FRANK SPARED
AT LAST HOUR
Governor COmmuteS Sentence
Of Convicted Slayer,
CITIZENS PROTEST ACTION

sresring Lynchlng, Officials Struggled
Prisoner From Atlanta Jail Before
Decision Was Announced.
Leo NJ. Franks death sentence for
ahe murder of Mary Phagan In Allan
"a, Ga, was commuted to life impris-
AaDment by Governor John NJ. Slaton.
The governors decision was an
caounced barely more than twenty-four
hours before the time set for Franks
execution, and after he had been Sc
qETetly taken from the Fulton county
yail TO the state prison farm at Mil
1edgeville.
The excitement of the crowds on the
SGtreets after the governors action be-
came known subsided somewhat as
the day wore on. A mass meeting was
Seld on the capitol grounds. 1t was
estimated that the crowd numbered
8SOo. Several speakers took exception
% Governor Slaton's action.
AN those at the meeting who could
later crowded into the hall of the
house Of representatives, where other
speakers mounted the rostrum.
Many seemed to doubt Frank had
5een taken to Milledgeville, and
.peommittee of five was appointed to
20 to the jail to find out. After an in
-Vestigation the committee reported
5ahey did not believe he was there.
Sheriff Mangum, who took Frank to
1ahe state farm, addressed the crowd
sd house. He gave in detail his route
20 the prison farm, and assured the
crowd that Frank was in the state
prison. Seemingly satisfied, the meet
ing passed a resolution condemning |
VEhe action of Governor Slaton.
a few minutes later a speaker urg-
0d every one to march to Five ,
Points," in the business center Of the
aStg, as a demonstration against the
accumulation. The crowd then started r
SaCwntOwn, but there was no intima-
Vion Of violence.
The crowd, after halting a short
4ime at Five Points," went to the city
th1A. Several arrests were made af.
eter mounted police and patrolmen had
made futile efforts to disperse the de-
smonstrants. Mounted police kept the
an rings, rounding up the demon
agtrants into small detachments.
Governor Slaton issued a statement
~of approximately $4,000 words, ex-
planning his action. He maintained
rGheTe was reasonable doubt of Franks
guilt of the murder of Mary Phagan.
He devoted much of his statement to
the part the negro, James Conley, the
prosecutions chief witness, might
aave played in the crime.
Feeling as l do about this case"
Waid the governor in giving out his
statement. 81 would be a murderer if
I allowed this man to hang. 1t means
Ghat | must live in obscurity the rest
Of my days, but ! would rather be
.plowing in field than to feel for the
rest of my life that l had that mans
blood on my hands"
In his statement Governor Slaton
reviewed the circumstances surround
ing the murder of Mary Phagan, the
conviction Of Frank and his appeals
Cor clemency.

Washington, Jan. 13.-Representa- tive David J. Lewis, chairman of the house committee on labor, announced that the committee on labor, an- nounced that the committee on in dustrial relations, which had been in vestigating conditions of unemploy- ment in various forms, is now draft ing bill for the creation of a fed eral employment bureau. The bureau to be created by the Lewis bill will take the place of the temporary agency for unemployed men, which will be organized by Immigration Commissioner Caminetti.
 There are now many state and municipal bureaus to bring together the job and the unemployed man." said Lewis My idea is that these could be co-ordinated with a national bureau. The fedeal government al ready has the machinery to run the federal employment bureau in its ex- tensive post office department, whose ramifications reach every nook and corner of the land. The post office could be made an agency for the dis semination and collection of informa- ton regarding work and unemployed men. The federal employment bureau could distribute it's information through the post office.

VACCINATION FRUITFUL.
Typhoid Virtually Disappears After
 Troops Undergo Treatment.

Paris, Jan. 13, 4:40 A M.-The war has demonstrated beyond all question, according to members of the medical commission, the 'efficaciousness of an- ti-typhoid vaccination. Most of the members of the active army had been vaccinated before the war, but the reservists and territorials drafted and sent to the front later had not, and as a result, towards the end of Octo- Der, a large number of cases of ty- phoid developed.
 The medical commission sent doc tors to the firing line and they vaeci- hated whole army corps of 10000 men. By the end of December the good results of this treatment became apparent, as typhoid had virtually dis appeared the only cases remaining being among the men of two regi- ments which the doctors were unable to reach.

NEED FOR RESERVE
 OFFICERS URGENT
Secretary Garrison Says Chamberlain Bill Is Sound in Principle and
 Satisfactory.

Washington, Jan 13.-Sound in principle and eminently satisfactory to the war department, is the comment by Secretary Garrison in answer to an invitation from the senate committee on military affairs to express his Opin- ion upon the Chamberlain bill to ere ate a reserve of officers in the army.
 The secretary says the need for re- serve officers is so great that it seems no argument need be presented in support of the bill, while history fur nishes the facts necessary to support this legislation.
 In brief, the bill authorizes the president to commission as officers of the reserve corps not above the grade of colonel such citizens as may qualify under the rules laid down by the sec retary of war. The reserve officers are not to be entitled to retired pay nor pensions except for disability in cured in the line of duty in actual service. This body of officers may be called upon for active service for the president only in the event of &C., tual or threatened hostillties.

