State Geologist S. W. McCallle, one of the active committee members in ( barge of arrangements, said Friday that the meeting* of next week, asid< from their benefit to science, would prove of great value in bringing be fore the scientists and the public the wonderful resources (if the South and of Georgia in particular. "New Hampshire is known aa ‘the Granite State,’ ” he said, “and yet it is a fact that Georgia produces more granite than New Hampshire. The general public, of course, Is not ac quainted with this circumstance. New Hampshire has the name and the glory of leading In this particular. It is time that Georgia made the extent of her resources known to the world. "Then there is marble. Georgia vrodpces more marble than all of the rest of the Southern States put to gether. Vermont probably is the only State in the Union that leads Georgia in the production of marble. . "AJuch of this information will be developed at the meetings of the va rious sections next week.

Roan's doubt uh to the guilt or innocence of Leo M. Frank, given expression at the time the mo tion for a new trial was overruled, will be the subject of an extended ar gument in the HUpplemental brief to be filed Saturday with the Supreme Court by the attorneys for the de fense. Because of Attorney General Fel der’s vigorous argument before the Supreme Court, attacking the validity • f the incorporation <>f Judge Roan’s expression of doubt in the bill of ex ceptions, this Incident of the long le gal battle for Frank’s life, touched on only lightly in the original brief and argument of the defense, and men tioned in the oral arguments not at all, is deemed worthy of a thorough discussion in the supplemental brief. Idrectly contradicting the Attorney General’s contention that it was an unprecedented and highly dangerous procedure to use the bill of exceptions as a vehicle for the court’s opinion or lack of opinion, the supplemental brief holds that Judge Roan, having shirked or mistaken his duty in the first place in failing to grant a new trial, had no recourse left as an offl- (ial desiring impartially to adminis ter Justice but to certify to his ex pression of opinion at the conclusion of the hearing for a new trial. C'tes Former Reversals. So far from being an unimportant or negligible ground for a new trial, the supplemental brief sets forth that the Supreme Court of Georgia in pre vious cases has repeatedly reversed the court below where it appeared from the record that the trial court, from timidity or from misapprehen sion of the law, failed to exercise his own discretion and substituted the verdict of the Jury for that discretior which it was his solemn duty to exer cise. A number of cases were cited in the original brief and argument, and were not made the subject of any discus sion. In the supplemental brief each one is taken up with some minuteness and commented upon in their bearing on the Frank case. The remainder of the supplemental brief is largely occupied with what the defense characterizes as the mis statements and misrepresentations of Solicitor General Dorsey. Reuben R. Arnold, of counsel for Frank, said Friday that he did not wish the im pression to get abroad that the de fense claimed or believed that the al leged misstatements were in any way intentional on the part of the Solici tor. "There is no doubt In our minds," be said, “that the prosecution de viated from the farts of the case a number of times. It also is tine that improve inferences were drawn in the arguments that were made by the State. Tape Evidence Recalled. "But it is not our intention at al* to charge that these misrepresenta tions were made purposely. All that we are doing Is to call them to the at tention of the Supreme Court with- CUt an effort or desire to Imply an Im proper motive In their presentation." One of the most glaringly improper inferences drawn by the Solicitor, ac cording to the supplemental brief, was contained in his charge that another tape had been substituted by Frank for the one taken out of the time clock the morning the body of Mary Phagan was found. Everything in the evidence, says the argument, pointed to the conclusion that it was the identical tape taken from the clock. The supplemental brief will cover about 30 typewritten pages. It will not he printed as the other docu ments of the case have been. The State probably will not submit a sup plemental brief, being satisfied to rest its case with the Supreme Court as it now stands. 9 Cabinet Children Go to Public Schools WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Another ev idence that this is a simple Democratic ad ministration is given by the fact that nine Cabinet children attend the public schools of Washington. John Bryan, the eight-year-old grand son of the Secretary of State, is a third grade pupil. Two of the three lively Daniels youngsters Jonathan and Frank, are in the grammar grades, but Worth is going to Western High School. David Houston, the 14-year-old son of the Secretary of Agriculture and Mrs. Houston, is also a high school pupil. His great chum there is Franklin K I«ane, Jr., son of the Secretary of the Interior. Three of the nine children of Secre tary of Labor and Mrs. Wilson are in Washington public schools Joseph, 17 'SNOW BABY.' DAUGHTER OF FINDER OF NORTH POLE, WILL MAKE DEBUT Marie Peary to Have Her “Com ing Out” at National Capital on January 22. WASHINGTON. Dec. 26.—Interest to-day centers in the coming recep tion on January 22 to be given by Admiral Robert Peary, discoverer of the North Pole, and Mrs. Peary, at which their daughter. Marie, known the world over as "Anighito," the "Snow Baby," will make her debut. Coupled with new* of the coming- cut party of the young woman, who recently graduated from Western High School, in Georgetown, was the report that announcement of her en gagement would shortly be made by her parentp. Het* engagement to Donald B. Mc Millan, leader of the Crocker Island expedition and intimate friend of her father, was made last summer, but promptly denied by both Miss Peary and McMillan. "Anighito" was the name given by the Kskimod to Miss Peary following her birth on September 12, 1893, at her father’s winter quarters at Bow- doin Bay, in the Arctic. She was the first white child in history to be horn in Hie frozen North. “Snow Baby’s” parents kept her in ADMIRAL PEARY AND 11IS DAUGHTER. the Northland until she was 2 years old, the terrible cold and long spells of darkness not In tlie least deter ring her growth. She has returned thrice to the Arctic, and has many recollections of the stirring episodes which marked her early life in that section of the world. When her father returned from his last and which proved to he his suc cessful quest for the pole "Snow Ba by" journeyed to Cape Breton with her mother to greet him, and returned with him to this city.

