FATE OF FRANK |S PROMISED T0
 MAN AND WIFI
Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Feb. 23.-Let Leo M Frank have been received here by MT and Mrs. Victor Innes of Flu preme court of the United States against extraditioE to Georgia on in dictments charging larceny after trust ecently was decided against them The fact that menacng letters had been received from Georgia by MT. and Mrs. Innes was made public tonight by their counsel, who gave out for publication the following extracts rom a letter to Innes:
 You know you murdered our girls and we are waiting for you to be brought to Georgia The people of Cobb county the home of the Nelms girls, took charge of Leo Frank when the sentence of the court was not car ried out, and they can also take charge of YOU and are anXiously waiting for you and your wifes arrival in Geor gia.'
 The author of the letters was not re- vealed.
 Mr. and Mrs. Inres were brought to Texas from Oregon in 1914, after the disappearance here of Mrs. Elois Nelms Dennis and Miss Beatrice Nelms of Atlanta, Ga. Indictments of murder against them in this connec- tion were dismissed because of lack of evidence. Innes had acted as lawyer for Mrs. Dennis and the subsequent indictment charging larceny after trust was based on his business dealings with her. She is alleged to have given him $12,000 to invest in Texas land. Neither Mrs Dennis nor Miss Nelms, | so far as known, have ever been found. They disappeared nearly two years ago.

definite plan for precipitating the eX- citement which followed later in the day
 Discussion continued and then Chairman Flood, Majority Leader Kitchin and Representative Harrison of Mississippi, held a conference in the majority leaders office. Simul- taneouslv came word that delega tion of Missourians who favored the resolution had called on Senator Stone and insisted that vote of the 1 two houses be taken on it.
 1 The floor buzZed with rumors of an impending outbreak from the ad- vocates of the resolution.
 1 War claims bills under formal con- sideration in the house were left in the hands of a few on the floor. Rep resentative McLemore, author of the 1 resolution now before the committee; | Chairman Webb of the judiciary com mittee. and Representative Heflin of Alabama. were centers of groups seeking information The cloak rooms fairly hummed with conversation. A rumor that Chairman Flood had promised MT. McLemore a hearing on his resolution and another that the resolution would be reported soon created a wave of excitement. Mem | bers hastened to Mr. Flood only to find the reports were untrue. When the conference in Mr Kitchin's room ended the majority leader hurried over to Speaker Clark's office. | Return of the Missourians, Repre- sentatives Igoe, Decker, Hensley, Rus sell and Shackelford from their call on Senator Stone, was the signal for another stir.
 T fear we are on the brink of war
 and we should avoid it if possible, Representative Decker said No dem
 ocrat is more willing to uphold the hands of the president than l, but think this is a step that should be
 taken without regard to his views

 PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 23.-Mayor Thomas B.

After d meeting with his departmental directors at which the question was discussed the mayor is sued a statement in which he said:
 Rum and efficient public service is impossible. My orders to the heads of all departments are to suspend from duty without pay any employe found using liquor while at work, or found to be under the influence of liquor while at work, or showing any evidence whatever of having used liquor while on duty. The suspension is equivalent to dismissal where the facts warrant such action. No excuses will save an offending emp1oye no matter how good his previous record may be-

 The chairman was told that a strong sentiment for the resolution existed in the house and that it could not be ignored. He stood steadfastly against reporting the resolution. Af- ter a lengthy argument it was de- cided that a canvass of the house should be taken and the chairman of the house and senate committees, Representative Flood and Senator Stone, should report that sentiment to the president tomorrow, if pos sble
 Representative Flood was confident of the defeat of the resolution in the committee.
 Neither the McLemore resolution nor any other of similar nature will be reported out of this committee" ," he said. Nor will it be possible to get such a resolution on the floor except through the committee"
