in his appeal to Gov. Slaton-
WY only right IN addressing you is, that
oo0n some little stocb In a geg,y successful
conapaaey doing business an the State Of Geor-
gia."
1t the Governor Of Massachusetts, had be-
fore him a case Of murder, and a man living
IN Georgia should be guilty of trying to in
termeddle. and dictate, it would probably
strike the Northern governor as highly i'm
proper for the Georgian to give as his excuse
the fact that he owned stock in a Massachu-
sets corporation
Mr.. u. 4. Rosser telegraphed to a Northern
newspaper last week long statement in
which he says
Leo M. Frank is an educated, intelligent, nor
mai man of a retiring home making, home loving
nature. He has lived clean honest busy unos-
tentatious life, known by few outside of his own
people. In the absence of the testimony of the
negro, Jim Conley, verdict of acquittal would
have been inevitable.
Mr.. Rosser, if you believed that Leo Frank
was the pure young man and model husband,
why did you sit silent while twenty white
girls and ladies swore to his lascivious char
acter?
Mr.. Rosser, why were you and Rube Arm
old and the Haas brothers AFRAID to ask those
echit6twoneem a single question?
You knew very well what would come out,
and knew that if you asked those women
qchat they h1aeeo on Frank. you would make
matters worse for this embodiment of diseased
lust and this typical man of tie double life.
Do you suppose that any power on earth
could have produced twenty white women Of
Atlanta who would have sworn that DIR.
John e. Whites character is lascivious? Or
that Judge Evans character is lascivious?
Or that Governor Slaton's character is lasci-
vlous?
Why did you not put into your telegram
another piece of information about the Frank
case? Why didn't you tell the Northern peo-
pie that you yourself practically wrote out
that affidavit for poor old Ragsdale when he
was trying to earn 5000 of Leo Frank money
by swearing to an absurd fiction, whose pur-
pose was to lift this awful crime off Of Frank
and to put it on the negro?
You did not prepare that ridiculous and
most criminal affidavit in your office, until af-
ter William r. Burns had rooted around all
over the North, hunting for Hebrew shekels,
and for the criminal who "is still at large"
It was after Burns had made miserable
failure III locating the criminal "Who has
never been suspected and who is still at large"
that you and he decided to lay the whole
crime on Conley
Ind then 1t 40as, NOT BEFORE, that the
defense mo7e desperate and criminal efforts TO
change the testimony Of the qo7eite a0jtnesses.
You hneao that the case did not rest on
Conley's evidence.
You zmeqo it was the testimony of the white
witnesses that demonstrated Franks guilt.
You knew that Monteen Slower was the
girl whose visit to Franks office, at the time
Of the crinae and whose mistaken testimony
that he was not there q0hen he said he qoaS,
constituted the fatality of your case.
That's why Burns made such unheard Of

the ground that his lawyer was out of the
city.
No innocent white man was ever afraid to
face guilty negro, when the negro was say
ing that the white man committed the crime.
Gut OF the numerous letters which have
been written to me by persons who attended
the trial OF Leo Frank, and who are men of
the highest character-not semibarous, nor
fanatical, nor Jew baiters,-T select one writ
ten by member of the Faculty Of one of our
Theological Seminaries, gentleman who had
no feeling whatever in the case save that Of a
citizen who believes in the law and in the
administration of justice
L quote what he says that he ka20ac8 about
the actual conduct of the trial:
u studied the case, at advantage before
the trial and attended the trial through The
jury was one of the best and best behaved I
ever saw. The advantage was constantly
given to Franks side. All that about mob
outside or In the courtroom is pure rot. The
man is just what you call him.
This is the private testimonial to me Of a
high minded Christian gentleman who at
tended the trial all through.
Whom will you believe?
VIII we take the evidence Of an impartial
actual observer who was present, or will you
believe men thousand miles away, who have
taken their views of the case from rotten
detectives and from subsidized newspapers?
It should be understood that if the Supreme
Court of the United States annuls the trial
and sentence Of Frank, he goes free.
He cannot be tried again.
The case is now entirely different from a
motion for new trial, and decision in
Franks favor would operate to turn him
loose.

