FIRST BALE READY TO GIN.

The first bale OF cotton Of the 1914
crop for Brazos County was brought in
yesterday by Frank Eznera, Sr., from
his farm on the little Brazos near
Fountain Switch. The cotton was
taken to every gin in town today
in an effort to get It ginned, but as
none Of the gins have been oyerhauled
since last season, they were unable to
gin the cotton. Mr. .Eznera left this
morning with the cotton for Kosarek's
gin at Riverside, where he thought 1t
would be ginned, but he had not re-
turned to town with 1t when the Eagle
went to press.

BURNS DECLARES He HAS
FOUND No EVIDENCE Of
FRAME-UP AGAINST FRANK

have never before come in contact
with so foul a crime. And now | see
my way clear to point my finger at
the guilty man" :
AS to when this would be done,
however, Mr.. Burns declined TO y he
specific.
Will Give Data to Dorsey.
1T may be in a few days; it may
be a couple OF weeks: it may be
more" he said entgmatically.- Il will
have all the facts in hand, and a con-
vincing statement to make when
make it. When / am near the end l
shall hand over my data to the Solicit
tor General, and he of course, Will
act as he sees fit
1t was while talking of Mr., Dorsey's
work in the prosecution that Mr.
Burns intimated that the trail he was
following was leading away from Leo
Frank, as he has plainly done several
times, although expressing no opinion
as to his guilt or innocence.
1T is quite possible" he said. that
the Solicitor has been misled in some
particulars. But if. he was. it was by
private detectives-oiie of the most
dangerous institutions with which we
have to contend. The Solicitor was
Jealous in the prosecution, / under
stand. But that is proper. He be-
lieved he was right. and his belief
was founded on substance supplied TO
him by investigators. That substance
was enough to warrant him in his po-
sition. AS to Mr.. Dorseys zeal,
would merely state that this country
would be in very lad way if it did
not have public prosecutors who car
ried on their work with zeal and de-
n finn n1ljtn M
Dorsey was not prejudiced in this
case"
Thursday night Mr. Burns spent
more than two hours locked with his
assistants in the National Pencil fac
tory building on Forsyth street. 1t is
understood that he went carefully
over the scene of operations outlined
by Conley and established in the trial
as the theory Of the State. He eX-
poets. he says, to make other visitsTo
the factory.

Becker Defends
Frank as Upright.

IRVINGTON. n. j., March POI
am absolutely certain that young
Frank is innocent of the killing of
Mary Phagan-in fact, l would be
willing to stake my life on my belief.
| have known Frank for four years
possibly little longer-and in all that
time | have found him to be nothing
but a sober, Industrious and highly
esteemed young fellow, a willing
worker and certainly an honest citi
zen.
"As for Jim Conley, I always knew
him as a no-account negro, whose
every statement was we'll worth in
vestigating before accepting. He had
a mighty bad. a very bad, name
around the factory Of the National
Ptncil Company in Atlanta, and there
wasn't a person in the place, male or
female who had any use for him. In
fact, they all avoided him as much as
possible.
Though, of course, ] have no az
tual proof-nothing but my own be-
liefs obtained from fellow employees
and my own personal observations of
the man-from my knowledge of the
mans character l feel sure that he
and no one else. killed the girl.
Waiting Call to Testify.
THE whole case appears to me as
if an attempt-ano mighty con-
temptibe one-is being made in GER
tain quarters to send a man, and a
decent young fellow at that, to the
gallows for some crime he did not
commit.
Il am waiting for call to Atlanta
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-03-20

to testify. ana / want to say that
when the call comes / will lose no
time getting there. Frank knows
nothing more concerning the Killing
of Mary than | do, and / see nothing
but acquittal for him If he ever Is
granted another trial
Georgia will sanction a terrible
crime if she permits this innocent
young fellow to go to the scaffold'
for truth will surely prevail in the
end, and Frank will be absolved. IL
would be better to sift the matter
right through to a finish at TINS time
and save the official name of Georgia
from an everlasting stigma.
81 would like to say a great deal
more now, but l have already told
you that | am expecting to be called
as witness and do not think 1t would
be justifiable of me to say any more
at this time"
This was the statement made to-
day by Henry Frederick Becker, OF
No. Al Mapleton avenue, lrvlngton,
former superintendent of the Ma
tional Pencil Company of Atlanta and
at present mechanical superintendent
of the Best Pencil Company of lrV-
ington.
Says He Has New Testimony.
Becker, at first, was loath to dis
cuss the Frank case, under the belief
that he might say something that
lawyers for Frank might not wish
made public at this time. He admit
ted that he had much testimony OF
an important nature that would be of
material help to Frank if placed on
trial again, and intimated that none
of It had come ont at the previous
trial.
Mrs. Becker, his wife, spoke highly
of young Frank, saying that while
her husband was in charge of the
pencil factory that she had met Frank
many times and that he appeared to
be honest, sober and not of the de-
generate type of youth pictured at his
trial
HE could never have committed
this atrocious murder" said Mrs.
Becker, for the simple reason that |
do not believe him to be of that type
of man. If given a new trial / am
as confident as my husband that he
will be vindicated."

CONSTIPATION
POISONS SYSTEM

All food eaten has some waste, unused
particles left in the stomach undigested
From this waste uric acid generates,
and when uric acid gets in the blood
stream it poisons the system. This is
termed Autotoxemia. Indigestion, bill
iousness, dyspepsia, sick headache, Ian
guidness, loss Of energy and a weakened
physical condition result and make the
system vulnerable TO disease. Elim-
nate autotoxemia and we could live to
be hundreds of years old.

THE ISSUE MUST BE FACED.

The issue of efficiency in municipal Office
arises at the outset of the new administration
Even before the mayor-elect and the super
yisors-elect take office they must face this
issue. 1t is an issue of the caucus as well as of
the open board session.
The office-seekers, the job hunters the feed
trough crowd, are already gathering in antci
patton of feast. They demand a share Of tho
spols because they "voted the Republican
ticket straight They are pressing Mayor
elect Lane and all of the new supervisors; they
are pulling wires and hauling strings and pass
ing political salve-and if they have their way
they will wreck the new administration.
It is up to Mr.. Lane and those who were
elected with him last month on a platform of
efficiency to determine now which element
they will line up with--whether it is to be the
utterly selfish blindly self seeking, jobchasing
crowd, or the element that expects decent gov
ernment, that expects dollars worth of work
for dollar worth of taxes The first bunch
will ruin any efforts for good administration,
and cooperate with the new officials
There are signs that there will be a split on
the board of supervisors over this plain issue
If there is such split, Mr.. Supervisor, which
side are you going to line up with--the side
that plays partisan politics or the side that
plays good government politics-the side that
violates platform pledges, or the side that lives
up to those pledgesi .Z a.|
The ar-Bulletin will deeply regret split
on the new board. There is no good reason
for 1t if every member does his duty. 1t is es-
sentially sspoor politics - We hope that dur
ing the next three days the Republicans elected
last month elected by an independent vote
will get together for the sake Of decent gov
eminent and for the sake of the Republican,
