Hanged to Tree.

Marietta, Ga. Aug. 1.-THE body of
Leo NJ Frank was found at O'Clock
this morning, dangling from a tree
while a throng from the surrounding
countryside gathered. By a vote of
the crowd the badly was cut down
without mutilation and taken by auto
mobile to Atlanta, where another
throng congregated to view it,
Officials of Cobb county, in which
the lynching occurred, Immediately
started an investigation. Coroner
Booth impaneled a jury and announc-
ed that the county commissioners had
empowered him to employ additional
counsel. Two witnesses appeared be-
fore the jury. which adjourned its
sessions for a week while officials
collect evidence.
While the identity of no member of
the band was known to officials, ii
was suggested that the fact that Frank
was taken nearly 100 miles in au au-
tomobile from the state prison almost
to the outskirts of Marietta indicated
that most of the lynchers came from
this city.
The body, hanging from an oak tree
was found clothed only in the silk
shirt which Frank wore when he was
torn from a bed in the prison dormi
tory A white handkerchief covered
his face, his feet and legs were firmly
bound and under his right jaw was the
knot of the hangman's moose expertly
tied to effect speedy death.
News of the discovery of the body
spread quickly and a great crowd had
gathered before the arrival of Coroner
Booth. The latter's announcement that
it would be cut down Immediately
arounsed some objection. There were
cries of Don't move the Jews body
an appeal by former Superior Judge
n. A. Morris of Cobb county quieted
the crowd.
Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 17.-Leo M
Franks body was brought to Atlanta
this afternoon and secreted in barn
until a crowd gathered for it threat
ened serious trouble. IL then was taken
from the barn to an undertaking es
tablishment, where tonight a steady
stream of persons passed to view it,
The body, under a heavy police
guard, was placed aboard a Southern
railway train which departed at IL: OF
o'clock. The funeral party, including
Mrs. Frank and several tAlanta
friends of the family, who will &C
company the body to Brooklyn, was
guarded carefully by the police until
the train left the terminal station.

IA ounces. and bakers can comply with
the standards without changes or extra
expense in the process Of manufacture.
II was suggested that the present re-
quirement Of labelling the lOsves with
the weight be dropped and that the
loaves be stamped or labelled with the
name of the manufacturer. The ordi-
nance will provide that scales be placed
on the counters, where the bread can
be weighed at the request Of customers.
The Bureau of Weights and Measures
has met with great difficulty in tying
to enforce the state law Brooks law
requiring bread TO be labelled with it's
net weight. because of the uncertain
Interpretation Of the law by the courts.
Other good reasons were found. how
ever. for doing away with the net
weight label system. Investigation
shows that about seven-eighths Of the
people in buying bread do not lock at
the label, but merely ask for q 5 or 10
cent loaf. Again. large percentage Of
the foreign population, which includes
the great mass Of poor people. do not
understand the marking on the labels.
The new ordinance is shaped pri-
marily TO protect the public. but is ex-
pected TO have a secondary value in
protecting the honest baker from dis
honest competition by bakers who
practise short weight methods.

Four cheap silver cups stand on the
sidebOsrd in the apartment ct 1856 west

whom Frederick Timer shot IN the
lSlst Street subway station on Wcdnes-

on the upper West Side.
II was at one Of these dance halls
that Timer met the girl ? year ago.
Two weeks later he gave up mis- studies
st the Bellevue Medical College 70 &C

the twenty-year-old youth became in
fatuated with the eighteen year-old
girl. Then she told him that she did
not care for him.
At the Washington Heights Hospital

chance TO recover. The bullet fired by
Timer penetrated the back OF Miss
Odell's brain, the roof Of her mouth
eng dropped into her throat. Timer
was shot through I'll. liver and mites

Mrs. Melchior Timer, mother OF the

married several weeks ago.
Not long ago She said, they both

saying that both Mcconnell and Jane:
