MARRIAGE TEST
Girl Charges That Suitor Broke MrSt Winnifred Ha rper Cooley,
Cheers for the Solicitor After
Recesses and Applause in Court
Will Be Principal Points Urged
by Lawyers for Convicted Man.
Despirate effort* to nave Leo Frank
from the gallows, to which he was
consigned by sentence of Judge Roan,
are taking definite shape. The trump
card of his lawyers will be affidavits
or showings of some sort to the effect
that certain members of the Jury
which convicted Frank were deeply
biased against him by more than on*
Incident. Meanwhile, Solicitor Dor
sey Is satisfied that the caae he made
against Frank will stand.
Argument for a new trial will be
made before Judge Roan October 4,
Just six days before the date set for
Frank's execution. Then Frank’s
lawyers, headed by Luther Rosser and
Reuben Arnold, will exhaust every re
source at their command to obtain a
new trial or to stave off the death
sentence.
Apparently Leo Frank has an Im
pregnable confidence In his advocates.
Occasional bulletins from the Tower,
where he la held, declare that ne fol
lows the usual routine of his rather
methodical life as closely since his
sentence as before. His attention to
n ■ iters of health Is scrupulous, [fi
ling dalW exercises and cold baths
a careful selection of food. He

that overshadows him.
Business Associates Visitors.
Almost every duy Fig Montag and
Herbert Sohiff, his associates In the
business of the National Pencil Fac
tory. are his visitors, besides other
friends. His wife and his fathtr In
law come also, bearing his meals and
hardly a minute of the day Is he
alone Rut never a time during the
day Is there any appearance of per
turbation on the part of the prisoner.
Neither have his lawyers exhibit'd
any signs of dismay. It is generally
believed that they are confident tin y
can prove the existence of undue
prejudice against their client, nnd an
element of unfairness In his trial.
This they will attempt to prove by
a chain of Incidents, chief jiinong
which will be cheering which attend
ed the appearance of Solicitor Dor
sey outside the courtroom on more
than one occasln, nnd the npplau .s
which burst out even In the court
room when the trial was at Its most
tense point.
It may he that the fight of the de
fense will he made along other lines
as well, but none of them has beo.i
revealed, nothing except the charge
of undue Influence on the Jurymen.
With the Interest that has grown
about the figure of Frank, the negro
Jim Conley almost has been forgot
ten. However, he was recalled last
week when It was announced an ef
fort would be made to obtain his In
dictment by the Grand Jury on the
charge of being an accessory after the
fact In the murder of Marv Pbag.m.
In the light of Frank's conviction and
the negr s own statement on the wit
ness stand. It is believed this will oe
effected without delay.
Await Day of Argument.
Altogether, for the first time since
the murder of Mary Phagnn. the cas»
has aasumed something of an un
eventful tone There Is still the en
thralling interest with which all At
lantans have invested the case, and
the lawyers involved are laying their
plans without cat. Rut the Interest
must wait and the speculation must be
held up until the day for the argu
ments before Judge Roan.
It appeared at one time last week
as If a lively Interest in the case
would break out like fire, when Clara
Bell Griffin. an emplo\ee of the Na
tional Pencil Factory, as was Marv
Pbagan, was mysteriously missing f >r
the space of a Jay. Then it was that
speculation was rife, and all sorts >f
possibilities were suggested. Rut the
rlrl was found at Grady Hospital,
ind the s'’' r ^estlon of another Mary
Phr.gan mystery, and a likely effect
jn the Frank case, was driven away.
‘Eight Below Zero
Sure 'Nuff Winter'
Engagement on Ground That
Brother Had Tuberculosis.
CHICAGO. Sept. 6.—The first suit
to test the law of eugenics has been
brought by Mias Rose Markewsky, of
No. 907 Myrtle street. She filed,
through her attorney, Clarence A.
Toolen, a bill for $25,000 against
Charles F. Drucker, of No. 928 South
Ashland avenue, charging that he
broke their engagement on the ground
that her older brother has tubercu
losis.
"This so-called chivalrous excuse of
Mr. Drucker may be_eugenics, but I
can not see it,” declared Miss Mar-
kewsky.
"The very Idea of his resorting to
these tactics Is not only contemptible
but ridiculous. Why did not he show
a spark of manhood and ask to be
released from his engagement with
out trumping up such an absurd ex
cuse.
"If eugenics enters into the case at
all, I feel confident that any Jury
would make the breaking of the en
gagement optional with me. I can
play better golf and tennis than Mr.
Drucker. In fact, I think any vio
lent exercise test. He could not even
stand the physical test for the police
department.
"Wait until my so-called invalid
brother hears about this that’s all.
Mr. Drucker can not trifle with my
affections and expect to get away with
impunity. This suit is not for revenge
but to give Mr. Drucker an opportuni
ty for serious meditation In future
years.”

