T.VS5SS THK ATLANTA UEUKUIAN AND NEWS. n a •> FUNK CALMLY Defense Confident It Will Get New Trial on Ground Demon stration Influenced Jury. The lawyers for Leo M. Frank Fri day were engaged in getting together every scrap of evidence possible to sustain them in their contention that the Jurors who convicted their client were intimidated or unduly influenced by the series of demonstrations out side the courthouse and inside during the latter part of tho trial. The newspaper accounts of the ova tions that were given Solicitor Dor sey and the popular acclaim which met every victory of his will form a large part in the showing which the defense proposes to make on this par ticular phase of its movement for a new trial. Witnesses have been found who will testify in regard to the applause that broke out in the courtroom Sat urday morning when the Solicitor en tered to resume his argument to the jury. There was a spontaneous wave of hand-clapping. The defense will represent that it was impossible for Frank to receive an impartial trial when the jurors could so readily observe the temper of the people. Frank ‘’Man With Iron Nervs.” Assisting the lawyers with every means at his ‘command is Frank him self. His coolness and confidence witn the sentence of death hanging over him have won him a reputation at the Tower for a man with an iron nerve. He greets his friends with the cheery manner and hearty handshake that he w ould employ in his office or in his home. There is no suggestion of the dejected and broken man condemned to be hanged. He discusses his case more freely than he did before the trial, but only to his friends. He is observing his lawyers’ admonition as to interviews with the newspaper reporters. He has nothing to say to them. He even has changed his mind, it is under stood, in regard to the statement he planned to make in reply to the argu ment of Solicitor Dorsey. He was in tending to make it public if his at torneys Approved, but they have in i-mu, • J him to have nothing to say at present. lit is continuing his work along tiiis line, however, in preparation for the new trial which he is entirely confident of getting. When he is not chatting with his friends he is looking over testimony that was given at his trial and is picking out the point9 in the address of the Solicitor which he maintains were based on false as sumptions and misrepresentations. He has every appearance of a man engaged in ordinary business or pro fessional routine. In reality he is taking a remarkable role in the des perate fight to save himself from the gallows. That so much is at staKe seems not to affect him in the least. He goes calmly and unhurriedly about his work in his quarters at the Tower. Declares He I9 Innocent. He makes notations here and there on the testimony and on the address of the Solicitor. Occasionally he de sires to put something into writing, and he calls for the stenographer from the pencil factory. The stenographer comes and the prisoner dictates page after page of matter in much the same businesslike tones that he would acknowledge orders for the pencils which his concern manufactures. “I am innocent,” he has told his friends, "and sooner or later the world will know it. I am confident that my innocence will be proved, ;>o there is no need for me to woiry.” His wife and his mother have visit ed him. To them he has been as cheerful and optimistic as to his friends. He was the comforter when Solicitor Dorsey was bitterly excoriat ing Mm at the trial. He quieted his hysterical wife when the news of the Jury’s verdict reached the Tower. His attitude lifts been the same all through the week. Humorists Appalled By Mexican Names PEORIA. ILL..

N., Aug. 29.—Presi dent Emeritus Eliot, of Harvard Col lege, addressing the delegates tof th? fourth International Congress on School Hygiene, of which he is the founder, in session here tod-day, said: “The progressive civilization of the last hundred years has worked ter ribly against the health and perpe tuity of the whole race. This is seen in the reduced vitality of the multi tudes that inhabit closely-built cities in the diminishing size of families, in the incapacity of many women to among the Navajos in Arizona, that disproportionate increase in the num ber of the insane, defective and crim inally inclined.’ Would Quit Wife for Row With His'Hands’ Charging that his wife, Mary Bar ton, aged 50, “has the most ungovern able temper that can be imagined,” and that she has raised a row with his “farm hands."

WASHINGTON. Aug. 29.--President Wilson to-day sent to the Senate the nomination of George W. Buchner, of Indiana, to be Minister to Liberia. Virginia Reel, Spanish Whirl and Tango Combined in Delight ful New Step. The fox—the common red fox—has reached the acme of fame and re nown; he has been immortalized by having a dance named for him. and sits happily and serenely alongside the turkey, the rabbit and the bear. The latest Is the Fox Fandango. It Is the outcome of a tour of ex ploration by some of the younger so ciety set. who, in their everlasting search for something new. wound up one day at Grant. Park. Struck with the beauty and grace of the red fox as he dragged his frightened little body into his hole, one of the visitors suggested that, in asmuch as the movements of the tur key. the rabbit and all the other ani mals had been utilized by the danc ing master, it would be a novelty to introduce something based on the graceful movements of the fox. So last Friday night at a Tech dance at the Crystal Palace, the Fox Fandango was originated. It is a graceful dance, without having the taint of suggestiveness that has marred the trots, the hug* and the tangos, and it promises to become all the rage in Atlanta social circles. The dance Is a combination of the Virginia reel, the Spanish fandango And the tango. This is about how you do it: First you bow gracefully—if you can—as in the Virginia reel; then you take the walking steps of the tango and waltz them slowly, very slowly; then you tear the fast-going right out of the heart of the Spanish dances aod waltz rapidly, although it is not necessary that you place the tip of the fingers on the head, or hang on to your belt with the other hand. You are allowed the liberty of interpolating any elaborations you may desire. Miss Caroline Briggs, a Tech favor ite, and Perry Burrus, a sophisticated sophomore, were among the crowd who originated the new dance, and their interpretation of the Fox Fan dango was one of the best shown at the Crywtai Palace. bail. Lawyers for Thaw tried to get the hearing adjourned until next Wednesday. The bail Is exactly the amount »f the fine that would be imposed on Thompsoh if he had been found guilty, and it i9 admitted by lawyers that the depositing of this sum virtually ends Thompson’s case. It is believed that Thompson will get out of Can ada and forfeit his bail. When the case was called, the crown attorneys announced they were ready to try Thompson on the charge of “entering the country by stealth.” Thaw’s lawyers, who also represent Thompson, said that they expected the hearing to be on the charge that Thompson had “aided an insane man to enter Canada." Assistant Superintendent of Immi gration Blake Robertson stated that the crown- was not ready to take up this charge until next Monday. Thaw has vvone another victory in his fight against going back to the Matteawan. although tfje result in this case may prove only temporary. Ex-District Attorney Jerome, who is here in the capacity of a deputy at torney general of the State of New York, returned to-day from Quebec after having failed to see Sir Lomar Gouin. Governor for this province.

