LEO M. FRANK GETS LIFE IMPRISON-
MENT

The case Of Leo NJ Frank, young
Jew Of Atlanta, Georgia, convicted Of the
murder Of Mary Phagan April 26th,
came to climax on June 22d, when
Governor Slaton commuted his sentence
to life Imprisonment. This was the date
which had been set for his execution.
This matter has attracted more atten-
tion than almost any criminal case la the
United States of recent years. Frank is
a man Of much more than ordinary educa-
ton and intelligence, and conditions sur
rounding his trial and conviction were
such that many thousands Of people
throughout the United States, including
eminent lawyers and jurists, were strong
ly inclined to doubt his guilt, and per-
feet deluge Of petitions have been pouring
in upon Governor Slaton for a commuta-
tion Of the sentance.
The attorneys for Frank based their
plea in his behalf on three points; first,
that he had not been accorded a fair trial; !;
second that the evidence did not positive
ly establish the defendant s guilt; third
that Judge L. S. Roam, the trial judge,
had since the trial expressed doubt Of his
guilt.
In committing Franks sentence, Gov
ernor Slaton did so against strong popu-
lar prejudice in his state, thereby showing
himself to be man with the courage OF
his convictions.
Franks attorneys in this case state
that this is only another step in the case,
and that they will now work incessantly
to prove his innocence.

BOTH MEET THEIR DEATH

Lieut.. Reginald A. J. Warneford, a
young Canadian aviator who on June 7th
acquired worldwide distinction by de-
stroying a Zeppelin over Belgium, met his
death at Paris on June 18th, together with
Henry B. Needham, an American writer
Of note, who accompanied him.
Both had ascended to a dizzy height,
when Warneford, in some way, lost con-
troll of his machine, causing their fall to
the earth. Not a spark of life remained
in the bodies of either when picked up.
The feat of Warneford on June 7th
marked the first time on record that a

CONVENTION OF ADVERTISERS

The eleventh annual convention OF the
Associated Advertising Club Of the world
in the Auditorium Of Chicago was one OF
the events Of the past week.
President VIM Woodhead, of the Asso-
ciated Advertising Club, in speech, de-
clared that truthful advertising is the only
kind that can pay.
"Truth,' said he, Gin advertising is
more than mere preachment; it stands
for a great business principle, not merely
because it is right, but because it is the
only basis for successful business be-
cause the only way to make advertising ef
fective is to make it believable.
1t is the duty Of the newspapers to pro-
tect the honest advertiser, and the general
newspaper reader, as far as possible,
from deceptive and offensive advertising,
and to accept no advertising which is an
tagonistic to the public welfare. F"
It is interesting to note in this connec
ton, that law prohibiting misstatements
of fact in any form Of advertising, includ-
inc posters, circulars and letters, has just
become effective in the state Of Missouri.

THE 'ARIZONA" LAUNCHED

The Arizona, the newest of the great
uperdreadnoughts belonging to the Unit
ed States was launched on June 10Th at
the New York Navy Yard.
This great battle ship has been built at
an expense to the Government of
100000, and when fully fitted with her
guns and armour plate, will have cost the
sum Of $16O0O,OOO.
The "Arizona" is sister ship Of the
Pennsylvania, y launched some weeks
ago, and like that ship it is oil burning,
and carries no coal. It will carry twelve
fourteen-inch guns, with a range of from
twelve to thirteen miles. This is the
fourth battle ship built at the Govern
ment s own Navy Yard in New York, and
is the largest Of the four.

GERMAN PRESS MORE FRIENDLY
THAN FORMERLY

The receipt Of Germany's reply to the
second American note is not expected un-
til after July 4th, at the earliest This
note it is claimed has been received in
Germany with decided feeling Of relief,
and the press, for the most part, is more
favorable and friendly than before The
hope seems to prevail that the situation
can now be settled peaceably.
A high official Of the German Foreign
Office is quoted as saying: "We are much
impressed by the friendly tone Of the Sec
ond American note. We certainly shall
do everything to reply in the same man
ner. There is no reason for apprehension.
Undoubtedly there will be a situation
which both countries can accept"
A Berlin dispatch, dated June 22d, an
nounces the suspension Of the Deutsch
Tageszeitung. This action on the part Of
the German Government is considered Of
greater significance toward a peaceful
settlement than anything that has yet
transpired. This paper was the least con-
cilatory in it's attitude Of any other paper
published in Germany, and had urged the
Government to deal with the American sit
uation with an iron hand

NOTORIOUS COCAINE PEDDLER
ARRESTED

A few days ago the chief of Chicaoo
cocaine peddlers, Omaha" Jeff Davis.
was arrested and brought to the Lake
County Jail at Waukegan.
Davis, it seems, has borne charmed
existence for years, having been arrested
many times on serious charges-in one
instance for murder, and always manap-
ing to secure his freedom.
1t is claimed that he has emploved
forty assistants, spread over a large mart
OF Northern Illinois, who were engaged
IN peddling cocaine. During the round
up, eighteen of these, including both men
and women, were arrested and are now
lodged in the jails of various counties.
AS result of Davis arrest, the au-
thorities anticipate the apprehension of
officials of two large wholesale drug
firms, one of which is in Omaha. for
supplying illicit peddlers with morphine.
cocaine, and opium; also the recovery of
part OF $4,000 worth of narcotics stolen
from firm of manufacturing chemists
in Chicago
Davis bond has been placed at

land Park, Highwood, Ravinia Park, and

ing to the determination of the mosquito.

ren, gardeners, and all public organiza-
tions, be enlisted in this movement, D.
K. Macmillan, Assistant State Entymo-
logist, in an address at Highland Park,
said, Every bit of shallow water is now
a breeding place for mosquitoes. Spec.

the ravines, which are ideal breeding
places. Pay special attention to all
leaks in pipes and drains. Smash all
cans and bottles capable of holding
water"

PARCEL POST RUINOUS TO
COUNTRY MERCHANT

Oscar B. McGlasson, President of the
National Wholesale Grocers Association
of the United States, in an address last
week said:
For the last decade the Federal Gov
ernment seems to have been antagonistic
to the business interest of the nation
American business is what has made the
American Republic, and business must
have relief from these innumerable, ire
concilable, burdensome, property consum-
ing, conflicting state and national laws
[ believe that to preserve the business
life Of the nation something must be done
to curb the Parcel Post policy of the Gov
ernment Are we to permit few men at
Washington to keep in force Parcel Post
law that means the ruination of the coun-
try merchant, and the destruction Of
towns and villages?"
