he visited the rooms in which they worked.
The extent of testimony of "Boots' Ropers, former county
policeman, and J. X. Starnes, city detective, besides outlining inci
dents about the discovery of the body and the examination of the
factory building, was merely that Frank appeared nervous and :
excited when he was told of the discovery at the factory, and that
his speech at various times during the Sunday following the dis
covery seemed to be suspicious.
Solicitor Dorsey, maintaining from the tirst that the State
has framed a conclusive case against frank, is steadfast, here at
the end of the week, in declaring that he is satisfied with the re
sults and the progress made.
‘‘The ease which the State, from the evidence in its hand,
has made against Frank, seems 1o he as strong as betorc the trial,
he said yesterday.
The lawyers for the defense declined to make a statement
this Juncture, declaring that any word
from them during the prosecution’s
direct examination would appear in
delicate. It Is known, however, tha’
they are confident of the strength of
their defenRe, and are highly pleased
with results of the trial as far as It
has gone.
Girl Aids the State.
A valuable witness for the State
was Monteen Stover, a young girl
who was a companion of Mary I’ha-
gan in the factory work. Miss Stover
said Frank was not In his office about
12 o'clock. April 26, although the %,
prisoner had stated in the prelimi

desk at that time. The girl testified
she came to the office then for her

ployee of the factory, who said he

envelope, several long strands of
hair, and splotches which he was

Dr. Claude Smith, city bacteriolo

Anti Suffrage Association Says
California’s Expenses Have In
creased $3,000,000 a Year.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2.—“Creat-
Ing the millennium with the ballot,
and regardless of the staggering cost,
has been California’s beautiful dream
since woman suffrage carried the
State eighteen months ago*.
"Children are not to be separated
from their parents because of their
poverty. The State is to subsidize
the home. School teachers are to be
pensioned. Old people are to receive
un annual income. Prisoners are to
be paid for their work in the jails.
A regime of ease and comfort is to be |
drawn in the Golden State.
"And then everybody in the commu
nity will be happy—except the tax
payers who must become paupers or
criminals before they can draw' divi
dends on their investments in Califor
nia’s Utopian scheme."
This resume of a three months' in
vestigation of economic conditions in
California and of the equal suffrage
law, made by Miss Alice Hill Chitten
den. president of the New York Stale
anti-suffrage organization, is the
opening paragraph of a formal report
given out here by the Washington
headquarters of the National Associa
tion Opposed to Woman Suffrage.

that are always wide stretched and
intent, with brows always slightly
lifted, with a gaze that seems to burn.
Eyes Show His Interest.
Leo Frank unconcerned? -A man
twiddles his thumbs, glances aimless
ly here and there, is lax-muscled, va
cant-eyed. Then he is unconcerned.
But the wide-eyed stare behind the
thick nose glasses proves Frank very
much concerned. The quick shifting
of his ga2e frofti the witness to the
questioner, back and forth as ques
tion is asked and answer made,
proves him very much alive to the
proceedings.
To be sure, FVank’s face is im
mobile, except, perhaps, for the eyes.
But fixity of countenance does not al
ways go with unconcern. In this case
it is a part of the man's nature. Im
mobility is the essential part of his
physiognomy. It is the immobility
of the business man given to calcu
lation. of the gambler, of the person
given to repression.
Shrewdness is the essential factor
of Frank's character. It is the nat
ural conclusion that this should be so.
Here you have a young man, jusi 28,
who was the head of a highly capi
talized manufacturing concern, and
its head because of his own effo-is
and achievement.
He Misses Not a Syllable.
Shrewdness, too, is evident in those
wide-open eyes of his. They shift
rapidly and constantly, from witness
to lawyer, from lawyer back to an
swering witness. When theyj settle
i upon their object, they are fixed
j enough for the moment, and never
furtive. Put they linger for no time
i here nor there.
One man speaks. Frank’s eyes fix
him with the wide stare. Another an-
1 swers or interrupts. The young man's
gaze travels to him. No syllable nor
intonation is missed. All this can be-
! token nothing but a nervous, careful
nature. Nervous in the sense of pos-
. sessing mental force and high-strung
; sensibilities; not nervous in the sense
of neurotic affection. Nervousness
need not mean merely timidity.
Frank is essentially careful. Wit-
i ness again (he evidence of the young
i man rising to a position of respon-
! sibility in the business world.
All this is betrayed by tbe active
eyes. It is not to be read in*he mask
that is Frank’s face, but only in the
| eyes.
Frank is not unconcerned. Luther
' Rosser is firing questions at the wit
ness. Then Frank’s eyes are most
earnestly expres^ve. They are up-
: turned to the figure of his lawyer and
, in them there is something of in-
! genuous confidence and trust. They
are very wide then. His mouth opens
slightly. Altogether there is some
thing in that gaze like the look a child
bestows on a person toward whom he
feels something of awe.
His Face Never Changes.
Those who say Frank is uncon
cerned must surely have seen him
i during the moments when his dynam-
j j c eyes were in repose, moments like
those when the photographers were
| aiming their cameras* at him. mo-
j ments when men are not actively try-
Hid Wooden Leg Till
Divorce Is Served
Wife Refuses to Take Chances on
Husband’s L aving State Until

