The next MOVE FOR FRANK CASE
Is Causing Much Speculation in At
Ianta. A Rehearing by Supreme
Court May Be Asked.

ATLANTA.-The termination of
the Phagan murder case, whether it
eventually means life or death for
Leo NJ. Frank, is still long way
off-perhaps a year or more.
With two out of six judges on the
state supreme court bench dissenting
in the affirmation of the lower court
verdict it is considered highly prob
able that motion will be made for
a new hearing before the court, and
even if the second hearing is eventu-
ally denied the process will cause
some dalay.
In the event that move fails legal
speculation sees the prospect OF an
extraordinary appeal to the United
States supreme court on the ground
that Frank has been deprived of his
liberty without due process of law"
which in this instance would be
equivalent to an unfair trial.
The alleged existence of race pref
udice in Atlanta against Frank be-
cause he is a Jew, if it could be
proven, would be question which
the United States supreme court
could have jurisdiction in. 1t will be
recalled that attorneys for the de-
Tense compared the Frank triad to
the ritual murder prosecution or
rather persecution, in Russia, IN
which an effort was made to convict
Mendel Beiliss, a Jew.
A good many Of Franks friends at
the time of the trial saw in the m
usual bitter feeling of the crowds on
the street, and the noisy jubilation
at the death verdict, an evidence OF
strong racial prejudice, though eth
ers connected with the case believed
that because of the nature Of the
crime the same popular outburst
of feeling would have taken place
against the accused man no matter
what his race.
Solicitor Dorsey is Of the opinion,
however, that no constitutional ques-
tions is involved that could permit
the case to go TO the United States
sunreme court.

PEOPLE FEED WILD DUCKS.
Birds Are Dying of Hunger in All
Long Island Towns.

The spectacle Of thousands OF wild
ducks dying of hunger has aroused
residents of Long Island towns on
the Great South Bay to action and
daily they are taking large quantities
of food over the ice covered bay to
alleviate the suffering of the fowls.
During the recent zero weather
Great South Bay became covered
with heavy ice and the recent snow
fall has placed three feet Of covering
over the ice. There is only one air
hole. several hundred feet in circum-
ference. where the wild ducks and
geese can feed and thousands of the
Starving fowls have gathered at this
place and are striving to get food.
On the ice near the air hole are hun
dreds of dead ducks.
At many points along the shore,
where there are duck farms, the wild
fowls have gone into the Enclosures
with the tame ones to feed.

THE RELIANCE's DISTINCTION.
Ugly Little Tug Circumnavigated the
Continent OF South America.

An ugly little tug, the Reliance,
has the distinction Of being the first
vessel to circumnavigdte the CONT
nent of South America. 1t consumed
126 days in going from Colon to Pan
ANA around the Horn and one day in
going from Panama to Colon through
the canal. 1t is peculiarly fitting that
boat that has seen hard service in
the work Of helping to build the ca
nal should have won the unique hon
or that the Reliance now holds. A
pleasure ship, a battleship or a mer-
chant ship would have been as proud
of the distinction, but would not have
deserved it so much.

GORE IS EXONERATED
JURY WAS OUT IN SUIT AGAINST
SENATOR TEN MINUTES.
Witnesses For Woman Who Sought
$4,000 Damages Unsuccessful
as AppIiCants For jobs.

OKLAHOMA CITY.-United States
Senator Thomas S. Gore was today
exonerated of charges of improper
conduct by verdict in his favor re-
turned in the district court here in
the suit for $4,000 damages insti-
tuted by Mrs. Minnie E. Bond of Ok
lahoma City.
The verdict was returned at 500
p. m, ten minutes after the case was
given to the jury.
1--WE find" the jury stated in the
verdict, the evidence submitted by
the plaintiff entirely insufficient upon
which to base a suit; that said evil
dence wholly eXonerates the defend
ant, and had the defendant, at the
conclusion of the plaintiffs evidence,
announced that he desired to intro
duce no evidence and rested his case
our verdict would have been the same
in that event as now returned by US,
in favor of the defendant"
Despite the efforts of the bailiffs
to maintain order when the last
words of the verdict, 'in favor of the
defendant" were read the crowd
winch LdA6u LuS COuII uOuoC buihS
into a cheering throng, orderly but
no less determined to give vent to
their feelings.
Those displeased by the verdict
forced their way through the doors
and left in silence amid the bantering
of the senator's friends.
Senator Gore heard the judges de-
cision without change of countenance.
Mrs. Gore was the first to grasp his
hand. When she turned and shook
hands with Henry Carpenter, the
foreman, tears were on the cheeks
of both herself and the aged farmer.
The verdict confirms my faith
that truth will triumph" said Sena-
tor Gore. 81 never for moment
doubted the outcome at the hands
of the jury"
From the time the jurors left the
room to prepare their verdict until
the demonstration was under way
Mrs. Bond sat in silence, leaning on
a table and scribbling on piece OF
paper. She seemed in no haste to
leave the room until she was ap-
preached by her attorneys, when she
arose and walked away with her
husband.

