for New Parleys on Sub
marine Warfare.
(Continued From Page 1.)
hours after the receipt of the Amer
ican note in Berlin.
Long Discussion Expected.
That Impression, reflected toy State
Deportment officials, is that Germany
would yield, however otubborn, to the
human appeal voiced by President
Wilson. It was predicted at that time
that instead of making abrupt an
swer Germany would see to it that the
discussion covered a long period of
time and Involved many legal tech-
nicsJiUes.
The affair of the Nebraskan, with
the possibility that this American
veeeel was attacked by a German
submarine la thus far the only cir
cumstance which has arisen to cast
doubt upon the correctness of this
view of the situation.
The impression prevailed In the de
partment that the German note would
be made public In Berlin before It is
given to the preas In Washington.
This was the procedure followed by
the State Department when the Pres
ident's note was sent to Germany.
The following statement was given
cut si the Berlin Foreign Office:
“Germany's reply to President Wll-
eon's note concerning the German
submarine warfare will be handed to
James W. Gerard, the United States
Ambassador, some time on Saturday.
Publication of the German reply will
be allowed on Sunday."
Administration Concerned.
The uncertainty about the contents
of the reply, relating particularly io
the Lusitania case; the delay of Ger
many 4n adjusting the controversy
which has arisen out of the destruc
tion of the Gulflight and Frye, and
the growing undercurrept of feeling
here that Germany will attempt to
prolong diplomatic correspondence
on all these cases gave much concern
to the Administration
One report was that Germany first
will seek to have the United States
answer “yes” or "no” to the ques
tions:
"Did the Lusitania have aboard
war munitions for the Allies? Was
she a peaceful merchantman or an
auxiliary cruiser mounting concealed
cannon? Did she carry Canadian sol
diers bound for the front?”
Of extreme importance also is the
result of the investigation now in
progress by American naval experts
to determine whether the steamer
Nebraskan was struck by a mine or
torpedoed by a German submarine. A
finding to the latter effect will ag
gravate greatly the present delicate
situation.
To Demand Lusitania Facts.
Much credence is given here to re
ports that before answering the
United States directly on the future
conduct of Its submarine warfare
Germany will stipulate that the |
United States confine its representa
tions to the broad subject of the facts I
in the Lusitania case before taking
up the general policy of submarine
attacks It is pointed out that if
these rumors be true Germany mav
consume a gTeat deal of time in
reaching an agreement on facts be
fore she get* down to the real point
involved—the safety of American
lives aboard passenger ships of bel
ligerents or the vessels of neutral na
tions.
The fact that the German Ambas
sador, Count von Bernstorff, has
wired his Government that the press
of the United States Is impatient
oveT the delay in the German reply
and that it is claimed the Nebraskan
case has made the tension greater is
expected to hasten the answer of the
Kaiser.

