|. NJ. FRANK SLAYERS
UNKNOWN IS VERDICT
Witnesses at Inquest Fail to
Give CIeW to Lynchers.

Marietta, Ca, Aug. 25.-After ques-
to elicit single clew as to the iden-
tity of any person connected with the
lynching of Leo NJ. Frank near this
city last Tuesday morning, a coron-
er's jury returned verdict that
Frank came to his death by hanging
at the hands of parties unknown"
City and county officials testified that
they had endeavored diligently to get
at the facts of the lynching, but their
efforts had been of no avail
"Of course, you know these things
are pretty close and are hard to find
out" said Mayor Dobbs of Marietta.
Deputy Sheriff Hicks and City Mar
shall Looney said they were working
hard on the case, but at this time
could throw no light on the identity
of the persons who participated in the
lynching.
The nearest to a disclosure as to
what happened in the oak grove near
the Frey gin came from 3. "A. Benson,
Marietta merchant, who drove past
the place soon after the lynching par
ty had parked its automobiles on the
roadside and had led Frank to the
tree where death awaited him. Mr..
Benson said he had pretty good
suspicion as to what was going on
but he did not stop to see it and he
did not recognize anybody in the
party.

Every once in few days one reads
in the newspapers of some case of a
woman who has disguised herself in
men s clothes, and has gone out to
work at some position commonly filled
by man. Probably there are many
more cases of these DISCUSSES that are
never discovered, or at least are never
made public. 1t is the lawless and ir-
irresponsible end of the general move.
ment for freer conditions for women.
To many women with courage and
physical strength, the limitations still
thrown about their sex seem not merely
absurd but unjust. They feel perfectly
competent to run street cars, build
bridges or dig bitches if need be. They
see nothing that prevents their earn
ing man s pay at some strenuous oc-
cupation, except the accident of sex.
Tor this they were in no, wise response
BILE. The limitations Of this sex acct
dent can apparently be wholly eluded
by the simple expedient of cutting
their hair, and DOMINIC man s suit,
shoes, and hat.
AS far as physical ability is con
cerned, most of them would "get by
in the disguise, were they not betrayed
by something feminine in their appear
ance, or through some of the embarrass-
ments of the situation. No doubt the
conventional exclusion of women from
certain employments seems so unfair
that they feel conscience clear in dis
regarding the laws of the state and
social customs.
1t is of course proceeding not to be
encouraged. Men and women are not
yet arrived at that sexless state of per.
lection where they can herd together
promiscuously. But some of the pre-.
JUDGES that hinder the advance of wo.
men, when known to be women, should
SO disappear that no woman would have
the shadow of reason for posing as a
man.
The men who object to the entrance
of women into some new field are usu.
ally the inefficient and unsuccessful
who fear lest they could not stand fem
mime competition. The sense Of fair
ness has long ago said that any work
that a woman can do without injury
to herself should be open to her on
even terms.

There is feeling among politicians
that the selection Of Lansing for the
head of the cabinet on the sole ground
that he is the man best fitted by train
ing and experience for the position is
establishing dangerous precedent and
one that is likely TO make trouble in
the future for deserving patriots who
have nothing to recommend them but
their records as strict party men.

Deserving School
Calls For Aid

Though there are many calls for
appropriations to charitable organ
izations from a none too plethoric
State treasury the Delaware Indus
trial School for Girls is making a
very strong plea for financial aid
from the present Legislature, and
those who know something of the
admirable work the School is doing
for the moral and social rehabilita-
ton of young girls once wayward
must commend it to the favorable
attention Of the Legislature. The
institution is unique in Delaware
and two years ago a Legislative
Committee that visited it declared
it to be ian absolute necessity to
the State" " More girls are" COM
mitted by the Courts to the kindly
protection and training Of the
school than it can decently provide
for, and the managers. headed by
Mrs. Charles NJ. Curtis. are at their
wits end to know how the good
work can be carried on without
prompt and liberal aid from the
present Legislature. AS an insti-
tuition for character building it is
one Of the best assets of the State
aud has long roll of reclaimed
girls to its credit.

HEAVY FIGHTING IN ALPS
 ITALIANS REPULSE AT TACKS
Special to The Times By Associated Press.

UDINE, Italy, July 12.-The Austrians have been making desperate efforts to penetrate into Italy through the Carnic Alps The fighting in the vicinity of the Ploecken Pass has been furious, but the Italians have far repulsed every attack mfct ing heavy losses on the enemy. The Austrians seem determined to break through at this point, and their attacks are incessant with constantly increasing force Most of the attacking has been done in the night and comparative calm pervades the firing line in the day time With the coming of nightfal, both armies on the alert, the Italians having learned to expect trouble, and the Austrians awaiting the orders to charge. Much hand to hand fighting has been going on and the wounded are pouring back into the base hospital in steadily growing stream, Every attack so far has been failure.
 To the southeast, the Italians have redoubed their efforts in big attempt to take all the forts protecting the Pusterla Valley along the river Drave. With the occupation of the towns on that river, Trent could only be supplied by way of Innesbruck The fighting here is heavy and many artillery duels are in progress.

ENGLAND CONDEMNS SHIPS
 MANY VESSELS SEIZED

LONDON, July 12.-The Attorney General has instituted legal proceedings in the prize court asking the court to condemn the Norwegian steamers Alfred Nobel, Kim Bjornsterne Bjornson and the Swedish steamer State Frideland. These vessels have been detained in British ports pending the outcome of the suits commenced today. The Attorney General asserts that these vessels have been carrying abso lutely unconditional contraband from America to Germany. Thirty other vessels with similar cargoes have been captured and similar actions will be taken by the Attorney General against them. The whole sale tying up of these ships follows the result of a long investigation made by agents of the British government.
 This investigation has disclosed a startling state of affairs and has sufficiently answered the puzzlng question of how Germany getting some of her supplies. The authorities claim and they say they have ample evidence to prove their assertions that Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, was virtually turned into depot for the feeding of German troops Big cargoes consigned to Danish houses consisting mostly of farm products and packing house products, were in some way man euvered over the border into Germany after being landed in Copenhagen. The ships used to transport the goods from the United States were all Scandi- navian vessels and according to the Scotland Yard officials were aware of the nature of their cargo and it's ultimate destination All of these consgnments of foodstus eventually reached the German troops, as none of it was intended for the civilian popula- tion The Kim and the Frideand had large quan- titles of rubber on board, which listed as gum.

They were soon obliged. for shortly after they arrived, chunk of ice, as one oi the spectators remarked, "as big as Spike Island" fell off into the river with a mighty roar, and sent huge tidal wave rolling over to the opposite bank.
 The train started home at p. m. but was Jagged by Mrs. Barnette d Mile 30 who informed the conductor Oscar Larson, that somebody hat been left behind The train backed off the 19 miles to the glacier ant after rescuing the stranded ones, ono more chugged off towards home, arriy ing at the depot about 5:45.