.IST HONORS ARE PAID
.rx,roR BACON LAID TO REST
~ MACON YESTERDAY.
Of distinguished Georgian Low
boo' I,,+o Grave While His City,
state and Nation Grieve.


AEON Cain spite of a chill,
.tao rain thousands of his home
u., .aro followed the body of Augustus
= ,'' Racon. late United States senator,
.5o crave here today. Brief, i'm
,,;ra funeral services were held at
~ at Christ's Episcopal church,
- burial was at Rose Hill cemetery.
, funeral procession OF more than
Milo in length passed from the
',nrcb to the cemetery through
.a,o+s lined with silent throngs OF
.bo dead statesman's fellow towns
.on Governor John M. Slaton and
nombers of his staff, special commit
.oos of the United States senate and
house Of representatives, which ac-
.omnanied the body from Washing
an citv officials, representatives of
tbo Georgia and Macon bar associa-
ions and delegations from many Or
genizations with which Senator Ba-
S 9 had been associated, rode in the
o0rtpge. A half hundred of the dead
senator's confederate comrades and
several companies of militia acted as
special escort.
Final rites were performed by the
CONSERVATIVES of the Masonic fra
tornitv, of which Senator Bacon was
far forty years a member. The brief
Fnfscopalian funeral service at the
church was in charge of the Rev.
John S. Bunting of this city.
Business Houses Closed.
Public schools, all state and city
buildings, and practically every bust
ness house in the city was closed dur
ing the funeral services.
The final tribute to the Georgia
senator was brief, though impressive.
The services were held at Christ's
Episcopal church. Headed by a pro-
cession more than a mile in length,
in which we're representatives of the
nation, state and those who admired
him in Macon, the body was moved
to Rose Hill cemetery.
There by the placid waters of the
0cmulgee river, and in a grave where
lies the Georgia senator's eldest boy,
Augustus, Jr., the flower-banked bier
was lowered to its final resting place.
Message From Wilson.
A message of sympathy and condo
lence from President Wilson and Sec
rotary of State Bryan, penned by the
hand of the latter, was delivered to
Mrs A. 0. Bacon, widow of the la
mented senator, Wednesday night
shortly after the arrival of the funer-
al train. The message was delivered
in person by former Governor Jos. w.
Folk of Missouri, solicitor of the state
department, who was dispatched on
the mission by the secretary of state.
He was accompanied to the Bacon
residence by John T. Boifeuillet and
E. W. StetsOn.

LOS ANGELES have demon
strated the possibilities of aviation
more than 5000 times,'' says Lincoln
Beachey, the famous aviator. II was
unable, however, to solve the genius
of aviation until 1 had Topped the

ed to the signal service.
They Shook Hands.
The Silent Reaper of Souls and 1
shook hands that day.
Thousands of times we have en-
gagged in a race among the clouds
plunging headlong in breathless
fiight-diving and circling with aw-
full speed through ethereal space.
And, many time, when the dazzling
sunlight has blinded my eyes and
sudden darkness has deadened all my
senses 1 have imagined him close at
my heels. On such occasions | have
experienced fright which | can not
explain. Today the old fellow and |

no more. 1t was then that mans cour-
age, coupled with an invention of sci

rounded the flights of the birds.
Courage at the helm Of an aero
plane driven upward into a loop by
the force of propeller blades attach
ed to powerful motors will master the
science of gravity.
The ''Fly-AbOut" Next.
Dirigible balloons and other types
of airships, so-called, will have their
limitations, while the aeroplane, by
reason of its simplicity in construc-
ton and operation, will be known as
the 'fy-about,' and, like the run
about of motordom, will become a
popular means of conveyance with
the masses.

summer to explore uncharted regions
of South America, returned today
with the report that they had found
the bones of members of the Cromer
expedition, who entered the wilds of
Peru nearly two years ago and were

cross to their memory.

Capt. Besley said that he encount-
cred savage cannibal tribes armed
with poison arrows and on one oc-
casion the party was attacked. A
few gun shots drove them off.
