PREFERS LYNCHING
TO JUDICIAL MISTAKE
Comment Of Former Gov. SlatOn
on Killing Of Frank

San. Francisco, Cal, Aug. 1S.-Ir
an address Yesterday to the San Fran
cisco Center Of the California civic
League former Governor John Nj
S1aton OF Georgia. who committed the
sentence of Leo NJ. Frank from death
to life Imprisonment. declared he
would prefer to have Frank lynched
by a mob than to have him hanged by
judicial mistake, because one reached
the soul of civilizations; the other
merely reached the body"
Mr.. Slaton's address, devoted al
most entirely to discussion of the
Frank case and the lynching of Frank
was delivered in the presence of
majority of members OF the California
supreme court and other prominent
persons, and members of the league.
Lesson to Georgia.
In his address Mr.. Slaton said:
II would prefer Frank to be
iynched by mob rather than that he
I've hanged by judicial mistake. One
attacks the soul Of civilization; the
other merely reaches the body. This
has been such a lesson to Georgia
that hope it will never again occur
IN our civilization.
There are conditions about the
Frank case which constitute a tribute
10 the state of Georgia. No wonder it
is difficult to open the ears of Geor-
Sians to reason. They forget the
identity of the offender In the magni-
tude of the offense
Saved State From Stain.
There were many good people
as good as you and WHO disagreed
with me because, they said, l set
aside the verdict Of a jury and inter-
fered with the functions OF a duly
exercised court of law. But when
these people find out the truth of the
Frank case, their general condemna-
ton of me will turn TO general ap-
proval and they will know that I
saved the state from a stain which
never could have been eradicated."

leader by Judge Hillyer last May.
Affidavit by Hall.
Lawson's application for a writ of
error and a supersedeas staying the
execution of the sentence pronounced
by Judge Hillyer was based upon the
same allegation contained in a pre-
vious motion for a new trial, denied
by Judge Hillyer Notably among
these allegations was an affidavit by
Grover Hall, a member of the jury
which convicted Lawson, declaring
that he was induced to agree to the
verdict Of guilty through coercive
measures employed by a court bailiff.
The application also claimed ad-
ditional evidence had been found.

URGES GERMANY TO HOLD UP

Scheme of Kaisers Trade Representative to Foment Out
cry Against British Blockade Brought
to Light.

New York, Aug. 1S.-One of the
disclosures made yesterday regarding
the German propaganda was that a
. German trade representative advised
his Government to interrupt ship
ments of German products to this
country with the aim of creating
American resentment against the Eng
lish blockade against Germany.
It was said that Count Won Bern
storff received $1,100,000 from the
Deutsche Bank several weeks ago;
that Germany was spending $4,000
900 week in it's pro-German cam
paign in this country.
A letter written by William r. Je-
rome to Arthur Won Briesen suggests
that Mr.. Jerome was asked to make
an important investigation for the
German Government.
Charges Pour In.
Charges regarding German activity
paured in yesterday to the Admin
istration officials in Washington.
One of these was that Germany
was seeking to stir up sedition in
the Philippines.
The attitude Of the Administration
Is that nothing thus far has been
found in the published revelations
that would warrant criminal proceed
lngs.
Gompers Demands Inquiry.
Samuel Gompers issued statement
demanding an inquiry into the charge
that the Germans were seeking to TO-
ment labor troubles.
Count Won Bernstorff made 1T clear
he would not make any statement in
answer to the various charges. Other
persons mentioned in the revelations
maintained silence.

PAY MORE IN 1918
Joy Riders Will Increase Revenues to
State Road and Bridge Fund Un-
der New Provisions.

There seems to be some confusion
regarding the new automobile law
passed few weeks ago and signed by
Governor Hammond. Automobile
owners in Sauk Centre are not quite
agreed upon the provisions of the new
measure and some are under the i'm
preston that the increased license
fees are to take effect at once, which
does not seem to be the case.
Increased license fees provided by
the new law do not 60 into effect un-
til Jan. 1, 1918. For three years be-
ginning Jan. 1, 1915, the old fees pre-
vail-$1.50 for each license no matter
when it is taken out. They will ex-
pire in 1918, and the new licenses in
that year will cost SIS, lasting three
years. Licenses issued in 1919 will
cost $50, and in 1920, 81, all to ex-
pire in 1921, which will begin a new
period.
Hereafter when an automobile is
sold, if the license tag goes with the
car, the purchaser must register with
the secretary of state and pay a fee
of 81. This is to make it possible to
trace the ownership of the car, which
would be difficult case where second
hand cars passed from one owner to
another.
eBginning in 1918 the license for a
dealer, covering any number of cars,
will cost $40.
Under the new law all license money
goes into the road and bridge fund,
and this takes effect at once. The
change in chauffeur's licenses also
goes into effect right away. The new
license is $1.50 instead of twice that
amount before. Renewals each year
will cost a dollar.

A SPRING BRIDE
Miss Flora Koenig and Max Gamradt
Wed in Presence of Relatives
and Friends.

TOn Tuesday afternoon of this week
at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Goenig of this city occurred the mar
riage of their eldest daughter, Miss
Flora, to Max Gamradt, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Reinhard Gamradt. The
bride has grown to womanhood in this
city and is well known and enjoys a
large circle of friends. Mr.. Gamrart
was raised on a farm near this city
and for the past year or so has been
employed by the Koenig Cold Storage
Co. The ceremony was performed at
2:3O p. m, the pastor of the German
Lutheran church of Melrose officia-
ting. The bride wore a gown of
white silk and carried bunch of bri-
dal roses. She was attended by the
Misses Laura Koenig and Edith Gam
radt as bridesmaids. The groom wore
conventional black as did the best
men, who were the Messrs. John
Smith and Edward Gamradt. The GER
mony was performed in the presence
of only the immediate relatives, after
which the bridal supper was served.
The young couple will remain in Sauk
Centre, Mr.. Gamradt retaining his
position with the Cold Storage Com
pany. They have the best wishes of
their many friends.

