DEFENSE ASKS NEW RULING IN DELAYING FRANK TRIAL
Conference Planned to Decide
Which Shall Take Precedence.
Ready to Draw Venire.
Reuben R. Arnold, of counsel for
Leo M. Frank, announced Tuesday
that he proposed to seek a confer
ence of the attorneys in the Frank
case and in the Crawford will hear
ing: to determine which case should
be postponed next Monday, the date
set for the beginning of the trial of
Frank on the charge of slaying Mary
Phagan.
Mr. Arnold, Luther Z. Rosser, chief
of counsel for Frank, both also are
attorneys in the Crawford will case,
and it would be impossible on this
account to conduct the two cases si
multaneously. The Crawford hearing
will resume Wednesday before a spe
cial auditor in a branch of the Supe
rior Court, and undoubtedly will be
in progress next week if It Is not
stopped by a postponement.
The will hearing, because of the
fact that it already is under way,
would have a natural precedence over
the Frank trial. This may be waived,
however, in order to take up the Pha
gan mystery.
Bloody Stiok Found.
The defense admitted Tuesday that
it had in its posession a bloodstained
stick, which it says was found behind
the radiator on the first floor of the
pencil factory, near the elevator
shaft on May 10, and that this
weapon will be used to uphold the
theory of Frank’s attorneys an
nounced some weeks ago, that Mary
Phagan was killed with a stick by
the negro Jim Conley, after she had
received her pay envelope.
While it had long been known that
the theory that the Phagan girl met
her death by a blow over the head
with a stick would be advanced by
the defense, the actual posession, it
was learned, has been zealously
guarded. The w r eapon it was learned,
was found by L. P. Whltefleld and W\
D. McWorth, of the Pinkerton force,
who made a careful search of the fac
tory on May 9. It was turned over
to counsel for Frank on the following
day.
None of the attorneys for the de
fense will aay that they Intend to ask
for a postponement of the Frank trial,
but the hot weather and the fact that
the Crawford case Is in progress at
‘his time apepar to be combining to
bring about such a consummation.
Judge Roan has stated that the case
would be called Monday, but he prob
ably will accede to the request for a
conference some day this week to dis-
<-u«s the matter.
Court Likely to Acoede.
, Attorney Arnold will ask that the
Jurymen be not summoned until a
definite decision Is reached as to
which of the cases is to take prece
dence.
Despite the reported repudiation of
her sensational affidavit that eLo M.
Frank had tried repeatedly on the
night of the Mary Phagan murder to
secure a room in which to bring a
girl, Mrs. Nina Formby declared in
Chattanooga Tuesday that she would
be in Atlanta on July 28 to testify
to her statements when the trial of
the pencil factory superintendent
opens.
Denies She Retracted.
According to a dispatch from Chat
tanooga, where the woman has been
for several w T eeks, Mrs. Formby de
nies having ever retracted from her
origLnal declarations which she made
to the police, and further stated that
she would repeat them on the witness
stand.
The police have asserted that Mrs.
Formby has been eliminated from the
case.
Superior Judge John T Pendleton
prepared Tuesday to draw' the 150
veniremen for the trial. This venire
will be called next Monday morning
Unless the weather is unusually warm.
The Jury, in all probability, will be
selected and served before Wednes-
E. C. Kilpatriok, of No. 391 Cap
itol avenue, a clerk m the offloe
of the traffic manager of the At
lanta and West Point Railroad,

eral young women employed in
the offices of the Grant Building

he had insulted them. Tuesday
afternoon two young women em
ployed in a Gr«nt Building of

and pointed him out to Policeman
Bryant.

