Aug. 30—A case which is puzzling the phyfdcians at the General Hospital is that of a 7- Year-old boy whose heart is located under his arm.

YEAR’S DELAY IS ASSURED Friends Declare Final Vindication Is Certain—State Hunts for New Evidence. XEW YORK, Aug. 30.—"Has fate marked the world’s greatest ocean, liners for destruction?” This is the question uppermost in the minds of Hamburg-American Hine officials investigating the cause of the fire that swept the Imperator, the biggest passenger . carrying steamer alloat, as it lay at the dock at Hoboken, drove 1,200 steerage pas sengers into a panic, claimed one of ficer’s life and caused a loss of $350,- 000 Every State. Had the fire occurred at sea under the same conditions, the tragedy might easily have been a duplicate of the Titanic disaster. Even with the fear of drowning removed, the blaze caused a great panic that only a miracle prevented from resulting in a terrible loss of life, while even with the aid of a great city’s fire-fighting apparatus, the task of subduing the •flames was difficult. What would have been the result had the fire broken out in mid ocean, is a question that sends terror through the minds of the investiga tors. Notables on Passenger List. The Imperator. in commission three months, docked with the greatest 'passenger list in the history of trans- Atlantic travel. In addition to 1,200 steerage passengers, the first-class cabin held among the 763 passengers George Ade, William Ellis Corey, Samuel Untermyer. Mrs. Rudolph Spreckels. F. W. Woolworth, Julius P. Meyer, vice president of the line, and Allis»on Armour. The origin of the fire is a mystery, although Captain Ruser states it must have been burning some time before it was discovered in the fifth deck, or provision room. By heroic work the flames were kept from spreading to the first cabin and su perstructure and within four hours were under control. They had licked their way into the coal bunkers, how ever, and the firemen were forced to fight them for hours before the last spark was quenched. Second Officer a Hero. Acts of heroism offset others of ar rant cowardice, during the worst of the fire. While half the orew of 1.180 men fought the flames, the other half landed the panic-stricken steerage passengers. Second Officer Gerbracht vas the hero of the day. This brave seaman voluntarily gave his life while ♦.struggling to close the fireproof doors to confine the flames to the provision WASHINGTON, Aug. 3ft.—Con gressman John E. Raker, of Califor-. nia, delivered the following epigrams on woman suffrage to-day: Women are early birds when it comes to voting in California. Their influence keeps perfect order around the polls. Suffrage has come *o stay not only in California, but all over the United States. In two years women will vote in every State in the Union. There is no reason why one-half the ability and integrity of the country should be deprived of the vote. Father can hold the baby while mother votes, the same as mother holds it while father votes.

Two sailors, reported to have perished with him, were found Fire boats from New York City were rushed to the Imperator to aid the Hoboken department, not only In saving the liner, but in preventing the flames from spreading to nearby shipping. Big -Panic in Steerage. Panic broke out among the 2,000 men and women steefage passengers when the Are was discovered and while they rioted and clamored to K et off the ship. The steerage pas- * nge rs were being held on board the Un er overnight. It was too late to transfer them to Ellis Island when the ship docked.

