Frogs Oust Mice as Bogies of Fair Sex PORT CLINTON, OHIO, July 23.— Thousands of frogs are migrating overland from the marshes of Lake Erie and the Portage River to San dusky Bay. In the evenings when they lift, up their voices their num bers seem to have been multiplied to millions. They fill the roads and streets and hundreds hop into homes. Nervous women have become more afraid of the clammy little frogs than of the proverbial mice. APPEAL IN IU1 A. Papal Guards Must Obey Orders or Quit Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.

Governor Upsets Predecessor’s Precedent by Carrying Suit to U. S. Supreme Court. Governor Slaton Wednesday morn ing instructed Attorney General Thomas S. Felder and James K. Hines, special attorney for the Rail road Commission, to appeal to th£ United States Supreme Court in the State’s suit against the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company, seeking to restrain the company from charg ing higher rates than those fixed by the Georgia standard tariff and classification. The appeal for injunction by the State was turned down by the Su perior and Supreme Courts. Governor Slaton’s act is directly contrary to that of Governor Brown, who. when the State Supreme Court ruled against the State, instructed the Attorney General not to appeal, hold ing i^would be of no avail. The Governor acted upon the ad vice of the Attorney General and Mr. Hines, who, immediately after his inauguration, urged him to order an appeal.

She thought the detectives were mistaken in believing that her broth er knew anything about the crime. He slept practically all the day that Mary Phagan was murdered, she de clared, and didn't even go downtown to see the Memorial Day parade, al though he was urged by one of hib friends. He was working nights for the Southern Railway at this time, according to the sister, joining the show people a few days later She failed to explain why he sud denly had left town without stopping to recover the gold ring of consider able value which he had left at the Fine Jewelry store. Gantt Sees Solicitor. J. M. Gantt, a discharged employee of the National Pencil Factory, who Wednesday conferred with Solicitor General Dorsey and Attorney Frank A. Hooper, denied that he made the startling statement to them that he saw at 1 o’clock on the day that Mary Phagan was murdered Jim Conley Coming of The Sunbeam Mow to Avoid Those Pains and Dis tress Which so Many Mothers Have Suffered. in r i huh » (inn e. Intimation that Gantt contemplated making such a statement to the pros ecution is said to have come to the defense in an anonymous letter some time ago. The writer said in effect: I was standing mi the street the other day and heard Gantt talking to some other felloe He told this fel low that he had stood across the street Saturday, April 26, and had looked through the window of the factory and seen Jim Conley talking to Frank in Frank’s office. “I don't think Gantt has told this to the Solicitor yet, and, as he Is not in very good financial condition, 1 think that he might be persuaded to keep it quiet if he was sent a little money.” No attention was paid to the letter. Lee Grilled Again. Gantt, the Solicitor and attorney j were in the jail together. They re mained two and a quarter hours ques tioning Newt Lee closely They went over practically the same ground that was covered in the inquest, quizzing him about his actions the day of the murder and his where abouts every minute during the time before he reported at thq factory and about Frank’s manner when he met him at the factory. Lee stuck to his previous story, and declared that lie knew nothing about the crime until he came upon the body that night. They asked him how he happened io go into the basement at that time, and he made the same ex . planation that he gave before the Coroner's Jury. Lee said that he did not see Conley j there that night and did not even) know Conley by sight. In the after- , noon It was planned to take Conley j from the police station to the Jail to confront Lee and question the two to gether. Judge Ellis Joins Beavers in Vice War Judge W. D.

Frank has in Its possession a bloody club, alleged to have been found by two Pinkerton detectives on May 10 in the National Pencil factory, and with which, it is reported, the defense will contend Mary Phagan was plain by James Conley, the negro sweeper. Asserting that he knows nothing whatever of the alleged bloody club, Chief Lanford declared that, if Pin kerton detectives found such a wea pon on May 10, or any other date, they had failed to report the faet to him. Failure to officially report such a find would he regarded as a breach of the pact between the city detectives and the Pinkertons, as the latter officers, while employed by the pencil factory, have been working hand in hand with city detectives, with the understanding that any evi dence they unearthed would be com municated to detective headquarters. Has Received No Report. “If Pinkerton detectives found a bloody club In the pencil factory they certainly should have reported that fact to me at once—I have received no such report.” said Chief Lanford. The police regard as significant the attifude of Harry Scott, who is man aging the Pinkerton investigation, and who. subsequent to May io, has continued to assert his belief in the guilt of Frank. Chief Lanford characterized the al leged finding or the club as an “ab surdity.” and scouted the Idea of U having any bearing on the case. He !• tisfled : t said, that it win ihavar figure as evidence. The chief said .he only club found in the pencil factory, of which he had any knowledge, was a small section of broom handle, about a foot in length, which hung by a cord besicie the desk of Leo M. Frank in the lat ter's private office. Broom Handle Was Found. This "club” bore no blood stain#, he said, and showed no evidence of having ever been used as a weapon President to Free Four Life-Termers LEAVENWORTH. KANS., July 23 T A. Keating.

