FRANKS FATE IN
 GOVERNORS HANDS
Slaton Probably Will Render Decision Tomorrow or Saturday on
 Plea for Communion.

Atlanta, Ga, June 17.--Leo M. Franks final appeal for communication of his death sentence to life impris- onment was completed here late yes- terday and his fate was placed in the hands of Governor Slaton who took the petition under advisenent with the announcement that he would make his decision as early as possi- b1e. It is not expected before Friday or Saturday at the earliest.
 Next Tuesday, June 22, is the date set for Franks execution for the murder of Mary sPhagan.
 The conclusion of the proceedings yesterday before Governor Slaton ex- nausted the last resource which Frank may employ to escape the gall lows. The decision-for or against commutation-will bring to an end a remarkable series of legal contests in state and federal courts to clear Franks name and proceedings for clemency before the state prison com mission and Governor Slaton.

The Black Hand.
Chicago Herald. )

Citizens of Chicago will assuredly welcome the movement against the 's9lack Hand" recently begun by the federal department of justice. That peculiar institution has fourished so long that many people doubtless have come to accept it as a necessary evil. But it can be stamped out, and the government has unusually effective agencies for cooperating in the work Moreover, it is a problem which the government would seem to be under 8 special obligation to help the local authorities solve. For it results to great extent from some laxity or some weakness in our immigration laws, which has permitted this pecu- liarly undesirable sort of immigrant to get into the country. And though it may be that it would be very diffi- cult to keep this type from securing entrance at Ellis Island, that fact doesn't wholly relieve the government from certain obligation to help &C., lively to solve problem created by it's permission to enter.
 Governmental activities in this fer tile field would seem to be admirably calculated to deter as we'll as pun ish. There is 8 suggestion of mys- LeTlOuS dCLlV1ty ana reserve power m the proceedings of the federal gov ernment which the proceedings of fa- miliar local authorities usually lack. In a word, sort of terror of the unknown. And the man inclined to Black Hand'' pursuits, usually of a superstitious nature, is likely to he impressed with the dangers of power which works also in the twilight. It may we'll bring his wavering lawless- ness to the safe decision. better not"
 The fact that the Black Hand" criminal can hardly operate without sending his letters through the mail as a personal delivery of any sort would leave dangerous clues behind gives the government practical juris- diction of the greater part of these offences. Let us hope that its tried investigative machinery soon will be able to provide the grand jury and courts with enough material to deal an effective blow at this class of crinl- inals.

D'Annunzio.
Bridgeport Farmer. )

Lieut.. Gabrielle d'Annunzio--to give him his new military title-is perhaps the only living bard who can truthfully claim to be national poet" AS the eloquent spokesman for the war party in Italy, he was to no small extent responsible for firing the patriotic enthusiasm of his coun- trymen to the point where neutrality became impossible and Italys par ticipation in the European conflict a necessity. At the Garibaldi cele- bration shortly before Italy's final break with Austria, d'Annunzio re- ceived such popular acclaim as has fallen to the lot of no other poet of modern times. In the last speech to his demand that Italia 1rredenta" be redeemed from the Austrian yoke
 When he returned to Rome month ago, after several years of self-im- posed exile, he was hailed.as a hero
 When war was declared the poet sought permission to accompany the Italian battle fleet, and when his ap- plication was refused he enlisted in the army and was commissioned lieutenant D'Annunzio was born in rescara, and is now in his fifty-first wear. Tn stature he Is Napoleonic-- that is diminutive. He was edu- cated at the College of Prato in Tus- cany and the University of Rome, and began hs career as poet thirty-flve wears ago, when he published his first volume of verse. Since then no less than twenty-five volumes have issued

Denies Published Charges.


 Washington, June 17.--At the state department today telegram was re- ceived from the German embassy at Cedarhurst, N. Y., signed by the charge d'affaires, making a general denial of the published charges that Dr. Anton Meyer-Gerhard, for whom the state department obtained safe conduct back to Germany from the allies, was in reality Dr. Alfred Meyer, a high German official secretly in the United States buying war supplies. State department officials will decide later whether to make the. telegram public. s.
 Nothing from Count Won Bern storff himself, has yet been received.
 Not Officially Notified.
 President Wilson, it was said at the White House, had no official knowl- edge of the reports concerning Dr. Meyer Gerhard. It also was said that the White House had no information on other reports that letters sent to the allied embassies here and to the war department regarding inventions of war implements and munitions had been tempered with.
 None of the alled embassies which has experienced interferences with it's mail had any complaint to the post office department and none, so far as could be learned today has any plans for doing so. In allied quarters it was said instances has found evil dences that it's mail had been opened on United States railway mail car. Mail to practically all the embassies from abroad has borne evidence of inspection, but there is no way to de- 4termine if it happened in the United States or in Europe. .,'r
 Whether the post office departrn ent would take cognizance of the charges on its own account was undetermined.

from his pen, and he has gained a place among the foremost of latter day singers. Many of his poems and tragedies have been translated into English, and have gained for the Italian bard a large following in Great Britain and America. It is re- ported that d'Annunzio expects to give his life to his country, and. in that expectation, has already built a tomb for himself among the crags of the Appennines.

but some man in Florida is trying to
make oranges more popular than ever
by declaring that this golden ball is the
Apple of Discord set in motion short
time before that small unpleasantness
called the Trojan War. Others say
it was an orange that the Mother of
Mankind could not resist when in the
Garden of Eden. As apples are com
paratively modern, except the crab

are improved so that they little resem-
BILE the sour, seeded, skinny specimens
we used to know.
1t is almost century since the i'm
portation of oranges was of sufficient
size to bring the fruit to the table very
frequently. Now better methods of
transportation, and improved methods
of growing the wonderful crop makes
not do without.
Cuba sends us many varieties called
Havanas; they are the sweetest of all
when fully ripe. Some palates prefer
the Florida orange and the California
product is second to none. The quality
of our ome-grown fruit is fine and it
does not seem as though it could be
improved. Growers say, though, that
great injustice prevails in the prices
paid to them for the fruit and that
paid by the final consumer The aver
age price paid for oranges by the box
last season was thirty cents This is
just about the average price we pay
for a dozen!
OF all our fruits none is so whole
some as this beauty. It's juice contains
citric acid that also distinguishes the
lime and the lemon. The use of or
anges at all seasons tends to advance
our general good health.
