Atlanta, Ca, March 1S.-Detective
Burns announced yesterday that he
would press the case of Leo NJ Frank,
convicted of the murder of Mary
Phagan, from the ground up" and
that he believed he would be able to
name the real murderer of the little
girl.
Burns was in conference with Frank
and the latter's attorneys. Don G..
Seitz. manager of the New York
World also took part in the conference.
Mr.. Seits seemed greatly impressed
by the statements made by the pris-
oner. Burns already is reported to
have uncovered several important
leads on which he will put his opera
tives to work at once.
The detectives investigation is ex-
pected to throw light on some of the
mysteries of the case incidental to the
main features. such as the form by
affidavit and the testimony of a num-
Der of the witnesses of the state who
since the trial have repudiated vital
evidence.
Investigate Charges of Perjury.
Operatives are said to be working
on these phases of the case and to be
all charges and rumors
of perjured testimony and of efforts to
influence unduly witnesses who were
called to testify both by the prosecu-
ton and by the defense.
Burns has the assurance of New
port Lanford, chief of detectives, that
all assistance his department can fur
nish will be given, and that he and all
members of his department stand
ready to answer any questions Mr..
Burns may desire to ask.

to Davenport in an effort to wiring a

Keeby in connection with the Chicago /

Huron. s. ID. March 1s.-Any re-
union with the republican party was
declared to be impossible by leaders
OF the progressive party who addressed
a meeting held here yesterday for the
purpose OF outlining the policies OF the
third party in South Dakota
Clifford Pinchot. chief forester OF the
Roosevelt administration. was the
main speaker. He devoted his address
TO an attack on the progressive re-
publicans" who are trying 10 get an
amalgamation. He accused Herbert ).
Hadley of having betrayed the Roose-
welt forces in the Chicago convention
and of having used his leadership In
an effort to win the nomination for
himself. Cummins. he said, was per-
sonaIly honest, but has gone behind
the time and Borah was denounced
as one who changed his political atti-
tudes as rapidly as weather vane
revolves.
Republican Party Is of Past.
THE republican party is a thing of
the past" Mr.. Pinchot said. "Disloyal
10 it's traditions and its record, split
into factions, contentious, unhappy,
weak, it is seeking feverishly for help
that it cannot find. Its last days are
upon il. Consider now the contrast,
united, homogeneous, confident, strong,
the progressive party-loyal to its
principles and certain of its success
has only just begun to fight. The
past belongs to the republicans. The
democrats are actually in power. But
TO US belongs the future, and that is
the best OF all.
THE republicans are divided againft |
themselves. But we know that a house |
divided against itself cannot stand.
I'VE are asked TO move into this fall |
ing house. Men like Cummins, Bris-
tow. Borah. Hadley and LaFolIette,
calling themselves progressive repub-
licans. invite US to come and join
them in the hopeless effort to prop up
the shaky ruin.
Regrets Loss of CummIns.

there is anything in this case that the
Atlanta department has overlooked
we will be glad to have IL shown TO
us. We want to solve the mystery IL 1t
has not already been solved, as of
course we believe It has. But IL there
is any uncertainty remaining we are
eager TO clear IL up
1t is stated that the detective de-
partment has collected new evidence
that will be used TO oppose the mo-
ton of the defense for a new trial.
Growing Demand for New Trial.
Meanwhile the demand that Frank
be given a new trial is growing.
Scores OF letters are being published
from Georgians asserting their belief
that Frank was unfairly convicted and
that the state owes 1t to itself to grant
him a fair trial. These letters come
from all sections of the state and
from all classes.
AS a consequence OF the sermons de-
livered in three Atlanta pulpits Sun
day night asking new trial for Frank
T. ]. Osborn, one of the IL jurors who
returned the verdict of guilty, has
written a communication to the At
lanta Constitution asserting that he
jury weighed the evidence against
Frank without prejudice and gave its
verdict according to the law and the
evidence. He declares the infiamed
condition of the public mind did not
influence the jury in arriving at its
verdict and maintains that the verdict
was righteous and the sentence just.

Rockford Real Estate Men Have
Best Year in History, Says
Rockford Star, Jan. l.
Dry Policy Increases Business About Thirty Per Cent

The following are excerpts from the
Rockford Star, January 1, 1914:
"The exchange of real estate, the
building of new homes, and the ac-
QUESTION of property by new residents,
is one of the potent factors in reckon
ing municipal prosperity. a city relies
on it's home builders for the essential
advances along every line, for expan-
sion from limit to limit and for the
success of its every scheme of mutual
betterment.
Charles E. Jackson, president of
the local real estate board, declared
few months ago during the unusual
activity OF the late summer and early
fall, that Rockford was enjoying one
of the greatest bursts of prosperity
in its history. In the opinion of the
board, which includes every prom
inent dealer in the city, Rockford was
then in the midst of real boom. New
structures were springing up, not in
certain portions of the city, but in
every division within the limits.
Workmen were at a premium.
Lumber was unloaded in local
freight yaTuS III greater QUANTITIES
than ever before. Wholesale dealers
found it hard to supply the demand,
and withal the number of homes con-
structed failed to provide sufficient
for the needs of the
city. In travelling throughout several
western states, and with a view of the
operations in eastern cities, no single
instance has come to my knowledge
Mr.. Jackson, of another
city the size of Rockford or even
larger which had enjoyed or were en-
joying the building activity which had
developed here

agents do not receive requests from
out-of-town people for houses to rent,

unable to return satisfactory answers.

The excretory ducts and glands should

The next thing is to raise the tone
