ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. 1S.-Gov.
Harris will take personal charge Of
the investigation into all the cir
cumstances Of the Frank lynching.
1t was announced today al the exec-
utive Offices here.
The governor was understood to
be far from satisfied with the expla-
nation given by members Of the
state prison board and officials at
the Milledgeville prison farm that
the farm warden. superintendent
and their guards were so Ill prepar.
ed that they were powerless to re-
sist the lynchers. He was quoted
as saying that, in view Of repeated
threats that the place would be
raided and Frank taken from his
custodians and lynched, all prepare.
tions ought to have been made and
the lack OF them was objectionable.
The executive was also under
stood to be much incensed at the
weakness of the Atlanta police In
yielding to the demand OF the throng
in Atlanta that they be permitted to
view the body and exposing IL for
thousands TO see in a local under
taking establishment.
There is. of course, an element
throughout the state which con-
dones the lynching, but the better
class OF people are open In the ex-
preston of their opinion. not only
that the affair was frightful out
rage. but that the authorities, wher-
ever they figured In the case. made
an abominable showing. Judge Nor
ris. OF Marietta, who saved Franks
body from mutilation and succeeded
In getting II to Atlanta, was practi-
cally the only person spoken of as
having behaved creditably In con-
nection with the incident

today for burial.

New York leaders of Ford peace par

plans for a peace congress Of neu-
trails.
The expedition has reached its first
neutral country and it's reception has
lacked warmth, if it has not been
hostile. Unfriendly attitude of Nor
wegian press has convinced peace
chiefs that their plans to bring boys
out of trenches will encounter rough
shedding among European neutrals.
Judge Ben B. Lindsey of Denver
advised Ford to abandon peace mis-
sion altogether Lindsey is convinced
that peace efforts will be hopeless and
he begged Ford to change his plans
and turn the enterprise into one for
finding homes for war orphans. Ford
refused to consider the suggestion.
