SENDS PELLAGRA
MEASURE TO HOUSE
Senate Votes $4,000 For Hospital
and Commission, Reconsidering
Former Action.

Columbia, Special to Charleston
News and Courier, Feb. IS.-The
Senate tonight passed the bill by a
vote of 10 to II authorizing the estab-
lishment of a pel8gra hospital and
creating pellagra commission. The
bill carries n~appropriatoin of $25,-
600 Bodybuilding and equipping the
hospital and $4,000 for the commits
sion. The commission is to consist of
three members from the medical pro-
fession, to be named by the executive
committee of the State board of
health. The executive committee of
the State board of health is authori-
zed to establish one hospital or more,
as they may think necessary. The
duty of the commission is to investi.
gate the prevalence, distribution
cause and treatment of pellagra in all
sections of the State. The bill has
gone to the House, as originally draf-
ted.
The Senate last night had adopted
an amendment reducing the appropria
ton to $4,000, but reconsidered that
action tonight and passed the origi-
nal bill as introduced by Senator
Sullivan.
An effort was made to call up the 2
cent rate bill, but in the midst of the
matter Senator Sharpe moved that the
Senate adjourn which motion carried
Senator Clifton in the meantime had
made a motion to continue the bill
until tomorrow.
The Senator killed the bill provid-
ing for an additional Court stenogra-
pher in the 18th circuit.

LEO FRANK ONE STEP
CLOSER TO GALLOWS
State Supreme Court Sustains
Verdict Of Lower Court.
UNMOVED BY THE TIDINGS.
Attorney For Atlanta Man VIII
Not Give Up Fight, 1t is
Understood

Atlanta, Ga. Feb. 17.-Leo M.
Frank under sentence OF death for the
murder of 14.-year-old Mary Phagan
here on April &c OF last year, today
was advanced one step closer to the
gallows' when the Georgia Supreme
Court sustained the verdict of the low
er Court which pronounced him gull
ty. The opinion, written by Justice
Atkinson, also was signed by Justice
Hill, Lumpkin and Evans. A dissent
ing opinion was entered by Chief Jus
| tice Fish and Justice Beck
Although Franks lawyers tonight
would make no statement as to what
steps they would next take it was re-
ported that they have not yet given
up the determined battle which they
have waged for the freedom Of the
young factory superintendent. News
that the highest Court OF the State
had denied him the right to be again
tried failed to shake the iron nerve Of
the condemned man. He received the
tidings quietly, refusing to comment
thereon.
While the Supreme Courts decision
is voluminous the pith of the ruling
is contained in the head note which
says: THE evidence supports the YER
dict and there was no abuse of dis
cretion in refusing a new trial"
DISSENTING OPINION.
| In their dissenting opinion. Chief
Justice Fish and Justice Beck held
that the trial Court erred in admit
! ing the testimony of James Colney
and c. B. Dalton, regarding alleged
acts involving immoral conduct on
/ Franks part toward women prior to
the murder of the Phagan girl. Unless
an extraordinary motion for n new
trial, or some other move in behalf OF
he convicted man is made, Frank will
be resentenced within the next two
weeks. The decision of the Supreme
Court first must be entered as that OF
the trial Court, after which sentence
again may be imposed.
Franks fight for freedom may be
prolonged in a number OF ways, and
tonight it was pointed out that
months may elapse before his fate
| finally is decided. According to Court
officials here it is possible that, in
view of the dissenting opinion of two
Of the six Justices of the Supreme
Court Franks lawyers may move to
reargue the case before that body.
In the event that such action was deni
ed an attempt then probably would
be made to get the case before the
United States Supreme Court on the
ground that Frank has been deprived
Of his liberty without due process of
law. Another course open to Frank
would be to file an extraordinary
motion for a new trial before the
Court in which he was convicted.
Should the Court deny this motion.
an appeal could be taken to the State
resort, it was pointed out. an appeal
Supreme Court AS last could be
made TO the Governor for an extern
sion of Executive clemency.

EXPERIMENTAL FARM.

Amongst the bills passed at the
recent session of the Legislature
is one defeating 800 acres OF
Hope Farm for experimental and
demonstration work, and prOvid-
ing for the transfer Of this trac
TO the National Government. that
these experiments and demon
STATIONS may be conducted under
the direction of the Department
of Agriculture. 1t will be re-
called that lately the sum OF
500, 10000 now available was APP
propriated by Congress to pur-
chase stock and equipt demon
stration farm in Iberia Parish /;
and the selection Of proper site
has been under consideration for
soine time. The action of the
Legislature not only provides the
requisite farm, but permits the
enjoyment Of the entire apprOp-
ration for its development.
Traversed by both the Southern
Pacific and New Iberia & North
.ern Railroads; and of easy ac-
cess by trolley, by the model
road and by Bayou Teche, the
situation is ideal, while the soil,
though fertile and productive,
has become worn by constant cul-
tivation for a century, and Of
fers the best material possible
for demonstrating the posslbili-
ties of this section. Another and
important feature of the work
contemplated, is the scientific
breeding and raising of stock.
This industry, although never
fostered was in years gone by,
permitted to thrive and contrl-
buted a large share to the wealth
of our Parish. The advent OF the
large farms, the greed for more
land and larger crops gradually
narrowed the cattle ranges and
of consequence, the industry
passed away. It's revival on a
higher plane is one Of the most
promising resources Of he State,
and especially Of the erstwhile
sugar section now so sorely strick-
en- and anxiously striving to re-
coup itself. With the aid Of the
State and National Governments,
and with the cooperation Of the
farmer and land owner, a new
era will soon develop and pros
perity will become intrenched
where nature always intended
that it should rule forever. i

DEPLORABLE CRIME COM.
MITTED AT JEANERETTE.

On Wednesday morning be
tween the hour of 2:30 and /:
o'clock a most horrible and
shocking crime was committed
which shocked not only the little
town where it was committed,
but New Iberia as well, the
principals in. the tragedy being
Mr.. and Mrs. J. ID. Bohannan.
Mrs. Bohannan is now anguish
ing behind the bars charged with
murder which will, in all probable
Ky cause her to be sent to the
penitentiary for the remainder
Of her life. The Times Icayune
CT Thursday contained the sub
joined account Of the homicide ::
"The bullet which was from
an old 3S-caliber pistol, was; fired
at close range, entering the left
temple, passing through to the
right, perforated the brain and
lodged in the jawbOne near the
skin.
1T is reported that following
the killing Mrs. BOhannan ca,ied
several persons over The phone,
telling them that Mr.. Bohaman
had been shot. Later, she called
Deputy Sheriff Wattigny. to
whom she surrendered, and was
taken to New Iberia, and put in
jail to await a preliminary trial.
1.-The BOhannans have been res
idents Of Jeanerette for some
time, and are we4I known here
and in the adjoining parishes,
where they have been engaged in
the photograph business for a
humble" of years. Domestic
are said to- have caused
the tragedy. Mrs: Bohannan is
d native Of West Baton Rouge,
her husband is from Illinois.
"Coron(A' Shaw stated later |

r,,c showed no evidence of a
struggle, that the body was found
ying in bed in underclothing,
with light covering over it,
bullet hole in his right tempt :,
blood spattered ON the pillow,
md the eyes closed. There were
10 e-witnesses to the tragedy.
"Mrs. BOhannan is said to-
rave stated that her husband was
lot in bed when she shot him, and
hat after the shooting she placed
lis body in the bed. She has
'etained Alpine & McGowen t.
lefend her.
