MERCER WRITES
Of AKIN'S BILL
SAYS TROUBLE IN GEORGIA is EN-
TIRELY WITH THE LAW
YERS.

The following from Jesse E. Mercer,
formerly state game commissioner,
now administrative assistant biologi-
cal survey, Washington, will be of in
terest:
Washington, June &c, 1915.
Editor News:
| notice from The News of the 25th
that Hon. l.. r. Akin is hte author of
a bill or resolution to look into the
robbery of the State Mutual Life lisur-
iance company by the couf;s in grant
ing large fees to attorneys who ought
to be prosecuted rather than feed.
Some months ago / wrote General VIII
liam A. Wright-honest, conscientious
and capable. / see whore they want
to take insurance work out of his hands
and ! hope they will ho;-asking him
if there was any hope of relief from
the legal robbery.
Our trouble is in a bad system
the lawyer blight" hwyers domi-
nate legislative commit IS ana thus
practically control legis ION. They
administer the law. The courts-law-
yers-give to other lawye 8 practicing
in their court q sort of fraternal re
Spouse to their prayers" for fees. It
would be at least unethical to couple
modesty and economy with the sug-
gestion of a fee out of other peoples
money-to a brother lawyer.
The lawyers and the courts in Geor-
gia are as far from wrongdoing and
conspiring as the lawyers and courts
of any other country but the system,
giving them a free hand in many in
stances, is bad
OF the five or six thousand lawyers
in Atlanta possibly a thousand are
making above office rent-and if the
courts do not help out the very acute
situation it is at least unethical.
Many petitions in bankruptcy and
| for receivers have no other excuse or
! higher purpose than the very fat fee
| that, under the present system, is
sure to come to the petitioning attorn-
| ey. Whatever else may happen, to
/ stakeholder, creditor, or pauper party
to the suit the attorney bringing the
case into court gets his fee, and the
| largest and first paid; when often he
| is more entitled to term in the peni-
| Tertiary for starting the trouble that
will inevitably wreck the company.
Let the legislature enact some pro
lection to Georgia corporations, re-
curing bond from parties taking the
/ initiative in receiverships and that
definitely, fees to be paid in such
! eases. Sincerely,
JE MERCER

OPEN IN ARBITRATION,
One of the biggest points in the VIC
tory of the street car men in their
short stay off the job is the condition
of arbitration which allows any two
members of the arbitration commit
tee to demand any book in the offices
of the street railway companies.
In the last attempt at arbitration
three years ago the men were bunked
when the street car company officials
admitted the existence of secret rec
ords, but refused to produce them.
The union car men are certain that
if the financial dealings of the COM
pany are shown up they will have no
difficulty in proving their right to an
advance in salary and better working
conditions. -.-.'

According to Mr.. Kaufman, it is 1876 feet
from the elevator to where the corpse was
found; and the witness, L. S. Dobbs, swore
that the trail of the dragging event straight
on down to where the girl was found. 1t aoas
continuous trail." It started fright In front
of the elevator" fright at the bottom Of the
shaft"
From the ladder to the body, it was $50
feet, and no witness swore to any trail, or
track Of any sort, from the tadder TO the
c0rpsei
There were no blood marks IN the basement,
none at the ladder, none at the elevator, none
In the trail, none in the trash, none IN the
coal-dust or cinders, none on the ladder, and
none at the trap door, and none on the first
floor.
(See evidence of Dobbs, Starnes, Scott,
Newt Lee, &c.)
When the corpse was found before day,
that Saturday night, the blood in the hair was
dry The blood on the underclothing was
dry The little hands were folded on her
breast She was lying face downward. The
blood had settled in her face and under her
nails Her tongue stuck out of her mouth,
and the cruel cord, tied tightly around her
neck, had cut into the dead girls tender flesh.
"The body was cold and stiff" There was
every indication that she had been dead for
many hours, the doctors thought about fifteen.
She was found about in the morning. Lee
found her, and telephoned to the officers, that
1t ecaS q a0hite girl. Her face, when she was
turned over, showed the congestion and the
dirt and the coal-dust through which it had
been dragged In being pulled over the rough
grit and cinders of the dirt floor, the face
was scratched
There were no cinders, or coal-dust or grit
n hnr mo hny.Y IN, bay,
How came that childs hands to be SO stiffly
fastened by the frozen muscles thot they had
remained folded across the breast, after
dragging 1876 feet, and after she was turned
over?
"Hands folded across the breast" That's
all the record says, and at first ii escaped noy
notice. Yet think what vital detail it is
Do negro men who kill white women, stay
by the corpse to write notes, and decently
fold their hands across their bosoms? Do
girls who are assaulted and murdered fold
their own hands across their bosoms? Did
Leo Frank fold those little hands across that
still heart, that lifeless bosom?
Oh no.! Whoever folded those hands did
not kill the girl, and Jim Conley says he
folded them.
The niger never for an instant realized the
tremendous Importance of his statement, that
when he went to the girls dead BODY. after
Frank called him, he found the girls arms
stretched out and the hands UP!
Fighting for her virtue to the very last gasp
pushing somebody off, when her head struck
the metal crank, and the instantaneous rigor
of death fastened her arms in that position,