Thaw to Shift Fight To Pittsburg Soon. PITTSBURG, PA., Aug. 29.—Harry Thaw’s fight for freedom will be shifted to Pittsburg sobn. Plans for a battle in the courts are being' laid. Thaw will petition for $10,000 from the fund held in trust for him by the Fidelity Title and Trust Company, which amounts to $30,000. If the courts recognize Thaw's plea for funds with which to fight his battle against the State of New York and his sanity is thereby established by such act of the court, the Canadian authorities will he placed in a pe culiar position inasmuch as Thaw will he held insane by New York and sane by his resident State of Penn sylvania, Because he became Imbued witji the idea that one Mexican is the equal of a great many American policemen. C. E. Ellison. No. 153 Walton street, who save he is a Mexican employed by the Atlanta Gas Company, occu pied a cell at police headquarters Fri day, nursing several large and painful bumps on the head, inflicted by Offi cer Thompson and Officer Lvnan dur ing the process of relieving his mind of his hallucination. Ellison had a day off Thursday, and in the absence of anything else to do he drank copiously of mescal and de voured the newspaper stories of the Mexican trouble. The more he drank and the more he rc^d the more indig nant he became that President Wil son should tell President Huerta where to “head in.” Indignation filled his soul. He thirsted for the gore of an American, and forthwith started cnlt to find a fresh, untainted Ameri can on whom he might wreak ven geance. Girls Kick His Shins. By some strange freak of chance Ellison wound up in the Syrian quar ter on Marietta street, in Brooklyn, and informed two passing Syrian girls that Mexican courage and Mexi can mescal make a winning combi nation. The Syrian girls didn’t be lieve it. One of them kinked Ellison in fhn shins, and the other slapped his face. Ellison began to explain volubly that he had no fuss with Syria, but before he got through Officer Lynan, a large and imposing figure of a man, came up. “Ha!” said Ellison. “An American! Curses on them!” Officer Lynan reached out a large hand and grasped Ellison firtnly by the collar. “Come with me!” he »t ited firmly. “Leggo!” shouted the brave Mexi can. “I’m a Mexican and l won’t stand for no interference from an American. I can whip any American that ever worse shoes. I’ll bite you if you don’t leggo! " He made a* if to chew the- officer’s club. Lynan grinned and tapped him on the head. Ellison grunted, but subsided. Lynan called the wagon and the brave Mexican was loaded into it, fighting and protesting. ~ Finally Admits Defeat. En route to the station house Elli son felt his courage rising up in him again, and he turned on Officer Thompson, who guards the prisoners until Judge Broyles gets hold of them. “You’re an American, too.” Ellifion said. “I guess I can lick you. too.” Officer Thompson grinned and said nothing. Ellison made a pass at Thompson. The officer sighed, be cause it was a shafile to do It, and tapped Ellison on the head. The Mex ican subsided with a low, despairing gurgle, and as the waters closed over I his head, he murmured: “Let Huerta fight ’em; I got j enough.” The Mexican was arraigned before Councilman Charles W. Smith, Act- ; ing Recorder at the morning session of Police court and fined $100.75 or 3^ days. Unable to pay the fine, he went j out in the big “redbird ' wagon, pro- I testing that “Americano Justice is en tirely too swift.” RETURN FROM ABROAD. GREENSBORO—The Rev. W. R.

Further litigation over the will of Leonard B. Folsom, for twenty year* proprietor of Folsom’9 restaurant anr! hotel in Marietta street, was begun Friday morning, when the heirs of Jacob V. Johnson, Folsom's cashier, tiled a petition in the Superior Court seeking to obtain $2,500 alleged *0 have been willed to Johnson. The complaint Is made against Henry L. Folsom, of California, nephew and executor of the estate. The airing of the issue In the courts is the climax of a long and interest ing story. Johnson, “the fai hful and trusted cashier" in Folrom's employ, the petitioners assert, was rewarded by his employer by the promise of a bequest of $2,500 upon the death of the latter, with the provision that he, Johnson, was still in the employ of Folsom. In the meantime Folsom went out of business, but Johnson continued t-> act as cashier at the Folsom restau rant. Soon after this Johnson died, and later Folsom died. The Johnson heirs now assert thar th* disposition of Folsom’s business discharged the condition of the pay ment to Johnson, and as lawful heirs they claim the $2,500 share of the Folsom estate. The petition is signed by a half dozen members of the John son family.
