pan pirl, and that he seldom talked with the factory pirls when
he visited the rooms in which they worked.
The extent of testimony of “Hoots'’ Ropers, former county
policeman, and J. N. Starnes, city detective, besides outlining inci
dents about the discovery of the body and the examination ol the 1
factory building, was merely that Frank appeared nervous and
excited when he was told of the discovery at the laetory, and that j
his speech at various times during the Sunday following the dis
covery seemed to be suspicious.
Solicitor Dorsey, maintaining from the first 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 case which the State, from the evidence in its hand,
has made against Frank, seems to be as strong as before the trial,’
he said yesterday.
The'lawyers for the defense declined to make a statement at
this Juncture, declaring that any word
from them during the prosecution's
direct examination would appear In
delicate. It is known, however, that
they are confident of the strength of
their defense, and are highly pleased
with results of the tria^ 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 1’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
nary investigation that he was at his
desk at that time. The girl testified
she came to the oflice then for her
pay.
Anotherwaa R. 1'. Barrett, an em
ployee of the factory, who said he
found a portion of Mary Phagan's
envelope, several long strands of
hair, and splotches which he was
sure were blood stains, under a lathe
on the second floor of the factory.
Dr. Claude Smith, city bacteriolo
gist. testified that the dark stains on
the second floor were blood stains.
Mrs. Arthur White, wife of one of
the employees of the factory, was one
of the last of the .State’s witnesses
called before the week-end recess
was taken. She said she had seen a
negro hiding behind a pile of boxes
near the factory entrance the day of
the murder and that later, when she
entered Frank’s office, she saw him.
She spoke to him and he Jumped
fcharply, she said.
It Is likely that the trial will con
tinue far into this w r eek, probably
consuming all of it.

Cigarette Paper
Romance Is Ended

ST. LOUIS, Aug. 2.—The romance
of Edwmd K tnbrotigh, of York, Nebr..
and Miss May Lauk, which begin
when Kimbrough bought a package
of cigarette papers upon one of which
Miss Lauk had written her name and
address, apparently is permanently
closed.
Kimbrough hav returned to York
and the former Miss Lauk is
I living at the home of her mother.
B« fore leaving Kimbrough told his
bride he never could learn to like St.
I Louis, was tired of the treatment he
| was getting and would do all he could
to aid her in getting a divorce.
Everybody says in his heart that he
knows human nature, that he can
read guilt or Innocence, sensuality jt
asceticism, calm or perturbation in
the face of another. Everybody,
armed to his own satisfaction with
this power of divination, has gone
to the trial of Leo Frank to watch the
man who is charged with the murder
of a little girl, the most brutal and
conscienceless of murders.
The young man who Is thus the
center of all eyes sits apparently un
conscious of the multiple gaze that
continue all day long. Those who go
to watch him declare a variety of
opinions—that he is calloused or that
he Is conscience-clear, that he scorns
the outcome of the trial whatever It
may be, or that he is serene in his in
nocence.
The watchers generally admit, how-
ever, that he is unconcerned.
But in the finding of this verdict
they do not see the eyes of the man
By TARLETON COLLIER.
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-eydd stare behind the
thick nose glasses proves Frank very
much concerned. The quick shifting
of his gaze from 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, Frank’s face is im
mobile, except, perhaps, for the eyes.
But fixity of countenance does not al
ways go wdth 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, just 23.
who was the head of a highly capi
talized manufacturing concern, and
its head because of his own efforts
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 they settle
upon their object, they are fixed
enough for the moment, and never
furtive. But they linger for no time
here nor there.
One man speaks. Frank's eyes fix
him with the wide stare. Another an
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
ness again the evidence of the young
mnn rising to a position of respon
sibility in the business world.
All this is betrayed bv the active
eyes*. It is not to be read in the mask
that is Frank's face, but only in the
eyep.
Frank is not unconcerned. Luther
Rosser is firing questions at the wit
ness. Then Frank’s eyes are most
earnestly expressive. 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 openz
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
during the moments when his dynam
ic eyes were in repose, moments like
those when the photographers were
aiming their cameras* at him. mo

Anti Suffrage Association Says
California’s Expenses Have In

WASHINGTON', Aug. 2.—“Croat-
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
an annual Income. Prisoners are to
be paid for their work in the jaiis.
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 State
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.

ing to break his 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. His 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 f
a smile.
The whole movement Is quick, ner
vous and almost abrupt. But he has
smiled.
His wife Is as impasrive as he. She
ha3 none of his nervous make-up,
and, if anything, to the observer ap
pears even more unconcerned than t
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 hers, like his, is 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
two 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
semblance of protection. He is the
center of a cordon of friends. At his
left is his mother, and beyond her the
judge’s bench, that embodiment of
safety. Behind him are two of hi3 /
lawyers, Stiles Hopkins and Herbert
Haas. At Ms 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.

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

The best method for tourists to use

COURTROOM STUDIES OF LEO FRANK
Three typical poses of the defendant in the famous Phagan ease are shown, while in the up
per left of the picture is a study of Luther Rosser, his leading counsel. Here is what a study of
Frank's face reveals: His face is immovable, except, perhaps, for the eyes. But fixity of coun
tenance does not always go with unconcern. In this ease it is a part of the man’s nature. Im
mobility is the essential part of bis physiognomy. It is the immobility of the business man
given to calculation, of the gambler, of the person given to repression.
