Chance to Boost Georgia.
State Geologist S. W. McOallie, one
of iho active committee members in
charge of arrangements, said Friday
that the meetings 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 of the South and
of Georgia in particular.
"New Hampshire is known as ‘the
Granite State,’ ” he said, “and yet it
if 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
produces 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.
“Much of this Information will be
developed at the meetings of the va
rious sections next week. The enor
mous mineral resources of the South
ern States have been surveyed and
measured by the Federal and State
geological surveys and these re
sources are represented on a large
scale map recently prepared at
Washington.
Minerals on Exhibition.
“This map. with charts showing the
mineral products for 1912. will he on
exhibit here in the Capitol through
out the sessions of the association.
Among the mineral exhibits that
will accompany the charts will be
fourteen samples of coal from len
Southern States anti twelve samples
of oil from four Southern States
There also will be samples of gran
ite, marble ami other stones from
eight States, as well as sulphur,
bauxite, phosphate rock, fuller's earth
and other mineral products.”
The minister* of Atlanta have been
asked to preach sermons next Sunday
on the relation of science and re
ligion. and the majority of them will
comply.

Judge L. S. Roan’s doubt as 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 supplemental brief to
be filed Saturday with the Supreme
Court by the attorneys for the de
fense.
Because of Attorney General Fel
ders vigorous argument before the
Supreme Court, attacking the validity
*f the incorporation of Judge Roan’s
expression of doubt in the bill of ex
ceptions. this incident of the long le-
gat battle for Prank’* life, touched on
only lightly in the original brief and
argument of the defense, and men-
i tinned in the oral arguments not at
all, is deemed Worthy of a thorough
discussion in the supplemental brief.
Directly 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 (•pinion, the supplemental
brief holds that Judge Roan, having
shirked or mistaken his duty In the
lirst place In failing to grant a new
trial, had no recourse left as an offi
cial 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.
Cites 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 discretion
which it was his solemn duty to exer
cise.
A number of cases were c ited in the
original brief and argument, and were
not made the subject of any discus*
slon. 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 ns the mis-
'tateffients and misrepresentations of
Solicitor General Dorsey. Reuben R.
Arnold, of counsel for Frank, said
Fflday 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,”
"he said, “that the prosecution de
viated from the facts of the case a
number of times. It also is true that
improper inferences were drawn in
the arguments that w ere made by the
State.
Tape Evidence Recalled.
“But it is not our intention at all
to charge that these misrepresenta
tions wait mad* purposely AH that
we are doing is to call them to the at
tention of the Supreme Court with
out 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 ('barge 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 be 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.

'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 “Anighlto,” 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 parents.
Her 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.
“Anighlto” was the name given by
the Eskimos to Miss Peary following
her birth on September 12, 1893, at
her father’s winter quarters at Bow
el oin Bay, in the Arctic. She was the
first white child in history to be born
in the frozen North.
“Snow Baby’s’’ parents kept her in

the Northland until she was 2 years
old, the terrible cold and long spells
of darkness not in the 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 tfliich proved to be 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.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.—Another ev
idence that this Is a simple Democratic
administration 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
|Lane. Jr., son of the Secretary of the
I Interior.
Three of the nine children of Secre
tary of Labor and Mrs. Wilson are in
jWashington public schools—Joseph, 17;
Jessie, 11. and James. 16.

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 mail trains are expected
soon, according to a statement Friday
by a Pinkerton official, who is con-
iucting the investigation with the
agents of the United States Marshal.
The Government officials are
brought into the investigation by the
Jarlin 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 and 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 Commissioner Carter
Friday charged with having received
a jhotgun Turner is said to have con
fess*?-! he stole from the Southern Ex
press Company.
At the request of Attorney Pome-
•oy, who represented Alexander, and
on t v e plea that material witnesses |
were absent, the hearing was post
poned 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-
end 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 Central 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 whon there is
no other special attraction. With the
Imperial Council meeting here, At- |
lanta will have more visitors to en- I
tertain than it ever had before.”

fares:
