Letter From Coroner.

4 surprising turn was taken In the
hearing when a letter recommending
Communication for Frank was read from
Coroner Paul Donehoo. under whose
supervision the Coroner's fury In the
early stages OF the Frank case had
rananded him to prison to await action
from the Grand jury. Coroner Donehoo
wrote:
II am not convinced Of Franks guilt"
1ix-Congressman Howard summed UP
briefly for Frank, saying in part:
This case has not a parallel In
judicial annals OF this State. Conley
has been believed rather than US, and
we have been doubted. That In the
sum OF the entire case. Never in the
history of this State has there been
an instance where n low, vicious negro
has been believed against the character
and testimony OF exemplary whites.
And II Is the instinct hat revolts
against just such circumstances that
has brought the wealth OF character 10
our aid from communities all over the
nation. 1t Is an American instinct that
rebels against such horror and the
possibility Of even a greater horror that
we humbly ask you to intercept"

cuted Frank, was not present at the
hearing. nor was he represented.

BY JAMES O'DEA.


In both the Mcfarland and Glib
bons camps the chief talks these days
is about poundage. The followers OF
the scientific stockyards marvel con-
tend that at las pounds, the weight
agreed upon in the contract that
calls for a ten-round battle within a
few weeks, Gibbons will be greatly
weakened. To offset this argument,
Gibbons followers today pointed out
to their favorite's knockout of Young
Ahearn and to the fight in which he
handed a sleep wallop to Young Mike
Donovan, Gibbons weighed in at las
just before each of these scraps. He
also weighed las when he dropped
Wildcat Ferns for the count.
The Gibbons followers frankly ad-
NIT Packey's prowess and skill, but
there enters into the argument the old
question of what the cleverest can
and cannot do after the long absence
that Mcfarland has had from the
ring.
However, much as the fighters and
their managers may differ in regard
to the outcome of the battle, they
agree on one important matter. That
is the size of the purse. Bidding be-
tween Milwaukee and New York

This is not startling for germs are
just like whole lot of people. They
all like girls. However, the state of
Minneota has completed an investi-

Of Minnesota, and they have found
that germs infest the average little

To Use More Troops.

The whole effect of the German
victory is thus entirely local. 1t will
compel the British to use more troops
to defend the outskirts of Ypres, but
will have no influence on the battle-
line as a whole. Like all the other
engagements in France and Belgium
since the present battleline5 was
formed, the German advance across
the Ypres canal is a minor skirmish
as far as it's general effect is con-
cerned. Indeed; the fact that the
Germans were able to push into the
British line after the arrival of 1907
900 troops at the front emphasizes
the existence of a counter-offensive
among the Germans which must be
a very important factor in breaking
the present deadlock. -. -
1t is not at all probable that the
German advance signifies of a new
effort to reach Calais. It might as
we'll have been assumed that the
British offensive at Neuve Chapelle
marked the beginning of an attempt
to reach the Rhine. The Germans
have doubtless been waiting since
