LANSING MAY GET
HIGH BALL PARK
Owner MorriSSey Says in Case
He is Unable to Get Grounds
He viii Place a Team at Mt.
Clemens.

LANSING. Mich, Feb 27.-Owner
Jack Morrissey has a deal pending
with the local board of education to
rent the new high school athletic
field. Indications are that lease for
the park viii be given the Lansing
owner this week
Owner MOrriSsey stated today that
in the event he failed to obtain the
high school field he would again have
team at Mt Clemens, where the Ian
sing club finished the 1914 schedule
after a disastrous half season in this
city. The Bath City is a fair town TO
finish a season but q poor place TO
start one as it is primarily a resort
and the baseball fans do not arrive
until July
That Lansing viii give support to
good club this year is the concensus
of opinion. Local business men last
season made a futile attempt TO keep
the team here, but baseball was APP
parently dead in the town. After the
club was moved TO Mt. Clemens a
factory league was organized and it
did considerable TO create enthusiasm
for the national pastime.
Would Have Downtown Park.
If Morrissey is successful in leasing
the high school athletic field il viii
give this city and the Southern Mich
igan circuit another downtown park.
The park used last year, which was
within three blocks of the business
section has been dismantled. The
state owns the ground and Will likely
erect in the near future a building
for state offices upon il. The new
high school park is located within
eight blocks of the business section
in the factory district and within
eight blocks of the business section.
a street car line passes the park.
With three exceptions MOrrisSey
will have his 1914 team in the field
this year. He sold Outfielders Helmar
and Spencer 10 the Denver club of the
Western league and released Kelley,
third baseman. Kelley was laid up at
the end Of the season from being hit
in the Jaw with a pitched ball. The
Jaw was fractured and Morrissey fig
ures that Kelley. always an uncer-
tain quality, Will be shy With the
stick this year.
Strong Staff Is Prospect.
Morrissey should have a strong
hurting staff with Duffy, Carpenter
and Bravener. right and
Ralph Dodge. former Michigan Agile
hurler. as his portside hurler. Braven-
or and Dodge played their first league
bali last season. Their work COM

cepted as true the statements made in 50
many of the papers.
If Mr.. Bowen gets to reading Golfers and
Pach, he will feel like taking the first train
and coming to Georgia to lynch somebody
At this point, I will briefly say again, that
Frank was not convicted on the evidence Of
negro.
In the first place, it seems to be the unwrit-
ten law, that no white person is to be hanged
on negro testimony. The law is not confined
to any section of our Union. It is common
to the white race.
For example, when William J. Burns-af-
ter his complete fall-down in the Frank case
tried to convict the Northern white lady,
Mrs. Carman, on the evidence of the negro
woman, Coleman, he failed. If the Northern
jury had taken the black woman's testimony,
as Burns wanted them to do, the white lady
would have been convicted.

No other church prosecutes people for pub
fishing extracts from its own theological
books.
No other church claims the right to lock up
$4,000 American girls and women, and to
hand the keys to a lot of coarse-lipped
bachelors.
No other church claims the right to compel
judges of juvenile courts to surrender to the
slave pens of this church the boys and girls
of non Catholics.
No other church is making war on our con-
stitutional rights.
No other church is compelling Congressman
to c50zate their 0aths Of office, by trying to
undermine the Constitution of the United
States.
Fitzgerald of New York. and Gallivan of
Massachusetts, solemnly swore to support the
Constitution, and they are trying to destroy
it,
They are both Knights of Columbus, and
they are betraying their country to this for
eigner, the italian Pope.
These Knights of Columbus have been
mobbing Protestant speakers all over the
country.
They attacked and wrecked a Baptist
church in Carbonate, Pennsylvania
They kidnapped and<nearly murdered Rev.
Otis L. Sturgeon, in Denver, Colorado.
And now they haze murdered the e1- priest
IWilliamo BlGck, an Marshall, Teas.

