ECHO OF FRANK CASE.
Manager Of Burns Detective Agency
Files Brief.

A brief attacking the constitution.
atty Of the Atlanta city ordinance
requiring the licensing of private de-
:ectives operating in that city and
Incidentally rcopening some of the
legal issues involved in the Leo NJ.
Frank case, was filed with the United
States Supreme Court in Washing
ton last week by Dan S. Lehon, for
iner district manager for the w. j,
Burns Detective Agency in New Or
leans.
Eehon's case is brought before the
Supreme Court on all appeal from a
conviction in Atlanta and will be
aeard during the coming term.
The brief filed yesterday holds
that the ordinance in question is I'M
constitutional in that it requires all
private detectives shall be Georgians
with licenses approved by the Attain
"a Slllel VI :iollSC. IL idiSSS JIG HuSS-
lion of Franks constitutional right to
have received aid in preparing his
defense from agents not under super
vision Of the Atlanta police.
"Thc only intent and purpose of
the ordinance" Lchon's brief declares
yves to drive out of business all de-
tcctivc agencies which would not CO.
operate with the police Of the city
and do the bidding Of the police au-
thorities; also to exclude all nonresi-
:ianSs from the business. And the evil
dencc discloses that in practical oper
alton they were given that effect"
Lehon contends that he was not
entirely engaged in private detective
work, but was the district manager
n charge Of agency operatives.

Water Works Week

November 18th to 18th is set
apart as Water Works Week in
Mississippi by proclamation of
the Governor Of the State The
following. full text of this procla-
nation is offered to those in
terested by Daniels Scoates,
head of the Agricultural Engi-
neering department Of the Mis-
sissippi A. and NJ. College, who
is in charge Of the Home Water
Works Campaign:
To the People of Mississippi:
Nothing contributes to the
health, comfort, and well being
Of the state as much as aeon
venient, plentiful, and sanitary
water.supply in the home. An
Exaggerated idea of the cost of
putting running water in the
home has heretofore been pre-
-valent.in the minds of the farm
ers. To dispel this common mis-
take and to promote the instalIa-
ton of the simple low cost water
works together with a sanitary
water supply throughout our
rural communities the various
organizations of our state have
allied themselves and are fur
nishing information and plans to
all interested. With over a
hOndred Thousand farm homes
in Mississippi, the majority of
which do not have a satisfactory
water supply, it behooves us to
stop. take account of these facts
and to do what lies in our power
to change these conditions. To.
do the most effective work in
this calls for aunited effort on.
the part of all our people. There
is prevailing idea that only the
cities and towns need water
works; that only town homes
need drumming water. Good sani-
ration demands running water in
oDf homes as much so in the
rural districts as in the cities and
