CASE TWO YEARS OLD


The shadow of death hung over Leo
N. Frank for two years before he was
finally relieved today by the COM
muntation of sentence TO life imprison-
ment. He sought to escape death by
every means; nothing in law or Grim
inal procedure being overlooked that
would prevent him from going to his
death. Court appeals were taken so
that three times he has stood before
judges and heard them pronounce the
death sentence. He has been in court
rooms of every description and has
spent his days in prisons and city
jails when he was taken about to ap-
pear before the different judges to
make his plea for life
NATIONWIDE Appeal
Besides the efforts made by his rel
atives and friends there has been a
nation wide spectacular appeal in his
behalf Bulky petitions have been re-
ceived from every city of Importance
in the country bearing the names of
asking that he be extended
clenaency. And these petitions were
not POSITIVELY circulated Newspapers
took them and passed them around af-
ter street corner meetings. Meetings
we're held in auditoriums at which
able orators presented his case and
then asked that the petition be signed
Hebrew People to His Rescue
Frank is a Jew Foremost in his
behalf have been the Hebrew people
Of the United States. They have work
I'd for his release, in many ways;
funds for mis- great legal
light, throwing the sentiment of their
strong organizations in his favor and
making unanimous appeal that he

Not the least spectacular incident of
he long fight has been the continued
nsistence of his innocence made by
frank himself.

DIRECT AFFAIRS OF PARTY
Call Has Been Issued For Meeting of
Republican State Central Commit
tee at Boise on July 9TH

Inc republican party In ldahO Will

shape for the 1916 campaign at an
leaders of the party and since indica-
tions point to the retirement of Geo.
A. Day, state land commissioner, as
state chairman, interest is ceptering
on his possible successor. Most prom
inently mentioned for that post is Evan
Evans of Grangeville, member of the
state board OF education, and who
was manager of the senatorial cam
paign of j. f. Ailshie. To all polite
Iians Mr. Evans is known as the "Sil-
ent Man" He talks little but thinks
much and is regarded as one of the
shrewdest politicians in the state. Mr..
Evans is pioneer of Idaho county
and has been tower of strength not
alone in his home affairs but wher-
ever he has been aligned in state mat
ters. His friends are numbered by
the hundreds. He is perhaps one of
the few citizens of Idaho WHO has
been active in politics that has come
through without gaining an enemy
His friends know him for his true
worth and his faculty for keeping
from entangling alliances has created
a most profound respect for his judg-
ment and ability and for this reason
he is just now the most talked of man
in the state for chairman of the re
publican state central committee.

THE LITTLE GEORGIA MAGNET
From the VaIdosta Times.

A few days ago, while looking over
an old copy of The Times, found on
the street here and printed about u
years ago, we found this paragraph:
All the Georgia towns, both
large and small, are developing
girls with strange powers sim
liar to those of Lula Hurst. 1t
will soon be that no town will
be fashionable which hasn't its
electric girl.
The next day we read in one OF
the Macon papers that Mrs. D. A.
Haygood was dead, but the report,
so far as it affected her past life,
was so far wrong that we did not
recognize it as being the Little
Georgia Magnet" whose star OF
fame far surpassed that of the origi-
nal electric wonder" referred to
in the paragraph above. Still later,
in the Milledgeville News, publish
ed in the city where she was born
and reared, was an account OF her
funeral, in which it was declared that
"during the past Is years she has
appeared before the crowned heads
of Europe and Asia" and that she
attracted international attention by
her wonderful acting and display OF
histrionic ability
All of which reminds US that fame
is feeting indeed. Here is woman
whose picture appeared in every
newspaper in Europe and America
who appeared before all of the
crowned heads-and yet the paper IN
the city where she was born does not
seem to know that her fame was
not founded upon her acting or his
trionic ability" but upon some super
natural power which defied those
who sought to explain it. Her power
might have been physical strength
in a man. but that could hardly eX-
plain it in a woman so frail as the
Little Georgia Magnet" Her en-
tertainment of about two hours con-
sisted in tests of various sort. One
of them was that, placing her hands
upon a chair, without clinching 1t,
but raising it from the floor, doz-
en- strong men could not put it on the
floor or break her grasp without
twisting or jerking it. She could
take a billiard cue between her mn
gers and a dozen men could not low

The men are free and easy of address,

The women are noble of purpose and
