NO DECISION IN
THE FRANK CASE
PRISON COMMISSION WILL DE-
eide QUESTION TODAY OR
WEDNESDAY,.

ATLANTA, June lit was stated
at the office of the state prison COM
mission Monday that owing to the
time given over to hearing a num-
ber of petitions during the day the
commissioners were not expected to
complete their report to the COVER
nor on Leo M. Franks petition for a
commutation before Tuesday, and
tnat there was a possibility that it
would be Wednesday before the report
reached Governor John M. Slaton.
The commissioners had expected
to hold their final consultation Mon
day and then take up their report,
but Monday was the opening day for
the regular June ten of hearing ap-
plications for eXecuti, clemency, and
a number of such petitions were pre-
sented and argued.
Solicitor-General Hugh M. Dorsey
let it be known that he would appear
before the governor in opposition to
Franks petition and has written to
the governor asking that he be
heard. The governor replied saying
that if the case came to him he would
notify the solicitor and give him a
full opportunity to present his argu-
ments. Attorneys for Frank will also
be given the same privilege, it being
the custom of the governor to hear
from both sides in clemency.

Inasmuch as there is no opposition
to the taking off of this train it is
more than likely that the petition will

which the question was taken up and
it was agreed to consent to the re-
moval of the train. The company, al
though taking off one of the passen-
ger trains, will continue to give

BIG CROWD OUT
QUITE A NEAT SUM WAS RE-
ALLIED AT THE OPENING LAST
NIGHT-THlS is SECRET ORDER
NIGHT.
The baseball fair is on.

UdSGDdll IdlT is OIt
Were you there last night? If not
then you failed in your duty, for it
is for the public. and the ladies have
invited the people of the city generally
to be present.
The old home of the Progress club
over the Southern Express company
has, in the short space of few weeks,
been converted into a veritable place
of beauty. Every booth has been ar
tistically decorated, the entire place
beautified and those who visited the
fair last night were really surprised
at the great amount of work the ladies'
have accomplished in so short a time,
The candy booth. of course, was the
most attractive place last night, and
no doubt will be the remainder of the
week, and during the evening about
fifty pounds of candy were disposed
of. The ice-cream parlor, as well as
the punch counter, also did a very
good business, while the other booths
werel literally patronized.
A special program by Burgess or
chestra opened the fair, and this de.
l1ghtful music was enjoyed by all of
those present
This has been designated as secret
order night and every organization of
the kind has been invited to attend.
The ladies' have worked hard and
faithfully for this fair, in a hope to
save our baseball club, and it is now
the duty of the people generally to
patronize them.

AN AGED SAILOR

JUMPS INTO RIVER tAT THE
FOOT OF GLOUCESTER STREET.

Dependency probably because he
was homeless and penniless, out of
employment and nowhere to turn for
assistance, ]. H. King, 65 years of
age, committed suicide early Sunday
morning by jumping overheard off of
the wharf at the foot of Gloucester
street The aged man was never seen
body has not yet been recovered
While there was no one standing on
the wharf when King jumped over
board, two or three small negro boys
were only a short distance away.
They saw him take off his coat, walk
to the edge of the dock and jump ov-
erboard. At first they thought it was
someone taking an early SWIM but as
the man failed to show up again they
went to the scene. Later they re-
ported what they had seen to the po-
lice and an investigation followed
The aged man had written a note
on the front of an envelope, which
was left in his coat pocket with a
number of other papers. On this en-
velope was written: ~. H. King,
Boston. Mass. Goodbye to ALL"
Through these papers the mans
identity was established and it was
ascertained that he was only recently
discharged from a hospital. This
paper gave his age, height etc 1t
was also learned that he had few
weeks ago been discharged as mem
ber of the crew of the schooner Pen
dleton Sisters.
1t was stated that King came to
Brunswick short time ago aboard a
schooner and that he lost his Job
while the vessel was in this port. He
had since been about town, without
money or friends and, also being in
bad health, no doubt devided to end
1t all
Although a thorough search has
been made for his body, the drag hav-
ing been kept up almost continuously
since the man jumped overheard, it
has not yet been recovered.
