Our True Moles.

In this country there are five recog-
nized groups of true moles. two Of
which are confined to the Pacific coast
and the other three are distributed
over the section east of the one hun
dredth meridian extending from Can
ada to the gulf of Mexico. In the lat
ter districts and in the greater part of
Pennsylvania. New York and New
England the common mole occurs with
the star nosed mole and Brewers mole.
The mole is so seldom seen even by
those who are familiar with its work
that it is often confused with other
small creatures. particularly the shrew,
the mole or meadow mouse and the
pocket gopher. However, 1t can be
readily distinguished by its stout. short
front limbs ending in broad, rounded
hands with palms turned outward. 1t
has rather elongated body. close.
plushlike fir, a pointed snOut and a
short tail. Neither eyes nor ears are

IL Gets the Criminals.

According to the Chinese method of
criminal prosecution. man is respon
sibie for the crime he may have com
mitted personally, but if he chooses to
escape justice by running away from
the place where the deed was commit
ted then the remaining members of his
immediate family are held and punish
ed in lieu of the real cuprit This may
seem strange way of attracting the
real criminal back to the scene of his
crime but it appeals TO the religious
side of the mans superstitious nature.
According TO their religion the man
who forsakes his parents when in peril
will find his soul sailing around
through hudes without chart or com
pass for all eternity In view of this.
compliance with the law is very
prompt. for John Chinaman does not

Gives Out A Statement
Says Mystery Of
Mary Phagan's Death
Can Be Solved

Atlanta, Oct. A startling
new turn IN the case of Leo NJ.
Frank condemned to die for the
murder of Mary Phagan came late
tonight when William NJ. Smith,
attorney for Jim Conley, whose
evidence practically convicted
Frank, announced that he had
come to the conclusion that Frank
was innocent and that he was
ready to help demonstrate this
fact and prove it to the satisfac-
tion of any reasonable man.
Mr.. Smith tonight made the fol-
lowing statement:
Il have never ceased to be a
student of the case. Practically
all of my spare time has been
devoted to a study of it. I have
come definitely to TIE conclusion
or at least this is my personal
judgement after much study that
Leo M. Frank is innocent and
that if a proper cooperation of
the officials can be secured | have
absolute faith that the mystery
of the death of Mary Phagan can
be solved to the satisfaction of
every reasonable man i n this
community"

Frank Case Hearing
To Be Held Oct. rs

Atlanta, Ca, Oct. 5.-The su-
preme court of Georgia has set
the fourth Monday of the present
month as the date for the hear
ing of the motion of the attorneys
for the defense of Leo M. Frank,
now in Fulton Tower under SEN
tence of death for the murder of
Mary Phagan, to have the YER
dict set aside on the ground that
Frank was not present when the
verdict was rendered.
The supreme court has not yet
handed down it's decision in the
motion extraordinary for a new
trial, and this decision is hardly
expected until after the hearing
on the fourth Monday of Octo-
Der, inasmuch as the last regular
day for the handing down of the
decisions, of the supreme court
before that date has passed.
Monday was without sensation
al developments in regard to the
change of opinion on the part of
William Smith, former attorney
for Jim Conley, the sweeper at
the National Pencil factory, now
serving a term as accessory after
the fact of the Phagan murder.
1t is rumored that city detec-
tives have Intercepted Conley
to learn what conversation, if
any, has passed between him and
Attorney Smith and whether or
not Attorney Smith has secured
a confession" from Conley.
Attorney Smith and Solicitor
Dorsey both declined to discuss
the case on Monday.
