"PAGE TWELVE ° FRANK MURDER Will Go Unavenged it is Fear ed. COULD NOT GET JRY TO CONVIOT THE COWARDLY GEORGIA SLAYERS, Frank Died Bravely--He Did Not Beg For His Life--Lynching Par- ty Not Composed Of Usual Mobs. Marietta, Ga., Aug. 20.--The mur- der of Leo M. Frank will go unaveng- ed by the law If it is to be punished in the county where it was commit- ted. , No jurg in Cobb county would convict 'the murderers, no grand jury would indict them, no official would underfake to cute them. This is not to say that Cobb coun- ty is terrorized, for it is not; it is to say that the vast majority of its people, even those who deplore the lynching as a violation of law, be- lieve that Frank got no more than his deserts, and the mob simply car- ried out the verdict of the law after it had boen arbitrarily set aside by a governor who was a law partner of Frank's lawyer. The word mob does not seem de- scriptive, although it is correct, for these men did not display the ordi- nary characteristics of a mob. There was no outbrust of rage, no disorder; the whole thing was done with order, method and precision, and with a military attention to details. Lynch- ing mobs are usually composed of riff-raff, with a few leaders of a higi- er order; but this one consisted of leading citizens in the community, men prominent in business and so- | cial circles, and even in church. Li: quor played no part in it, as it does in most lynchings. The lynchings had been planned for months, and the plans of the conspirators contem- plated its carrying out on a night several weeks ago, but the authori- ties learned of it in some way, and it was postponed until last Monday. These leading citizens are to-day askirig their leading part in the city's business and social affairs, with no sign upon them of gullty conscience. Their consciences approve them, and what they hear from their fellow- citizens, wherever they go, adds to their self-approval, for the city ap- proves them. f Think They Carried Out Law, They are regarded not merely as men who can plead justification, but as men who prevented a miscarriage of justice and-saved the law from being set aside and mocked by a man who happens to fill the governor's chair. There are in Marietta men "who did not approve their act be- cause of respect for the forms of law, but even these believe that the spirit of it was set at naught by the gov- ernor, and not one of these men-- who are few--wili think of refusing to shake hands with ore of the lyach- ers or introducing him to his wife or revealing his identity to an officer of the law. Elsewhere than in Marietta there is much of thé same sentiment, but there is a division. There are, but outside of Cobb county, men who fear the growth of the mob spirit af- ter such a dramatic and spectacular exhibition and who would take mea~ sures to curb it. Many of them are in' Atlanta. Many even of these beliéve Frank guilty and are -con- cerned mot with the future of the state. They are considering the taking of steps to bring about the punishment 'of his slayers for that reason alone, but they do not know what steps to take. Frank' 'was hurried through four countiés by his captors, and some of those who would like to have the punished talk of having them indict- ed in some one of the three that were traversed before Cobb county was refiched. Lawyers of prominence Are Tea and Coff ¢ | say that under Federal law they | { could not be indicted anywhere, but {in Cobb county for murder; in Bald- | | win county, where Frank was taken, | they could be indicted for abduction | {but not murder, and in neither of | {the remaining two counties could | | they be indicted for anything. i | Nobody talks seriously of the in- | ting room. | vestigation Governor Harris is pro- mising, and there are very few who believe there is the slightest chance |'with Alvin Dodd forty year ago and | Stoodley, .'orestalling any speech of of any of the murderers being put to any grave trouble, much less punish- ed.

Frank Died Bravely. | Marietta to-day is in a mood of | braced purpose and resolve. Every | stranger who comes into town is un- | der observation the moment he ar- | rives.

