NO FARM LIFE SCHOOL.
fBryson City Times

The Farm Life School election,
which was to be Held at the voting
precincts in Nantahala and Forneys
Creek townships, on Saturday, May
9Th. has been called off. This action
was taken because it was thought the
question had not been sufficiently dis
cussed to be thoroughly understood
by all. And again, there was some
opposition to the measure because it
only took in two townships, the op1n-
ion being held by some that it should
be county affair.

IN FAVOR OF LOCAL OPTION
PRESIDENT WILSON WILL STAND
ON LETTER WRITTEN IN 1911.
He Does Not Think the Liquor Cues
ton Should be Made Part Of
the Party Platform.

Washington, April s. - President
Wilson is in favor of local option on
the liquor question and does not be-
lieve prohibition should be made a
part of a party program. Since the
order of Secretary Daniels was issued
prohibiting the use of liquor by Off
GERS in the navy, persons in posi-
ton to obtain the presidents views
have learned that he will stand by
his letter written in May, 1911, while
governor of New Jersey, to the Rev
Thomas B. Shannon, of Newark, N
D., in which he said:
II am in favor of local option.
am thorough believer in local self
government and believe that every
self-governing community, which con
stitutes a social unit should have the
right to control the matter of the
regulation or the Withholding of Ii
censes.
But the questions involved are so
cial and moral and are not suscepti
BILE of being made parts of a party
program"

THE FOUR GUNNER MUST Die
GOVERNOR REFUSES TO COM
MUTE THEIR SENTENCES.
New York Executive Denies Reprieve
to Murderers of Herman Ros-
enthali, the Gambler.

Albany. n. Y, April S.-G0vernOr
Glynn last night refused to commute
the death sentence OF the four gun
men convicted OF Staying Herman
Rosenthal, the New York gambler, or
to grant them a reprieve until after
the second trial of former Police
Lieutenant Charles Becker. They
must die by electrocution some time
next week, probably Monday. The
court of appeals, in denying their mo
ton for a new trial set the week Of
April 13 as the time for their exeeu
ton. The exact date Is fixed by the
warden of Sing Sing prison.
1T would have been miscarriage
of justice to have granted commute
ton or an improper exercise of exec
utive power to have granted re-
prieVe," the governor said in a state
ment The case Of the four gunner
does not depend in the least on the
result of the Becker case" he COntin'
ued and no evidence has been offer
ed tending to show that there is
any reasonable probability of any
thing developing in the second Beck
er trial which would change the result
reached, in the gunmen's case.
The full names AMI mechanics OF
the condemned men are: Frank Giro
tici C"Dago Frank'O, Harry Horowit2
("Gyp, the Blood'D, Louis Rosenberg
C"Lefty Louie'O and Jacob Seidensh
uer c'Whitey Lewis"D.
Included in the governors state
ment were the texts of letters he re
Ceived from Supreme Court Justice
| Golf and District Attorney Whitman
who acted in the case. Both mel
strongly opposed the granting of re
prieve. The district attorney declar
ed that ito delay or prevent the exc
cution of the just judgment of the
law against them would" in his opin
ion. tend to destroy the sense of Sc
curity which every law-abidng either
should feel"
The justice declared there was nc
doubt as to the prisoners guilt.
