AT MASS MEETING More Than 2,000 Persons Assemble in Atlanta and Pass Resolution Condemning- Governor. MANY ARRESTS ARE MADE ATLANTA, Ga., June 21. More than 2,000 persons gathered In mass meeting In the capltol grounds and passed a resolution condemning Governor Slaton's action in com muting Leo M. Frank's sentence to life Imprisonment today. The crowd then marched to "Five Points," In the business center of the city, and, after a short halt, went to the city hall. There several arrests were made after mounted police and pa trolmen .had -made futile efforta to disperse the demonstrants. Mounted police suceeded in keeping the crowd separated somewhat by riding In rings, rounding up the demonstrants into small detachments. The governor's decision was announced barely twenty-four hours before the time set for Frank's execution for the murder' of 'Mary Phagan. and after he had been taken secretly from the Fulton county jail to the state prison farm at Mtlledaevllle. At' the mans meeting In the capltol grounda a speaker admonished everyone present to march to "Five Polnta" as a demonstration against the governor's action. Extra police were st to patrol the streets early in the day. Near beer saloonH nnd clubs dispensing liquor were ordered closed. Previous to the demon stration at Five Points five arrtsts. In cluding one physician, had been made for failure to 'move on." Governor Slaton Issued a statement of approximately 15,000 words, explaining his action. He maintained there waa reason able doubt of Frank's irullt of the mur der of Mary Phagan. He devoted much of his statement to the part tho negro, Jamea Conley, might have played In the crime. The appearance of additional mounted policemen seemed to cow the throng of demonstrators and it slowly dispersed. MAKIKTTA, Ua., June a. Governor Slaton, who today commuted the sen tence of Leo AI.

ARDOR COOLS OVER COMING J)F SUNDAY Ministers Report They Have Had Poorly Attended Preliminary "Sunday" Meetings. THOMAS WOULD AROUSE THEM The ardor and enthusiasm of Omaha ministers concerning the com ing of Billy Sunday was unintention ally dampened Monday morning by Elmer E. Thomas and other speak ers at the last regular meeting of the 6eason hold by the Ministerial union at the Young Men's Christian asso ciation. Thomas told the preachers that there iv ga a hereculean Job ahead of them; that It was entirely up to the pastors to make, the ttUly Sunday revival a suc cess or failure; that Billy Sunday thinks Omaha la "tough soil and a hard field;" that the preachers must set Omaha afire before Blhy Sunday comes, or else his revival will not be successful; that "the ministers will get an awful tongue lash ing if they don't make the enterprise a go;" that the Billy Sunday campaign meetings have so far been only perfunc tory and have not reached the core of the situation; that the laymen "have not yet boon Interested;" that the prayer meetings have been discontinued:." that "Billy Sunday Is worn out and leg weary;" that the preachers are "off on the wrong foot," and that "there is enor mous discontent in the hearts of the min isters." Compares with Mormons. The listening pastors were made to squirm in their seats by Thomas' men tion of the seal and success of the Mor mon church, as compared to some other churches. He continued: 'It Is only ten weeks before Lilly comes. I don't know what can be done, but something must be done. It is up to the preachers." The union voted to hold special meet ings In July and August to promote the Billy Sunday campaign, instead of ad journing till September, as was originally planned. Following Thomas' talk. Rev.

The officers have not yet had any of the persons living in the vicinity of the Kykes home where the murder occurred try to identify him. He talks rather irrationally at times and the pollco are not aanguine that he had anything to do with the case. It haa been their policy to run down every clue, however, and when word came from Farmer A. B Newcomb at Sargent that a strsnger there hsd been talking about the case, they at once went after him. It took nearly a week's search to find the man. Stuthelt haa relatives at Ioup City.

When early reports that Frank's sen tence had been commuted began to circu late, crowds began to gather on the prin cipal downtown street corners.

In his statement exhaustively explain ing his reasons for commuting Prank's sentence, Oovernor Slaton reviewed the circumstance surrounding the murder of Mary Phagan In the National Pencil factory here, on April V, 19U, the con viction of Frank, and his appeals for clemency. Continuing, the statement roads: "The murder was a most heinous one and the offender deserved the punish ment of death. The only question Is ss to the Identity of the criminal. The respon sibility Is upon the people of Georgia to protect the lives of Its citlsens and to maintain the dignity of Its laws, and If the choice muat be made between the ap probation of citlsens of other states and the enforcement of our laws against of fenders, we must choee the latter al ternative. "It la charged that the court and Jury were terrorised by a mob and that the jury were coerced into their verdict. When Frank was Indicted and the air was filled with rumors as to the murder snd mutilation of the girl, there was In tense feeling and to such an extent that my predecessor, Oovernor Brown, stated In argument before me .that he had the militia ready to protect the defendant if any attack was made. "Bome weeka later the defendant waa) put on trial." Important Facia Cited. The governor then reforred to Georgia's laws relating to change of venue, de claring tlieae provisions most broad In behalf of tho defendant to Insure a fair trial. Frank, he aald, went to trial with out aaktng a change of venue and sub mitted, his case to a Jury that was ac ceptable to him. "During the progress of the trial " the statement continued, "after evidence had been introduced laving the crime with many offensive details upon Frank, the feeling against him became intense. if the audience In the court room manifested their deep resentment toward Frank, It waa largely by this evidence of ftejtng. beyond the court's power to cor reot. It would be difficult for an ap pelate court or a trial court to grant a new trial In such a long case bersuse the audience in the court room on a few occasions Indicated Its sympathy. "The Jury found the defendant guUty and with exception of the demonstration i rulside the court room there was no dis order. Nothing waa done which the courts could correct through legal ma chinery."

The court further held thst election officials who sought to enforce such O.titNea could he held amenable to law for denying persons a right to vote and that such officials could not disregard the fact that the fifteenth amendment had stricken out of the state law the word "white" as a qualification of vot ing. The court held that Oklahoma had not meant to provide a literacy teat for its voters.

The suit waa Instituted In accordance with a resolution of congress In the fed eral district court of Oregon, on Septem ber 4. 19tW.

The government sought to prove that tho company had hold in large tracts to timber companies at more than K.M an e-e, and has adopted a policy to sell no more to any purchaser for the time being. The railroad contended that the pro vision was not effective, because the lands were unfit for settlement, . and furthermore, urged that the government was stopped from raising the question of forfeiture because of long acquisoenoa In the company's disregard of the selling provision.

The an nouncement that Kmperor William has assumed supreme command ol the operations In Gallcia Is inter preted here as an indication of com plete German confidence In the final victory on the assault of Lemberg, regarded as so near at hand that the generals who during the last two months have battered their way across the province wish the emperor to participate personally In the ex pected triumph.

Never theless It Is questioned here that any thing so vital as the flight of the Rus sian army as Indicated by Vienna reports or a perilous break In the Russlsn front has occurred.
