FRANK'S CONDITION DEATH IS FEARED Temperature of Prisoner Slash- ed by Convict in Attempt to Kill, Rises to 102. MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., July 19.— Physicians who examined Leo M. Frank in the State Prison early to- | day said his condition was much worse. The jagged cut on his throat received at the hands of a fellow prig- oner Saturday night was swollen and his temperature was 1022-5. The swelling of the wound indicates blood poisoning and the physicians fear death may result. The patient is in great pain. Dr. H. J.

Becker, in his Statement, will reiterate the accusa- Won made during his trials, that a Gambler witness fired the first shot at Rosenthal because he was drunk and ‘voluntarily led the way into the crime. Becker will charge that the politi- ian was really responsible for Ro- @enthal moving uptown from lower Beoond Avenue to compete with “Bridgie” Webber and other gam- blers who had the Tenderloin staked out a: their own particular fidid. The politician, according to Becker, want- @4 to collect a big debt from Rosen- ‘thal, and, knowing that the gambler mad no chance to get the money on the east side, had advised him to go uptown, Becker claims that the politician sent for him and ordered him to let Rosenthal alone, saying that he had geen Commissioner Waldo and every- thing was all right. Becker alleges ~\thet he really believed Commissioner / Waldo had agreed to let Rosenthal ‘conduct a gambling house until the commissioner, after twice ordering (him to raid Rosenthal's place, supple- mented a third order with the state- ment that jf Becker didn’t follow in- structions he would lose his job.

It was, understood Pret and Mr. Li a found that they hi reached about the same conclusion—that the next communication to Germany will be of a definite character, mak- that the cannot be expected passive in the event and unresisting ship with a lot of Americans. it is now practically agreed, will announce to Germany the intention of the United States to as- sert its rights on the high seas in accordance with International law, There probably will be little or no discussion on the principles already treated at length in previous notes. Prompt action in despatching the note was generally forecast. To-mor- row it will be submitted by the Presi- dent to the Cabinet and possibly may be revised again.at Friday's meeting. In official quarters it was agreed the communication would be on its way to Berlin by Saturday. Although it is not certain whether reference will be made to the attack on the Cunard liner Orduna, it ts known that this incident has swept aside previous suggestions that the next communication would take into consideration that German submarine commanders In actual practice were conforming to the ru'ca of interna- tonal law. Ii pective of the deta ls of the Orduna attack, the fact that a vessel carrying Americans bound Ww the United States and tr-napurting nu contraband was attacked without warning impressed high officials that German submarine warfare still held forth many hazards for Americans travelling the high seas “on lawful er- rands." Secretary Lansing was at the White House for more than an dour, While he had been in frequent communica- tion with the President since the Executive went to Cornish, N, H,, it is understood that he did not obtain until to-day the President's final de- cision of the extent to which the pur poses of the United States should b stated in the next note. The President is said to have be- come convinced that the next com- munication to Germany must point out in much more emphatic terms than have heretofore been used the earnest intention of the American Government not to surrender any of ite rights. | family physician, who returned to Atlanta last night, believed Frank's condition warranted his leaving. He and another Atlanta doctor were summoned back to-day. Toward dawn Frank was restless, his tempera- ture Continued to rise and at about daylight, he was delirious at brief in- tervals. ‘The temperature reached the highest shortly before 8 o'clock and then began to drop. Later It was a fraction over 101, Dr, Guy Compton, the prison phy- sician, was not so alarmed over the turn of the night as were the other attendants, Hoe stated to-day that some fever was to be expected and that the swollen neck was not neces- sarily within itself an exceedingly dangerous sign. Blood poisoning ts most feared. The stitches seem to be holding. There was danger that th patient, who has choking fits, would break the stitches in his neck, and, with his jugular partly severed, they admitted the fresh bleeding almost certainly will kill him quickly in such an event, The physicians complained, too,, of the risk of infection from other pa- tients, one of whom has typhoid, and arrangements were being made to move Frank from the infirmary to a private room. His hands as well as his throat were gashed in his struggle with Creen, but these wounds were of minor im- portance. Dr. W. J. McNaughton, @ convict, was near Frank when he was at- tacked, Dr, McNaughton, like Frank, was saved from the gallows by a commutation of sentence from Gov. Slaton. os Dr. Rosenberg to-day gave Dr. Mc- Naughton full credit for saving Frank from death, His quick work in mak- jugular vein stopped the flow of blood, Dr. Rosenberg also said that the muscles in Frank's neck were badly cut and if he lives he always will have a stiff neck. Frank, who did not lose conscious- ness when wounded and who dis- played the same quiet courage and confidence he has manifested throughout his imprisonment, said: “I will die unafraid if I dle, for there is nothing between me and my God, But I will get well. I must get well. I must vindicate my name, and | if I have time I will do that.” ’ He has gged that Convict “Bill” Creen, who slashed his throat, suffer no punishment for the murderous attack.

One report says 3,000,000 men are fighting on this front alone. The total number fighting on the whole Russian line Is put at 6,000,000. Official dispatches to-day reported that the Germans are rapidly shift- ing troops from all fronts to the sup- port of Mackensen, whose centre is endangered by furious Russian at- tacks, Both sides of the German wedge whose apex rests near Krasno- taf are being battered in by the rein- forced Slav armies and continuation of the Russian advance threatens to cut off a large body of German troops. Desperate fighting around Preasnyss and in the Riga region to the north has resulted in severe losses on both | sides in the last ‘twenty-four hours. | ‘The War Office admits that the Rus- sian retirement still continues at some sectors of this front, but mili- tary men here see no menace in Von Hindenburg’s offensive. The belief prevails here that Von Hindenburg’s dash from the north Is a feint to conceal the major operation of Mackensen in the region south of Lublin, Reports that Von Hinden- burg is aiming at Warsaw with an army of a million men, the War Office believes, have been pyrposely gent out from Berlin in an attempt to | cover up the shifting of troops to the aid of Mackensen, Since the withdrawal of German divisions from Galicia the Austrians have made no perceptible gains in their attacks against the Russian positions, Though Lites Veet dered at several portion® of the southeastern front the Russian troops have had no difficulty in beating back Austrian attack: ———_ /BRITISH CASUALTIES 42,434 IN DARDANELLES Premier Asquith Tells House of Commons 1,933 Officers Were Killed. | LONDON, July 19—The total casn- alties of the Dardanelles expeditionary force to date in killed, wounded and missing have ben 42,434 officers and men, Premier Asquith told the House of Commons to-day, The total tn- cludes both naval and military branches of the service, Out of an aguregate of 8,084 casual- ties among officers, the Premier's statement said, the Killed numbered 1,983, BRITISH PAY $3,500,000 FOR COTTON CARGOES Asquith Announces That 49 Neutral Cotton Ships Have Been Seized.
