NEGRO MAKES A
 DARING ESCAPE

Opelika June 21.-(Special.) )-Pomp Dickerson. negro convicted of wife mur- der. whose execution was set for next Friday, made a daring and successful escape from the Lee county bastile this morning about 2:3O o'clock. About that hour Sheriff Moon and Deputy Sheriff Claud Story, who sleep in residence ad- joining the jail, were awakened by the persistent ringing of the alarm bell, and making an investigation, found that Dick erson was gone. Statements of several prisoners are to the effect that the con- demned negro escaped by the use of wooden keys whittled out by pocket knives from back of chairs. Ada Robin son, young white woman prisoner. says that the plans of the escape were dis closed to her yesterday afternoon by Otis Ray, white prisoner, who gave her a wooden key with which she opened her own cell door. then unlocking the other doors through which the negro passed, after having been turned out of his cell by the aid of white prisoners.
 Dickerson is alleged to have murdered his wife in creek swamp in the lower edge of this county about two years ago. A few weeks after the murder he was captured in Pittsburg ana brought back to this city, where he was tried and con victed.

DECATUR

Decatur, June 21.-(Special)-It is learned here that the Louisville and Nash<V vile Railroad company. through it's le- gal department, will investigate the search and seizure of the baggage of pas sengers on their trains by deputy sheriffs.
 It has been the practice of deputies here for sometime to investigate baggage of passengers without warrants. This has been done for the purpose of finding liquor. This investigation of baggage on passenger trains entering the two Deca- turs has grown to such an extent that it has injured the cities by keeping many people away.
 A number of places of business in the two Decaturs remained open. all day yesterday. It had been announced that the sheriff would enforce the blue laws. However, butcher sh6ps, drug stores and soda fountains were instructed by the sheriff that they could remain open on Sunday.
 One arrest was made in New Decatur for the violation of the Sunday opening. This was that of a man who conducts confectionery store.
 As an illustration of the activities of the deputy sheriffs in their eagerness to sease liquors, the home of well known woman in Decatur was searched the other evening and no liquors were found. Two well known young men of New Decatur report that few evenings ago they alighted from a Louisville and Nashville railroad train in New Decatur and were followed several squares by deputy sheriff, as they were on their way home. This is only one incident in many where deputies have interfeared with the rights of railroad passengers and the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company have de- oil q fac v1rf,n legally seize the baggage of passengers or interfere illegally with their passen- gers It is understood here that this in- vestigation by the railroad company will commence at once. Lawyers state that under the law no deputy has right to seize and search the baggage of a per- son without having a warrant. Many complaints have gone up to the railroad officials. 1t is stated here on good au+ tbority.

 A Multimillionaire
 The recent probating of the will of De- Witt Clinton Blair in Belvidere, N J., has led to estimate commonly made in the financial district that his estate is not less than $5O,00O.0O0 and is likely to be more Yet Mr. Blair was one of those who are rarely mentioned in lists of Amer can multimllionaires, although his father the late John l. Blair, was known to have accumulated so great a fortune as to justify naming him among those who possessed the largest fortunes gained by Americans.
 MT. Blair, with his sons, who are the executors and trustees of the estate has been for years numbered among those who have the strongest confidence in the future of the United States. It was due to the financial support which they gave to several undertakings regarding which almost all capital was timid that these propositions were at last worked out and achieved great success.
 Some years before the death of the late Abram s. Hewitt, he advised friends who lived in Baltimore that 1t would be a safe and very profitable investment if they were to buy at the price offered, about $4,000, 900, the Clinchfield coal district MT. Hewitt said that if he were a younger man he would himself buy that property. Baltimore capital. however, was timid, chiefly because there was no adequate transportation from the Clnchfield dis trict to the seacoast. Later, Norman B. Ream. T. Jefferson Coolidge of Boston and the Blair brothers, iM association with Thomas F. Ryan, secured that property, although many men of capital though they were venturing greatly when they did so. Furthermore, with the cordial CO., operation of Dewitt c. Blair, his banking house undertook to finance the construc- ton of railroad running in line south easterly from the Clinchfield district to Spartansburg, s. C.. where communca- tion could be made with railroad having terminal at Charleston. All that the highest science of railroad construction could involve was adopted in the building of this road, which was completed only about two years ago. In addition to fur nishing cheap transportation facilities from the Clinchfield district, it also opens a new gateway from the Ohio valley to the sea. This one transaction illustrates the courage of MT. Blair and of his sons and it is only one of several in which these qualities were displayed.

practice and he was only persuaded to do so byf the appeals made to him by Mir. Field, MT. Porter and others With him became. associated. little later, Earl D. Babst, and these two men worked out with wonderful success a problem which involved wide, rapid and satisfactory dis tribution of the products of the company and also the highest scientific accuracy
 in the making of these products. Not even in the laboratory of the Standard Oil company has there been more constant and dilgent research than that carried on by men of science under the direction of Judge Green and MT. Babst.
 The sugar company, when Henry O. Havemeyer was president and when en- gagged in intense competition with Ar buckle Brothers made a special study of distribution, and that led to the per fecting of the cartel system. So, also Mir Babst as an executive of the biscuit company perfected a like system, greatly to the delight of Marshall Field and others. Moreover, he made 1t clear that he possessed remarkable qualifications for great salesmanship so that he who a few years earlier was a fairly successful prac- titioner at the bar bgan to be spoken of among the leaders in American business life as one especially qualified to point out the way by which the great business carried on by great corporation could be made successful The ideas respecting dis tribution and the perfecting of the cartel system-which is the pasteboard pack ages or boxes in which the commodities are pacled-are the same whether applied to a baking corporation or to sugar com pany. And it is the presumption that

