Atlanta. .March 19.?"What are you,
going to do with Leo M. Frank?" is
the question that, has bobbed up teu
times oftener than any other, in the
conversation between thp visiting
routhern newspaper publishers and
Atlactians who are cntertaning them,
in annual convention this week.
The newspaper men say that Bur
rounding southern states have become
just as-much Interested in the case as
Georgia is. and that sentiment is
growing stronger on the point that in
dependent of whether or not Frank
is guilty he ought to have a new trial.
Don...t'. Scitz, the manager of the
New Yjjork World, who is one of the
figures at the convention was so much
interested in the case that he accom
panied Detective William J. Burns to
lujjjm yesterday and bad a personal
interview with Frank.

groat detective himself has thus:f?t?
cxpressed no .opinion v.'bate ver on the
[case, save, tv, declare-his confidence
[ that he would eventually be able to
unravel , -
I.' ft is also, reported that Mr. Burns
is seeking an Interview with J. A.
Cnewnihg and W. H. Nooris, who are
the men accused by the defense of
"framing up" the affidavit which Mrs.
Formby Blghed and latsr repudiated.

and brillijnt shamrocks on etat lap
els, comes the announcement from
experts that "the woman who wishes
to bo tbp last-word of fashion will
soon have to adopt the green wig and
wear groep ? gloves."
^ the fashion exports are right. St
Patrick's Dov Is going to last a whole I
season so fa as the color scheme ofi
things is concerned, and a style which
has up to no wbeen adopted only by]
actresses . and, women who love the '
freakish modes, may eventually im-j
pose itsoK upon all who wish to be |
strictly In the style.
There le already a riot of green - In"
the styles shown here. Gowns, hots,
stockings;* gloves of pale green arc
already b?ing adopted by the society
eet, though ^be wigs bave not yet'
made their appearance to any extent:
sabe in theatrical circles.

ed its intention of being on the Job
It seems that at these former plum
itlairibut'.s* a??s?rs that sutler,
the state Iks been left out |n the past,,
according to Thad Adams of the Moul
trle Observer who Was In Atlanta a
day or two ago, and Mr. Adams de
clares that this season his section la
going to have a look-in or know the
reason why.
"Wo are not greedy." said Mr.
Adams, "We don't want al|?the plums,
or even a lien's share, but we do want
one of the big ones and tho Justice or
our claims." t
Just what the Southwest Georgia
people want has .'not yet been definitely
stated, and ft presumed that tt will
be. more or less determined by other
political developments. If Gov. Sla
ton runs 'or ?he sonat?\ they may pnt|
a man in tho fteld for tqe govern

put forward.
The'sectlon would have one strong!
advantage in such a contest, and thatj
is that the leaders in that section arc]
practically unanimous upon the man
tho would put forward. Hon. W. C.

Will In- Quite a Victory.
Atlanta.: March. 18.?It* will be quite
a victory for Gsorgia, through Sena
tor Hoke Smith, If the action of the
United States souate in voting an in
crease in pay to rural mall carriers
becomes the law of the nation.
Senator Smith has earnestly advo
cated the increase for a long time
past, and .has worked hard for it*in
the senate. He was the first eouthcrp
{senator to call attention to the fact
[that tho labors 'of the rural carriers
bad been tremendously increased and
that in many instances their expenses
had become heavier. Many carriers
h-jvo beep compelled to enlarge their
onUj since the ndvent of parcels
p"03t of ' engage another horse. ~ The
carriers are cow receiving;$1,100 an
nually. It is proposed to give them
1*1.200.
Senator Smith was fighting steadily
for an inprease for the rural carriers
at the same time he was putting
through the Smith-Lever agricultural
bill which will mean so much to the,
agricultural development of the
south.