JOLIET. ILL.. Aug. 2.—Mrs. Anton
Kurdiana believes* all is fair in divorce
suits as in love, and she hid her hus
band's woo Jen leg when she learned
he was about to quit Illinois to pre
vent service of the prospective court
papers on him.
"Please give me my leg," Rosa,’
pleaded Kurdiana.
"It's as much my leg as it is youre
yet," answered the aggrieved wife,
who decided after nineteen days that
her marriage was a mistake.
‘T want my leg," insisted Kurdiana.
"Your leg will stay locked up in the
closet till the bailiff gets here with
the papers*. Then you can take it and
go,” rejoined Mrs. Kurdiana.
Swiss Hotels Refuse
English Bank Checks
Number of Swindles Has Caused
Bonifaces to Insist on American
Method of Paying Bills.
Special Cable to The American.
GENEVA, Aug. 2.—Owing to a
large number of recent swindles, the
Swiss hotels now refuse to accept
English checks in payment of hotel
bills. Heretofore English checks have
passed in Switzerland at their face
value, no exchange on them being
charged. A clever band of swindlers
have made u>*e of this fact and have
passed forged checks to the extent of
several thousand dollars.
The best method for tourists to use
in monetary transactions in Switzer
land, say the hotelkeepers, is the one
used by most Americans, the express
money order and tourist agency notes,
as these are accepted as cash by the
hotel proprietors.
Ing to break Ms neck or to save him.
In this, however, the watchers are
correct when they talk about his un
concern—his face never changes, for
so much as the twitch of a muscle, for
minutes and minutes at a time. The
body never shifts in the chair it occu
pies. HU* eyes move, and in the mov
ing speak, but his face hardly ever
speaks. Leo Frank, if not uncon
cerned, is at least imperturbable.
But sometimes his wife’s hand, rest,
ing on the back of his chair and
lightly touching his shoulder, pats his
arm once or twice. It is a signal from
her. His head goes around and is in
clined. his ear near her mouth. At
her whispered message he turns even
farther, and for the fleeting part of a
second looks into her eyes. His wide
mouth widens farther for the ghost of
a smile.
The whole movement is quick, ner
vous and almost abrupt. But he has
smiled.
His wife is as impassive as he. She
has none of his nervous make-up,
and, if anything, to the observer ap
peals even more unconcerned than
does her husband. But the avidity
with which she seizes upon certain
lines of evidence, bending forward to
whimper in her husband's ear. or
backward to reach one of the attor
neys, proves her interest. She smiles,
too, answering her husband’s smile.
But h°rs. like his. ta merely the blink
of a smile.
Mother Never Smiles.
Mrs. Frank, the prisoner’s mother,
never smiles. She sits against Judge
Roan's stand, her face a sad puzzle,
expressive of nothing in regard to
what is going on around her. but ex
pressive of a great deal of under
standing, sympathy and kindness.
Frank’s own face is a small..ner
vous, abnormal face and not attract
ive. It is that of a man too keenly
bright. It Is not that of an affable,
brotherly man. It is not that to at
tract other men. But the faces of his
tw'o best allies, his wife and his moth
er, are as attractive as his is unat
tractive. Both bespeak powers of
courage and of fortitude. Mrs. Frank
the wife, it seems, is capable of en
during the same trials. Frank’s face
is no advantage to him, even with its
serenity. The faces of his allies will
help him.
Frank is cool, rather than courage
ous, calculating rather than brave,
shrewd rather than daring. All this
the wide, active eyes bespeak.
But even if it were not his nature
to be thus deliberate, he probably
would bear this same appearance of
calm, surrounded as he is by every
f-*emblanco of protection. He is the
center of a cordon of friends. At. his
left Is his mother, and beyond her the
judge’s befirh. that embodiment of
safety. Behind him are two of his
lawyers, Stiles Hopkins and Herbert
Haas. At his right, close to his side,
is his* wife, and beyond her are others
of his corps of lawyers. They are all
aggressive, vigorous in his defense,
creating an atmosphere cf security
that surely must bring assurance to
him. Little wonder he is calm.
