CASE STILL DISCUSSED
ON STREETS OF CITY
The Frank case still was discussed
on the streets to-day. but the groups
were those ordinarily seen on tho
buster street corners. The calm of to-
day was in striking contrast to the
tension of yesterday, and it apparentlv
was welcomed by the majority of the
residents of the city. The local news
papers give very little space 10 the
case to-day.
SO far rs could be learned, no steps
nave been taken 10 arrange for an
organized protest against the Cover
nor's action. The impromptu mass
meeting at the Capitol yesterday, when
resolutions were passed condcmning
Governor Slaton, seemed to appcase
the wrath of those immediately con-
cerncd. The rush on Governor Slaton's
nome last night followed n series of
street-corncr meetings, and was the
result of an impulsjve suggestion on
the part of one of the street speakers

Slaton. being resident OF Atlanta, has
not occupied the old house, prcferrinC

five miles from the city. This distancs
did not deter the demonstrates last
night, once they had determined 10

At three different points on the
march out Pcachtrcc Street and along
Pcachtree Road, city and county police
made an effort TO halt the procession
Some few scores of the two or moro
thousand who started for the country
home of the Governor were turned back
but the main body reached the estate
shortly before midnight. There they
found additional police of the county
force, khaki-clad, on guard at the Gov
crnor's gates. The size of the crowd
was such. however, as to overawe the
small police detachment, and it was
then that the Governor declared martial
law within zone of one-half mile of
his home, and ordered out several com
pa MICS Of militia. The citizen soldiers
arrived at his home by special trolley
cars and in automobiles. No effort was
made by any one to enter the Cover
