In Sensational
Way==Knows
Murderer
DOESN'T BELIEVE THAT
FRANK WILL GIVE LIFE

Chicago, April 3.--William j. Burns,
the detective, declared this afternoon
that he knew who murdered Mary
Phagan, the Atlanta, Ga, girl, for
whose death Leo NJ. Frank is under
sentence of death. Whether the muir
derer was Frank or some one else, in
his opinion, Burns would not say, but
he intimated that from his investiga-
tons and comparing their results
with the conclusions of the coroner's
jury that he did not think Frank the
sort of man capable of making the
attack on the girl alleged to have
preceded her murder. Burns on his
arrival today from Kansas City, re-
lated the story of his investigation.

their home near Fendley. Clark coun-
ty, having previously set fire to the
house, according to reports received
here today. Mr. Francis, the husband
and father, and fourth child narrow
ly escaped the same fate as that of
the other members of the family.
According to statements made by
Francis, he was awakened early by
the barking of his dog, to find his
house in flames. About this time,
Francis said, he saw the assassin en-
ter his wife's room carrying an axe.
Believing the intruder was searching
for him, Francis said, he ran into the
yard in an effort to draw the man
away from the house. but the slayer
remained and killed Mrs. Francis and
the three children, who ranged in age
from two to six years.
Francis said he then ran to the
house and the assassin disappeared.
The flames by this time had complete
ly enveloped the house and he was
unable to enter the room where lay the
bodies of his wife and children. He
succeeded, however, in rescuing the
1-year baby from another room.

PIOUE CRYSTALIZES in
DISAPPOINTED DISTRICTS
Cities Ignored Choices for Federal Reserve Banks De-
termined to Furnish Strong Contest
Against Present Plan

Washington. April 3-There was
every indication here tonight that the
announcement of the reserve districts
and cities by the reserve bank organ
ization committee had given the sig
nal for determined struggle upon
the part of several cities which were
disappointed, to overturn the commit
tees decision and bring about re-
6istricting of the country, or at least
q change in the reserve cities named.
Manner of Change
Under the law the decision of the
organization committee is not subject
to review except by the Federal Re-
serve Board. This board probably will
not be named by President Wilson for
several weeks, but in the meantime
1t is believed those disappointed with
the committees announcement Will
bend every effort toward paving the
way for changes.
1t was pointed out tonight that both

news of the fall of Torreon last night.
this city was preternaturally calm to-
day. 1t was the calm and refreshing
sleep after a fever for anxiety over
the issue of the campaign has been
little less than fever for the last
week.
General Villa, perhaps taking long
deferred siesta himself. added nothing
to his brief bulletin of last night ex
cept that he would report all available
details fully tonight.
Great interest centers in definite in
formation as to the number of Fed
eral prisoners taken by the rebels. In
his bulletin last night Villa said the
Federal losses were 1900 dead,
wounded and prisoners. and it was as
sumed he meant that most of these
were prisoners. The report indicated
a rout of the Federals so complete as
to be almost. unbelievable and details
were eagerly awaited.
Villas early estimate of his losses
is 500 killed and 1900 wounded.

Cause of Burns Interest

He said his attention had first been
called to it by young man from At
lanta, who was a passenger on a
steamer on which Burns was returning
from Europe The young man express
ed his regret that Burns had not be-
come interested in the case before the
Through him Burns read in newspa-
pers of the trial and concluded. from
the accounts he saw, that Frank was
guilty. Later while he was in Key
West three citizens of Atlanta, includ-
ing two personal friends of Frank,
saw the detective and asked him to
undertake an Investigation of the
case.
At first Burns said. he refused on
the ground that if Frank were guilty,
his investigation and final conclusion
to that effect could only hurt the de-
PENDANT, while if the investigation
tended to throw doubt of guilt upon
him, il might serve to thwart justice.
Franks friends here declared that
they believed he had not been given a
fair trial, that he was innocent of the
crime. but that if guilty they wanted
undisputable evidence of his guilt.
Case Against Frank
Burns then took the case. His inves
legations soon showed him, ne said,
first that public clamor, at first had
resulted in the police making extra
ordinary efforts to produce evidence
tending to convict Frank, and sec

liams of the organization committee
are eX-ofiicio members of the Reserve
Board and hardly could be counted
upon to reserve themselves. The Pres
ident has given no ,intimation as to
who the other five members will be.
The committees plan was criticized
IN Congress today and there were re-
ports of keen disappointment from sew
eral cities which We're in the race for
reserve banks and which failed to Sc
cure them. Three members of the
Senate banking and currency commit
tee, two Republicans and Democrat
found fault with the plan. Senator
Weeks of Massachusetts, who opposed
the law vigorously for many months.
but who finally voted for it, pointed
out that one bank was located in
Georgia, the home state of Mr.. Nc
Adoo, one in Virginia, the home state
of Mr.. Williams, and two in Missouri,
the home state of Secretary Houston,
the third member of the committee.
He questioned the propriety of these
selections and made other criticisms
of the committees action.
Senator Burton disapproved the in
clusion of Pittsburg in the district Of
which Cleveland is the reserve center
and declared that it would be impos-
sible to make trade turn westward
from Pittsburg to that city. Senator
Hitchcock pointed to the fact that
Omaha had been included in the Kan
sas City district instead of the Chi
cago district and said trade did not
flow that way.
Defenders of the committee said to-
night that there was no justification
for the charge that it was influenced
by any consideration that the trend of
trade and the banking advantages of
cities chosen.
In referring to the choice of Rich
mond 1T was said that although COM
ment was expected because of the
fact the city is the home of Mr.. Will
liams, the committee was unanimous
and Richmond would have been named
over Baltimore and Washington If
he had not been member.
So far as definite plans for any fight
against the committee have been aired
here there is practically no way for
such a fight to be undertaken except
through the Reserve Board. 1t was
suggested tonight, however that
members of Congress might undertake
to provide banks for their districts
by having the number Of authorized
reserve cities increased.

Many Democratic
Propositions Going
To Pot Because
OF Shake=Up
The Party Rift Now a Split and
Promises 10 Be Chasm

Washington. d. c., April 3.-(Spe-
ciaD.-With all the Congressional
shake-up of the last few days, many
propositions, heretofore considered per-
fectly good, are going to pot. The
agreed upon order of procedure has
been disturbed Attention has been
diverted. Interest has been destroyed
Can brain power again be focused
upon these matters and can Congress
be persuaded to concentrate itself up
on what has been considered as neces-
sary tasks? Will the individual sena-
tors and representatives be as regard
full as heretofore Of what the Presi-
dent wants.
In that connection one thinks of
the antitrust program. At this mo-
ment the antitrust bills appear to
be in real peril. Every one of them
may die of inanition. The enthusiasm
for amendments to the Sherman law
has gradually been oozing out. Com
mittees of the Senate and Committees
of the House that had been wrestling
with those antitrust bills have grad
ually been sinking into obscurity. The
country certainly has been taking
Slight NOTICE Oh IleIn ana remember
it is very difficult for a committee of
Congress to wrinkle it's brows over
legislation when the people are not
watching and criticizing or praising
as the case may be or may merit
Now there are slight prospects that
any attention can be called to the
antitrust bills. The big Legislative
topic for the time being is the ex-
emption repeal bill and thus it will
remain for some time while the SEN
ate celebrates thereon. And another
big political topic goes along with it.
Is the Democratic party to be split
wide open by the processes of the
last ten days? The politicians and
many of the voters will be inquiring
and will be thinking about those two
matters for the next month or two
