FINDING FOR FRANK
Is EXPECTED TO-DAY
Prison Commission Said to Be
Ready to Recommend
Clemency.
U~NFAIRNESS Is CHARGED

ATLANTA, June ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Dorsey will appear before Gov. John NJ.
Slaton when the petition for commute
ton Of Leo NJ. Franks sentence comes up
for a hea ring. in order TO enter n pro-
test against any change in the verdict
OF the jury.
This became known to-day when Il
was learned thai Gov. Slaton had written
a letter TO the Solicitor-General In
which he had granted permission to Mr..
Dorsey TO appear before him In the
event the Frank case is presented to him
for action.
II Is also said that attacks will be
made upon some of the evidence intro
duced by the petitioners at the hearing
before the Prison Commission II is
understood that Mr.. Dorsey. through his
detectives. has Investigated the letter
written by Judge Roam on his deathbed.
In which tho Judge emphasized his doubt
of the guilt OF Frank.
Mr.. Dorsey in the last few weeks has
received thousands OF letters protesting
against any interference with the de-
cision of the Judge and jury and has
many petitions which, II IL understood,
he will present TO the Governor.
1t ls generally believed that the Prison
Commission will make its
ton known Tomorrow. The understand
ing is that this recommendation viii ne
favorable. owing to the splendid showing
made by the prisoners representatives.
The Governor liz by no means bound
20 accept the finding. The commission
has the power to send the case TO the
Governor without any recommendation.
1t Is said that the commissioners find
ing. II favorable. will be attacked by Mr..
Dorsey as unfair. This has been indi-
Gated in articles written by Thomas
Watson. who Is known TO be in close
touch with Mr.. Dorsey. Mr.. Watson
has charged that before the hearing
was held two OF the Commissioners
expressed themselves as favorable to
Frank.
Many letters received by Mr.. Dorsey
from Georgians declare that outside IN
luences' are ut work TO break down
Georgia courts and make a nlockery
OF the criminal law.
The real sensation at the hearing be-
fore Gov. Slaton Is expected t. develop
from the attack on the letter OF the
late Judge Roam. II is said thai Mr..
Dorsey has startling a%ffidavits In re-
gard 10 this letter.

patriot, who first appreciated the Inn

end of immense ironclads.
The article deals with submarines, a
subject in which his interest never
tagged. He quotes an interview with
Victor Augagneur, the War Minister
Of Marine, in which he declared that
recent events had at least partially
proved tina the advocates OF submarines
were right in their contention. NJ. Pei
lrtan pays a high tribute to Admiral
Aube, who was Minister OF Marine thirty
years ago. calling him the founder OF
the submarine school,, and adding that
his efforts were frustrated by the enemies
he made among Admirals and big ship
builders.

w%,surNc-cS. June s-The Belgian
ysration issued n statement to-day re-
,,ylnr to charges against the Belgian
Goyernment and people contained in the
se-nan White Book in which answer
ras made to the accusations that Ger
MAN soldiers had committed atrocities
In Belgium.
The Belgian Legation asserts that the
German Government offers no facts to
.yrpor, its assertions. but merely makes
aat denials without proof. Here is the
statement:
"The American newspapers have pub
,lshed extracts from a German White
Rock in which the German Government
accuses tho Belgian civilian population
Of havlng risen en- masse and taken up
arms against the invaders and OF having
organized corps of franc tireurs.' The
German Government also claims In this
document that the Belgian Government
gave free rein to the passions OF the
yopula.ion and alleges that Belgium's
Accusations against the German army
were invented to hide her own crimes.
oNo proof j. brought forward to sup
nor, these accusations.

one of the percleXing things about
the revelation of the commissioner bust

The other Alternative.

ION the other hand We have:
The statements made by the German
Government without the support OF any
proof.
TT is useful to call attention to the
fact that the German Government.
which within its White Book frequently
cites the Hague convention, commenced
the war by the most fragrant violation
OF that convention, In attacking with
out right or justice and in disregard
of a solemn treaty. n peaceable. small
and neutral nation whose only oferce
was that she. in her turn. refused TO
violate a treaty or to abandon her neu-
trality for the benefit of Germany.
This German Government which cites
the Hague convention has continually
violated the stipulations OF that conven-
ton in regard to the conduct to be OBJ
served in war.
TT has taken hostages and executed
them 1t has confiscated n seized the
property of private individuals II has
imposed contributions and illegal and
ruinous taxes on a neutral country
which II had unjustly attacked II has
bombarded open towns: II has shot.
without trial. non-combatants. including
women and children 1t has made use OF
poisonous gas it has torpedoed unarmed
merchantmen. both neutral and bellig-
erent, often without warning. and in
many cases part of their crews and
passengers lost their lives in these un-
justifable attacks again, just recently.
II has In this last way, planned and
caused the death of more than a thou
sand innocent victims. Among these un-
f%ortunates were many women n over
forty little children. Were they too
francs tireurs'?
"Between these two collections OF evil
dence the universe will Judge. II II has
not already done So"
