Frank case in the event of 1t being
set for the following week.

SOFIA, June 23.-Bulgarta to day
withdrew its recent acceptance OF
Car Nicholas proposal to arbitrate
the territorial dispute between this
country on one side and Servia and
Greece on the other. This may mean
that Russias attempt to prevent a
fresh conflict in the Balkans will
prove futile.
The Bulgarian press is bitterly hos
tile against Russia, charging that the
Russian Government is secretly en-
couraging Servia and Greece to take
aggressive measures.
Official newspapers declare that
Servia- Greece and Montenegro have
entered into a secret league to strip
Bulgaria OF all the possible spoils of
