LEO FRANKS APPEAL
 DENIED BY J. s. COURT
Habeas Corpus Writ Sought on Ground of Violated Constitutional Right
ASSOCIATED PRESS p,sPArcH1

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 1S.-Attorneys for Leo M Frank, under death sent ence for the alleged murder of Mary Phagan, made a second attempt tc bring his conviction before the United States supreme court today. Federal Judge w. T. Newman denied the pe- tition for Franks release on a habeas corpus writ and a petition for an ap- peal was immediately presented It will be passed on Monday.
 There was some confusion regard ing the appeal. It was first reported granted. The. judge said later that his announcement was he was in- clined to grant the appeal" Under the federal statue d judge granting the appeal in heabeas corpus pro- ceedings must issue certificate stating there was probably cause for the appeal"
 The habeas corpus writ was sought on the ground that Franks consti- tutional rights have been violated. in that he was ''involuntarily ab- sent from the court room when the verdict was announced. The prison CTS attorneys argued that the Geor- gia state courts had lost jurisdiction in the case when he was denied the right to face the jury at the culmi- nation of the trial They declared. therefore, that Frank had been de- prived of his liberty without due process of lawA
 A writ for supreme court review of the case recently denied by both state and federal courts in the pro- ceeding is based on practically the same contentious, but not involving the habeas corpus petition

Barn Burned.

On Tuesday evening of this week be-
tween five and six o clock, the small barn
on the property of Mr.. Charles Wastler
situated about one mile north of Thur
mont and near the Western Maryland
Railroad, was destroyed by fire.
Mr.. Washers sons were at the barn
doing the evenings work and were using
lantern. The nail, or whatever the
lantern was hanging on, broke, and the
lantern dropped to the ground and ex-
ploded. The boys tried hard to extin-
guish the bla re but finding they would
be unable to do so, turned their attention
to the live stock and succeeded in getting
all from the burning building.
By hard work those who gathered at
the Wastler home saved the house from
being burned
Mr.. Washers home is situated on the
mountain side directly west of Mrs. E.
X. Rouz er's property, and the blaze could
be seen over wide territory.

Raise Fare On Trolley Line
No Round Trip Tickets After
January 1st.


The Hagerstown and Frederick Rail-
way Company have published and filed
with the various commissions, tariffs
which eliminates all round trip fares from
all points on its system. This means that
the so cent round trip ticket fare from
Thurmont will be discontinued on Janu-
airy LIST.
In place of the round trip tickets the
Company will use the "a coupons for .o
which are sold in book form and will be
on sale on the whole system. This book
of tickets will make the round trip be-
tween Thurmont and Frederick frac-
ton over So cents for the round trip.
The rate as pr posed is but little
more than u cent per mile, or slightly
more than one nalf what the steam roads
charge per mile and great deal less
than the charges made usually by inter-
urban railroads.
This community should be very thank
full that we have this up-to' date trolley,
with it's frequent service of to 10 trains
each way daily. and no one at Thurmont
should complain of these rates of fare,
even if they are slightly advance d.
Everyone knows that the advent of the
w. F. & G. (now the H. & F. to Thur
mont that it cuts the rate from Thur
mont to Frederick more than 50 per cent,
for it used to take whole day to make
the trip to Frederick via Keymar at
cost of 81. As for the round trip, while the
trolley cash fare for the round trip was
but 70 cents, at which it remains today.
While every one appreciated the SO
cent round trip ticket, the small increase
will not mean much to any one person
and will still afford the railroad little
needed revenue. The commuter rates
have also been slightly advanced.