FINANCIAL INTERESTS
 BACK OF SULLIVAN
VCk Claims They Secured American
 Ministers Appointment.

New York, Jan. 13.-That the ap- pointment of James M Sullivan as American minister to the Dominican Republic was procured by certain financial interests for their own ends was the opinion expressed yesterday by Walter w. Vicl1, former receiver general of Dominican customs, at the opening session here of an investiga- tion into allegations made by Wick against Sullivan. The investigation 1 is being conducted before Senator elect James D. Phelan of San Fran cisco appointed a special commission CT by the state department to take testin ony in the matter. The testi- mony taken was under three heads the circumstances surrounding Sul- Hvans appointment, his fitness for the position, and his conduct in office Tried to Prevent Appointment
 Mr. Wick, the first witness sum- moned, testified that before his ap- pointment as receiver of customs, he met William c. Beer, who he under stood was identified with the inter ests of the Banco Nacional of Santo Domingo; and 8 MT. Gold said to be connected with Beer in a fruit com pany, who expressed a desire to be appointed to the post which Wick lat CT obtained. These men in his opin- ion, did all they could to prevent his appointment to the customs service.
 Did they procure the appointme ent of Sullivan for their own ends?" Vick was asked.
 "I think they did, he replied.
 Cousin on Visit.
 After the arrival of Minister Sul- livan in Santo Domingo, the witness continued, he began to suspect that Beer, Gold and Samuel M. Jarvis said to be connected with the Banco Ma cional had undue interest in the re- ceivership of customs.
 My suspicious were first aroused" he continued, E'when they demanded that the depository of the customs funds be changed to the Banco Ma cional. Then Minister Sul1ivan's cousin, Timothy Sullivan, came to the island to visit. I learned later that he was to head a $2O,OO0,O00 con- cern to operate there." \
 Fooled for Some Time.
 Was he S2O,O0O, ,CS0 man?" asked Commissioner Phelan.
 'He was not. I am frank to ad- init that I was fooled for some time after I went to Santo, Domingo"
 Several letters and cab1egrams be- tween Secretary Bryan and Minister Sullivan were produced at the hear ing.
 In these Sullivan categorica1ly de- ned most of Vick's allegations and pleaded ignorance of any wrongdo- ing in, the others.

AMERICANS TO BRING

Succor for Civil Population Equally as Urgent as 1t Is

Berlin, Via. The Hague and Lon don, Jan. 13, 1O:55 a. m.-Dr Wick life Rose and Ernest Bicknel, na- tional director of the American Red Cross Mission, departed today for Poland where succor for the civil population is equally as urgent as it is in Belgium.
 It appears that the inhabitants of the cities are particularly distressed, according to information received by Messrs Rose and BickneH. as all of the Polish industries are at a stand still, while the importation of food stuffs has ceased since the outbreak of hostilities, owing tC military re- quirem ents and the destruction of railroads.
 The Americans will be accompanied by Dr. Theodor Lewald, director of the ministry of the interior, and will visit Czenstochowa, Lodz, Lowicz, Skierniewcie and other cities in Poland.

SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT
 DEFEATED IN HOUSE
Vote Stood Z 4fu and l74 gaInst
 RGSOIu.El- -2eiIy for BiI

Washington, Jan. 13.-DemoCratc leaders in congress today considered the woman suffrage issue dead, so far as the present session is concerned. as the result of the failure of the Mon dell resolution for constitutional amendment to enfranchiSe women to get the necessary two-thirds vote in yesterdays historic contest in the house of representatives. Failure of the resolution to get even d majority vote, it was believed, would discour- age further efforts at this session to have the question again brought up for consideration.
 UndiSmayed, however, because of the defeat for the second time of the suffrage cause in congress within a year, suffrage leaders declared today that the fight would be continued un- til victory was theirs.
 Will ReaIign Forces.
 It was thought likely that suffrage leaders in congress and out would be- gin immediately to reaign their forces for another fight in the sixty fourth congress.
 On the other hand, anti-suffragists were out today with statements on the results, asser ting that their ex- pectations had been fulfilled. Mrs Arthur M. Dodge, president of the National Association Opposed to Woman Suffrage, declared that the result meant that the suffrage move ment, 'fostered by hysterical wom- en- was on the wane.
 The vote on the resolution came at about o'clock last night. Not since the debate and vote on the resolution for a prohibition constitutional amend- ment had sucn a spirited contest been witnessed. The galleries had been thronged with champions and oppon- ents of the cause, whose frequent ap- proval or disapproval of speakers made it difficult for Speaker Clark to maintain order.
 Majority of Thirty Votes.
 On the roll call 37S votes were re- corded, 204 of which were against the resolution and 174 for it. The reso- lution, therefore was rejected by a majority of thirty votes.
 Analyzing the vote, it is shown that of those voting for the resolution, eighty-six were democrats, seventy two republicans, twelve progressives, three progressive-repub and one independent. Those voting against the resolution included I'll democrats and thirty-three republicans.
