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.

She brought the monkeys with her and will present them to the zoo. Cigarette Paper Romance Is Ended Bride Found When She Writes Name on Smoke Leaf Now Seeks Separation. 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 ments when men are not actively try- Men Tennis Players To Appear in Skirts Novel Handicap Match Is Provided for Members of Club in Berkshires.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—No more drink ing—not even the humble beer—for the railroad man hereafter, if the big transportation companies take the same view as the congress of alien ists and neurologists who recently completed their sessions at the Hotel Sherman. The gathering passed recommenda tions for total abstinence, and for reg ular investigations to determine thj mental soundness of railway em ployees. The resolutions have added signifi cance because they followed an ad dress on the subject by Dr Theodor * Dilier. of Pittsburg, who had be?n sent to the congress by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Hot Fried Chicken Ends Hunger Strike Negro Forgets Plan When He Smells Savory Pullet and Sees Watermelon. ELIZABETH. N. J„ Aug. 2—The manner in w hich Warden Charles W. I Dodd, of the county jail, broke up a “hunger strike” to-day may set a use ful example, he thinks, to the keepers of English prisons who become cus todians of suffragettes. William Tur ner, a negro prisoner incarcerated last Sunday, sought to gain his lib erty by refuting to eat. This morn ing the negro had been 48 hours with out food, when Warden Dodd ap peared at the door of his cell with a steaming plate of fried chicken and a largo section of juicy watermelon l) ne sniff and Turner s "hunger strike" came to an abrupt end.

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. Coffins Are Used as Wedding Decorations Man Four Time Widower and Wo man Three Time Widow Defy Superstition. MESA. ARIZ., Aug. 2.—Three times wedded in church and efech time widowed within a few* months or years, not to speak of a house cer emony, which also ended fatally, Marshal Mosbarger has grown super stitious in regard to his weddings. An undertaking parlor was the scene of his marriage to Mrs. Etta X ucetta Crandall, who, incidentally, herself has been three times widowed Mosbarger and Mrs. Crandall stood before the clergyman in a room, the walls of which were lined with cabi nets Ailed with coffins. Both ex pressed confidence that the venture would prove more fortunate than previous ones.

ILL., Aug. 2—Mrs. Anton Kurdiana believes* all is fair in divorce suits as in love, and she hid her hus band’s wooJen leg when she learned he was about to quit Illinois to pre vent sendee of the prospective court papers on him. # “Please give me my leg,” Rosa,” pleaded Kurdiana. “It’s as much my leg as it is yours yet,” answered the aggrieved wife, w r ho 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.

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. Would you have a slim, youthful figure?

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 check* 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.

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.
