f .1 UK, ALLAN I A ULUm.lAN A.M) M'ANISk TIL BF FRANK Sidelights on GEORGIA POLITICS Negro Lee on Stand as First Day's Sessions End—His Tes timony Hits Prisoner, Continued from Page Two. JAMES B.NEVTN H. Townsend. No. 84 Whitehall ter race, cashier Central Bank and Trust Corporation. W. S. Medcalf, No. 136 Kirkwood avenue, circulation department of The Atlanta Journal. C. J. Bosshardt, No. 216 Bryan street, pressman Foote & Davies. Bosshardt, the twelfth Juror chosen, was the last venireman in the last panel that had been called Defore the court at the opening of court in the morning. He was picked at exactly 1:26 o’clock and at 1:30 the recess was taken until 3 o’clock. Attorney Rosser took very little part in the selection of the Jury, ex cept to interject a suggestion now and then. He evidently was reserv ing his strength for the real struggle Lo come. Shortly before 2 o’clock Leo Frank was taken into a room adjoining the juryroom, where he was served with a special dinner provided for him by his relatives. Frank’s mother and wife were allowed to converse with him while he ate the dinner. He will remain in this room until the court reconvenes at 3 o’clock. Wife and Mother With Frank. Frank, accompanied by his wife and his mother, was brought into the courtroom at 10:30 o’clock. The strik. ing of the jury was begun at once. A half dozen of Frank’s friends in terrupted the order of the court for several minutes by clustering about him and shaking hand? with him. If there was any fear in the heart of the young prisoner it did tyot show in* his calm features. He seemed per fectly assured and self-possessed. Ho nodded pleasantly to the judge and greeted his friends with a smiles. After the stir had subsided, cover ing the entrance of Frank, his wife and mother, the trio took seats In a semi-circle just below' the bench. Frank and his mother took a good look at the jurors in the first panel that was brought in. The prisoner scrutinized each one closely as he was quizzed by the prosecutor to deter mine his qualifications. Wife Fixes Gaze on Dorsey. Mrs. Frank displayed no sign of emotion until she suddenly found that she was facing Solicitor Dorsey. Then inger appeared to blaze from her eyes She seldom removed her gaze from the Solicitor’? face during the fore noon. If Dorsey was aware of the young woman's scrutiny, he made no sign and proceeded with the case in rapid fashion. Occasionally Mrs. Frank would turn to her husband and nod toward the Solicitor as though she was ridicul ing the efforts to convict Frank. Mrs. Frank was attired in a becoming suit of black and wore a black hat trim med with black chiffon; also a black veil was drawn up over her hat. A black and white ribbon led to her watch in the pocket of her white silk ws.ist. Two brilliant diamonds shone on the engagement finger of her left hand. Frank occupied a seat between his wife and mother. He conversed with them alternately, at no time appear ing nervous or the least apprehen sive. His attitude was noticeably even more calm than at the time when he appeared before the Cor oner’s jury. Frank Aids Attorney*. Frank spoke frequently to his at torneys, whom he was near, and made suggestions while the jurors were be ing qualified. When each new panel was brought in he looked intently in to the face of each man. beginning at the upper row and shifting his gaze from man to man until he had scrutinized them all. Not infrequently, w'hen the Solici tor had closed his examination and had said, “Juror, look on prisoner; prisoner, look on juror,’’ Frank would turn to Attorney Arnold and an In stant later the announcement would be made, “Storuck by the defense.” Frank evidently was playing a large part In the striking of jurors by the defense. The dagger-like gaze of Mrs. Frank seldom was removed from the So licitor’s face. Frequently she em- » braced all those at Dorsey’s table In her scornful glance. Wife Caresses Prisoner. Chief of Detectives Newport A Lanford, whose department unearthed much of the evidence, happened to be pitting at her right. She turned to him while he was glancing over pa pers as if she were about to speak her mind to him, but thought better of it. v Once in a while she took her eyes from the Solicitor’s table to lay her hand affectionately upon her hus band’s phoulder and draw him toward her to whisper in his ear. Once when she discovered the reporters eyeing her, she smiled mischievously and im mediately whispered the .information to Frank. Frank’s mother sat quietly through the routine of examining the venire men. She spoke to her son frequent ly, directing her glance at the pros pective jurors as though commenting on their fitness. SAYS JAIL CAUSES RHEUMATISM. COLUMBUS.