j. s. INSISTS ON
DUE POWER IN
SEA TREATY
Special Gable to The Atlanta Georgian.

LONDON, Jan, 12.-Senator j.
Hamilton Lewis, recently appointed
vice chairman of the committee
which is drawing up a treaty to be
passed upon by the delegates to the
International Conference on Safety at
Sea, now in session in LONDON, to- day
told the Hearst papers:
The leaders of the conference now
realize for the first time that the
American delegation will not consent
TO the placing of anything in the
treaty which would prevent the
United States from enforcing the full
powers of the treaty. 1t seems to be
the idea here that if a British cap
tain violates a provision of the treaty
while in an American port he is an
swerable to British court only. Ny
colleagues and myself have deter
mined to see that the treaty will be
SO drawn that 1t will give the United
States jurisdiction over all who evade
its provisions. 1t looks now as though
there would be a fight before we gain
our point.
81 believe that bright prospects are
In store for the United States. The
currency and tariff bills will be the
means of putting the country on a
basis of secure prosperity which will
be founded on actual development AMI
not speculation. We now face an era
of greater prosperity than we have
enjoyed since the war between the
States.
Il watched with great interest the
activities of Mr.. Hearst during the
Mendil Bells trial, and consider his
work at Kieff one of the factors in the
gratifying result. In view of all Mr.
Hearst has done in recent years,
want to say that whatever differences
any man may have with the political
policies of Mr.. Hearst, they must all
be waived when 1t comes to the con-
sideration of him as a humanitarian
In the cause of humanity to man and
justice to nations Mr.. Hearst has be-
come a world bel efactor"

Judge Ben Hill Monday afternoon
imposed the death penalty upon three
negroes Robert Paschall and George
and William Hart, convicted OF the
brutal murder of Mrs. Seth lrby, OF
jefferson County.

cold blooded in all his experience on
the bench. The negroes will be
hanged in the Fulton County jail

and o'clock.

for the defense were the negroes
themselves, who made statements to
the court denying any part in the
crime. The jury went out at 3: 10,

20 minutes later.
Principal Witnesses.
Jailer Plunkett, of Augusta, where
the prisoners were secreted for some
time, and Bailiff Whittle, q: the JEFF
ferson County Superior Court, were

prosecution.
Fear Of lynching by the Infatuated
residents of jefferson County led to
a spectacular cross country trip by
automobile in which the three pris-
oners, none of them over 20 years of
age, were safely brought to Atlanta.
Feeling was so high there that 1t later
was decided to hold the trial in At
lanta.
County officials on the witness
stand told of obtaining confessions
from each of the defendants after
their arrest. George Hart was said
to have broken down first and re-
lated a story of revolving brutality.
after attacking the woman, they kill
ed her by crushing in her skull with
an axe.

Tense to discredit the alleged con-
LESSONS by showing that they had
been obtained improperly
Representing the three negroes, by
appointment, were w. l.. Phillips, J.
K. Phillips, Frank Hardeman, r. G.

was represented by Solicitor r. Lee
