OP JURY BUS 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 th*» 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 show ings of some sort to the effer t 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 case he made against Frank will stand. Argument for a new trial will b'* 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 Iy«o Frank has nn Im pregnable confidence In his advocates Occasional bulletins from the Tower, where he is held, declare that ne fol lows the usual routine of his rather methodical llf<“ as closely since his sentence ns before. His attention to matters of health Is scrupulous. In cluding daily exercises and cold baths and a careful selection of food. He directs the affairs of his factory by daily consultation with his asslstan's 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 Slg Montag and Herbert Schlff, bis associates In tin* business of the National Pencil Fac tory, are Ills visitors, besides other friends. His wife and bis fntllt r In law come also, bearing his meals and hardly a minute of the day Is he alone Hut 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 tic y 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 which will be cheering which attend ed the appearance of Solicitor Dor H«*y outside the courtroom on more than one occasin, and the applau is which hurst 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 he made along other lino as well, but none of them has bce.i revealed, nothing except the charge of undue influence on the Jurymen. 1th the interest that has grown about the figure of Frank, the negro Jim Conley almost has been forgot ten However, he was recalled las' week when It was announced an ef fort would he made to obtain his In d’etment by the Grand Jury on the charge of being an accessory after the f.i • in the murder of M irv Phagan. Jn ’be light of Frank's conviction and the negr 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 Mary Phagan. the cas.*» 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 involv'd are laying their plans without <st. . Hut the Interest must wait and the speculation must be held up until the lav for the argu ments before Judge Roan. It appeared at one time last week ns if a lively Interest In the case would break out like tire, when Clara Bell Griffin. an employee of th< Na tional Pencil Factory, as was Mary Phagan. was mysteriously missing f >r the space of a Jay Then It was that speculation was rife, and all sorts »f possibilities were suggested. But the girl was found at Grady Hospital, and the suggestion of another Mary Phagan mystery, and a likely effect on the Frank case, was driven away. ‘Eight Below Zero Sure ’Nuff Winter’ Luther Burbank Tells Story of Lake Saranac Landlord Who Adver tised His Resort. $25,0GG LOVE Hi LIS SUIT A EUGENIC ON 3 CTS.

CHICAGO, Sept. 6.—The first suit to test the law of eugenics has been brought by Miss Hose Markewsky. of No. 907 Myrtle street. She filed, through her attorney, Clarence A Toolen, a bill for $25,000 against < ’harles 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 < an not see it," declared Miss Mar- kewsky, “The very idea of bis 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. Druckef In fact i t hlitk any vto - 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.

Electric Plant Sets A Day for Ironing Housewives Demand That Current be Turned on While Sun Shines for Washing Purposes. BELI.EFONT AINE, qfUO, Sept. 6. The village of Dog raff. 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 a* ironing day, and the electric light plant was operated Tie adny mornings for the benefit of owners of electric Irons. Makes Experiment. Mps. 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 53 centv, 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) 0} 1 mess spinach 05 I loaf whole wheat bread 10 Cocoa (1-5 lb. can) 10 Baked Beans 10 1-2 package natu r al rice 00 1-5 lb. oleomargarine 05 3 bananas 05 1-3 lb. sugar .. * 02 X °? 1 apple 02 Total for food for 1 week (9c per day 63 Nutritious Food Cheap. “It has often distressed me to see working girls—and hard-working men, too—spending the small pums 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. “And mo. 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. “So successful and so provident did Two Meals a Day Costing Nine Cents MONDAY.

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 bv unnecessarily spending the 7 centv 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 comfortan'y 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, T 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 centv. “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 edibles 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, which makes a delicious stew that will last several meals), prunes, rhubarb, stewed dates and figs, plenty of eggs*, milk and buttermilk, and 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 bem sent to the penitentiary for violation of the national banking law's, few* persons knew' that ife 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 B11K’ 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 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 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 “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, w r here 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.
