the flag winning.
At the close of the contest the
school making the best record and
winning the right to display the large
silk flag in its building during the next
year will be entertained by the high
school. The pupils will march to the
building in a body Friday, May 8,
where Principal Pickell will have a
program Of music and short talks.
Some person who has taken promi-
nent part in the cleanup will make
the speech Of presentation.
Want Civic Pride.
That cleaning week may have last
ing effect and generate among the
young people civic pride which will
prompt them to keep the city clean
the year round is the hope Of the
workers. The schools are placing en-
phasis on this idea, pursuing general
campaign OF education.
AS one of the steps toward this end
Mrs. L. H. Monarch is planning to
place small plots Of ground at the dis
posal of children, teach them to keep
them clean and to cultivate garden
produce. This work is to be conduct
ed among children who do not have
yards and gardens Of their own. Mrs.
Monarch intends to ask citizens for
ground lying idle, and put it to that
use this summer.

With an enthusiasm and boundless
energy which promises to make Rich
mond the cleanest town on the map,
6,672 school children started to pick
up, paint-up and cleanup the city early
this morning.
The goal toward which they are
working is the large silk flag, which
the committee proposes to award the
school making the best record during
the week. Speakers appointed by Mrs.
Chrisman visited the schools yesterday
morning, distributing pledges and or
ganizing the children for the week Of
activity. Everywhere except at the
Joseph Moore school, addresses were
made and final instructions given the
workers.
Children Keep Records.
Being a new school and just in the
period OF organization the Joseph
Moore building was not visited, but
will be enlisted in the cleanup in a
day or so.
Records of the work done by each
child are kept by the pupil at his home,
duplicates being filed with the teach
ers. Upon these and final reports are
based the distribution of plants and
the final awarding of the flag.
For fifteen hours work the pupil is
allowed three thrifty, healthy plants.

FRANK MAKES LAST
STRUGGLE FOR LIFE
TBY LEASED WiREl

ATLANTA, Ca, May 1.-Solicitor
Hugh NJ. Dorsey began his fight to baf-
file the move of the attorneys for Leo
NJ. Frank, who are urging a new trial
for the convicted man, when the hear
ing was resumed at 10 o'clock today
before Judge Hill. A strong fight will
be made to Judge Hill to revoke the
order he gave Franks defense, cancel
ing the amendment which was pre-
sented last Friday, and in which Rev.
DR.. Ragsdale, an obscure Baptist min
lister, made an affidavit to the effect
that he had overheard Jim Conley, ne
gro, confess to the murder Of Mary
Phagan. Ragsdale has since repudi-
ated the affidavit in a con fession to
the solicitor.
1t is reported that DR.. Dorsey has
obtained an affidavit from Maude Car
ter, negress, who had made state
ment to Franks attorneys that, while
in Jail, Conley had made love to her
and had confessed that he killed the
Phagan girl.
Detective w. J. Burns returned to
Atlanta late last night and today Wig
orously denied Ragsdale's story that
he (Burns) was prent when the Con
ley story was drawn from the min
lister. Burns reiterated his statement
that he has sufficient evidence to es.
tablish Franks innocense and Con
leys guilt, and says his work in the
case is nearly completed.

MAY CHANGE PLAN
OF STREET REPAIR

The new street flusher o fthe Rich
mond street department, purchased at
an expense of $1,000 from South
Bend company, was put in operation
last night and this morning on paved
streets in various parts of the city,
and the effective manner in which it
cleansed the paving met with the ap-
ing.
President Bavis of the board of pub
lie works, stated today that the work
of street cleaning and repairing was
progressing satisfactorily and at much
less expense than last year.
He said the pay roll of the street
department for April would be approx
imately $4,000. THE pay roll for last
month could have been $4,000 more,
and the total expenditures in that de-
partment for the first four months Of
this year would still be less than the
expenditures for the corresponding
four months of last year, and just as
much work has been DONE" he said.
Mr.. Bavis said today that he had
a proposition to N. H. Johnson, the
new manager of the Light, Heat and
Power company, to have the city re-
pair all streets damaged by the COM
pany, providing the company would
pay the city for the work. He said
that Mr.. Johnson informed him that
he would take the matter under con-
sideration and reach decision within
a short time.
Mr.. Johnson. who was formerly SUI
perintendent of the municipal plant,
assumed his new position today. He
takes the place of J. B. Wharton, who
recently applied to the holding COM
pany to be transferred elsewhere on
account of his health. Mr.. Wharton
will remain in this city two or three
| weeks to assist Mr.. Johnson in mas
tering his new duties.

CRAWFORD REFUSES
TO RUN ON TICKET
Former Democrat and Enemy
of Taggart Machine Pro-
gressive in Principle.

1t was learned today that Earl T.
Crawford has reluctantly decided not
to be candidate for the Progressive
nomination of joint representative
from Wayne and Fayette counties. 1t
Is reported in political circles that Mr..
Crawford's decision was the result Of
his wifes opposition to him re-enter-
ing public life again.
Mr. Crawford publicly admits he is
heartily in sympathy with Progressive
principles and says he is no longer
affiliated with the Democratic party
and that in the future he intends to
vote for men and not political parties.
Earl T. Crawford is a resident Of
Washington township, Wayne county,
and last year represented Wayne and
F,ayette counties in the lower house OF
the legislature, being elected on the
Democratic ticket. In the assembly he
conducted a vigorous warfare against
the Taggart machine and was at
swords points practically all the time
with Speaker Cook. Because of his
actions he won the undying hatred of
the machine and the word went forth
this year that he must, under no con-
sideration, be re-nominated. Conse-
quently a candidate was brought out
against him, Lawrence Bertsch, of
Cambridge City, although it is custom
airy to re-nominate a member of the
legislature for second term without
opposition. Crawford then announced
that he would not be candidate but
intended to take the stump against any
machine candidate for the legislature.
He has addressed a public letter to
DR.. G. I. Stotelmyer, Democratic can
didate for senator, and Robert Beren,
Democratic candidate for representa-
tive. asking them if they stand for ma.
chine rule, and has resigned from the
Democratic club in western Wayne
county.

SWATS STEPFATHER

Chester Harsh today drew fine of
$40 and costs for assaulting his Grip
pied stepfather, Thomas Deever.
Harsh told Mayor Robbins that he
was provoked into striking Deever,
whom, he asserted, had not drawn a
sober breath for several weeks. Harsh
said that while at home yesterday aft
ernoon he had occasion to rebuke one
of his young stepbrothers for misbe-
havior. He said this action was re-
sented by Deever, who hit him with
a crutch. Harsh said he then lost his
temper and struck his stepfather. 1t
is said the old mans jaw is fractured.

fed that Deever did no strike
