Milledgeville, Ga, July 20.-Phy-
sicians who examined Leo M. Frank
in the state prison early today, said
his condition was much worse. The
Jagged cut in his throat received at the
bands Of William Green. a fellow pr1S-
oner, Saturday night, was swollen and
his temperature was at 1O2 20.
The attack on Frank was made late
Saturday night. Green, who slept In
4 bunk, the fourth from Franks, asked.
permission Of the guard to leave MIS-
cell. Permission was granted. A mo.
ment later the cries of Frank u
the guards running to him.
Frank had fallen to the floor. When
the lights were switched on, 1t was
!ound that he was bleeding badly from
cash in his throat. Two surgeons
who are serving terms in prison, rem
iered first aid before the arrival or Dr.
>. B. Compton, the prison surgeon. A
.otal of 20 stitches were taken In the
wound in Franks throat. The Juglar
rein was partly severed.
The motive for the attack Is un-
mown. Green, when questioned re-
Iretted the murderous assault on MS
elbow prisoner, but said that he
Thought that 1t should be done"
The wound was inflicted with a knife
made from an old file, which the con-

DR.. H. J. Rosenberg, the Frank fam
~ physician, who returned to Atlanta

temperature continued to rise, and at

intervals. The temperature reached the
highest shortly before s o'clock. and

TERRIBLE CONDITIONS
IN MEXICAN CAPITAL
Starving People Fight For Bits
of Dead Horse-100, 900
Are Destitute.

washington. d. c.. July 20.-State
department dispatches today from No
gales confirmed earlier reports OF the
victory OF Carranza troops over Villa
forces at Anavacachi, Sonora The tri-
umphant forces took possession Of Ca
nanea
American Consul Silliman reported
the arrival of large quantities of food
at Vera Cruz and that wireless com
m~unication between Vera Cruz and
Mexico City probably would be estab-
hshed today by means OF the new sta
ton at Chapaultepec, Installed by Cen
eral Carranza.
Famine conditions in the capital are
described by a Red Cross report re-
ceived today: Dated July 1. 1t says
more hi 100, 600 women on the pre-
vious day applied to the international
committee for food tickets. Only 10000
were available. -
Where formerly 200 people a day
went to the slaughter house to get the
blood that Is saved and given away"
he report says, there are now 1000
daily hesieging the gates. Near there
the other day 20 people were seen
struggling to get pieces Of a dead
horse.'
The report continues: ..
Infants in arms are given food en-
tirely unsuited to them, and the rate Of
infant mortality consequently is very
high. The adulteration of flour and
other foods and the Limitation Of the
coarser and poorer kinds are causing
much stomach trouble. ,
The vastness Of the misery already
manifest makes h task of relief al
most hopeless. From interviews with
those who have been working at the
lief they al give Is but a touch of
what needs TO be given.
I'm some cities, such as Tampico and
Vera Cruz, where there is still business
or favorable conditions exist, wages for
day labor have increased so consider
ably that the rise in the cost and de-
probation Of currency have not had
such a disastrous effect as they have
here in Mexico City n in most parts
of the country.
zone man vouched for as reputable
and trustworthy, who has just returned
from the United States by way OF Ell
Paso, Torreon and other points to the
north, reports a marked change for the
worse has taken place in the region
through which he passed in the last
three weeks.
He mentioned Aguas Calientes as
being in great distress.
1.-THE acreage planted to corn and
other grains this year in h great grain
producing states Is limited he said.
Estimates Of this vary from 10 to 80
per cent Of the normal as an average,
the most common being from 20 per
cent. My own observation of fields be-
tween here and Vera Cruz is that not
over half Of the normal is planted.
Even IL all of this natures with q
good yield and can be harvested, it is
going to be far inadequate for future
needs"
Reports from the state of Oaxaca,
which early in June declared its in
dependence OF the rest Of Mexico until
general peace Is restored, say the peo-
pie there are enjoying comparative
prosperity. The state has coined its
own money, and notice has been served
that the people will resist invasion by
any faction.

PRISONER ADMITS
FIVE Ak MURDERS
Man Who Confessed to Blue
Island, Ill.,, Crimes May Be
Responsible For VIII
liSCa Horror.

Chicago. July 20.-Police Of q num-
Der Of cities today delved into records
Of mysterious ak murders while two
OF Blue Island, Ill, left for Buffalo to
bring back Casimir Areizewski, who is
said to have cofessed to the murder Of
Jacob Mislich, his wife, his daughter,
Mrs. Many Mansfield and her baby,
Mary Mansfield, in Blue Island, Ill,
July 5, 1914. Aeri Areizwski vas a
boarder at the Mislich home and he told
the Buffalo police that he waited until
the family was asleep and then killed
his victim with an ak.
A similarity of series Of ak murders
which began four a ago in Colo
RADIO Springs stretched across the coun-
try to Ellsworth. Kan, to Monmouth,
Ill, and hen to Villisca, Ia, and east
to Boston. led the police to believe that
perhaps n man was responsible for
all the crimes. The murder Of the four
persons in Blue Island, Ill, In 1914,
brought the total number of victims to
81.
All the murders were committed by
a mar who used an ak and the crimes
were all the work of a man who virtual
ly left no clew behind. In each in
stance he waited until the persons were
asleep. All the crimes were committed
on a Sunday night.
A list of other ak murders in regard
to which Areizewski will be questioned
when he is returned to Chicago fol-
lows:
H. c. Wayne, wife and child, and
Mrs. A. J. Burnham and two children,
Colorado Springs, Colo, September,
1911.

WELSH MINERS MAY
RETURN TO LADORS
Proposals For Settlement of
Strike Believed to Point
Peaceful Way Out.

London, July 20. - 1t is UNDER
stood that new proposals have been adj
vanced. which are likely to constitute
q basis on which both sides concerned
in the South Wales coal strike will be
able to orange peace without loss Of
prestige.
No definite information has been CIV
en- out but there was another dramatic
turn in the situation this afternoon, as
the result of a communication sent, fol-
lowing a cabinet meeting, to the execu-
tive committee OF the miners at Car
diff. The committee, which was in
session when the communication was
received. adjourned Immediately and
started for London to meet Walter
Runciman. president Of the board of
trade, this evening.
It was learned later that the pro-
posals for ending the strike originated
with the miners. They were SEN to
London by the executive committee,
with the sanction of he miners lead
ers, who believe they will prove accept
able.
1t is understood the plan contem-
plates temporary concession of the de-
mands Of miners, which, however,
would not be embodied in any new
agreement until h government has
had ample time to consider the whole
matter. The questions In dispute would
then be referred to the munitions court.
which would decide regarding marginal
differences between the award of Mr..
Runciman and the full demands. 1t is
possible that Mr.. Runciman, himself.
instead Of the munitions court, may
conduct the arbitration.
David Lloyd George, minister of mu-
nitions. has at last taken a hand In the
South Wales coal strike and announced
his intention Of going to Cardiff to-
night to have a talk with the men. This
announcement was made shortly after
It became known that new proposals
had been advanced which apparently
offered good prospects OF settling the
strike.
