"‘What was that?’ he asked the

prevent it the porter grabbed the
purse and handed it to the robber.
"As he turned away I got my pis

One Tenant at Lillian Has Even
Tried to Immortalize “Beastie”
With Alarm Clock.
Mart and her little lamb may be all
right in the children's readers, but
the.\ are out of place in an Atlanta
apartment house.
If you don't believe it. ask pretty
little Mary Calkins, the 10-year-old
daughter of Frederick Carey Calkine,
of tlie Lillian apartments, Juniper and
Eighth Streets. Mary has a lamb, a
hungry little “beastie,” which answers
to the name of "Woolly." and she iy
very indignant over the way her lamb
has been treated
Somebody immortalized the original
Mary and her lamb in verse, resi
dents of the Lillian have tried to im
mortalize little Mary’s pet with old
shoes, alarm dorks, brushes and any
thing else that happens to be loose
when the plaintive Baa! Baa!" of the
lamb bursts upon stillness of the
night.

U.S. RECOGNIZES
house people do not know how to
treat a lamb. They shouldn’t mind a
little thing like being awakened at 2
a. m. by a lamb who ls» mourning for
the touch of its little mistress. she
says Instead of growling and fuss
ing around, they should merely turn
over and sav: "Ain’t that dear little
lamb got a good voice'."’
"The people here think 'Woolly's' a
goat." little.Mary said this morning.
"They give him the queerest things to
eat. Almost every morning I find
piles of old shoes and things lying all
around him. ‘Woolly’ doesn’t eat shoes
I think a man hit him with some
thing once, because one morning
‘Woolly’ had a bump on the side of
his head and he didn’t want to play
Who Gave Him the Clock?
"And one time I found an alarm
clock lying right in front of his nose.
As if ‘Woolly’ didn't know enough to
get up without a clock! 1 guess the
man who threw it out of his window
was afraid Woolly' would sleep too
long and miss his breakfast! I'd
thank the man If 1 knew who he was,
but I can’t find anyone who'll say he
sent It!"
But with all his virtues, and despite
the love of his little mistress-. "Wool
ly” is doomed to on inglorious finish—
possibly he will form a part of a de
licious Iamb stew some day. At any
rate, he must leave the apartment
house.
"Papa says Woolly makes too much
racket around here,” ^tbe little girl
said, "and he.says we have got to sell
him. He always bleats when I am not
with him. and papa says the people
that live in the apartment house don’t
like to be woke up In the night. Wool
ly bleats all night, long, moat of the
time, and doesn't stop until I give him
some cotton seed in the morning.
Has the Janitor Bluffed.
"I don't s^e why they object to
hearing Woolly bleat in the night. 1
think it's cute.
"Nobody's afraid of him but the
.Janitor," said Mary. "Woolly ran away
once, and the janitor wouldn't stop
him because he was afraid Woolly
would butt him."
Mary and her little lamb have been
constant companions since the little
girl won the animal as a. prize at the
Faster egg hunt on the Marist College
campus. It is unnecessary to say that
Woolly’s fleece is white as snowy and
everywhere that Mary went—you
know the rest.

Director Durand regarding the causes
of death for the registration area only
r-f the United States for 1911. the
total deaths front all forms of tuber
culosis is given as 94,205, or 158.9 per
100,000 population.
The rate for 1910 was 160.3 and
160.8 for 1909. The death rate for
the past three years has been con
siderably lower than those of the pre
ceding five years.
A marked increase, however, is
shown in the number of suicides and
deaths by violence.
"The total number of suicides 1 , *
says the report, "for 1911 was 9,622,
an increase of 1.032 over 1910. The
death rate, however, increased only
from 16 to 16.2 per tOO.OOO and was
lower than that for 1909 or 1908.
"The death rate of whites front
suicide. 16.5, was higher than that of
negroes. 10.3. The highest suicide
death rates were in California. 30.1.
Montana 27.8; Colorado. 21.7. Among
the big cities. Salt Francisco. 39.4; St.
Louis. 37.7; Los Angeles, 37.2; Den
ver, 36.5.
“Of the 54.028 deaths in 1911 clas
sified as violent deaths (excluding
suicide) more than nine-tenths,
50.121. were of an accidental or unde
fined character, the remainder being
due to himieicte. The death rate from
accidental and unspecified violence
was S4.6 per 100,000. slightly higher
than in 1910, 84.3; but lower than the
avi ages for the consecutive periods
1901 to 1905. 84.9; and 1905 to 1910, 86.
Homicide caused 3,907 deaths in
1911. or 6.6 per 100.000. The big cities
having lae highest rates were Mem

are to be subpenaed by the Cor
oner’s jury, and that both l^ee
and Frank will testify.
THIRD.—The functions of a
Coroner’s Jury consist of hearing
preliminary testimony, and hold
ing persons under suspicion for
the Grand Jury, which is the le
gal ody that finds indictments
against those accused of crime,
investigation before the Grand
Jury is on evidence and is much
more complete than before the
Coroner’* jury.
FOURTH.—Solicitor - General
Dorsey’s conference with Chief
of Police Beavers and Chief of
Detectives Lanford yesterday was
not to express dissatisfaction
with the police, but to acquaint
himself more fully with facts
not yet made public.
FIFTH.—Officials of the jail
declared to-day 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 troops 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 I^eo
t rank, Milton Klein has furnished the
following:
"Leo Fiank, the superintendent, and
genera) 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 hours*. 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 organisa
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 h1s fellow 1 od genie n
that we have honored him with the
office of president, which is the high
est rank in our organization
Best Work in Factory.
"He is a liberal supporter of man3'
worthy enterprises. But his greatest
work has been among his own em
ployees at his factory. 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 **outh of the Mason
and Dixon line.
"After the magnificent work he 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 this* atrocious crime than
Mr. Frank."

POLICE TRY TO KEEP GIRL
FROM ATTEMPTING SUICIDE
MACON. GA., May 2.—Every drug
store in Macon ha9 been notified by
the police department not to sell any
kind of drug to Flossie Moore, 21
years of age, who this week has tried
four times to kill herself. The girl
has lost her positions at several dry
goods stores in recent weeks when
the employers learned that she for
merly was an inmate of a reform
home.
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 officer*' 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.
"But this is not a time for us to be
come too excited or too hasty in our
efforts to ferret out the criminal.
Above all 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.
Pledges Solution of Case.
"I respectfully ask that the public
be patient, refraining from criticism
of the unceasing efforts on the part of
the officers or private individuals who
are working so generously and faith
fully on the case. And I would as re
spectfully ask that the daily papers
refrain 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 year* 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 « miscar
riage of justice. But I have never
known a cool and systematic investi
gation of a tragedy, backed up by an
earnest public sentiment demanding
the apprehension of the real perpe
trator of a crime like this, to fail of
attaining the desired end.”

“These nations are the greatest

WASHINGTON. May 2.—That the

"The President of the Church is

The first of the wash skirts—a splendid array—have arrived.
Hard to imagine a more attractive and interesting display.
Perhaps they are attractive and interesting by association—wash
skirts presage the fine bright days of summertime—but perhapser they
are attractive and interesting because of the newness of the materials
and the fashioning this seasou.
Ratine in white and colors is very prominent, and wide welt pique—
and the linens, worlds-of them, plain French linen, heavy basket weave
linen, linen crash and striped linen.
Usually they are fashioned along plain, straight lines with an oc
casional one with tiny tucks caught under the belt and at the back, or
another with a cut-in pocket and trimmed with clear pearl buttons.
Will you see them?
They are priced at $2.45, $2.98, $3.50 to $5.75, and the just ar
