Frank Attacks Solicitor Dorsey’s Arraignment DORSEY’S Prisoner Prepares Statement to Combat What He Terms Dis- totion of Facts. "Dorsey’s speech was as full of holes as a sieve! If I could have had just one hour to reply to his eight- hour address I am confident I could have shown the jury that I was an innocent man and that the Solicitor was misrepresenting the facts in or der to obtain a conviction.’" This W'as a statement made by Leo M. Prank to friends who visited him in the jail Wednesday. "Dorsev twisted and contorted the real circumstances of the case until they were unrecognizable,” he con tinued "He altered everything that was said and everything that was done until it seemed to point to my guilt. If I could have spoken only briefly after he finished his eight- hour speech I could have shown, I am sure, that he departed from the facts of the case wherever It suited him. ”1 am preparing a statement in re ply to his argument to the jury which I propose to make public, if my law yers think it advisable. In it I will point out exactly how' the Solicitor warped the testimony and the facts to guit his own convenience. I know that these misstatements of his had their influence with the jury and that is why I am rebelling against the un fairness of the situation. Frank Still Optimistic. Frank, according to his friends, was as optimistic as ever Wednesday in regard to the ultimate outcome of his case but was somewhat dotvncas* over the wave of sentiment against j,; nl He said he could not under stand how people could be so certain of his guilt when the testimony was c'roumstantial in the extreme, except for that of Conley, who was an ad- putted liar and perjurer Rabbi Marx, Emil Selig.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—After Chairman Clayton, of the Judiciary Committee, had made public a sy nopsis of the charges against United States Judge Emory Speer, of the Southern District of Georgia, the House to-day passed the resolution he had introduced yesterday, author izing the Judiciary Committee fo proceed with an investigation to de termine whether impeachment pro ceedings should or should not be in stituted against the Judge. The resolution was passed just a few minutes before President Wil son appeared before the Joint ses sion to read his message on Mexico. Just as soon as the House convened Chairman Clayton asked unanimous consent for the Immediate considera tion of the resolution and it was at once taken up at the point it was left off yesterday. Representative Nelson, of Wiscon sin, Republican, made a short speech pointing out principally that Judge Speer had written to the Judiciary Committee that he was innocent of the charges and demanding that an investigation be made. The galleries were rapidly filling with visitors who wanted to see and hear President Wilson, and the noise and confusion were so great that few could hear Mr. Nelson. When he concluded he received scattering applause. Clayton Reads Charges. Chairman Clayton then arose. "Mr. Speaker.” he said, "in view of the publicity given these charges and the further fact that a request amounting to a demand has been made by members of this House for Information, I shall now' proceed to read a synopsis of the charges made against Judge Speer, which have been under consideration by the Judiciary Committee.” Chairman Clayton proceeded to read the charges. "In addition,” he said, "we have many affidavits and photographs of documents. Altogether the record is very bulky. I hold it in my hand now r , that the members of the House may see it.” Chairman Clayton held up a large package, containing apparently hun dreds of pages of record. "The committee has decided that beyond the statement already given to the House nothing further shali be disclosed In the case until the in vestigation is taken up,” he said. Involves Son-in-Law. The twenty charges read by Chair man Clayton were as follows: "Violation of section 67 of the Judicial code, in allowing his son- in-law, A. H. Heyward, to be appointed to and employed in of fices and duties in his court. "Violation of the bankruptcy act in allowing compensation in excess of the provisions of that act to a trustee, who was his personal friend. “Violation of the law's In draw ing Juries. "Violation of a mandate of the Supreme Court of the United States. "Oppressive and corrupt use of his official position in decid ing cases unjustly in favor of his son-in-law. "Unlawful and corrupt conduct WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—Empha sizing the fact that the United States must remain the firm friend of the peo ple of Mexico in their present stress and trouble, President Wilson to-day read his long awaited message on Mexican affairs to Congress. The message was distinctly pacific in tone and contains little in the way of recommendation for future policy except the single one that this Government must urge earnestly that all Americans should leave Mexico at once and that the United States should assist them to get out of