V Prisoner and His Counsel Are Equally Confident They Will Be Able to Get a New Trial on Ground of Outside Influences. Cheers for the Solicitor After Recesses and Applause in Court Will Be Principal Points Urged by Lawyers for Convicted Man. Desperate efforts to save Leo Prank from the gallows, to which ho 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 om incident. Meanwhile, Solicitor Dor sey Is satisfied that the case 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 stavo off the death sentence. Apparently Leo Frank has an Im pregnable confidence In hlfi advocates. Occasional bulletins from the Tower, where h<* Is held, declare that ne fol lows the usual routine of his rftther methodical life as closely since his sentence as before. His attention to matters of health is scrupulous. In cluding dally exercises and cold baths and a careful selection of food. He directs the affairs of his factory by daily consultation with his assistants and associates. He receives his friends with a calmness that would make him out Indifferent to the fate that overshadows him. Business Associates Visitors. Almost every day Rig Montag and Herbert Schlff, his associates In the business of the National Pencil Fac tory, are his visitors, besides other friends. His wife and his father-In law' come also, bearing his meals and hardly a minute of the day Is he alone. But 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 1« generally believed that they are confident they can prove the existence of undue prejudice against their client, and an element of unfairness in his trial. This they will attempt to prove by a chain of Incidents, chief among w'hich will be cheering which attend ed the appearance of Solicitor Dor sey outside the courtroom on more than one occasln, and the applauds which burst out even in the court room when the trial was at Its most tense point. It may be that the fight of the de fense will be made along other lines as w’ell, but none of them has been 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 Mary Phagan. In the light of Frank’s conviction and the negro's own statement on the wit ness stand, it is believed this will be effected without delay. Await Day of Argument. Altogether, for the first time since the murder of Mary Phagan, the case has assumed 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 est. But 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 employee of the Na tional Pencil Factory. «s was Mary Phagan, was mysteriously missing f^r the space of a jav Then It was that speculation was rife, and all sorts >f Dosalbllitles were suggested. But the rirl was found at Grady Hospital, ind the H’^estlon of another Mary Phagan mystery, and a likely effect jn the Frank case, was driven away.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—The first suit to test the law of eugenics has been brought by Miss Hose Mark^wsky, of No 907 Myrtle street. She filed, through her attorney, Clarence A„ Toolen, a bill for $25,000 against Charles F.

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.

NEWPORT, Sept. 6.—Mips Mar guerite Caperton, daughter of Rear Admiral and Mrs. William P. Caper ton. is the most graceful and Indeed the most untiring tango dancer in so ciety here.

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 cf 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 Tuesday 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 w’ell and at a total cost of 63 cents*, working regularly, both mentally and physi cally. and attending to her ordinary avocations. She was In fine fettle 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: Foods Purchased. 1-3 (12-lb.) basket (9) potatoes (old) 05 1 mess spinach 05 1 loaf whole wheat bread 10 Cocoa (1-5 lb. can) 10 Baked Beans 10 1-2 package natural rice 06 1-5 lb. oleomargarine 05 3 bananas 05 1-3 lb. sugar 02 1 egg 03 1 apple 02 Total for food for 1 w'eek (9c per day 63 Nutritious Food Cheap. "It has often distressed me to see working girls—and hard-working men, too—spending the small sums 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 wdth artificial and chemical preserva tives—all of these go to build up u strong body and a clear brain, and yet are very cheap. **And eo. without any theories or fads as to the desirability of eating this or that ‘health food,’ I decided to limit my menu to 10 cents a day fora week.

Captain “Bill” McDonald, an Old Texas Ranger, Pleads Case of Convicted Financier, 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 cent? all at once and gorge myself to repletion with an ex tra egg or tw'o, 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 plutocrat? 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 cent?. “It Is. of course, possible to live on even less. One may exist on dried apples and cereal?, and, naturally, If one buys in quantities and always raw material and cooks the edible* herself, there will be a saving over that spent when ?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 daily. Among these I might mention, breast of lamb (15 cents' worth, w'hich makes a delicious stew that will last several meals), prunes, rhubarb, stewed dates and figs, plenty of eggs*, 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 story to “Bill,” and so impressed was the vet eran ranger that he at once started I an investigation on his own account. In the meantime friends of the banker had succeeded In getting the sentence reduced from five years lO a year and a day. But this di„ 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 was foolish to proceed any further, as everything possible had been done. “No, it hasn’t,” said “Bill.” ‘‘I’ll 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 “Bid” 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. “Weil, we’ll see about that." said “Bill.” “Bill” saw the President and the next day the banker was pardoned.
