Dorsey turned to Frt.Jc at this

The general expectation, however,
was that lie more than likely would
overstep the limit that he had set for

more of his earnest attention than
any other phases of the crime mys

If the Jurors were to accept Ills

which the crime was committed, it
was a mystery no longer. The Soli
citor spoke as though the explanu-
lion were the simplest In the world,

The closing of his address Monday

Slate's case and lo the stressing of
certain aspects of the case to which
he had referred previously. He de.
manded the death penalty for the ac

Roan, It was though# would take lit

had the main points of the charge
outlined when court convened Mon
day morning It emhraeed n clear
definition of the "reasonable doubt,"
the existence of which, according to
the law, must force the verdict of

pected to dwell at some length on the
value of circumetalntlal evidence as
It h.-ts been presented during the trill
of Frank.
As the State has been compelled to
rely entirely upon a I rain of circum
stances In building up Its case against
the defendant, Solicitor Dorsey and
his associate, Frank A. Hooper, have
been frequent in their insistence that
circumstantial evidence is the best
kind of evidence, and that, as a mat
ter of fact, it is almost Impossible 10

criminal court.
Dorsey’s Argument
Strong and Masterly.
It was manifestly apparent that the
address of the Solicitor was having
ils influence with the Jurors It was a
strong, masterly argument. One
could hardly doubt that Dorsey was
convinced beyond the shade of a
doubt of the guilt of the man he was
prosecuting. This air of sincerity
probably was not without Its effect.
With the denunciatory words ring
ing in their ears, it became not a re
mote possibility that it would de
pend on the tenor of Judge Roan's
charge as to what the outcome of the
jurors' deliberations would be.
After a preliminary ballot is cast
by the jurymen, they will elect a fore
man and the discussion of the case

Bankers’ Protests Not Likely To
Be Heeded—Wilson’s Plan
Finds Strong Backing.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—Informal
conferences of Democratic members
of the House Currency Committee
emphasize the fact that the active
supportesr of the President’s cur
rency plan expect to put the measure
through the House without substan
tial change.
The amendments proposed by the
bankers, It Is pointed out, were all
considered in detail when the bill was
originally prepared and In the long
debate over Its provisiosn In the
House Committee on Banking and
Currency.
The proposal to reduce the quantity
of reserves and give country banks
the privilege of keeping part of their
reserves In the large cities had many
supporters and ultimately may be
worked into the bill in the Senate,
but the change is not expected In the
House.
The bankers will have an opportu
nity to present their views openly to
Congress after the curfency bill gets
into the Senate. Chairman Owen, of
the Senate Currency Committee, said
that while hearings had not yet been
arranged, he expected leading repre
sentatives of the various "factions"
amongst the bankers of the country
would be invited to give their views
of the bill to the Senate committee.
The fact that leading bankers hold
differing views of the effect of the
new legislation, particularly with re
gard to the possible reduction of
loans and curtailment of credit, has
led members of the Senate commit
tee to hope that a further discussion
of the bill at open hearings would re
sult in the co-operation and support
of a large portion of the banking fra
ternity of the country.
In the opinion of Democratic lead
ers, the past week saw greater prog
ress toward united support of Pres
ident Wilson’s legislative policies
than any recent stage of Congress
activity. The entrance of Secretary
Bryan as the whole-hearted advocate
of the administration currency bill, in
his letter read in the House caucus;
the united front presented by the
Democratic leaders of the House
against amendments to the currency
measure, and the complete success of
the Senate Democrats in supporting
the free sugar and other contested
points of the tariff bill, have ad
vanced the two big reforms a long
way toward completion, it is claimed.
Chairman Simmons, of the Senate
Finance Committee, predicts the Sen
ate could complete the tariff bill and
pass it by September 5. and the
measure could be finis ted by the con
ference committee and signed by
President Wilson by September 16.
Only unforeseen delay in debate will
prevent the tariff bill from becoming
a law by that time, in the opinion of
Senator Simmons.
"Uphill Fight Ahead
iFor Bankers”—Maddox.
CHICAGO, Aug. 25.—R. P. Mad-
dox, of Atlanta, member of the com
mittee of the American Bankers’ As
sociation appointed to fight for dras
tic changes in the Owen-Glass cur
rency bill, sa«d to-day:
“Our work in this convention has
been eminently satisfactory, but It
must not end here. The bankers of
the country In trying to secure
amendments to a bill already in form
and already thrashed out in Con
gress are fighting an uphill fight.
"If we go back to our various
States and cities imbued with the
spirit of the contest, we may be able
to make Congress see our viewpoint,
but we must remember that at pres
ent Congress has been mostly on the
other side and may not have a recep
tive ear for us. The great part of the
work is yet to be done, and much of
It must be done by the committee to
Washington.”
Three More Noted
Organists Coming
One of the best of the “trial re
citals" of the Atlanta Music Fes
tival Association in its search for a
city organist to succeed Dr. Percy
J. Starnes was given at the Audi
torium Sunday afternoon by E. Seton
Blyth, the Scotch musician. His pro
gram ranged from light selections to
Peace’s "Sonata Da Camera."
The following organists will be
heard in the next three Sunday con
certs, in the order named: Ferdinand
Duncan, city organist of Seattle;
Charles Reynolds, of Ocean Grove,
N. J.. and Frederick Hall, of Had-
don Heights. N. J .

Ready to Dynamite
Last Canal
Barrier
WASHINGTON. Aug. 25.—Another I
important step toward completion of 1
the Panama Canal will be taken Mon- |
day, when preparations will be made |
to blow up the heavy earth dike, now j
the only barrier between the Mira-
flores locks and tidewater on the Pa- |
eifle side three miles away.
A number of holes in the dike will l
be heavily chained with dynamite. \
then for five days fresh water from
the Rio Grande diversion will be
turned Into the canal prism. When
the water is near the level of the sea
water on the other side the charge
will be set off.

SOUTHERN BUYERS THICK
IN THE CHICAGO MARKET
Marshall Field A Co., in a weekly re
view of the dry goods trade, says:
"Immediate business is keeping up
strong and as the fall season opens up
there is more evidence of the scarcity of
diserable merchandise, the increase in
road sales during the week, together
with market purchases, indicating that
retailers are beginning to anticipate
their needs liberally for the coming few
months. Our shipping department is
working overtime to get out current and
September l shipments.
"Buyers have been in the market in
unusaul numbers from the South and
Southwest, partocularly from Alabama,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas and East
ern Oklahoma, where crop conditions are
much improved, and they report an in
creased confidence among the dry goods
trade.”
