habeas corpus until Monday. He

Solicitor Dorsey left for his coun-

morning. He will return Monday.
Solicitor General Hugh NJ. Dorsey
will ask the courts to hold the negro
as a material witness for the State
or may charge him with being an
accessory. He was determined Fri
day to take no chances on so impor-
tant witness getting out Of his con-
troll, as he feared the negro might
get beyond the jurisdiction OF the
courts If given his liberty.
Attorney Chappen and Solicitor
Dorsey had agreed, when the negro
was committed to jail, to keep him
there until the trial. Chappell noti-
fed Dorsey Wednesday that he
wished to withdraw from the agree
ment and get his client freed.
Chief Discounts Coney Rumor.
The announcement Friday that the
defense had secured an important and
damaging affidavit that connected the
States star witness, Jim Conley, more
directly with the crime created a
sensation in the ranks of the prosecu-
ton.
Chief of Detectives Newport A.
Lanford announced that every move
ment of the negro on the day of the
crime had been checked up" and
that 1t was matter of impossibility
to find anything more damaging
against him than his admission that
he helped dispose of the body at the
request Of Frank
In commenting on the affidavit Sc
cured at the office of Joseph H. Lea
witt Thursday the attorney said that
1t would be almost impossible for the
prosecution to break down any state
ment that was made in the affidavit
when the witness was placed on the
stand.
Calls Evidence Vital.
He said the witness was a citizen
of high standing and would be one OF
the most important for the defense of
Frank
Attorney Leavitt said that this par
ticular affidavit was one of more than
so that had been recently secured that
dealt almost exclusively with the
movements of the negro on the day
of the murder While he would not
comment at any length, he intimate d
that the defense had been able to ea-
tablish conclusively the exact time
Conley entered and left the factory.
He also intimated that affidavitl,
had been secured that would show
what time Monteen Slower entered
and left the factory and be able to
prove she left before Mary Phagan's
car reached the vicinity of the pencil
factory.

The old police reporter, in sizing up the many posi-
bes of the Phagan case has reached conclusions
the line of action which he believes will be followed by the
defense:
FIRST he believes the defense will undertake to de-
stroy the value of Coney evidence and upon Coney
guilt the State is trying to fix upon Frank
SECOND he thinks the defense will make the character
of Leo Frank issue.
The old police reporter, in porting through the files Of
the Georgia Supreme Court Reports has found decisions
upon which he thinks the defense will rely

"Soak Book"

WASHINGTON, July 7.--Visitors at
the Senate wing of the Capitol re-
Gently saw such a session as they
probably never will see again. It was
the mock session, with the eighteen
pages of the Senate acting the parts
of Senators, while Joseph O'Toois
chief of pages, presided in Vice Pres
ident Marshalrs place.
The rules provide that pages shah
not be under 1a years OF age nor ovee
1s, and their uniform is a white
blouse shirt and knee brooches. With
great dignity, save for occasional Gig
giles, they introduced bills FOR appro-
pirate reference" offered resolutions
and answered to the names OF SEN
atorB when the roll was called. In
the press gallery notes on the pro-
ceedings were taken with becoming
solemnity.
One youngster introduced a bill
that almost broke up the meeting. It
bore the title ITO prohibit Senators
from using firewater, and for other
purposes" Another was entitled "A
bill to relieve a bull pup" 1t was
duly referred to the committee on
dog fights.
The opposition to these measures
was led by lad named Mccoy, and
he continued his leadership with
great zest until a resolution was Of
ferred directing the Sergeant at
Arms to put a Maxim silencer on
Mccoy"
The effectiveness Of this parlia-
mentary stroke was increased when
it was noticed that Charles P. Hig-
gins, Sergeant at Arms of the Senate,
was standing in the doorway grinning.
The bane of a pages existence is
a little volume known as the soak
book" in which delinquent pages are
Soaked" with various penalties.
Young Senator" Mccoy was able to
regain all his lost prestige by offer
ing resolution that the soak book
be burned with fire."

COST OF RAISING HORSES

The l. 5. Department of Agriculture
has been making a special inquiry as
to the cost of raising horses in the
various States Of the Union. The in
quiries have not been as thorough nor
as extended as il is hoped in subse.
quent reports to make them; and yet
some results have been obtained that
have been considered worth giving IN
the public in a bulletin from that De-.
partmcui
The figures given are based on the
reports OF ten thousand correspondents
distributed among the different States
III Is not explained, however. what
facilities those correspondents had for
ascertaining the facts; and until some.
thing more definite in that line is
gwen. and until the studies are moro
complete, what appears now can be
considered only as tentative.
Yet these studies are of GOOD deal
OF interest, and the results as piven
arc worth public attention. and espec.
ihlly are they worth the attention os

icatious.
It appears from the bulletin as nrint
ed that the average cost OF raising
colts to the age Of three years for the
whole United States is slO4.O6. This
evidently takes into the account along
with the common breeding. the costly
experiments of fancy orse.breeders
and also the race-horse breeders
which ought iu fact to be separated
from the practical figures OF the cost
OF raising the average horse for the
farm, road, or other utility purposos
We have no idea that the average
cost OF raising a common horse or even
one of pretty good breed, amounts N
one hundred dollars n head up 10 tbs
age of three years, and until the dj.
vision IS made as between the cost Of
raising fancy bred horses aud the cost
OF racing stables, as distinguished from
general utility costs, the figures arc
not OF any great practical value.
More than half of the total cos, as
given above, (precisely, s523o,) is for
feeding alone, so that it is evident tha.

ing which are disconnected with farms
and where the food must all be bouob.
has very much 10 do with sweIlinc
this average price. The average coyt
or raising colt 10 three years Of ago
on the farm cannot possibly amount 20
anything like the figures as given
even for the feed.
The bulletin referred TO places the
average selling Value Of horses a.
sl3e.l7. Here again il Is evident that
the value of the high.bred horses swell,
very materially the average selling val.
uc Of all horses; and here again there
is the practical aud economic necessity
OF separating the cost and value of
horses into st least three classes; first
and most numerous. horses for farm
and average utility work; second.
