REPUDIATEs AFFIDAVIT.
ssEE, We
Witness in Frank Case Says he was
Bribed TO- Favor Defendant.

+ Atlanta Gag May 4. Arguments a!
Ion the extraordinary motion for a
new trial for Leo NJ. Frank, the fac
tory superintendent, awaiting execu-
tion for the murder of Mary Pha-
Fgan, fourteen years old, resumed in
the Superior Court here today.
Present indications are that the
new trial hearing will be concluded
by Wednesday. Judge Hill is ex-
pected to take the case under adj
visement for few days before an
nouncing his decision. No time has
vet been set for hearing of argu-
ments of another motion, which asks
that the verdict of guilty be set
aside because Frank was not in the
courtroom when it was returned.
J. E. Duffey. who was a witness
for the State at. the trial of the fac
tory superintendent, and who recent
ly made an affidavit for the defense,
reputliating his testimony, has made
another sworn statement, in which
he insists that his original testi-
mony regarding bloodstains on the
second floor Of the National Pencil
Company's plant was correct. Duff
few asserts that he was bribed to
repudiate his original testimony.
Two negroes were arrested by the
police here yesterday on suspicion of
having been connected with the
shooting and killing of Harry Wolfe,
local grocery merchant, Saturday
night.
An unknown negro entered Wolfe's
store and demanded that the mer-
chant, who was alone, surrender his
money. When Wolfe objected and
made move as though he was 60
ing tc draw a revolver, the negro
produced revolver and shot the
storekeeper.
Persons nes = the store heard the
shot and rushed to the place, finding
TIE storekeeper lying on the floor
with mortal wound. Wolfe was
rushed to a hospital, where he died
within an hour. He was shot through
the abdomen, the bullet penetrating
the groin. --..

Third WEEK OF 40.f
DAYS CAMP PA|GNi

Nearly One-Half of $4,000
For New Hospital Has
Been Raised.
QUICK GIVING CLUB.
Commendable Work; of Sunday Schools
Every Subscription TO Work to be
Published Monday.

The Hospital workers started the
third week Of their forty days cam
paign with cash and pledges amount
ing to nearly one-half of the $780,
10000 desired and two-t thirds of the
S30,000.00, on which the subscrip-
tons to date are based.
In addition to this amount OF SOL
424, which was placed upon the rap
idly rising thermometer of the
executive committee, the collection
of subscriptions by the schools will
not be known until tonight when the
committee attendig them viii make
their report. The Sunday schools
did nobly, contributing over SSOOOO,
which has been reported, and it is
hoped that as a number of the clas-
ses were unable to make report yes
terday, that the amount contributed
by them will reach $1,0O0.00. 1t is
also known that a number of large
subscriptions have been promised
and that number of prominent and
wealthy citizens have not been seen.
Owing to the lack of time on the
part of the committee it should be
remembered in this connection, that
the failure to call upon everyone
should not be considered q slight. 1t
is impossible to give personal appli-
cation to everyone in so short a
time and it is hoped that this will
be understood
The committee and trustees hope
that every citizen will contribute
something, whether large Or small,
to this great charity. Every sub
scription made heretofore will be
published on Thursday. Send in
yours now, and be identified with
the "Quick Giving Club"
.Alexandrans ought to be proud OF
their Sunday Schools. 1t only shows
what can be expected from our fu-
ture citizens, if out of their small
funds they contribute such an
amount as shown above, and 1t only
goes to show that Alexandria will
mot be lacking in the next genera
ton for earnest, active and intelIl-
oart workers It is understood that
the schools have been very active
and liberal in their contributions.
About noon it was learned thaC
the score amount had been Increased
bv S1,1OO. 1t is interesting to note
as an evidence Of the feeling among
our neighbors in Fairfax, that two
Young Quaker ladies from the couh-
ty employed in Washington city de-
cidcd to make candy and sell it for
the Hospital Fund, and although
their time is limited, they have Sc
cured $500 a week for the last three
weeks.

WANT ARBITRATION.
Lawmakers May Pass Bill Forcing
Such Procedure-Saloons Closed
and Forbid Shipment of Arms.