—Claiming that he is suffering from rheumatism and that confinement in jail is making it worse, \V. L. Taylor, of Taylor County, charged with embezzling $7.66 from the Govern ment, is seeking to have his bond of 400 reduced to an amount he can fur nish. There seems to be little, if anv, doubt that the Legislature is to hurry along the general tax act, just as It has hurried along the general appro priations bill. .There are, counting to-day, exact ly fourteen working days left to tn° Legislature’s credit. This doe* not include two Saturdays and two Suu- days, however. It, therefore, may De seen that th? Legislature can, If it will, place both the appropriations bill and the tax acts—the general tax act, at least— in the hands of the Executive ten days ahead of adjournment, as he has requested. if this is done—and it likely will be done—the present Legislature will have accomplished a record of speed nev er before equaled in the history of the State. Despite all the complaining and criticism to the contrary*, the present Legislature has been the most prompt, within the memory of any Georgian, in the matter of passing the two vitally big and necessarj measure* of the session—the general appropria tions bill and the general tax act. Credit must be awarded the com mittee heads, the committees and the Speaker for this remarkable achieve ment, and President Anderson has given his assurance that the prompt ness of the House shall be duplicated in the Senate this week and next. Taken altogether, the record of the Legislature as made up for this ses sion is all right and a credit. It is, indeed, far better than usual. Mr. Shuptrine, of Chatham is very much opposed to the measure permit ting the addition of a kindergarten system to the public schools of the State. Mr. Shuptrine doe* not believe the Constitution of the State contem plates anything of the kind. and. moreover, he thinks it would be bfit the first step in the direction of grea*- ly expanding the school fund, already smaller than the necessities of the State seem to warrant. “If we permit this innovation, not warranted in the fundamental law at all. we shall have application made within the life of the preaent Legis lature, perhaps, for more funds *o meet the kindergarten requirements,” said Mr. Shuptrin to-day. "I know that it is proposed to add this feature to the school system without additional appropriations to cover it, but that is merely a sop to pet the bill on the statute books. Once we Inaugurate this sy#terfi, we shall have to take care of it. and it will be argued that funds as now appropr*- ated are not sufficient to handle '.he new department. “Georgia already is dealing most generously with her schools—she is straining the limit to take care of them—and I am not complaining so much about that. But I do think it would be a sad mistake to add any further burdens to her budget—and certainly along the line of providing public education to tots from 4 to 6 years of age." Senator M. C. Tarver has aban doned foi* the present his effort to get the Representatives and Senators of the various counties affected, in terested in the proposed Chickamau- pa Judicia 1 circuit.” “The bill could rot bg passed at this session.” said Mr. Tarver, “for sev eral of the Representatives of the counties proposed for the new cir cuit are opposed to any change of the present arrangement. Others, w'hile desiring a change, couldn’t get to gether on an arrangement of counties that was mutually satisfactory.” Mr. Searcey’s bill to make the buyer and the seller equally' guilty in “blind tiger' 1 cases, was killed in the Senate, upon the theory that it af fords the “blind tiger” exactly the protection he desires, rather than re tards him in the operation of his business. "The one thing a ‘blind tiger dreads above all other things,” said a Senator, discussing the bill, “is that among his numerous customers may be one who will tell. “This bill removes that dread, for anybody who reported a ‘tiger’ under this measure would become a crimi nal himself. Besides, because of the law which excuses a man from in criminating himself in testifying, this man would become immediately in competent as a witness. “It is hard enough now* to convict ‘blind tigers' and it w’ould be a thou sand times harder under this law. “Prohibitionists w'ho seek to go the limits this bill proposes are to be commended for their zeal, perhaps, but surely not for their common sense. This bill is sound enough In theory, if you view it from a certain angle, but It falls to pieces as a prac tical measure and would defeat the very object Its author had In mind when he framed it.” The Senate ^feated the measure bv a vote of 18 To 22, which was not such a w'ide margin of defeat, after all. MAULS MAN FOR TALKING 10 WIFE W. M. Sexton. No. 18 Gaskill street, Monday morning remarked to Re corder Broyles that he had “cautioned this guy about talking to his wife,” in explaining why* he attacked W. L. Patterson, of No. 57 Powell street, Sunday' night .at the close of services in St. Luke’s Methodist Church ; n Powell street. Patterson told the court that Sexton is "insanely jealous.” Sexton, who is separated from his wife, attacked Patterson a short dis tance from the church after he had seen him talking to Mrs. Sexton in side of the church. Patterson said Mrs. Sexton called to him after the congregation had been dismissed, and that he meant no harm by conversing with her. He said Sexton lay in wait for him in a dark spot in Powell street ami assailed him with metal knticks. Sexton denied this. The two men were pummeling one another vigorously when interrupted by Detective Coker and Policeman Boggus. who were on their way home from the church service. Met«l knucks were found on the groun 1. Patterson displayed an abrasion m his head, which he said was made by the knucks. When Sexton told Judge Broyles he had warned his wife not to talk to other men, the Recorder Informed him that as he was separated from his wife he had no rieht to beat up every person he saw talking to her.’’ The Jealous husband was fined $25.75 and the case of Patterson was dismissed. DIDN’T EVEN KICK. NEW YORK. July 28.—Accused of driving a mule with a sore on its neck. Thomas Slater, freed himself by hitting the mule on the alleged sore. The mule did not move, and the jury acquitted Slater. Tries to Assassinate Portuguese Premier Special Cable to The Georgian. LISBON, July 28.—A delayed re port filtered out of here to-day show ing that an attempt to assassinate Premier Dr. Affonsa Costa was made Saturday. A man named Cunha Neves has been arrested. A strict censorship is being put on all mes sages. Revolutionary activities are re ported from many centers Resolution Providing for Its Re consideration Adopted—White washing of Soule Opposed. The adoption of a resolution calling for the reconsideration of the yearly prohibitum bill, making the selling «>f fiejuor purchased from a “blind tig°r‘j a ’(misdemeanor, which was defeateil in flie Georgia Senate Friday, feature ■ the ses i *ion Monday. The bill prob ably will come up again ihis week un der special order rule. A hot fight is expected. Senators Foster and Hixon ofTered a resolution "whitewashing’’ the charges ngainst President A. M. Soule, of the State Agricultural College. It set.? forth that President Soule has ren dered valuable service which should be recognized by the withdrawal of the charge*’, now pending in the House. The resolution will he con sidered Tuesday. That a b'tter content will take place w'hen it is pr' sented for adoption was Indicated Monday by' Senator Mc Gregor. who declared he would fight the measure to the last ditch, on the grounds that It is a “complete ‘white wash 1 without any sort of investiga tion.” The most important new bill intro duced In the Senate Monday was that by Senator McGregor, limiting the pow’er of the Governor in calling out troops in ca?e of disorder. The bill aims to take the State militia out of the so-called police jurisdiction, and requires affidavits by civil authorities before the Governor may call out troops. Senator Tarver’s bill providing for the appointment of a State commis sion to investigate conditions as re gards drug upers, with a view to estab lishing a State sanitarium for them, was passed by the Senate. Senator Bush’s bHl making the State Superintendent of Education an ex-officio member of the eleven agri cultural schools of the State was lost after President Randolph Anderson made a fight on the measure. Senator McNeil’s bill providing for a new Great Seal of State, changing the date 1799 to 1776, commemorating the Declaration of Independence, was sent back to the committee. Clarence H, Mackay Sued for $2,000,000 NEW YORK. July 28 —That Clar ence H. Mackay, to keet> up the pace of a millionaire 1 * sen. borrow ed heav ily in Wall Street and failed to pay back aftei he had inherited $40,000,- 000 from the estate of his father, is charged in a suit brought by W. L. Stow, a broker, for an accounting of more than $2,000,000. The plaintiff was at the head of the firm of W. L. Stow A Co., which failed for $6,000,000 some years ago. He charges that Mr. Mackay is directly responsible for that failure by failing to meet obligations contracted in a pool organized to buy and control stocks and bonds of the Mexican Cen tral Rajhvay.

ATHENS, July 28.—The terms of the armistice and peace between the other Balkan States and Bulgaria will be arranged at Bucharest.

STARNES BIDS E 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 w'ell received. The overture to Wagner s "Tannhau- ser," which was to have been the final number, was omitted because the organ got out of yrder. In its place, Dr. Starnes made a little speech of farew'^1. He said he w'ould take away with him the pleasant recollec tion that his Atlanta audiences have been uniformly attentive and cordial. Dr. Starnes 1 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 sang. && 2ASH0RE EXCURSION AUGUST 7.

Sayre, kings and princes of for eign nations will flood the White House with costly gifts.

July 28.—"Ambas sador Wilson—2:30 o’clock.” This simple announcement, placed at the bottom of President Wilson's official list of callers to-day. was the only indication at the White House that the most momentous conference at the White House scheduled since President Roosevelt maneuvered the Russian-Japanese peace conclave was due to take place.
