Year’s Delay Assured Should Ap peal Be Carried to High Court. Friends See Final Vindication. State Still Seeks New Evidence. Atlanta’s most beautiful babies according to four of the city’s leading photographers. From left to right they are Louis Magid, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Ma of Hirshburg & Phillips. Next is Mr .and Mrs. Lewis D. Sharpe’s baby, Lundie, selected by Lenny. Then Richardson Songster .son of Mr. and Mrs. A .V. Sangster, the choice of McCrary. On the right is Francis Hill, son of Mr. and Mrs. Mohr Hill, No. 37 Colquitt avenue, who is Thurston Hatcher’s choice- Magid. He is the selection of Inman Park. He is 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 know 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 October 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 way 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 be 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 ar e 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 in jail made as com fortable and as useful as possible. Fits Cell as an Office. He has fitted up his cell w'ith 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 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 case 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. FTank is proving of great assistance to his counsel and is now at work on a reply to the speech of the Solicitor, which he will publish if his lawyer consents. Feminine Committee Arranges to Voice Emphatic Protest Before Tuesday’s Board Meeting. Mothers in the Eighth Ward are up In arms aeainst the proposed leasing of Piedmont Park by the Park Board to the Barnum & Bailey Circus, Oc tober 27, and they are going to voice their opposition, too, in no uncertain tones when the board meets Tuesday night. They contend Piedmont Park is tho playground of their children and was so intended w hen the city devoted the land to park purposes. They declare the proposition to lend this pubiU playground for financial gain is notn- ing short of preposterous. A meeting of these women was held Saturday and a committee was named to appear Tuesday night and put fqrward the most vigorous oppo sition. In this the womei\ have a strong ally in Mayor Woorward. The Mayor has announced his resolve to attend the meeting and to fight the proposi tion on the floor. If he does not suc ceed there, he will use every infl:i J ence of his office to checkmate thd move. The Mayor contends that the circus in one day will tear down all the shrubbery and tear up all the grass that the city has spent years in nurs ing to develop the park’s beauty. “If the park is to be used for com mercial gain,” asks the Mayor terse ly, “why not cut it up into building lots and have an auction?” ON PARCEL POST Wells-Fargo Enters Fight for Farm to Consumer Trade. Says Rivals Will Aid. Four Little Beauties, Apparently a* Healthy as . ___ . m They Are Fair. 30 LOSE LllltS IN CHICAGO. Aug. 30.—Officials and agents of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, in session to-day in Chi cago, struck a hard blow' at the par cel post when they decided to fight the innovation of the Government with its own \veapon-*-low rates. It was asserted to-night by offi cials of this company that other ex press companies are contemplating taking similar action in the war against the parcel post. In future the cltv dweller who wants fresh butter and eggs upon hi? breakfast table will, according to ex press officials, do well to consult the rate column of any express company. Firms Form New Bureau. Recently the* express companies have created “an order commission and food products department.” The object of this department, according to the companies, is to “study the food problem from all viewpoints, to enlarge the order and commission feature of our business and to extend the company’s facilities to all, with out discrimination.” “The express companies have de cided to fight the parcel ppst with its own weapon—low rates.” said L. F. Troja, industrial agent of the Wells- Fargo Express Gompany, to-day. Instruct 25.000 Employees. “The 25,000 employees of our com pany along its 90,000 'miles'of rail road track have been instructed to ascertain what kinds of shipmenis are obtainable from their offices and to have shippers apply for rates. “At the present time the express companies are willing to furnish rates on butter, eggs and cheese which will enable citizens of Chicago and other large cities to ship in these commodi ties at a low price. "The companies are seeking to give a maximum weight for a minimum charge of 35 cent*’ Rer shipment, no matter what the distance. For in stance. the person who wishes to get English walnuts. prunes or other products from the Pacific Coast may now obtain them for the lowered rate. Plan to Post Farmers. “Perhaps the best way to make use < of the cheap express rates is to form butter and egg clubs, agreeing to take at least 30 pounds at once of these commodities from one fanner. If these clubs are formed It w ill be easy for the express companies to have eggs selling in Chicago for 21 cents, which, under ordinary circumstances, would sell for 25 cents. Butter can also be purchased much cheaper by this means.” The express companies have ar ranged to inform farmers what, farm products are needed, And where, and by this information bureau they will attempt to “beat the parcel post.” Three Injured in Fall of Aeroplane Andre Debuissey, Unable to Volplane, Is Pinned Under Wreckage of His Car.

The engine went wrong and Debuissey tried to volplane, but the machine turned over when 50 feet from the ground. The aviator was pinned under the car and was the most severely injured 1 of the three. Atlanta’s baby beauty supply is second to none in the world. Ask any Atlanta photographer and he will say the statement is axiomatic. The photographers ought to know. Every proud father and mother think their baby is the most beautiful, and they want that beauty preserved by the photographer’s art. And the cam era man has to see every manner and style of infantile pulchritude. Nat urally they uecome expert judges. Recently four of the leading pho tographers were asked to choose the picture of the prettiest baby who had visited their galleries recently. The task was a difficult one. It required the utmost diplomacy, for the pho tographers know the views of the parents on this subject. They assumed the task though, and each mad- a selection. Louis Magid, Jr., Is One. To Hirshburg & Phillips, Louis Ma gid, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Magid. presented the quintessence child beauty. The face is open, splen didly molded. The high forehead is crowned by glorious wavy hair. Th^ bright, twinkling eyes are set far apart. Good nature is indicated in every curve of the mouth, w’hile the head sits gracefully on a strong neck and fine shoulders. Of an entirely different but equally striking type is Lundie Sharpe, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis D. Sharpe’s child, whom Lenny selects as the most beautiful baby. The eyes are deep set and thoughtful, but none the less luminous. The face is almost a per fect oval. The hair, inclined to curl, is fair, w hile poise and an even tem perament are shown in th t m uth. McCrary likes the rollicking, joilv little Richardson Sangster, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. V. Sangster of Inman Park. Who wouldn’t, though? His great forehead mounts a pair of eyes that were made for laughing. Toe mouth that blesses this little fellow couldn’t pout. His sturdy good na ture is told in every line of his pic ture. Francis Hill “Little Prince.” The princely little Francis Hill, sjh of Mr. and Mrs. Mohr Hill, No. :’7 Colquitt avenue, is Thurston Hatch er’s choice. Seldom is a more grace ful child seen. His bearing is self- confident. His eyes arq studious, but merry. His mouth i§ made for speaking the wisdom or tlie sages or the quips of the comedian. And all four of these little beauties are apparently as healthy as they are fair. The photographers believe that their quartets could successfully challenge the world. .
