Among Victims.

ST. LOUIS, March 10.-A mass of
bodies, believed by the firemen to
be the remains of ten or eleven per-
sons, was reached by those delving
in the ruins of the Missouri Ath-
letic Club this morning. A stand
ing wall which was about to topple
forced the firemen to cease their ef-
forts temporarily, but they expected
to reach the bodies soon.
The death list may go above forty.

spots in the ruins and it will be at
least forty eight hours before the
mass of wreckage cam be searched.

seeking the dead continued. By the
glare of flaming arc lights that sent
CHASTITY CLEANS fitting about the wa
Yter-soaked ruins the diggers worked
silently.
A large crowd stood about the
burned building all during the night.
Among the watchers were relatives
and friends of missing men waiting
for the next bodies to be lifted from
under charred timbers and fallen
granite blocks, hoping that each new
find would not be the body of one
they had missed, yet anxious to dis
pei the mystery of the almost certain
death. that had come to all those who
have not been accounted for
Injured in Hospital.
All of the injured men who are
being cared for in hospitals and no.

EVIDENCE Of
DEFENSE IS
GUARDED
Vital ARidavits Just Obtained for
Use in Preparing the Extraor-
binary Motion.

In MS cell at the Fulton County
Tower Leo NJ. Frank Tuesday began
his work of aiding his attorneys IN
the preparation of the plea for new
trial. which will be filed with Judge
Ben Hill, of the Superior Court, about
ten days before the time set for his
execution, April II.
Frank is reviewing the new evil
dence secured by his attorneys, and IS
expected to hold a conference with
his lawyers Tuesday that he might
incorporate his own ideas into the
motion for new trial of his case.
Rumofs that the defense has OBJ
tanned a number of new affivadits
were current Tuesday, but Attorneys
Luther Rosser and Reuben Arnold
were communicative.
New Evidence Withheld.
IT is known, however, that the de-
Tense has in its possession consid-
cradle new evidence that has not
been made public, and that the many
conferences between Frank and his
lawyers are for the purpose of ac-
quainting Frank with the develop
ments and securing his aid in the
preparation of the new plea.
One Of the. reports of new evidence
current Tuesday was that the defense
has obtained an affidavit from ne
grom at LAGRANGE, Ed Rose, who is
said to have seen Jim Conley wash
ing blood from his hands on the day
of the tragedy
Solicitor Dorsey is said to be col
ecting evidence to disprove Ross
story, and it is said to have a num-
Der Of letters and affidavits from citi-
zens of LAGRANGE attacking the ne
gros character.
That Solicitor Dorsey is working
hard to combat the new evidence I'M
earthed by the defense is evident
from the numerous conferences that
the Solicitor has had recently with
detectives who worked on the case,
particularly Starnes and Campbell,
who were Instrumental in collecting
the evidence that convicted Frank.
None Of the trio will talk about the
Solicitors attitude toward the new
developments.
Frank Studies Taft Speech.
Frank is expected TO issue another
statement from the Tower soon, based
on the address delivered in Boston by
eX-President William H. Taft last
Friday when he declared that many
innocent men have been convicted by
public camor.>
Mr.. Taft declared that he had had
10 pardon several men because they
had been convicted in this manner,
although they were innocent of crime.
II is understood that in his statement
Frank. will endeavor TO parallel his
own case with those cited by Mr..
Taft.
The return of Detective William j.
Burns to Atlanta during the week is
expected to result in important de-
yelopments in the case. Mr.. Burns
already has conferred with Frank and
secured the condemned mans story,
and it is understood he has a number
Of clews to work on Immediately upon
his return. e.
C. w, Burke, an agent for Luther
Rosser, of Franks counsel. returned
Tuesday from Jacksonville, Fla,
where he has been for several days
On a mission said to, be connected
with the Frank case.

Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.
LONDON, March 10.-Militant suf-
fragettes in their campaign for votes
to day opened a vicious fight against
the art masterpieces of England.
Shortly after the opening of the Ma
tional Gallery to-day a party of young
women entered and began looking at
the collection. They carried cata-
logues and guide books as though
they were tourists. When in front Of
the Venus of Diego Valazquez, a
masterpiece which cost $225,o0O, one
of the women drew Ratchet from her
pocket and began slashing at the glass
which covered the face Of the canvas.
Before guards arrived she had
smashed the glass and badly injured
the picture. She was then arrested.
At the police station the women
was identified as Mary Richardson a
well-known member of the Women's
Social and Political Union. who was
recently charged with arson at Hamp-
ton Court.
Reprisal for Arrest.
The woman was defiant and told the
Scotland Yard officials that she had
been inspired to her act Of vandalism
by the arrest of Mrs. Pankhurst in
Glasgow last night -.
This is a just reprisal, and I,do,not

Immediately after the incident while
experts began an examination to as
certain IL the picture could be re-

of the canvas had been cut entirely
away. The piece cut out contains
that part Of the painting showing the
nude, reclining figure Of Venus gal-
ing into a mirror. Belief was eN-
pressed that the picture could not be
restored to its original form.

