THE PROGRESSIVES
NAME PLATFORM
Believe That Georgia and the South
Should Have Strong Second Party.
Putting Candidates in Field.

LANTA.-Declaring their be-
lief that Georgia and the South ought
to have a strong second party, COM
mitted at the outset to the preserva-
ton of white supremacy, the progress
sives of this state have announced
their platform and are putting can
didates in the field.
They have already announced c..
w. Mcclure for the long term and
G. r. Hutchens for the short term in
the United States senate, and through
James L. Sibley, chairman of the
general platform committee, have an
nounced their policies in substance
as follows:
They condemn the failure of the
federal government and the party in
power to relieve financial conditions
in the South.
They favor a measure a ong the
lines of the Henry bill to give hard
pressed producers reasonable adj
vances at moderate interest.
They favor the submitting of a
constitutional amendment on prohi-
hibition to the people and declare it
wrong for a prohibition state to be
represented by a man connected with
the liquor interests.
They deplore the failure of the
present administration to provide an
efficient system of separate rural
credits, calling attention to the fact
that in failing to do so the party has
violated it's national platform
pledges.
They favor free school books.
They favor all parties having pri-
maries on a common day, supervised
and paid for by the state. And they
favor the Australian ballot for gen.
eral elections.

MERELY BELIEVES
FRANK INNOCENT
Negro COnleys Lawyer Offers No
New Evidence That Condemned
Man Is Not Guilty.

ATLANTA.-Jnterest in the cele
brated Leo Frank murder case, for
gotten since the European war ah-
sorbed the front pages, has been
revived by the declaration of Jin
Conley's lawyer, William NJ. Smith,
that he believes his negro client gull
ty and Frank innocent. Yet there
are many Atlantans who would not
believe Frank innocent if a dozen
negroes were to swear to their own
guilt, and the lawyers statement is
not serving to sway sentiment to any
great extent. He does not offer any
proof of his clients guilt other than
that already brought out, and states
that Conley did not confess to the
crime.
Even if it could be established that
Conley was the actual murderer of
little Mary Phagan the case would
offer several problems to the courts.
Conley has been tried and acquitted,
or rather convicted only as an acces-
sorry after the fact, and lawyers say
he cannot be tried again, even if he
we're to confess. On the other hand,
Frank has been convicted and SEN
fenced and could be freed only by a
new trial, hitherto denied him, or by
pardon for a crime which he did
not commit.

Effects of Gas on the System

ATLANTA.-G. w. Roberts Of Nell
son, Ga, knows considerably more
about gas and its effects on the sys-
tenn today than he did yesterday. He
came to Atlanta as a witness in the
federal court, and engaged room
in the Williams house. He found the
gas light would not blow out, so he
put his finger over the jet and that
extinguished the fame very nicely.
When the doctors got through US

Roberts sat up in bed at Grady Hos
pital and insisted that he desired to
die, as that was Gods will. However,
the doctors kept on until they had
put him on his feet, very sick and

CHARGES SLAVERY IN PHILIPPINES
Amendment Prohibiting Servitude i'm
the Archipelago Is Adopted by
United States Congress.

WASHINGTON D. C.-Charges
that slavery is practiced in the Phil
ippine archipelago, despite legisla-
ton by the Philippine assembly to
check it, were made in the house
today during debate on the Jones
Philippine bill, which occupied repre-
sentatives virtually the entire day.
An amendment by Representative
Cooper finally was adopted declaring
that Slavery shall not exist in the
Philippine Islands nor shall involun-
tary servitude exist therein except as
a punishment for crime"
Other amendments adopted pro-
hibit plural marriages and provide
that civil and political rights in the
islands shall not rest upon any relig-
ious test. They also prohibit the use
of public funds or property for relig-
ious instructions or for instructors.

SLATON AGAIN BLANES CONGRESS
Cotton Planters Must Work Out Own
Problem, Says Executive Upon
Return From Washington.

