LEO FRANK

GEORGIA SUPREME COURT HAS
AFFIRMED DEATH SENTENCE
OF LEO FRANK, sUPERINreNo.
EMIT OF A PENCIL FACTORY,
FOR MURDER OF GIRL.
[By Associated Pressl

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 1.-THE Georgia
Supreme Court today affirmed the
sentence Of Leo Frank, convicted of
the murder OF Mary Phagan, a four
teen year old employe OF the pencil
factory where Frank was superintend-
ent. Frank had been sentenced to
hang. but the execution was post
poned pending the outcome of the ap-
peal decided today.
The dead body of the girl was found
by a negro porter in room in the
basement of the factory. The negro
was later arrested and Frank was
active in an effort to fasten the crime
upon him. The negro, however, stated
that Frank himself had murdered the
girl in his private office after being
closeted with her for long time, and
that he (the negro) helped to carry
her body to the basement In the de-
yelopment of this theory everything
corroborated the negro's statement
and Franks conviction followed.

PICTURE SHOWS
WILL CUT SERVICE
Great Advance in Service Will Force
This Step to Be Taken by Local
Show Houses at Once.

Beginning Friday, February 20, the
local picture shows in Bryan will dis
continue the long programs customari-
ly given and will show only three
reels lin the afternoon and three at
night, with change of program. This
action is made imperative by the great
advance in price of service to the
showmen and has been brought about
by the fact that all leading actors and
actresses are now going into the NOV
ing picture business .nd are acquir-
ing handsome sums of money for
their services.
This line of business, like all other
lines, has increased in service, and
one can now see for a dime some of
the best show people of modern times
work for an hour, elegantly costumed
and otherwise up-to-date, which re-
quires a larger sum of money to pro-
duce than when the business was in
its infancy.
With the change as is intended one
will not be forced to spend the entire
evening in a show to see the SHOW
out" but will give everyone the OPP
portunity to see both shows or spend
at least part of the evening at other
things which will be acceptable to the
people of Bryan, who are always as
sured that they can see the latest re-
leased pictures and the best in the
line. From time to time the best |
features will be given by both houses
and advertised in The Eagle. for which
the showmen tell us an extra charge
will be made as is done in other cities
the size of Bryan.
The following statement from
Messrs. Fairman and Marks was hand.
ed in for publication:
To the Picture Show Patrons:
Owing to the heavy advance in price

Arguments have been advanced favor

NEWS OF FINANCIAL INTEREST
STOCK EXCHANGE HALTS
PLAN TO DEAL IN BONDS
Unforeseen Difficulties Prevent
Trading Tomorrow or
Monday.

The Stock Exchange authorities an
nounced yesterday that owing to unfore-
seen difficulties the reopening Of the board
for dealings in miscellaneous bonds had
been Indefinitely postponed. The plan for
q resumption OF dealings In bonds has
been under consideration by the commit
tee Of five for some time past. Announce
ment was made yesterday. morning that
all the details of the plan had been com
pleted and that II had been decided to
reopen tomorrow or Monday. The notice
that no decision had been reached was
made just at the moment when Wall
street was confidently expecting official
confirmation OF these reports and caused
keen disappointment
The only explanation given out by the
committee was that Unforeseen difficulties
had arisen which necessitated further
confederation OF the matter. One OF these
obstacles, Il was said. was that a con-
siderable number of leading bond dealers
were away from the city and l; had been
promised that ample notice would be given
of any reopening.
The general opinion In Wall Street was
that the committee had been moved to
contradict stories of a reopening this week
by Information that there had been
sudden accumulation Of heavy selling
orders In brokers' hands. No direct con-
firmation Of this report could be OBJ
tanned
