THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS EXPECT STATE TO REST FRANK CASE IAIEDNE CONLEY TO BE CLIMAX Continued From Page 1. ptate's indictment charging strangu- Ration by declaring that this was as suredly the cause of her death, the blow on the bark of the head being Insufficient to produce more than a temporary’ unconsciousness. In the midst of his startling testi mony, which was the first evidence brought out by the State that was pot already known by the public, he pollapeed Solicitor Dorsey had planned to ask him a number of other questions, but was forced to stop •^here he was. The defense, it may fee supposed from the ungentle man ner in which they attacked the doc tor’s statements the next morning •Mth another of the State’s medical experts on the stand, also was plan ping to question Dr. Harris at length. Whether any other revelations of Importance as the result of Dr. Har pis’ examinations of the body at the first and second exhumation would have been made under the examina tion and cross-examination can only be determined when Dr. Harris again takes the stand. It also is prob lematical whether the physician will testify with such assurance and pro fessional ease when he gets under the grilling cross-fire of Reuben Arnold, who knows a little medicine and physiological causes and effects and fcffects hitnself. State to Call New Expert. The prosecution, before it finishes, has still other witnesses to call. An expert in abdominal surgery, to cor roborate the testimony of Dr. Har ris. probably will be one of them. Solicitor Dorsey would not reveal his name Monday morning. Harry Denham and Arthur White, the factory employees who w-ere on the fourth floor of the building Sat urday forenoon and in the afternoon until 3 o’clock, are expected to be questioned briefly by the Solicitor be fore he concludes the presentation of his evidence. Their testimony is not regarded as of special value, except to establish the time when Frank came to their floor to tell that he was going to leave and lock the front door. They are expected to say, In addition, that they were hammering and making a great deal of other noise and that they probably would not have noticed the running of the elevator had any one used it. Mrs. May Barrett’s . testimony is shrouded in mystery. She was seen on the fourth floor of the factory the Saturday of the crime, but what she will be able to testify Iras not been dtsclosed by the Solicitor. The first time she went to Solicitor Dorsey’s office she emerged crying hysterical ly that someone had been telling lies and that she knew nothing. Her daughter. Mrs. George Bailey, It is understood, told the authorities that Mrs. Barrett had not revealed all she knew of the day’s events. Admissions Are Reported. There was another conference be tween the Solicitor and Mrs. Bar rett. This time she is said to have made admissions which the Solicitor regarded of considerable importance in building up his case against Frank. Chief Lanford is another of the State's witnesses. The head of the detective department, however, has had in his possession little informa tion that has not already been madt public, and his testimony may be re garded as merely confirmatory of that previously given by his detectives and the police. The defense has been waiting with some degree of eagerness the placing of Lanford on the stand. Attorney Rosser has been saving a mass of In terviews that the chief gave out which, he says, Indicates that Lan ford started on the case with the firm theory that Frank was guilty, and that he excluded every possibil ity orfm his mind, working only to gather evidence that could be harm ful to the factory superintendent. Mrs. Mima Formby, the author of ‘he sensational affidavit charging that Frank called up her house sev eral times Saturday night asking per mission to bring a girl there, will not testify for the prosecution. This has been stated definitely by the lawyer* representlng the State. Jury Spends Quiet Sunday. They say that they do not believe the woman’s affidavit and. that there is no use in calling a person who they are certain has been telling pure falsehood. There Is a strong likelihood, however, that Mrs. Fombv will testify and that she will he called by the lawyers for the de fense against whose client she ut tered h**r accusation. It Is said that she will be asked to explain the origin of her affidavit and narrate all of the circumstances which preceded its writing. Frank's attorneys say that they are aware of the reason for the framing of the af fidavit and declare that when Mrs. Fomby takes the stand there will be some highly interesting testimony. The twelve Jurors spent most of their Sunday in the three rooms at the Kimball where they are quar tered. During the day they read magazines and books, played games, talked and Joked. but were kept strictly from reading any newspapers. They were taken for a walk after they ate at noon and again in the evening Most of them, retired early. A host of friends and relatives of Frank visited him at the Jail during the day. He was calm, cheerful and optimistic. Hie wife and mother did not go to the Jail, but stayed at home to rest for the ordeal of another week in the courtroom. ‘Only Rich Will Know Meat's Taste In 1923' CHICAGO, Aug 1.—There is to bo no reduction in the price of meat in the United States within the next five years. On the contrary, in 1923 meat of ..II kinds will cost so much that none but the very wealthy can eat even beef. So sayy J. T Russell, president of the National Master Butchers’ Association. “Meat sales over the nation have dropped from 35 to 50 per cent within th° last three years.

