SUPREME COURT GRANTS
APPEAL OF FRANK

Washington. Dec. 2S.-Justice La
mar OF the supreme court today
granted on appeal from the decision
of the Georgia federal court, which
refused to release Leo NJ. Frank on a
habeas corpus proceedings. Frank is
under sentence for the murder of
Mary Phagan, an Atlanta factory
girl.
Attorneys of the condemned man
have been fighting for weeks for the
appeal, which was once previously
denied them, although on. another
phase of the proceeding.
On the present proceeding Franks
attorneys argued to the federal court
of Georgia that state courts in which
Frank had been convicted of murder
lad lost jurisdiction over their client
because he had not had fair trial
and had been convicted in an atmos-
phere of violence. They asked the
Georgia federal court to release
Frank on habeas corpus writ. JUS
ticc Newman refused and declined TO
grant an appeal to the supreme court.
The appeal to Justice Lamar grant,
ed today permits them to bring their
case up FOR hearing in Washington.
Justice Lamar, in a statement cx-
planning why he had granted the
appeal, said the application for the
appeal presented an entirely different
situation from the application for n
writ of error which he had declined
to grant some time ago.
The case would be heard by the
full court in the ordinary course of
business in about a year and half,
urlcss the state OF Georgia should
Fave asked to have it advanced.
Meanwhile Franks execution is
stayed.
Justice Lamar concluded his state
ment by saying:
The supreme court of the United
States has never determined whether
on trial for murder in state court,
the due process claus. of the federal
constitution guarantees the defend
ant a right to be present when the
verdict is rendered.
Neither has It decided the effect
OF final Judgment refusing Il new
trial in case where the defendant
did not make the fact of his absence
when the verdict was returned il
ground of motion, nor claim that the
rendition of the verdict in his absence
was the denial of Il right guaranteed
by the federal constitution.
"Such questions are all involved in
the present case and since they have
never been settled by an authoritative
ruling by the full court. 1t cannot be
said that there is such IA want OF
probable cause as to warrant the re-
| fusal of an appeal

Canal zone Rails from the construc- tion tracks are being torn up and dumped there, while the old railroad ties are being stacked and burned. Scows, barges, and machinery no longer needed are being removed, and the canal in many places has every appearance of being completed. The points of greatest activity are now at the Cucaracha slide in Gull ebra cut, and at the site of the permanent town of Balboa, at the Pacific end of the canal. The dredges believed the angle of rest will soon be reached At Balboa most of the new houses for the permanent force were to be ready by the first of April.
 Mason is Expert.
 Col. Charles F. Mason, superin- tendent of Ancon Hospital, has come to be regarded as the best informed man in the Canal zone on the sub ject of it's natural history. For sev- eral months past Dr. Mason has been classifying the native woods, and he is making a collection of several hundred specimens. He al so has a large collection of the native Philippine woods, which he made during his long residence in the islands.
 Col Goethals recently became a victim of his own orders. As presi- dent of the Panama Railroad com pany he ruled that no canal worker, no matter how high his rank, should ride free on the observation cars. For the first time the colonel him. self took a seat in one of the ob- servation cars the other day. The negro porter followed orders, and made the colonel pay his fare.

MANY ITEMS OF NEWS REPORT ED-SCENE OF ACTIVITY
 AT PANAMA.

PANAMA. - Navigation of the Panama canal will have to be regu- larly suspended during the early morning hours, or else stringent re- gulations must be enforced to insure safety on account of fogs in the Culebra cut, according to Capt. Hugh Rodman, U. s. N., who is slated to become superintendent of operation. It has been found that from midnight until or o'clock every morning, heavy mists and fogs hang in the cut, which, even without the menace of fog, will be one of the most diffi- cult parts of the canal for the pi- lots.
 Capt. Rodman has recently made a number of trips through the cut during these hours. He says nearly always the mist was so heavy that even his small launch had to slow down and feel it's way. His explana' tion of the fogs is the difference be- tween the temperature Of the Chagres river as it flows out through the cut and the surrounding at mosphere, causing heavy condensa tion during the late night hours.
 Eight Pilots to be Hired.
 Canal operations will start with not more than eight pilots on the pay roll, according to Capt Rodman who has been besieged with applica tions for pilot jobs. There seems tc have been a general belief that 60 or more pilots would be engaged but Capt. Rodman declares that six or eight will answer all purposes fol some time. and if there is not enough pilot work for that many men the pilots will be kept busy al some other duty.