Another reason why the jury did not con-
Wet Frank on Conley's evidence is, that the
Tar does not dll0a0 1t.
BY his own statement, Conley was Franks
accomplice, and no accomplice is competent
to convict another.
OF course Mr. Bowen does not know this,
and the pretended lawyers, like Connolly and
Thomson, who write about the case, are not
honest enough to tell the people what is the
real truth about the law of Georgia and the
conviction of Leo Frank
The great Atlanta dailies might set atlanta
right, on this matter which is COM
promising the good name Of the aohoZe State;
but the Atlanta dailies either do not know
the law, and do not know what evidence is
in the official record, or they have some mo-
tive sufficient unto themselves to coerce them
into bending their heads to this nation wide
tempest of misrepresentation, fabrication, and
violent abuse.
Mr.. Bowen, and others who have been mis-
led will be astonished when they learn from
the official record, (agreed to by the lawyers
on both sides,) that the Negroes evidence is
not necessary to the conviction of Frank, and
that no Atlanta detective or poIice-oficer is
necessary to it, and that Franks guilt can be
demonstrated from the evidence of his own
white employees, his own detective, his own
statement, and the undi&putcd physical facts.
Let us dismiss from our minds all talk
about the Jews, and the mobs, and the Gro
man holiday" the "jungle fury" and the

A DEMONSTRATION OF THE GUILT OF LEO FRANK

AARON BURR used to define Ian as being
whatever is boldly asserted and plausibly
maintained
That cynical theory Of morals and rights
sunk to the lowest depths one Of the ablest
men this country ever produced.
On the same general idea, the Strausses,
the Haases, the Ochses, the Abells, the Pulit-
zers, the Benjamins, and the William j.
Burnses, are spreading the bold fictions of
the Frank propaganda.
They invent state of facts, suppress the
actual facts and build plausible argument
upon impudent fabrications.
Even the agricultural press has been in
weighed For instance, the following sentence
occurs in a recent issue Of Farmers Fireside
Bulletin:
Eet every reader of Farmers Fireside Bulletin
Immediately write to the Governor Of Georgia
urging him to at least commute Leo Franks
sentence to life sentence instead of hanging
There is more than doubt of his guilt only
brutal, 1ustful, drunken negros testimony con-
victed Frank-when all testimony pointed to this
negro-until doctored by Atlanta detectives
whose very positions, if not safety, had been
threatened unless they convicted Frank. No
but Frank would do-he was a despised Jew

KNIGHTS COLUAlBUs ARE LIVING UP no TEIEIR OATH

EVERY Roman Catholic, on becoming
- priest, is required to take an oath Of allie
glance to foreigner-the Italian Pope-a
to persecute Protestants.
Every Roman Catholic priest, on becoming
bishop, is required to renew his oath to this
foreigner, and also to swear that he will do
his utmost to eXterminate Protestants.
Every bishop on becoming an archbishop,
and every archbishop on becoming a cardinal,
is required to renew his oath Of allegiance to
this foreigner, and to swear that he will do
all in his power to extirpate Protestants.
The words, 'persecute to the utmost" and
"extirpate," are in that connection equivalent
to the word, MURDER
The 4th degree Knights of Columbus con-
stitute the American army of this foreigner,
the Pope of Rome
Archbishop Quigey of Chicago openly and
publicly boosted that these military organiza-
lions of the Italian Pope were armed and
ready to obey orders from the Roman HER
archy.
No other church arrogates to itself the
right to have military forces.
No other church boasts of it's devotion and
obedience to foreigner
No other church swears it's ministers to
obey a foreigner.
No other church claims the right to COM
pei American citizens to defy and disobey
the laws of America, on the subjects Of mar

Thus do the Knights of Columbus keep
their terrible oath
They deny taking such an oath, But
THEIR ACTS PROVE THAT THEY DO!
Why did the knights of Columbus prose

Because [ published some truth on this
foreign church, quoting that truth from one
of its own "religious" works.
Why did the Knights of Columbus kidnap

Because he was telling some truth on this
horrible foreign church.
Why did they invade William Blacks room
IN Texas and shoot him to death!
Because he was telling some truth on this
italian church which has been curse to every
country that fell under its sway
And yet these American traitors-sworn

Willoughby, respectively. Pretty Nell
Jones, a light-fngered maid. is engage
ed that afternoon by Mrs. Carr after
promising her sweetheart, Jack Doo-

to do one last job. Peculiar and mys-
terious things begin to happen in the
Carr home with the arrival or the
happy bridegrooms-to-be.
A ruby suddenly disappears from

Nell and Cluney telephones for
a detective. While he is in the act of
'phoning, Nell slips the jewel back
into the box where it is discovered by
Mr.. Carr just as Quincy lays down the
phone. Cluney is stunned by The dis
and confides in DR.. Willoughby,
who unsympathetically informs Clun-
ey that he evidently suffers from I'M
conscious kleptomania.
The situation is further complicated
by the arrival of Nell's sweetheart,
Jack. whom she tells of the expected
detective. This dignitary is met by
Nell who, after deity stripping him of
star and watch, introduces him to
Jack as Mr. Cluney. Jack sends him
away on a mysterious mission and Nell

suspects himself of being a kleptoma-
