FINALEffORTMADE
TO Save LEO FRANK
FROM The GALLONS
EXTRAORDINARY MOTION FOR A
NEW TRIAL TO BE ENTERED
| " IN ATLANTA COURT.
REMARKABLE TURNABOUT
| IN PUBLIC SENTIMENT
His Conviction Was Hailed With Sat
isfaction; Now Public Believes he
Has Been Raiiroaded to His Death
Date Of Execution Only Two Days of

Atlanta, Ca, April 15.-With the
date fixed for the execution of Leo M.
Frank but two days off, public interest
in the case has reached fever heat.
The attorneys for the convicted young
man will play their final card tomor-
row, when they will appear before the
state supreme court and present an
extraordinary motion for new trial.
1t is expected that the new evidence
gathered by William J. Burns, and
which the famous detective claims is
of so important character that 1t
cannot be ignored by the court, will
then be disclosed for the first time.
Whatever may be the strength and
character of the new evidence upon
which the plea for a new trial will be
based, there is a general feeling in
Atlanta today that Frank will not be
executed Friday. Furthermore, the
opinion is widespread that he will
never go to the gallows. The basis
for this opinion is probably due al.
most wholly to the campaign of pub
licity that has been waged in behalf
of the young man. In the entire his.
| tory of American courts there have
been few II any cases in which more
vigorous effort has been made to save
a person convicted of murder.
. Public Sentiment Reverses.
NSt the least interesting feature Of
the Frank case is the remarkable turn
about that public sentiment has under
gone In regard to the case. When, on
August 20 last, the jury returned a
verdict finding Frank guilty of the
murder of little Mary Phagan, the
large crowd that had assembled out
side the court house received the news
with noisy demonstrations. The yer
dict was greeted with cheering loud
and long. Mounted policemen rode
through the crowd in an effort to dis
perse it, but the demonstrations con
tinued unabated.
So far as the general public is aware
there has been no new or important
development in the Frank case since
the verdict of guilty was returned
The evidence upon which the young
man was convicted has not been up
set in any important particular. Ye
public sentiment seems to have under
gone complete change and there il
little doubt that any announcement o
court action favorable to the convict
ed man would now be greeted with a
much enthusiasm as that displaye'
when the verdict of guilty was an
nounced eight months ago.
1t will be one year on the 9th o
this month since the body of 14-yeai

AhciiSdns, Olncldlly ana INDIVIDUALLY,
have caused him to take this posi-
tive stand.
Only America Insulted.
After relating the arrest of the ma
rines at Tampico, the arrest of an or
derly at Vera Cruz, who had gone
ashore to get the mail for the boat,
the holding up of United States off,
cial cablegrams and other incidents.
the statement reads:
"it cannot but strike anyone a. sig
nifieant that untoward incidents have
not occurred where representatives OF
other governments were concerned,
but only in dealings with the United
States. Authorities of the State De-
partment are confident that when the
seriousness and cumulative effect OF
these incidents are made evident to
the Government at Mexico City, that
Government will see the propriety and
necessity of giving such evidence of
their desire to repudiate and correct
these things as will not only be sat
isfactory to the United States, but also
as evidence to the rest of the world
of an entire change in attitude"
confides in Congress.
The President took Congress into
his confidence. He called the members
of the House and Senate Foreign Rela-
tions committee for a conference to
explain the situation and paved the
way for whatever action Congress may
be required to take.
He pointed out that the fleet move
ment is action against the Huerta
Government rather than Mexico as a
whole and reported a severe defeat OF
the federals near Torreon yesterday.
Together with the United States dem
onstration, this may have pacifyine
effect on Huerta. 1t is believed here
that the rebel victory and the Ameri
can fleet movement will bring a crisi.

DOING SOMETHING" EDITORIAL
GIVEN CORDIAL ENDORSEMENT
Members Praise The News For Its
Progressive Poliey-President Nc
tnnis Tells Of Success In Raising
Hogs-ko Aid For New Orleans.

Advertising and live stock were the
most discussed subjects at the Com
mercal Club last night. Rev. E. D.
Solomon, chairman Of the publicity
committee. reported progress being
made by the committee in more gen.
orally advertising this section. The
committee has had no meeting dur
ing the last month, although the
March meeting of the club urged that
definite steps along this line be taken.
Mr.. Solomon reported, however, that
articles to be contained in a booklet
are being arranged.
An editorial in a recent edition of
The News on Doing Something" was
cordially endorsed by Mr.. Solomon
and he said the editor of The News
would be asked to allow this editorial
to be reproduced in the proposed book
let.
There was a small attendance at the
meeting and nothing was accomplish
ed. Various members talked on the
possibilities of this section, but nc
steps were taken to develop these pos
sibilities.
H. A. Camp spoke relative to the
recent visit of the agricultural expert:
to this section, saying that during theil
tour of this county he had heard
number of the speeches made and hi
mind was made up to 60 into the rails
ing of live stock as the most profitable
industry open to the land owners o
this section today.
Hog Raising Possible.
President McInnis spoke at lengtl
regarding some results obtained b!
him in the raising of hogs. He stated
that he had some time ago set aside
40 acres which he subdivided int
four ten-acre tracts on which he hal
been grazing hogs. He stated that h'
planted the land in oats and rye an(
plans to follow these with peas, sor
ghum and peanuts all for grazing thu
hogs. Having put the hogs on the ry'
and oats early last autumn, they hav'
kept healthy and fat without the feed
ing of one pound of grain. He expect
to bring his hogs to maturity entirel.
without the use of grain as a feed
He said it is now his opinion that h
will make more profit on the 40 acre
than on 100 acres devoted to othe
crops.
w. J. Haynan spoke of the colonies
tion work being done by the E.
Cummings & Company on the ].
Newman lands. He said that fully fift
families settled on those lands wer
doing well and as many additions
families are planning to settle the
purchases at an early date.

So, on the heels of one day confer

Chiffon with Silver came another dull
days conference in the same place
with Depue. Depue is an out-and-out
candidate. So is Wylie Beall, of
Wellsburg, and that completes the list
to date. Senator Chiffon says that he
will take no hand between the candi-
dates for this or any other nomina-
tion-and that goes for publication.
The Watson Chiffon organization,
however, will take hand in all nomi-
nations, and old-time politicians will
play that bet clear across the board
