At tim**s ho talked with members of the crowd, cautioning them, warning them quiet ly against too much haste or impa tience. At times he spoke sharply to some minor offender But he kept the line moving, and he kept the crowd quiet and orderly. The police showed absolute efficiency In the sit uation. No Services Held Here. On Mrs. Frank's request, no funeral services were held at the undertakers’ chapel Following the exposure to the public, the body was prepared for its removal to Brooklyn, and at 11:1:0 o’clock was taken in a motor hearse to the Terminal Station, escorted by Chief Mayo and Officer Handy. At the station a squad of officers, com manded by Captain Poole, were in waiting, but there was no need of their services. Mrs. Frank was dressed in deep mourning She was accompanied on Southern train No. 36 . leaving at 12:01 o'clock, by Alexander Marcus, her brother-in-law; Rabbi David Marx, Harry Alexander and Herbert Haas. It was noted as a strange coinci dence that the Pullman car "Valdos ta.” on which Frank was taken to Macon when his sentence was com muted last June, was standing on a siding. Just opposite the baggage car in which the coffin containing his oody was placed for its Journey to its ffnal resting place in Brooklyn. Lineman Near Prison for Days to Cut All Wires By WILLIAM P. FLYTHE. (Staff Correspondent of The Geor gian.) MILLEDGEVILLE, Aug. 1^—The cutting of the telephone and telegraph wires to cover up the visit of the mob that took Frank from the State Prison here was the work of a red-haired lineman, who for two weeks had been acouting about the State Farm and the surrounding country, according to the agent of the Central of Georgia at Meriwether, the only man in this section, with the exception of the pris on officials, who saw the mob. For tw’o weeks this man’s actions had caused some little suspicion. He was met frequently on the roads about the State Farm, his motorcycle standing by the road while he exam ined the general direction of wires and poles. Monday night the agent for the Central was routed out of his bed at Meriwether and directed to point out the principal telegraph and telephone wires. The red-haired man, wearing lineman’s spikes, then climbed the pole and cut the wire, while two auto, mobiles with members of the mob waited. When he had completed the Job he led the two automobiles away, riding his motorcycle. There were two machines. In the front one Frank was seated Ip the tonneau. This was on the road to the bridge over Little River, where several shots were fired. About Dozen Shots Fired. And about those shots. The 100 has dwindled to about twelve. They were [ Eleven Advertisements in One Day Besides Several Calls Upon ■ the Southern Business College. “Have you a male stenographer you can recommend for & permanent posi tion that pays $70 per month? “The position requires a capable man and a good speller. Please have applicant phone us." The above request for a stenogra pher wa« received by the Southern Shorthand and Business University, around on West Mitchell street, by letter yesterday. The Southern also sent three of its pupils out to positions on Saturday last. Yesterday two of the Atlanta pa pers contained the following eleven advertisements for office help. The third paper was not seen: WANTED—An experienced stenogra pher: give age, experience and sal ary desired. Address Kush, Box 66, care Journal.

Ga fired into the flooring of the bride itself, at an angle, which would have indicated they were fired from the rear of an automobile while it was crossing the bridge. If the machines made a stop at the bridge it was very brief. With the exception of the emp ty shells, from a rifle, strewn along the roa^ from the bridge, the lynchers left no trace. Whether there will be an Investiga tion at the farm has not been indi cated to the prison officials. Tom Law la ter, an Atlanta boy, who ad mitted the mob, will le^ive the prison Thursday, having served twelve months for a misdemeanor. He was practically the only man between Frank and the mob. guard ing the gate In the wire fence, and keeping the key to the main build ing where Frank was sleeping. At the point of revolvers and rifles fie admitted the crowd, and the leaders had Frank from his bed before the two guards on the interior had awakened. When they came from a room at the side of the corridor they were covered and disarmed As the mob started down the steps with Frank the members who had subdued Superintendent Burke, brought him in at the gate. Warden Smith never left his home, being kept un der guard there, so the only person who could really have been of service was Lawlater, and the mob didn’t have to disarm him. He was without a weapon of defense. It developed to-day that as early as 8 o’clock in the evening Monday telephone wires here had been cut. “Out of order" complaints which were registered then, were later In vestigated and It was found that the wires had been cut and sections taken out. There is something of a little mys tery in the rear guard of the niob. Clayton Robinson, of Milledgevllle, observed a fast roadster, scouting around town for firlly an hour after the time the mob had departed. Its driver seemed to bo particularly anxious to find whether CaptaJn En nis. of the Baldwin Blues, had been notified, and when he thought a suf ficient time had elapsed for the mob to get safelv away, he took the road leading toward Little River, driving at an excessively high speed. Seized the Superintendent. Several of the mob knew the prison officials and called them by their first names familiarly. One of the visitors was a man of very diminutive stature. It was he who seized Superintendent Burke when he emerged from the door of hi* home and clamped the hand cuffs on him. And when the walk started toward the prison it was the little man who stood beside the su perintendent and kept a very long re volver pressed against his ribs. Someone had drawn for the leader of the mob a diagram of the first floor of the prison, indicating the bunk oc cupied by Frank. The two mob lead ers took a hurried look at the diagram when they entered the corridor of the prison and then strode directly to the sleeping man. Atlanta B.Y.P.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 18— Justi fication of the feeling of thousands of Georgians in the b rank case was voiced last night by J. G. Woodward, Mayor of Atlanta, in a speech deliv ered before California s county asses sors. 'You have heard only one side of the case, and that a subsidized one," he declared. "I am going to put Georgia in her right place, no matter whom it hits. Slaton and I grew up together, but I would not advise him to go back to Georgia for a year at least. Georgians will resent his act of commuting Frank’s sentence for years to come. "I am sorry this thing occurred. I regret it very, very much. It is not pleasant to contemplate, but I want all of you to know the conditions. "I want to set the people of Georgia right. They would not stoop to com mit an unlawful act any quicker than would you Californians. We deeply deplore the crime that happened in Georgia last night; but far. far more do we deplore the cause that lay be hind it, for there is no length we would not go to protect our women." Then Woodward went into an ex haustive review of Georgia's famous criminal trial, and declared his pro found belief In the guilt of Frank—a belief which, he said, is shared by 75 per cent of the people of Georgia. "The commutation of Frank’s sen tence. In the belief of all Georgia, was some kind of a vague political move, and It stirred the State to its very roots. Consequently this lynching, re grettable as it is, was practically an inevitable working out of a mass of unseen causes.” Liberal Government Issue in Bainbridge RAINBRrDOE. Aug. 18—Mayor J. W. Callahan, home from the late ses sion of the State Senate, where he represented the Eighth District, is in the race to succeed himself, and all six 0/ the present Board of Aider- men very likely will offer for re-elec tion. Mayor-Senator Callahan will be opposed bv Dr. John E. Toole, a for mer Mayor, and a full aldermanlc ticket 'will run with him. Interest is added to the contest by the fact that neither of these men has ever met defeat at the hands of the voters. Of course, one will lose his perfect record this time. The is sue will very likely be for a liberal government, championed by the anti- administration forces. The present administration has been in office four years, during w hich the “lid” has been on securely. It is generally con ceded thrft the contest will be close.

