Unit aside lroin cexlain evidences of u
previous connection with Hie murdered
woman, Alary x’hugan, there was little
evidence offered at the trials to show
that Frank huil any connection with
the murder and severul were of the
opinion that the principal witnesses
were themselves in possession of more
knowledge of how .Mary l'iiugaii came
to her untimely end than was tiie man
accused of the crime. A summary of
tiie trial and the connecting circum
stances steins to diseiose witli ample
certitude that Hie principal cause
against Frank was that he was a Jew
and throughout the conduct of the fa
mous case this fact was made one of
the most prominent features. The
press of Georgia, almost without ex
ception, kept tiie Semitic origlon of the
accused man constantly before tiie
eyes of its readers anil no opportunity
was lost to foster and engender ani
mosity against him because of that
fact. The most bitter abuse was con
stantly heaped upon him with savage
vindictiveness and all animated by
that one fact—that he was of an alien
race—a Jew. Throughout the news
paper comment and criticism that
word constantly showed Itself like
some creeping reptile until, through
the constant reiteration, "He is a Jew,”
became a greater and more damning
accusation that “He is a possible mur
derer." There was a doubt about the
one fact but none whatever concerning
the other and the public were quick
to seize upon whatever of fact of a
condemnatory nature that might bo

Frank been one of the membeis of me
dominating race—an American or
ei en all Englishman there is little
uouot that mere would not hate been
visible even a small portion ol liie pre
judice aim vindictiveness Uispluye-d
toward hint. The records of other fa
mous cases of like nature show little
of the bitterness aim animosity which
was tlie most outstanding feature of
tlie case under discussion. Even the
celebrated Durrani case of a decade
ago developed none of that deteinun
deiy hostile attitude oil tlie part of tlie
public and at tlie same time tlie crime
was of an evin more brutal ami in
excusable nature. The law authorities
of California were dearly open to the
suspicion of using every effort to place
the blame on one suspect alone with
out making any effort to seek for other
possibly responsible parties but the
pulilie betrayed no desire to hung Dur
rani until lie was proven guilty, ftt the
case of Frank, everything seems to in
dicate that he was nothin" less than
the victim of that unaccountable race
prejudice which clings to mankind de
spite the advance of civilisation and
enlightment and his unfortunate end
discloses all too clearly that the cul
ture of centuries has not relieved mar
of but little of his savage and barbar
ous instincts. Irrespective; of whethei
or not Frank was guilty tof the erimt
for which he was condemned, his bru
tal death will remain a blot upon tht
fair face of Georgia for all time for nt
more horrible example of savagt
cruelty lias ever been shown in tht
I'nited States. Even In the event that
there was a manifest perversion ol
justice in the act of Governor Slatton
in commuting the death sentence, ir
forcibly removing Frank from the jur
isdiction of the law and imposing their
own conceptions of justice in lieu
thereof, the people of Georgia have
covered themselves with an unholy
shame that cannot lie excused on the
pretext of righting a miscarriage of
justice. Frank may have richly de
served his fate, but the fact, that he
was deserving of It was not proven to
tlie minds of those who were unpre
judiced by his racial connections and
in thus taking the law into their own
hands, the people have committed an
even greater crime than that for which
he was condemned.
The report for the fiscal year of the
government assay office in Seattle in
dicates the important inlluence that
Alaska, British Columbia and Yukon
gold exert in contributing to the busi
ness of this city. During the year
nineteen tons of gold, of the value of
| $8,850,000, wi re received here, and of
this amount approximately $5,000,000
was exchanged for newly-minted coins
and entered ttie channels of city trade.
Shippers to the assay office have the
alternative of accepting gold coin or
treasury drafts on New York for their
bars and dust. It is particularly that
portion of the shipments Ifcpnverted
into coin that remains in Seattle. Be
yond this, large sums are invested here
by miners who feel that Seattle pro
perty is an attractive form of invest
ment. In the seventeen years of the
life of the local assay office 457.6 tons
of gold have been received, valued at
$228,462,716, and of this total British
Columbia and Yukon territory con
tributed $109,428,000.
The unlocking of Alaska resources
and the construction of tlie government
railway are expected to bring a return
of the old golden days. New placer
deposits are being opened, ns well as
new quartz mines requiring large init
ial Investments for machinery. Gold
receipts here between now and the
closing of navigation are expected to
show an increase over the average re
ceipts for the same period. In gold and
copper receipts, in general commerce

and as the entrepot of Alaska for the
business man and the settler Seattle
expects a great year in 1916, the evi
dences of which are even now apparent.

HUGE
WAR
LOSSES
Authoritative statements from the
belligerent powers, sifted, compared
and footed up by a statistican iu New
York, place the total casualities in the
Kuropean war to date at 5,826,000 men.
German} has suffered the greatest
losses. On the western frontier in her
first terrific drive Germany lost about
500,000 men; her entire losses on the
western frontier total to date 1,250,000.
Russia, on the other side, made an
other large bole in the German army,
bringing the total German losses, in
cluding the lighting uround the Dar
danelles, to the 2,000,000.
According to 225 German statements,
of which 180 are classified, Germany’s
losses up lu March 31 amounted close
to 1,800,000. The fighting in the last
six weeks must surely add another
200.000, as the struggle in Poland, Ga
lucia and the Carpathians, as well as
the tremendous and sustained fighting
in Flanders and northwest France, has
been exceptionally severe.
Russia is bearing her brunt of the
warfare. A million and three-quarters
should cover her losses, but this Is
purely an estimate, as no dispatches
have ben received lately stating the
Russian losses.
The French government issued re
cently some remarkable figures show
ing the percentage of wounded who
have recovered or are recovering and
these who are or will he fit for service
again: Wounded, but fit for service
almost immediately, 54.50 per cent.;
wounded and on leave, 24.50 per cent.;
wounded in hospitals, 17.40 per cent;
permanently disabled and unfit for ser
vice, 1.46 per cent.; deaths resulting
from wounds, 3.48 per cent.
These figures show clearly the small
number of men killed outright.
French and Belgian losses up to Feb
ruary 1 amounted to 1,133.462, accord
ing to dispatches from the French gov
ernment. Counting the Iossps since
then, t^e total can safely be raised to
1.750.000.
Knglnnd has sustained comparative
ly few losses, compared to the other
belligerents, her loses totaling 175,000.
Of this amount 6,747 are naval losses,
consisting of 417 officer® and 6,330 sea
men.
Serbia has lost approximately 300.000
and Turkey 75,000.
A French economist estimates that
the total of military expenditures for
;the first year of the war will be $10,
000,000,000 for the seven allies and $7,
400.000. 000 for Germany, Austria and
Turkey.
This makes an average of $1,440,
000,000 a month, $48,400,000 n day, or
$2,000,000 an hour.