BELLEFONTAINE, OHIO, Sept. 6.
The village of Degraff, Logan County,
has a municipally owned electric light
plan. The plant has been operated
only at night because no power serv
ice was sold.
Recently an agent visited the vil
lage and sold such a quantity of
electric irons that petitioners in pet
ticoats asked village officials to op
erate the electric light plant in day
light hours so that the Irons could be
used.
Tuesday thereupon was selected as
Ironing day, and the electric light
plant was operated Ta- slay mornings
for the benefit of owners of electric
Irons.
Mrs. Winnifred Harper Cooley, na
tional president of the Associated
Clubs of Domestic Science, with
headquarters In New York City, and
recognized all over the country as an
expert on food, agreed to undertake
an experiment In living on 9 cents a
day. For a week she lived well and
at a total cost of 63 cent?, working
regularly, both mentally and physi
cally. and attending to her ordinary
avocations s
She was In fine feUIe at the end of
the experiment, stronger in body and
even better fitted for sustained mental
effort. Furthermore, she lost ten
pounds of superfluous flesh, thereby
gaining greater ease and more free
dom and grace of movement. She
tells the results of her experiment:

"It has often distressed me to see
working girls—and hard-working
men, too—spending the 6mall f*ums
which they allow themselves for lunch
on impossible bakery products—soggy
pies and sour puffs,” says Mrs. Cooley.
"I know that some of the most nutri
tious foods In the world are the
cheapest. The cereals and whole
grains, untampered with by foolish
producers; the cheaper cuts of meat,
so universally neglected, yet which
make most appetizing stews; the sim
ple vegetables and fruits, uncolored
with coal tar dyes and unpreserved
with artificial and chemical preserva
tives—all of these go to build up u
strong body and a clear brain, and
yet are very cheap.

