DEFENSE PLANS EXPERT
ATTACK ON DR. HARRIS
: Ralph Sims and Two
Young Women Hurt
In Auto Accident
The overturning of an automobile
at the junction of Hapeville and
Brovtfn’s Mill road at midnight Satur
day resulted in a broken arm for
Ralph Sims and severe bruises for
two young women, who were taken
to a sanitarium. Sims is the son of
John M. Sims and a brother of Claude
E. Sims, the real estate man.
The accident occurred while the
machine was passing a wagon on a
narrow road. Grass growing along
the edge of the road caused the driver
to think solid ground was there, but
instead there is a 24-foot sheer drop.
The car toppled down this, and but
for the fact that it was traveling
slowly the accident probably would
have resulted fatally.
Nurses in charge at the sanitarium
declined to make public the names of
I the young women, but it is understood
they are well known in Atlanta.

4 Atlantans on Hike
j John Bind, special diplomatic envoy
' from the United States safely arriv-
\ ing in the capital, the first real step
in President Wilson’s program for the
' pacification of Mexico so as to make
j intervention unnecessary was taken
! today when Mr. Lind turned over to
1 Nelson O’Shaughnessy, Charge d’Af-
fairs of the United States Embassy,
a note from President Huerta so that
I it might be handed to the Mexican
’ Government through the regular dip-
I lomatic channels.
However, a supplementary mes
sage, explaining Mr. Lind's presence
here and assuring President Huerta
of the peaceful nature of his visit
probably will be tendered personally
by Mr. Lind to the Mexican execu
tive.
Although no hostile demonstration
attended the arrival here late last
night of Mr. Lind from Vera Cruz,
nevertheless there was an undercur
rent of feeling which caused at
taches of the United States Embassy
to warn Mr. Lind to be on guard for
his life.
Out of common courtesy the mu
nicipal authorities at the behest of
President Huerta, offered to place
secret police at the disposal of the
special envoy for his own safety.
Huerta’s next move in the diplo
matic contest with the United States
will be awaited with keen interest to
day. Those who have believed all
along that the Mexican President has
been carrying on a Monumental bluff
in his defense of the United States
look now for him to crumple up and
accede to proposals which are brought
here by th e American envoy for the
pacification of the country.