Dr, Marx Brands as False Ru
mors That Wife of Accused
Man Considered'Divorce.
With but several hour* Intervening
before the hearing Monday before the
State Prison Commission of Leo M.
Frank’s appeal for a commutation of
the death sentence to life imprison
ment, additional pleas for mercy for
the condemned man from judges, offi
cials and prominent people in all
parts of the country Saturday flooded
the offices of the Prison Commission
and Governor Slaton.
One of the most Interesting of the
appeals came from Rabbi David Marx,
who, in a strong letter, explained that
he wished to set at rest rumors cir
culated against Frank because of the
failure of his wife to visit him in
prison the first few days after his ar
rest, and also to brand as false the
report that Frank and Mrs. Frank
were on the eve of a divorce at the
time of Frank’s arrest.
Dr. Marx, after reciting the fact
that Mrs. Frank did visit the police
station to see her husband the day of
his arrest, declared that because “of
rude treatment accorded her there,
rank became solicitous of her wel
fare and begged him to prevail on
Mrs. Frank to remain away from the
prison.”
Frank did this in the firm belief
that he would be free within a few
days, wrote Dr. Marx. Dr. Marx said
it was on the advice of himself and
other friends of hYank that Mrs.
Frank did not visit her husband for
several days, although, he said, they
communicated every day by tele
phone.
As to rumors that Mrs. Frank
doubted her husband’s Innocence, Dr.
iMarx said:
"Her grief was profound. Far from
doubting her husband’s Innocence,
she was outraged that even a breath
of suspicion should have fallen upon
him.”
Dr. Marx officiated at the wedding
of Frank and Mrs. Frank, and in de
nying that their married life had been
unhappy and tj>at divorce proceedings
were threatened he wrote;
"During their engagement and after
their marriage I had ample opportu
nity and occasion for witnessing their
affection. They were devoted to each
other. In my position I hear much
of family trials and troubles, also of
gossip, but never a woi*d reflecting on
this couple.”
Dr. Marx further explained that he
had known Frank intimately ever
since the latter came to Atlanta, and
that they had been closely associated
in philanthropic and other such work.
He summarized his impressions of
Frank in this wise;
Pays Frank High Tribute.
‘In all of these years I found in him
that culture, freedom from passion
and consideration of others, purity of
speech and clarity of thought, coupled
with a firm faith in God and in hu
manity, that have characterized his
action and utterances since his accu
sation.”
Dr. Marx pointed out that Frank
even had made no criticism of Judge
Roan when the latter denied him a
new trial after expressing serious
doubts as to his guilt.
In a telegram Saturday to Governor
Slaton announcement was made that
a delegation will leave Chicago Sat
urday night for Atlanta bearing peti
tions with the signatures of 500.000
Chicagoans asking mefey for Frank.
The delegation will arrive Monday
and will appear before both the Gov
ernor and the Prison Commission.
This delegation consists of John M.
O’Conner, chief justice of the Crimi
nal Court of Cook County; Harlow N.
Higinbottom and Mrs. Mary Delaney
Fisher, vice president of the Southern
Women’s Club of Chicago. In answ r er
to a telegram from Lester L. Bauer,
secretary of the Leo M. Frank com
mittee. of Chicago, as to whether he
would receive the delegation. Govern
or Slaton sent the following reply:
Will Be Out of City.
’Replying to telegram, I will, of
course, receive courteously any gen
tlemen, but Frank case may not reach
me. and I could not hear argument.
Matter is before Prison Commission.
It is likely I will be out of the city
Monday, but will be in Atlanta Tues
day.”
The Governor will be In LaGrange
Monday, where he already had prom
ised to deliver the commencement ad
dress in the college In which his moth
er, his wife’s mother and his two sis
ters graduated.
In a strong appeal Saturday for
commutation of the death sentence, T.
J. Simmons, one of the presidents of
Brenau College. Gainesville, wrote
that the last request of his wife on
her deathbed a year ago was for him
to do something in an effort to save
Frank, as she firmly believed him in
nocent.
’I make this appeal as a solemn and
sacred duty,” wrote the college presi
dent.
Denver Sends Petition*.
A telegram also was received by
the Governor* Saturday from Denver
stating that a mass meeting was held
there Friday night in the Woman’s
Club, and that petitions had been ex
pressed to Atlanta bearing thousands
of names. Among the signers of the
telegram were Judge Tully Scott,
Justice of the Colorado Supreme
Court, and Professor XV. H. Smiley,
superintendent of Denver public
schools.
Among the other appeals deceived
Saturday were letters from United
States Senator James K. Vardaman.
of Mississippi; Congressman A. A
Gregg, of Texas; Congressmen B. M.
Chiperfield and John A. Sterling, of
Illinois, and Governor J. F Hanna, of
North Dakota Among the new ap
peals from Atlanta lawyers were let
ters from Alex C. King and Jack J.
Spalding.
Here y s Brand
New Idea in
Reforms
The tide of reform legislation is by
no mean* ebbing, as good old stand-
pat politicians would have the coun
try believe, if the experiences of
Councilman Claude L. Ashley are a
true barometer. This official, who is
chairman of the Council Sanitary
Committee, though radical enough to
Insist upon keeping lids on garbage
cars and similar regulations, fears he
can not class with the true progres
sives.
For instance, a woman called him
by telephone recently to request the
introduction of an ordinance requir
ing the claws of chickens to be
clipped. Chickens of some of the
residents of her neighborhood had
been playing havoc with gardens and
flower beds of others. The neighbor
ly spirit was entirely too etrong to
kill the chickens and the wronged
householders had placed their hope
In modern legislation and scientific
surgery.
Even more recently a man called
upon him to ask that the throwing of
cigarette butts on the streets be
stopped. The Councilman was some
what puzzled and the citizen took
him down to Five Points for an illus
tration.
A group of small boys were stand
ing around the curb. The stranger
flipped a partly smoked cigarette
down on the pavement and several
boys promptly dived for It. There
was argument for reform, surely.

Law School Debate
Against Federal Law
The question of a Federal divorce
law, as a topic for spirited debate,
was decided on the negative side after
a lively argument by six students of
the Atlanta Law’ School In their an
nual contest; and Hewitt W Cham
bers was awarded the gold medal for
the best debate, he having won second
place last year in a similar event.
The principal argument offered
against a Federal divorce law was
that the question of divorce should
above all thirtgs be close to the peo
ple, and that each State should be al
lowed to make and administer laws
best suited to the needs of its citizens.
Mr. Chambers, Franoi9 X. Paveslch
and Samuel A. Lokey were on the
negative side, opposed by Henry
Grady Bell, Herbert M. Blanton and I.
Leonard Crawford for the affirmative.
The judges were Dr. J. J. Hall, Judge
George L. Bell and John Y. Smith.
Farmer Accused of
Concealing Whisky
Mose McKurley, a farmer living at
Duluth, Gwinnett County, was held
Saturday by United Slates Commis
sioner Carter in the Federal Building
on a charge of concealing whisky on
w'hich no government tax had beei
paid. He waived preliminary hearing.
McKurley was arrested by Deputy
Marshal Lee Whatley on a charge
preferred by Deputies H. D. Miller
and J. W. Clark.

