Wash, has furnished a strange ath mystery, will be promptly paid according to statement made at the home today.
 Following the positive news of her sons tragic death. Mrs. Long today was prostrated at her home.
 'I have offered 5000 for information concerning my sons whereabouts, and of course, I will pay it.' Alderman Long was quoted as saying.
 Besides the sum offered by the father the state of Washington had promised 10 give a reward of 5000.
 Tn my mind there is no doubt as to the way in which Carson ceme 70 his death," said Alderman Long. "EIc was walking on the railroad bridge and was caught by train.
 He was struck by the train, which accounts for the broken bones. and his body hurled into the river He must have suffered his injuries before strik ing the river. as the river at this point was deep and free from ice.''

BROWNS ENEMIES
 BEGIN ID KNOCK
Criticise Georgia Governor in Not Committing Jeff
 fersOn's Sentence

Atlanta, April 14.- Special .)-Because it happened that he disagreed with the k,is1.i commission and declined to grant execs.iye cleinency to James Jefferson, who committed suicide in Muscogee county jail to avoid the gallows, Gov. Joseph M. Browns political enemies are now attack ing him on the theory that he should have commuted the sentence to life imprison- ment.
 It is said that some of these same crit ics have been foremost in their condem- nation of the too free use of the pardoning power, and the incident may be looked upon as one of the "be damned if you do and be damned if you don't" sort. It is unquestionably natural that rela- tives and friends of the condemned man should have some feeling in the matter, bu; it is difficult to reconcile the charge that some of them are making to the effect that politics played part in the decision.
 Before the decision adverse to Jeffer- son was rendered, it was charged that politics was figuring in the Hae, but on the other side! The theory was that pos iItical influences were being brought to
 
 pear to save Jefferson from the gallows. But when the decision came and was against him, this theory was turned right around and some of Jefferson's friends ,e now charging that politics turned the se against him.
 Is a safe assertion that there is no bstance back of either one of these
 rges or theories as the case may be- ere has probably never been criminal
