early morning hours thinned quickly,
and by noon only an occasional small
knot of people discussing the lyncning
was to be found.
The scene of the hanging was within
200 feet of the roadway and within a
few hundred yards of two farm houses
Occupants of both said they had no
ticed nothing unusual during the early
morning hours. However, William J.
Frey, a former sheriff, in whose woods
Frank was hanged, living half mile
further east, said four automobiles
passed his house shortly before Z
o'clock this morning, each containing
six or seven men.
Never Thought Of Lynehlng.
'eI paid no particular attention to
them," Mr.. Frey added, ''and the posi-
biliby of lynching did not occur to
me-
After t1e disposal of the body off,
cials turned their attention to an in
Yestigation OF the crime. Coroner
Booth empanelled jury and announc-
ed that Cobb county commissioners at
called meeting short time previous
had empowered him to hire special
attorney for the inquiry. Two wit
nesses testified as to the identity OF
Frank as tae man lynched. An ad-
journment then was taken for week
to allow time for Sheriff Hicks and
other officers to collect evidence.
No sympathy for Frank was heard
from any of the hundreds that packed
the streets here and viewed tie body
as it hung suspended.
"I hate to hear of people being
lynched,' said one woman, "but this
this is different. 1 think it is the JUS
tice of God"
Similar sentiments were expressed
by scores of others. The women as a
rule, however, were more free to make
public their feelings than the men.
I, Only One Changed Course.
It became fairly well established to-
night that only one automobile that
left Milledgeyille with Frank contin-
ued for any considerable distance to-
ward Eatonton. This machine was
fitted with chains on the tires and was
easily traced. The men in this auto
mobile did a great deal of shooting at
bridge over Little river, near Eaton
ton, which led to reports that Frank
had been killed there. Then, it is be-
1ieved, they took a shorter course to
the road traversed by their companions
and joined them in the trip here.
Another evidence of the care with
which the raid was planned was shown
when it was ascertained that gasoline
in tanks of automobiles used by off,
cials at the prison farm were emptied
before the gang made the rush for
Frank.

The Canadian troops showed superla-

could possibly be done to save their army
from disaster.
French and Belgians gave way, unable

but our neighbors from across the river

LIES in the United States are working

doing more TO produce the right sort OF

Thank God! mothers have not struck,

take them by and large they have any
other set of educators beat four ways.
Fathers are also on the job. They are
maintaining HOMES, which beat any
kind of asylums. schools or other child

And brothers and sisters are still join

Why a Temporary Bridge?
Why Not Save 100000?


The common council and board Of
estimates have appropriated $4,000 for
a temporary bridge to Belle Isle.
It will take three or four months to
build this bridge, and il cannot be COM
pleted until the summer is nearly over.
Meanwhile, people who want to cross
to the island viii use the ferries.
Belle Isle is very popular until school
begins in September, and after that date
the crowds diminish.
The temporary structure which is
planned would be available, in all hkeli-
hood, about the time that school opens.
It's use during the present season can
be comparatively slight.
A permanent bridge can be built
within two years.
If work were started within the next
few months, it could probably be ready
for traffic in the spring of 1917.
The. problem before the city is, there
fore, this:
is IT WORTH WHILE TO SPEND
$4,000 FOR A STRUCTURE WHICH
is NECESSARY FOR BUT ONE SUM-
MER AND TWO WINTERS?
Furthermore, no one has estimated
what it win cost to remove the tenn
porary bridge.
Engineers say that it IS as much of a
Job to remove such timber structure as
II Is to build it.
Hence the city would be saddlei " II
another expense, which would probas..y.
not be made up to any extent by the
salvage.
The ferry company has always given
excellent service to the island at most
reasonable rate of fare, and has shown
its goodwill by putting boats on the run
ut once, though its season does not
usually begin much before the end OF
May.
Can't we use the boats to reach Belle
Isle, as long as navigation is open, and
do without our park in the winter, until
the new bridge is built?
With the ferry company operating its
boats from Woodward and Joseph Cam
pau-aves., and private lines operating
from up-river points. it seems as il
everyone who wants to go to the island
during the warm months ought to be
able to get there without discomfort.
It is true that the island would be
closed to automobiles, but there are
plenty of other places where the ma
chimes can go.
Before any rash expenditure is made,
or hasty contract entered into, the prob
lem should be considered in all its
aspects, and the people Of Detroit should
be given an opportunity to tell the COM
mon council what it thinks of the neces-
sity for such large expense as $4,000
for makeshift improvement.
