and asked IL ne had anything 10 say.
MIR. Dorsey replied in a lengthy letter

The brief to be presented in Franks

minute chronology of the case from the
date OF the crimes discovery up to the
application for clemency.
The three basic reasons for the ap-

Chief Justice Fish and Justice Beck OF

ITALY AT WAR WILL
BOOM LEMON EXPORTS
Outlet to Russia for Fruit Cut
OFF and u. 8. Will Get
Bulk Of Crop.

Ever since the declaration Of war by
Italy, importers Of lemons in this city
have wondered what effect II would have
upon the annual arrivals from that ma
ton. For more than twenty-five years
Italy has furnished the bulk OF lemons
for the United States and Canada. As
many as 5000. 900 boxes have come in
n year. and at an average of SO a
box from first hands this equals
$4,000. 900.
Interviews with the leading receivers
show that the war is expected to send
more lemons here than during peace
times. This is accounted for by the fact
that before war was declared Italy had
n large outlet for lemons to Russia
through Austria. That outlet has now
been cut Off and Italy has no other i'm
portant nation than h United States
to take its lemons. The average re-
ceipts here per season. which Ii from
November to November, are about
2.225,o00 boxes. In ordinary times about
half these lemons come by what Is
known as tramp steamers which re-
quire about twenty days for the trip.
Since May I this year there have been
received 63s.5OO boxes, and there are
aioat. to he landed before June 7,
321 800 boxes more. Last year was n
heavy q In lemon receipts, the total
being 1921 100 boxes, running Tar above
the average.

MORE CANADIAN GOLD HERE.
j.. r. Morgan 4 Go. Receive a2,-
7:5,OOO 70 Pay for Supplies.

The inflow of gold to this country
from Canada continued yesterday, when
s2.725,00o arrived at the Sub-Treasury
for J. p. Morgan & Co. for the ac-
count OF the British Government. The
gold Is being brought in as a simple
transaction for the settlement OF the
debt OF Great Britain In the purchase
OF supplies. just "a the export OF gold
from this country last fan was made
In payment of the Indebtedness of the
United States to Europe.
The idea put forward in some quar-
ters that Great Britain and the Morgan
firm had arranged to bring in the gold
secretly In order to save Great Britain's
financial face in giving the exchange
market an appearance of greater
strength than II really had was ridiculed
as AN attempt TO throw mystery about
something that was a very simple trans
action. The gold, II is said. acts az
a reserve against payments which the
Morgan Arm Is making for the account
of the British Government on purchases
OF war munitions.
Foreign exchange was steady and
dull yesterday. Closing quotations were 4:

the solicitor intends to do with these
a~ffidavits. II he has them. no one seems
to know.
The change of sentiment in Franks
favor since the United States Supreme
Court decided that there was no legal
reason for annulling the verdict OF the
Georgia courts has been most remark
able. hat decision brought the people
face to face with the fact that Frank.
80 far as the courts were concerned, was
ir~retrievably doomed.
This put them to studying the EVIL
dencc against him and the circum-
stances that attended his trial. md the
more they studied the stronger grew
the feeling that there was grave dan
ger OF hanging a man who might be In.
nocent. Then, too. the United States
Supreme Court decision was taken AS
indicating the Georgia courts from the
charge that thew had been dominated
by the mob spirit. and as the anger
caused by that charge lesscned the ami
mostly against Frank also decreased.
As a result thousands Of Georgians who
have been bitter against Frank are now
pe%titioning the commission and the Gov
ernor to show clemcncy.
Despite tho change of sentiment in
Franks favor there In an element In
Georgia which 10 insisting on the carry

this element.
Ex-Gov. Joseph T.. Brown agrees with
Watson and has recently written n let

represent only a small class and 1t Is be-
lieved that their talk will have little in

that he was unjustly convicted ~ the

on Monday In the Capitol before t,e
Georgia Prison Commission.
Frank. his attorneys and his fiends
are entirely optimistic as to the outcome
OF the hearing on the petition for COM
mutation OF the death sentence to one o:
life Imprisonment. They base their
optimism on what they believe to be .
marked change in Georgia sentiment d"
Franks favor. This change mas re.
suited from the almost daily discussion
OF the case which has gone on N the

Gossip at the Capitol is that certainly
two OF the commissioners will favor
communication and probably all three. In
fact IL is credibly stated that two of
the commissioners who have closely fol-
bowed the case from the beginning and
who attended Franks trial expressed
themselves soon after the conviction
that the verdict ought not TO he carried

Frank Has u Good Lawyer.
w. NJ. Howard. an ex-Representa-
tive and one of the best known lawyers
In the state. has been engaged to pre-
sent Franks petition for Communication
TO the State Prison Commission and the
Governor. Mr.. Howsrd for twelve wears
represented the Eighth district in Con-
press. his home then being at Lexington.
Upon his retirement from Congress he
moved TO augusta and formed "A law
partnership with Enoch H.. Galloway.
Previous to his election Mr.. Howard for
twelve years was Solicitor-Genera OF
the northern circuit.
Mr.. Howard has made n thorough
study of the whole case, going back to
the scene of the crime at the pencil
factory and coming through Franks
trial and his subsequent appeals to the
courts. Mr.. Howard Is confident that
Frank will obtain communication and
that the people of Georgia will approve
the finding.
A week may be consumed in the
hearing. as it is the purpose OF the
commission TO go thoroughly into the
case. Nothing sensational is expected
At the hearing except the possible pro-
duction OF a letter in reference To the
case said to have been written by the
late Judge Roam, who presided at
Franks trial.
Judge Roam, refusing Frank a new
trial, declared that he did not know
whether the prisoner was guilty or In
nocent, but said that he vas not the
one to he convinced. 1t being a matter
for the jury, and as the jury was con-
WINGED he therefore refused "A new
trial. II IL said that the Frank case
preyed on Judge Roan's mind that
before his death he wrote a letter ex-
pressing the opinion that Frank ought
not to be executed, and that If he
(Roan) were living when the case
reaced the Prison Commission he would
appeal before that body AMI plead for
pardon or communication. Ii is reported
that Franks lawyers have this letter.
Much curiosity is expressed as to
whether or not Solicitor-General Hugh
Dorsey, who prosecuted Frank, will APP
year before the commission and oppose
the plea for clemency. II he does APP
pear II will be something he has never
done before.
