Ingly symmetrical appearance.
Eighty-four Compartment*.
There are 84 separate compartments
in the Aqultanla. in addition to 41
in the double bottom. There are 16
transverse bulkheads extending in
most cases to 19 feet above the load
line, wllh n minimum In the others
of 9 feet above the water line.' In
addition, there extends on each "side
of the boiler-rooms, a longitudinal
bulkhend IS feet from the outer skin,
the Intervening space forming coal

divide the machinery main compart
ment Into thrpo separate rooms and
the condenser compartment Into two
sections.
Novel Feature,
A novel feature in the machinery
for the simultaneous closing of the
doorg by the captain on the bridge Is
that the system is divided Into two
Independent units, one for the doors
In transverse bulkheads the other for
those in the longitudinal division walls.
Thus such doors In the latter as re
rpilre to open for stoking the boilers
may bo Independently opened or closed
while all the doors In the main trans
verse walls are kept closed at the will
of the captain.

Again, In every compartment Is nn
electric instrument which hy any un
due rise of temperature rings a bell
on the bridge and records the loca

thus Indicates outbreak of fire. A
mutlplldty of hydrants are provided,
with Immense pumping power, for ex
tinguishing fire. From the holds there
are trunks to an Instrument on the
bridge fitted with a powerful exhaust
fan, so that the presence of smoke and
air continuously drawn from any hold
Is Indicated, and through the same
trunk n great volume of steam can

MOVE 10 SET
ASIDE VERDICT
111 FRANK CASE
Hearinqs Begin Before Judge
Hill Today in Atlanta —Based
on Claim That Defendant Was
Not in Court When Pro
nounced Guilty
Atlanta.—Hearings on the motion to
set aside the verdict which pronounced
Leo M. Frank guilty of the murder of
Mary Phagan, the little factory girl,
for which crime the young factory su
perintendent now is under sentence of
death, was expected to open before
Judge Ben H. Hill of the Fulton Coun
ty superior court here today.
The motion is based on the claim
that Frank’s constitutional rights were
violated when the verdict was returned
during his absence from the Court
room. Judge L. S. Roan, trial judge In
the famous case, permitted the return
ing of the verdict while Frank was
absent on representation of attorneys
for both prosecution and defense that
there was possibility of a public dem
onstration.
Fight For Freedom.
Tn their light to secure Frank’s free
dom, his lawyers, In addition to mak
ing every effort to secure a new trial
for their client, determined to take the
case to the United States supreme
court if necessary. It is through the
motion to set aside tho verdict that
they propose to do this. Should Judge
Hill deny the motion, an appeal will
be taken to the United States supreme
Court.
For New Trial. f
Hearings on the extraordinary mo
tion for a new trial also will be held
by the state supreme court in the
near future. Solicitor General Hugh
M. Dorsey said early today that he
was ready to oppose the motion to set
aside the verdict and that so far as he
was concerned, there would be no more
delays
Prosecutions.
Atlanta.—The answer of the prosecu
tion to the motion to set aside the ver
dict was read to Judge Hill by Solicitor
General Dorsey Immediately after the
hearing was opened. After he had fin
ished this Mr. Dorsey filed a general de
murrer to the motion.
In his answer Mr. Dorsey admitted
that Frank was not present In court
when the verdict against him was re
turned but declared that both Frank and
his attorneys hsd waived his presence
and that the attorneys agreed to the
court not to take advantage of the de
fendant's absence. The solicitor gen
eral argued that Frank's absence was
permitted by the court and did not
operate to the injury of any one or de
prive Frank of any right guaranteed by
law.
Public Opinion.
Referring to public opinion in connec
tion with the case, Mr. Dorsey said that
at no time was there any well grounded
basis on reason for the suspicion that
niott violence would be done the defend
ant or his counsel had they been pres
ent. He charged that Frank's lawyers
so conducted the case that Innocent oc
currences were magnified and studied
effort made to Impress the court with
the existence of prejudice -and public
feeling against the accused man. In
concluding his answer Mr. Dorsey as
serted that Frank, by his silence until
April 18th, had forfeited all right to take
exception to the verdict on the ground
that he was not present when It was
handed down. Mr. Dorsey claimed that
attorneys for the defense were legally
bound, hy the agreement made at the
time the verdict was returned not to
take advantage of Frank's absence.