M EX VICO CITY, Aug. 11—With
Continued From Page 1.
week ago he glibly told of seeing the
Phagan girl enter the factory, and
then of hearing the footsteps of two
persons going from Frank’s office to
the-rear of the factory. He said that
a moment later he was startled by a
girl’s scream. This did not prevent
him. however, from dropping to sleep
on the box at the foot of the stairs
until he was aroused by Frank's sig
nal, according to his tale.
He was asked particularly by the
reporters in regard to seeing the Pha
gan girl enter the factory and hearing
her scream. He denied them both.
“I couldn’t have heard her from
where I was sitting." is the reply he
is reported to have made to one of
his interviewers.
It is the purpose of the defense not
to leave one single statement of the
negro unchallnged in so far as it in
volves Leo Frank. The superintend
ent’s lawyers realize that if they
permit any portion of Conley’s story
to go before the ju»y as the truth,
they may as well let it all go. Aside
from the character witnesses, several
score in number, practically all of the
persons who will be called to the
stand during the present week will
participate in the hammering that is
being given the regro's testimony on
the witness stand.
... More Expert* to Be Called.
Evidence will be presented which,
used in connection with the negro’.*
own story and the testimony of other
witnesses who have been called by
the State, will form the basis for an
argument by Frank's lawyers that it
was ah^iutely impossible for the
events in the factory the day of the
crime to have been as Conley pictured
them.
Dr. L. W. Childs, the first witness of
the defense, was called early in the
trial because he was leaving town a*,
once. The fact that no other medical
experts have been called since he
boldly ridiculed the conclusions of Dr.
H. F. Harris and branded them as
juire guesswork does not mean that
the defense is going to let its battle
against the State’s medical expert
rest with the testimony of Dr. Childs,
who is a young physician of only
seven years’ general practice since
graduation.
f On the contrary, a number of other
physicians and bacteriologists will bi
called to give their professional opin
ion on % the value of cabbage found »r
the dead girl's stomach as an accu
rate and infallible means of deter
mining the lengt hof time that elapsei
between teh time she ate her dinner
and the moment that death came to
her in the factory.
They also will combat Dr. Harris in
his deductions from an examination < f
the girl’s body, particularly as to hi*
statement that the girl positively was
the victim of criminal violence in ad
dition to the attack which caused her
death The State’s ow n witnesses ar»
at variance on this point Dr. Harris
declared that he found indications
that the girl had been criminally at
tacked.
Dr. J. W. Hurt said he found n »
•uch indications. Dr. Child? /ave i
at hi* opinion that Dr. Harris mig.v
easily have been misl J because of th»
fact that the girl’s bodv had been nin 1
days buried before he made his ex
amination.
Reach Alibi Witnesses Thia Weak, j
i 1
Among the experts who likely will
be called during the week are Drs.
Willis Westmoreland, T. H. Hancock
and J. N. Ellis.
It is expected that the defense will
be able to reach this week the testi
mony of its alibi witnesses. Among
these are members of Frank’s own
family who will testify as to t lie
times he left and arrived at home
during the day; employees who will
detail his movements at the factory
and acquaintances who saw- him go
ing to and from his home.
The testimony whigh will hold the
greatest Interest undoubtedly will be
that of W. H. Mincey, the teacher
and Insurance .solicitor, who Mild that
he talked with Conley on the after
noon of the tragedy and that Conlej
boasted to him of killing a girl.
Mincey probably is in for the se
verest grilling of any of the • wit
nesses for the defefise. His story is
doubted by the Solicitor who has
made the most thorough investigation
of every incident related in the af
fidavit sworn to by Mincey.
The introduction of the character
witnesses by the defense also will be
the signal for a sharp legal battle be
tween the opposing attorneys. The
Solicitor hns more than a dozen wit
nesses to put on the stand in rebut
tal who will assaid the character of
the young superintendent.

Gibbons Is Certain
Suffrage Will Come
CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—*'I am weary,”
said Cardinal Gibbons, when inter
viewed here. "I am growing old and
these trips are trifle hard on me.
"Pemmally I do not believe in wom
en voting,” he answered in reply to
a question. "The Church has not
passed on the subject. I have the
old-fashioned idea about woman and
the home. I think women would bet
ter make good mothers than good

