FEELING RUNS BOTH WAYS IN
THE FRANK CASE
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 10. - Special
guards of police we're this morning
ordered to prevent crowds from con-
gregating in front of newspaper Of
fees and in front of police headquar-
tiers to discuss the Leo Frank case.
The interest now centers around
the identity of the Iynchers. So far
not even a suspect has been taken
into custody. If any men are being
held it is being kept secret by the pO-
lice who fear that an -ttempt will be
made to free them.
This morning Gov. Harris started
to read reports of the various COM
mittees and commissions investigat-
ing the lynching. He gave out a state
ment that he would take personal
charge of all probes.
''The lack of preparation in the
prison was objectionable" Harris is
reported to have stated last night.
eve want more explanations from
the officials of the prison farm"
1t is also reported that the eXecu-
tive is much incensed over the action
of the Atlanta police in yielding to the
demand Of the crowd when they per-
mitted $4,000 people to view Franks
body in a mOrgue there. Judge Nor
ris of Marietta, who saved Franks B
from mutilation, is the only person
credited with behaving decentIy in
connection with the lynching. The
authorities are being widely con-
demned for their showing in the case.
There is no neutrality among the peo-
pie in Atlanta. Every one has his
own decided opinion on the lynching
and several fights have occurred in
street arguments over the incident.
An immense crowd packed the sta
ton of the Southern railroad to watch

Houston, Texas, Aug. 18.-It will
be several days at least before sat
isfactory telegraph and telephone

time before the extent of damage
done by the storm which swept the

known. It was roughly estimated to-
day, from reports which reached nU-
merOus, places, that the damage
would be enormous.
Two or three lives were lost here in
the echo of the storm that swept
Galveston.
Hundreds of buildings have been
unroofed and many completely de-
stTOyed. Electric and gas plants are
out of commission and the entire tel
ephone system paralyzed. From

Des Moines, March Another move
in the campaign for higher passenger
and freight rates in Iowa was made
today by the railroads. when a COM
mittee of prominent railroad men, rep
resenting number of the leading
railroads operating in Iowa, appeared
before a number of men of Des Moines
at the rooms of the chamber of COM
nerce and spoke in favor of their
cause. They found divided audience.
because while many of the Des Moines
business men are quite willing to join
in the movement others have interests
that are antagoniStic. The plan OF the
railroad men is 10 have the chamber Of
commerce and similar commercial bod
les in the state. indorse and approve
the campaign and thus add to the
pressure on the legislature in favor OF
an increase in rates.
Publicity Bureau at Work.

the campaign has a publicity bureau

advertising which is being handled for

added 10 the speaking campaign under

other states the campaign has pro-
ceeded much further than in Iowa. In
all these states the general plan has

buying of newspaper space. then a
/ committee to call on the governor and

| low up plan of meetings with COM
mercial bodies. In other states, so the
