Slaton Would Hang
All Frank Lynchers;
Calls Act "Outrage''

SAN FRANCISCO, August IL.
Former Gov. John M. Slaton
of Georgia, who, as chief execu-
tive of that state, commuted to
life Imprisonment the sentence
of death passed upon Leo M.
Frank, and who is here visiting
the Panama-Pacific exposition,
was Informed this morning that
Frank had been Iynched.
"The act was a consummate
outrage" said Mr.. Slaton, "and
every man engaged in the lynch
ing should be hanged, for he is
an assassin. Such an act is
contrary to the civilization of
Georgia, and one which every
good citizen will condemn.
II could use no language too
condemnatory. l believe the Gov
ernor of Georgia will use all the
power of the state to punish the
malefactors who disgraced the
civilization of Georgia.
Their act was one of
cowardice, which belongs alone
to the assassin.
II am shocked and horrified
beyond expression. Any man
who approves of this action of
this mob of murderers is un-
worthy to be a Georgian. Any
man or newspaper which con-
dones this offense ought to be
driven out of the state. But the
conduct of this miserable mob
of assassins is the conduct of
the same sort of people who
shoot people from behind a
fence or murder a woman from
a cowardIy heart"

AVENUE POST OFFICE
AGAIN BEING SOUGHT
Merchants Plan Determined Fight
for Branch in Department
Building.

A second effort is to be made by mer-
chants and other business men of
Pennsylvania avenue to bring about
the establishment of a branch post Of
fee in the Post Office Department build
ing. \ meeting of the committee of
merchants appointed at a mass meet
ing of business men having establish
ments on the Avenue between 9th and
14th streets and in the immediate vi
cinity has been called for 30 o'clock
Friday afternoon by its chairman, Isl
dor Grosner. The meeting is to be
held in the headquarters of the Retail
Merchants Association.
Members of the committee are deter
mined to make a fight this time that
will bring about the maintenance OF
the desired branch Office in the depart
ment building. They declare they will
not take no for an answer from the
post office authorities this time.
On the occasion of their request sew
eral months ago that a branch office be
established there the post Office author
considered the contract offices in the
locality capable of handling the busi-
ness of the section. In their petition
for a branch office, however, the mer-
chants stated that the contract off1ceS
did not as a rule carry a sufficient num-
Der of stamps to supply the daily de-
mands and that the service rendered by
them was lacking in other ways. The
petition for the branch office was
handed to Postmaster Praeger and
upon his refusal to comply with the re-
quest the matter was brought to the
attention of the Postmaster General,
but without result.

First Troop Ship Sunk.

So far as has been reported officially
this is the first instance in which a
British transport has been attacked sue
cessfully by submarine, 1t had been
a matter of pride with the British gov
ernment that it had transported hun
dreds of thousands CT troops across many
seas without the loss of life. 1t is prob
able that the number of troops sent to
France and Belgium since the beginning
of the war is considerably in excess of
7OO,O 900. In addition, large numbers of
men have been, transported to the Dar-
danelles, Egypt, South Africa and Serbia.
Troops have been brought in from
Canada, New Zealand. Australia and In
dia for the defense of the mother coun-
try. The transports are accompanied by
an escort of warships, chief reliance
being placed on destroyers for ward
ing off submarine attacks.

To Make Determined Fight.

This time we are going to make a
more determined fight than ever be-
fore" said Chairman Grosner today.
Hardly a day passes but what l hear
complaints about the inadequate serv-
ice rendered by the contract offices. AS
chairman of the committee of mer-
chants scores of criticisms of the
service have been brought to my at
tention."
Mr. Grosner said his committee has
been promised the support of number
of merchants and business men who
did not take an active part in the ef-
forts made several months ago to bring
about the establishment of a branch
post office in the department building.
Since that time they have become i'm
pressed with the need for improved
service and have promised to aid in
every way in the fight to be launched
Friday, he said.
Other members of the committee of
which Mr.. Grosner is chairman are
Charles c. Muncaser, Carl Brodt. Louis
Jacobs and George Harris.

On Way to Dardanelles.

The British announcement shows that
the Royal Edward was engaged in con-
yeying troops to the Dardanelles front,
having been sunk in the Aegean sea.
German submarines sent to these wa
ters to assist the Turks have been very
active One of them, the U-51, under
command of Capt. Otto Hersing, made
the voyage from WilhelmShaven to the
Dardanelles and sank the British bat
tleships Triumph and Majestic.
The Royal Edward apparently had
been engaged in the transport service
since early in the war. August IL,
1914, she sailed from Montreal with 500
French reservists on board The last
report in maritime records showed her
arrival on October IS at Avonmouth,
Eng, from Montreal.
Never Confirmed Officially.
An unofficial dispatch from Berlin
February 21 reported the sinking of a
British transport with troops, and of a

prize offered in Germany for sinking a
transport had been distributed. No
official statement was made on this
subject, however. either in Berlin or
in London.
The Royal Edward was lilly tons