Banker Weds to Get

Los Angeles Financier Finds That
Woman He Married Cherished
Different Purpose.
I become, In the zeal of the experi
ment, that I found myself the last
day with 7 cents to the good. A ter
rible moral struggle then transpired!
Why pamper myself by unnecessarily
spending the 7 cents* all at once and
gorge myself to repletion with an ex
tra egg or two, or even several fat
bananas, when I could get along quite
comfortably the last day on the same
type of diet which had stood me In
good stead for six days? Of course,
one loves to overeat: but do not
Rockefeller and Carnegie and other
omniscient multi-millionaires tell us
that it is by saving the pennies that
we may become plutocrats of the
highest rank?
Can Live on Even Less.
"With visions of Hetty Green de
lighting my mind’s eye, I therefore
nobly withstood the somewhat natural
desire to minister to my conventional
appetite, and saved the 7 cents as a
nucleus for my future vast fortune.
"It will readily be seen, then, that
the average was reduced from 10
cents a day to 9 cents.
"It is. of course, possible to live on
even less. One may exist on dried
apples and cereals, and, naturally, if
one buys in quantities and always
raw material and cooks the edible*
herself, there will be a saving ovei
that spent when s»he purchases bakers
bread, for instance.
"On the other hand, for a very little
more, one can have many ‘luxuries
which I did not permit myself on 9
cents dally. Among these I might
mention, breast of lamb (15 cents'
worth, which makes a delicious stew
that will last several meals), prunes,
rhubarb, stewed dates and figs, plenty
of egg* 3 , milk and buttermilk, apd the
less expensive green vegetables.
"But the Important thing is, that
for the sum of 9 cents per day it is
quite possible, not only to exist, but
to live comfortably, work strenuously,
bodily and mentally."
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—When
President Wilson a few days ago par
doned a Texas banker who had been
sent to the penitentiary for violation
of the national banking laws, few
persons knew that he did so at the
request of his old bodyguard, “Silent
Bill” McDonald, who came all the way
from Dallas to lay the case before
him.
"Silent Bill’' is now United States
Marshal for the Northern District of
Texas, thanks to the President, and
one of his first duties was to take
the convicted banker to the peniten
tiary to serve a five-year term. On
the way the banker told his 6tory to
“Bill," and so Impressed was the vet
eran ranger that h« at once started
an investigation on his own account.
In the meantime friends of the
banker had succeeded in. getting the
sentence reduced from five years to
a year and a day. But this did not
satisfy "Bill.” He had found that all
the man had told him was true, and
he did not hesitate to say that no in
nocent man was going to stay in the
penitentiary if he could help it. His
friends said he w r as foolish to proceed
any further, as everything possible
had been done.
"No, it hasn’t,” said "Bill.” ‘Til pay
my own fare to Washington and lay
this case before the President rather
than see an innocent man do time in
the pententiary. I know the man is
innocent, and I won’t rest until he is
freed.”
So "Bill” packed his suit case and
started for Washington, armed with
the papers in the case.
On his arrival here he went at once
to the Department of Justice, where
he was told that nothing further
could be done for the banker. "Well,
w r e’ll see about that.” said “Bill.”
‘‘Bill” saw’ the President and the
next day the banker was pardoned.
LOS ANGELES. Sept. 6.—M. J.
Monnette, vice president of the Citi
zens’ National Bank, and director In

to Europe that he and Mrs. Monnette
had separated and would not again
live together. They w T ere married
June 3, last.
Mr. Monnette stated that two weeks
after the ceremony he discovered that
It w’as a big mistake and a grave
disappointment. He married, he said,
for a companion in his home, but he
found that Mrs. Monnette had not
married for that purpose. Financial
arrangements were settled, he said,
and Mrs. Monnette, who was Eliza

GARY, IND., Sept. 6.—"Andy” Hat-

fame in the clean-face contest in the

He has played all summer w’ith oth

Property at Seance.
ST. LOUIS, Sept. 6.—Stephen F.
Oarlock's determination to expose an
alleged conspiracy between hia wife
of the flesh, Mary, and the material
ized spirit of his first wife was re
vealed when he started an action for
a divorce to-day. He Is 69 yean, old
and a Civil War veteran.
Hts principal charge la that hie wife
Inveigled him Into a spiritualistic se
ance and there called up the spirit of
his dead wife, who advieed him to
transfer his real estate to the living
wife.
The petition does not set out In
detail all that transpired at the *a-
ance. It recites .that when he re
fused to sign away his property as
directed by the spirit of his first wife
the second wife, in the presence of all
the real ’and materialized spirits,
called him “an uneducated, unrefined
and ignorant damned fool,” causing
him great humiliation.
It was through the Influence of a
daughter by his first marriage that he
was prevented from signing the deed,
according to Mr. Garlock. The peti
tion alleges that, falling to get his
property in this way, Mrs. Garlock
persuaded him to give a note to her
for $500, secured by deed of trust on
real estate, and that a week later she
had the locks on the doors of his room
changed and bolted him out.
