GRAND JURY FAILS
 TOF|ND INDICTMENT
 IN THE FRANK CASE
Several Clues Investigated But No One Could Be Iden- tified = Governor Co.,
 Operates With Jury

Marietta, Ga, September 2.--The Cobb county grand jury Investigating the lynching of Leo NJ. Frank near Marietta reported late today that:
 We have found several clues, but We have been unable to find any ono who could identify any party. We have done our best. under our oath, and we regret to state that we have been un able to find enough evidence to iadict any one for this crime
 After it is stated that the jury had the active cooperation of Coy. Nat E. Harris, the state attorney general. Solic- itor Herbert Clay md other officials Of Cobb county, the report says:
 We have been unable to connect any body With the perpetration of this of- fense, or to identify any one who was connected with it, although we have in vestigated the information furnished us by officers and other parties and have followed up letters signed and unsigned, and to this end we have sub poenaed and examined many witnesses in an effort to disclose the perpetrators or this crime, but none of these wit nesses could identify any of the pa. ties E.
 We find, from investigation, that the officers of the law, and the citizens of our town and county, knew nothing of this crime until they heard of the body being found near Ffey's gin in this county. The city of Marietta and the county of Cobb were quiet before this trouble, are quiet now and all re- ports to the contrary are untrue"
 Upwards of 35 witnesses were ex- amined yesterday and today. They in- cluded the chief of police and other citizens of Atlanta and individuals of every walk of life in Marietta. Anony- nous letters. referred to in the report still are being received by officials uf Cobb county and others, but the ten dency now is to ignore them.
 Marietta is not in the frenzied state of turmoil that~has been pictured" said Solicitor Clay today.

 London, September 2.-(9.4O p. m.) Except in the region of Riga, where the Russians are presenting n solid front to von Hiadenburg, the Austro- headway and the Russian troops have resumed their four months' retreat. Grodno's western forts were evacuated after two were destroyed by the heavy guns and stOrmed by the German in- fnntry and 1t is considered extremely likely that the whole fortress .aIready has been left to Its fate, for it was no longer tenable after the Germans had crossed the Grodno-viIna railway, which they did at two points, and had penetrated the forest of BieIovIex, to the sOuthcnst of the town.
 Villa, doubtless, will be the next objec- tive of the Austro-Germans on this front
 In the southeast Vienna reports series of successes, which virtually have driven the Russians out of Galicia. They now hold only very narrow strip between the Sereth river and Bessarabia. Across the border in the latter provIlce the Aus trians state the Russians set fire to vil- lages which might indicate further re- treat. Thus the hopes raised in the allied countries by recent successes that Russia at least was making a stand, have been dissipated.
 Everywhere the Austro- Germans claim to be advancing, but they have not cap tured of late any great number of men or guns. The Russian guns have been kept behind the infantry and are quickly moved back when the rear guards are unable longer to hold off the invaders. There is some talk of an advance on Kiev, but the distance to that city is considerable and the country over which it would have to be made is difficult for the troop move ment.
 On the western front the Germans claim to have recovered trenches lost in August in the Vosges while the French refer only to artillery engagements which have been the feature of the last nine days, with no suggestion of what Is the fore shadow.
 Increased activity at the Dardanelles is shown in official reports. Besides their success in capturing an important posi- tion that dominates one of the Turkish imes, the communication says the Brit fish have sunk four more Turkish trans- ports in the straits. while the fire of the ships across Gallipoli peninsula has made Turkish troop movements by either land or sea more difficult.
 According to the Turks, mine sweepers have been busy at the entrance of the straits. suggesting that attack is con templated by the allies in another di-ec- ton.
 A Rome dispatch says that the Aus trians have evacuated Rovereto, which recent Italian advances had threatened to cut of. An official report from the same capital claims successes on different fronts -+a..-.= ts-ss t-atst9

MAKE DESPERATE EFFORT
 TO KILL THE CONVICT BILL
Governors Cohorts Tack On Amendment For Special Tax Which Must Be Submitted Both Going Into the Fight With Utmost
 Confidence
By HUGH x. ROBERTS

