''Six weeks ago this committee was
asked to make an investigation of
whether the Automatic Co. has 20
900 subscribers. Three times since
then this committee has made that
business a special order for the next
meeting. The motion of AID Long
to adjourn is unfair to the people who
are crowding this room now, who
came here expecting action. We have
to work for living, most Of us, and
we can't come down here week after
week while you gentlemen delay. We
have never asked for delay. The first
time the proposition came up it was
put off week on request of Attor-
ney Ettelson to prepare a statement
of the Automatic's side of the case.
We are here today to show that the
Automatic directory is bogus. They
haven't 10000 subscribers, and if the
English in the franchise means any,
thing the franchise and property
are forfeited"
Wild produced an Automatic direc-
tory and said check by the Penny
Phone League up to date shows 1000
of the $4,000 subscribers listed in the
book have been Cancelled. The evil
dence so far is that the company
never had over 10000 bona fide sub
scribers, he said.

PENNY. PHONE LEAGUERs YELL
1--WE WANT ACTION!"

Penny Phone LeaguerS stood up
and yelled 1--WE want actionw at the
Council Committee on Gas, Oil and
Electric Lights meeting yesterday.
Aid. Long moved to adjourn. 1t
was the fourth time in six weeks Aid.
Long tried to stall off action. Morton
L. Johnson, president of the Penny
Phone League, and Horace B. Wild,
secretary, and others took. the floor
and yelled challenges of the action,
and set up disorder that got hear
ing for what the league wants. The
committee directed:
That the corporation counsel shall
give an opinion at the next meeting
of the committee of whether the for
fixture clause in the Automatic's
franchise means that the city can
take over the automatic system in
the event that the company has not
got 10000 subscribers.
That the Penny Phone League sub
NIT brief on what the law says in
favor of their proposition.
Dan Schuyler, attorney for the ILL
nois Telegraph & Tunnel Co., read an
opinion that it doesn't make any diff
ference whether the company has
less than 10000 subscribers, that if it
has equipment for serving that num-
Der and is willing then it's franchise
and property is not forfeited.
you can't stall any longer on
this" Were going to have action or
we'll know why" you can't get
away with this were the yells that
followed Aid. Longs quick motion to
adjourn. The room was crowded
with people who had been waiting
from 2 O'Clock till for the committee
to reach the Automatic proposition.
Their yells hit Aid. Long. His face
turned red, and he retorted to John
son and Wild: 81 won't be howled
down by a bunch Of coyotes" He
pointed at Wild and said: "This man
has no sense at all. He has no right
to be heard"

The press and BrOHSSdrd.

Ex-Representative Liable complains bit
terly in letter to the Times-Picayune OF
the disposition of the Press of the State to
interfere with political affairs in the Third
district. The letter was inspired by the
general attack made on Mr.. Broussard by
the state papers growing out of the Sena-
tors failure to assist in the democratic cam
paign in that district. Mr.. Liable seems to
forget that Mr.. Broussard holds his Office as
result of democratic votes cast for him by
the voters from the state at large and that
as senator Mr. Broussard is not repre-
sentative from the Third District alone.
MIR. Broussard has been recognized as
the strongest political factor in the Third
District and it was known that his assistance
there in the last campaign would have been
most valuable to the party. Notwithstand-
iny he absented himself from the district
Until the very eve of the election. Tie
Press of the state accepted his action as an
open defy to the members of his party and
as con:emptious casting aside of party
discipline. 1t required no prompting on the
part of any body to arouse the democratic
Press against him; and it seems certain that
the campaign thus started against him, will
be, sooner or later, brought to successful
conclusion.

Probe Commission at Work.

The legislative probe commission has
commenced an investigation of the sale of
bonds by the state Two days have been
spent in the examination of witnesses, CON-
posed of state officers and prominent bank
ers. About the only result so far achieved
is the dispelling of any Authorization that
might have existed that the bankers were in
the deal for their health. No one of reason
able perception ever thought that the state
bankers would out the matter through with
out healthy rake off. A profit on the
purchase was their due and they violated no
law when they held the state up for every
thing possible. That they made combi-
nation to disparage the states credit and to
depress the value of the bonds is to be re-
GREETED, but they were strictly within the
law and their rights and the only thing that
the commission can do is to advertise to the
world their want of public-spiritedness.
Governor Hall started out with the idea that
he was strong enough to prevent the bank
ers, as he put it from sand-bagging him. "
He simply tackled a job that was to much
for him. The report of the commission will
no doubt show that he acted with fairly
good judgment, but that the bankers acted
with better judgment. About the only
money that the state can save in the pre-
misses will be that saved by cutting short the
investigation of the committee. The public
will feel but little interest in the effort of
the politicians concerned to air their grievan-
ces or to advance their political interests

Frank Case.

Mr.. Justice Holmes of the United States
Supreme Court in passing on the case of Leo
M. Frank the Atlanta factory man convicted
of the murder of Mary Phagan said that he
seriously doubted if Frank had been convic-
ted by due process Of law for the reason that
the trial had taken place in the presence of
a hostile demonstration and a seemingly
dangerous crowd.
The question presented is one that
should have serious consideration. There is
a growing tendency to convict persons under
serious charges with needless haste in order
to appease public clamor and prevent lynch
ings. In fact it is common practice now
to call special terms of court in order to hand
out what is called swift justice. The public
feeling already excited is intensified by such
action.
Short shift is given the accused and the
Press and public acclaim the fact that the
law had been indicated. 1t must be admit
ted that in nearly all cases the verdict is
proper and inherited, but the trouble lies in the
fact that vengeance rather than Justice has
been the motive behind public clamor.
Under such conditions it requires officers of
unusal determination to deal fairly with the
offender, They become subject to the in
tiuence OF public opinion and feel it theirfull
duty to aid in conviction.
=, Lynch law is far better than any system
that is productive of such abuse. JUDGES
should insist that criminals be tried id an
orderly way; in regular turn and given the
benefit OF every provision of law made to
protect them from an excited populace.
Justice Holmes has touched a kew note
that Louisianaians will do well to consider
in view of some criminals trials that have
been expeditiuosly if not hastily conducted in
