GEORGIA MOB LYNChES FRANK
Armed Body of Men overpowers the
Guard at State Prison Farm
Body Later Recovered

Milledgeville, Ga, Aug IA mob
variously estimated at between twenty
i've and seventy-five in number over
powered the warden, superintendent
and guards at the Georgia State Pris-
on Farm here at IL O'Clock last night,
quickly got Leo NJ Frank and rushed
him away in a motor car His dead
body was found swinging to a tree two
miles east of Marietta six hours later
First reports that it might be friends
of Frank were dispelled when a pris-
oner said he had heard a member of
the mob say that Franks body would
be placed tomorrow on the grave of
Mary Phagan at Marietta Frank was
serving life term for the murder of
the girl
Sheriffs' posses in motor cars rushed
wildly through the night searching
for the mob, without success.
AS dawn came any remaining hope
that Leo Frank might be saved from
terrible treatment and death at the
hands of his prosecutors vanished
The attack was shortly before mid
night. The warden, with most of the
guards, was sleeping on a rear porch
of the main building in which the
prisoners are confined. Both he and
the guards were handcuffed. after
which the party entered the prison and
removed Frank.
The mob was orderly, but worked
with quick precision Eight motor
cars took the men to within a short
distance of the prison.
First all wires from the prison and
all except one from Milledgeville were
cut
Five men went to the house of ]. T.
Smith, warden, covered him with pis-
tolls and stood guard over him. Other
men went to the house of ]. NJ Burke,
superintendent of the prison. and held
him under cover of their guns
Practically every other member of
the mob then rushed to the stockade
gate nearest the dormitory, where
Frank was being housed. Only yes
terday did the physicians discharge
him from the hospital, where he had
been since being murderously assault
ed in the dormitory.

BUMPER CORN CROP IN SIGHT
Farmers in Central Kansas Promise
One of the Largest Yields Ever
Harvested in State

While there may have been some
loss to the wheat crop from the ex-
cessiye rains in Central Kansas the
farmers say there will be the greatest
corn crop ever harvested and many Of
them are beginning to wonder how
they are going to gather the crop.
The stalks are from twelve 10 six
teen feet high. many of them have
three ears and nearly every one has
two ears. A great majority OF the
ears are out of reach of the tallest
man. many of them being ten and
twelve feet above the ground.
The ears are SO long and large that
they are bending over and hanging
down from their own weight and the
farmers say that the poorest fields
viii yield fifty bushels to the acre.
while there are fields which will make
seventy and eighty bushels and some
more.
The weight of two and three of the
large ears is bending the stalks over
and some fields are becoming a tan
gled mass of corn stalks and ears. To
drive through the fields with a wagon.
it is said, will be almost an fmpossi-
bility without doing damage. and it
will be a difficult matter to cut the
corn and get it into shocks
Sucn corn crop has never been
seen in this country even by the old
est inhabitant. Some of the samples
OF corn displayed in different towns
in Central Kansas verify the state
ments of the farmers both as to the
size of the ears and also as to the
number of ears on the stalks. Much
OF the corn is in roasting ear, it is
well filed to the end of the cob and
1t is said it will mature without an
other drop of rain. The ground is
thoroughly soaked and the moisture
Will not be taken from abe ground as
1T is so well shaded the sun cannot
get to it to evaporate the moisture.

MORE AMERICAN PROSPERITY
Bank Credits Now Available in This
Country are the Largest in the
Worlds History.

Chicago, Aug 16.-Possibilities of
business expansion in the United
States, based on the huge reserve of
more than 736 million dollars held by
more than 1900 banks, comprising the
Federal Reserve system, are unprece-
denied
The lending power of these banks
alone is five times the amount of their
reserves, which means a lending pow
er of about $500 million dollars. In
Guiding state and private institutions
there are more than 1000 banks in
this country, and with these it is es-
timated that the banking situation
will permit a credit expansion of
more than six billion dollars
No nation ever had such enormous
banking credits to work with and the
condition spells prosperity
These banking facilities would car
ry the country over any conceivable
difficulty. There are safeguards
against the dangers of speculation and
abuses of credit. and the chances of
disastrous imitation are regulated to
a minimum.
Business interests now have what
they never had before-complete
elimination of all grounds for fearing
a monetary stringency in the autumn
and early winter months while the
crops are being financed.
There will be plenty of money for
all this year, and the burden of high
interest rates incident to money scar
city will have passed into history.
The fact that not to exceed 500 mill
lion dollars in A1drich-VreeIand cur
rency and clearing house certificates
was sufficient to allay the crisis fol-
lowing the declaration of war in Eu-
rope last year indicates what can be
accomplished with the facilities now
at hand.
Within toe next ninety days the
member banks of the federal reserve
system will be called on to make ad-
ditional deposits with their regional
banks amounting to about so million
dollars Thus the system steadily is
being made stronger and greater DOW
ers are impaired for the purpose of
credit expansion.

one persons are known to be dead in
the tropical hurricane which swept
over Galveston from the Gulf of Mex
leo late Monday and veered inland
The Galveston sea wall is intact, but
the causeway was washed out from
both east and west ends connecting
with the concrete work. The draw
bridge was uninjured- The Galveston
Sea Wall Boulevard was washed away
for several blocks from Seventeenth

There is no train service in or out
of Galveston, and the telephone and
telegraph service also are out of COM
mission. The only transportation
from Galveston is by boat.
Heavy Loss for Cotton Growers.
In addition there was an enormous
loss to cotton growers in the storm
belt. some estimates stating that %
per cent of the crop of Central Texas
was destroyed and placing the loss at
millions of dollars
The oil fields also suffered severely
and it is probable that it will take a
half million dollars to replace de-
stroyed derricks, recap unroofed tanks
and repair damaged machinery
Further comparison with the 1900
storm was furnished by w. E. Max
son, general superintendent of the At
Gibson, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad
He telegraphed from Hitchcock, Tex,
that the gulf waters had been driven
inland to that point, seventeen miles
from Galveston, and added that in
other localities the sea had encroach-
ed three miles beyond its high mark
of fifteen years ago
Port Arthur Hit Hard.
Port Arthur was hit hard by the
storm but only four of its residents
lost their lives. The exodus from that
city was unusually prompt, Beaumont
reporting that hundreds had come
there. Sabine and Sabine Pass were
reported as deserted and sub
merged"
Damage to Piers.
Extensive damage to shipping in
the harbor and along the docks, and
TO the docks themselves, also resulted
from the hurricane. Several of the
piers were destroyed completely while

jurisdiction" and that the recent re-

its jurisdiction in issuing the restrain

from putting into effect its order for
a Scent raise in the price of gas, as
all of the members of the commission
reside in another county.
Immediately after hearing the de-
c1s1on, R. o. Castor, representing the

whatever answer the commission
would make would be made within
five days.