Mexico in every way possi ble. The President counsels delay before further aotion is taken and says: “Impatience on our part would be childish and would be fraught with ev ery risk of wrong and folly. The door is not closed against the resumption, either upon the initiative of Mexico or upon our own, of the effort to bring or der out of the confusion by friendly co operative action, should fortunate occasion offer. “So long as the misunderstanding continues we can only await the time of their awakening to a realization to the actual facts. We can not thrust our good offices upon them. The situation must be given a little more time to work itself out in the new circumstances, and I believe that only a little while will be necessary. The circumstances are new. The re jection of our friendship makes them new and will inevitably bring its own alterations in the whole aspect of affairs. The actual situation of the au thorities at Mexico City will presently be revealed.” President Wilson’s message is unexpectedly brief and closes with the statement that several of the great Governments of the world have given the United States their generous moral support in urging on the provision al authorities at Mexico City the acceptance of our proffered good offices in the spirit i nwhich they were made. The President relates the circum stances leading up to the Lind mission and all the facts in connection with it. The message follows: Gentlemen of the Congress—It is clearly my duty to lay before you Wilson’s Conditions For Mexican Peace (a) An immediate cessa tion of fighting throughout Mexico, a definite armistice solemnly entere dinto and scrupulously observed. (b) Security given for an early and free election, in which all will agree to take part. (c) The consent of General Huerta to bid himself not to be a candidate for election as President of the Republic at this election; and (d) The agreement of all parties to abide by the results of the elections and co-opera tion in the most loyal way in organizing and supporting the new administration.

Drew Caminetti will be that he did not have any criminal intent when he eloped to Reno, Nev.. from Sacra mento with Lola Norris, the high school girl. Attorney Woodworth, representing Caminetti, pressed his questions on this point until Federal Judge Van- Fleet ordered him to adopt another line of questioning. The women directly connected with the white slavery cape against Cami netti did not attend to-day’s session of the trial. None of Caminetti’s rel atives. except his brother.

THE WEATHER. Forecast for Atalnta and Georgia—Generally fair Wed nesday and Thursday. very fully and without reserva tion the fact concerning our present relations with the re- public of Mexico. The deplorable posture of affairs in Mexico I need ble posture of affairs in Mexico I ne°d not describe, but I deem it my duty to speak very frankly of what this Government has done and should seek to do in fulfillment of Its obligation to Mexico herself, as a friend and neighbor, and to American citizens whose lives and vital Interests are daily afiected by the distressing con ditions which now obtain beyond our southern border. "Those conditions touch us verv nearly. Not merely because they lie at our very doors. That, of course, makes us more vividly and more con stantly conscious of them, and every instinct of neighborly Interest and sympathy is aroused and quickened by them; but that is only one ele ment in the determination of our duty. "We are glad to call ourselves the friends of Mexico, and we shall, I hope, Lave many* an occasion, in hap pier times, as well as in these days of trouble and confusion, to show that our friendship is genuine and disinterested, capable of sacrifice, and very generous of manifestation. 1 "The peace, prosperity and con tentment of Mexico mean more, much more, to us than merely an enlarged field for our commerce and enterprise. They mean an enlargement of the field of self-government and the realization of the hopes and rights of a nation with whose best aspirations, too long suppressed and disappoint ed, we deeply sympathize. We shall yet prove to the Mexican people that we know how to serve them without first thinking how we shall serve our selves. “But we are not the only friends of Mexico. The whole world desires her peace and progress, and the, whole world is interested as never before. Mexico lies at last where all the world looks on. Central America is about to be touched by the great routes of the world’s trade and intercourse run ning free from ocean to ocean at the Isthmus. The future has much in store for Mexico, as for all the States of Central America, but the best gifts can come to her only if she be ready and free to receive them and to enjoy them honorably. "America in particular—America, North and South and upon both con tinents—waits upon the development of Mexico; and that development can be sound and lasting only if it be the product of a genuine freedom, a Just and ordered governments funded up-
