it is favorable to Frank.
Solicitor Dorsey has expressed
doubt as to the legality of amending
the extraordinary motion after it Is
filed and it is supposed that he will
oppose any move of the sort. Counsel
for Frank say that they have no I'M
easiness on this point. They declare
they are privileged to amend the mo-
ton right up to the time of the ar
guments.
The extraordinary motion will be
filed with Judge Hill in his court room

Of any one incident, but Of a score
~ thrusts at the United states by
President Huerta and his officials
For some time past the official
memorandum stated, the de facto
government Of Mexico has seemed
10 think mere apology suitcieut Wheh
the rights Of American citizens Or
the dignity Of the Government OF lue
United states was involved and mas
apparently made no attempt at repa
ration or effective correction OF inc
serious dereliction Of its civil ana

Immediately after the incident at

orderly in uniform from one OF the

Held Up Official Message.
The most serious offense Of ALL
however. was the forcible censorship
by the Huerta Government or an OF
ficial dispatch from the State De
partment to Charge O'Shaughnessy
This incident. made public for the
first time to-day, occurred few days
ago when the official in charge Of the
telegraph Office at Mexico City pre-
sumed to withhold an official dispatch
OF the Government of the United
States to its Embassy at Mexico city,
until it should have been sent TO the
censor and his permission received to
deliver IT. Huerta's officials gave the
dispatch to Charge O'Shaughnessy
only upon his personal and emphatic
demand He learned through other
channels that a dispatch had been
sent to him which he had not re-
Ceived
These repeated offenses against tho
rights and dignity OF the United
States, offenses not duplicated with
regard to the representatives Of other
Governments, have made the impress
sion that the Government Of the
United states was singled ont for

Meat,

When you wake up with baCkaChe
and dull misery in the kidney region
it generally means you have been
eating too much meat, says a we'll

acid, which overworks the kidneys in
their effort to filter 1t from the blood,
and they become sort of paralyzed and

Of FRANK
HANGING ONLY
ONE DAY OFF
Interest Centers in Disposition Of
Extraordinary Motion-DeIay
of Execution Certain.

With only day intervening before
the date set for the execution of Leo
Frank. interest centered Wednesday
in the probable outcome of the eX-
traordinary motion which will be filed
Thursday with Judge Hill
Frank is under sentence to he
hanged on Friday, but it is regarded
as certain that his execution will be
delayed for weeks and possibly
months.
Judge Hill may make any one Of
three dispositions Of the motion for a
new trial He may deny it at cnce
without allowing the lawyers for the
defense an opportunity to offer oral
arguments Should Solicitor Dorsey
announce that he had no counter
showing to make. the judge could
permit the hearing to 60 on at once.
Fixing of Hearing Likely.
The probable procedure, however,
will be the setting Of a date for a
hearing on the motion and the issu-
ance of an order superseding the sem
tence to hang. Should the motion be
denied by Judge Hill Thursday.
Franks lawyers can make an appeal
to the Supreme Court which will have
the effect of staying execution while
the appeal is under consideration.
The defense also will have recourse
to an appeal in the event that the
motion is denied after a hearing Of
arguments. The Supreme Court hear
ing is immediate.
Solicitor Dorsey was expected to
return to Atlanta Wednesday after
noon to complete his preparations for
lighting the extraordinary motion. He
has been in Valdosta nearly a week
working on the case He has a num-
Der of counter affidavits in his pos
session with which he proposes tC
combat the new evidence which has
been obtained by Franks lawyers. II
he files these with Judge Hill. it is
likely that counsel for the defense will
ask for time in which to prepare re-
plies.

Rear Admiral Mayo allowed the
