DECISION AGAINST FRANK
Superior Court Denies Motion for a
New Trial

Atlanta. May THE Fulton coun-
ty superior court denied yesterday
the extraordinary motion for a new
trial forLeo NJ. Frank. the young fac
tory superintendent under sentence
of death, for the murder in April, last
year, of Mary Phagen. a factory girl.
In denying the motion Judge Hill an
nounced that he would sign bill OF
exceptions, thus allowing the ruling
to be appealed to the state supreme
court.
Judge Hills announcement that he
would not sustain Franks motion for
new trial came Unexpectedly at the
close of arguments by the defense.
Lawyers for Frank intimated that
they would file bill of exceptions
forthwith, while the promised sigma
ture of Judge Hill will take the case
to the Georgia supreme court.

Mother of Our Regiment

Tn reading the reports of our boys who were killed the other day at Vera Cruz being brought back to the United States and that they are to be met by President Wilson, brings to my mind a story" says J. c. Goodwin.
 "A number of our Rough Riders went to New York to celebrate the return of Roosevelt from Africa. Our headquarters was at the New Buck ingham hotel and with us was Major Alex. o. Brodie and his wife.
 Mrs. Brodie is called by the boys the mother of our regiment She calls all the Rough Riders her boys, and they are all alike to her. One evening while we were sitting in the lobby of the hotel telling stories Mrs Brodie told us little incident that happened in New York.
 She said: Looking over the pa- pers one evening l saw notice that our boys that had been killed in Cuba would arrive in New York the next morning and I thought now when they arrive there will be no one there to meet them. When our other boys returned from Cuba they were met by their mothers, their sisters,

BURNING OF ROME MAKES
 MAGNIFICENT PICTURE
Will Be Seen in Phoenix in Splendid
 Production of Quo vadis"

The glorious photo- drama produc- tion, Quo Vadis,'' has aroused a great deal of discussion among readers and students of history, and many have broken into print on the subject. The particular incidents of interest and doubt, also, are the setting on fire of Rome and the persecution of the Christians. According to Mir. Kleine's photo drama production of Sienkie- wicz's novel, Quo vadis," Nero was a despicable character, an incendiary and a brute of the most horrible de- scrption. However, according to the most reliable historic authorities, he was not quite so bad as he is pie tured on the screen. Tacitus, whose annals were written shortly after the episodes occurred, is loath to blame Nero altogether for the burning of Rome, although he admits it might have been so, Nero was infected with the desire to shine as con structor'' and caused the city to be fired in order to clear the ground that he might build a new Rome" Taci-
  provemets Nero had sought to make had been bitterly opposed by the property owners of a certain class and that they never became recon ciled to the changes made after the fire although they were all, admit tedly, vastly beneficial hygienically and otherwise.
 hn cf that he had found Rome city of brick and left it one of marble. it was still filled with wooden houses when the conflagration occurred Moreover, it was insufficiently pro- vided with fire protectors. The regu- lations established by Nero after the great fire show that previous to that event it had been peculiarly subject to danger from flames. Apparently. fire walls were not common. On sev- eral occasions before, the city had been nearly destroyed by conflagration and in every instance the charge ap- pears to have been made that the disasters were caused by incendiaries. One of the most extraordinary fea-
 
 manner in which he treats the rumors that the Christians had set fire to the city.
 The Christians of Rome Were in the habit of denOuncing the corruption ot it's people, and were constan l.- predi- eating the destruction of thA world. The Apocalypse, attributed to St John the Divine. but which was proo- ably written toward the close of the first century of our era, had undouot- edly been preceded by prophecies; equally lurid. and aggressively prose lyting disposition of the 'Christians no doubt led them into indiscretion of utterance which was misconstrued and remembered when the predicted dis aster overlook the city.

LIQUOR TREATMENT
 IS GUARANTEED

No matter what your opinion or prejudice may be. the fact remains that the NEAL 3-DAY DRINK TREATMENT does the work. thor oughly eliminating every vestige of the stored-up alcoholic poison from the system in three days; leaving the patient in the condition he was in be- fore taking his first drink. This re- suit is guaranteed or no charge
 Instead of taking a four to seven weeks course of hypodermic injec- tons, the worst cases are entirely restored to normal condition by the NEAL TREATMENT in three days. If. at the end of the treatment the re- suits are not entirely satisfactory to the patient and his friends, the treat ment will not cost them a penny This guarantee of satisfaction is backed by a responsible concern with $l,O00,00O capital.
 The NEAL 3-DAY LIQUOR is highly endorsed by Bankers, Clergymen, Public Officials. Judges and Professional Business Men. Thousands of leading physi- 1 cians have investigated and are CO., | operating with us.
 DRUG PROJECTIONS
 Dr. Neal has perfected the most 1 successful drug treatment yet known. l Like his NEAL 3-DAY LIQUOR CURE, it. is an internal treatment composed of harmless vegetable medi- cine. From four to fourteen days is generally sufficient to completely conquer any case of drug addiction.
