REFUSES TO SET ASIDE
FRANK DEATH SENTENCE
Georgia Supreme Court Holds
Waiver of Attorneys Binds Ac-
cused Girl Slayer. &.

ATLANTA. Ga, November l4.-An-
nulment of the death sentence pro-
nounced on Leo NJ. Frank for the mur-
der of fourteen-year- old Mary Phagan
was refused here today by the supreme
court of Georgia. 1t was the sixth time
that legal efforts in Franks behalf
had failed.
Hope of saving the life of Frank, who
was superintendent of a large pencil
factory here. now rests in a possible
appeal to the Supreme Court of the
United States or an appeal to the Gov
crnor of Georgia to exercise clemencv.
His counsel said late today that an i'm
mediate attempt would be made to
take the case to the federal Supreme
Court.
The motion to set aside the verdict OF
guilty was based upon the ground that
Franks absence from the courtroom
when it was returned by the jury was
4 violation of constitutional rights Of
the accused.
Counsel for Frank, with one excep-
tion, and the states attorneys agreed
the aDSGi!cS-
Main Contention Denied.
Today's decision was concurred in by
four of the five Supreme Court justices.
The opinion, which was written by As
sociate Justice Warner Hill, held that
the annulment motion could and should
have been made in a previous appeal
for a new trial.
Commenting on the right of counsel
to waive the presence of Frank in the
courtroom, the courts opinion said:
WHO was better prepared to protect
the interests of the defendant. trained
and expert counsel or the defendant
himself? True, he had the right to
conduct the trial in person, If he so de
sired but the defendant had committed
his case to the able and experienced
counsel, who, in the exercise of their
relation as attorneys for the Client
waived his right to be present, ana
having made the waiver, and defendant
by his conduct having acquiesced IN
it, he should be bound by it

nority faction in the convention makes
no secret of it's disappointment over

A formal statement was given out to-
night by Mrs. Gertrude Halliday Leon
ard of Boston. who has vigorously op-
posed the administration program and
who presided at the nati-administra-
tion caucus Mrs Leonard, in her state
ment. said:
Il am a member of the Congressional

on sympathy with the union. We do
not bel1eve in the Shafroth amend
ment. On the motion to support that
amendment the vote in the convention
was 1874 for and 100 against. This
seems to me too large a minority to
make such policy advisable"
Sharp Verbal Tilt.
sharp verbal tilt between Mrs. L.
Crozier-French of knoxville, Tenn, and
Miss Kate NJ. Gordon of New Orleans,
arising from the delegates action yes
terday on the contest for seats waged
by rival Tennessee delegations, en-
livened today's session of the national
association. The convention had voted
to seat both Tennessee factions, one
headed by Mrs. French and the other
by Mrs. James Mccormick of Memphis,
giving each delegate half a vote.
Rising to a question of personal privi-
lege Mrs. French charged that the spe-
cial committees decision on the con-
test had been determined by prejudice.
The chairman of the special commit
tee," said Mrs. Crozier-French, heated
ly, has done our state association an
injustice. She has discrminat ted

Mrs. French has made an attack upon

cally resent it. Her personal charges
against me are unfounded in fact and I

Mrs. Greeley of New York, a member
of the committee. was recognized and
told the delegates that the committees
decision was reached without the vote of
the chairman.
The convention then voted to reconsider
action on the contest and a
motion was adopted to seat both the

FREE DENTAL CLINIC
FOR SCHOOL CHILDREN
Washington Dentists Hope to Edu.
cate Parents to Care for Teeth
of Children.

To arouse interest of parents in the
welfare of children's teeth is the ain
of the National Capital Dental Society
which is completing arrangements fol
a free dental clinic in public schools
The clinic is for children whose parents
cannot afford to have their teeth
treated.
The board of education has set aside
schoolrooin for. the use of the dental
organization. Here for two hours each
afternoon two dentists are to furnish
free treatment. From time to time
clinics will be transferred from one
school building to another. SO that all
parts of the city may be mutually
benefited
First Clinic a Week Away.
Monday. week away, will proba bly,
mark the formal opening of the clinic,
The start is to be made in the Pierce
School, 18th and G streets northeast,
sixth division. of which Miss Flora L.
Hendley is supervising principal
Members of the dental society state
that the movement is solely to interest
parents in the care of the teeth of
their children. They hope that by the
end. next year, that some action will
be taken by which two dentists may
be employed at 4 nominal salary to
look after teeth of children whose
parents are too poor to pay to have
them treated.
At present two dental inspectors are
employed by the schools-one for white
and one for colored pupils. These in
spectators, after inspecting the teeth of
the children, give them cards showing
what teeth need attention. These cards
are taken to the parents.
Inspectors Overworked.
AS a matter of fact two dental in
spectors are not sufficient for the
schools. On the assumption that the
average child's mouth contains at
least twenty teeth, and as there are
about $1,000 children in the schools,
this totals about $4,000 teeth to each
inspector.
Expressing his interest in the plan
proposed by the National Capital Den
tai Society yesterday, Ernest L. Thurs
ton, superintendent of schools. said:
Even apart from the physical benefits
to be derived by the boys and girls
from this plan, the matter of retarda-
ton must be considered. l have no
doubt but that bad teeth tend to retard
a number of children in the schools.
What child with a toothache can give
full attention to his studies?'
