Atlanta. Aug Governor Harris

he termed the interference OF North

cities of the Middle West and North
great many of them the papers which
urged the Communication of the sentence
Of Frank are making it more dIfficuit
for the state to proceed. The people OF
Georgia who feel outraged and indig-
nant at the hanging of Frank will grow
more and more indignant at some OF
the things being said in ignorance
about Georgia.
"The people resent il. | think the

from Mrs. Jane Long Boulder, the Bos-

helpers TO push the pursuit of the STAY
ers of Leo VI. Frank to the last notch.
Frank was probably innocent, but
whether he was innocent. or not. his
slayers were guilty of murder in a pc
culiarly revolving form. Every human
sensibility is offended by the active op-
rosition to Governor Slaton's decision
so bravely rendered by him. If | can

we denounce the action OF the lyhchers

dangerous to the republic. This is a
matter in which all the law abiding
citizens Of the land are interested,
equally and vitality. The authorities Of
the State of Georgia must do every

sincerely hope that the dangers to
every state and to the entire nation Of
fomenting prejudices of all kinds will

citizens of the land will take warning

New York.-United States At

jury investigating the alleged activi-
ties of Franz Won Rintelen to instigate
strikes in munition factories would re-
convene next week, probably We'd

Evidence obtained by the district
attorneys office and agents of the de-
partment of justice, it was learned,
definitely duplicates certain members
of the consular stats of Germany and
Austria.
Should foreign consuls be brought
into the case diplomatic entangle-
ments might result, and this was one
phase of the situation, it was said,
which was discussed at the confer
ence in Washington.
The executive committee of Labor's
National Peace Council has issued a
statement denouncing the charge as
~slanderous and libelous.
A resolution passed by the com.
mittee instructs former Congressman
H. Robert Fowler, general counsel, to
take all legal steps to defend the
good name of the council, and bring
to justice those who have maliciously
assailed its honor and good name"
The resolution praises Henry Ford

Basis for the Accusation That
Cover Six Years.

Washington, D. C.-No basis for
the charge that the United States
Steel Corporation has received enor-
nous rebates from railroads the last
six years has been found in the in
terstate commerce commissions in
vestigation. A report submitted to
the senate in response to a resolution
by Senator Lane of Oregon, says:
THE commission comes in constant
contact with the records and accounts
of railroads and other public carriers
through its examiners of accounts,
and has reason to believe there is no
basis for the allegation that the
wholesale rebates have been paid to
the steel corporation during the per
iod of six years mentioned in the
resolution"

AUDITOR MUST PAY
SCHOOL SALARIES
SUPREME COURT ORDERS COR
DON TO HONOR CERTAIN
REouIslTIoNs.
DECEMBER, 1914, WAGES DUE
Official Based Refusal to Pass War
rants on Ground that Law Was
Not Sufficiently Clear
and Specific.



The supreme court has granted q
writ of mandnmus to the regents of
the Cape Girardeau normal school to
compel State Auditor Gordon to honor
acquisitions IN the deficiency appro-
priation Of that institution.
The teachers in the normal school
have net been paid their salaries for
December, 1914. When the warrants
were presented to the auditor in April
of this year for $5,765.37, representing
the December salaries, he refused to
audit them.
Gordon said he based his refusal to
audit the normal school warrants on
the ground that the language of the
legislature in making the deficiency
appropriation was not sufficiently
clear and specific. 3
The legislature appropriated $780,
900 for the maintenance of the Cape
Girardeau school for 1884 and to
meet the deficiencies of the said in
stitution for 1894. Later in the
same section of the act the various
items for which the money is to be
spent during the present biennial pc
Rod we're set out, but the deficiency
was not mentioned again.
Chief Justice Woodson, who wrote
the opinion, holds that the courts de-
cision applies not only to the Cape
Girardeau normal, but to all other
institutions of the state which come
under the same section.

TO Remain UNFINISHED.

Under a decision of the supreme
court the new capitol, which is to be
completed according to contract, by
July /, 1916, will have to go unfur-
nished until after the next legisla-
tive session, because the last three
legislatures failed to authorize the
capitol commission to buy furniture.
The legislature appropriated $780,
600 for the purchase of furniture, but
neglected to delegate the authority to
the commission to expend the money.
The commission bought furniture to
the extent of $32.50 and filed the bill
with the auditor to make a test case.
The auditor, by Encouragement, re-
fused to honor the account, and the
commission applied for writ of man
damus in the supreme court. The
court denied the writ.

Must Pay for Sunday "Ads."

In an opinion written by Chief JUS
tice Woodson unfolding the contracts
for Sunday advertising by newspa-
pers, the Missouri supreme court de-
clares that the public press is more
of a public necessity than the rail-
roads, tho street cars, telegraph and
telephones, and that it ranks with the
home, the church and public school
as one of the four greatest institu-
tons in America.
The case was that of the Pulitzer
Publishing Co., against Henry ]. Nc
Nichols, who refused to pay for that
part Of his advertising contract with
the newspaper which was published
on Sunday His refusal to pay was
based on the ground that the news
paper violated the labor law in that
it was printed and delivered on the
Sabbath.
