BODY HANGING FROM TREE
Body to Be Taken to Homo of Parents
in Brooklyn.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 17.-Leo NJ.
Franks body was brought to Atlanta
this afternoon and secreted in a barn
until a crowd searching for it threat
ened serious trouble. It then was
taken from the barn to an undertak-
ing establishment, where tonight a
steady stream OF persons passed to
view it The temper of the people
seemed not so much to wreak ven
geance upon the lifeless form, but per-
sonally to assure themselves that it
really was the body of Frank.
Forty policemen were OIL guard at
the undertaker's establishment and a
crowd that blocked traffic stood for
hours in front of the place The body
was shown just as it had been cut
this morning.
Because of the insistence of the
people to see the body it had not been
definitely determined tonight whether
funeral plans first arranged could be
carried out. A member of the under
taking firm stated positively late to-
day that the body had been secretly
placed in a private home
He said he had been charged by
friends of the family here to take the
body from its first resting PLACE 20 the
former home of the Franks here at
leave here at midnight tonight for the
home of Franks parents IN Brooklyn,
according to Herbert ]. Haas, who was
one of Franks attorneys. 1t will lie
accompanied by Mrs Frank, Mrs.
Franks brother, A. E. Marcus. David
l. Marx, H. a. Alexander and Mr..
Haas.
Shortly after o'clock tonight the
undertaking establishment was closed
and Gordon of police permitted no
one to approach. When the doors
were closed a crowd was awaiting a
chance to enter. The police immedi-
ately dispersed the throng and soon
| only a few scattered gatherings re-
mained. Many. however, walked past
the establishment but were not al
lowed to halt
Men and boys did a thriving business
selling photographs of Franks body as
it swung from a tree near Marietta.
Mr.. Haas stated tonight that Mrs.
Frank is not in a serious condition.

SPLIT IN COMMISSION
ON INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
Gaiority Decline to Sign Report Sub
mitted by Director Manley.

New York, Aug. 17-Harris wein-
stock. a member of the United States
commission OF industrial relations. ar
rived here today and declared the ma
jority of the commission had de-
clined to sign the report submitted by
Bash NJ. Manley, director because they
felt 1t was only a partial report of
the findings and unfair"
We had hoped to sign and sub
nit one report to congress-" said Mr..
Weinstock. But when we read the
Manley report, which was signed by
Chairman Walsh and the three labor
members Of the commission, we found
another report was necessary. This
was signed by five of the nine mem
bers. In addition to the majority re-
port the three employers on the COM
mission drew up addenda and attached
1t to the general report.
In this addenda It is made clear
that the hearings of the commission
showed that neither capital nor labor
ran come into court with clean hands;
that both are guilty of sins of COM
mission and omission and that each
Is responsible for a full share of the
existing industrial strife and unrest"
Mr.. Weinstock said that while all
Of the commissioners were agreed that
there should be permanent commission
on indutrial relations, the majority
and minority members differed widely
rs to the organization and admins
tration of the proposed commission.
The present commission will go out
of existence on August %.
"The majority held that the perman-
ent commission should be a tri-party
body" said Mr.. Weinstock. 'tMr.
Walsh held it should be under the
direction Of the department of labor.

Col. Glenn Says Million Men Could
Be Landed in Case of War.

Plattsburgh, N. Y, Aug. 17.-An
army Of a European nation at war
with the United States could land a
million men on the Atlantic seaboard,
north of Virginia, capture New York,
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland and New England and hold
those states for years against any
army this country could raise, Colonel
Edwin F. Glenn, chief of staff of the
department of the east, tonight told
the amateur soldiers attending the
military camp Of instruction here.
Colonel Glenn was talking of the
unpreparedness of the United States
for war and pointed out that an enemy
after capturing the eastern states could
entrench themselves along a 300 mile
front extending from Erie. Pa, to the
Chesapeake Bay. In this territory,
he said, they would have the majority
Of the wealth and factories of the
country.
If it became necessary, Colonel
Glenn said, for the United States to
defend itself, the country's only hope
was in a trained and well. organized

order of the foreign exchange mar
kets today plans began to assume

in New York to check the downward
trend of rates and protect the money
of Great Britain and her allies against

A group of Wall Street bankers.

the matter over late today. When the

was said, was still indefinite and plans
in embryo. It was reported, toward
the end of the business day, that a
syndicate Of bankers might be formed
to finance +the<loan and that the issue
might consist Of one, five and ten
year bonds.

GALE MOVING INLAND
At Galveston Boats Are Taking Peo-
pie from Buildings on the Main
Street to the U. s. Transport Bu-
ford-Transport MccIsIIand Ashore.

Dallas. Texas. Aug. 1e.-wireless
dispatches from Galveston tonight
gave the only direct news from that
storm-stricken city. No definite news
the desperate situation in which the
citizens of Galveston found themselves
was Indicated vaguely by the state
ment in a late afternoon radiogram
that boats were taking people from
buildings on the main streets TO the
United States transport Buford
Buildings Unroofed.
The tropical hurricane which swept
down upon the island city yesterday
extended its devastation irland today
and tonight wire communication was
impossible beyond Waco. the town be-
ing absolutely cut off from. the coast
country. Beaumont. Houston, Taylor,
Temple and other cities of southeast
Texas were thought to have been hard
those places telling OF unroofed build
ings, uprooted trees and other damage.
Because of the lack of wires railroad
traffic was all at a stanGstill to the
storm-swept district
Subsiding at Galveston.
Although latest reports indicated
that the storm was subsid;ng in CAL
weston and that the water had started
to drain slowly from the streets, there
was no prospect that wire communi-
cation might be restored for several
days Hundreds of miles of wires are
broken and thousands of poles blown
down
Transport High and Dry.
The wireless equipment on board
the army transport Buford was the
sole means of communication between
Galveston and the outside world to-
night The Mcclellan. companion ship
to the Buford, was reported high and
dry, half a mile inland
Giant Waves Damaged Shipping.
The greatest damage in Galveston
is believed to have occurred in dis
tricts fronting the sea All buildings
on the waterfront were ruined This
circumstance being almost repetition
of the city;s experience in previous
storms Vessels caught in the harbor
also suffered heavily The giant waves
thrown up by the storm carried large
and small craft alike far beyond the
usual beach boundaries and the ma
rine salvage work probably will be
complicated by the necessity of get
ting many boats back to their own
element.
Farms Severely Damaged.
It will be weeks, probably, before
the full extent of the property dam
age can be given accurately. Farms
on the coastal plains undoubtedly sUf-
fered severe damage and many viii
lagos in the path of the storm have
not been heard from since carly yes
terday.
No Abatement in Gale at Waco.
At Waco, 200 miles northwest of
Galveston, the barometer was falling
early tonight and a gale was blowinS
with unabating force. This indicated,
according to the weather bureau, that
the storm center was approaching that
part of the state and the experience
of Taylor and Temple bore out tina t
conjecture. At both these towns build-
ings were unroofed and wire commu-
nication hampered. Temple and Tay-
Ior are in the path of the storm from
Galveston to Waco.
