London, Nov. 17.-Both the military

in the Balkans is disquieting, If not
critical, a fact which doubtless led to
a visit of the British minister, Mr.. AS.

the south by the Bulgarian advance
beyond Tetovo must depend on the
rough roads OF Montenegro and upon
Albania for any supplies from the sea.
Only Two Routes Left.
In the south the Serbian position
is almost as bad. The success Of the
Bulgarian flanking attack at Babuna
pass and their advnce from Veles
have prevented the hoped for junction
of the Serbian and French t0fce3.
This leaves the Serbian forces only

Marietta, Georgia, Aug. 17.-Leo M. Frank, serv
ing life term for the murder of Mary Phagan, an
Atlanta factory girl and who was taken from the
state prison farm at Milledgeville last night was
lynched two miles east of Marietta by the armed
tomobile crowd which took him.
Frank was brought 100 miles from the prison
farm to point almost within sight of the former
home of Mary Phagan. Then he was hanged to
tree
No shots were fired.
Franks body, bare footed and clad only in prison
trousers and shirt, was found at $50 o'clock this
morning.
It is believed that he lynched about daylight.
Several automobiles, well loaded, left here in the
direction of Medgevle last night After the return
of the machines today, officers started out the road
which they believed the automobiles had travelled.
They had gone only two miles when they found the
body of Frank hanging to a tree not more than 150
yards from the roadside.
News that the body had been found, spread rap
idly and within short time hundreds OF persons were
crowding to the scene No immediate effort was made
to cut the body down Sheriff Hicks was not in town
and the coroner took no action.
1t is believed that the stop at the bridge the
little river, near Eatonton, where the armed party
talked loudly and fired shots was ruse to delay the
pursuers At the time the vicinity of the bridge was
being searched it is probable that Frank had already
met death
Judge Morris telephoned from Smyrna to an un-
dertaker to meet the automobile and take charge of
the body

FIGHTING FOR
MISSOURI RIVER
IMPROVEMENTS

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. I'm re-
sponse to a call issued Aug. by the
Kansas city commercial club for a
conference concerning q report of
Lieut.. Col. Herbert Deakyne, war de-
partment engineer on the advisability
of Improving the Missouri river at
government expense, congressman,
delegates from the river association
and representatives from commercial
and civic organizations from Missouri,
Kansas, Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska
met here today.
In his report, Lieut.. Col Deakyne as
serted that ''the present and reasonable
prospective commerce of the Missouri
river between Kansas City and the
mouth was not sufficient to warrant
the continuance OF the present pro-
iect." He recommended that the pres
ent project be modified SO as to provide
for snagging alone at an estimated cost
of $4,000 per year and that all other
work be stopped.
The plan for improving the Missouri
river as outlined by commission OF
army engineers and approved by con-
gress was to appropriate $2o,000,000 at
the rate of $2.0Q0.000 "a year for ten
years to clear the river SO as TO insure
a 6-foot channel, adequate for naviga-
tion purposes from Kansas City to st.
Louis. Six million dollars have been
appropriated for the work since 1910.
Discussing the report OF Lieut.. Col.
Deakyne, Congressman w. p. Borland,
of Kansas City said:
"a crisis has come for the industries
OF the Missouri valley If this section
of the country, located the farthest OF
any on a natural trade route, is to de-
rive any benefit from the Panama cam
al the Improvement of the Missouri
river is instantly apparent. The Miss
iesippi river presents a natural outlet
into the Gulf OF Mexico Tor South Am.