Alabama St. Bath Phones NEW ARRESTS IN SHRINE HOST TO EXPRESS THEFT SET X RECORD. Detective Official Says Messenger Turner Is First of Several Likely To Be Taken. More arrests as the result of the Inquiry into the alleged systematic robbery of express companies by mes sengers on mall trains are expected soon, according to a 5rtatement Friday by a Pinkerton official, who is con ducting the investigation with the agents of the United States Marshal. The Government officials are brought into the Investigation by the Carlin law. which provides for Fed eral investigation of thefts commit ted on mail trains, whether from the Government mails,- private individ uals or corporations. "Scores of cases similar to that of J. T. Turner and D T. Alexander, who were arrested Wednesday, are being investigated." said the official, "and we have Just begun to get into action. Developments indicate that there is a systematic robbery of the express companies going on and the game is being worked smoothly. "The investigation has been going on for almost a year, and while the arrest of Turner ami Alexander was the first, it is probable that there will be others soon.” Alexander, who resides at No. 129 Mills street, was arraigned before United States (’ommissioner Carter Friday charged with having received a jhotgun Turner is said to have con fess^ he stole from the Southern Ex press ’ompany. At the request of Attorney Pome- oy, who represented Alexander, and *n t v e plea that material witnesses were absent, the hearing was post- ponen until Saturday. Turner, who is said to have con fessed to a series of robberies that has puzzled detectives for more than a year, has been held to the. Federal Grand Jury on bonds of $2,000. which he furnished Thursday, in time to spend the greater part of Christmas Day with his family. Government officials declare Turner has confessed his part in the thefts, and probably will plead guilty. Alex ander, according to his attorneys, ex pects to fight his case, declaring he did not receive the shotgun with the knowledge that it had been stolen. Forrest Adair, potentate of Yaarab Temple of Shriners, predicted Friday that Atlanta will have the largest crowd of visitors in its history when the Shriners come here for their na tional convention next May. "People do not seem yet to realize the immensity of the throngs that will invade the city.” he remarked. "They seem to take it for granted that a lot of visitors will be here, but appear not to appreciate that it is a certainty that all records will be broken. "Railroad rates from all points cov ered by the Southeastern Passenger Association will be the lowest ever. This means railroad lines in all of the territory south of the Ohio and Po tomac Rivers and east of the Missis sippi. The (’entral Passenger Asso ciation and the Transcontinental lines also will give as low rates as they ever have offered. Low rates always mean a big crowd, even when there is no other special attraction. With the Imperial Council meeting here, At lanta w f ill have more visitors to en tertain than it ever had before.” Here are some of the round-trip fares: From Birmingham, Ala., $5.25; from Mobile, $10.85; from Montgomery, $5.50; from Key West, Fla., $26.40; from Pensacola. $10.35; from Augusta, $5.40; from Columbus, $3.75; from Macon, $2.90; from Savannah, $9.05; from Evansville, Ind.. $14.40; from Louisville, $13.80; from New Orleans $15.05; from Corinth, Miss., $10.05; , < $8.10; from Charlotte isr, from VVinston-Salem, $10.76; f r L,, Columbia, K.
