In his cell Thaw received word of Jerome's coming without alarm. sI'm rather glad Willie is here," he re- marked. "It adds to the fun."
 Thaw was very much interested in former Governor Stones statement and indicated that he, himself, had suggested that test be made of the constitutionality of the Canadian i'm. migration laws.
 I'm not so tremendously opposed to going to Vermont he said. "They are very fair people over there and will allow no trickery to be used against anyone.'
 Spread out on the sheet that was open was recent photograph of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw Thaw's con. versation had been so rambling and the interviews that he has granted have had such a damaging effect upon his case that his lawyers today made an effort to get Sheriff Eylmer to bar out allShewspaper representa- tives. Thaw thinks there has been plot to prevent his seeing one or two of his newspaper friends, but in- sists that his lawyers had nothing to do with it.
 Dr. G. L. Hume, of the local phy- sicians who examined Thaw, with Dr. Britton D. Evans, and pronounced him sane, today hedged somewhat when asked if his opinion he made previously was being confirmed.
 ''I am not hired to say whether he is sane or not now" he replied. "Mr. Thaw is a very eccentric man. It would require many visits before one could attempt to pass on his sanity. Yet Thaw rambles in his conversation and seems very excited. This proves that he is not normal man by any means"
 J. H. Parkinson, chief of the Cana dian Secret Service, accompanied by Inspector Geroux, arrived today from Ottawa, prepared to assist the i'm. l migration officials in arresting Thaw upon the new warrant which has been sworn out. Immigration officer Reynolds said today that in all pro- bability Thaw will not be present at the hearing of the board of inquiry at Coaticook, and that he will proba- bly, remain in Sherbrooke jail until after his appeal to the minister Of the interior has been decided. This should require only eight or ten days from Wednesday next, according to Reynolds.

LEO FRANK IS
 FOUND GUILTY State Attorney Dorsey is Cheered and Carried On Shoulders of Crowd.
ASKS FOR NEW TRIAL
Attorneys For Atlanta Man Say He Was Not Given a Fair Trial.
 He is in Jail.

Allanla, Gd., AuS. A'-l-eo M. Frank was this afternoon found guilty of the murder of fourteen-year- old Mary Phagan on April 26. The case was given to the jury at 12:47 o'clock and a verdict was announced at 4:56 D. m.
 Two ballots were cast before an agreement was reached. The first ballot showed eleven for verdict of guilty without the recommendation of mercy and one in doubt. After one more ballot, an hour later, the twelfth man came over to the others and made the early verdict possible.
 Frank will be condemned to death when he is brought before Judge Roan Tuesday.
 Frank was not in court when the verdict was announced. After the jury retired he was taken to jail by request of his lawyers. The prisoner was ac- companied to jail by his wife and aged mother.
 Solicitor Dorsey wept as he called the jury. He asked each member sol emnly: 'Is this your verdict?" and one by one they replied: Tt is.'
 As the verdict was announced a great cheer arose and it was heard by Frank his wife and mother in the jail two blocks away
 When Solicitor Dorsey passed from the court house down to the street he was picked up bodily by members of the waiting crowd, and on their shoul- ders carried to his office Franks attorneys will move for a new trial.
 Just after Solicitor Dorsey conclud- ed his impassioned address against Frank, attorneys representing the de- fendant asked Judge Roan to declare a mistrial on the ground that Frank had not been fairly tried. They all lege the behavior of the spectators and the crowds around the court house had been disgraceful and had tended to coerce and intimidate the court and jury. The repeated applause for So- licitor Dorsey was cited as an act of intimidation.
 Judge Roan declined to declare a mistrial and immediately charged the jury. The judges charge was brief and was declared to be impartial by both the state and the defense.
 Leo Frank is 2S years of age and his parents resides in Brooklyn, N. Y. He was educated at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, and at Cornell. He came to Atlanta six years ago and took charge of the National pencil factory. He married here and has been prominent in Jewish circles, having been presi- dent of the local lodge of B'nai Brith.

New York Lawyer Says it Will Be No Difficult Matter to Put Thaw
 Back in Matteawan.

