Leo Frank Again Condemned I'm
The Highest Court On Earth.
T HERE was no valid, legal ground for the
action Of Leo Franks regiment of law
yers IN taking his case to the Supreme Court
of the United States
Nobody believes that they hoped to do more
than delay the execution of the monster who
pursued, entrapped, assaulted and murdered
poor little Mary Phagan. ''the factory girl"
Unlimited money, contributed by rich Jews,
has exhausted itself in trying to dodge the
law, delude the public and defeat Justice.
Big money has failed at every point: the
law held its grip, the public was not deceived,
and justice will be done on the vilest man that
ever neglected young wife to run after $5-a-
week working girls.
The Prison Commission Of Georgia is not
court of review, and it has no real jurisdic-
ton over Franks case, as it stands
If that Commission should now undertake
to interfere with what has been done by the
Supreme Court of Georgia, and the Supreme
Court Of the United States, it will usurp
power the law never gave it.
There is feeling abroad that Big Money
is fighting to stave off the execution of Frank,
until Hon. Nat Harris shall have become Gov
ernOr.
What this feeling is based on do not
know, but the feeling exists.
Some remarks reported to have been made
by Colonel Harris on his recent trip North
contributed very much to the feeling that
the rich Jews look to him to save the guilty,
condemned man.
Colonel Harris may rest assured of one
thing:
Public sentiment in Georgia has crystalized
against Leo Frank, and that's qOhy no agita-
ton appears on the surface.
The conviction that Frank is guilty, and
that the fight which has been going on was in
truth a combat between Big Money and the
Law, IS Wniuorsaz
The State did not hire any lawyer to help
her official representatives.
The State did not spend one cent in the
employment of special counsel.
The State left her Solicitor General and
her Attorney General to meet the host of at
torneys detectives, hack writer's ETC., that
were in the employ of the Haas Finance Com
mittee
And now that the last and highest court
has spoken, no man should arrest the orderly
process Of the Iaao
Whoever takes it upon himself n0ao to
block the law. and defeat justice, qoiU be NOR
ally responsible for aohate0er mag happen.
That something bad ecouzd happen in such
contingency, have no doubt at all.
Let those in authority consider this, graoezy.
Next week, The Jeffersonian will again
publish the absolute demonstration of Franks
guilt, and his lawyers are defed to answer it.

Mrs. Frank came here Friday night, without

WATER BOARD TO.
WORK ON BETTER
FIRE PROTECTION

The Board of Water Commission.
ers has decided to provide better
fire protection for the city by the In
stallation of twelve new fire hydrants
in different sections of Perth Amboy.
The board has received the revenue
statement for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1914, submitted by SUI
perlntendent Grleve, which shows a
net gain in earnings of about $1,000
over the previous year.
Mr.. Grieve recommended that
about twenty new plugs be installed
to keep pace with the growth OF the
| city Mr.. Grieve said that he had
made an inspection and study of the
| fire plugs in the city, and that addi-
tional hydrants were needed in cer-
tain sections. He recommended they
should be installed gradually, and
estimated them to cost for installa-
ton complete $50 each. Mr.. Grieve
has been considering placing one
plug at Madison avenue and Market
street, one at Division street and
New Brunswick avenue, and num-
Der at different points in New Bruns-
wick avenue. He will later decide
definitely where they shall be placed.
From the statement of revenue for
the past year $50, 0,335.99 represented
the net earnings for the year, as
against $75,36540 for 1913. The
statement for 1914 shows: Water
sales, $126,952.62, metered; $32,-
626.61, unmetered, and $439.11 for
building purposes making a total of
$160,018.34, less deductions, leaving
net water sale of $159,75469. In
terest on bank deposits, on sinking
fund, recent bond issue and premium
on bond sale, etc, brought the total
revenue up to s167,44857 as against
S87,112.5S for water works mainte-
nance. The maintenance expenses
include the following: Salaries. ofli

