WASHINGTON, Aug. 25 —Georgia has been allotted $1,700,000 of the $50,000,000 which Secretary McAdoo will deposit in the banks of the South I and West to assist in moving the crops. Atlanta national banks will receive $S00,000 deposits. The remaining $900,000 will be divided among Savan- rah banks and those of other cities, probably Including Macon. Kive Atlanta banks are eligible to receive these deposits under the rule laid down by the Secretary that any bank so favored must have a circula tion equal to 40 per cent of its capital stock. It is expected that the money will be deposited within the next few days. It will be withdrawn gradually, one- quarter at a time, over a period ex tending through February, 1014, so as not to create any disturbance of credits. These funds are not loans in any sense of the word. They are depos its. The only difference between them and the deposits of any pri vate concern is that the banks are required to give collateral of 10 per cent in Government bonds and 90 per cent in commercial paper at 65 per cent valuation, or municipal or State bonds at 75 per cent valuation. The banks must pay 2 per cent interest.

MRS, FRANK ARRIVING AT THE COURTHOUSE I Instructs Lawyers to Have Special I Guard—Expects To Be Back in United States This Week. The wife of the defendant in the Phagan case has not missed a session of the trial of her husband, SHERBROOKE. QUE.. Aug. 25.— “Harry K. Thaw will be back upon United States soil before the week Is out." This declaration was made here I to-day by E. Blake Robinson, Assist ant Superintendent of Immigration in Canada, who is in charge of the im migration activities in the Thaw case. Lawyers on both sides agreed this week likely would see an end of Ca nadian participation in Thaw’s fight against going back to Matteawan. Thaw told reporters he had in structed his eight lawyers to hire spe cial guards for him while he is out side the jail and court house. “It has come to my ears that the New York authorities will try to kid nap m 0 if I am released on habeas corpus proceedings, as I fully expect to be,” said Thaw. “I understand they will try to seize me by force and carry me into New York. Says Kidnaping Is Planned. “Whether the attempt will be made In Sherbrooke or whether the kid napers. will wait until we are on United States soil is a question, but they would hardly affront the immi gration authorities by seizing me if I am in the hands of Dominion Govern ment representatives." Thaw decided to fight his habeas corpus proceedings to a finish after his lawyers had put the question of dropping them up to their client. New York State representatives are making elaborate precautions to combat any attempt by Thaw’s friends to carry him off. It is expected Thaw will be released Wednesday morning by Judge Glo- bensky in the Superior Court. He will he arrested by the immigration authorities and taken to Coaticook, the nearest post of entry to the point where Thaw entered Canada, where a court of inquiry will be held. Thaw undoubtedly will ba deported into the little Vermont village of Nor ton Mills, which immediately will be come the scene ox a big legal fight. Thaw Glvt6 Interviews. William A. Blakely, former District Attorney of Allegheny County, Penn sylvania, who arrived here with for mer Governor William Stone, of Pennsylvania, to help Thaw in his fight, counseled the fugitive not to talk any more to the newspapers. In stead of complying Thaw started to write interviews and specific articles for American and Canadian newspa pers. J. N Greenshield, one of the leaders among Thaw’s counsel, returned to day from Montreal. District Attorney E. A. Conger, of Dutchess County, New York, admitted that John Mack, a former District Attorney for the same county, has been in Vermont several days preparing to resist Thaw’s efforts there. Thaw’s appeal l’rom the decision of the Immigration Court of Inquiry (which will be against him), must be in the hands of Acting Minister of Justice Doherty within 48 hours after a verdict is reached. According to the Dominion law the Ministry of Justice must affirm or overrule the verdict of the court of Inquiry with out unreasonable delay. It usually takes the Minister about 48 hours to act.

LONDON, Aug. 25.—British new, papers to-day devoted much space the sermon of (’anon Newbolt In h i Paul’s Cathedral yesterday afternot : when he bitterly attacked such dune j as tho turkey trot and the tango, part he said: “Would indecent dances, suggest!’ of evil and destructive of morals, di ; grace our civilization If profess* Christians were to say, ‘I will n I allow mv daughter to turn into S; lome even if Herod were to give n half his kingdom and admit me a high and much coveted society th has managed to persuade itself th immorality is artistic?’ This is i age which mocks at marriage and i sists upon sex topics for boys ai girls." — _ At 12:45 Judge Roan finished his charge to the jury and the fate of Leo M F.rank, accused of the murder of Mary Phagan, was put in the hands of the twelve men who have been listening to testimony for and against him for four weeks. Judge Roan overruled the motion for a new trial. Reuben R. Arnold at the conclusion of Solicitor Dor sey’s argument at 12 o’clock, arose and made a motion for a mistrial. Ataorney Arnold based his motion on the applause which at different times during the proceed ings has broken the order of the courtroom. “Your honor, at the beginning of this trial,’’ said Arnold, i counsel for the defense, requested that the courtroom be cleared of j spectators. I am going to make a motion for a new trial and we are prepared to prove each of the instances upon which we base our request, unless your Honor is willing to admit that they are true. “First, when the court refused to rule out the evidence of Frank’s relations with other women as given by Jim Conley that there was applause in the courtroom. “Second, on Friday, August 22, when the trial was on, and had just recessed for lunch, and when the jury was within 200 feet of the courthouse, and just as the Solicitor General was leaving the courthouse, the crowd gathered around and in plain hearing of the jury yelled: ‘Hurrah for Dorsey.’ ‘ ‘ Third: That on Saturday, August 23, while the trial was still in process, and had just adjourned, that a large crowd gathered in front of the courthouse and as the Solicitor General left the court- \ house, yelled: “Hurrah for Dorsey.’’ The jury at this time was in ; a cafe at lunch within 100 feet and was in plain hearing of the noise, and that the crowd moved up in front of the cafe and again yelled: “Hurrah for Dorsey,” all within plain hearing of the jury. Fourth: On August 25, while the jury was in a room within 20 feet of the courtroom, that as the Solicitor General entered the* courtroom, the crowd in the courtroom arose and applauded him, and that your Honor admonished the crowd that if it happened again he would clear the courtroom. “And that all of this applause has tended to coerce and un duly in influence the jury. The conduct was most disgraceful and the defendant has not been given a fair show at any time during the trial, from the start to the finish. ‘ ‘ I never saw a trial where there were so many manifestations of feeling. They have a natural tendency to intimidate and in fluence the jury. “I make the motion for the new trial and I stand ready to* prove what I have said.” The jury was out while the arguments on the mistrial were be ing made. Dorsey arose with a strenuous objection. “I take issue with the defense,” almost shouted the Solicitor. “I never heard any such thing as Mr. Arnold speaks of. I think it would be the most ridiculous thing in the world to entertain the motion. I don’t know whether all that Mr. Arnold has said is true or not, but I want your Honor to overrule the motion because it v/ouldn’t amount to anything if it were true.” Arnold interrupted Dorsey. “Didn’t you hear the applause this morning, your Honor,” said Arnold, addressing Judge Roan. “Didn’t you hear the cheer ing last Friday and Saturday? Didn’t you hear them yell ‘ Hurrah for Dorsey?’ ” Judge Roan admitted that he had heard cheering, but denied that the exclamation: 'Hurrah for Dorsey,’ had reached his ears. Solicitor Dorsey finished his speech at twelve o’clock and Judge Roan prepared to charge the jury. A brief recess was taken. ;» —