Camera Finds ‘Sick Clerk' at Ball Game New Head of the New Haven Rail way Employs Photographers as Detectives. NEW HAVEN, Aug. 30—There is con sternation in the New Haven road’s general offices here following the dis covery of the ’ company’s gum-shoe photographer at a local ball game, where he snapped a picture of a clerk out on “leave of absence for sickness. ” This photographer also has been pic turing trainmen at the bar during work ing hours and as- a result the carpet in the superintendent's office is being worn by men called to explain. With the sentence of death seem ingly weighing as lightly on him as an order of his family physician to quit smoking, Leo M. Frank, his re markable imperturability still undis turbed. is going about his final fight for life in as methodical a manner as he managed affairs of the Na tional Pencil Company, of which he was superintendent. No more dramatic display of stoi cism has ever been kndw than that of Frank, when in less than 48 hours after he had heard Judge L. S. Roan declare that he must die on th e gal lows Oetober 10 as the murderer of Mary Phagan, he ordered Herbert Schiff, his assistant, to come to the jail and go over the affairs of the pencil factory. It is understood that Frank has decided to direct in a general wfiy from the jail the work ings of the company as he did before he was charged with the most noted crime in the history of the South. Frank knows that he will not hang October 10. The motion of his coun sel for new trial will not be heard until October 4. If this is denied, the case will b e carried to the Supreme Court immediately. Year’s Wait Almost Sure. On account of the vast amount of evidence which will have to be re viewed, and the ponderous legal points that are sure to be presented, it will be impossible for that court to hand down its decision in less than several months. It is altogether likely that it will be a year before the case is either affirmed or re versed and remanded to the lower ’court. His counsel has assured him that they are confident of a reversal. At torney Luther Z. Rosser is now go ing over the evidence with Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey in an effort to reach an agreed statement of the points in^ issue in order to facilitate the work of the court and curtail the bulk of the transcript. So, realizing that his fight is not of days, hardly of months, and per haps of years, Frank has in a busi nesslike manner arranged to have his long wait ip jail made as com fortable and as useful as possible. Fits Cell as an Office. He has fitted up his cell with com fortable furniture. He has an ade quate table on which to do his work, both in reference to his fight for life and the affairs of the factory, and has brightened the appearance of the steel cage to make it as pleasant as possible during the daily visits of his wife and his mother. On the other hand, the prosecution is just as vigilant to see that there is no escape for Frank. It is determined that he shall pay with his life for that which the Solicitor so fervidly declared he took. Solicitor Dorsey, it is known. Is di recting the work of detectives, who are seeking any new evidence which might develop to strengthen the case of the State should there possibly be a reversal. The Solicitor hardly believes it is possible that the Supreme Court will send the famous ca4e back. He be lieves that the defense will largely de pend on the applause of the specta tors as an Influence on the jurors, to have the Supreme Court rule in its favor. It is said that the Solicitor will be able to prove by the jurors that they were not influenced in the slightest by the applause; in fact, that they heard none. Friends Remain Loyal. Frank’s friends have remained in tensely loyal, even after the verdict was brought in. They still maintain his absolute innocence and believe that when public feeling has had an opportunity to die down and another trial obtained, there will be as speedy a verdict clearing Frank’s name as the one by which he was branded Mary Phagan’s slayer. Attorney Reuben Arnold, worn by the four weeks of trial, left Atlanta soon after the the verdict was reach ed. but the more massive and rugged Rosser has remained on duty, pre paring the motion. Frank is proving of great assistance Lo his counsel and is now at work on a reply to the speech of the Solicitor, which he will publish if his lawyer consents.

Tango Dance Party In Swimming Pool Auto Lamps to Light Harvesting at Night WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—More than'100 non-combatant Amorican citizens slain by Federals, rebels and bandits. At least 32 other non-combatant American citizens shot or tor tured. Innocent American girls and young wives, who believed them selves protected by the American flag, maltreated before the eyes of their helpless fathers and husbands. Millions of dollars in ransom exacted from American citizens tortured or threatened with death. Property valued at more than $150,000,000, owned by Amer ican citizens, destroyed. This, in part, is the terrible story of anarchy and murder in progress in Mexico. In no section of Mexico is the situation im proved. It is steadily growing worse after eighteen mopths of an archy that has followed the overthrow of Porfirio Diaz. On July 24 Mrs. Paul Hudson, wife of the owner of the Mexi can Herald, stated that when she left Mexico City the list of Amer ican dead for 1913, on file at the American Embassy, numbered 86. Since then many others have been murdered. LIST OF THE VICTIMS IS REFUSED. The Sunday American has requested the Department of State In this city, and the American Embassy in Mexico City for this list. It was refused. 'Pile Wilson-Bryan policy of delay and non-interference in Mexico on the ground that all, or nearly ail, outrages are due to overt acts of tho Americans involved, does not find sympathy m any quarter here. In the belief of Senators and Representatives the situation has readied a crisis wheitc something must be done. Men back from Mexico a^ert that the list at the embassy is merely fragmentary. It tells only in small part the terrible story of murder, rapine and destruction enacted against Americans. Here is a partial list of the murders and other outrages com piled by The American from censored press dispatches. The com plete list can not be given for the sole reason that it is withheld from the public by an order from the White House.
