ABLE DEFENSE FOR FRANK

Difficult Stunt Is Put Up to His Men

Are Seeing Things.

ATLANTA, June 26.--Leo Frank
stock went up and Conley stock
went down today in the Phagan
murder case as the result of the an
nouncement that Reuben R. Arnold,
the greatest jury lawyer in Georgia,
had been empioye1 along with Luz
Their u. Rosser in the Frank defense.
1t is conceded, regardless of the
essential question of Franks guilt
or innocence, that in a legal battle
over May lot of circumstantial
evidence Solicitor General Dorsey,
brilliant and promising young man
though he is, will be but a child in
the hands of two such mature mas
tiers as Rosser and ''Rube" Arnold.
The general impression is now
that the only chance to convict
Frank is to show his guilt so plainly
to the jury that no amount of argu-
ment or cross examination can raise
doubt,

With the unVelllng or a molIu~
ment in Dawson yesterday to the
Hon. James NJ. Griggs the memory
of this public servant and noble
man is perpetuated in bronze and
granite as it lives in the hearts and
minds of the people he loved so well
and for whom he labored so long
and so faithfully.
The exercises, which were most
impressive, occurred at 10 O'Clock in
the presence of perhaps 1000 people
of his town and county and from
throughout the old Second congress
sional district.
A stand, which was erected near
the monument, was occupied by those
who took part in the programme,
members of Judge Griggs' family
and few visitors and personal
friends.
Hon. H. NJ Mcintosh, of Albany,
chairman of the memorial commit
tee. was master of ceremonies at the
unwilling exercises and introduced
the speakers. In opening the exer-
cises Mr.. Mcintosh gave a brief his
tory of the movement for the erec-
ton of the Griggs monument, which
had it's origin at the meeting OF the
district democratic executive com
mittee held for the purpose of order
ing a primary for the election OF the
dead congressman successor, and
in his remarks he took occasion to
give the people of Dawson and Ter
relI county credit for having contrib
uted literally to the memorial fund
and having eo-operated in the details
of preparations for the unveiling.
Former Colleague Pays Tribute.
The presentation speech was deliv-
cred by Hon. w. NJ. Howard, of Lex
ington, Ca, who was for years col
league in congress and close per-
sonaI friend of Judge Griggs.
Mr.. Howard delivered a mastery
address, which was an eloquent and
inspiring eulogy of the dead con-
gresham. He spoke of his eminent
services to the people of the district
and nation, and of his admirable per-
sonal qualities, and said that, so
far as he knew, the erection of a
monument by the people of con-
gressional district to one who had
represented them in congress was
without precedent.
The cords that released the dra-
perry from around the monument
we're drawn by little Theodosia
Griggs Hollingsworth, the grand
daughter of Judge Griggs. after
which Hon. NJ. J. Yeomans in short
and appropriate address accepted 1t

PROHIBITION FIGHT BEGINS
BILL IN SENATE TO APPLY THE
WEBB LAW OPENS BATTLE.
Aims TO Forbid Carriers From Bring

ing Whiskey Into Georgia. Back
ed by Anti-SaloOn League.
ATLANTA, June 26.-The prohibit
ton fight promised the state legisla-
ture took definite form in the upper
house Thursday when Senator Hixon
of the thirty-seventh district intro
duced a bill to make the federal
Webb law applicable to Georgia.
Senator Hixon's measure, he declar-
ed, has the hearty approval of the
Georgia Anti-Saloon League and
other prohibition organizations, and
was introduced at their behest.
Briefly, the measure provides that
mo malt, spirituous or vinous liquor
can be brought into Georgia by any
common carrier" Following the in
tent of the Webb law it will prevent
all liquor shipments into the state,
notably from Tennessee and Florida
The Webb law was intended to con-
fer upon states the right to legislate
in this manner and not be IN viola
ton of the interstate commerce laws.
Means Straight Prohibition Fight.
The measure means the precipita-
ton of a straight line prohibition
fight in the legislature. Mr.. Hixon
sponsor for the bill, with Senator
w. E. H. Searcy, will lead the fight
for prohibitionists in the upper
house. Representative ). E. Shep-
pard of Sumter will doubtless lead
the prohibition forces in the lower
house.
Upon this bill the prohibitionists,
it is understood, are pinning their
whole hopes. No other anti-liquor
legislation will be sent in with their
support, it is said. The whole fight
will be directed towards the passage
of the bill which makes the Webb
law applicable in Georgia.
