VERDICT IN
FRANK CASE
IS RETURNED
Death at Hands of unknown
Parties' Is Result of Cor
oner's Inquest.
GRAND JURY HOWEVER
WILL PROBE LYNCHING.

Marietta, Ga, Aug. 24.-Tht Coron-
er's inquest here today into the lynch
ing of Leo NJ. Frank, resulted in Il YER
diet OF death 1T the hands OF parties
unknown
Not one of the officials or other citi.
zens examined threw the slightest
light upon the identity of the man
who took Frank from the State Prison
Farm at Milledgeville and hanged hum
on the outskirts of Marietta.
Only once during the proceedings
did it appear there might be a dis
closure which might materially have
altered the jury's conclusion. That
developed during the examination OF
]. A. Benson, a Marietta merchant.
Benson testified that he drove past
tie oak ihicket while the cars or the
"yigilamts committee" were parked
outside and presumably while the
hanging was under way. Mr.. Benson
went SO far as to say that he saw one
or two of the men in the party.
The witness frankly stated that he
had pretty strong "sufficierce' OF
what was taking place, for he had
been told by "Bill' Frey, farther up
the road that several automobiles had
Just "wuizzed by" and it looked like
something was doing "in the way OF
Frank"
In answer to a direct question as to
the identity of the men he had seen,
Benson said he did not recognize any
one.
The next step in the Frank inquiry
is expected to be taken when the
grand jury meets at Marietta Septenl'
Der 1st. Judge Patterson of the Blue
Ridge circuit will deliver a special
charge and Solicitor General Herbert
CLAW will direct the investigation.

EASTMAN COMPANY is
DECLARED A MONOPOLY.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 24.-The East
man Kodak Company of Rochester is
monopoly in restraint of trade, in
violation of the Sherman Antitrust
laws, according to a decision handed
down here late today by Judge Hazel,
of the U. S. District Curt. The deci-
sion grants the defendant company an
opportunity to present a plan "for the
abrogation of the illegal monopoly on
the third day of the November term.
No Remedy As Vet.
Judge Hazel in his opinion stated
that while it appeared that no ir-
remediable hardship would result
from separation of the present bus
mess into two or more separate COM
panies, it was not at this time intend
ed to indicate either dissolution, d.
vison, or reorganization.
1t no doubt is possible, he said, that
an adequate measure Of relief might
result from enjoining the unfair pre-
JUDGES of the code of sale agreement
and from separation of the business,
but that the defendants should have
Jan opportunity to present to the
court on the first day Of November,
1915, a plan for the abrogation OF the
illegal monopoly rnduly and unreas-
onably restraining Interstate trade
and commerce, or any appeal from
this interlocutory decree is taken to
the supreme court, an dthis decision
is affirmed, such plan is to be present
ed within sixty days from the filing of
the mandate. N4,
Immense Profits.
The court quoted the great gains
and profits of the company for the
year 1912, which amounted to $15,633..
551.33 or about III percent on total
sales of $24,763, ,407.65, as showing the
large disproportion between the cost
of manufacture and the price paid by
the consumer. 1t is llndisputed the
court held, that the Eastman company
controlled approximately Is percent
or 80 percent of the entire trade and
had accordingly obtained a monopoly.

A Public Bathing Place.

Mayor Wellin has inaugurated a
move to provide a place where the
boys Of the city, especially of the west
end may feel free to bath and swim.
With the arrival of fine weather swim
ming and diving from the bridge on
the Foot Lake dump has revived. Last
Sunday there were quite few bath
ers. Bathing on this narrow road
leads to embarrassment Of those who
cross, and Sunday there was a call for
the police to suppress the appearance
of naked bathers. Mayor Wellin pro-
poses that the beach on the point of
the Playground park be set aside for
bathers and that the bath house on
the grounds be fixed up for dressing
rooms. Each bather will be required
to wear trunk bathing suit. A spring
board for diving would be placed in
position. This is a splendid idea and
we hope it will materialize.

StearnS County History.

A history Of Stearns county edited
by w. B. Mitchell has just been is
sued in two volumes, and is spoken
Of as fine work. The editor says that
had the work been undertaken ten
years ago it would have been possible
to make it more exact and that ten
terial from the early days would have
been lost. The Kandiyohi County
History issued in 1905 was compiled
none too early to get the facts about
the early times authentically recorded.
