FRANK NOT YET SURE TO
HANG FOR PHACAR MURDER

Atlanta, Ga.-The hearing OF
Leo M. Franks application for
communication Of sentence from
death to life imprisonment which
began before the state prison COM
mission here this morning was
completed late today 1t IL expect
ed that the commissions recon-
mendation will be transmitted
within ten days to the governor
who then will take final action in
the case. No one appeared to ar
que in opposition to Franks ap-
plication.
The principal features of 'today's
proceedings were a letter written
a few months before his death by
Judge L. S. Roam, who presided at
Franks trial in which he sought
clemency for the prisoner and a
statement by Mrs. Frank describ-
ing her husbands actions on the
night following Mary Phagan's
murder denying rumors of an es-
arrangement between herself and
Frank.
Judge Roam in his. letter stated
that at tie proper time be would

diers would NOPE without their goose.

the war in Canada 1t was found

Many Of the British army mascots
have been troublesome as well as odd.

are far more docile than the gorilla Of
the Fourteenth hussars or even the
little monkey Of the Derbyshires.
But perhaps the strangest mascot Of
all is Jimmy Durham, the pet and ter
ror Of the Second Durhams. Jimmy Is
a Sudanese negro. He was found by
the regiment. a baby on the field Of
Omdurman lying beside a dead man
and a wounded donkey. The men
reared him themselves. and now he is
so active a temperance worker that
not a man in the Durhams would OBJ

Mascots are just as popular in the
British navy. and also in the services
Of France. Russia and Germany. The
men need pets II only to break the
monotony.
Oddly enough. the pig In a very COM
mon pet with sailors. The reason is
that. contrary to what may be the COM
mon opinion, the porker IL q merry lit
tie beggar and affords the men real
sport. Such mascots are on several of
the big warships bombarding the OAR
danelles. The German commerce raid
ers now interned at Norfolk also had
pigs as mascots.
In the United States navy many mas
cots have been famous. There was
Admiral Dewey's chow Bob; also Cap
tain Sigsbee's little Peggy. which sur
vived the sinking Of the Maine. There
was Mike. the educated West Indian
goat Of the Kearsarge. which preferred
the cans to the canned food and was
admired by the kaiser in the visit to
Kiel. and there was Cussing Jim. the
parrot that went to Kiel on the Ma
chias and then had to be gagged lest
he said things to the emperor: also
there was the famous old goat Of the
New York. which would eat anything
from green paint to piano keys and
when mad would butt funnel or even
a thirteen inch gun.
The Wisconsin at one time delighted
In a kangaroo and later had a real

to be nice. so were ordered by court
martial to serve the rest OF their terms
In a ZOO. All the old navy mascots
were regularly enlisted into the serv-
ice and entered on the books of the
ship. This was a precaution to enable
the pets to be recovered should they
stray or be stolen. but In recent years

Emperor Francis Joseph was still
worse off, for he could count on only
%. 900, but worst off Of all was the
car, who most needed them. In Rus
STA there were not more than about
10 900 autos.
To enumerate all the uses motors
have been put to in the war would be
almost impossible. They are nearly as
innumerable as the forms they have
taken Between drawing big guns and
rescuing the wounded they are doing
nearly everything. inhuman and hu-
name The outlines of many OF the
machines are so weird they seem more
like dreams from ogreland than real
things.
One Of the most notable machines on
the humane side is the X ray car de-

ment and is used close to the firing
line. Numbers Of lives have been saved
by the rapid work it makes possible.
But perhaps the strangest use to
which the motor has been put Is that
Of extracting bullets. pieces Of shrap-
mel and other steel fragments from
wounds. In one form of French car the
motor is made to drive a dynamo
which keeps an electro magnet highly
charged. This magnet placed over the
wound at once draws out every par
ticle Of steel which might. II left in. set
up blood poisoning.
Another remarkable device Is that on

ever since, and the belief Is that the

| Mascots are officially taboo in the
army and navy Of the United States.
but in Great Britain they are officially
recognized and even supplied by the
most exalted personages. In the Brit
ish army particularly the mems mas
cots figure on the regimental scrolls
and are decorated even as humans
when they show unusual bravery.
Absurd as it may appear. all the
British regiments now fighting in Eu-
rope have their mascots with them.
The big white goose Of the grenadiers.
the old white goat Of the Welsh fusi-
leers. the donkey Of the Innskillings
and the ram Of the Sherwood foresters
have learned the horrors Of life in the
trenches. So have the deer of the Royal
Scots and the Seaforth Highlanders,
Just as have the pet dogs Of many regi-
ments.
The practice IL nothing like so fool
ish as 1t may look. The comfort their
pets give to the men Is unreasonable.
Their psychological effect is invaluable.
In times when there is only too grave
peril Of men becoming mere savages
as the war has shown. the presence Of
their dumb pets keeps alive the hu-
manity Of the men by giving II the op-
portunity Of exercise.
Many Of the British army mascots
are famous. The first old Billy Of the
Welsh fusileers. a gift Of Queen Vic
toria. was under the walls Of Sebasto-
pol in the Crimea. When he died OF
old age the queen presented the regi-
ment with another with enormous
horns that were tipped with silver.
This goat went through the Boer war
and afterward wore a silver breast
plate presented to II by the city Of
Lichffeld. The goat now at the front
was gift Of King Edward.

the 3.26S mules required to supply a
division cost s24.941 a month. whereas
gasoline for the S07 autos, which would
have been sufficient. would have cost
sl2.l05 a month. On the march the
autos would have taken up 1882 yards
less space than the mule trains.

years. For fast passenger cars the
