CHARGES PLOT IN FRANK CASE.
Minister Repudiates Story of Confession
by Negro.

Atlanta, Ga, April 30.-On the advice
that Rev. c. B. Ragsdale, Baptist min
lister, and Il. L. Barber, member of
the formers congregation, had repudat-
ed affidayits in which they stated that
they had overheard a negro named Jim
Conley confess to the murder of Mary
Phagan, the defense in the case of Leo
NJ. Frank has amended its motion for
new trial so as to omit the testimony
of the minister and his parishioner.
In making a second affidavit for Solicit
tor General Dorsey. repudiating the first,
Ragsdale charges that the confession af-
tidayit was framed up" Franks at
torneys insist that Ragsdale's statement
was voluntary and that they believed
him. Reuben r. Arnold of counsel for
the defense said:
Since the state set the example for
lying by placing Jim Conley on the
stand, it seems that all the liars in
Georgia are trying to break into this
case"

IN THE FIELD
OF SPORTS

Pitcher Robert Shawkey of the Phil
a delphia Americans will be out of tn,
game for several weeks. During recent
practice at Philadelphia he dislocateC
the thumb on his pitching hand.
Pitcher Gallup. who was with tn,
Cleveland Americans last season, has
been released by Manager Birmingham
to the Cleveland club of the American
association. Cullop is regarded as a
major league possibility but is woefully
in need of seasoning.
Eddie Mahan, the sensational Harvard
football player, has at last begun to
show true form as pitcher. He has
been favored with several opportunities
this spring by Coach Sexton. but in
nearly every instance has failed to pro-
duce the goods. Against Bates on Tues
day he held the Maine collegians to
two hits, one in the first and one in the
ninth. His performance was very cred
liable and people are led to believe that
he will show that same form that he
displayed at Natick high and Andover
as pitcher. Mahan also possesses great
ability as an outfielder and hitter.
Willie Hoppe, the worlds champion
billiardist. now claims the title of three
different divisions of the game. Hoppe
has been recognized as the ISL and 1872
champion for some time past OF late
a new form, AL, has been introduced
into the billiard world. In the first
championship tournament ever held,

was closed but few days ago. Calvin
Demarest was the runnerup and met
defeat at the hands of Hoppe by the
score of 400 to 1876.

troit Tigers, is watching his young neph-
ew, a pitcher at Washington and Lee

1.-THE Red Widow"

The most massive production of the
season is the Aston theatre, New York
musical play "The Red Widow" which
is announced for Tuesday, May 5th, at
the Barre opera house. The company
numbers over nifty people and the scenic
and electric effects are so heavy and
numerous that it takes two sixty-foot
baggage cars to transport same.
"The Red Widow" carries working
crew of eight grizzled old veterans of
stage mechanics who never have had the
glory of appearing before the public but
who, like the hidden hands OF the
marionettes stand and pull the strings
of this gigantic production.
The eostuping is of innumer-
able charm and splendor, and so extern
siye that four lady knights of the needle
are constantly needed for its care. They
too, like their CO. workers, the mechanics,
never appear before the public but lin
ger in the shadows of the limelight with
a wary eye, and deft finger.--Adv.

CHURCHILL
MEAN CRIMINAL
Balfour Makes Attack in
Commons and Causes
an Uproar
HOME RULE
DEBATE rs ON
Ex-Premier Spoke in Favor
of a Vote of
Censure

London, April 30.--The House of Com
mons was thrown into the widest up
roar yesterday when Arthur j. Balfour
the former premier and most brilliant
speaker of the Unionist force, referred
to Winston Spencer Churchill, first lord
of the admiralty, as "despised agent
and meanest criminal"
BaIfour spoke in the debate on the
vote of censure moved Tuesday by Aus
ten Chamberlain. During Tuesday
nights session Churchill again held out
the olive branch to the opponents of
home rule. 1t was generally believed
that his suggestion carried the approval
of other members of the cabinet when
he invited Sir Edward Carson to en-
deavor to compromise the Ulster ques-
ton through the adoption Of the federal
system. There was nothing definite,
however, to indicate that he was speak
ing other than for himself.
With the remark Of Balfour yester-
day members jumped to their feet, wav-
ing papers and shouting cries OF protest.
Balfour stood his ground and continued
his argument.
The cabinets failure to take any ac-
ton on the Ulster problem in view of
Saturdays SO called gun running coup
has given a new serious turn to the
situation. Feeling is high in the ranks
of the ministerial party. 1t is generally
believed that the king is endeavoriug to
force Premier Asquith to dissolve Par
Lament Immediately. Those who en-
terrain this view think the king sees
chance in this move to save himself
the obligation OF consenting to the home
rule.
The Radicals and members of the La
Dor party denounce the king for what
they call his interference" with Par
Lament. Taken all in all the situation
seems to be Just as critical to-day as
ii has ever been. The Unionists openly
charge the premier with "refraining"
from military action because the troops
refused to go to Ulster. The Ulster
leaders at Belfast declare that the off
GERS of the regiments ordered to the
north openly declared that they would
take part in no "warlike measures"

Two Mexican Gunboats, Progreso and

Washington, April 30.--Lost, strayed
and missing-one Mexican navy on the
east coast of Mexico. Finder please re-
turn to Victoriano Huerta.
This was the report, in effect, regard
ing. the Mexican navy yesterday. The
entire "tieet"-two gunboats--was lost
from the map, according to official de-
spatches.

was that the Mexican gunboats Progreso
and Zaragosa sailed out of Vera Cruz at
the order of Admiral Badger.
Daniels said that the desire for in
formation regarding the Mexican navy
was not caused by any fear of hostile
demonstrations from it.

YOU NEED A TONIC


Spring sickness comes " some degree
to every man, woman and child in our
climate. 1t is that run down condition
of the system that results from impure
impoverished, devitalized blood. 1t is
marked by loss of appetite and that
tired feeling, and in many cases by some
form of eruption.
The best way to treat spring sickness
is to take Hoods Sarsaparilla. Ask
your druggist for this old reliable fam
lily medicine. 1t purifies, enriehes and
revitalizes the blood. 1t is an all-the-
year-round Alternative and tonic, and is
absolutely the best spring medicine.
Get your blood in good condition at
once--now. Delay may be dangerous.
Be sure to get Hoods Sarsaparilla,
nothing else can take its place.-Advt.
