BETTERMENT OF RURAL SCHOOLS

Beginning MS campaign 10 bet
ter the conditions in rural schools

of Schools l.. L. Benbow has sent
requests to so prominent citizens
of the county to meet in Judge
Chapman's court room tomorrow
AFTERNOON at l o'clock.
Consolidation of school dis.
tricts is Superintendent Benbow'3
proposed solution of country
school troubles. At present there
are 112 school districts in Pierce
county, many of them very small
districts with one-room schools.
On account of the large number
of districts, the school tax can
not be apportioned sufficiently to
enable the smaller schools to live
UP to the state school law de &.
manding manual training, agri-
cultural or domestic science for
eighth grade pupils.
Superintendent Benbow's sta
tistics show that it cost $3.50
per child last year to educate
pupils in the 25 school buildings
of Tacoma, including high school
students, while the average cost
per child in Pierce county per
year was $33.07.
The county superintendent de-
clares that by consolidation of
small districts and n mora eouita

HANGMAN'S MOOSE TAKEN FROM NECK
OF Leo M. FRANK: APPEAL GRANTED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Jus-
tice lamar, of the supreme court,
has granted an appeal from the
refusal of the federal district
court for northern Georgia, to re-
lease ON habeas corpus proceed
ings Lee NJ. Frank, under death
sentence for the murder of Mary
Phagan, a 15-year-Old factory
girl of Atlanta, Ga.
Frank is sentenced to die jan
nary -, but Justice Lamar's ac-
ton effects an indefinite stay Of
execution. Thirty days are given
for filing the record of the pro-
ceedings I'm the lower court. I'M
mediately after that has been
done, the state of Georgia may
ask that the case ne advanced for
hearing and such suggestions are
generally granted, although in
the regular course the case would
not come up for a year and a half.
The entire court will pass On
Franks right to seek release
from custody on a writ of habeas
corpus on the ground that the
trial court in Fulton county,
Georgia, lost jurisdiction over
him by it's failure to have him
present when the jury returned
its verdict of guilty.
Frank May Win.
Should the court decide he was
entitled to ask for the writ, thus
reversing Judge Newman of the
lower court, the case may be re-
manded to the district court for
the taking of evidence In support
of the petition. Should 1t eventu-
ally be held that Frank must be
released from custody, IL is said,
a mooted question may arise as
to the power of the state to In
dict and try him second time.
This was the second time
Franks fate had rested in JUS
tice Lamar's hands. After the
Georgia supreme court had de-
clined to set aside the verdict Of
conviction, Justice Lamar was
asked to issue a writ of error for
the supreme court to review the
case. He declined on the ground
that no federal question was pre-
sented, inasmuch as questions of
procedure were for the states to
decide. Other members of the
court took the same ground.
Application then was made in
the Georgia Federal court for
Franks release on a writ of
habeas corpus. Judge Newman
held the condemned man was not
entitled to the writ and refused
to grant an appeal to the supreme
court from his decision, because
he was unwilling to issue a GER
tificate of probable cause" as re-
quired by a federal statute.
Question Unsettled.
Justice Lamar was then asked
to grant the appeal and issued the
certificate. In announcing his
decision the justice said he had
found that several questions of
federal law, unsettled by the su-
prone court, existed in the case.

for the appeal.
