WIFE PLEADED FOR LEO FRANK
Condemned Man Did Not Co Before
Georgia Prison Commission to
Ask for Mercy.

Atlanta, Ga, June 1.-The hearing
of Leo NJ. Franks application for com.
mutation of sentence from death to
| life Imprisonment. which began before
the state prison commission here this
morning, was completed late today. 1t
is expected the commissions recon.
mendation will be transmitted within
ten days to the governor, who then
will take final action in the case. No
one appeared to argue in opposition
to Franks application.
The principal features of today's
proceedings were a letter written a
few months before his death by Judge
L. S. Roam, who presided at Franks
trial, in which he sought clemency for
the prisoner, and statement by Mrs.
Frank describing her husbands &C.
tons on the night following Mary Pha.
CANS murder and denying rumors OF
an estrangement between herself and
Frank.
Judge Roam in his letter stated that
at the proper time he would ask the
governor to commute Franks SEN
tence to life Imprisonment; that after
many months of deliberation he still
was uncertain of the prisoners guilt,
and that 1T is possible I showed un.
due Difference to the opinion of the
Sury when I allowed their verdict to

Frank did not attend, but his wife

NAMES ON WORKS OF ART
Men OF Genius Have Not Always
Signed Productions That viii
Live Forever.

1t appears that many OF the works
of the old masters are not signed.
Experts rarely rely on signatures
alone in determining the authenticity
OF an old work, but trust rather to
their knowledge of the painters
technic. says the Philadelphia Rec.
ord.
False signatures can be easily de-
tected. Spirits Of wine or turpentine
will usually remove name Of later
date than the painting. In the course
of time signatures often become very
diticult to find. Painted originally in
shade slightly lighter than the
ground. perhaps. they sink in. dark
en-. and merge into the ground color
or they are almost rubbed away by
successive cleanings. Recognizable
one day In q specially favorable light,
they may not be visible again for
weeks.
Experts speak Of "will-o.the-wisp"
signatures, and many collectors have
encountered accidental strokes and
cracks that tantalisintly suggest 4
signature, though It can never be
made definite. On the other hand.
there have been remarkable cases Of
such marks. aftsr careful study, re-
solving themselves into Q famous
name
Sometimes the painters name H.

Where is there a homeIier cuss?
Miss Fonda is one of those chosen
as the most beautiful in each state by
the Universal Film Co. of California
for a trip to the San Francisco expo
sition. She was selected by COM
mittee of competent judges.
Being the most beautiful girl in
Washington has its advantages. Here
are some of them:
Miss Fonda has been congratulated
by everybody.
She was sought by Mayor Gill as
his partner in leading the grand
march at the Movie Operators ball
here.
She has received a beautiful set of
toilet requisites from cosmetic COM
pany. ...-.-
Magazines and books have been
sent her by nearly every publisher in
America.
She has been made a handsome
travelling suit for her trip from Sc
attic to Chicago, and thence to San
Francisco and University City, Cal,
by an Eastern tailor.
And on the trip East she was the
special guest of the Milwaukee road.
It's garlanded auto took her from her
loorstep to her special compartment
II the crack train, "O1ympian."
In the observation car she was the

On the way from that city to Cali

LONDON. February 6. 2:45 pm.-For
the first time in 200 years the British

This is virtually the effect of the new

army estimates without details and
without the aggregates of the expendi-

the nominal sum of 81 1000 sterling
under each of the fifteen groups of ex-

Foreign Office Statement.
The following statement was issued by
the foreign Office last night:
The use of a neutral flag is, within
certain limitations, well established in
practice as a ruse de guerre. The only
effect in the case of a merchantmen of
wearing a flag other than her national
flag is to compel the enemy to follow
the ordinary obligations of naval war
fare, and satisfy himself as to the nation
ality of the vessel and the character Of
her cargo by examination before captur-
ing her and taking her into a prize court
for adjudication.
"The British government has always
considered the use of the British colors
by foreign vessels legitimate for the pur-
pose of escaping capture. Such practice
not only involves no breach of inter-
national law, but is specifically recognized
by the law Of this country in the mer-
chant shipping act of 1894.