CITY DADS MEET.

The City Council met in regular
session at the office of Clerk J. F.
Cooper last evening with all members
in attendance. Several important mat
ters were considered, among them be-
ing a proposed ordinance regulating
the storing, handling and sale of gas
oline in the fire limits and residential
districts of the city. The council did
not feel like acting on the question
without further investigation and it
was laid over until an adjourned
meeting to be held in a few days. Sew
eral tax matters were also discussed.
The date for holding the special cleo
tion in the First Ward to elect an al
derman to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of VIM. Pangburn was not
set, and this will also be decided upon
at this meeting. The Herald under
stands that DR.. H., L. Lamb has def
mite plans made for moving from the
ward and that his resignation will be
handed in making it possible for the
city to fill both vacancies at one elec-

Miss Anna M. Anderson has rented

coming season from J. w. Ward, and
together with her sister will manage
them along the same line as did Mrs.
o. Wheeler last season. Ward Springs
is popular resort, not only with peo-
pie in this immediate vicinity, but
from various parts of Iowa and Min
nesota, and it's fame as a place to
spend few weeks in the open, fish
ing, boating and swimming is rapidly
spreading. The medicinal properties
of the water bring number of people
every year and the way in which the
resort was handled last year made
many friends for the already popular
outing place. We have no doubt but
that the Anderson sisters will manage
the Springs in the same efficient man.

as will render their married life insup-

his by inheritance, where he enters the
service of a shoemaker, Ivan, under

and awaits the coming of his wife. Up
on her arrival he tells her that he is
Alexis, serf, having married her on

his wife, is serf also. He sets her to

LEAGUE SCHEDULE is OUT
Minnesota Base Ball Associ-
alton Opens Season May 23rd.-
st. Cloud at Sank Centre.

Sunday, May 23rd, marks the OPEN
ing date of the Central Minnesota
Base Ball league and on that date
the six membership towns of the cir
cult will clash in opening games. The
Sauk Centre Grays will make their
bow in the initial contest with the St.
Cloud aggregation and the event will
undoubtedly be witnessed by a mon
ster crowd. Mayor McGibbon will
throw the first ball and open the sea-
son auspiciously.
Different opinions have been ex-
pressed regarding the lineup of the
home team and the management
hopes to fulfill the expectation of the
most enthusiastic fan and yet con-
form with the leagues two-salaried
man limitation. Undoubtedly it will
result in the appearance of salaried
battery.
1t will be noted by the schedule
that Sauk Centre will play seven
games on the home grounds and eight
at other cities. The unevenness of the
schedule is caused from the fact that
St. Cloud gets the majority of it's
games on their own ground and en-
tered the league with this understand
ing. Hewever it is hoped that there
will be more games at home. The
official games are played only on Sun
days and consequently the Fourth of
July, which will be celebrated here on
Saturday July 3rd, other holidays and
the fair dates will result in games be-
ing played in this city.
Other cities on the circuit are pre-
pairing to get behind their teams and
help boost in every possible way for
the success of their clubs. The same
spirit should be manifested here by
all those to whom the sport appeals.
The expense of maintaing the
team is not light and this can be
greatly overcome by the attendance
of the fans, especially when games oc-
cur at home.
The schedule follows:

States revenue derived from its wild
life. The law until now permitted one
to hunt without license in his home
county. The new law requires a Ii
cense fee of $1.00 from every person
more than 81 unless he hunts on his
own lands, lands of his immediate
family and lands leased by either. As
the city hunters usually hunt in some
other county and as the farmer usu-
ally hunts around home this will pro-
duce license money from the farmer
and the residents of the smaller towns.
Each license permits three shipments
of not more than Is birds each. Lii
censes formerly permitted shipment
of fifty birds.
Another restriction made by this
legislature is aimed at the chap who
made it habit to keep a freezer fill
led with birds, or moose or venison all
winter. Under laws until now this
was permitted providing 81 was paid
for a retaining fee. These retaining
tags will be issued as before but will
permit the purchaser thereof to keep
game birds only until December 81 and
big game meat only until January 1"

FIGHT CHOLERA
Meeker County Farmers Unite to
Drive Out Dread Disease Dur
ing Summer Months.

If. every county in the United
States had as effective an organiza-
tion to drive out hog cholera as Meek
er county, Minnesota, has just formed
there would be few hogs lost this year
Farmers in Meeker county are deter
mined to wipe out the disease.
The Meeker County Swine Breeders
Association, as it is called, has 100
charter members. 1t is incorporated.
There is a president, vice-president,
secretary-treasurer, and a board of
directors in charge. 1t is much simil-
ar to the Renville County organiza-
tion formed last year by the United
States department of Agriculture to
fight the cholera.
The township is the unit of organi-
zation. There is to be local organi-
zation in each township, a member
ship of ten or more persons emitting
a township to a directorship upon the
county board. Central headquarters
are at Litchfield. An effective cam
paign is to be conducted in each town.

tor is to be aided by an assistant Sec
retary, the two men acting as a ocm-
mittee to see that the town board en-
forces the quarantine laws. The two
will insist not only upon strict quar-
antine of sick herds but the burial or
burning of dead hogs to prevent birds
or animals from spreading the dis
ease.
The initial membership fee is So,
and the dues so cents year. The
money is to be expended by Secretary
and Treasurer G. A. Amidon, teacher
of agriculture at Litchfeld, to keep
serum on hand and pay expenses of
the organization. About 10000 cubic
centimeters of serum will be ready
for use at any time.
