Tt was announced to-day by Isadore M. Levy, Vice Chairman of the Anti- Lynching Committee formed to raise funds to punish the lynchers of Leo| M.

(Special to The Evening World.) ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 20.—Authori- ties of Baldwin and Cobb Counties, Georgia, will be formally “urged” by Gov. Harris to “exert utmost efforts to bring to justice members of the party that lynched Leo M. Frank.” Gov. Harris announced to-day that he will request Judges, Solicitors General and Sheriffs of Baldwin County, in which the State farm located, and of Cobb County, where Frank was killed, to call on him in his office here to discuss the matter and will ask them to make “every effort to ascertain the guilty parties.” If more than that, together with the offering of rewards totalling $1,500, the denunciation of mob rule and the customary promise to “investigate thoroughly” hag been done by any Olficials, State or county, it is not generally known, Whether more will be done is a of conjecture. If members of ‘ank mob are punished they will first lynchers taken in tow by the law in the memory of “oldest residents. So far as tt publicly known, ac: tivities of Baldwin County autho! ties have been confined to readt newspaper accounts of the lynchi and declaring that it could not ha’ been prevented. Governor, prison commissioners and prison authorities have done virtually nothing more, so far as the Evening World correspondent can learn, ex- cept to excuse each other, deplore the pmnerense and eay it was unavold- able. Cobb County authorities are not known to have taken any steps fur- ther than announce that the inquest will be conducted Tuesday.

Not liking his looks, Grinberg says be told him he had none in stock. Then with the remark, “If you o) your mouth I'll blow your head off, Grinberg says the man ran around the counter and grappled with him. In his efforts to keep between his as- eaflant and the safe, Grinberg says his head struck the heavy steel door, knocking pim senseless on the floor, ere hi# clerk, Abe Silver, No. #42 Stockton Street, Brooklyn, found him twenty minutes later, Silver notified Trafic Policeman Griswold and in a few minutes Act- ing Captain Gildea of the Second Branch Detective Bureau was on the scene with bis finger print experts and other assistants.