ters under $100 bond. He declares
that he is a victim of mistaken

E. Hayden, appointed by President
Wilson as an attorney in the Diggs-
Camln cittel (fleswqcM|rfvcmfwyp c
Caminettl white slave rase, to-day
daullaed the appointment.
WASHINGTON, July 22<-De.
nunciation of the Tsft and Wil
son administration* for their dil
atory attitudes toward Mexico
was voicod by Senators Lodge
and Fall in the Senate to-day.
Fall stated that had the Taft
administration assumed a deter
mined front at the time of the
Madero revolution two years ago,
peace would have been estab
lished.
Senator Lodge demanded that
steps be taken to protect Amerl-
can citizens whose murder by
Mexican bandits was neither
avenged by Mexico or the United
States.
WASHINGTON, July 22—A sen
sational resolution demanding inter
vention in Mexico within 30 days un
less peace be restored, and denounc
ing the Heutra regime an one of
“brute force, incendiarism, rapine and
murder,” was Introduced in the House
to-day by Representative William H.
Murray, of Oklahoma, a Democrat.
The resolution provides that the
President shall notify Mexico that
peace must be restored and that the
lives and property of American citi
zens and all foreigners sojourning in
Mexico shall be respected.
If disorder in the Mexican repub
lic continues for another 30 days the
resolution provides the President
shall intervene, “establish peace and
order and civil government, and take
possession of all public property of
the former republic of Mexico and
hold the same until every item of ex
pense and all damages for the dep
rivation of liberty or the destruction
of property of any American citizen
or citizens of any other nation has
been fully compensated out of the
Mexican revenues.’’
Gives President War Power.
It is also demanded that in the
event of intervention the President is
empowered to rehabilitate the Mexi
can Government, prepare the Mexi
cans for self-government and restore
law and order, “and the President is
authorized to use the land and naval
forces of the United States for the
accomplishment of all such pur
poses.”
The preamble of the resolution de
fends the Monroe Doctrine and as
serts that the United States is in duty
bound to protect its own citizens in
Mexico as wel as the citizens of other
nations. The refusal of this coun
try to carry out the Monroe Doctrine,
the resolution says, might Justify for
eign intervention.
Mr. Murrays resolution refers to
President Huerta as “the usurping
marauder” Huerta, the resolution
recites, "has nullified the Constitu
tion, destroyed all lawful authority
and government and has committed
upon the persons of the President
(Madero) and his family, a black
handed murder, paralleled in all his
tory only by the cruelty of the dark
ages, with all lts superstititions and
dastardly deeds of rapine and mur
der.”
“There remains in Mexico neither
rights of government nor of belliger
ent powers such as could be recog
nized,” continues the Oklahoman’s
resolution
Punishment for Guerrillas.
After warning the Mexican Gov
ernment to restore order and protect
the lives of Americans, it Is stipu
lated that this Government “shall
pursue to the ends of the earth” any
military leader or band who disre
gards the warning.
With the arrival of Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson only two days
distant, Washington is on the qui
vive for every ahift in the Mexican
situation.
Predictions are made that, by the
time Ambassador Wilson arrives, the
Huerta administration will be in
such an unstable conditon that the
envoy will not recommend that It

BINGHAMTON, N. Y., July
22.—Thirty to fifty girls are re
ported to have been killed in a
fire which broke out here this
afternoon in the Binghamton
Clothing Company’s factory.
An estimate made at 4 :30 p. m.
placed the number of dead at
fifty.
However, so much confusion exist
ed at the time that there was but
little chance of reaching an accurate
estimate. Some of those who were
taken to the hospital badly burned
or injured from their falls died a
short time later.
A number of bodies are believed
to be in the ruins of the building.
The estimate of those who were at
work *at the time the fire broke out
ranged from 140 to 200.
Women Leap to Streets.
The fire started in the overall fac
tory, which is? situated on Wall street
and fronts on the Chenango River.
It was a four-story structure.
The fire started on the ground floor
and swept into the upper structure
before the many females employed
there realized their peril.
Panic developed, women leaping
wildly from upper windows onto the
sidewalks, while many others jumped
Into the Chenango River.
Firemen reached the scene prompt
ly and aided by policemen and oit!>
zens gathered the injured in blankets
and nets and rushed them to the hos
pitals.
Flames Spreading.
It was stated it w'ould be impossi
ble io estimate the number of killed
until a check of those injured and a
check of the company’s employees
whose names appear on the payroll
could be made.
At 4 o’clock only two bodies had
been recovered, although nineteen
dead girls were plainly visible In the
ruins.
The Binghamton postoffice building
and the buildings of the MeKellar
Drug Company and Simon O’Neil har
ness goods store are also ablaze.