LOCAL WOMEN
Are HONORED
BY LIBRARIANS

At the annual meeting of the Okla
homa Library association, held in Ok
Iahoma City and adjourning Thursday
afternoon, Miss Elizabeth Rule, librar
IAN Of the Oklahoma College for Wo.
men, was elected as second vice pres
ident and Mrs. ]. A. Thompson. city
librarian here, was selected to repre-
sent the association as delegate to the
American Library association which
meets at Berkley, Cal, in June. Mrs.
Thompson is charter member of the
Oklahoma association and has been
prominently identified with it from tue
beginning.
An invitation to the association to
hold the next meeting in Chickasha
was extended by Mrs Thompson in
behalf OF the local library board, the
city council and the college. but it was
decided to meet in the future in con-
nection with the annual conventions
of the State Education association.
The initial move by which to stand
ardize the libraries of the public
schools Of the state was made by Supt
r. H. Wilson OF the state board Of ed
ucation, Wednesday afternoon, at the
meeting of the association. Mr. VIII
son asked that committee be appoin--
ed by the Librarians to assist in pre-
pairing graded list of books to be
recommended for school children. His
request was heartily endorsed and Mrs
j. A. Thompson of Chickasha was ap-
pointed chairman of the committee
A resolution asking the executive
boards of the various libraries to allow
the librarians sufficient time off ia
which to attend the meetings was
unanimously adopted. The resolution
also proposed that the boards pay the
expenses of the librarians, the benefit
to be received by the interchange Of
ideas at the meetings being more than
ample payment for the small sums ex
pended. A similar resolution was pass
ed by the Ohio association two years
ago.

MASON TELLS WHAT
WAR MOVES MEAN

New York. Oct. 2s.-Two objsc-
tives confronted Nish when the Teu-
tons began their invasion Of Serbia
and Bulgaria joined them.
The first was to prevent the
Austro-Germans from cutting
through Serbia to Bulgaria, and to
oppose the Bulgarians from making
a junction with the central allies In
northern Serbia.
The second was to preserve the In
tegrity OF Macedonia while at the
same time permitting the Teutons to
reach Bulgaria.
Both could not be adopted stimuli
taneously. because the Serbian army
was not strong enough. So the FIRST
was adopted. and the Serbs deserted
Macedonia largely.
In this decision the Serbs were
guided by sound strategy. Mace
donia is near Saloniki. and II the al
lies throw 100000 troops into the
Balkans. the Bulgars must retreat
from Macedonia and desend Bul-
garia.
The Serbs, however. - not hol1
out indefinitely unless ne Allies egnf
them aid. III II, ss No.

MAY CONTINUE
WINTER work ON.
ALASKA nAlLR0AD

tBy United Press Leased Wire.)
Washington. Oct. 2S.--The prac-
ticability OF continuing at least part
Of the work OF construction on the
governments Alaskan railroad all
through the winter will be discussed
10y Chairman VIM. c. Edes OF the
Alaskan engineering commission and
Secretary Of the Interior Lane when
Edes arrives here In q few days. He
| Is now on his way from Alaska.
At that time, too. the form of coal
land lease to be permitted on the
government lands will be finally ap-
proved. Secretary Lane has been
working on this for some time, In
conjunction with his legal advisers.
II IL the intention to make the leases
so iron bound that II will be impos-
sible for large and valuable sections
OF this new part Of the public do
main to be exploited for the benefit
OF large interests in this country.
The progress OF the work on the
railroad Is said at the department
here to be extremely satisfactory. The
government engineers have pushed
ahead so rapidly that they are now
doing work which 1t was originally
estimated would not be reached un-
I'll next February or March.
The only difficulty In the path OF
an all-winter work program Is one OF
finances. The appropriations for the
railroad are running low because OF
the speed with which the work has
been pushed and the new appropria-
tions will not become available until
July /.
Secretary Lane 10 now considering
"a way around this difficulty.
The richness Of the country beinf
tapped by the railroad is being EN-
Iphasized every day. Two new golt
nelds have been discovered along thu
right-of-way, One Is at the Tolo
vana river. about 65 miles north o
Nenana, where a definite pay streal
has been located for distance o
four miles. Another 10 In the Kant
ishna district, where several quart
claims have been taken up.