ATLANTA. -Governor Slaton re-
turned this morning from Washing
ton. where he went to attend the cot
ton conference. He expressed the
view that the cotton producers of the
South can expect no aid from con-
gress.
THE farmers must work out their
own problem, so far as congress is
concerned" Governor Slaton said.
Congress will adjourn. fear with
in the next few days without having
passed any legislation at all on the
cotton situation. The palpable effort
in Washington to shift the burden to
the cotton growing states will fail.
The states could not effect legislation
even if their constitutions would per-
NIT them in time to save the situa-
ton. In New York I found a friend
" feeling to the cotton growers, and
everyone there saw wants to assist
us in every way possible. New York
locks upon the problem as a national
one, and, believe, may be counted
upon to do what it can"

cit was only when the troops were
pouring across in fancied security
that dozens of Russians guns cleverly
screened opened their concentrated
fire on the crowded bridges. Before
the blast of shrapnel and machine
gun projectiles the Germans were
swept into the river by hundreds.
Speedily, however, the challenge of
the Russian guns was taken up by
the German artillery and for long
time the duel continued.
cat last the Germans. thinking
they had got the measure of the Rus

to throw their troops across. But
this time also they had no better luck

stepped upon the bridges either
reached the opposite shore or re-
turned.

Germans vigorously maintained their

Columns in close formation were

FOR PEACE IN EUROPE
ANOTHER STEP TAKEN
SECRETARY OF STATE BRYAN
NEGOTIATING NEW TREATY
WITH GERMANY.
MAY Be THE OPENING WEDGE
Treaty Would Commit German Gov
eminent to Recognition of PrOpFi-
ETY. of Dealing With international
Issues By Peaceful Means.

Issues BY Peaceful Means.
WASHINGTON, D. C.-The con-
ference of Count Won Bernstorff, the
German ambassador, with Secretary
Bryan today aroused much specula-
ton here tonight as to the possibility
of further efforts having been set in
motion by the administration to
bring about peace in Europe.
Neither the secretary nor the am
bassador would discuss the purpose
of the visit, although it is known that
the diplomat made a special trip from
New York in response to a telegraph
ic request sent by Mr.. Bryan. He
left the secretary's room in the state
department, after a brief half-hour's
visit, burdened with copies of peace
commission treaties negotiated by
Mr.. Bryan with various countries and
is understood to have been asked to
forward these promptly to Berlin.
Discussed only 1reatleS.
The treaties are typical of all the
peace conventions upon which Mr..
Bryan has been at work, although
they differ somewhat in detail. There
was every reason to believe that the
was confined entirely to
discussion of these various treaties
and that the European war was men
toned only in passing, if at all.
1t was regarded here as significant
that Secretary Bryan should under
take negotiations looking to the in
clusion of Germany among the ma
lions with whom the United States
has made peace conventions at this
time. Such a treaty would commit
the German government to a recog-
milton of the propriety and reasona-
bleness Of dealing with international
issues by peaceful means, it was
pointed out, and the suggestion was
not lacking tonight that an underly-
ing motive for the administration
effort might be the desire to smooth
the way at this moment for the con-
ference that must in the end, termi-
nate the war in Europe.
May Open the Way.
Negotiations of a similar nature al
ready have been opened with Japan.
1t was agreed here tonight that
should both Japan and Germany sign
peace treaties with the United States,
joining the great array of powers al
ready bound by such agreements, the
way would be opened for the next
step, an invitation to these powers
to regard peace treaties originally
negotiated between each of them and
the United States as binding upon
them generally with respect to each
other.
Although the project can be- re-
garded as yet as scarcely having pass
ed the stage of speculation negotia-
tions with Germany and Japan will
be watched by officials here with clos
est interest because of their possible
bearing upon the broader questions
Of the restoration of peace in Europe
and the extension of the peace treaty
plan to the relations of all nations
with each other.