Sherbrooke, Que, Aug.-25.-"The |snow will lie thick on the ground be- |fore Harry H. Thaw leaves Canada, :" predicted William A. Stone, former governor of Pennsylvania, Thaw's Beading attorney, today.
 MT. Stone hinted that a test of the constitutionality of the Canadian i'm, migration laws will be made on be- half of Thaw and that the treaty be- Tween the United States and Canada will play large part in this.
 Under the immigration laws, a tourts if he is held as one who has uttered Canada by stealth,' explained rhaw's attorney. An American citi- len. however, is allowed no such ap- eal. This, despite the fact that the United States treaty with Canada uarantees the same treatment and he same right to American citizens s to British subject"
 &To make test of the constitution lity of the immigration laws of Ca hda, it would be necessary for Thaw appeal to the State Deartment a, yashington, which. in turn, would Sauest an interpretation of the law b the Dominion parliament

MEETS COMMITTEES
Congress in Perfect Accord With President.-Aind's Mission
 a Failure.

Washington, Aug. 25.-Congress is in perfect accord with the President in his demands upon Huerta At the conference With the members of the Foreign Relations Committees of sage together with the note conveyed by Envoy Lind and the reply Of Pre- sident Huerta.
 The President admitted to his ad- visers that the mission of Lind is a complete failure, but said that Lind would remain in Mexico to await whatever may develop.
 The demands carried by Lind, which conveyed the distinguished consideration and esteem of the Pre- sident. were as follows:
 First-That there must be an arm istic
 Second-There must be an honest and fair election by which all fac tions must abide.
 Third-That Huerta must nor be a candidate at such election.
 The President discusses the advisa- bility of bringing Americans out of all parts of Mexico as soon as possi- ble. To this end an appropriation of $10O,0O0 has already been asked from Congress.
 The President recommends to the people the exercise of patience and says he still expects the situation to be worked out along peaceful lines. further negotiations or steps in the justification of Mexico, he discusses the neutrality laws and takes the position that they should be enforced as to all factions.
 This attitude of the President was productive of the only disarrangement of the conference. The members of the Committee also to man were of the opinion that the course to pursue
  that all factions could procure arms and ammunition.
 The President cOntended that if such a course were pursued we would be condemned by all the civilized nations of the world. The opposi- tion to the Presidents position end- ed with the discussion. He will be unheld by Congress.
 The most significant feature of the conference developed in the fact that the President will not give to Congress when he reads his message tomorrow, the reply of Huerta to the demands of the United States.
 President Huerta's reply takes is- sue with President Wilson on the fact assumed by the American gov ernment. The reply states that there is in Mexico today a strong, stable government, capable eventual ly, of dealing with the situation and restoring order.
 It was announced by MT. Humility to the press this afternoon, presum- ably on the authority of the President that the message of President Wilson to Mexico would be finality as to Mexican affairs so far as the White House was concerned.
 It is emphasized that under no consideration will there be recogni- tion for Huerta, and it was made equally emphatic that there will be no intervention.
 The President leaves no doubt whatever as to his position on the question of enlisting the aid of foreign nations in the settlement of the problems. He has not, nor will he call any nation to participate with the United States in neotiations with Huerta.

in a shop recently, which had plain
straight plated effect at the top, which
reached to the knees and beneath that
was crossed in the front and draped.

snugly fitting above and below that.
Still another very fetching skirt had
three rows Of frills at the knees and
three at the hem. This was very
quaint and picturesque and was COM

the attractive patterns.

MYSTERY FLAGS.
Trophies That Are Souvenirs Of Long
foraotten Battles.

In the midst Of that wonderful COL
lection of the souvenirs Of battle that
are on permanent exhibition in Trophy
hall ut the Naval academy in Annapo-
lis are the nations unknown trophies
Flags that were captured In now for
gotten engagements are hung In the
cases side by side with those whose
glorious history Is known.
Two of these souvenirs Of forgotten
battles are British flags. One ia n
jack marked Avon and nothing more;
the other is the ensign Of warship
and Is marked Bereford. From the
condition OF both Of these flags it Is
supposed tint they date back to the
war Of 1912. but history gives no rec
ord Of ships bearing those names be-
ing sent to American waters by Great
Britain.
Another Of the mystery flags is the
"S14" flag. In great white figures this
number appears on field Of blue. and
the entire flag ia bordered with red.
From some engagement in the war
with the Moorish pirates the dag that
the officers ut Annapolis came to call
the "house flag" seems to have come
Yet no one knows where that battle
was fought or under what circum-
stances Of heroic sacrifice 1t was added
to the long list Of the trophies of our
naval victories. Christian Herald.
