the outcome was that we took them

Atlanta, Dec. 21. Leo M. Frank,
condemned to be hanged January 22
next, for the murder here in April,
1913, of Mary Phagan, has been re
fused a writ of habeas corpus by
Federal Judge W. T. Newman, A
motion has been made by Farnk's at
torneys, requesting an appeal from
the decision to the United States Su
preme court, and Judge Newman an
nounced he would give a decision on
this motion today.
There was some confusion with re
gard to the appeal, and it ' was at
first announced that Judge Newman
had granted it. The judge stated lat
er however, that he announced at
the close of the hearing that he. was
"inclined to grant the appeal.1' Sub
sequently, it was stated, the federal
law enacted in 1908 requiring a fed

habeas corpus proceedings to Issue a
certificate stating his opinion that
there was probable cause for an ap

tention in chambers and he informed
the attorneys that he would hold his
decision on the matter in abeyance
until today. ' ' '
The writ was sought on the ground
that Frank's constitutional rights
were violated in that he was "'In

New York, - Dec. 21. Additional
bankers, shippers and others in the
world of business have added their
optimistic views to those heretofore
expressed that there Is a successful
year in the forefront. Some set forth
the vast developments in the war situ
ation as not only a hopeful Indication
of the present, but as one that will
not feel much restriction at the end
of the great conflict. Financiers are
looking to the end of the war with
confidence. The enormous demands
for money that will come to revive in
dustries and rebuild cities and towns
will have Its good effect In this coun
try, which will be called upon as never
before In its-history-
Manufacturers and their agents in
this city are happy over the Increase
of orders. The great foreign demand
for foodstuffs Is now enabling the men
of the-west to market their .enormous
crops. at good prices, and the exports
of wheat, flour,, rye and oats from
July-1. to -November 28 have reached
enormous proportions. Bacons and

Washington, D. C, Dec. 21. That
the administration has informally In
timated to members of congress that
an embargo against the exportation of
arms and ammunition to Europe en
acted at this time would be an unneu
tral act and unfriendly to allies, is in
formation obtained from an authori
tative source.
It is said that certain senators and
representatives have been told that if
the United States had placed such an
embargo at the outset of the war,
when there was no evidence whether
it would benefit Germany or Great
Britain, it would have been entirely
proper, but that to do so now, when
the military situation has so devel
oped that the embargo would seriously
injure the allies and benefit Germany,
would Jeopardize American neutrality.

tion of the situation has forever

Stockholm, Dec. 2X. (Via Lon
don) King Christian of Denmark,
King Gustave of Sweden and King
Haakon of Norway, who, with their
foreign ministers, were In conference
at Malmo Friday and Saturday, over
a plan to combine their respective
Interest during the war, have reached
an agreement on the special ques-
cording to men In the big business.
Mills and factories working on war
orders are in many instances running
day and night, and while It is admitted
that the great pressure Is from the re
sult of the war, yet men are confident
that the demand is bound to continue
for a long time. The nations now at
war will need Just as many articles of
a different class when they resume
the peace footing. Philadelphia, Chi
cago, St. Louis, Boston, Pittsburgh,
Detroit and other trade centers, say
the business men, report Increasing
Industrial activity.
Here Is what some of the big busi
ness men think of the situation:
Irving T. Bush, president of the
Bush terminal company:
"Somewhere between the optimist
who claims that the war is all cakes
and ale for this country and the pessi
mist who sees us dragged into the hor
rors of the conflict lies the real future.
We can nevef be embroiled In a Eu
ropean war, and we must share In at
least one in' its burdens the higher
Interest upon capital for future devel
opment. "nut admitting our full share In this
burden we will still have prosperity.
It will come to us as soon as finance
has adjusted Itself to new conditions.
It Is beginning to show Its head here

to see anything for weeks in case he
became the least excited.
Shattered Nerves.
When he left the Netley hospital
he still walked somewhat unsteadily
and complained' that dark spots fre
quently appeared before his eyes.
Physicians get such patients away
from hospitals as soon as possible,
so that they may be more free from
military surroundings and reminded
less frequently of their experiences In
the field.
As Is the case In nearly all mili
tary action, soldiers on rare occasions
are found shooting at their own
hands and feet, on exposing their
arms and hai.ds to the fire of the j had been allowed to leave a British
enemy that they may suffer wounds ! port, though It was not equipped as a

gan.
At the same time the press was In
formed that an arms embargo would
be unneutral. It was explained that
the action of President Wilson in re
questing Charles M.-Schwab not to
construct torpedo craft for the allies
was based on a legal decision of the
state department that, such an act
would be In violation of neutrality, as
war ships are In a different category
from merchandise.
Cites Alabama Case.
It was said the state department
based Its decision upon the famous
Alabama case, in which the United
States collected $15,000,000 from Great
(By W. T. Boat).

much conversation by its sharp re
port on the condition of the county
roads and by the animadversions up--.
on the county superintendency and

prosecute some of its recommenda
tions. The Jury came here Friday to re-;
pel the suggestion that it had been,
tampered with. A card of W. L.
Wlggs, road superintendent, replying
to the attack upon him, charged that, 1

of it and that he was present when
the report was read. That article of
Mr. Wlggs also said that the chang
in the report ,wa made in the offics
of the register of deeds and more
trouble was caused. The attitude of
Mr. Wlggs is regarded as an attack
upon the integrity of the grand ury
and it comes here to acquit Itself of :
any wrong. . , -
The Judd charges fell down. Tha
university professor and county su

the Wlggs letter to ' the papers has

that It will not go merely into tha

"The meeting was Inaugurated Fri

who alluded to the unanimous desire

serve neutrality and pointed to the
durability of limited co-operation
botween the kingdoms as a safeguard
to their common Interests. He said
due to the war. It would have come

through Its period of liquidation and
an upswing is Inevitable."
Says Skies Are Clear! fur.
William A. Marble, president of the
Merchants' association:
"No sensible man can question the

Is freshly agitated by the story In
