It is not expected before Friday or Saturday. Next Tuesday, June 22. is the date pet for Frank's execution for the mur der of Mary Fhagan.

Governor Auks Many Qoestloaa, ' The session today was occupied by William M. Howard, in his closing ar gument in Frank's behalf. Howard was interrupted frequently by ques tions from the Governor on points of evidence and by Solicitor Dorsey, who took issue with statements as to what had been brought out in the trial. Mr. Howard attacked the testimony of state witnesses and sought to con vince the Governor of alleged incon sistencies and contradictions in the testimony and affidavits of Jim Conley. a negro, who served a prison term after the trial. He asserted that Con ley's testimony was an invention of his own mind, designed to divert sus picion from himself. Take the name of Leo Frank out of this case," declared Howard, "for get all that has passed in the last two years, give me a public mind that is a clean slate and put this case in any county in Georgia and I will acquit this defendant in 30 minutes. Presence of Girl Questioned. Howard declared that by the testi mony of the state's witnesses the rec ord showed Mary Fhagan was not in the pencil factory at the time the prosecution contended Frank killed her. He also declared the record showed that the girl had not arrived at Frank's office at the time Conley in his testimony had said he already had disposed of the body. The attorney presented to the Gov ernor a weekly financial sheet of the factory, which he declared Frank had made up the day the girl was mur dered. "We contend," he said, "that a per son could not have made out this com plicated statement after he had com mitted such a foul murder." Solicitor Dorsey asserted that the state contended the financial state ment had been compiled prior to the crime. "That , however, the state never proved," replied Howard.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, June 16. (Special.) Before 450 alumni and commencement guests President Campbell announced that returns from the millage tax would not be sufficient to meet the growing needs of the Uni versity and declared that a campaign for private donation must be started at once. 'The millage tax will net about J280,- 000 annually, which, added to other sources of revenue, gives an income of $300,000 a year," said President Camp bell. "This sum is all that the Uni versity has to cover running expenses, improvements, new buildings and every item of outgo. I do not look for any considerable increase within the next few years, as assessment values are not likely to advance. More Space Needed Badly. The housing problem is becoming serious. One building has been author ized for the next two years, but it will be more than filled by the school of education alone. Space must be pro vided for the Journalism, the commer cial, the law and other departments. "We must look to other sources man the state to supply these needs. Private gifts are not antagonistic to the spirit of a tax-supported school. Other state universities depend on private benefac tors to supplement the amount re ceived from the taxpayers. We must do the same. 'One unit of a suitable building for the growing department of music can be constructed for $10,000 and the same is true for the school of commerce. The University is looking to the alumni to see that these gifts are made." ScboIarabJpa Soon to Be Offered. President Campbell's declaration came at the alumni banquet following the granting of degrees to the 39th class to. leave the University. Mrs. G. T. Gerlinger. of Dallas, and the only woman on the board of regents, an nounced that due to work done among the high school students each one of the Portland high schools in another year will have sufficient money in its Oregon scholarship fund to send a senior to the University. She said that the movement for more scholarships would be pushed among the other high schools of the state. "Dr. Barnett 3 resolution to aDoiisn athletics is not going to get very far," declared Representative McArthur, known as the "father of athletics at Oregon," in responding to a toast. At the morning exercises C J. K.ey- ser, head of the department of mathe matics at Columbia University, New York, delivered the commencement ad drees. As his theme he set forward tave mission of a university. "A university is a spirit extending wherever its ideals go, not a material thing confined to the campus. A great university honors every form of human service, however humble. It never loses sight of the fact that a man is superior to his occupation." The commencement exercises were concluded tonight by the alumni re union and dance -in the men's gym nasium. CHERRIES SOLD Ifl EAST CAR FROM KKNNEWICK BRINGS ?2S47 AT PHILADELPHIA. Fruit la Declared Finest Received This Season, but Packing; Held In ferior to California. PHILADELPHIA. Pa.. June 11. (Snecial.l A car, loaded with cherries from Kennewlck. Wash., was sold at nublic sale today by the Philadelphia Auction Company for $2874.40. This was the first car of cherries to arrive at Philadelphia from the Pacific North west during the season. The Bings in the car averaged nearly $1.50 for each eight-pound box, while the Royal Annes brought $1.35 and $1.10, accord ing to the grade, xney were declares the finest cherries that had come to Philadelphia this season. The fruit arrived in prime condition and would have brought even a higher price than it did if the pack had been as good as the uniform cherry pack of California. "The cherry growers of the North west could add 25 or 30 cents to the prices obtained for their cherries," said Mr. Ives, "by importing packers from California to teach them the fine touches in the art of packing cherries. "The Florida Citrus Exchange saw the need of improving their pack five or six years ago, and employed some California experts to aid them. Today the Florida orange pack is fully equal to that of California and some even think that it is better." The wholesale dealers, the retail merchants and consuming public are accustomed to viewing the artistic pack of the California growers. Cars of cherries are still arriving from California and although they are inferior in quality to those from Wash ington and Oregon, their packs are a work" of art and the Northwestern cher ries suffer by the comparison. Even the boxes in which the fruit is packed are not as carefully made and nailed as those from California.

At wharves of Philadel phia and New York, 117,900 boxes of lemons are unsold and 193,000 boxes are due to arrive during the coming week.