then said that he would personal
ly guarantee to every one present, to
the sheriff and the judge that he would
maintain strict order in the Borough
and in the streets, that he could con
troll the entire situation in the Borough
but could not protect the plants, the
force being insufficient l then said
was reluctant to begin this matter be-
cause it entailed a very large expense
upon the county and the individual tax
payers would have to meet it, and that
it did not seem fair to me to make
the property owners in all parts of the
county pay for the difficulties this com
pany had with their men in Roosevelt
alone. The company officials insisted
on securing this protection to their
property and men as their lawful right
without any charge and expense to
them. Finally Mr.. Clifford and Mr..
Prescott retired for about five minutes
to another room for a conference and
consultation. Upon their return Mr..
Clifford, while disclaiming any legal OBJ
legation to pay, assured the sheriff that
the Company would be agreeable to re-
imburse the county for all expenses
connected with the proper protection
of their plants and men, but would
have nothing to do with the employ
ment of any guards. He then repeated
the formal demand upon the sheriff for
protection and security to their prop
erty and the lives of the men who re-
tanned employment. They had further
said that the need for protection was
immediate, that they had disturbances
at their plant Monday end that there
had been acts of violence and threats

prehensive that more trouble would
take place on that day and that thy

LABOR MEN HERE
ACT ON STRIKE;
ASSA|L SHERIFF
Plan Monster Mass Meeting
Here Sunday When Noted
Labor Heads Will Speak
A Probe on Houghton.

A mass meeting to protest against
the shooting of fourteen strikers at
Roosevelt, two of. whom died, will
be held at the Majestic theatre Sun
day afternoon under the auspices of
the Central Labor Union. 1nis was
decided Saturday night at long ses-
sion called especially to consider the
strike situation. A movement was
started to prevent local merchants
from selling food supplies to the
plants at Roosevelt where the men
are on strike, and arrangements
made to receive contributions to sus-
tain the striking fertilizer workers
in their effort to regain their former
wages of 81 per day.
Committee to See Merchants.
A committee of ten men was ap-
pointed to see the merchants of this
city, who have during the past few
days received orders for food sup.
plies from the plants at Roosevelt,
where the men are on strike. Sew
eral of the largest dealers in the city
were visited between II and 12
o'clock Saturday night. The COM
mittee reports that cooperation was
assured by the merchants, and that
one grocer went so far as to promise
donation of $50 to sustain the
striking fertilizer workers. The
committee also reports that they
found that one baker had refused to
supply 1000 loaves of bread day
to the plant of the American Agri-
cultural Chemical Company, before
any action in the matter was taken
by the Central Labor Union. The
committee will today try to prevent
the stores of Elizabeth from supply
ing the food, as the dealers In Roose-
welt have refused to do.
Sheriff Edward F. Houghton came
in for an arraignment at the meet
ing and a committee was appointed to
hold the protest meeting not
only to adopt resolutions deprecating
the shooting and calling for a thor
ough investigation, but to call on the
governor and Legislature to make an

to have acted ineficiently and negli-
gently in handling the situation that
his impeachment and removal from
office be demanded. The committee
will draw up the resolutions and pre-
sent them to the mass-meeting for
adoption, when they will be forward
ed to the legislature and Governor
Fielder. The shooting affair at
Roosevelt was characterized as muir
der, as two of the men who we're
shot died from their injuries.
The committee was empowered to
accept contributions for the support
of the striking fertilizer workers, or
donations may be sent in care of the
Central Labor Union. A box will be
stationed at the door of the Majestic
theatre next Sunday to give all that
desire an opportunity to contribute
to the cause, though admission will
be free to everybody.
Among the speakers may be U2t"d
States Senator MARITIME, Mother
Jones" and Joseph Cannon, of the
Western Federation of Miners.
The committee arranging for the
protest meeting consists of the fol-
lowing: Arthur Schroeder, William
Sellers, Joseph L. Crowell, Jesse Da
Wis and Joseph Smith. The Central
Labor Union last year held protest
meeting and adopted resolutions
against the Colorado strike "out-