Three Hale Brothers Lead Team
Which Expects to Take Inter
national Trophies.
Confident they will return with
their share of the trophies, the crack
shots of the Georgia State Militia left
at 7 o’clock Monday morning for the
international rifle match at Camp
Perry, Ohio, where they will compete
with the best marksmen of the armies
of the world. The Georgians are un
der the command of Adjutant Genera]
VanHolt Nash, team captain. Gen
eral Evans, of Atlanta, commander of
the Department of the Gulf, of the
regular army, will have entire charge
of the camp during the shoot. Major
J. O. Seamans will be team coach of
the Georgia riflemen.
Though practically every man on
the Georgia team has made records
in the selective competitions that
make him loom up as a formidable
figure in the shoot, local interest cen
ters in the performances of the three
Hale brothers, W. S., E. C. and D. L.,
atta-ched to the Third Battalion. W.
S. Hale is the champion of the world
at the kind of shooting which will be
requir<ll at Camp Perry, and local
enthusiasts are expecting great things
from him. He won the world’s cham
pionship last year, and in the recent
State shoot to determine the make
up of the Georgia team he made a
score better even than the one with
which he won the title. He made a
totaL of 2,100 points out of a possible
2,250.
His two brothers run him a close
second at every shoot, and in the
State contest finished with scores of
2,041 and 2,080, respectively. The
three rank high among the marks
men of the world, and inasmuch as
they are all better this year than ever
before, are expected to do some fine
shooting at Camp Perry.
Other crack shots who made the
trip are Captain W. R. Spratt, Ser.
geant W. R. Browne. Captain O. L.
Rudisall and Sergeant O. C. Holleran.
The lowest score made by any mem
ber of the team was 1,837, which is
considered good.
Lieutenant H. C. Russell, battalion
quartermaster of the Fifth Regiment,
went ahead of the team Sunday after
noon and will have charge of the mess
of the shooters. Captain Kimbrough.
Lieutenant McCabe, Lieutenant King,
Major Coney and Lieutenant Wynne,
regular army officers stationed in At
lanta. have been ordered to Camp
Perry for duty as range officers.
McNaughton Looks
For Pardon; Says He
Will Practice Again
SAVANNAH, Aug. 11.—Declaring
he would resume his practice of med
icine when released, Dr. W. J. Mc
Naughton, confined in Chatham
County jail under sentence of death,
to-day expressed hope of a pardon.
"All I hope for is that the facts will
be revealed,” said Dr. McNaughton,
"for I am innocent and will be satis
fied with nothing but a full pardon.”
Despite his long confinement the
condemned man is in fine health. He
has stated repeatedly that he believes
he can live down whatever sentiment
there may be against him in his home
county. Although Dr. McNaughton
has had several flattering offers for
his medical services he says he will
return to Emanuel.
Opens Bank Account
For Waitress as Tip
ST. LOUIS, Aug. 11.—Lee Moser, a
banker, has invented a novel tipping
system. He was so pleased with the
services of a young woman who
waited on him in his favorite lunch
room that he opened a bank account
in her name.
He never affronts her with a tip,
but when he considers her service es
pecially good a deposit goes to the
credit of the waitress.

CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Several hun
dred persons, including staid business
men of 50, young women, actresses,
young girls, young men and Chicago’^
youngest "veteran smoker,” a 4-year-
old boy, will attend the dinner to be
given under the auspices of the Anti-
Cigarette League of America on Mon
day, August 18, to celebrate their
freedom from the cigarette habit
through the free clinic now being con
ducted in Chicago by the league.
Hundreds have taken advantage of
the treatment given by Dr. D. D.
Hess, under the direction of Mitts
Lucy Page Gaston, and the head
quarters of the league are swamped
with letters from women all over the
country. Persons in every walk of
life, of both sexes and of nearly ail
ages, have visited the league’s head
quarters during the week.
Last Monday, the first day the clinic*
was opened, there were fifteen pa
tients. The number was doubled the
next day. and on Thursday there were
over one hundred. To-day the head
quarters were thronged with people,
und the telephone rang incessantly. |
Patients by Hundreds.
Mothers have brought their sons,
wives have brought their husbands,
prominent business men have come of
their own accord, and one father
thought his 4-year old son. who, he
naid, smoKed 50 cigarettes daily. An
actress who comes from a family
prominent in the church asked for
treatment. One young married wom
an, \vho said she has contracted the
habit since her wadding and that it
had brought the only disagreement
between her and her husband, took
the cure.
“We are swamped with letters,” I
said Miss Gaston. “Physicians from 1
all over the United States and even
from Canada have written for partic
ulars concerning the treatment. 1
have promised all that their names
would not be given out. One who
came to our clinic was a very promi
nent business man of about fifty. He
stated his case with tears in his eyes. !
"He said that If he could only get a
three days’ start on the habit he
could conquer it. He was given the
treatment and has not smoked since.
He declared that If he was cured he
would send hundreds, and they have
been pouring in from all of the office
buildings in Chicago’s ‘loop’ district.’*
What Dr. Hess Claims.
Dr. Hess, who formerly was the
head of a large sanitarium in London
and Austria and who gave up his
work in order to crusade against the
cigarette, does not claim that the
treatment is a new one or that »t
will permanently remove the craving
for tobacco.
It assist® the will power, however,
he says in overcoming the habit dur
ing the wo^st period and then leaves
the will power to complete the cure.
He will not accept as a patient any
one who does not want to stop.
Hiti treatment consists of a solution
of one-eighth of one per cent of sil
ver nitrate used as a mouth wash and
a dietary program, The mouth wash
