was 1012-5. The wound is infected. A drainage tube has
been inserted.
(By Associated Press.)
Milledgeville, Ga., July 20/—The condition of Leo M. Frank ia good
under the circumstances, the physicians attending the noted convict at the
Ftate prison farm here today said. Ho spent a restful night and is able to
take nourishment. It is difficult to prevent him from talking.
Flank’s temperature at 0 o’clock was 100, the doctors announced. He
was removed to a private room today.
The fear of blood poisoning developing from the ragged wound in
Frank’s throat has prompted Atlanta friends and relatives, as well as medi
cal advisers of the wounded prisoner, to add another physician to the group
already at his bedside.
He is Dr. Thomas Hall, one of the best-known practitioners of Milledge-
mile. He .pent a large part of yesterday afternoon at Frank’s side and con
sulted frequently with Dr. G. D. Compton, the state prison surgeon, who has
the patient’s case in charge. He repeated what the other physicians have
state i, that Frank would undoubtedly have died from loss of blood within
few minutes after his jugular vein had been pierced, had it not been for the
immediate attention to the wound rendered by Dr. McNaughton, a fellow
prisoner. 1 „
Extraordinary precautions are being taken to prevent blood poison. It
is feared that the knifo with which Creen committed his murderous attack
was infected.

DISTILLERIES TURNED INTO
DENATURED ALCOHOL PLANTS
Washington, D. C., July 20.—Whis.
key distillers who have acquired fat
"war contracts’’ for alcohol are en
abled these day to look upon the en
croaching wave of prohibition with
comparative equanimity.
. Although income tax collectors
show that the consumption of "hard
liquor”-fell off 10 per cent during the
last year in the United States, dis
tilleries in all parts of the country
are reported to be running at capac
ity.- . . . .
Instea d of producing distilled
spirits the distilleries are producing
denatured alcohol for use in the man
ufacture of smokeless powder for the
fighting forces of Europe. Had it
not been for this unexpected demand
for alcohol, distillers admit, thous
ands of employes who are now work,

pied Windau—Predicted That

Warsaw—Paris Claims French
Inflicted Severe Losses of
Teutons.
(By Associated Press.)
London, July 20.—When will
Warsaw be evacuated? This is
now the question uppermost in
the minds of British, military crit
ics.. With virtually all of Cour-
land in German hands and' the
Germans across the Bug river,
the continued occupancy of War
saw exposes the Russians to
danger of disaster.
Copenhagen reports the German-
occupation of Windau. This menace
from the north parallels the Teutonic!
advance on the Lublin railroad. The
enemy is reported to be advancing;
toward Riga from Windau.
The wisdom of abandoning Warsaw
and straightening the Russian line
causes speculation. It is predicted
that the Russians will retire. . Paris
claims that the German lorses*in the
assaults on the heights of Meuse on
the western front were severe. A
German official statement claims that
45,000 Russian prisoners have been
taken.
A Paris statement says that six
French aeroplanes bombarded the
station at Colmar, in the upper Al
sace, returning safely.
A new bill for a
$750,000,000 was introduced in the
house of commons. The grand total
is now $5,060,000,000.

City detectives exhibited great cau

The box caused a ripple of merri

pistol, a cuff link corroded by age,
