Only the western lines through
the center of Belgium are held by the
Germans. The towns to the east

GOES
ON BLACK LIST
WITH HUERTA

WASHINGTON. March 1.-THE
name OF General Venustiano Carran-
va has been placed on the blacklist
of the American Government along
side that of Victoriano Huerta. The
apparent eleventh hour repentance of
the Constitutionalist leader in APP
pointing a committee to investigate
the death of William :. Benton, after
demanding that all negotiations look
ing to complete inquiry must be
conducted through him alone, will tail
to restore him to the good graces of
the Administration, according to
opinions expressed by high officials
here to-day.
1t is the general belief that any eN-
animation made of the body of Ben
ton after the long delay caused by
Carranza's efforts to force recogni-
ton of his government viii be fruit
less. If he ahd permitted the interna-
tional commission Of investigation to
proceed to Chihuahua at the time
when it was ready to go, it is be-
lieved that an eXhumation of the
body would have shown clearly
whether Benton was executed by a
firing squad or murdered.
The information given to President
Wilson by Sir Lionel Garden, the
British Minister to Mexico, will not
alter President Wilson's attitude OF
.eyatchful waiting The Ambassa-
dor is said to have told the Presi-
dent that Huerta is the strongest

HITS TIME
EVIDENCE
Of ESTATE
Detective Burns Will Announce
Wednesday Whether He Will
Go on With Case.

In his cell at the Tower, Leo
M. Frank was waiting eagerly
Wednesday for the return of
William j. Burns, expected late
that day, with his decision as to
whether he would undertake a
complete investigation of the
murder of Mary Phagan. Burns
went to jackson, Miss, on bust
ness Monday afternoon, after
spending two hours in consulta-
ton with Frank. He stated that
on his return he would announce
his decision with reference to the
case.
In the meantime the New York
statement of Luther Rosser supplied
material for conjecture particularly
his references to fresh proofs that his
client was not in the pencil factory
from 1856 to 1880 o'clock the after
noon of the murder-the time, Conley
testified. that he and the defendant
spent in disposing of the body.
Seen on Street, Says Affiant.
Other contradiction Of the States
proof in the matter of time was re-
ported Wednesday, when it was said
that Harry Latham had returned from
New Orleans, bringing with him an
affidavit to the effect that Mary Pha-
gan had been seen on the streets the
day of the tragedy at a time that
would interfere materially with the
schedule as mapped out by the State.
Added to these various branches OF
the situation was the possibility that
Solicitor Dorsey, following the receipt
Of the remittitur by the Superior
Court, would call for the prisoner TO
he presented in Judge Hills courr
for the repronouncement of sentence.
MI, Dorsey said that he had pre-
pared his petition to Judge Hin for
the necessary writ to have Frank
brought into court for resentencing.
He said he supposed he would pre-
sent II during the day, but was not
absolutely certain Mr.. Dorsey would
not comment on the continued re-
rorts OF new evidence.
1t is within Judge Hills discretion
to sentence Frank to be hanged any
time from 20 to so days from the date
he appears in court
Judge Sees No Alternative.
Judge Hin IS known to hold that
he has no alternative but to fix the
date for the hanging,
No change OF venue from Fulton
County will be asked for Frank il
Judge Ben Hill grants Franks petit
ton for a rehearing, according to At
torney Rosser.
while there still is a great deal of
prejudice and transformation in At
lanta concerning the Frank case
said Rosser IT think people have
changed their opinions.
AT any rate, there is not so strong
q prejudice as there was. If the trial
court agrees, we are willing to have
the case tried there again, because
we believe people are awakening to
the realization that horrible mis-
take may have been made"

Where mighty oceans meet.
This great canal is open

So let's for peace be hoping,
In the land that gave us birth,
Where commerce in her coping
Will prove ou- national worth.
We dedicate this wonder great,
In nineteen fifteen,

Where *Peace and Plenty celebrate
With Panama between.
We honor all those sturdy men,
From President to digger
The congressmen-the army men
All helped to make US bigger;
Without bloodshed, the work was sped
Too great to pause and figure!
The Flag of victorious anne,
With colors tried and true,
Waves DER the Zone like flame
Protecting all that pass thru.
With a meaning ever the same,
Our Flag-the red, white and blue.

Plenty refers to Atlantic.