POSTMASTERS NAMED.
WASHINGTON, May 29.—Presi
dent Wilson to-day made the follow

vllle; Tennessee, M. W. Jackson, of
Mountain City.
Seriousness of Situation Impels
Wilson to Abandon “Watch
ful Waiting.”
Continued From Page 1.
this appeal, Secretary Tumulty an
nounced that a statement from the
President on the present situation
might be expected within the next few
days.
The statement to which Mr. Tumul
ty refers is an address to the people
of the United States which the Presi
dent Is now engaged In preparing.
The new program of measures
adopted by the President and his ad
visers Is, in substance:
1. The Carranza, Villa, Zapata, Cl-
entlflco and all other factions are
formally notified by the United States
that conditions in Mexico have be
come Intolerable from the viewpoint
of civilization and humanity.
Distress Must Be Relieved.
2. The United States serves notice
that unless the distress of the starv
ing Mexican people Is speedily re
lieved and an orderly government
established, It will be necessary to
employ the American army and navy
and to adopt such other measures as
seem advisable for the relief of the
innocent victims of anarchy.
3. The United StateB does not In
tend to annex Mexico and will Inter
vene as a last report no longer than Is
necessary to relieve the distress of the
people and establish a stable govern
ment.
4. The Administration deems It im
perative to act at once to supply am
ple food In those districts of Mexico
where starvation impends and will
send troops. If necessary, to protect
the shipment and delivery of sup
plies.
5. If any of the factional leaders is
able to establish an orderly govern
ment he will be recognized as Presi
dent of Mexico by the United States
and aided In the relief of distress.
A resort to arms, however, was not
looked for as the Immediate outcome
of the determination of the President
to relieve the conditions in Mexico.
The belief was expressed in official
and diplomatic circls that the forth
coming statement will serve Its pur
pose and that this warning will be an
Indirect order to the military chiefs
to see that the people-get enough to
eat. ■
Not to Aid Factions.
The President's statement. It Is
said, will not be designed to aid one
faction against another. It will con
tain, according to officials close to the
Administration, a notice that the sev
eral factions get together to bring
peace to Mexico and prevent starva
tion, or some Either means to do it will
have to be adopted by this Govern
ment \
While the statement of President
Wilson will not state specifically just
what these “other means” will be, the
general Impression among officials
and diplomats was that this Govern
ment, as its first step, would aim to
keep open the railroad from Vera
Cruz to Mexlctj City for the trans
portation of food to the hungry In the
capital. Governmental agencies also
might be employed. It was suggested,
to deliver supplies to the people In
other Mexican* cities.

In Submarine F-4
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, May 29.—A hole ha*
been discovered in the forward com
partment of the submarine F-4. which
now lies in 48 feet of water in the har
bor at Honolulu, Admiral Moore cabled
to the Navy Department to-day. The
submarine will be brought to the sur
face In two or three days, the admiral
said.
At the Navy Department the sugges
tion that divers be sent down to enter
this hole and take out the bodies of the
dead was decided to be Impracticable.

was considered too great, and it was
feared valuable evidence as to the cause
of the disaster would be destroyed.

County Merger Plan
Gets Bump From the
DeKalb Legislators
Word e«m» from Decatur Saturday
that all the agitation out there over
the proposed plan to merge DeKalb
with Fulton County might come to
naught, even though a mass meeting
Friday passed a resolution urging the
DeKalb Representatives in the State
Legislature to introduce a bill allow
ing DeKalb voters to ballot upomtha
merger.
It was said that L. J. Steele and R,
Frank Smith, the two Representatives
In question, had declared they did not
consider Friday's mass meeting rep
resented the sentiment of the commu
nity, and until there was more au
thority to act upon they would not in
troduce any merger election bill In
the Legislature.
H. M. Stanley, State Commissioner
of Commerce and Labor, who was
quoted tn The Georgian Friday as
having addressed the mass meeting
and speaking against the merger plan,
said Saturday that he was not. at the
meeting, and had uttered no opinion
In the matter. He added that he had
no voice In the matter, either, as h»
still maintains his residence and. citi
zenship In his old home county, iLau-
rens.