It was too light to have done any damage had a blow been struck with it, he said. Chief Lanford treated the bloody club story in the manner of a joke. “Do you see a club there?” re marked the Chief, pointing to a per fectly clear spot on his office floor, when asked ns to the reported find by the Pinkertons. "Well, that's the answer." he con tinued. ‘There is Just as much of a bloody club lying there on that floor as there was on the floor of the pencil factory, where it is said the Pinker tons found their bloody club. The whole thing Is absurd and will have no bearing whatever on the case of Frank. I’m satisfied this mysterious club will never be introduced in evi dence. No Weapon Was Found. “When it is recalled that the very spot that yielded up this bloody club was searched thoroughly more than a dozen times by numerous officers prior to May 10 and no club nor other weapon was found, the ridiculousness of this story is apparent. We search ed that factory from top to bottom and bottom to top. closely investigat ing every conceivable place for weap ons or any other bit of evidence that might throw light on the mystery, and yet no club was found. ‘There’s absolutely nothing to it. ‘In Frank’s private .office we found a small piece of broomstick, hang ing by a cord beside his desk. There were no blood stains on it, and it showed no evidence of having been used as a weapon. In the first place, it was too light to serve as a weapon. This was the only club found in the factory at the time any possible weap ons should have been found and would have been found.” Date Still in Doubt. Reuben Arnold said Wednesday that the defense would ask for • no continuance of the Frank case except for such imperative reasons as the absence of material witnesses or the illness of counsel. Luther Rosser. I chief of counsel, also has indicated that no move will be made by the de fense for further delay in the trial unless an emergency arises of the sort described by Attorney Arnold. Informal conferences between the counsel in the Crawford will case and those in the Frank case, in both of which Rosser and Arnold appear j as attorneys, have resulted in the announcement that the persons in terested in the Crawford hearing are | willing to waive the priority of their case and permit the Frank trial to go on Monday. SENATE ACTS TO ENFORCE WEBB EIQUDR El Passes Hixon-Searcy Bill—Fight Rages Over 3-Gallon Burden of Proof Clause. By a vote of 36 to 3 the Senate Wednesday afternoon passed the Hix on-Searcy prohibition bill providing for the enforcement of the Webb bill in Georgia. The bill makes It unlawful for any firm or corporation to transport liq uor into the State for illegal purposes and places the burden of proof of such legality upon the shipper when quantities in excess of three gallons are shipped. Three-Gallon Clause Attacked. It was around the three-gallon pro vision as recommended in the Tem perance Committee substitute that the fight centered Wednesday morn ing. Senator Hlxon. chairman of the committee and author of the original bill, and Senator Searcy, vice chair man of the committee, Opposed this provision on the ground that the whole burden of proof should be placed on the carrier. This was vigorously opposed, how ever, by Senator McNeil, of the Twenty-second, a member of the committee, who declared that such a provision was an unjust burden upon the carrier. Senator Harrell, of the Twelfth, also opposed the Hixon-Searcy meas ure, declaring that the measure was an effort to punish the innocent car rier rather than the illegal "blind tiger” within the State. Increase in Crime Charged. As the bill stands the burden of proof of iliegal sale is placed on the State when quantities less than three gallons are shipped into the State. Several amendments, including those of Senator Hlxon. striking out the three-gallon clause, were voted Mown before the final passage of the bill. In the course of the debate sensa tional statements were made by Sen ator McNeil, "a prohibitionist in re striction.” who declared that under the present prohibition law with its “nefarious remits,'* felonies in the State had increased 66 per cent.
