NEW YORK April Tin its essen.
fiai features today's stock market was
largely q repetition of the days pre-
scedfnE. Prices made further progress,
though gains were mainly In the spe-
cialties which have dominated opera
tons of the past fortnight. Trading
was subject to frequent periods of
dizziness and total transactions were
somewhat under recent averages.
Automobile shares broke into new
high ground, with gains which ran as
high as 2 points. Petroleum stocks,
Fertilizers. the smaller steel COM
pauieB and numerous other mtscella-
neous issues Joined In this movement,
which again bore traces Of profess
siona1 manipulation.
These advances were partly NULL
fed by corresponding declines IN vart-
III specialties. including Bethlehem
Steel, General Electric, Cuban Ameri-
can Sugar and more subordinate is
sues. Rock Island and Missouri Pa
5cffic were active at advances, but lead
ers like Union Pacific, United States
Steel. Reading and Amalgamated rose
and fell alternately.
Contrary to expectations, the publ.
cation of the Government crop report,
which showed Improvement in the
average condition of winter wheat
ove last December, failed to exercise
the slightest influence. Likewise.
sales Of refined copper at a fraction
over I cents failed of favorable effect
in the metal group.

The West Virginia fields are COM
plotting very few wells and the aver
age size is not better than in any
other division of the eastern fields.
In the deep sand territory there IL
very little new work starting and the
only development that is attracting
attention is located in Cabin Creek
district. Kanawha county. Several of
the wells nov drilling are due to get
the sand and will be of interest. In
the Weir sand development on Blue
Creek, Elk district, the South Penn
OIL Company's No. s on the Anna C.
Skinner farm is drilling in the sand,
but is not deep enough to tap the pay.
In the Burning Springs district,

Grain and Produce.

The government crop report on win.
ter wheat conditions, though quito
favorable, did not have much IL any
influence upon the stock market. The
expert observers IN Wall street, who
aim TO keep country correspondents
Informed as to hourly fluctuations in
speculative sentiment, had a difficult
task yesterday. The majority opinion
seems to be that a reaction is owe.
due. and this was the tenor OF the first
advices. Later on a rallytng tendency
induced a revision of the early opin-
ion, and a member of one very conser-
vative house came out frankly and
stated that In his opinion the market
is q purchase right now" Further
along in the session the majority OF
observers thought that even II the up
ward movement did go somewhat far.
ther, 1t would be good policy to cash
in" paper profits now and be in q
position to buy stocks back cheaper
on a reaction, which could be only .
matter OF time.

she actually did, and what was being loudly
exulted over. at the time Wilson was COM
posing his second academic paper.
Yet, the German Ambassador had adver-
tised in the New York papers, warning
Americans, in effect, that Germany meant to
sink the Lusitania
And to make Wilson's second academic
essay all the more absurd, the Germans
justify their sinking of the English passen-
ger-ship, with $50 Americans on board. by
reminding us that the German Ambassador
had qca7med Americans not to sail on the
Lusitania!
In other words, Germany went into the
American newspapers with an official ad0er
tiSement Of her intention to sink the ship;
and, although they actually sunk the vessel,
accordingly, our President, after the event,
says in formal state paper, that he does
not believe Germany meant to do what she
virtually threatened in those ADVERTISE
ments.
If this is fair sample of the wisdom
which owes its existence to orangeade and
grape juice [ think Wilson Bryan, and Rob
ert Lansing, would mend matters by taking
an occasional glass of mild beer. Whiskey
of course, is a stronger tipple than their
mental constitution could bear.
[ wonder if Wilson. Bryan, and Lansing
believe that Germany meant it, when she
murdered the women and children in Bel
GUM.

why Are Franks Hired Champions Afraid TO Publish 1
Record, and 10 Lei the World Read the Evidence w

THE readers of The Jefersonian are again
requested to take notice of the fact that
l never had word to say about the Leo
Frank case, until after his final conviction,
In the Supreme Court Of Georgia.
Immediately after this highest judicial
tribunal had passed upon the aw-points,
reviewed the evidence, and officially approved
what the court and jury below had done, the
Haas Finance Committee employed the
notorious Burns Detective Agency, and began
its systematic campaign of Misrepresentation
of the evidence, manufacture of "mob intim-
ldation," and reckless malicious SANDER
against the dead girl the honest jurors, the
upright judges, and the respectable citizens
of Georgia, whose only offense is, that we
want the laws enforced against the RICH as
we'll as against the poor.
It was not until the Atlanta Journal had
flung at lodge Roam the twelve jurors, and
the Justices of the Supreme Court, the out
rageous and unprecedented insult of saying
that Franks execution under the sentence
''would be judiciaz muyWer," that / volun-
teered in the columns of this little paper to
defend the integrity Of our courts, and the
good name of our people.
May God so Judge me, as my motives have
been cOmmendable.

Convicted Him {?

The most astounding methods continue to
mark the progress of this never ending case.
New lawyers are added to the string nearly
every day; and the names Of some of these
hired attorneys are paraded in the newspa-
pers as 'converts" to Franks innocence, when
in fact they are recruits to his regiment of
attorneys.
Lawyers and lobbyists are hired to pass
legislative requests in behalf of Frank, and
Governors Of States are importuned to med
die with our affairs; school children sign
monster petitions; Ladies' Peace Societies
fall into line; and mass meetings arc held
in Chicago. and elsewhere, and these North
ern ''mobs,'' gathered from the promiscuous
elements of city-life, pass resolutions about
case of which they know nothing except
what is excitedly stated by some infamatory
speaker who has never himself seen the official
record.
Why did not the Haas Finance Committee
print q Summary Of that oridence, as the
basis Of the appeal to the public?
Why did Franks lawyers virtually sup
press the sworn testimony and 90 to the pub
lie on the impudent falsehoods Of Burns,

"A Times, two German wireless uAAS
stations have been in operation in
this country, by virtue of the permission Of
President Wilson. 1t is stated that the Ger
mans promised the Princeton school-teacher
that they would communicate with Germany,
alone, and would not violate neutrality.
Is the astounding statement of the Times
based on facts?
Is it possible that the President licensed
German spies to use the wireless telegraph
IN this country. upon no other guarantee than
the promise of the spy?
Is the Princeton academician the only man
in America who does not know how Ger
many keeps promises, verbal and written?
Is the President not aware of the fact that
German faith has now become synonymous
with the ancient Punic faith?
[ have no doubt whatever that those
licensed German wireless stations Swallowed"
the Lusitania, and kept the Romanist traitors
and German submarines on the Irish coast

vessel.
In his first note against German assump-

President Wilson warned the contemptuous
Germans that he would hold them to strict
accountability"
