ASLEEP
PRISONERS ESCAPE

Atlanta, March 14.-W. H.
Brown, an amature deputy, who
was especially sworn in to go to
Cincinnati and bring back to
auto robbers, went to sleep on
the job on the train near Paris
Kentucky, while his two prison
ers were safely handcuffed to-
gether, as he thought, and as a
result woke up in Atlanta today
without his prisoners.
The two youths who escaped
are Walter and Carl Burdett, and
as the result of Browns lack of
vigilance, the Atlanta police, who
traced. them to Cincinnati, will
have to begin their capture all
over again.
The conductor on the train saw
the two boys stepping off at a
way station, but did not realize
that they were the prisoners.
They had managed to un-hand-
cuff themselves before leaving
the train, he said.

he suggested that he would have

picions of the proprietor were
eroused, and the real police were
sent for.

ON
THE FRANK CASE

Atlanta, Mach 16.-Leadine
Protestant ministers of Atlanta are
joining in the appeal to public
sentiment for fair trial for Leo
M. Frank, not orly for the sake
Of Frank, they declare, but that
Georgia's reputation for fair deal
ing be preserved before the world.
Several of the most prominent
and conservative members of the
local clergy discussed the question
from the pulpits yesterday, and a
number of cards have been written
to the papers.
Of the supreme court decision
refusing new trial, Rev. DR.. G.
b. Wilmer of St. Luke's church.
says, cit is not in conflict with our
duty to respect this decision, to
say that it was a decision and that
legal decisions, that is on points
of law . do not always go to the
bottom of the moral questions in
volved, or even profess to do So"
Dr.. Winners views in this re.
gard may be said to fairly re pre-
sent that of the other ministers
who have discussed the case. They
are not criticizing the action of
the supreme court but they are
asserting that nothing but new
trial can give Leo Frank justice.
II have arrived at a double con-
clusion." said DR.. Wines, "that
Frank should have new trial.
and that those who think SO should
say SO publicly.
"Lookirg at the matter from
the moral point of view, it seems
to me that there should be trial
of this case conducted in what one
might call a more judicial atfgos-
phere; especially in view or tue
fact that the trial judge himself
was not convinced either way.
Then there is another reason
in favor of a new trial, which |
beg to mention without at all de
string to argue the case. To men
ton but one thing, l refer to the
point made by Mr.. Alexander in
his pamphlet analyzing the note
written admittedly by Conley, that
it is exceedingly improbable that
this note, so full OF negro super
stitution should have been dictated
by a white man. This point was
not brought to the attention of the
jury, and is certainly worth con-
sidering."
DR.. A. R. Holderby, pastor of
Moore Memorial Presbyterian
church, in discussing the case,
said, II am not affirming that
Frank is innocent or guilty, but
simply that he hasn't had a fair and |
unprejudiced trial. In the name
of God let us give the fellow a fair
chance to prove his innocence, and
thus save the state of Georgia from
'bloodguiltiness'."

Collecting Specimens
for National Museum

+. w. Nelson, assistant chief OF
the bureau OF biological survey, spent
all of Friday in Carson in consulta-
ton with Senator George T. Mills,
chairman of the State Fish commls-
sion. Mr.. Nelson's visit to Nevada
is for the purpose of preparing the
way and collecting data for the us,
of expeditions which will be sent
through the state by his bureau for
the purpose of collecting valuable
specimens of the larger mammals
representative of the wild life in the
western section of the country, now
rapidly becoming extinct. These
specimens, which it is hoped will IN
clude the mountain sheep, antelope
and other OF the larger animals, will
be placed in the National museum in
Washington, to remain permanently.
Mr.. Nelson says that at present three
is not a single specimen of the larger
nammall indigenous to this section
in any eastern scientific museum.
Mr.. Nelson was asked particularly
what has been the result to date of
the enforcement of the recently en-
acted federal law for the protection
of migratory birds. The enforcement
Of this law is under the direction IF
the Bureau of Biological survey,
which is bureau of the Department
of Agriculture. He said that although
this law has been in force only a
little more than year, the results
already apparent were satisfactory
He says that in all sections of the
country the water fowl, particularly
are returning to their former breei-
ing places, the result being a wider
distribution of game and largely
increased number of fowl in all parts
of the Uni7ed States. He said it was
gratifying to observe that much of
the popular opposition to the law
when it was first announced that an
effort would be made to enforce its
provisions has been overcome All
opposition will disappear, he predicts,
as soon as sportsmen discover the
advantage which will follow a cheer
full compliance with the reasonable
! terms OF the law.

Following is the third section OF
Senator Newlands' address, delivered
at the Democratic meeting held IN
this city last Wednesday evening"
Effect Upon Industry
A partial slowing down did occur
in the manufacturing industries OF
the country; more as a result of a
state of mind or as the president de-
clared, OF psychological condition
than of actualities. Apprehension is
oftentimes as dangerous as the real
ity. Men have died from fear of dy-
ing. And so it was with the tariff.
A state of mind seized the manufac-
turers of the country and they slowed
up their enterprises waiting to see
what action foreign manufacturers
would take with reference to the inn
portation Of goods at the lower GUS
toms duties, inspired, by prudence
lest they should overproduce and
iasten upon themselves all the ter
rors OF overproduction. And so IN
dustry slowed up throughout the
country. And the apprehension Great
ed among the bankers by the chan &c
in the banking system also had a
psychological effect upon them and
the very bill that was designed 70
loosen credit, and to make credit
most easy at most critical time,
when the manufacturing industry
needed support, that bill became a
cause of alarm and apprehension,
and instead of loosening credit the
bankers commenced to tighten credit,
to heap up the MONEYS in the banks
and TO check their loans throughout
the country; and the inevitable effect
was a restriction of exchange and
when you have a partial paralysis OF
exchange and partial paralysis Of
manufacture you have the conditions
of hard times, and hard times were
upon us; they have been fortunately
averted; the turn has come; but there
is no question that two or three
months ago there was a condition ot
mind i'm the east with reference to
the industries of the country that
threatened to drive the Democratic
party out of power and to deprive II

Denver convention, and the very con-
dition that | predicted at the Balti-
more convention, and the very con-
dition which led those conventions to
put in the plank that l. insisted upon
for the gradual and not an immediate
and radical reduction in the tariff
Now remember, | don't contend for
a moment that that reduction was
too low; on the contrary, said the
bill did not cut low enough; that the
ultimate tariff ought to be lower
one than that fixed in the BILL but my
contention was that we ought to ap-