other girl who worked there had hair like it,
except Magnolia, and Magnolia swore that
that hair 'looked like Mary's?"
No wonder the Rossers and Thomsons and
Burnses and Connollys try to beat about the
bush, muddy the water and confuse the pub
lie by harping upon Jim ConIey the drunken
brute Of negro"
No wonder they have tried to make light
of this tell-tale hair, found on Barrett's ma
chine 1t IS easier to poohpooh 1t than 1t as
TO account for 1t!
They cannot account for it.
What else indicates that the girl came to
her death on the second floor, Fraa1k's floor?
The blood spots. Before o'clock on Mon
day morning, following the crime, Barrett
found the large blood spot, and the smaller
spots around it, He swears it was not there
on Friday. ar VAS BLOODp'

floor, Magnolia Kennedy swears to it, Mrs

barley, manager of the Georgia Cedar Com
pany, swears to it, and he says that Lenana5e
Quinn Sh0Ucd 1t to him!
And when Mr.. Quinn went on the stand,
as witness for the Defendant, he said, Il
noticed the blood spots on Monday"
Herbert Schif, Franks assistant, swore to
it, too
Other witnesses could be named, but these
will do. There was no real contradiction.
Frank and his lawyers themselves tried to
explain away the blood on the floor by say
ing that two boys had sustained finger cuts
in the metal room, several months before. In
his final statement Frank did not deny the
blood, but explained that ''we have often had
accidents there"
The boy whose finger was cut, went on the
stand, and sWore that none of the blood was
dropped where that blood was found.
But the terrific force of the evidence Of the
blood is, that Franks own employees, whose
work was In that room, and who had the
sweeping of the floor, swore positively that
the blood aoas not there Friday!
Nell Stanford swore to sweeping that ve1y
floor, Friday, between and - o'clock, and
sWore that the blood was not on the floor He
said, Il moved everything and swept every
thing" and the sweeping was not finished
until - O'Clock.
H0a0 did the blood get on the floor after
Friday? And qUh08e blood aCas 1t?
The blood, like the hair, is right there in
the record. Four or five blood stained chips
are exhibit E., in the States evidence. What
will you do with it? How will you account
for it?
Out of the 100 women who worked in the
place, none claimed the hair, or the blood
Out Of all the men who worked there, none
explained the blood. YET 1t must be ep-
planned. 1t cries to heaven for explanation

Magnolia Kennedy, the DEFENDANTS wit-

sesentlous witness could 60. The hair was in
Barrett's hands, for all to sec. Did any girl
among the 100 who worked there claim it?

Barrett was talking to all of them about it.

1t isn't mere matter of 6 or s long strands
OF hair being on crank handle, in a room
where women worked. The prodigious i'm
p0rtance Of those strands Of hair is, that
Franks own trusted employee who worked
h3at particular machine up to 80 on Friday
evening, swears positively the hair was not
on his machine then! AS soon as he saw his
machine, on the Gerry meet ooorh dag, he saw
the hair on it, and called the attention of
Others to the fact.
What do you do with that stupendous fact?
What does Luther Rosser do with it? What
does w. E. Thomson do with it?
Why they say the girls we're in the habit
OF combing their hair, somewhere near this
machine, and that some Of the strands thus
cOmbed out, floAted on to the crank handle Of
Barrett's machine
All right: let us examine that theory. Pro-
duce the girl who claims those strands Pro
duce the girl who combed her hair in that
metal room, after Barrett left his machine at
$50, Friday evening. The or strands of
hair aoere all alike; they were not of different

.TYPETS TO COMPETE
WITH OTHER SCHOOLS
High School Commercial De-
partment Takes Part in
Statewide Contest.

The high school will take part in an
effort to standardize typewriting in
high schools of the state. and students
from the commercial classes will take
part in a contest to be held near the
close of the school year.
The Indiana Commercial Teachers
Association is sponsor for the move
ment. A letter received by Principal
Pickell from l. E. Grisco, president of
the association. sets forth the purpose
Of the contest as follows: This type
writing contest will be open to all
pupils regularly enrolled in the high
school commercial departments of the
state. The papers will be corrected
according to international typewriting
rules. and will be graded by judges
selected by the Indiana Commercial
Teachers Association. Suitable
trophies will be awarded to the schools
winning first. second and third place.
The association believes this contest
will stimulate interest in typewriting.
The result will give the I. c. T. A. a
chance to investigate typewriting con.
ditions in the state schools
Principal Pickell and L. r. Holman,
head OF the commercial department,
will begin plans for the Richmond
classes to enter the contest.

Soaps BAD
FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very spar
1ngly, If at all. If you want to keep
your hair looking at its best. Most
soaps and prepared shampoos con-
tain too much alkan. This tries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle.
an ruins it.
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(Which is pure and greaseless), is
cheaper and better than soap or
anything eles you can get.
One or two teaspoonfuls will
cleadnse the hair and scalp thor
oughly. Simply moisten the hair
with water and rub it in. 1t makes
an abundance of rich, creamy lath-
er, which rinses out easily, remov-
ing every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excessive oil. The
hair dries quickly and evenly. and
it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, dustrous,
flpffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at any pharmacy, and few
ounces will supply every member
of the family for months.
