Death Sentence of Leo Frank
COMMITTED to Life Imprisonment

arrested charged with the crime,
but who later made an alleged
confession in which fastened the
crime upon Frank. The negro told
several different tales about the al
legged murder, and this, together
with the mob spirit that prevailed
during the trial of Frank, furnish
ed the basis for a legal fight that
went through all the Georgia
courts and finally to the United
States supreme court
All the appeals were taken upon
technical points, asking for a new
trial, but in each instance the
courts held Frank had been legal
ly tried and sentenced and his pc
titions for new trials were denied.
Two weeks ago the petition for
communication to life Imprisonment
was considered by the state board
of pardons and by a vote of two to
one the board refused to recon-
mend clemency to the governor.
Franks last hope of escaping
death upon the gallows was then
placed in the hands of the Georgia
governor. The execution was set
for tomorrow.

SPLENDID SERMONS
BY REV. LARIMORE
Scholarly Minister Charms Large
Audiences With Logical and
Eloquent Discourses.

People who enjoy old-fashion
preaching, unaffected eloquence,
simple yet impressive and beautiful
diction, delivered by a man of
scholarly attachments, rich exper-
fences and charming address, are
being attracted each afternoon and
evening to the big arbor on North
Pruet street where a series of re-
vival services are being held by
Rev. T. B. Larimore of Henderson,
Tenn, under the auspices of the
East Side Christian church.
Rev. Larimore is a most inter
esting character, and while he is
modest and unassuming and seeks
to divert attention from himself,
yet his personality is so charming
and his sincerity so patent that
those who hear his sermons and
study his demeanor cannot resist
as we'll as to enjoy his discourses.
Though seventy-two years Of age,
he has the appearance of a man
of not more than sixty. His voice
is strong and deep, yet modulated
to a degree that makes it most
pleasant. His articulation is so
distinct that one can easily under
stand every word he utters. His
speech is slow but graceful, and
is freighted with an earnestness
that makes a profound impression
upon his hearers
The minister is an old time
southerner. 1t is said he served
under General Joe Wheeler during
the Civil war. He began preach
ing when he was twenty-five years
of age and for more than half a
century he has devoted his time
and talent to writing, preaching
and teaching. For a number of
years he headed an institution of
learning at Mars Hill, Ala, and it
IS said he made the school one of
he most noted in Alabama. He
S the author of a number of wide
ly read books, among them being
an edition containing many of mis-
best sermons. He is a native of
Tennessee, his birthplace being
near Knoxville.
His familiarity with the Bible
seems to know no bounds. His
sermon last night was devoted al
most exclusively to quotations on
obedience" He began with Cen
esis and for forty-five minutes he
ran hurriedly through all the
books in the Old and New Testa-
ments, concluding with quotations
from the last chapter of Revela-
lions, reciting quotations on the
necessity of obedience to the di-
vine will and ordinances in order
hat souls may be saved. Accom-
panying each quotation the minis
ter gave the chapter and verse in
the Bible where the language quot
ed may be found.
On Wednesday night he preached
on Paul's wonderful sermon deliv-
ed before King Agrippa and Gov
ernor Festus. This discourse is
considered by many to have been
the most powerful sermon the elo-
quent and learned minister has
delivered in Paragould during this
series of meetings.
The services each afternoon and
evening are being we'll attended
and the interest manifested is
growing daily. At the close of
each sermon from one to three per-
sons make confessions.

REPUBLICANS TO MEET

Chairman George A. Day of the
Republican state committee has in
vited the members of that commit
tee to meet in Boise, July z, for the
purpose of electing new officials
and laying the preliminary plans for
the campaign OF 1915.
1t has been the prevailing impress
sion tn political circles for some
time past that Chairman Day would
retire at this meeting and that some
other party leader would be desig-
mated to take his place. 1t is also
the impression that Will H. Gibson
will retire from the office of sec
retary and that a new secretary
would be chosen. Nothing definite
will be known about any Of those
matters until the committee meets
and acts.
There is already much speculation
rs to the new chairman if a change
is to be made. Monte B. Gwinn
and Shad L. Hodgin of Boise are
often mentioned Charles l.. Hoffman
of Rathdrum is also much discussed.
e. H. Dewey of Nampa is urged in
some quarters and Evan Evans of
Grangeville has been nominated by
influential Republicans in that Sec
ton of the state.
The notice sent out to members
of the committee by Chairman Day
was as follows:
Dear Sir: | am inclosing you here
with formal notice of a special
meeting of the Republican state CEN
trail committee, which is to be held
at the time and place indicated.
1t is expected that there will be
business of great Importance to the
party to be transacted at this meet
Ing, and you are especially urged
to be present in person. In the event
that you cannot so attend, then you
are urged either to secure the at
tendance of someone from your coun-
~ DIS your representative, or to send |
your proxy to some good live Repub-
llcan, who will be in position to at
Tend. We desire every county repre-
sented if possible in order that we
may have an expression of the full
committee.
For your convenience, l inclose
herewith blank proxy for your use
In one of the manners indicated
above, if it should happen that you
cannot be with us in person.

QUARTERLY PAY is THE EDIcT

| County officials must await the
constitutional limit of three months
in which to draw their salaries. I'm
der the law county officials can
not draw their pay monthly because
of the fact that the board of coun.
lty commissioners meet only quar-
terly and to change this particular
provision would result in confusion.
The supreme court in passing on a
case sent up from Owyhee county
upholds the constitutional provision
and in the decision says:
ut is earnestly urged that the PEI
pie of Idaho are upon a different
basis now than they were when the
constitution was adopted and amend
ed as hereinbefore set forth; that
while some years ago business in
this state was conducted upon terms
of extended credit, now it is upon
cash basis, or current bills as paid
from month to month, and that pay
ment of county officers quarterly in
stead of monthly will result in great
inconvenience We are fully aware of
the soundness of the contention and
of the regretable inconvenience
which will follow upon our con-
struction of this section of the con-
stitution. but we are not unmindful
that if the constitution is to be
amended it must be done by the
joint act of the legislature and the
people themselves and that it can
not be accomplished by judicial con-
stTuction."
The decision was written by JUS
tice Morgan. Chief Justice Sullivan
and Justice Bulge concurred.

CALLING ON AMERICA.
"For | was an Hungered and 4e

|
Gave Me Meat"
America has heard the call OF a
void in distress and never before
mas there been such vast 'outpour
ing of charity as that which has
helped to save the unfortunate Bel
eians from starvation and is mitigat
i1e the horrors of the great war IN
other lands. Vast as has been the
response to the cry for help from
the war stricken countries of Europe
it seems infinitesimal beside the ire
mendous necessities. A recent state
ment issued by the American Com
missioner for relief in Belgium show
that 100000 worth of foodstuffs
has been delivered in that country
since the inception of the commits
sioner's work and 100000 addi-
tional is now on it's way to the strict
en- country or stored for shipment
as soon as possible Servia is in
desperate straits and insistant ap-
peals are being made to the gener-
osity of Americans in behalf of this
heroic little nation. Not only star
walton but epidemics of the most
dreaded diseases are to be combat
ted throughout the country. Rus
sian Poland, where millions of non
combatants are starving and home
less, is also crying for help. Condl-
lions in Galicia are equally bad
and the difficulties of rendering as
sistance are even greater. Private
charity in America has been respon-
sive to all these appeals, and it
may be added that private charity
is also doing something for the des-
titute in Mexico as thousands of
homeless refugees along the north
ern border are being fed by gener-
Gus ericans.-Y oumen Shield.
