OF the Justices to Act Fav-
orably in the Application.
RY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Atlanta. Dec. 21-United States
Judge Newman here today declined to
certify the appeal from his decision re-
fusing Leo NJ. Frank, sentenced to die
for the murder of Mary Phagan, a writ
of habeaS corpus.
In denying the certificate Newman
said:
ct would be very glad if the appeal
could be heard by the supreme court
but 1 believe when denied the writ
of habeas corpus I disqualified myself
from certifying there was probable
cause for appeal. do not think there
is such cause"
In order for the appeal to get be-
fore the supreme court now 1t will be
necessary for menr0er OF the court
to act favorably on the application for
an appeal Counsel for Frank left for
Washington tonight to make such ap-
| p1icatfon. 1t was stated the case prob
ably would be the first presented to
| Justice Lamar.
The application for g. writ OF aa-
beas corpus was based upon the allie
cation that Franks constitutional
rights were violated wnen he was alb

.of an extended hearing. that he was
willing to allow Frank to appeal but
| that he would not certify the appeal.
| According to Franks attorneys, un-
| der the law of 1908 relating to appeals
| in habeas corpus cases in the federal
district courts, Judge Newn1an's de-
cision in effect means that they will
be compelled to go before justice
of the supreme court and make applI-
cation to him to grant an appeal before
the matter can be brought before the
highest tribunal. This they said they
intend to do. 1t was stated the matter
first probably would be brought before
Justice Lamar.
In announcing his decision on the
appeal in open court today, Judge
Newman said:
ST would be glad to have the su-
preme court pass upon the question
presented in this proceeding, but since
Il have heard the petition and decided
that l could not issue the writ, l be-
lieye that I cannot say there is prob
able cause for an appeal TO do so
it seems to me, would be contr.- dictory
To have granted the writ would have
meant the discharge Of the prisoner
and from the record and what was pre-
sented, could do that
"T am willing to sllow the appea
but I cannot give a ces dficate of prob
able cause for the saIrs.'
Judge Newman SAID he would give
Franks attorneys copy of his opin-
ion In denying the writ last Saturday
and also a statement of his reason:
for his decision today, which they
might present to the supreme court II
connection with their application fol

Much Interest in Tournament.

Del Monte, Cal, Feb. 20.-Interest
between the golf and polo tourna-

seems to be evenly divided. 1t will
be a very lively week end and, now
that the storm has cleared off, there
should be a good attendance at the
golf tournament, as the golf enthu-
siasts are looking forward with keen
interest to seeing Heinrich Schmidt
and Jeck Neville meet on the Del
Monte links.
The first eight players will start
from scratch. This will give the 10
cal cracks an even break with
Schmidt. Jack Neville, the Califor-
MIA champion, will enter; Frank
Kales will also be a contestant at
Del Monte. Already practicing for
the tournament is Lieutenant Brad
ford, the winner of the Blethen cup
at Del Monte last week, and R. p Tis-
dale, winner of the New Years tour
nament and some thirty or forty
Northwestern players now wintering
at Del Monte.
The polo lineup for Saturday after
noon has not been definitely settled.
1t is known that Captain Wainwright
will have Lieutenant Wall and on the
other side there will be Lieutenant
Reinhardt and DIR. Pick. Theer are
several good polo players who will
be drawn on either one side or the
other. Among them is Captain
