STATISTICS OF COTTON.

Washington, March 12.-Diyector
William ]. Harris, OF the bureau Of
the census, department Of commerce,
announces a change in the method Of
publishing the statistics OF cotton.
The annual reports on tne quantity
Of cotton ginned have heretofore in
Guided the quantity of Iinters obtained
by the oil mills. Formerly there was
only Comparatively small quantity Of
linters obtained and they were Of such
a g~ade as could be used, 10 some eX-
tent. for the same purposes as were
the lower grades OF cotton. Many Of
tie oil mills have now Installed ma
chinery for the closer delinting OF the
seed. This has resulted in a large in
crease in the to,al quantity of linters
produced each year and, at the same
time, in lowering the average quality
OF the fibre, so that now only a small
part # any, is used as d substitute for
In cotton.

"Col. Aull, in discussing the situa-
ton at the State Park, said:
"'The future of this work rests with
the next legislature. 1t would be a
great mistake, in my judgment, to stop
the work where it is. 1t would have
been better if the legislature, after
having started this work, mad gone
ahead with it. The commission had
the organization and everything nee
essary, and l think an appropriation
should have been provided each year
by the legislature for the work.
Although the commission wanted
$125,000, if the legislature had just
have given 100000 each year, I be-
lieve all the necessary buildings could
have ben completed in six years. AL
ready $250,000 has been spent there.

DECLARES HE'S CONFIDENT.
Leo. u. Frank Says He Expects
New TriaI-TO File New Mo-
ton.

Atlanta. Ga, March 1O.-Leo NJ.
Frank today declared he was more
confident OF obtaining a new trial than
az any time since his conviction on
the charge Of having murdered Mary
Phagan. An extraordinary motion
for new ,.earing Of the case will be
filed some time before April II, the
date recently set for the execution.
Il is expected about April 7.
Franks renewed hopefulness is Ssf
lieved to be the result of remarkable
activities by his counsel and agents in
concerted effort to uneartn new
evidence. These activities are more
pronounced now than at any time
since the young factory superintend-
ent's arrest.
Interest in Franks fight for life
likewise appears more widespread
than ever. This interest extends
throughout the entire country, as
shown by scores of letters received
daily by counsel for the defense and
prosecution from all parts of the
United STATES.
Detective at Work.
A detective OF rational renown,
conspicuous in uneartbing the dyna-
mite conspiracy cases at Los An
geles and Indianapolis, has been per-
sonally engaged to work on the case,
According to general report the ser
vices of this man and his agents have
been secured by two private citizens
of Atlanta Representatives of the
detective nave been in the city trying
to unravel the mystery for several
weeks, and he is expected to arrive
this week.
Since renewed activities were be-
gud in the case several affidavits have
been made public by the friends of
the defense and others evidence has
been disclosed which will be embodied
in the extraordinary motion for a
new trial. While the State is said to
be equally active, it is understood that
little additional evidence viii De
made public until the motion las been
filed by the defense.
Solicitor at Work.
The solicitor general has been in
conference constantly during the past
few days w:sn city detectives who
worked on the case previous to the
trial.
Since the original motion for new
trial was denied, Frank has broken
the silence he had hitherto maintain
ed. He recently received a body Of
newspaper men, agreeing to answer
any questions they might ask, and in
addition has made several other
statements for publica ion. From the
first he has professed his innocence.
Lately he has declared his conviction
was the result Of an insistent demand
for a victim by a public determined
to avenge the murder Of the little fac
tory girl.
Mrs. Frank, wife of the prisoner,
also has made several statements, the
last one being made public just after
Charles Becker, the New York po-
lice lieutenant, was granted a new
trial In her latest statement Mrs.
Frank declares her husband is en-
titled to the same privilege given
Becker.
