CITY ABATTOIR IS
 HEAP OF JUNK SAYS
 BOARD OF HEALTH
One Member Hopes Spark From Garbage Plant Will
 Remove SIaughterhouse.

Hope was expressed last evening at the meeting of the board of health that a spark from Charles c. Fischers gar bage plant will burn Bridgeports s sIaughterhouse
 The board of health doesn't think much of the s1auEh ternouse. Don't t mention anything about that junk heap,s declared one of the members when reference was made to the city abattoir. Nothing more was said.
 Several hearings on sewer connec- tfons were heard at the meeting dur ing the early hours of the session, as well as a long discussion over a new system of card -indexing which will not be installed until additional help may be procured in the department.
 Arthur E. Kelsey of Wayne street appeared before the board in an effort to procure an injunction against the < Simpson, house on Wayne street, now vacated by order of the city pros-f ecutor from again being occupied until made. Though he argued heatedIy that this injunction should be Issued. and alleged that he had borne with the nuisance for seven months while the board and the city prosecutor had at tempted to ascertain the ownership of the house, the board put the matter up directly to the city prosecutor on. the ground that it had been in is hands, and that as long as the nut- sanee had been technically abated, they could not act until further nui- Sance had been created.

THE PTERoTYPE.

The first really practical type writer was inspired. although not in vented. by John Pratt, an Alabama Journalist, who was born eighty-folrr years ago today, April fl, 1881. Pratt invented a crude writing ma chine which he called the sPtero- types which was patented in the United States and Great Britain and attracted much favorable comment when exhibited at the Royal Society in London. An account of this ma chine written by A. Ely Beach, was published in the Scientific Am erfcan. and attracted the attention of G. L.. Sholes, a. Milwaukee inventor ShoIes was fired with the ambition to per- feet a really practical writing ma chine, and, with two other Mi1wal1- kee men. s. w. Soufe and Carlos Glidden, they set to work on the task. They knew nothing of what had been attempted in that line, except the de- scription of Pratt's imperfect ma chine. In 1867 they completed a machine which wrote fairly well, but yet was not good enough to place on the market Soule and GIiddei1 drop ped out and Sho1es formed a part nership with James Densmore, a printer of Meadville, Pa Within a few years they had produced a mar ketable machine

 Oregon a Toy in Comparison.
 Compared to the Arizona the old bat tleslip of the Oregon class are almost like toys. The new ship could engage a fleet of three of them at the same time, turning upon each as many guns. as it could bring to bear and her guns would be bigger and of longer range. In addition she could steam away from them or overtake them at pleasure de veloping 21 knots against their 16 to r. The remarkable thing about the great increase in size and gun power, however, is that each of the smaller ships would need as many or more men than the Arizona which will carry a complement of 915 in her crew
 The new sea fortress as she took the water today cost more than $7,000,000. That was for hull and machinery alone. The guns and ar nor will cost as much more and other equipment necessary to fit her for duty will add another million to her total cost. She is longer and wider than any but the newest transatlantic liners. If it is desired to put her through the Panama canal the locks and bends in the channel will be taxed almost to the limit to give her passage way.
 The Arizona is the fourth battleship to be built in a government yard and her place on the ways will be taken at once by the California, a larger and faster but similarly armed ship.

tion. Lee subsequently was released. Sixteen days later "Jim' ConleY, negro sweeper at the factory, made a confession to the police in which he accused Frank of having killed the Phagan girl, and declared he had dis posed of the body. Conley, who was one of the chief witnesses for the state at Franks trial, was convicted as an accessory after the murder in February, 1912 and sentenced to one y oars L1rrisonment He began his term last July.
 Frank was placed on trial in the superior court July 2S tn, 1913, Judge L. s. Roan presiding. Judge Roan- d.ed March 23, 1915, in New York. A verdict of guilty was returned Aug ust %, Frank being sentenced U death. In Lis statement to the jury at the close of his trial Frank said lie had seen Mary Phagan in his office in the factory, few minutes before the time the state contended she was murdered; that he paid the girl her wages and that she left his office. The theory of the defense has been that Conley, who was about the build ing when the girl entered, and who icad been drinking, attacked and kill ed the girl after she left Franks ot- fee.
 In October, 1913, Franks attorneys iled a motion for a new trial, alleg- of mony and conduct of the trial, and also charging that demonstrations by the crowd within and outside the court room during the trial had in terfered with a fair verdict. Judge Roan denied the motion and the Georgia supreme court affirmed his action February IT, 1914. A motion for rehearing of the appeal was de- nied by the state supreme court two weeks later.
 An extraordinary motion for new trial and a motion to set aside the verdict were filed simultaneously in superior court, April 16, 1914. Among the grounds alleged in the motion for a new trial was that Of newly dis covered evidence. The motion to set aside the verdict was based on the ground that Franks constitutional rights had been violated by the trial court. His attorneys alleged that Frank had not been given a fair trial because of the spirit of mob violence that pervaded the court room," and also that his constitutional rights had been violated because Frank and his attorneys had been absent from the court room, without Franks consent,
 when the verdict was returned. This

HOW LEO. M. FRANK MADE FIGHT
 FOR LIFE
Unceasing Efforts in Behalf of AL Ieged Murderer of Mary Phagan.

, WASHINGTON, June 22.-Leo. M. Franks legal fight for life has taken a place among the celebrated murder Gases of recent years. SeYcn times since his conviction in August, 1913, 7the lower and supreme courts of the State of Georgia refused to grant Frank a new trial or to set aside the verdict; three times the sentence of death was passed upon him and twice appeals were made to the Unit ed States supreme court.
 The murder of fourteen-year-old Mary Phagan, a factory emp oye, Of Atlanta, Georgia, which St first &p- peared to be a crime of only local importance, eventually developed into a case of nationwide interest. This was due in large part to the efforts ot Frank and his friends to obtain for him new trial or annulment ot the verdict. Added interest in Atlanta was given the case because Of It's having been brought into municipal political controversy, which involved attacks on that city's police and de- tective departments and wrangleS among factions in the ely admins tration.
 Soon after the trial ended the case came in for agitation which spread all ever the country.
 Mary Phagan was murdered April z6. 1913, on a southern holiday in ob- seryance of Confederate memorial day. Shortly afternoon of that day she was seen to enter the pencil fac tory.in Atlanta, where she had been employed and where she went to op- tain wages due her. Her body was found next morning in the basement of the factory, with Q cord tied about the neck.
