MARIETTA SUSPICIOUS
Of STRANGERS NON
Eight Rounded Up And shipped Out
Of Town In HOE Car Fra
day Night.
SEEMED TO RE LABoRERs.
Many Threatening Letters Have Beeu
Received Since Frank Lynching and
oaicials Are Taking No Chanccs Of
Trouble.

Marietta, Ga, Aug. 2s.--EtEht men
whose actions aroused suspicious oil
citizens of this little town and who
did not give satisfactory explanation
of their presence here, were rounded
up late last night. placed in box car
attached to a freight train ready 10
leave, and sent away. No arrange
ments, as far as could be learned to-
day, had been made with the railroad
to transport these persons, but the
car was guarded safely until the train
left the town limits.
Since Leo M. Frank was lynched near
here August II. several persons. whose
business in the town was not known
have been invited TO leave. Five men
who had the appearance Of laborers
and said they were seeking employ
ment here were ordered away yester-
day, and today could not be found. In
the opinion of the police they did not
seem to make a serious attempt to get
work. The eight men sent away last
night also appeared to be laborars.
These events and the continual re-
ceipt OF letters threatening various
sorts OF vengeance because Frank was
lynched caused police officials here TO
increase the number of officers by fif-
teen today. The letters are being re-
ceived from all parts of the country
by town and Cobb County officials and
by persons who have given interviews
on the Frank case to newspa pers out
side the State. Some of the letters
have been turned over to postoffice In
spectors at Atlanta.

Readers Make Magazines.

In answer to recent criticism Of
magazine editors which blames them
for the staleness and conventionality
of magazine fiction, a writer in The
New Republic says;
Most of our magazine, fiction Is
what II is because most OF our maya :
zine readers are what they are. The
fiction has merits. and these are the
same as the quite obvious merits OF
the readers. Stories may be conven-
tionalized and flat because Of the APP
lication OF formula, but the formula
exists not alone In the demar.d OF the
editors, but In tsne lives and tastes OF
the people. and doubtless also In the
minds Of most writer's.
TmagtDations harnessed TO ma
chimes, devoted TO bank balances, de-
veioped In advertising cleyerness, or
watchfui OF magazine makers
have no time, no freshness. for encom-
passing the authentic expression or the
native flavor OF the unusual personal
itv. They resent the unformulized.
They lived by formula, and they would
be at loss without formula in their
amusement. They require stimulation
by smartness and kick rather than
byN emotion. and they need soothing
with happy endings They are not to
be blamed for this. It IL ! biological

The man who perishes at work,
or dies of sun or fever-stroke,

His spirit in the battie-smoke.
So let the tribute OF tear.

And ere they finished. dropped and

The glory of a martial death.
A place upon the scroll OF Fame.

But 10! their blood cements the stones.
Their lives, though all ungiorified.
Are welded with the waterway:
Not one of them In vain tias died,

Through burning sun and reeking
