July 28.—Ambas Rador Wilson’s impending conferenre with President Wilson is overshad owed by America’s demand for speedy punishment of the Federal soldiers who shot Charles B. Dixon, an Amer ican immigration officer at Juarez, and the immediate release of Charles Bissell and Bernard McDonald, who were arrested by Federals and thrown in jail at Chihuahua City for at tempting to carry refugees from Par- ral. Bissell and McDonald are said to be in danger of execution. The American demands were couched in language more mandatory and drastic than any used by the United States Government since the beginning of President Wilson’s ad ministration. It is believed any other action by the Mexican Government except unconditional compliance will be considered an affront to the United States, which may lead to strong-arm measures. Ambassador Wilson himself was so exorcised over the situation that he dictated telegrams to the American Embassy at Mexico City and the American Consul at Juarez. He de clined to comment on his messages, except to say he was still working for a continuation of the friendly re lations between the two governments. The President and the Ambassador will confer at 2:30 o'clock. Urges Bathing Skirts For ‘Unshapely’ Men CHICAGO, July 28.—A legal fight was started to-day by Dr. Rosalie M.

Three months and a day after the body of little Mary Phagan was found in the cavernous depths of the National Pencil Factory, the trial of Leo M. Frank, accused of her murder, began before Judge L. S. Roan in the Criminal Court of Georgia with a packed courtroom and a deeply stirred city almost breathlessly awaiting the outcome. There was a straining of necks as the young factory superin tendent, calm, cool and collected, in the face of the terrible ordeal confronting him, was brought into the courtroom on the first floor of the old City Ilall building to take his seat with his counsel. Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey, chief of the prosecution, de clared himself ready weeks ago and there was little time lost in beginning what promises to be the greatest legal battle over a man’s life in the history of the South. Frank Hooper sat at the Solicitor’s side. Deputy Plennie Minor called the court to order at 9 o’clock. He called the roll of the jury for the first panel of twelve men. J. H. Jones, deputy clerk, called the names. F. W. Stone, No. 82 East Linden # street, was excused on ac count of illness. R. S. Snedden was refused on an excuse on military ex emption. Only one man was excused from the first twelve men. Mrs. Frank arrived at the court house shortly after the trial started, being .summoned by a telephone call , from Julian Boehm, a ft-lend of the family. Defense Not to Ask Delay. Luther Z. Rosser, qf counsel for the defense, stated to a Georgian reporter as he left his office for the scene of the trial that he defense would make no move for delay. “We will not seek a change of venue or make any move of any kind to delay justice for our client.’’ he said. “We are entirely confident that Jus tice and truth will prevail, as it al ways must.” Reuben R. Arnold, of the defense, made the same kind of a statement. “We will announce ready a« soon as the case is called,” he said. One Important witness for the de fense was reported to be missing He is a traveling salesman, and the defense was said to be confident of locating him. Sentell in Navy Now. Edgar L. Sentell, who testified that he saw Arthur MuUlnax and Mary Phagan together at midnight of the day of the crime, has enlisted in the navy and will not be able to appear at the triAl. A great crowd gathered in front ol the courthouse as the hour of the trial drew near, and when 9 o'clock arrived. Pryor street at Hunter was almost impasseuble. The corridors of the courthouse were a mass of hu manity, through which a lane had <o be cut by deputies to allow the pas sage of witnesses and lawyers and newspaper men. The crowd was tense with curiosi ty, but to all appearances inclined to be orderly and apparently was moved only by the commonest of human mo tives—curiosity. Frank Fasling Fine. He Says. Frank was escorted from the Tower to the courthouse shortly after 6 o’clock in the morning, nearly three said, as he arrived at the courthouse. "I am glad that the trial is about to begin after this long wait. I have no fear of the outcome. I am not only innocent of the terrible crime, but I am innocent of any knowledge of it. save as the Information has come to me since the officers came to my house that morning three months ago.” At this moment E. C. Essenbach. a relative of Frank, appeared with a tempting breakfast which was spread in the prisoners’ room at the court house. Frank gave ocular proof that his appetite had not suffered from his long confinement as he proceeded to make way with the delicacies pre pared for him. Frank greeted his relative cheerful ly and conversed with him for more than an hour. The topic seldom was on the crime or the trial which was about to begin. Long before the time set for the judge to take the bench other friends and relatives of the prisoner had appeared and some of them were permitted to talk to him. Conley Ready For the Stand. Jim Conley, Frank's accuser. wa» made ready for the trial early in the morning, although it was not prob able that he would be called during the day. He was given a shave and a new suit of clothes, as he had worn for the last three months the same shab by garments that he had on at th« time he was arrested while washing a shirt at the National Pencil Fac tory. Conley said that he was ready to go on the witness stand at an in stant’s notice. He declared that he would stick to the same story that he told in his last affidavit and which he has since repeated many times for the benefit of Solicitor Dorsey. "If they had just let me face Mr. Frank, I could have made him tell the truth long before this,” he as serted. Less than half a hundred persons were waiting about the courthouse at 8 o’clock, an hour before the time set for the beginning of the trial. It was thought that not a large crowd would be clamoring for admission to the courtroom as it had become quite generally known that the small room would accommodate hardly more than the witnesses and the veniremen and MACON, July 28.—Reports from Dunbar, 15 miles south of here, where John Sake, a negro burglar. was lynched late Sunday night, indicate that everything is quiet following the excitement. The mob dispersed im mediately after the lynching and not a clew remains for the officers of the law to work on. The lynching followed the shooting of J. F. Hammock, a Dunbar mer chant. who caught Shake 1n his store Saturday night. The negro loaded his shotgun while in the store anu fired two charges* into the body of Mr. Hammock. The wounded mer chant was rushed to Macon, where he lies in a precarious condition. Immediately following the shooting a posse of more than 100 citizens gathered and pursued the negro. Bloodhounds tracked Shake into a swamp near Wellston, about 15 miles ffom the scene of the crime. Mem bers of the posse were forced to wade into the water, where they found the negro submerged up to his neck. Dragging him out, members of Hie posse rushed the negro in an automo bile back to the scene of the crime, where they strung him up to a pole and literally riddled his body with >u Ikti One-third of the seats in the Audi torium were filled Sunday afternoon for the farewell concert given by Dr. Percy Starnes And Mrs. Starnes. A program In which Mozart’s “Mag ic Flute” predominated, and which contained two compositions by the or ganist himself, was well received. The overture to Wagner’s “Tannhau- ser,” which was to have been the final number, was omitted because the organ got out of order. In its place. Dr. Starnes made a little speech of farewell. He said he would take away with him the pleasant recollec tion that his Atlanta audiences have been uniformly attentive and cordial. Dr. Starnes’ two compositions were “Improvisations Upon a Scotch Mel ody,” the air being “Auld Lang Syne,” and a song. “A Lake and a Fairy Boat,” which Mrs. Starnes nang. Passages in the improvisations were particularly happy The song was well wedded to Hood’s fanciful poem. Mrs. Starnes was best in an aria from the “Magic Flute." similar to the “Bell Song” in “Lakme,” although she sang parts of “A’for’se lui” from Verdi's “La Traviata” very w'ell. The overture to the “Magic Flute” opened the recital.

Electric fans have been Installed at every window and on the railing sep arating the spectators' seats from the bar, ozonators have been placed to keep the air purified. It probably will be the coolest and best ventilated place in Atlanta. Not more than *50 spectators will be admitted. Approximately that number of chairs have been placed outside the Inclosure. When they are “lied the doors will be closed and no one else will be allowed in. No one will be permitted to occupy standing room. Xl)£ uQUUPm Qt pertwlrypg
