The mail mems Dallas band visited the
postoffice yesterday, and congregating
I'm the corner nearest Postmaster whar-
toms sanctum sanctorum proceeded to
serenade him, without having first dis
covered that he was not present. I'm
doubtedly they were desirous OF hearing
a talk from ldr. Wharton In return for
their misucaI efforts. but no talk was
forthcoming. and disconsolate bunch of
musicians trailed from the building after
they had discovered that they had wasted
their good music on the underlings OF the

ARRESTED AS COUNTERFEITER
Italian charged with Passing BAD
bills In Ten Cent store.

Through the arrest OF william Sa-
lento in Poughheepsie yesterday Capt.
John Henry OF tho local secret service
is on the trail OF what he believes 10 he
a dangerous band of countcrfeiters who
are duplicating national bank notes %
large denominatiors.
Salento and another Italian tried 10
pass an alleged bad $40 hill in Il Pough-
keepsie ten cent store. but they had
hardly got out with their change and
purchases than the character of the bill
was discovered. The store detective fol-
lowed them and arrested Salento. the
other man having disappeared in the
crowd when he saw that he and his oom-
panion were being followed,
The secret service men are convinced
that In this case the workers, although
skilled In engraving, are novices In the
counterfeiting game, as the diverse side
of the bill passed by Salento was very
poorly done. The face, however. was
almost perfect.
Salento was arrsigned before United
Statcs commissioner Houghton and at
the suggestion of Assistant United
States Attorney Emilio Yaselll was held
in $500 bail for a hearing on August
80. Mr., Yaselli explained that he asked
for a comparatively mail bond because
he believed that Salento and his COM
panlon Were only tools of the counter
letting ring.

Indeed the reports 1t has received are

President nor Secretary Lansing Will

The attitude OF the Administration
may be described in this way:
1t desires to use the utmost delibera-
ton consistent with the delicacy of the
questions involved and to omit no oppor-
tunity of avoiding a severance OF diplo-
matte relations with Germany so Ions as
there Is reasonable expectation that a
sufficient excuse can be given for the
sinking of the Arabic.
The instructions to Amba ssador Gerard

attention of the German Government
have not vet gone forward. They Will
be withheld until the President and See
retary Lansing are confident that they
have obtained all available
in regard TO the attack on the White
Star liner from other sources.
while the Presidents advisers feel
that the United States must act against
Germany IL the facts are as damaging
as they now appear, they are FAR from
being satisfied as to the temper OF the
country.

A vivid account of passengers expe-
rlences on n ship on it's way through

Joseph Brooks. the theatrical producer.
who arrived In New York yesterday on
board the White Star liner Cymric.
The British authorities refuse to allow
matter to he published in the English
newspapers regarding the experiences Of
passengers to and from England and
Mr.. Jackson tells for the first time the
extraordinary precautions taken by the
officers Of English ships to protect their
passengers from the undersea peril.
During the last few weeks extra patrol
boats and conveys have been put in
service and the area of giving protec-
tion has been increased more tina so
per cent. Mr.. Jackson says. Between
fifty and sixty vessels. ranging from
the big type OF torpedo boat destroyer
to armed cruiser yachts and armed
trawlers. nvo passenger ships leav-
ing Liverpool for the United States. These
are operated. he said. in relays of ten
or fifteen miles each and the
vessel as far as sixty or eighty miles
south OF the Old Head Of Kinsale. off
which the Lusitania was torpedoed.
Reports of the presence of submarines
are brought to Liverpool and a ball is
put upon a pole near the dock indicating
the undersea boats presence and as a
warning to prospective passengers. Just
before the vessel leaves her dock for
the western trip all the lifeboats are
made ready for quick lowering.

MIR. Jackson. the cabin stewards come

1t was learned tonight that Germany
had been given TO understand clearly
by her own agents how serious such an
incident like the sinking of the Lusi-
tania would be. II was said here on
good authority tonight that Count Won
Bernstorff, the German Ambassador
had warned his Government of his fear
tina another attack Of the character OF
the one on the Lusitaniu would mean
a break between the United States and
Germany.
The state Department has received
no official information yet as to the
convoys that the Arabic had, II any.
II was noted here to-day that the state
ment issued by the British Government
said the Arabic was not being conveyed
hen she was torpedocd by the German
submarine,
Early reports printed from London
said that the Arab was conveyed down
the Mersy. through st. Georges Channel
and that the British warships had left
her a short time before the torpedo was
fired. No information has since appeared
through official or other channels to ON
firm the fact that the Arabic had q con-
voy at any time.
However, the United States Govern
ment will want more definite information
on the point as the contention has been
raised that the Arabic might not have
the status Of an innocent merchantmen
II her conveys were still within range
when the torpedo was fred,
There seems to he no dOuht that Brit
ish censors have been holding up news

but that inumation does not, Of course,
apply in any way to the state Depart
ment's communications,

GRAND JURY TO GET
FRANK CASE SEPT. 80
Judge and Prosecutor Promise
Governor to Thoroughly
Investigate Lynching.
SOME OF SLAYERS KNOWN

ATLANTA. Aug. 2l.-Herbert CLAY of
Ridge Circuit. which includes Cobb
county. called OIL Gov. Harris to-day
and assured the Governor that he would
exert every effort within his power 10
detect the members Of the mob that
lynched Leo VI. Frank and TO bring them
to Justice.
Solicitor clay further Informed the
Governor that Judge II. l.. Patterson.
the presiding Judge OF the Blue Ridge
Circuit, has called a special term of the
Superior Court in Cobb county on the
last Monday in August TO direct a spe-
cial grand jury investigation VI the
lynching.
The Governor was gratiied over the
~promptness of Solicitor clay In coming
to Atlanta to confer with him In regard
to the lynching, and with the solicitors
evident sincerity in desiring to leave no
stone unturned to punish the lynchers.
II feel certain said Gov. Harris.
that the Superior Court of cobb county
will exert its full power under the law
to discover the identity OF the men who
perpetrated the shocking outrage upon
the state. and to punish them as the
law provides"
The Governor expects hat the Judge
and solicitor of the Baldwin County
Superior Court Will confer with him next
week concerning the lynching. Tit
Baldwin court has authority over the
lynchers for abduction. by reason Of the
fact that Milledgeville is in Baldwin
county. while the Cobb County Superior
Court has authority to deal with them
for the actual lynching OF Frank.
The names of several OF Leo Franks
lynchers are known to Gov. Harris. It
VAS said here to-day on good authority.
No arrests will be made until the
entire band Is known. it is reported.
The Governor, IL was said. has re-
ceived many threatening letters. and
to-day many more protests poured In
upon him against permitting what the
writer's termed outside interference" In
the Frank lynching inquiry.
Publicly voicing this resentment
against meddhng in the case was the
Marietta journal. believed to be the
only Georgia newspaper. except Tom
Watson's JCUerSOHidn. that has APP
proved the lynching openly, which said
editorially to-day;
W regard the hanging as an act
o. law abiding citizens. Franks body
was not married by any mark OF vio-
lenCe. Leo Frank was not scratched
nor was a hair of his head harmed"
Gov. Harris added his own protest
against any such interference in his
statement. announcing that he would
call a conference of the Judges. Sole. e
tors and Sheriffs of Cobb and Baldwin
counties to take action in the case.