COTTON BELIEF Reserve Banks to Lend Money on Crop and Limited Export To Be Facilitated. Continued From Page 1. The Standard. “American claims for Interruption of her export trade are eminently reasonable, and no doubt will be met. Our indebtedness to America will be increased, and an is sue in America of British Government bonds would supply marketable se curity.” The Westminster Gazette says: "When both sides are willing and anxious to tide over the difficulty of American exchange, we have no doubt the British treasury will devise means to Improve the present situation."

WASHINGTON, Aug. 18.—The Ad ministration hopes to solve the cotton situation so that it will not prove a rock on which its legislative program will go to pieces w hen Congress meets. It was learned to-day*that the real reason for the President’s return from Cornish last week was the pressure that was being brought by Southern financial interests for action to safe guard the cotton growers* and manu facturers before this year’s crop was available for marketing. And the President, realizing that unless some thing was done that would afford real relief much of the support he was de pending on from his own party menu* bers would be withheld, has been try ing to arrange a comprehensive pro gram ever since he got back. To-day, on the eve of an order by the Allies transferring cotton to the contraband list, a tentative program has been completed which the Ad ministration believes will prove effec tive. So far as arranged it provides: First. That the Federal Reserve Board, through its members and af filiated banks, lend money on ap proved notes safeguarded by actual cotton deposits to an extent of 50 per cent of this year’s crop if that amount is needed. Second. Arrange through the allied powers that cotton shipments to the territory controlled by them be expe dited. and that a quantity, the amount to be determined upon later, be permitted to pass through to neu tral countries without being diverted into British ports by warships. The President is very confident that these two measures will meet the sit uation while diplomacy is being re sorted to to secure further relief Any arrangement that is made with the allied powers will expressly stip ulate that this Government waives none of its rights under international or existing treaties. Emphatic protest will be filed im mediately when the Cabinet, which is to take the lead, places cotton on the contraband list. This will be followed by a general note, In which innumera ble precedents will be efted to prove the American contention that making cotton contraband at this time is a flagrant violation of the rules of in ternational warfare. Meanwhile the President was put ting the finishing touches on the American reply to the three British notes defending the order in council.

LONDON, Aug. 18.—"From all the evidence we could gather there is a lack of shells, especially high-explo sive shells, at the British front. We were informed that this class of am- munition had been tried in the Egyp tian campaign and also in the Boer War and found to be a failure Con sequently its manufacture was neg lected." This is the chief feature of the re port compiled by W. Brodie, organiz ing district delegate on the Clyde for the Amalgamated Society of Engi neers, who has just returned from France. Brodie was accompanied by several other workmen, the trip being planned by Sir William Beardmore to allow the representatives of the mu nitions workers to see with their own eyes the dire need of artillery ammu nition on the firing line. Sir William figured that the report of the workmen would spur their fel low munition workers to greater en deavors. After' traveling between various points, the delegates were led into the trenches within 800-yards of the Ger mans. Shells were coming rather too close to be comfortable, and the del egates were so busy ducking their heads that, they scarcely had time to listen to the information that the of ficers were giving them. "The day was warm," said Brodie, "and many of the soldiers were swim ming in a lake near by, paying not the slightest heed to the bombardment.* Far up in the sky a German aeroplane was directing the fire of the German batteries. British and French high- angle guns were shelling the Taube, but it stuck to its work. Once we saw' eight shells burst around the aero plane and for a time it was completely hidden by smoke.
