Clay Hopes for Life;
Blind Man for Sight.

Clay waits in the Tower In hope
that new chance for life will be given
him by the highest court of his state.

in waits on him. For in his death. the
man who sells papers in darkness at
Whitehall and Alabama streets, homes
for vision of sunshine, Of the power to
see his fellow man, of the right to
mingle as a member not as a depend
ent of society.
He has planned and specialists of
Atlanta have admitted that there is so
much feasibility in his scheme that
they are actually investigating the pos
sibility of transplanting the cornea of
the mu-derer's eyes that see into the
head of the citizen who is sightless that
ne may see when the law has been sat-
isied with the wife slayers life.
The plan originated in the brain Of
Cashin. His earnest, repeated, request
was the cause of specialists consider

said TO be unknown to ocular science.

Consults Eminent
Specialists on Plan.

Cashin has the papers that he sells
read him each day. One day early
this summer the news was read him
that a jury had imposed the death pen
atty on Clay. The judge had ordered
his execution in July. He Immediately
became obsessed with the idea this
man must die, why should not | use
his eyes?"
The idea grew with the days. Cashiu
finally decided to consult a physician.
He had once been examined by DIR. ].
N. Ellis. He called on him again
His plan, as bizarre as Poe ever inn
agined, was submitted to the physician
as a matter of fact business, Dr. Ellis
at first gave the man no hope. But
Cashin was insistent. His own mind
told him that the operation was pos
sible. He pleaded with the physician.
He finally succeeded.
1t was decided that if his optic
nerves are still serviceable after his
years of blindness there is the posi-
bility that the eyes of a man that has
read the death sentence might make

Seeing through the eyes Of a

is the hope of John Cashin. a
peaceful, blind paper seller Of At.
lanta. At his earnest behest ex-
pert plans are now being made
to remove the Orbs of a man that
the law says shall not live in or
der to restore Cashin S power to
see the things of the world in
which he has lived for years in
total, hopeless darkness.
John Cashin would literally apply the
ancient Mosaic doctrine of an eye for
an eye. The law has said that as Rob-
ert l.. Clay killed his wife, Robert l.
Clay must die. Twelve jurors have de-
cided that earthly use for Robert L.
Clay has passed. His physical being
must pay the cost
But John Cashn can see hope
through the eyes of the slayer. Though
Clay's body die Cashin would have his
eyes see. but see from the brain and for
the soul of one who has never offended
man made laws and who is therefore
entitled to live

WASHINGTON, Aug. f4.-The house
this afternoon passed the steel bill over
the presidents veto by vote of t73
to 80.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 14.--Unde-
TERED by the action of the Democratic
and insurgent Republican coalition in
the house which passed the wool bill
over his veto yesterday, President Taft
today sent q message to congress in
which he vetoed the steel bill, passed by
the house and senate. and sent to him
for his signature.
Earlier in the day there had been ru-
rrors that the president was so bitter
over the failure of "standpat' Repub-
licars TO attend Yesterdays session
and support his stand that he would
allow the steel bill to become a law,
and only the presidents message end
ed these rumors..
The president based his veto of the
steel bill--the metal schedule of the
tariff-on the ground that 1t was
framed without consulting the reports
of the tariff board. and provided only
for revenue and not for the protection
of American industries.
Explains His Objections.
In lengthy message the president
enumerated his objections under the
principle heads:
First he took exceptions to the act OF
congress in overlooking the pubica-
tons of the tariff board, and chided the
house for paying no, attention to the
findings of this body.
Second, he objected to the schedule
because it provides tariff for revenue
only and not for protection.
Third, because of its tremendous i'm
mediate effect on millions of working
men and their families and hundreds
of millions of dollars worth of goods,
without first providing for a careful and
dtstinterested inquiry into the condi-
tons of the whole industry.
In summing up his reason for with
holding his approval of the measure,
the president said:
Tariff Board Ignored.
From the outset of my administra-
ton have advised a revision of the
tariff based on a bipartisan study OF
the facts. | have provided the means
for securing such information in the
appointment Of tariff board. Their
thorough work, already completed on
several schedules, has justified my con-
fdence in this method. The principle Is
indorsed by chambers of commerce and
boards of trade in almost every city Of
importance in the country.
THE proposed bin has not been
framed on the basis of any such study
of the industry Avowedly its rates
are fixed with no consideration of any
thing but revenue The principle Of
protection is disregarded entirely. and
therefore it is not too much to say that
the effect of these sweeping changes on
the welfare of those engaged in the
various industries has been disre-
gaTdpd "

The sale Of cigarettes in Atlanta has

according to statistics gathered at a
well known Whitehall street stand.
This applies to all classes of ciga-

According to the state supreme court a

actually goes out in the highways and by

may hire the peddler is not a peddler

The courts definition came as the re-
suit of an appeal from the judgment Of
the superior court of Tattnau county
made by S P Smith, the sheriff, and other
county officers, who had been enjoined
from licensing J. f. Whidden
Whidden, it seems, had peddled for a
Confederate veteran, who, under the law,
is not required to pay a license.
The high court held that Whidden was
the peddler because he did the hawking,
and, therefore, the clause exempting Con-
federate veterans did not apply to him.

Up to this time it was supposed that