GRAIN POURS
into CHICAGO

Chicago, Aug. 17.-Huge receipts
here yesterday, aggregating 1858 car
loads. weighed down the price Of
wheat. The market, although steady
at the close, with September at
$1.04 lis and December $1.04 SIS, was
1hc under Saturdays finish. Other
leading staples, too, all showed a net
decline-corn Lac to 5-Sc, oats 1zc to
1c, and provisions &c to 17h at zoe.
The spectacle Of sample tables clear
across the exchange floor piled high
with little bags that each represented
a new car of wheat just arrived in
Chicago proved too much for the
nerves Of even the hardest bull trader
- the pit Besides, weather conditions
Iuvored threshing and shipping, and
there were dispatches at hand predict
ing tremendous yields in the spring
crop states to the northwest and in
Canada as well A new low record for
sterling exchange was also a bearish
influence. The wheat market. how
ever, was steadied later by the fact
that good export demand appeared
TO have developed circumstance that
seemed at least in part as a result of
the decline in prices. About 1000, 900
bushels was estimated to have been
sold to Europe, including business not
announced on Saturday.
Some additional support for wheat
developed in the late transactions on
fears that a gulf storm reported at
Galveston would bring heavy unwel-
come rains in the winter crop states
southwest. Country offerings in the
southwest, though We're larger, and
notices of consignment were liberal
Corn weakened with wheat. Subse-
quentIy, however, pessimistic crop ad-
vices from Iowa tended to bring about
a rally that left the market steady at
the close with September 737-Sc, and
December SO at SO 1-Sc.
Oats like wheat, felt the pressure OF
hedging sales owing to heavy arrivals.
Al continued good movement was ex-
pected.
Provisions gave way in sympathy
with grain and hogs. Demand was
very low, but 1t was said that some
export business was being done in
meats.

Great Crowd Around

Not to MutiIate 1t
FRANKS BODY SAVED FROM
..-. MUTILATION BY NEWTON MORRIS.

Marietta, Aug 17-The crowd about Franks
body increased rapidly the day wore on. By 10
o'clock many women and children were minging with
the crowd the woods at the edge of which the body
hung Up to that hour effort had been made to dis
pose of the body although Coroner Booth had been
summoned. ~.
Franks body was cut down at 1015 o'clock but
not until Robert Howell had spoken to the crowd adj
vocating mutilaton of the body Newton Morris plead

course. l...

whelmngly in favor of allowing the to take

erican trade. If this is taken advan-
tage of especially by our grain ship
pers, additional profit can be secured
through the cutting out of the middle
man in the form Of the English job
Der. AS the situation now stands, we
ship raw wheat to England, chiefly to
Liverpool, where 1t is turned into the
finished product and sent in English
bags to the South American trade.
English labor benefits thereby and the
by products are lost to us in the trans
action. With the establishment of
hydro electric plants in the Missouri
valley and there are many fine points
where they are available, the middle
man is cut out and additional profit is
put into the pocket OF the grower.
THE same situation holds good for
much OF our canned goods and COM
modities. With direct trade routes
long hauls are obviated and additional
profits enjoyed by the producers. Rail-
road freight cars have been brought
down by the recent activity OF the riv-
er. showing the result of healthy COM

WOULD COMPEL
PHONE LINES
hs a ,Es9 Et
TO CONNECT

st. Paul, Aug. 1.-THE first step in
an attempt to compel connection of
competing telephone lines under the
law passed by the last legislature
which places telephone companies un-
der the jurisdiction of the state rail-
road and warehouse commission, has
been taken by the city Of Owatonna.
In petition filed with the commits
sion the council declares that physical
connection between the Tri State and
Telegraph company toll lines and the
Northwestern Telephone Exchange
company's local exchange is a pub
ne need.
The companies are given twenty
days in which to file an answer to the
complaint The law places the burd-
en- of proof on telephone companies to
show cause why physical connection
should or should not be made. When
answer is filed the commission will
set date for the hearing, and If it
is found that physical connection Of
the lines is \ public necessity an or
der compelling the connection will be
issued.
The outcome of the case will es-
tabIish a precedent that will affect
many other towns and cities in the
state.
For more than fifteen years the bill
placing telephone companies under
the jurisdiction of the railroad and
warehouse commission came UP for
consideration at each session of the
legislature. Several times the meas
ure. fathered by Representative Frank
z. Minette, passed one house on
ly to meet defeat in the other house.
Two years ago it reached Governor
Eberhart who vetoed 1t.
Near the END Of the last session the
measure passed both houses after
some of its Objectionable features had
been eliminated. and was signed by
Governor Hammond.

Harrison Marris, son-in-law of the
founder OF the Wharton School of
Finance in the Pennsylvania Uni
versity, from which Professor Scott
Nearing was dismissed by the trustees
Of the university, strongly opposed
the action. He is one of the execu-
tors of the will of Joseph Wharton
and is therefore believed to know the
intentions of the founder OF the
school.
I'VE charge that the real reasons for
Professor Nearing's dismissal said
Mr.. Morris, "are a Inenance to educa-
tional progress and we have every
expectation that all liberty loving cd
ueators In the country will rally to
our support In this case. The great
question involved is whether educa-
