SLAPPED BURNS FACE
THE DETECTIVE is ROUGHLY
HANDLED BY MARIETTA MEN.
After He Is Assaulted He Is Rushed
to "a Hotel Where Officers Guard
Him. Leaves For Atlanta.


MARIETTA, GAVIN. J. Burns,
the detective, was the center of an
angry demonstration when he came
here late today, presumably in con-
nection with an investigation Of the
case of Leo NJ. Frank, the young
factory superintendent at Atlanta I'M
der sentence of death for the murder
of 14-year-old Mary Phagar. One
person in the large crowd that sur
presence was discovered struck the
detective in the face and threats of
violence were made if Burns made
any attempt to resist. The detective
Immediately went to a hotel while
another detective, c. w. Burke, who
accompanied him here, summoned
deputy sheriffs to guard Burns.
Home of Factory Girl
This was the home of the murder
ed factory girl and many of her rela-
tives still live here. Much feeling
has been aroused by the detectives
declaration that Frank was not guilty
and that James Conley, a negro fac
tory sweeper, convicted as an acces-
sorry after the murder, was RESPONSE
BILE for the crime.
Egged Detective Burns.
AS soon as the officers were noti-
fed of the demonstration against the
detective they went to the hotel
where Burns had taken refuge. For
mer Judge Morris also went there,
and it was decided that it was best
for Burns to leave for Atlanta as
quickly as possible. An automobile
was summoned and the detective, ac-
companied by Deputy Sheriff Hicks
and Judge Morris, quickely entered
it. Jeers and threats were shouted
by the crowd and eggs thrown at
Burns. One hit Judge Morris, but
the detective was not touched The
other detective and the chauffeur
who brought the two men here were
guarded tonight to prvent violence.
An unusually large crowd was here
today on account of a primary for
the select on of candidates for coGn-
ty officer. Burns and Burke came
here in an automobile and were at
garage having come repairs made on
the car when they we're discovered
and the demonstration started.

NO HOPE FOR ENTONBED MINERS
The 172 Men Trapped in Mine Are
Conceded Dead. Fifty Bodies
Have Been Located.

ECCLES, w. Va.-Hope that any
of the t72 men trapped in mine No
5, of the New River Galleries Com
pany, by an explosion Tuesday, are
alive, was abandoned tonight by gov
eminent and state experts. At 9
o'clock fifty bodies had been located
in the mine and it was expected that
all of these would be brought to the
surface before daylight. A black
smith shop near the mine tipple has
been turned into a temporary
morgue.
Bodies Badly Burned
Most of the bodies are said to be
badly burned. It is believed no adj
ditionaI bodies will be found near
the mouth of the mine and that many
of the other victims are buried un-
der heavy debris.
A thorough search of the mine is
being retarded by falls of rock and
mine timbers, while water from bro
ken lines covers the floor of the mine
to a depth of three feet in some
places
When the word spread that rescue
parties had succeeded in entering
the mine and that many bodies were
being found the entire population of
Eccles and hundreds of persons from
surrounding communities rushed to
the scene.

FLORIDA cities that have recently

two things, however, about the list
that do not go to support Mr.. Roess'
argument. One is THAT no town nor

If the Germans capture and can
hold Ostend, it will be the source of
a greater danger to the British than
the threat of a Zeppelin invasion.
Ostend has not a good harbor and a
German fleet could not use it as a
base without first defeating the Brit
ish on the sea. But submarine
can he loaded on two freight cars,
and the Germans could send SUBJ
marines by rail from their North
Sea ports and launch them at Ostend
in striking distance of the British
ihar bors. Three or four submarines
would make the sea between Bel
gium, Holland and Britain unsafe fol
British ships, either war vessels Oh

is now under the guns of the British
fleet. But half dozen of the Ger
man cannon that smashed the de