bankers was ratified here today by a

at must be distinctly understood. "
declared Fetus j. Wade, chairman of
the st. Louis Clearing House Associa-
ton and originator of the plan, that
this is not a movement for the pur-
chase of cotton. 1t is simply move
ment to make available a fund of
$3.50, 100000 to loan on cotton at not
to exceed cents a pound, middling
basis.
1.-THE establishment of this fund
will make the cotton crop a liquid
asset, stabilize it's price and bring
about normal conditions in all lines

The amount to be raised by each
financial center will be apportioned
by the committee at a meeting to be
held within the next few days, pro-
viding the general plan meets the
of the secretary of the
treasury and the federal reserve
board.
Two weeks ago Mr.. Wade called a
conference of the heads of nine st.
Louis mercantile houses and banks
and submitted to them his plan for
raising a fund of 100000 to
loan in the cotton states and cotton
manufacturing centers. The plan
then was submitted to Secretary Nc
Adoo and to the federal reserve
board.
The Southern bankers were invited
to come to St. Louis to discuss the
plan. After an a1l-day session they
sent from st. Louis the following tel
egram to Secretary McAdoo:
McAdOo Is Advised.
THE plan, as laid before you and
the federal reserve board on Fri
day last to endeavor to raise cot
ton loan of one hundred and fifty
million dollars today was submitted
to the undersigned. After careful
the following resolu-
tion was passed unanimously:
g That the plan outlined by Mr..
Festus J. Wade, in general essence,
be adopted, and the details worked
out later. 1t is believed the South
will subscribe its proportion as sug-
gested and outlined"
Persons intimate with the progress
of the plan declared tonight that
Secretary McAdoo and the federal re-
serve board were merely Withholding
official approval of the plan until the
Southern bankers had been heard
from. The proposed pool would f.
nance the movement of five million
bales on a margin above the estimat-
ed surplus cotton.

THE REAL REASONS
From the New York Sunl

From the New York Sum
In his address upon the Mexican sit

President Taft in accounting for the
awaken general popular enthusiasm"
said that it might be due to a growing
love of peace as well as to the absence
of those soul stirring issues which
arouse warlike enthusiasm"
Our impression is that whether the
love of peace for its own sake is grow
ing among the American people or
not-and we hope that it is-the rea>
sons they. lack enthusiasm for war
with Mexico are practical and not in
the least sentimental or idealistic
Those reasons may be briefly stated.
The American people have always be-
lived that the policy of non-interven-
ton was fundamentally sound, and that
there should never have been a de-
parture from it, They are of the opin-
ion that moral issue should not have
been made out of General Huertas ac-
cession to the Presidency, and that Mr.
Wilson would have been in a much
stronger position If he had cited the
Diaz precedent of 1877, and given
ment and qualify for recognition, if he
could; The American people are aware
that Mr.. Wilson has not adhered to his
policy of non-intervention in a spirit
of strict neutrality, but has given
countenance and aid to the Constitu-
tionalists and has permitted friendly
negotiations with General Carranza

house when outrages upon American
citizens in Mexico were borne with
diplomatic philosophy That the occu-
patton of any part of Vera Cruz was
an act of war Americans generally be-
lieve, and they do not doubt that a sa-
Lutte of the flag at Tampico could have
been obtained from General Huerta.
And finally they do not see how a war
of great sacrifices can be escaped now,
although they have some faint hope of
the success of mediation, to which Mr..
Wilson turned as a last resort
For these reasons the American
people feel no enthusiasm for another
war with Mexico. and there is no soul
stirring" issue in it for them, however
the MeXicans may feel about it as
prospective defenders of their country.
1t may be added that the average Amer
can does not see why the United States
should engage in an altruistic war Of
service to Mexico and MeXicans that
might cost the United States thousands
of the lives of her citizens and would
certainly cost American taxpayers hum
dreds of millions of dollars. when the
country is not in prosperous condi-
tion and needs rest and opportunities
for industrial restoration.