Montgomery. September 2.-(speciai) The senate committee on prisons and criminal administration agreed this aft ernoon to report favorably substitute for the Davis-Carmlchael anti-consict lease system bill,, which was put through the house two weeks ago by the votes of large majority of the members.
 The substitute. prepared by subcom- mittee of the general committee which was composed of Senators Lewis. Thach and Pride. provides that in the event the people of the state in an election next fall indorse a proposed bond issue of sl, ,5C0,000 by means of which to care for the convicts, and an amendment permit ting counties to assess themselves 3. mills for the same purpose. the lease system in it's entirety shall be abolished in the fall of 1918 two years earlier than sl,e 4)avis-Carmichael bill provides.

admlnistration measure, and was fore cast in an interview granted by Governor Henderson and published sometime ago in The Age-Herald. In that interview tho governor declared that before the lease system could in wisdom be abolished it would be necessary for the legislature to provide means whereby the state and the counties could care for the convic.s.
 It concidentally happens that the ad- vocates of the lease system and tho ops ponents of the lease system are prepar- ing to go into the fight in confidence. Gen Bibb Graves. who has aided in the
 fight against the system. said this after noon that he was glad the committee re- ported the bill even amended as it was. The bill will now go on the calendar" he said whereas there was previously . general fear that the committee would adverse the measure."t
 The opponents of the system are prerur- Ing first of all to kill the amendments pro- vding for bond issue elections. and then pass the bill which would then be prac- tically the same as the Davls~C Carmichael bill. which has already passsd the house

GERMANY WILLING
 ID SUBMIT ARABIC
 CLAIMS ID HAGUE
BernstOrff Instructed to Of. fer to Submit Claims for Compensation to Hague
 for Adjustment

Berlin, September 2.-(Vin London,
 September 3. 1920 a. mo-Germany,
 according to Count von Bernstorfrs
 instructions, offers to submit the
 clnims for compensation arising out of the Lusitania md Arabic cases to The | Hague for adjudication.
 l Official circles here treat the negotia- 1 tions as highly confidential and this | makes it difficult to obtain authoritative information or to transmit views held in various quarters.
 The highest officials nevertheless, are not adverse 10 admitting that they regard the situation with optimism-an optimism based on knowledge of instructions is- sued and developments here which prob ably will facilitate the task of negotia- . ton.
 Count Von Bernstorff, the German am- bassador at Washington, 1t is under stood, is in possession of fairly wide reaching authority to negotiate for q set clement of the question, and it is be- lieved proposals he is authorized to make will strike at the heart of the problem as affecting the United States They provide for immunity from attack with out warning for passenger steamers. which are to be destroyed only after be- ing halted and full opportunity has been given to the passengers and crews to em- bark in the boats under conditions of safety
 Submarine commanders will be advised of the expected arrival of liners on regu- lar schedules How far beyond this pro- vision for the safety of the larger ships Count Von Bernstorffs instructions go cannot be learned.
 Newspaper Comment
 Newspaper reports reaching here to the effect that the solution of the submarine problem is coupled with a settlement of the negotiations with Great Britain, are declared in initiated circles to be incor- rect. It is true that Count Won Bern storff has been instructed to say that the settlement of the old blockade prob lem would enable Germany to drop the whole submarine warfare against com merce. but this suggestion is quite apart from the proposals indicated above. which are independent and unconditional.
 One high government official, comment ing on the situation, dlated on the dan ger for the United States itself in pressing its demands too far. He said: There is no telling when the United States itself may want to use it's submarines in life and death struggle. It may perhaps be sorry if it has bound it's hands too tight ly."
 The press continues to display restraint, so as to avoid embarra ssing the gov ernment in the delicate government ne- gotiations. No paper follows the lead of the National Zeitung in praising President Wilson. but there Is an entire absence oi hostile or abusive comment or criticism of Chancellor Von Bethmann-Hollwegs policy.

Diplomats Reserve Comment


 Diplomats representing the bellig erent nations reserved comment on the conference until more definite inform ation has been given out. It was point ed out that many political questions cluoing the maintenance of the neu- tra1ity of the Balkans, and the estab- lishment of separate Polish king dom, would be involved in the disc,'s- sion of peace at this time.
 The Presidents offer of the services of the United States to the bellgerents still stands open and he has reiterated several times that he Is anxious to do everything possible Tn that direction. Whether he will take any further steps without hearing directly from any of the powers involved has not been made clear.
 News dispatches from abroad recent iy discussing the possibility of peace have been given the Presidents earn est attention and American diplomats communicate anything received on the subject to the President In Mir. Will sons private study in the White House, filed away by himself is a mass of data on the question, including re- ports made to him by Col. D. M. House. who spent several months abroad studying the situation.