London, Aug. 20.--The financial editor gfsthe Daily Telegraph, in an article bearing evidences of having been inspired, foreshadows the shipment of an enormous quantity of gold to the United States to pay for war supplies and right the ex- change market. In other quarters it is estimated that the shipment of gold will ag- gregate $6500,000,000. German Tribute. In an article on Britain's new ar- mies; the Berlin correspondent of the Kolnische Volks-zeitung pays a high tribute to the organizing talent -of Lord Kitchener, and says "even Ger- man envy must admit that his re- cruiting_has been an organizing per- formance of the very first rank." The article continues: "Certainly the new army is com- posed for a great part of inferior ele- ments, and is not equal, of course, in quality to the old small mercenary English army. But war experience will come with time to these young English troops, just as to our own; and in view of the good military tal- ents of the English people, they will soon have become valuable. These young English troops have already shown that they are enemies to be respected, and nothing wou'd be « greater mistake than to under-esti- mate them. ? New Electric Bell. An original electric bell combinaé tion is in use at Paris which is de- signed to get rid of all trouble caus- ed by the question of batteries, for these are mow lodged within the ap- paratus itself. 'The usual box bell shape is retained, but the arrange- ment of the parts is different in this case. All the magnet parts are nowy lodged under the gong itself, whil the box being now left free, serves to contain a set of three dry battery cells which will last for several years. In this way there are no connections to be made between the battéry and bell, and the wires and push-button are the only pieces which need to be attended to.--Scientific American.

"But that was be- fore I ever heard of Alvin Dodd or you, either," she ventured to say. "You can't expect me to feel the way you do, especially toward her. We | don't have to speak to either of 'em | if we do go. And--and I'd kind a like to." - The longing in her gentle voice was all lost upon George Henry. His heart was only a little less hard than a stone. Moreover, he was an old- fashioned husband who expeé¢ted his wife to obey. And for thirty years Naomi had obeyed dutifully. She had been educated to believe that she had been favored of Providence when she got George Henry. What would have become "of her else, young and ignorant poor as she was? She was 20 and George Henry 40 when they were married. He had geen a great deal of life. She had looked up to him then and the atti- tude had become a habit. But she had seen little happiness with him. Thirty years of married life either blinds or makes a woman's vision clearer. Naomi's vision had ° be- come surpassingly clear. "She un- derstood George Henry and there was no adoration in her gaze as she watched him tramping over the In- grain carpet earfully avoiding the worn spots for economy was his watchword. She saw him exactly as he wias--a little scrap of a man preserved in tobacco, and the color of it, with jaundiced black eyes and a great deal of chin. Forty years ago he had quarreled with Alvin Dodd over some trivial matter and he was now offering this ancient ani- mosity as an excuse for staying away from the church supper. He knew that she would not dare go without him and he had no inclination to go; it was cheaper and more pleasing to him to stay at home and smoke his ipe. But Naomi, twenty years younger and starving for a little soclety, a little brightness and somebody's cooking besides her own sat and sewed with the mist in her eyes. For a 'week she had hoped that George Henry would take her to the big supper, and annual event of the town. There would be a talking machine and lights and roast pig, and the thought of the talking mach= ine filled her with eager anticipation. She had, fixed. over her gray dress and there was no reason in the world, except George Henry, "why she shouldn't go. 4 When at Iast she felt that she was going to break down and ery child- ishly in the august presence of her lord tnd master she laid her sewing aside and went upstairs, to be alone with her disappointment. It was very cold in-the chamber, the windows were frosted over, but Naomi felt only the fever of her tears. She knelt down beside the spare bed and wept. ; "No, I ain't going one step." It was George Henry's voice. She raised her head. Some one had come in downstairs. She'Hiéard a pleasant, deep, woman's voice, full. of laughter. "I wasn't asking you to go, Mr. Pierde. © Wouldn't look very nice, 1 guess, for me to tote you off to a church supper. I want your wile.

"Get your dress changed. You're going to tne church supper with me to-night." Naomi glanced at her husband. But Mrs. Stoodley"s personality was the stronger. She felt'it joyfully. "May J?" she asked. "Certainly, certainly," cried Mrs. | George Hevury's. "Hurry up, my dear. We want to get there while the roast pig is hot. First come, first served. Your old hubby will sit here and smoke his pipe like a lamb until you get back, and then you can tell him all about it. Do you know, Mr. Pierce I got the best man in the world? I never have to ask him when I want to go anywhere. We've been mar- ried 20 years, and I think more of him now than I did when I married him, just on that account. You go right along and get dressed, my dear. I want to talk to Mr. Pierce. And talk she did, so entertaining- ly that Mr. Pierce was hohxed in let- ting Naomi get out . the dogr and away before he fairly realized what was being done to him. Onée outside Mrs. Stoodley gripped Naomi's flut- tering arm and hurried her to the church, It was all that Naomi had thought it could be and more. The lights were bright, the talking machine was of the best, and when af last the roast pig appeared, it was of a qual- ity to satisfy the palate of an epi- cure.

