Cinders Are Expelled.
NAPLES, Via Rome.-The erup-
ton of Mount Vesuvius, which began
in May, 1913, has now reached an
acute stage.
The crater, 1000 feet deep, is
gradually transforming itself through
the opening of new assures. These
are emitting incandescent matter
known as magma, which on contact
with the air becomes lava. Of this
matter during the night of October
81 alone more than 100 cubic yards
we're thrown out, reaching a height
of 800 feet. In addition large vol
ume of smoke and ashes and cinders
were expelled. Deep rum blings,
known as StrCmbolian explosions,
are constantly heard.
Despite the fact that in doing so
he was compelled to inhale the pois-
onous gases Professor Mallarda, di-
rector of the observatory on Mount
Vesuvius. has descended into the era
ter to make observations.

FRANKS PLEA DENIED
SUPREME COURT OVERRULES
MOTION FOR NEW HEARING.
Will Now Go to the United States
Supreme Court, and II He Loses
There to Prison Commission.

ATLANTA.-The state supreme
court today refused new trial to
Leo NJ. Frank, convicted here August
25, 1918, for the murder of Mary
Phagan. Franks motion for a re-
hearing was based on the ground that
his constitutional rights had been
violated by reason of his absence
from the court room wien the jury
returned it's verdict.
By sustaining the states demur-
rer to the Frank motion to set aside
the verdict of the lower court the
supreme courts ruling means that
Franks only appeal now is to the
supreme court of the United States.
In their arguments counsel for the
accused alleged that while the jury
was delibera ting the "air about the
court room was surcharged with mob
violence" and that the trial judge
had suggested Frank be absent when
the verdict was rendered. The state
argued that the prisoners attorneys
assented to his absence.
Franks attorneys announced to-
day that they would Immediately APP
peal to the United States supreme
court.
