WATSON IS FREED
ON TECHNICALLY
ARTICLES SENT THROUGH MAILS
INCOMPLETE, SAYS JURIST.
THE INDICTMENT is QUASHED
Government Not Entitled to Pick Out
Paragraphs at Random, Declares
Jurist-Reindictment Said
to Be Impossible.

Augusta, Ga.-llolding that the in.
dlctment charging Thomas f.. Watson.
e|dltor-author and former presidential
candidate, WITH sending obscene matter
through the mails, was illegal, Federal
Judge Rufus E.. Foster ordered the ease
thrown out of court.
In sustaining the motion of the de-
Tense, asking that the indictment be
quashcd, Judge Foster brought the trial
to an abrupt and unexpected close. The
largest audience ever assembled in the
federal courtroom here attended, and
when the judge announced his ruling
dismissing the charges against the
Georgia editor the spectators broke into
cheers. Judge Foster paid no attention
to this demonstration, which quickly
subsidized.
1t was solely upon the contention
raised by Watson himself that under
the federal statute the entire alleged OBJ
scene article, and not a portion of it.,
must be included in the Indictment, that
the court ordered the case dismissed. Ex-
tended argument on the motion had been
made by s. G. McLcndon, Watson's prin-
cipal attorney, and at the close of this
the defendant asked permission to pre-
sent what he described as "other phases
of the matter.
This being granted, Watson addressed
the court briefly, laying stress upon his
claim that the Indictment should not Sc
lect certain passages of the article writ
ten by him, but should include the en-
tire matter, He said that unless this
was true, it would be possible to indict
persons mailing copies Of the Bible, or
the criminal code of Georgia.
What course the United States dis
trict attorney will pursue is still in
doubt, as he has refused SO far to dis
cuss the matter. Mr.. Watson, before
leaving Augusta for his home at Thorn
son, Ga, expressed himself as satisfied
with the outcome of the trial. He ap.
parently was greatly pleased.

MRS. PANKHURST
ALLOWED To LAND
PRESIDENT DIRECTS SHE BE AID
MITTED TO COUNTRY.
EXPLAINS HER MlLITANCY
Declares England in a State of Civil War
and That Her Government Is
Against Women-Sails for
Home Nov. %.

New York.-Mrs. Emmeline Pank.
hurst, the English militant ~sutfragette
leader, landed on Manhattan Island from
Ellis Island, where she had been de-
tanned since last Saturday by the immi.
grafton authorities. She had been or
dcred deported as an undesirable alien,
but President Wilson and Secretary of
Labor Wilson interviewed on her appeal
from the decision and instructed An
thony Caminetti, commissioner-general
OF immigration, to release her on her w
recognizance and without bond. Mrs.
P%ankhurst now will be able to carry
out her contemplated lecture tour in
this country. She expects to sail for
Europe November 2S.
1t is difficult to imagine that the
slight built, gray-haired little woman
who stepped ashore from the ferryboat
at the Battery was the same person that
Tor several years had caused the Brit
ish government so much trouble by rea.
son of her militant tactics in behalf of
woman suffrage or her inclinations IN
militancy for "the cause" Also her
tranquil cou%ntenance and brightness of
eye gave mo indication that she had
gone through the ordeals of six pro-
longed hunger strikes to obtain her re-
lease from prison sentences imposed for
Illegal acts committed in England in
her endeavors to gain votes for women.
Shortly after she landed, Mrs. Pank-
hurst was taken in an automobile to the
residence of Mrs. O. II. p. Belmont, where
she had luncheon, and later dined at the
Aldine Club by the Woman's Political
Union. She was highly elated over her
release.
The American people did tit is
their WILL" she said. What will the
English say" Then she paid her re-
spects tartly to Reginald McKenna, the
British home secretary, characterizing
him as the chief torturer for England"
She said it was not her purpose to
preach militoncy in this country, but
that she would contine herself to an ex-
position of the treatment accorded the
sutfragettes in England.
England is in a state of civil war to-
day, and we English women are in revolt
a government which does not
represent u.s." said Mrs. Pankhurst.

In speaking Of this matter, Commits
sioner George X. Edwards said:
"We are anxious to put in a rate
whereby canned goods and molasses can
be handled profitably in this state. We
are fast approaching the period when
our farmers will have to turn away
from cotton, and the growing and can
ming of vegetables and fruits offers q
most inviting field. What we want to
do is to be fair and just, but at the
same time to name rates hat will help
the canning industry"
One of the commissioners stated that
he had been informed that the rate on
canned goods to Mississippi from Bal
timore was lower than rates in effect
from one point to another in this state.
1t is to thoroughly consider this whole
subject that much of the time of the
first meeting next month will be de-
voted, and all of the commissioners are
anxious to secure as much information
as possible regarding it.
I'VE hope to see persons from out in
the country, as well as local merchants,
present on that date said Mr.. Ed
wards, and from the information that
we gather at that time we will take
action that w hope will stimulate and
encourage the growing of vegetables and
fruits for canning purposes"

Who WILL LAND

KraenzIein, Former U. of M. Train

was developed by Mike Murphy at
Michigan. Moakloy of Cornell and

This leaves the present choice tn
KraenZloin and it is not known posi-
lively that he has been approached.
The athletic authorities at Penn nat
urally refuse To openly discuss the
subject of Murphys successor for
some DAYS although for weeks, oi
ever since it was known that the death
Of Murphy was a matter OF a short
time, the question of his successor
has been discussed.
\ plan to perpetuate the memory of
Mike Murphy at the university took
concrete form this morning when II
was practically decided to erect a
memorial To his memory. The mem
orial probably will take the shape of
handsome gate to Franklin Field.
