FORM LEAGUE TO
PROMOTE PEACE,
TAFT HEADS /

Philadelphia, June 17.-Within the
historic independence Hall there was
formed an organization whose object
it will be to promote the creation Of a
league of nations with view of pre-
venting wars, or at Ieast to lessen
the possibilities of armed conflicts.
The name adopted was League to
Enforce Peace, American Branch"
Taft, who presided over the confer
ence a portion of the time, was elect
ed permanent president, in addition
to long list of representative Ameri-
cans were named permanent vice
presidents.
The permanent executive commit
tee was selected with instructions to
take all measures necessary to pro
mote the objects of the league. In
moving the adoption of the report OF
the committee on resolutions, Taft
expressed the hope that out CT this
historic building, may come the mes
sage that shall again help the world.
"The conference was no an assem-
blage of pure peace men, but gath
ering of those who, for the most part.
believed in trying to bring about
peace though they had to use force
to do it.

FACTS IN THE CASE

w. j. Burns, the great detective,
yesterday told the bankers thatlhe is
convinced of Leo Franks innocence
of the crime charged against. him.
Mr.. Burns said:
There is today in Atlanta, Georgia,
in the penitentiary, Leo NJ. Frank.
He is as innocent as any man here.

forced into it, and to those who
sought me out and asked me to make
the investigation said this: I
know nothing about the case, but
want to be perfectly frank with you.
It was a most atrocious murder and
whoever was responsible for it ought
to pay the very highest penalty, and
if l find that Frank is guilty | will
withdraw from the case at once
They said to me: Go ahead. That is
all we ask. We want your opinion
of it, And when ! got into it, my
friends. took it up from its incep-

way. and ] found that there was not

On which to predicate the arrest of
Leo NJ. Frank. And when people ask
this question: why did they select
Or pick on Frank?' let me tell you a
few preliminary features that will
have tendency to make the case
absolutely plain. We are watching
every day now to see hat the gov
ernor is going to do. and we hope
that God will guide him in proper
direction in this matter, because if
that man is hung his blood will be on
the hands of those responsible for it,
because he is an innocent man.