Denver, COL, May 4.--To pay TIRE
price for the seven months strike and
civil war in southern Colorado the
State legislature met here in special
session today in response to the call
of Governor E. w. Ammons.
Although the principal purpose of
the session, as specified in the call is
the appropriation of funds to ireet the
cost of maintaining state troops in
the field, and to pass other laws sug
gested by the strike, these probably
will be overshatowed at the outset by
a plan to impeach the governor. That
such a solution will be introduce in
the house seems certain, but frienc'
Of the executive are sure it will fail.
With the impeachment matter
of the road, it is probable that b
providing for compulsory arbitration,
the establishment of a permanent con-
stabu!ary, and the regulation of
use of mine guards in strike disputes
will be introduced. Union memb
are bitterly opposed to the constabu-
larry measures as discriminating
against unon men.
While the session is organizir:.
both operators and miners leaders ar
turning their attention to possible
prosecutions, the outgrov:th Of the.
fighting during the last two we.
in the coial fields.
john P. White, John R. Lawson:
John McLennan, Ew5ri Doyle,
Frank Hayes, and other district inter-
national leaders of the United Mine
Workers of America, have been
threatened by the mine owners with
arrest on charge of murder or con-
spiracy to murder il, connection with
last weeks battle at Forbes, wner
seven mine guards were slain, and
with the battle of Walsenburg on the
i'same day which cost the lives Of Ma.
ior H. P. Lester, of the hospital corps
and two strikers. The union leaders
say they do not fear any such prose-
cution, however.
1t is reported that Judge Horace
Hawkins, attorney for the miners, will
bring charges against John D. Rookie
felier, Jr., in connection with thu
massacre of Lu:low" if Gsny Of the
union men are accused. The miners
point to the verdict of the coroner'S
Jury returned to Trinidad and the re-
port of the military board of inquiry
returned here Saturday night. The
one held the mine guards and militia
men directly responsible for the death
of eleven children and two women at
Lusaow.
The work of disarmament Of mine
guards and strikers in all the coal
fields is proceeding rapidly under the
direction of United States troops

treating of modern conditions in New

from such eminent Americans as the
Rev. Charles H. Pankhurst, who wrote
of the play "AIl employers of labor,
who underpay their women EMPLOYEES,
should go to see this play for the les
son it will teach them" and the Bis

never forget the lesson it portrayed. ?

Heavy quality crepe de chine is used
for this dressy little spring coat, which
is sure to find high favor throughout
the season. The back, sleeve and front
yoke are cut in one piece, and the
trimming is carried out in striped silk
or satin. Quite practical idea, too, is
to have belt collar and cuffs OF the coat
material. with fancy collar. etc. of lin
en- or embroidery.

IA LITTLE CREPE COAT.

Open wide the material and arrange
along one edge the undertaking (C).
the back sleeve and front yoke (B) and
front CA). The skirt can be cut from one
end and the belt from the other edge
Now take fold of the crepe about 8
inches wide and place on this the COL
lar CE). Pin all in place carefully and
cut.
The front OF the coat Is now gathered
at the upper and lower edges; also
gather lower edge of back between
double TT perforations. Sew yoke to
upper edge Of front as notched, centers
even: large 20" perforations indicate
center-Gront. Close under-arm and
sleeve seams as notched; close center
back seam. Close cum seam as notch
ed: sew to lower edge of long sleeve,
notches and seams even. Large "o'
perforations in skirt Indicate center
front; close back seam, sew to lower
edge of front and back, centers even,
small co. perforation at under-arm
seam. Adjust undertaking to position
underneath front of coat, correspond
ing edges even. Adjust belt, centers
even. Sew collar to neck edge as
notched. If desired, roll collar and
front on single small 20" perforations.
For the adjustment, fancy buttons
are suggested, and with these may be
combined narrow loops of fancy braid.
The coat Is equally effective carried
out in soft silk. 1t also looks well in
tub materials, but the gathered effect
makes the problem of laundering q
difficult one.
