COMMON SENSE AND LAW IN
CONFLICT. -.

Again there is presented the diff
cult problem of deciding what should
be done with the man who, after just
condemnation to prison, escapes be-
fore his sentence has been served
goes to some distant place where he
is unknown, AMI there lives an hon
est and successful life until his black
secret is somehow discovered, says the
New York Times.
Such is the case of one Thomas P.
Busbee, a Georgian. He was convict
ed Of robbery and sent to a turpen-
tine camp in Lowndes county for a
five-year term. Good behavior soon
made him "trusty," but one day he
read in newspaper that his S-year-
old boy had been killed by lightning,
and that night he managed to get
away. He went home and attended
the boys funeral, unbetrayed by his
old neighbors, and then he fled to
"a remote lumber district in Missis-
sippi. That was ten years ago. He
was soon able to send for his wife
and surviving children, and in seem
ingly safe isolation the family has
lived since, respected and modestly
prosperous.
Recently the Georgia officials learn
ed where he was, and in the per-
formance of what was doubtless their
legal duty they went after him and
brought him back.
Now Busbee is again in the tur-
pcntine camp among the other Grim
inals, and there he will remain, not
only to serve out the old sentence,
but an addition to it as the penalty
of his evasion.
As enforcement of the law this is
all right, but common sense con-
demns it as cruelt absurdity-a
proceeding much worse than useless.
If the facts are as stated in the
Atlanta papers, and there is nothing
unpiausible in the narrative, the
man must now be bitterly broodine
over what he considers grievance
against his kind, and it will be little
wonder il he changes from good
and useful citizen to an extremely
bad and dangerous one.

FOREIGN SUNDAY
SCHOOLS DISCIISSED


CHICAGO, June 29.-Methods of
training children in the Sunday
school and advancement of Sunday
school work in foreign countries were
the two important subjects to be con-
sidered when the International Sun
day School association resumed its
sessions in Medinah temple today.
Rev. Franklin McElfresh, superinten-
dent of the teachers training depart
ment of the association, outlined to
the delegates nationwide system of
religious training, beginning in the
Sunday school, and standardized, as
far as possible, for use in schools of
all denominations. Bishop James F.
Adkins, of Waynesville, N. c., spoke
on the relation of the Sunday school
to the home and urged the necessity
of home training to supplement the
religious instruction in the Sunday
school.
A series of conferences one for Ital-
ian Sunday school workers, will be
held tonight. The principal meeting
in Medinah temple will be addressed
by Booker T. Washington, who will
speak on the Sunday school and the
negro.
The closing session of the seven
days convention will be held in Me-
dinah temple tomorrow night when

ASSASSINATION OF ARCHDUKE
MAY CHANGE EUROPEAN MAP

VIENNA, Austria Hungary. June
29.-The assassination of Archduke
Ferdinand and wife at Serajevo Sun
day, may change the maj of Europe.
1t is feared that the aged Emperor
Franz Josef will succumb to the
shock. If he does, there will be no
strong man like the slain archduke
to succeed him and it might result
in the separation of Hungary and
Austria.
Martial law has been declared at
Serajevo. Gabrinovics, who threw
the bomb which the archduke escap-
ed and the principal student who
fired the fatal shots, are held. They
deny plot but the authorities insist
they have conclusive evidence of a
conspiracy.
The bodies of the archduke and
his wife have been embaImed and will
probably arrive here tomorrow. EN-
peror Franz Josef hurried here from
his summer palace at Ischl, arriving
this morning. He is careworn and
feeble and it is feared that the hot
weather with the shock will wreck
his health. Ministers Berchtold and
Tisza met him and called a minister
ial conference. Black flags have
been raised on all public buildings.