PRESIDENT AT GRADUATION
OF MIDSHIPMEN
(Continued from Page 1.)
Vera Cruz are going to leave? They
have had to use some force—a pray
God It may not be necessary for them
to use any more—but do think that the
way they fought is going to be the
most lasting impression? Have men
not fought ever since the world began?
Is there anything new in using force?
The new things in the world are the
things that are divorced from force.
The things show the moral compul
sions of the human conscience, those
are the things by which we have been
building up civilization, not by force,
and the lasting impression that those
boys are to leave will be that they ex
ercised self-control.
“You must bear in mind thp.t you are
the champions of what is right and fair
all around, no matter where you are,
and that it is for what is right and
fair for public welfare that you are
ready to fight and not merely on the
drop of a hot or upon some slight punc
tilio."
, The President praised Admiral
Fletcher, saying he had been on duty
longer at Vera Cruz than the other
commanders and that he had the
qualities of a statesman.
After the ceremony the President
watched the graduates' go to their
quarters and the former “plebes” run
to take possession of “Lovers’ lane.”
He ate luncheon with Captain Fullam
and planned to leave for Washington
at 3 o’clock.

A bad wind and rain storm made
the going difficult for the Mayflower
throughout the night, but the presi

nience and had no serious trouble.
President Wilson received a long

'to discuss the message except to sav
hat it did not materially change the
situation.

BIG BASEBALL VAUDEVILLE
Everything is in readiness for the
great Vaudeville Show Wednesday
night. Arrangements of the most
complicated kind are being made, that
nothing may interfere with the pure
enjoyment of the occasion. The com
mittee has arranged with the Weather
Bureau to predict a cool change for
that evening, and also is making prep
arations to have Lemonade served con
tinually during the performance. (In
case.)
The Idea of the Vaudeville is to get
together, for once, all the very best
talent in Augusta, and to have them
ail do their best stunts, one after an
other in quick succession, without
waits or encores, so that once and for
all everybody in town may see right
before their eyes everything they have
heard was worth seeing.
Mr. Harold Russell, who has for the
last few years been on the regular
stage, is fortunately at home for a
vacation, and has been persuaded to
lend his professional aid to the show.
The purpose of the Vaudeville is to
cancel the debt of the Base Ball Club.
And just a few words here. Au
gustans may think that the Base Ball
Club should be self-supporting. They
may think that if resort has to he
had to such measures as this to keep
it going, it were better not to have

J Base Ball Club. And to such as
think this way, let us say Granted
All That. But here is the situation
now. Augusta HAS GOT a Baseball
Club, it is too late to opposa that.
It Is in the South Atlantic League.
Its name, the good old name of Au
gusta, is everyday in all the papers
of the country. Shall we let that
name be dropped in the middle of the
season and advertise to the, whole
United States that Augusta is the kind
of dead town that can’t finish a thing
which it has started? It is not Base
Ball which is at stake, it is the name
of the town. What a purposeless,
watery-eyed impression will b e got of
the place that lets its team die out
and taper off in mid-channel, after
having committed itself to play Ball
all the year. However much you may
disapprove of Professional Base Ball!
don't let your town be -considered a
quitter by all the little hamlets in
Georgia who manage by hook or hy
crook to keep their name on the list.
All you have to do is to come to
the Opera HotlSe on the evening of
Wednesday, June 10th—next Wednes
day night—at nine o’clock, and sub
mit to being very much amused and
entertained-so. the period of an hour
and a half—at the moderate cost of
one dollar. The tickets will be on
sale tomorrow. A special offer of 98c
is made to those who buy early.
A full program will be printed in a
day or two as soon as it is available.
Everything in town worth seeing, or
hearing, is going to be in thta show.