FATE TO-OflY the House Democratic Caucus. Not the Juror! His Lot, Mostly, Is Monotony A policeman’s life is not a merrv one. The thought was expressed and event set to music in those dim days of the distant past when people heard the lyrics nnci listened to the charm ing lilts of Gilbert and Sullivan opern Instead of centering their attentions on a winsome young woman with a record In the divorce courts and not fcnuch else in either ability or raiment. Gilbert and Sullivan, now being tradition, can be considered authori ties. Wherefore the thought is re peated that a policeman’s life is not a merry’ one But there are twelve Fulton county men who will say that he went too far in his statement in one way and didn’t come within a mile of ap proaching the mark in another. For after the sergeant sings “a po liceman’s life is not a merry one.*’ the chorus of constabulary cants, “t?. ran ta ra, ta ran ta ra.*’ which sounds rather joyous. The Jurors Dissent. And the Jurors with whom the fate of Leo Frank rests believe there is no more Joy in the work which is Imposed as part of their duty as citi zens of Fulton County than there is in a crutch to a man unaccustomed to using that method of transportation. They would like to be included in the category of those persons whose existence v*' as far removed from the paths of primrose as pole iAfrom pole, but they would voice violent protest against any ta ran ta ra’s. There Is much Justice in their po sition and their claims to a place high ©n the list of martyrs to the sacred cause of duty. An English humorist wrote of a poung man who kept a diary’ and abandoned the pursuit when for three days this entry was repeated: “Got up. washed, went to bed.’’ He rea sonably figured that his existence wap entirely too colorless to necessitate recording. Mostly Monotony, Their Days. ff he members of the Frank Jury are Inuich the same position. They By L. F. WOODRUFF. merely get up, wash and go to bed, with Just the added duty of sitting through hour after hour of legal bat tling that has only its brief periods of interest. They are as securely cut off from the rest of the world as they would be were they locked In Ful ton County’s Tower, and for this they are paid by the State of Georgia the munificent sum of $2 a day, that does not go far toward the purchase of the family corn meal and cabbage in these days when certain persons find it hard to live on a salary of $12,000 a year Here’s about the daily routine of the men whose duty it Is to decide the most perplexing mystery that has ever confronted the law enforcing powers of the city of Atlanta. They are quartered together In the Kimball House, and they are guarded as closely from the Intrusion of out siders as the foulest felon in a Geor gia convict camp. They all arls«e about 7 o’clock, for they have to dine together, and there is no necessity of one’s awakening before the last. They are shackled together by the orders of the court as firmly as if a convict chain was fastened on the wrist of each. They eat their meals at the Ger man Cafe, in Pryor street. The coun ty does not stint them. Judge Roan haR given orders that they be given every reasonable luxury. On their way to their meals Ihey are under close guard. A deputy leads them. A deputy acts as a rear guard. Deputies flank them on either side. Their One Dissipation. After breakfast they are allowed to take a walk—still under guard. This walk is their most rakish amuse ment. And on this walk they are taken up back streets, whore they can see nobody and nobody can see them. Imagine an Atlantan of this good year of 1913 getting his amuse ment strolling through a section as interesting as a gla>*s of stale water the morning after, and always con scious that if a friend should happen Kt say "h^io*" Jaa .would be under dire Vy suspicion of having arranged a secret code in which ‘‘hello’’ meant any thing from “$200,000 if you acquit” or “your wife w’ill quit you if you acquit." After this stroll they w r end their way to the courtroom. They are seated before the spectators enter. The court orders all the spectators to remain seated until they file out at recess. The courtroom Is not the most pleasant summer resort in the world. Atlanta has been in the throes of a hot spell constantly since the 'open ing of the trial, and then hundreds of humans are packed in a p>pace where only scores should be. The re sult Is that the ventilation of the courtroom is bad. The atmosphere is oppressive. Still the Jurors seem to be bearing the ordeal bravely. There is always a look of relief on their faces when the court orders recess. As the audiences sits, their guard of deputies forms and they file out. straight to the restaurant. When the noonday meal is concluded, there Is a chance for brief relaxation. The