Dear Mir Editor:
 Was so busy the first of the week, catching up with an accumu- lation of correspondence only pOssi- ble in this iand of dolce far niente, with it's atmosphere of manana,' that so readily impermeates us pill erims from the land of mist and moistness, that I did not get time to voice an appreciation of last Sundays game. which, while in the first SeS- sions .'eplete with jagged playing that would make a buzz saw seem in comparison as smooth as the lips of a June bride, was in the later stages full of some downright good tase ball, especially two stops on
 second one of which resulted in a lightning out that was worthy of a
 Collins. What I most truly admired
 was the splendid. dogged, heart
 breaking uphill game the boys played when, with 6 scores to the worst. they crawled through and rcsed out in the nerve -Wrackine ninth. Perhaps some did not ap- preciate this at it's full worth. But to me it is the acme of courage this fighting it out to the grim end regardless of handicap; so, as | leave you Monday I'll just say

Especial to The Republican,

Especial to The Republlcan.)
 MESA, June 13-A baseball game between the Mesa Jewels and the Tempe Bears and. a band concert will take place at the local park this after noon. Furthermore. the baseball game will be one of the best seen here this by the Tempe organization made up of eighteen pieces.
 The concert does not include just one selection befOre the game, but a number of selections before. during and after the game. It is to be d gala day and a large crowd of roOters is coming up from Tempe It is to something similar to five or six years ago. when the real ingrained interest oozed from every pore.
 As a matter of fact. Mesa became somewhat chesty following the White SoX game when everything was taken that looked like a ball team. that is until the Jewels made that trip to Miami in the winter time and came back looking worse than Napoleon re- treating lGO1n AIOStOW, dll bl WHICH iS said to be some retreat. At any rate. Tempe, which suffered defeat at the hands of McGowan on one memorable occasion. is not the same Tempe that was defeated once before McGOwan will be in the game today and he is even better than before, but he will also face a stronger team.
 Tempe is not oniy coming with a reinforced team, but with four pitch CTS. Kettle will start it, and it is said that with Mutt as catcher the youthful blacksmith will be permitted to let himself out a few nOtches, a privilege that he has not enjoyed on account of the weakness i1 the catching staff. It addition to Kettle there will be the reliable Oviedo, who will be in shape to work at a moments notice. Two finds are also reported, English. who has recently arrived in Tempe, and Vinsor, left-handed tWirler. The lineup of the teams is as follows

ABOUT THE TUCS0N-S0LON
 GAME AND OTHER THINGS
Southerners Are Coming to Play Some Ball at Grant Park, and That's About All, Except for the Little Sidelights
Bv "SCOOp"

Except for the fact that Tucson IS coming and that there WILL be game at Grant park during this af- ternoon, I know of little news on the local situation This is a terrible condition of affairs, and I must hus- tie up those diligent but unacclima- tized press agents.
 Fred Hudson liz off the Globe Phoenix stage yesterday, and bounced on him in his neat little of flee in the Federal building.
 Do you play first base for Phoe- nix tomorrow 1 required to know.
 They haven't asked me" he re- turned. characteristically. And l know that if they don't ask him. and Go it quick and right, it will never occur to him to don uniform and get in the automobile.
 John Mutt will not play for Phoe- nix. because he will be catching for Tempe at Mesa This is a perfectly good reason.
 Lefty Anderson will Wea' nothing but the latest styles in Palm Beach things, so he cannot play.
 If we keep this up, we will soon onumerate all the people who are NOT going to play and not save room for anything about those who ARE.
 Let's see. There will be Krause and Barrett to pitch and Jenkins to catch. Chief Lewis Pasmado will be available for second base and Ritchie, Cap Barton. Kearns Warren for the short field positions. Kimberley and Sloane are the only ones l can think of for the distant gardens.
 Even the Moose
 Oh. yes. There IS d morsel of news. The Moose will move their lodge meeting an hour ahead so that every member may attend the game after the special initiatOry session is over. Manager Barrett last night said, "All right, and we will have busses at the lodge door to take 'em out to the park"
 There is nothing like grasping your opportunities when they are showed into your eager arms and the said arms are forcibly chased about the once mentioned opportunities
 Is there?
