MONTHS IN PRISON
''HAPP|EST OF LIFE"
Also Most Useful, Says Ex-Con-
Wet, a California Millionaire.

Atlanta, Ga. When Frederick A..
Hyde, sixty-seven years old, million
aire land dealer and former president
of the board of education of San Fran
cisco, left the federal penitentiary
here, after serving sixteen months, his
first statement was that those months
had been the most useful of his whole
life. He added that he would return
to his home in California, where his
wife, daughter and three sons are wait
ing for him, not afraid to look any man
in the face.
"Not only have these sixteen months
been the most useful in my career"
said Hyde when interviewed in his
apartments at the Piedmont hotel, "but
this period has been the happiest of
my life, and l have derived more good
from my work at the prison than at
any other time"
Hyde was imprisoned in December.
1913, after one of the most sensational
try. He was sentenced to serve two
years for alleged conspiracy in land
frauds, but the sentence was commu-
ted by President Wilson.
At the penitentiary Hyde was known
among his fellow prisoners as the ian
gel convict" because of his work to
better the conditions of the other pris-
Oners, especially those who were poor.
He was assigned to the prison news
paper, Good Works, and in the per-
Torrance of his duties was allowed to
go to all parts Of the prison and min
gle with all the convicts.
From the first he took an interest in
their welfare. He found that baseball
and a few wornout movie films were
the only amuSementS in the prison.
He laid out plans for complete ath-
letic field which, with money furnish
ed by himself, was constructed by
Hyde and his fellow prisoners
Hyde's greatest work in the prison
was with the unfortunate men who
finished their terms but looked upon
freedom with no pleasure because they
were without friends or money TO
make new start in life. To hun
dreds Of these Hyde gave encourage
ment and money, in many cases fur
nished them with sufficient funds to
re-establish themselves in business.
One Of Hyde's philanthropies in the
prison was the establishment of Ii
brary. He bought hundreds of valua-
BILE books with his own money and do
mated them to the prison.

Easter Monday at the White House.

Easter Monday at the White House.
Edward L. Luckow in Baraboo
Democrat: It is estimated that ten
thousand people passed into the White
House grounds on Easter Monday
Nearly all of these were children, who
went with their baskets and lunches
and with full supplies of Easter eggs.
The pretty custom of rolling eggs and
playing special games has come down
from early days of the republic. 1t is
the one day in the year when the chill
dren take charge of the White House
grounds. and from the happiness they
display one might be tempted to believe
that On this particular day the country
is in their keeping.

Mary Phagan, fourteen years of age,
| was employed in the factory. She call.
ed on a holiday to collect her wages
and failing to reappear at her home,
search was instituted and at 3 o'clock
the following morning her body was
found in a remote part Of the plant,
showing evidence of murder and as
sault
Suspects were taken in by the police,
and then suspicion attached to Frank
He was convicted mainly on the testi-
mony Of Jim Conley, negro, who said
he had helped Frank to dispose Of the
body after the murder. Local senti-
ment was against the prisoner almost
from the start. Remarkable stories Of
his alleged immortality were told.
The defense tried to fasten the crime
on Conley, the negro, who was an en-
ployee Of the factory. A note which
purported to have been written by the
murdered girl just before her death
was link in the testimony. It was
found torn in scraps near her body and
purpOrted to be addressed to her moth
er, in which she charged the crime on
a negro without naming him.
The handwriting bore slight resem-
blance to Franks writing, but Conley
after first denying that he wrote the
note or that he was in the factory on
the day of the murder, finally con-
fessed that he wrote the note, but at
the direction Of Frank.
Leo M. Frank is native of Brook
Ign, a graduate of the Brooklyn high
school, who won a scholarship in Cor
nell university and is also well edu-
Gated along technical lines. He has
family in Atlanta and up to the time
Of the murder had reputation general
~ in the community Of being success
full business man Of good moral reputa-
ton.
The courtroom was crowded in antici-
patton Of a decision in the Frank case
and many people stood in line outside
unable to gain admission. Since the
case has been before the supreme court
nation wide agitation has been carried
on in favor Of the prisoner, and it was
evident that his friends were many and
Influential and that money was not be-
ing spared in an effort to influence pub
lie sentiment in favor Of the prisoner.

more than a third longer than that Of
any present submarine, and will elimi-
nate the dangers to the crew of chic
rine and sulphuric acid gas poisoning.
Mr.. Edison and his staff are now
working on the batteries for the new
submarine, the LIS, and it was an
nounced that Mrs. John Eyre Sloane.
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edison. had
accepted the invitation of Secretary of
the Navy Daniels to name the vessel.
This is the only submarine which the
government has attempted to build in
one Of it's own yards.
An agent of one Of the powers at war
had visited the Edison laboratories to
negotiate for the purchase of a supply
of the new batteries. Since the war
began practically all of the belligerents
have sought to equip submarines with
Edison batteries. but the inventor has
refused to deliver any until they should
have proved that they could stand all
Of the most severe tests to which they
could be subjected
on submarine batteries since 1910. One
of the European powers now at war
began three years ago to attempt to
obtain batteries for its submarines
from him. Mr.. Hutchinson said that the
inventor had begun work on the sub
marine batteries for humanitarian rea-
sons, hoping to protect crews from the
risk Of being killed by poisonous gases.
He added that all navieS would be al
lowed to use the batteries for their SUBJ
marines.
Before the LIS is launched at Ports
mouth another United States subma-
rine will be equipped with the Edison
batteries. This is the Ed. whose crew
suffered severely from poisoning by
chlorine gas when their craft was sub
merged near Newport last summer
When the Ed was laid up after that
accident it was decided to install the
Edison batteries, and the Ed probably
will return to the water equipped with
them in a few weeks.
''One Of the greatest difficulties with
submarines has been the danger from
chlorine poisoning" Mr.. Hutchinson
said. 1.-THE batteries at present contain
Sulphuric acid. If it is able to escape
through the lead lining and the hard
rubber jars, as frequently occurs at
present, it eats it's way into the inner
steel skin of the submarine.
1.-The new Edison battery contains a
potash solution and the only metal in
it is steel and nickel. The submarine
is Of steel and it floats in an alkaline
solution Of salt water. Our new bat
teries are Of steel and contain an aka
line solution-so the principle is steel
within steel and alkali within alkali.
The cause Of the generation of poison
Gus gases does not exist.
1.-THE Edison submarine batteries will.
furnish power on which the submarine
can cruise under water at the rate OF
between four and five knots for 150
miles.
"The LIS will have a cruising range
on its surface engines Of $500 miles
and a total range of 1880 1t will
carry six torpedoes. making thirty
two knot speed. with a range Of be-
tween $500 and 5000 yards

There was one ray Of light, however.
He could appeal to the governor Of

no further legal action apparent.