But I -dare say he's over it long ago, the same as me. I look forward to having him for a neighbor." Naomi sat dewn and talked to the Dodds, and the more she talked the better she liked them. She was sorry when at last %he had to part from them, : George Henry was smoking in a dense atmosphere of blue smudge when she entered the house flushed, bright eyed and willing to pay any price for the good time she had. "Well,-back air ye?" growled George Henry. > "Yes, dear, I'm back," There was a new note in Naomi's voice and George Henry heard it. "I had a lovely time. The pig was delicious.

ON THE WAR ARE GIVEN IN CON- * VERSATIONS One Said All the German Soldiers Were For Peace.~--Another Refer réd To The War As A Catastrophe. London, Aug. 17.--The press bur- eau issued a communication from Professor Pares; the authorized cor respondent at Russian headquarters, in which the professor gives an In-. teresting account of a conversation with a captured German officer. I have had an interesting talk with a German officer, Professor Pares writes, commander of a battery whicn was cut off by the Russians in a re- cent advance on our side. He comes from the Rhine and has lived long in Hamburg, and he inspired in his captors the greatest respect by his culture and good feeling. We talked first of Hamburg; he describ@s it as a town reduced to 'dleness; trade there is, but it goes by other roads, and most of the profits remain in neutral countries. The - short ra- tions in Germany, he insisted, were simply a measure of precaution, and latterly prices had been lowered. He had a poor opinion 'of potato bread. Next we talked of the Rhine univer- sities, which are practically emptied of students by the war. , Ther are in the army many volunteers from the age of 15 to that of 48, but this 1s no indication of the depletion of material for the army. We now got on to the main ques- tions; he was very ready to discuss them and spoke perfectly frankly. I asked on what side Germany could hope for any deciding success. He admitted at once that no such point, look for, was, to be found on .any side, and' he maintained that from the outset, both militarily and poli- tically, Germany was fighting a pure- ly defensive war, of course by fre- quent counter-offensives. In that case, Professor Pares pointed out, Germany could only have peace by the Allies offering it, that is, by their getting tired of the war; and surely it was unfortunate that she had ev- ery one against her at once, In re- ply he remained me, Prof. Pares continues, of the German word Stre- ber, which means a restless, pushing person who is always disturbing and annoying others, Economically, he said, the struggle in Germany bad become almost impossible, of which he himself had seen many instances. Some outlet was essential, and this England anil the other powers had united to prevent. I said that, for us English, the is- sue was whether Germany should have things which we at present pos- sess, and that we were not likely to give them up without fighting. He quite accepted this. Germany, he said, was like the troublesonre boy ot the school who was dissatisfied and had a grievance, and was always making things unpleasant fer all the rest, so that there was no wonder if he was not liked. - I maintained that this went too far, if his own old Al- lies, 'such as Italy, turned against him. He expressed resentiment cgainst Italy, and said that anyhow right was on the side of Germany, who would continue to defend her- self to the end. might disagree as to the question of right, but that I could not under stand how any successful issue could be hoped for under such conditions. He was of my opinion, and twice spoke of the war as a "catastrophe." I asked then why Germany should persist in a policy which had obvious. ly especially to the 'case of Italy, proved to be a misguided ane, we all} felt admiration for the magnificent fighting power of the German army, which might have dealt successfully with us separately; but it had been set an impossible task. He replied that England had a long experience, acd that policy with her was well thought out; Germany had only some 40 years of a united existence behind her, and the policy which had led to "the catastrophe" could not, as a policy, be defended. I asked whether it was likely to be changed, and to this I neither expected nor got any answer. But it was Inter- esting that, in spite of the great suc- cesses.
