Teams Tie In Result-Mrs.
Anderson Reviews Work
of the Last Legislature On
Temperance.

Seventy new members, each wear
ing the white ribbon badge, represent
the result of the w. C. T. U. member
shin contest which eliminated in an
enthusiastic meeting in the M. Il.
church Friday evening. At recent
meeting of the local branch OF this
great organization, it was decided to
secure as many new members as pos
sible, and the work was assigned to
two teams, Mrs. F. w. Heidel and
Mrs. Henry E. Nelson serving as cap
tains, and it being agreed that at an
early date after the close of the con-
test the losing team should furnish a
banquet and the winners a program
for the entire society.
Much enthusiasm and considerable
excitment prevailed at the meeting
Friday evening when the respective
captains marshalled their forces on
opposite sides of the church parlor and
a two-minute recess was granted by
the president, Mrs. S. H. Cook, in
which the canvass for members might
be continued. The score on both
sides ran up quickly, the balance
swinging first in favor of one side and
then the other, finally resulting in a
tie as each captain claimed IS new
members.
The cordial community spirit and
civic interest created by this friendly
contest will no doubt do much to
strengthen the temperance forces of
the city, and the increased member
ship, which is considerably more than
100 per cent gain, entities the local
society to blue ribbon of honor
among the state branches.
Following the contest a delightful
program was rendered, the guest of
honor being Mrs. Elizabeth Preston
Anderson, state president of the W.
C. T. u, who gave an exceedingly in
teresting review of the work of the
legislature during the session just
closed. Long experience in legisla'
tive matters and a broad knowledge
of what was needed, what was done,
combine to give Mrs. Anderson a per-
spective which few could bring to bear
upon such matters, and her address
was followed by many eager questions,
which still further increased the inter
est of the occasion.
Following this social hour was
spent, refreshments were served, and
many took advantage of the oppor-
tunity to personally greet Mrs. An
derson, who had formerly spent so
many active years here.
The winning of the contest still re-
mains mooted question and latter
election" returns may possibly show
a slight advance one way or theother

note concerning the Arabic:
; "on its face, it appears to be most
gratifying and If the acts of the Ger

amends are made for the lives lost
on the Lusitania and Arabic and for
the Gulfiight and Falaba and similar
cases. and if there is no provision ex-
pressed or implied as to action on
our part, such as was requested by
Germany before as regards England
and France, the results will in every
way be satisfactory
Il wish to call attention however, to
one thing This is in no sense a con-
cession from Germany, as il has been
styled In some papers. II Is an an
nouncement that she intends TO stop
the policy of assassination. To stop
the policy establishes no claim for
gratitude. and take It for granted, OF
course there viii be the most ample
amends so far as such amends are

LEO FRANK LYNCR|NC
PROBE UNDER WAY
Judge Patterson in Charge
Says the Jurors Are Not
Expected to Be Detectives
NEWSPAPERS OF
COUNTRY DENOUNCED

MARIETTA. Ca, Sept. 2.-The Cobb
county grand jury, drawn for the July
term of court, was charged yesterday
by JudgeAH. J. Patterson to investi-
gate the recent lynching IN this
county," and before the day was end
ed had examined several witnesses
for information they might have on
the hanging of Leo NJ. Frank. At
the rate the witnesses were handled
it would seem that the jurors could
finish with the 35 or more called in
time to report today.
Judge Patterson was emphatic on
three points in his brief and eXtempo-
raneous charge. That the crime
should be thoroughly investigated;
that this was not a special grand jury,
as had been reported, and that the
jurors were not secret service men
which made il necessary for them
ito do detective work to perform their
duties"
He said Cobb county never had
needed a special grand jury, and in
ferred that the Frank lynching was
not the sole cause of reconvening the
jury that served during the July term
of court The killing of a colored
man soon after the July term was
adjourned was mentioned.
In this connection the judge said:
81 want TO say at this point that you
are not a special grand jury drawn by
the Judge of the Blue Ridge circuit,
as has been stated. but you are the
regularly organized grand jury OF
Cobb county.
Not only in this. but in a great
I deal that has been said recently in
the press. the facts have been deviat-
ed from and / want to strongly as
isert that the press generally has done
Cobb county q great injustice,
ct appears that in a great deal OF
the matter that has been published
some newspaper espOndents have
! seemingly gotten Just as far away
from the truth as they could, and the
result has been that Cobb county has
been made 10 suffer for IT,
Within a short time after the jury
retired witnesses called IN the Frank
case went before the jurors, but the
majority of them remained only few
minutes. Tomorrow. it is expected
members Of the Georgia prison com
mission will be quizzed.
Among the witnesses summoned for
the grand jury are o. 3 Keeler. re
