Extraordinary Motion for New Trial
Day Before Time Set for Execution.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Atlanta, Ga.-Notice that an extra.
ordinary motion for new trial for
Leo NJ. Frank. under death sentence
for the murder of Mary Phagan, will
be filed on April 16, the day before
that set for the young factory superin-
tendent's execution, has been served
on the Superior Court here. The ex-
traordinary motion will allege that
new evidence favorable to Frank has
been discovered since his conviction
seven months ago.
Several affidavits signed by wit
nesses at the trial of Frank. allege that
the affiants testified falsely against
Frank. Others charge conspiracy of
evidence against Frank, and others at
tempt to establish an alibi for him
An effort also is being made to prove
that the notes found beside the factory
girls body were written in the base
ment of the National pencil factory,
not in the office of Frank, as James
Conley, negro factory sweeper and
chief witness against the convicted su-
perintendent testified.

dreds of bales of cotton were stored:
a dozen or more Wholesale houses; and
the electric light plant, necessitating

An ice cream factory stood six feet
deep in water and was almost CON-
pletely wrecked, while hundreds of
negro cabins along the creek were in

structure built over the bed Of the
creek, was undermined and partially
caved in. A new concrete bridge on

sistance.
The waters receded nearly as fast
as they rose and except for piles Of
debris and household effects that bor-
der the streets, there is no sign of the
flood.

New Oneans-The solidarity Of
New Orleans and Mississippi in war.
peace, politics and commerce, reflect
Ing as il does the solid South, was
never better illustrated than by the
whole-souled manner in which the
press and leaders of Louisiana's twin
sister state have indorsed and sup
ported the New Orleans exposition of
big ideas. From the very first the
press of Mississippi from end to end
OF the state and from the Mississippi
river to the Alabama line adopted as
their slogan the commercial war cry
used by a distinguished citizen Of
Natchez during the recent Mississippi
Valley immigration Convention held
in New Orleans. II is: New Orleans
for the South and the South for New
Orleans"
When the Representatives of the ex-
position of big ideas went to Jackson
last week they found that the leaders
of Mississippi were fully alive to what
New Orleans and Louisiana were do
ing. The plans, aims and ideas of the
exposition found the same hearty sup
port from the progressive citizens Of
Mississippi that has greeted the ex-
position by the foremost workers in
every field throughout the United
States.
The interests of Louisiana and Mis-
sissippi in New Orleans are identical.
New Orleans is the great port of both
states. The growth and prosperity Of
New orleans means their growth and
prosperity. Make New Orleans a great
factory center. for instance, and the
immense storehouses of Mississippi
raw material will find a ready and
profitable market
The press of Mississippi has given
much space to the exposition and
what it means to the entire South, es-
pecially to the twin states" The
press of the entire state has heartily
endorsed it and in doing so it has ac-
curately reflected public opinion
Among the many enterprising papers
of the state that have given the move
ment their able support from the first
are: The Clarksdale Challenge, Water
Valley Progress, The Waynesboro
News-Bcacon, The Crystal Springs
Meteor, The Pascagoula Chronicle.

mel, Vicksburg Democrat, Scott Coun-

WILSON WINNING
ON TEST VOTES
PRESIDENTS POWER is DEMON
STRATED IN A GREAT LEGlS-
lATlVE BATTLE.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-President Wilson won
the opening skirmish of the greatest
legislative battle of his administration
when the house, over bitter protests
from recognized Democratic leaders
and almost solid minority opposition,
adopted a special rule for the consid-
Grafton of the bill repeating the free
tolls provision Of the Panama act.
Speaker Clark, Democratic Leader I'm
derwood, Republican Leader Mann and
Progressive Leader Murdock headed
those lined up against the administra-
ton, but the house responded to the
presidents personal appeal for prompt
consideration of the repeal bill as a
means of supporting his administra-
tons foreign policy.
Two votes demonstrated the presi-
dents commanding influence with his
party in Congress. On the first test,
a motion to end debate and preclude
amendment on the rule, carried by a
vote of POI to 176: the rule itself was
adopted, 200 to 172.
Nothing to compare with the scene
has occurred in the house since the
famous fight against Speaker Cannon
four years ago.
In vain Representative Underwood
took the floor and urged his colleagues
to vote against the rule. The rank and
file Democrats after listening to three
hours of passionate argument swung
into the presidents column, 195 of
them voting to prevent the amend.
ment of the special rule, while but
followed the leaders in joining with
the minority in opposition.
Administration supporters consider
the crucial point passed and jubliant-

New Orleans.-A new boom inde-
pendent of all others, for control of
the Mississippi river by the Federal
Government is about to be launched at
New Orleans, and the call for united
action on the part of every man in
the Mississippi valley.
The plan will be for governmeet con-
troll and administration by a strongly
centralized commission appointed by
the government. Ii will be without
minute details, providing for what
shall be done by the Federal govern.
ment-it will ask nothing more than
that the government take charge Of
the greatest American waterway. 1t
will demand that those planks of the
Republican and Democratic platforms
with regard 10 governmental control
of the river be complied with.
The American Congress is ready to
take immediate action on the project
if it is put up that way-devoid OF
strings and minute details as to plans.
Il have every reason to believe that
Federal control of the Mississippi river
can be secured within 80 days after
the proposition is put up to Congress"
was the declaration of Charles A
Farwell, one of the fathers of the
Cane Growers Association and chair
man of the Mississippi river control
committee of the Association of Com
merce.
when we went to Washington to
get a new postoffice or a new immi-
grafton station we did not tell the
administration and Congress how
many rooms we wanted those build
ings 10 have" Mr.. Farwell emphasized.
when we got what we went after
we took up the minor details. That is
just what we should do in the case of
Federal control of the Mississippi
river. President Wilson has said: In
the case of the Mississippi it is plain
that the Federal government must
build and maintain the levees.' 1t is
now up to us to give them chance to
redeem their pledges"
Mr.. Farwell's plan and the plan Of
the gentlemen who are working with
him in connection with the project
calls for united and immediate action
by the people. 1t is without politics
or strings. 1t is a movement which

Citizens of Winfield and Vicinity
Raising Fund for Rosa Sisson.

Winnfield.-CitiZens or Winfield
and vicinity will probably afford Rosa
Sisson, the 13-year-old girl kidnapped
four years ago by James NJ. Davis,
now in prison at Middleport, Ohio, ar
early opportunity to return to the
Southland for which her young heart
yearns so strongly and increasingly.
A movement was started here Sunday
by ]. e. Clark and o. B. Thompson,
both leading men of Winfield, to
raise a fund for the return of the girl
to Winn parish and to provide a good
home for her here. 1t is expected
that before the end Of the week the
movement will have made material
headway, IL it has not successfully
terminated.
While Davis took the girl away
from Winn parish, it can not be ac-
tually said that he kidnapped her in a
legal sense. Davis married the mother
of the girl, although Rosa was not
his child, and when he left Winn par
ish with the girl in his possession, he
told his wife that he intended to
place her in a good school. That
was the last Mrs. Davis ever heard
of either Davis or the girl. The
mother died two months ago without
knowing whether her daughter was
alive or dead. Constant grief over
the fate of her missing child under
mined her health and undoubtedly
hastened her death, IL it did not ac-
tually produce 1t.
