MEXICAN CITY MOIiS
EXDAXGEH FOREIGNERS
New York, July I t — A Mexico
City special to the Sua says for
eigners there are m the gravest per
sona] danger of mol<3 and Zapatlst
soldiers. The populace is incensed
against the Americans owing to re
ports spread by ncv'lticians and
trouble makers that the United
states government is tackng Car
ranzistns in their attack on the
city. There have b-en ^serious
bread riots and stores and residenc
es hav been entered and looted by
the mobs. •
STAlEMJiNT OF THE
IiKO FRANK CASE
(Continued from Page 1.)
"That is another newspaper canard
that I wish to correct. • I propose
to remain iu politics, and would
today hav.e been United States sen
ator from Georgia, J>Jt for political
chicanery. I was the choice of the
people of the state, but the con
vention was manipulated by shrewd
ani unscrupulous hands to my de
feat. and the selection of a mau
whose elevation is due to his ap
peals t" demagogic piejudice and
passion.
"i want to say," and his fine
firm face seemed to catch an indes
cribable expression of sadness,
"that the man worth while in this
life is the man whose stamina is
of such -quality as will stand pros
perity 1 may have lost out tem
porarily with the unthinking, the
hot-headed and the prejudiced, but
I would have felt myself but half
a man had I sacrifice-* the life of
Fraud to gain a political ad
vantage."
I asked him if his action in the
Frank case would prevent his shy
ing his caster into the coming sena
torial ring. "Events of the near
future will determine that. I go
to Atlanta to 'practice my profes
sion, but should 1 feel I could
serve my state in the senate I
cannot see how tho performance of
my. duty would or could deter me
from reaching that high position."
"There is one "other thing I
wish to state," he said in conclu
sion. "and that is about the charges j
that monetary motives influenced
me in, 'he consideration of the case.
This is but one of the 'many des
picable stories that were afloat. 1
want to say finally and emphatical
ly that Leo Frank was saved from
tho Ignominy -of the gallows be
cause his conviction was a travesty
of Justice, and the evidenco offered
did not justify the verdict."
It may not 'be generally known
but Gov. Slaton's personal fortune
is so large as to brand as false on
its face the charge that financial rea
son dictated his action.
A moment's conversation with
him is all that is necessary to
bring the realization that you are
in the presence of a sui>erior type
of man, one of the bigfigures of
contemporaneous history, and 'such
of man, one 'of the big figures of
altruistic and lofty ideals, cannot
remain in obscurity.
NOTES OF SYXOD
Whitehorso Star: Recent copies
of the Dawson. Daily News receiv
ed contain interesting 'notes of tho
doings of tho fourth Bynod bf the
Yukon diocese 'which, convened in
Dawsoa on the 15th, all the min
isters and lay leaders of the Angli
can church in the terrtory being
present. The opening Synod ser
mon was preached by the venerable
Archdeacon Canham of Carcross, he
having been a 'missionary in this
territory for 33 years. Among the
notes of the 'meetings of interest
to Whitehorse was tho election of
Rev. W. G.'Blackwell of this place,
as delegate tq the general synod
which convenes in Toronto in Sep
tember. Another item says "Rev.
W. G. Blackwell repoited progress
at Whitehorse and asked of three
or <"cur thousand dollars 'to build a
new church. The old one, he
said, is unsafe.' The vestry had al
ready something like $400 towards
the cost." It is expected that the
delates to the synod from South
ern Yukon will return on the next
steamer from Dawson. 1
