FAILS TO ASCERTAIN
WHO LYNCHED FRANK
Georgia Grand Jury Reports That
Evidence Obtained Does Not 1den-
tify Members of Mob.

MARIETTA, Ca, September 3.-The
Cobb county grand jury investigating
the lynching Of Leo M. Frank near
Marietta has reported as follows:
I'VE have found several clues. but we
have been unable to find any one who
could identify any party. We have
done our best, under our oath, and we
regret to state that we have been un-
able to find enough evidence to 1ndlct
any one for this crime"
After 1t is stated that the jury had
the active cooperation of Gov. Nat E.
Harris, the state attorney general, So
licitor Herbert Clay and other officials
of Cobb county, the report says:
1--WE have been unable to connect
anybody with the preparation OF THIS
offense, or to identify any one who was
connected with it, although we have
investigated the information furnished
us by officers and other parties ana
have followed up letters, signed ana
unsigned, and to this end we have sub
poenaed and examined many witnesses
in an effort to disclose the perpetrators
nesses could identify any of the parties.
1--WE find, from investigation, that the
officers of the law, and the citizens OF
our town and county, knew nothing OF
this crime until they heard of the body
being found near Frey's gsn IN TINS
county. The city of Marietta and the
county of Cobb were quiet before this
trouble, are quiet now and all reports
to the contrary are untrue.

ALREADY ON THE GROUND.
Stream of Tourists in Europe to In
spect Battlefelds.

Correspondence of the Associated Press.
PARIS, August 21.-The stream of
tourists who will travel increasingly
over the battlefields for scores of years
after the European war is finished has
already begun. The traveller who OBJ
tains a suitable permission can now
take a train from Paris to Meaux in
the morning, drive in an open carriage
all day over country which was the
scene of some very important fighting
nearly a year ago, and be back at his
hotel in Paris for a late supper.
There is not much to be seen. for the
ripening harvests conceal even the hun
dreds of wooden crosses which still
mark the places where men fell and
were hastily buried. White crosses
mark the graves of French dead: black
posts with a rectangular stamp on
them mark German dead.
There are still shattered churches and
houses which show the marks of shrap-
mel and machinegun fire. and some of
the smaller bridges over the Marine are
not yet replaced. One roadside hosiery,
which was struck by a German shell,
has changed its name and now boasts