ju rors make most of it. The same performance is gone through with in the afternoon. When adjournment for the day Is taken, the members of the panel are taken to the hotel, wliere they bathe and don clean linen. Then they are either taken out for a walk or allowed to postpone that pleasure until after their supper. Bed Is the Exciting Climax. When bedtime comes they are usu ally fairly w’ell ready for the mat tress. ^ That Is their day, and there is a reward of $2 for those services com ing to them at the end of the trial, whenever that is “What are their amusements?" Chief Deputy Plennie Minor who is one of their most zealous guardians, was asked. Minor smiled. “I don’t know' that they have any. They talk among themselves, but they are not allowed to read any newspaper, by strict or der of the court. A few carefully- censored magazines were doled out to them for Sunday recreation. “They smoke a good deal; and. well, they talk pretty much all the time. “No one is allowed to communicate with them in any way. Every letter they receive has to be inspected by someone from our office before the Juror can read it,” he said. Aaccordingly, the Jurors get few’ letters, even though they are married men as a rule. A wife would hardly like to have a deputy peruse the inti mate secrets of family life, nor be made familiar with the pet names re served aione for her husband. “Even their linen is examined to see that there is no note of communi cation is enclosed." said Miner. These precautions are absolutely necessary. They are as necessary for th«’ protection of tie juror as they are to the assurance of a fair and honest trial The court is not trying to be severe. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4. — The House Banking and Currency Com mittee will determine at a meeting to-day whether the Glass-Owen bill shall be sent to the House Democratic caucus with a favorable report. Consideration of the bill has been completed by the committee Demo crats, but they could not reach an agreement to support the bill, even in a majority report. Many of them balk at a binding caucus order to vote for the bill, but they will take !t into caucus at the request of Pres ident Wihon. After agreeing to the Wingo amend ment. providing against int^r-locklng hoards of bank directors, the Demo crats on the committee reversed their , action, and by a vote of 7 to 5 re jected the amendment. Wingo gave notice that he w’ould press the amend ment before the caucus. The Henry plan for an industrial, commercial and agricultural currency, the latter based on corn, wheat and cotton warehouse receipts, was de feated by the committee. Democrats. Representative Ragsdale, who brought the amendment before the committee, and Representative Henry will make their fight in the caucus. If defeated there. Henry will carry the fight to the House, w’here he pro poses to get the support of the Re publicans from the agricultural belt of the Middle West. Final radifleation has been given to amendments creating an advisory council of twelve bankers to sit with the Federal Reserve Board and ad vise concerning general business con dition. discount rates, rediscount busi ness. note issues, purchase and sale of securities and gold, creation of new- reserve banks, and open market op erations by the central reserve banks. The section provides for as many members as there are Federal re serve districts, each Federal reserve bank, by its board of directors, to select annually one member, who shall receive no compensation. As an emergency measure, it is provided that reserve banks should be required when necessary to re discount the discount paper of all re serve banks under a special tax of 1 to 3 per cent. It is simply trying to preserve the in tegrity of the laws of Georgia. Small wonder then that there are men who seek to evade jury duty by failing to qualify as an elector, who hide their name.-* from the directory compilers, who serve in the militia to escape possibility of having to do the w’ork that these twelve men are doing. There is absolutely nothing to make the work one to relish. The judge, the lawyers, the detectives, the wit nesses, all are more or less in the coveted spotlight. It is doubtful if there is a man in Atlanta not Inti mately connected with the case who could name the twelve men on the Jury. They are not professional Jurors, w'ho seek the $2 a day because they are incapable of making that much money as easily in any other way. They are doing this w-ork with a sense of duty to their city, county and State. Their reward must be only a realization of a duty well done. Small wonder they do not class their lives as« merry onqp Small won der that they wish no ta ran ta ra’s. $300,000 Posted for Recovery of Necklace Special Cable to Th© Georgian. PARIS.

