THE LEO FRANK CASE AGAIN.
Justice Lamar Issues Certificate OF
Appeal to U. s. Court.

y Washington, Dec. 28.--Justice La

Court, to-day granted an appeal from
the refusal of the Federal District
Court for Northern Georgia to re-
lease Oil habeas corpus proceedings
Leo M. Frank, under death sentence
for the murder Of Mary Phagan, at
Atlanta.
Frank has been sentenced to be
hanged January 20, but Judge La

record of the proceedings in the

WILLIAM NEWTON COX DEAD.
Passed Away at His Home I'm Green
Vile Yesterday Morning.

News Of the death OF w. n. Cox,
of Greenville, was received in Wal
halla yesterday afternoon through
telegram to w. r. Cobb, a nephew,
by marriage, of the deceased. The
telegram announced that death came
at 1.2O O'Clock a. M, and 1t was
stated that funeral services would be
held from the home at IL o'clock,
! Wednesday morning, the interment
to take place in the cemetery in the
city Of Greenville. This news will
| bring sorrow to many friends of the
deceased in Oconee, Mr.. Cox's home
county, where he was highly esteem
ed and respected by all who knew
him for his worth as citizen, as
! neighbor and as a friend. In his
passing away truly good man has
| been taken from among us.
William Newton Cox was born in
| Oconee county something over 20
years ago, and he had spent practical
ly all Of his long and useful life in
| this county. Wherever he was
known he was esteemed for his high
standard Of citizenship and his ad-
mirable qualities. Mr. Cox served
throughout the war as a member Of
Orr's Regiment, and he made a gal
| liant and fearless soldier, ready at the
call Of duty on the field Of battle as
| he was to meet every call in the less
trying periods of peace. He served
Oconee faithfully for several terms
as County Commissioner, and he
made an admirable official. Honest,
conscientious and true to every trust,
in official and private life his con-
duct was always above reproach.
About year ago, while Mr.. Cox
resided in the country in Greenville
county, he sustained injuries by a
fall from wagon, and it was doubt
| less these injuries that fastened his
death. UP to- that time he was hale
and strong, but from the time of his
| injury until his, death the decline
| was marked. For several months he
had been confined to his bed with
| Bright's disease, which was aggra-
waited by internal injuries that he
had received. Shortly after he sus-
| tanned his injuries he disposed Of his
| property in the country and bought
| property in the city Of Greenville,
| purchasing the property in which he
lived and died, No. 445 Washington
| street.
Mr. Cox was twice married, his
| second wife, who was Miss Myra Lay,
| of Pickens county, surviving him.
| His first wife was Miss Martha
Hughs, Of Oconee county, who died a
number of years ago. He also has
one brother living, a lawyer, who re-
sides out West
Mr. Cox will be greatly missed by
the people OF Oconee, who were al
ways delighted to meet and shake the
hand of this genial gentleman on his
] occasional visits to his old home. He
was indeed a gentleman of the old
school, thorough Christian and a
man without fear and without re-
| proach.' He was a consistent mem
ber Of the Baptist church and lived
daily the professions that he made.
The Courier, along with hosts Of
other friends of the deceased, ex-
tends to the bereaved ones sincere
sympathy in their hour of sorrow.

bill. ..,.. ...-...
The filming of Miriam Michelson's
story is regarded as one of the tri-
umphs of the moving picture art. Re-
hearsals show that every detail has
been clearly brought out. The story
is portrayed by a company of artists,
masters of the art of pantomine with
the result that the play on the screen
is presented with realism that would
be difficult to attain on the stage.
The Bishops Carriage" is the
story of woman fighting under fear

own way and arousing the admiration
and sympathy of her auditors, not be-
cause of her victory SO much as in
the fact that it is a woman who wins.

idarity, the Cloakmakers Union be-
came a mighty weapon for the protec-
ton of the otherwise helpless work
ers. The fairer employers soon ad-
justed their business to the more hui
peace with the workers and their or
ganization. But to a number of pet
ty manufacturers and sub-contractors,
who had been in the habit of exploit
ing the workers to the very marrow
of their bones, the Union was thorn
in the flesh. In their frantic effort
to weaken or destroy the Union they
shrank from no baseness or perfidy.
They sought to spread discussions
without the ranks of the organized
workers, they plotted and intrigued
against the union, and finally they or
gained a choice collection of profess
sional thugs and convicted criminals
into an incorporated scab agency mas
querading under the guise of a labor
union and stealing the name of our
organization. But all attempts recoil-
ed against the solid wall of working
class solidarity. In the days of stress
and suffering and struggle the work
ers in the garment industry had learn
ed to value their union, the source of
all their hope and strength, and they
stuck to it. Then the foes of our or
ganization planned and executed their
last and most dastardly assault upon
the union. They framed up the
charge of murder against a leader
who had been chiefly instrumental in
building up our union and had him
jailed. BY this act they hope to Grip
pie the organization and to spread
Generalization in its ranks. The blow
is aimed not only against the Cloak
makers union but against all labor
unions generally and the unions in
the needle trade particularly. For
the Cloakmakers' union is the back
bone of the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union and the inspir-
ing example of its struggles and its
victories has led all other garment
workers of the country. on the path of
organization and solidarity
The perfdious attempt on the part
of our enemies must and will be frus-
trated. Already the Cloakmakers' IN
| ion and the International Ladies' Gar
ment Workers union have made ar
rangements to secure the best avail
able legal talent for the defense of
the accused. No work and no ex-
pense will be spared to clear them of
the dastardly charges and to nail their
perjurious accusers to the pillory OF
shame and public contempt All gar
ment workers and all organized work
ers generally must rally to the defense
of the accused and of the union.

class struggle.


Until recent years the workers in
the garment industry were pitiable,
miserable lot. They were herded in
filthy, disease-breeding sweatshops,
overworked, underpaid and subjected
to merciless exploitation At last the
limit of endurance of even these most
patient and passive toilers was reach
ed. In the summer of 1910 fifty thou
sand men and women employed in
the cloak industry in the City of New
York rose in spontaneous revolt
against their Mhuman conditions of
labor. They struck, and their strike
was one of the most notable struggles
in the labor movement of this country.
For ten long weeks the half-starved
workers held out against their organi-
zed and powerful employers with de
termination and enthusiasm and with
out break in their ranks. The strike
was won, and substantial improve
ments were made in the wages, hours
of labor and sanitary conditions. But
the most important and lasting ach-
ievement of the strike was the organ
ization Of the powerful Cloakmakers'
Union. Comprised of fifty thousand

branches of the trade and imbued
