Washington, June 6-Preparations to- day were made in the Senate to take up antitrust legislation as soon as the Pan anna tolls exemption repeal bill is dis posed of next week
 The interstate commerce committee voted to report ont for the present . bill creating federal trade commission, and the three antitrust bills passed yesterday by the House were received by the Senate and sent to committees for consideration.

There is d strong sentiment in the Sen ate to pass merely the trade commission bill and adjourn. the belief being that such legislation is sufficient for the pres- ent Whether this spirit will prevail is a matter for speculation.

 Urging Both to Give up Offices

Little Rock. Ark. June 6.-Aroused by the alleged yelled nttack which United states senator Clarke made upon him at the democratic convention at Pine Bluff this week, Gov. Charles w. Hays tonight issued a written state ment in which he offers to resign as governor if Senator Clark will retire from the senator's office.
 There is need for change in the primary law Senator Clarke said in his speech. We must prevent state officers from stealing ballots. I would rather live under a republican administration than that of man who stole his election.''
 The senator's remarks were generally understood as an attack upon Governor Hays. whose nomination at special pri- mary a year ago was contested by his opponent in the primary, former Con- gressman stephen Brundidge. Mir. Burn didge lost out in his contest before tue state central committee.
 "The same state central committee which declared me elected also dismissed Judge Kirby's contest against Senator Clarke in the recent senatorial primary '' reads the governors statement. If my election was stolen, so was Senator Clarke's. If he really believes that both were stolen, l will join him in resigning that the offices may be restored to the people who can then bestow them upon men free from the taint of wrong doing. .

LEO FRANK LOSES
 MOTION TO ANNUL
 VERDICT OF GUILTY
Judge Hill Rules Motion Filed Too Late to Merit Considerati0n--May Take Case to the U. $.
 Supreme Court

Atlanta, June 6.-Judge Ben NJ. Hill o1 the Fulton county superior court toea, sustained the state demurrer to the mo- tion to set aside the verdict by which Leo M. Frank was pronounced guilty o1 the murder of Mary Phagan. factory girl.
 The motion was based on the claim that Franks constitutional rights were vio- lated when the verdict was returned dur ing the condemned mans absence from court
 By sustaining the demurrer Judge Hill refused to hear the motion on its merits, holding instead that it was filed too late to merit consideration.
 It was regarded in court circles as highly probable that Franks attorney would immediately appeal to the state sn- preme court. asking that Judge HIT s action be reversed.
 Should the higher court take such ac- ton an order would be issued directing the Fulton county superior court to hear the main motion on it's merits
 In the event tbat the ruling is affirmed Franks lawyers probably would appeal to the United States supreme court.
