FIFTH—Official* of the jail declared to-gay that visitors will not be allowed to see either Frank or Lee, but, of course, counsel will have free access to them. SIXTH,—The absurd report that State troop* were to be called out, of course, has no foun dation In facts. This rumor was published in some of the State pa pers and by an unimportant morning dally of limited circula tion. SEVENTH.—The report that William J. Burns is to come to Atlanta is of doubtful origin. The last heard of Mr. Burns he was In Europe. EIGHTH.—Friends of Frank are coming forward in his defense and are making a vigorous de fense for him. It Is reported that M. Frank, an uncle, who is very wealthy, will employ the ablest legal talent to defend Frank. In regard to the arrest of Leo Frank, Milton Klein has furnished the following: "Leo Frank, the superintendent and general manager of one of Atlanta’s largest and most promising industries, spends two hours in his office on a holiday after generously relieving the watchman during these hour*. His habits are regular and industrious, and his life while In Atlanta Is per fectly blameless In every respect. “The terrible crime committed in his plant calls forth the closest scru tiny of Mr. Frank’s relations with his 200 workmen and women. Only the highest words of praise and confi dence in his character are heard on all sides. “I have worked with Mr. Frank for years in various charitable organiza tions and have ever found him the most polished of gentlemen, with the kindest of heart and the broadest of sympathy. To such an extent it Is recognized among his fellow lodgemen that we have honored him with the office of president, which Is the high est rank in our organization.

The first to report in the morning and the last to leave at night, every day and holi days. he has labored to build up a factory that in spirit and efficiency is second to none* south of the Mason and Dixon line. “After the magnificent work ho has done in his adopted home, shall we, without consideration, emphasize ev ery bit of gossip which unjustly and groundlessly connects him with this awful tragedy? No one seeks more fervently to discover the real perpe trator of thie atrocious crime than Mr. Frank.” Miner Asks for Calmness. Deputy Sheriff Plennie Miner makes the following plea for calm consider ation of the Phagan case: “While a crime of a most revolting nature has been committed in our midst, and our people are naturally excited and Incensed over the deplor able affair, there are things that we need to consider coolly and carefully. “Every possible effort is being put forth by the officers* and the public generally to apprehend the guilty par ty or parties. Nothing is being left undone, no clew is being overlooked that would lead to a solution of the mysterious tragedy. "Hut this is not a time for us to be come too excited or too hasty in our efforts to ferret out the criminal. Above ail things, and especially at this time, it is absolutely necessary for us to keep perfectly cool, to work carefully and quietly, running down every possible clew with caution. “1 respectfully ask that the public be patient, refraining from criticism of the unerasing efforts on the part of the officers or private Individuals who are working so generously and faith- full} on the case. And 1 would as re spectfully ask that the daily papers retrain from printing anything calcu lated to unduly inflame the public mind; and from using such headlines as are calculated to arouse undue in dignation. “And you may rest assured if faith ful and persevering work counts for anything justice will be done. I have known, during my several years of experience as an officer and in crimi nal cases, undue haste in matters of this kind, brought on by excitement and enthusiasm, to produce i. miscar riage of justice. Bui I have never known a cool and systematic investi gation of r tragedy, backed ut by an earnest public sentiment demanding the apprehension of the r*al perpe trator of a crime like this, to fail of attaining the des4f*crj end’ Transparent, Tight And Short Skirts Criticized by Blease South Carolina Governor, Seeing Evil Influence in Modern Fashions, Urges Reform. j COLUMBIA, S C., May 2.

A stenographic report of all Bryan conferences with the Governor and Legislature of Cali fornia, with questions and answers, have been laid before the President.

Activity in War Office. Great activity is evident at the War and Navy Departments. Diplomatic assurances are made that such activity is without reference to Japan. This* is designed to avoid even a remote suggestion of mobiliza tion, which would be construed as a hostile act by Japan. The armored cruiser South Dakota, at the suggestion of the State Depart ment, has been ordered North from Acapulco, Mexico. The armored cruis er Colorado was ordered from the west coast of Mexico to San Diego, Cal. It is explained that only lesser draft vessels are required for the Pa- ciflc-Mexlcan ports.

Five 14-inch guns are to be shipped im mediately. The big 16-lnch gun at Sandy Hook will be firs*t to arrive at the Canal Zone. It has a radius of 20 miles. The squadron now on the Pacific (’oast could not prevent a Japanese fleet from destroying the Western ter. minal. Fourteen-inch guns are the beat and only protection. They are being rushed from the Watervliet Arsenal. Most important of all is that the Navy Department has plans by which the Panama Canal can be utilized within 50 days to shift the Atlantic fleet to the Pacific Coast. Could Be Opened June 20. At present rate of construction, with but one eight-hour shift at work, the locks will be completed and lhe canal flooded by October 1. With three eight-hour shifts, the gates can be completed by June 20. The Isthmian Canal Commission admits that work is being rushed with extraordinary speed. So far is the canal itself is concerned, it could be flooded right now to^ample depth for the passage of ships. The Gatun, Pedro Miguel and Miraflores lock gates, however, are not yet in place. It is stated that even slides in the Culebra Cut will present no obstacle. In case of emergency, a single day’s work could clear away sufficient earth to let any vessel of the navy type pass through. The battleships Vermont, Minne sota and Connecticut .are now at Ver) Cruz, and* the Idaho at Tampico, Mexico. These vessels are wlthvn easy reach of the canal.
