CARRANZA LIKELY TO BLOCK PARLEY

Constitutionalist Leader Expected to Refuse to Join Conference For Peace Parley. Representatives of General Carranza, chief of the Constitutionalists of Mexico, say that he will probably refuse to accept the plans for peace offered by the Pan-American conference. Last summer, it may be recalled, a conference of the leaders wast held at the suggestion of President Wilson, in Niaga Falls. Carranza then took the position thait Merico could solve its own problems and that he would take care of the interests he supported and would oppose intervention. He is expected to reply to the message of last week that he has already established peace in a great part of Mexico and that the success of his arms is only a question of time and he will insist that he be let alone. From other quarters it is suggested thait Carranza may consent to join in a conference if it is htld in the City of Mexico.

LEO FRANK LYNCHED

Body Riddled With Bullets Left Hanging to Tree Near Atlanta

Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 17.—Leo M. Frank, the convicted slayer of little Mary Phagan in this city, and the state of Georgia’s most hated man, was kidnaped from the state prison at Milledgeville last night and lynched. The body was found hanging to a tree back of Fry’s cotton gin, two miles from Marietta, at daylight this morning. The mob which took him from the prison farm at Milledgeville evidently intended to throw the body across the grave of Mary Phagan as they had threatened, but were probably frightened away by the approach of daylight. It was reported that Frank was shot to death by his captors about 4 o’clock this morning. Covington, a village near Meda, reported that an automobile being driven at a furious pace went through that place about 4 o’clock. It was headed north. The whole state of Georgia is aroused today as perhaps never before in its history.

FAMOUS SHOW HERD ON INDIANA TOUR

Warren T. McCray’s Blue Blooded Herefords Will Attend Many County Fairs in State. Warren T. McCray, president of the Indiana State Board of Agriculture, will send the flower of his immense herd of pure-bred Herefords on a long tour of Indiana county fairs this summer and fall, that farmers and live stock breeders may see what is possible for them to accomplish in improving the quality of their own stock at home. The show herd includes about fifty of the flower of over 400 Herefords which Mr. McCray has on his Orchard Lake Stock Farm near Kentland, and county fairs that are now on the itinerary of the Indiana tour are Columbus, Connersville, Rushvilie, Shelbyville, Lebanon, Frankfort, Lafayette, Crawfordsvillt, Terre Haute, North Manchester, and others will be added before the fair season closes. Mr. McCray will make the tour with his herd.

Mr. McCray has in ten years advanced from an obscure breeder of Herefords until he now leads the world. He began his Hereford activities in 1905 with five animals. As his herd has grown in numbers and quality his stock farm has increased until it now includes 1,500, and it is regarded as one of the best equipped breeding farms in the United States. The first pure-bred bull he bought cost $2,500 and it dies before he had obtained much service from it. Since last March Mr. McCray has sold $85,000 worth of his stock to breeders scattered from New York to California, and from Minnesota to Georgia and Texas. One bull was sold for $7,500 to a Montana breeder. While the McCray cattle will be shown in all of the Hereford classes at the county fair, the chief purpose of the tour is not to win ribbons. It is to be an educational tour, from

Mrs. Frank, the faithful and. loving wife of the south’s most celebrated prisoner, the woman who has fought for him through thiek and thin, who never has expressed a doubt about his innocence of the crime with which he was charged and of which he was convicted—this faithful little woman was near death’s door today. She collapsed and swooned when the news of the kidnaping of her husband was broken to her. In Atlanta three companies of militia were assembled and were ready to be rushed to any point in the state at a moment's noice. Offices of sheriffs throughout the state were notified by Governor Harris of Georgia to be on the lookout for the kidnaped prisoner or for members of the kid-" naping party who took Frank from the prison last night after haying overpowered warden, superintendent and prison guards. Frapjk was n,ot in the best of health when he was dragged from his bed

between 11 and 12 o’clock last night, and carried off. He had not yet folly recovered from the injuries inflicted upon him by a fellow convict recently. No time was lost after Frank had been secured. He was almost thrown into one of the waiting automobiles. Then the mob with Frank sped away. Because all wires except. one_entering Milledgeville had been cut by the mob as one of their precautions, it was impossible, early in the morning to communicate with those at the prison. One of the last acts of the mob was to remove the handcuffs from the wrists of Warden Smith, but Superintendent Burfee was left securely bound. When the body of Frank was recovered from Little River a rope was found tied .around the neck, The body had been riddled with bullets. No clews to the lynchers have been fonnd.
