FRANK LYNCHEO
. BY GEORGIA MOB
MAN CONVICTED OF MURDER OF
MARY PHAGAN is HANGED
TO A TREE.
Armed Band of twenty-five Men
Dragged Frank From Jail and
After Driving Across State 140
Miles, Lynch Their Prisoner.

Atlanta, Ga.-Leo M Frank, con
victed of the murder of Mary Phagan
and serving life sentence at Mil
ledgeville, was taken from prison Mon
day night and lynched by a mob.
Frank was dragged from Milledge
vile Jail by an armed band of twenty
fve men who had previously cut al
wires leading to the prison and ther
at the point of pistols and shotguns
had overpowered the warden and his
star OF assistants. He was hurried
across the state lao miles to within
two miles of Marietta, the home and
burial place of Mary Phagan, victim OF
the pencil factory murder for which
Frank was convicted At daybreak he
was hanged at the end of fifteen feet
of rope in an oak grove.
The body was discovered at $50
Tuesday morning and a mob quickly
gathered. Women and children were
prominent in the throng. While the
body still dangled in the air threats
of cremation on the spot were made
by members of the throng Cool coun-
sci prevailed and the body was cut
down and brought to Atlanta, though
not escaping vicious kicks from the
boot OF maniac in the mob as it was
being carried to the undertaker's
wagon. No arrests have yet been
made.
Leo M. Franks body was brought to
Atlanta Tuesday afternoon and Sc
creted in barn until crowd search
Ing for 1t threatened serious trouble
1t then was taken from the barn to an
undertaking establishment, where
steady stream of persons passed to
view it.
The temper of the people seemed
not so much to wreak vengeance upon
the lifeless form, but personally to
assure themselves that it really was
the body of Frank.
Prison officials at Milledgeville are
held to be blameless in connection
with the kidnapping of Leo NJ Frank
from the state prison farm, in state
ment given out Tuesday by R. e. Da
wilson, chairman of the state prison
commission.
Leo M. Frank was found guilty of
the murder of Mary Phagan on August
rs, 1913, and sentenced to be hanged
He was the superintendent of the Ma
tional Pencil factory in Atlanta, in the
basement of which the girls body was
found by night watchman on the
night of April 25.
A few weeks ago an attempt was
made by j. William Green, another
life-term convict, to kill Frank by cut
ting his throat. Franks condition was
serious for some days

SUCCESS CROWNS
DALLES DOCTOR
DR.. Ben Morgan Perfects Valuable
Machine to Surgical and
Medical Profession

The following clipping from thu
Dalles, Oregon, Morning Sun, concern
ing DR.. Ben Morgan, brother of oul
county commissioner, Sheppard Nor
gan, will be read with much inter
est by our patrons.
A native son of The Dalles, DR.
Ben Morgan is receiving considerable
attention these days from the medi
cal fraternity of the United States
and the only reason he is not attract
ing the attention from those of the
foreign countries is due to the wal
that exists there at this time.
The cause of all this attention is
due to his invention, and perfectine
what is known as an ether enaes-
thetic machine. 1t is a new depart.
ure in the application of ether in
the practice of surgery. The princi-
pie of the machine is to mix the
ether with the air in such way as
to make its use easier and safer in
every way, and this feature will be
greatly appreciated by medical men
DR.. Morgan perfected the machine
while a student of the School of Medi
cine and Surgery of Chicago, from
which institution he graduated two
years ago. Last September he went
to Berlin to demonstrate the ma:
chine before some of the noted doc
tors of Germany, and only recently
returned from that country. The den,
onstratdon was a success In every
way, and the machine and it's work
received the highest endorsement of
these learned men.
DR.. Morgan is now receiving in
quiries and calls for demonstrations
from some of the largest hospitals
of the country.
This machine has been used sew
eral times in the work at the Colum-
bia hospital of this city, and is to be
used again this morning. In an inter
view had with DR.. Causineau of that
institution last evening he stated
that it was the most wonderful addi-
tion to the medical world that had
occurred In recent years. He stated
that in its use this machine applies
the anaesthetic in such a way as to
render the patient insensible only to
a certain degree, and keeps them in
that state without the least variation
one way or the other, and that there
was no sickness or i'll after-effects
from the ether when using this ma
chine. This, in itself. is a great
boon to the use of ether and of in
estimab,e value to the practitioner of
surgery. Through the ultimate use
of this machine DR.. Causineau be-
lieves that DR.. Morgan is due to be-
come one of the best known men
of the profession.
The machine is being manufactur-
ed in Oh 'cago.
DR.. Morgan is native son of The
Dalles, and a graduate of the high
school of this city prior to taking
up the study of medicine and sur
gerry and his friends will be pleased
to know that he is meeting with such
wonderful success. We are all proud
of the fact that Dalles boy has
produced something worth while.

Win Ask Congress to Advances Money

Development.

Washington.--The secretary OF agrf-
cultures plan to anticipate future re.
ceipts from the national forests by
securing an advance OF money from
congress for the construction OF roads,
trails. bridges, and other public works
would stimulate agricultural develop
ment and would relieve many strug-
CLING communities from their present
burdens OF taxation, says an article
contributed by the chief OF the forest
service to the department OF agricui-
ture year book. just issued. This pol
icy, says the article, would apply ex-
clusively In those counties where there
is considerable area OF national for
est land 30 located that the forest re-
sources cannot be marketed, al.
though later they will yield large
revenue. It would fully meet the To-
cal difficulties arising from the fact
that the national forests are not sub
ject to taxation; would aid In the pro-
lection and development OF the for
est resources, and would remove the
one barrier which In few places pre-
vents farmers from Immediately en-
ioying the benefits OF the national for
ests.
Millions OF acres OF farm land are
today undeveloped because OF lack
of good roads. In opening any new
country road building constitutes q
hard problem for the settlers. At first.
while the settler 10 struggling TO
erect his home and farm buildings
and to clear his land. he usually can.
not afford to pay high taxes or other
wise contribute toward the expense OF
road building. The national forests
comprise the remotest and least set
led regions OF the country. In many
cases farming In these localities In
still pioneering, under as difficult con-
ditions as have ever existed In the
United States. One of tho principal
reasons for the failure to develop the
!arge areas of excellent agricultural
nd which lie near the forests ID the
.ack OF roads.
The government Ia trying to meet
his problem In two ways, first. by
public improvements being made ON
The national forests. and second by
ne direct contribution to the coun-
lies of share In the forest receipts.
UP to date the forest service has con-
structed on the forests more than
2,300 miles OF roads, $1,000 miles OF
trails, nearly 600 bridges, and $4,000
miles OF telephone lines. Every one
of these Improvements benefits set

is appropriated annually for the use of
the counties In which the national for

ceipts from timber sales and other
sources, to be used for road and
