Executive Cmmittec Appeals.
At meeting OF the executive
committee of the Registration Asso-
citation yesterday a plan was agreed
upon to send out in the next few
days, letters-first, to selected BUSH
ness men on every block of the city,
asking them to see every business
and Office house on his block and TO
ascertain if every one in these stores
and office buildings are qualified, and
If not to get them to qualify at
once, and second, to the residential
parts of the city. asking that those
who are sufficiently Interested in this
movement will see, with others in
their neighborhood every one on
their block and to get the nonquali-
fed and eligible voters to fit them
selves at once to vote.
While the committee recognizes
that this Is no easy task to have car
ried out. 1t believes that these COM
munications will fall into the hands
of a sufficient number OF people who
are properly aroused on this great
question, that they should be willing
to sacrifice a little time in helping to
attain the great objects in view.
The committee takes the position
that 1t is simply a matter of arous-
ing the citizens to appreciation of the
importance of this movement, and
they feel that sufficient expression of
approval has been obtained and that
they are safe in asking the citizens to
assist,
At Treasurer PAGES Office.
Up to last night the total number
OF citizens who had paid their taxes
and who become eligible to take part
in the coming elections, was 9, 4&S7,
OF this number sixty-three paid YES

welfare of the city are urging all per-
sons who have not paid their poll

1915 is not yet due. The poll tax for

the full court in the ordinary course

Meanwhile, Franks execution is

Justice Lamar concluded his state
ment by explaining why he felt him
self called upon under the federal
act of 1908, governing appeals to the
supreme court in habeas corpus cas-
es, to grant the appeal and issue
certificate of probable cause.
THE supreme court of the United
Estates has never determined" he
said, whether on trial for murder
in a state court the due process clause
Of the federal constitution guarantees
the defendant right to be present
when the verdict is rendered.
Neither has it decided the effect
of final judgment refusing a new
trial in a case where the defendant
did not make the fact of his alb
sence, when the verdict was return
Led, ground of the motion, nor claim
that the rendition Of verdict in his
absence was the denial of a right
guaranteed by the federal constitu-
ton.
Nor has it passed upon the effect
OF Its own refusal to grant a writ
OF error in a case where an alleged
jurisdictional question was present.
ed in motion filed at a time not
authorized by the practice of the
state where the trial took place.
Such questions arc all involved
in the present case and since faey
have never been, stetled by any au-
thoritative ruling by the full court.
1t cannot be said that there is such
want of probable cause as to war
rant the refusal of an appeal"

Leo Frank Granted New Trial.

Washington, Dec. 28.-Justice La
mar, OF the United States Supreme
Court, friday granted an appeal from
the decision of the Georgia federal
court which refused to release Leo
Frank on a habeas corpus proceed
ms.
Frank is under death sentence for
the murder Of Mary Phagan, an At
lanta factory girl.
The celebrated case now comes be-
fore the highest court in the land,
a goal for which Franks attorneys
have been fighting for weeks and
which was once previously denied.
although on another point Of the
proceeding.
In the present proceeding, Frank S
attorneys argued to the federal court
OF Georgia that state courts in which
Farnk had Deen convicted of MUIR
der, had lost jurisdiction over their
client because he had not had a fair
trial and had been convicted in an
atmosphere of violence. They asked
the Georgia federal court to release
Frank on habeas corpus writ.
Justice Newman refused AMI de-
clined to grant an appeal to the su-
preme court.
The appeal to Justice Lamar,
granted today, permits them to bring
their case up for hearing in Wash
ington.
Justice Lamar, in statement ex-
planning why he had granted the APP
peal, said the application for the ap-
peal presented an entirely different
situation from the application for a
writ of error which he had declined
to grant about month ago.
He cited several constitutional
questions which were involved in the
present appeal which he said the SUI
preme court had never passed upon.
For this reason. he said, there was
probable cause" for the appeal.
The appea. will be docketed in the