WHEATLAND, CAL., Auk. 4.—Five companies of State troops were un- 1 der arms here to-day to quell the expected rioting of hundreds of hop pickers who engaged in a battle with Special Effort Will Be Made to Get Vote On Measure This Week. Senator Shafroth Declares All Democrats Should Support Its Principles. Friends* of the medical practice bill w'hich has passed the Senate by the vote of 36 to 4 are making special efforts to get the measure up for ac tion In the House this week. At last year’s session the bill was not reached in the House until thq/ closing day of the session. Then it ^failed to pass by nine votes. The bill provides for a single, com posite board of medical examiners upon which each of the three recog nized schools of medicine will have , , ... .representation, instead of a separate sheriff s posse last night, killing i. .. . , , . , . j board for each school. It is designed through the composite board to keep nine and wounding 25 others. Lead ers of the Industrial Workers of the World were the guiding spirits of the rioting strikers. The dead in last night’s riot: A. E. Manwell, Marysville, district attorney; D. Rieordan, Marysville, deputy sheriff; three strikers; three other members of the posse, and a negro bystander. Sheriff and Mayor Wounded. Among the injured, seme of whom may die, were: Sheriff George H. Voss, of Marysville; Constable L. C. Anderson, of Wheatland; Marshal Scoggins, of Wheatland; Postmaster John Johnson, of Wheatland, and George Bilby, of Marysville. Many of the strikers were reported suffer ing from fatal injuries to-day. The striking hop pickers, urged on by the I. W. W. agitators, attacked the small sheriff’s posse that had en tered the strike region to preserve quiet. The strikers had demanded higher wages, and when this demand was refused, walked out of the fields. Jap Workers Are Cause. The leaders asserted they were ag grieved because of the low w-agos and the presence of Japanese work ers in the fields where they were picking. In addition to the troops on dutv here 300 citizens of Wheatland, arm ed and in charge of Police Chief Mc Coy, of Marysville, were kept m readiness to quell trouble that was expected to start to-day. There were about 500 hop pickecv on strike, and the 1. W. W. leaders were trying to add to th* ir forces by calling out the pickers from all the surrounding farm*. ^ in closer and more intimate touch with the medical practice situation in the State and to make fraud more difficult. The eight members of this‘board are to be appointed by the Governor, and to hold two meetings each year for examining applicants for license to practice. The fee for each appli cant is fixed at $20, and from the money thus collected all the expenses of the board are to be met. Applicants for license to practice medicine are required to have gradu ated from a legally incorporated medical college, and to be of good moral character. Successful appli cants are required to register their licenses with the clerk of the Superior Court in which they wl«h to practice and the clerk is required to make a regular report to the board of all registrations. Medical colleges whose students are applicants for license to practice in Georgia are subject to approval by the board. Under the present law there are required of the studont only three terms of seven month? each, whereas the proposed law requires four terms of eight months each- requirement now made by all stan dard medical colleges. For entrance to a medical college there Is required a preliminary literary education equivalent to fourteen Carnegie units, which is practically the same as a standard high school education, such is required for entrance into any college or university. Funeral Designs and Flowers FOR ALL OCCASIONS. Atlanta Floral Company, 455 EAST PAIR STREET. WASHINGTON, Auk. 4.—Senator Shafroth, of Colorado, who fought hard in caucus to prevent putting sugar on the free list, but who will support the tariff bill in the Senate, rays he is a firm believer in reci procity. ‘The general principles of reci procity should receive th© support of l| Democrats, in my judgment,” says Mr. Shafroth. “We have in the pend, ing bill a provision that will justify the President in making reciprocal arrangements with other countries. We also have given to him the power to imposet diecriminating duties against those nations that deal un fairly with us or discriminate against us. That power will be beneficial. “I have always been in favor of the largest market it is possible to ob tain for the American producer and manufacturer, and reciprocal trade agreements have done much to insure those markets. If these trades are based upon the admission into this country of articles that do not com pete with our own producers, we give our consumers that grade of necess i At tie®* at a reduced cost. In return for J 13. that concession to the foreigner we give our produce and manufacturer the opportunity to export under th*' most favorable conditions and that increases business here at home. An enlarged market means more work for more men. at least insures against a reduction in wages if it does not increase them, and put? more money in. circulation. Reciprocity is a sound principle and should be applied wherever possible.” Negro Thief, Roped, Gets Scare of Life COLUMBUS, Aug. 4 —Thinking he was going to be lynched when C. B. Grimes, a merchant of Columbus, tied a rope around his neck to prevent him from getting away, George Thomas, a negro, created a scene in front of .Grimes’ store, where he had store, where he had stolen a pair o1 trousers. The negro had entered the store, stolen the trousers and started oui hurriedly u’hen he attracted Grimes' attention. The merchant started aft er him, and after a short chase cap tured the negro, tying th? rope around his neck.