"The murder of Mary Phagan was 8 most heinous one and the offender de- serves the punishment of death. The only question is as to the identity oi the people of Georgia to protect the lives of her citizens and to maintain the dignity of her laws and if the choice must be made between the ap- probation of citizens of other states and the enforcement of our laws against offenders. we must choose the latter alternative.
 Tt is charged that the court and jury were terrorized by mob and that the jury was coerced into their verdict. When Frank was indicted and the air was filled with rumors as to the murder. and mutilation of the girl, there was intense feeling and to such an extent that my predecessor, Gov ernor Brown. stated in argument be- fore me that he had the militia ready to protect the defendant if any attack was made Some weeks later the defendant was put on trial.'
 Refers to Laws
 The governor then referred to Geor- gias laws relating to change of venue, declaring these provisions must be broad in order to assure the defend ant a fair trial or in behalf of any one. Frank, he said, went to trial without asking a change of venue and submitted his case to a jury that was acceptable to him. During the pro- gress of the trial" he continued, aft CT evidence had been introduced lay ing the crime with many offensive de- tails upon Frank, the feeling against him became intense. Y If the au- dience in the courtroom manifested their deep resentment toward Frank 1t was largely by this evidence of feel ing beyond the courts power to cor rect. It would be difficult for an ap- pellate court or a trial court to grant a new trial in such a long case be- cause the audience in the courtroom on a few occasions indicated their sympathies. The jury found the ueIenuant Sullty ana With exception of the demonstration outside the court room there was no disorder Nothing was done which the courts could cor rect through legal machinery"
 The governor said the United States supreme court had sustained this rul- ing. He declared the charge against the state of Georgia of racial preju- dice fs unfair. He then reviewed the evidence. He asserted the state proved that Frank was in his office at the factory a little after 12 o'clock the day of the murder and that he ad- mitted paying Mary Phagan wages due her. So far as known he says Frank was the last person who saw her alive. Other facts enumerated by the gov ernor as to him the more important of those shown by the state were:
 Lee Left Factory
 That Frank at O clock the afternoon of the murder allowed the negro watchman, Newt Lee. to leave the factory for two hours; that the same evening Frank called on the telephone, that Lee found the double inner doors locked, all of which things he had never done before; that a cord similar to that with which the girl was strangled was found in quan-

ments. Apparently dsheartened by sucf methods the demonstrators gradually dis persed Early tonight the crowds on the. street, appeared quiet
 At Marietta, 20 miles from here, the former home of Mary Phagan, Governor Slaton was hanged in effigy. An inscrip- tion on the dummy read: John Slaton, Georgia's traitor governor
 The governor went fully into details of why he commuted the sentence. his 15,000 word statement not being completed un- ii. almost noon. He said his decision may mean that I must live in obscurity the rest of my days, but I would rather be blowing in a field than to feel for the most of my life that I had that man s blood on my hands
 Few Recognized Him
 Frank did not know until few min utes before he started on the trip that he was to leave his cell last night His heavy distinctive eyeglasses Were re- moved. which in itself was somewhat of a disguise. The officers, however, placed slouched hat on him and the few per sons at the station at l2:01 a. m., when the train left, did not know that the pas senger was Frank. He was recognized when the train reached Griffin, and at Macon he was reported to be very nerv- ous. needing the support of Sheriff Man gum when he transferred from the coach tc an automobile.
 At the prison today Frank changed his demeanor. assuming the outward calm that had marked his two-year fight for life. He again protested his innocence, expressed gratitude to Governor Slaton, and said that he had intuitively believed he would at least get a communication of sentence. He was given No. 965, donned q suit denoting the lowest grade prisoner and tonight apparently had begun the routine of prison life.

 Frank was delivered at the state prison at 4:So o'clock this morning and soon after extra editions of newspapers an nounced the fact here. Within a short time crowds began to gather on down. their demonstrations had resulted in call ing out two-thirds of the police force and later an order closing all near beer sa- looms and clubs where liquor could be obtained. At about noon a crowd con servatively estimated at 2500 gathered on the capitol grounds and listened to sey- ral speakers. The most of this crowd later took charge of the hall of the house of representatives, where several speak CTS said they doubted Frank had been removed from Atlanta.
 Visited Jail
 A committee of five was selected to visit the jail. They reported that Frank "as not there. Then Sheriff Mangum, who, with deputies, took the prisoner to Milledgeville, gave the crowd his word he had delivered Frank there and p'ained his trip in detail. The crowd, which packed the floor and galleries, then marched to Five Points," in the center of the business section and later went to city hall.
 As this had been the scene of a demon stration early in the day the police took stern measures Within fcw minutes the list of arrests had increased to 10, all charged with failure to move on." Mounted officers rode in circles in the crowd, separating it into small detach-
