Frank was favored with relatives and friends
with means sufficient to employ some Of the most
able lawyers to defend him. Every techncality
and artful dodge used, hoping to find some
loop-hole in law or evidence to save him from
the gallows. with the benefit of several trials and
appeals. He was fairly justly convicted of the
crime And had it not been for protests wouId

prescribed, at the hands of men duly authorized.
Protests influenced the evil conditions that tempt

to prove false to the trust reposed in him by the
citizens Of the State and by his act cast blot
of shame on the fair name OF Georgia, and created
a prejudice in the State. Protests inter

Circus Hit Hard by Foot and
Mouth Restrictions.
Gloomy Outlook for Ring Men
in Summer Time.
AGAINST CATTLE IMPORTS
State Orders Will Also Hit Cir
Gus Horses and Elephants.
Other Items of General Interest
i'm the Traffic World.

The circus will be hit hard this sum-
mer because of the hoof and mouth
embargoes in the United States. Ihe
sawdust magnates have good cause TO
shed costly tears.
For instance a circus was booked to
play 40 dates in Kansas and Nebraska
this spring. A large percentage or
these dates were in the four counties
in Kansas where the hoof and mouth
disease is conferred. Because they
were not allowed to play in these
counties, the circus manager cancelled
all of his dates and went to missouri
where the trouble has not yet been
experienced.
With the ever constant changing
en1bargoes against the importation of
any kinds of cattle in several states,
the circus man will not know which
way to turn this summer. In Texas,
New Mexico and other states in the
southwest, it is absolutely impossible
for a big circus train, with horses,
mules, elephants, tigers, CRATES or
zebras to enter the domain.
While that condition is not true to
every part of the country, yet Topeka
railway officials and others interested
in the hoof and mouth trouble predict
that the orders will be more and more
stringent as warm weather approaches
and the outlook for the circus is in
deed gloomy

RATE EXPERT ON STAND.
U. G. Powell of Nebraska Commission
Says Per Cent Not Too High.

Chicago, April 3.-Seven per cent is
not too high a return to railroads on
their investments and railroads may
earn even more than that without in
dicating they enforced excessively
high rates U. G. Powell, rate expert
of the Nebraska railroad commission,
so testified under cross examination
today at the interstate commerce COM
mission hearing of the western rate
case.
Mr.. Powell had been on the stand
two days in opposition to the forty-one
western railroads plea for higher
freight rates on certain commodities.
He selected six of the western rail-
roads as typical saying they were
earning on an average 6.75 per cent
and this showed they were not I'M
prosperous.
The roads were the Atchison, To-
peka & Santa Fe, the Chicago. Bur-
Gngton & Quincy. the Chicago, Mil
waukee & st. Paul, the Chicago &
Northwestern. the Chicago. Rock Is
land & Pacific and the Missouri Kan
sas & Texas.
Counsel for the railroads contended
that Mr.. Powell had selected mostly
the strong roads, emitting the finan-
ciaIly weak ones which also are a par
ty to the plea for more revenue.

AS VIEWED FROM OUTSIDE.
Flying Squadron Thinks Election Far
Reaching in Cause.

Members of the Flying Squadron
were asked what would be the effect
on the campaign for national prohibit
ton if Topeka were to elect a mayor
who did not believe in prohibition and
who has written statements deroga-
tory of it.
Daniel A Polling, associate of Faith
err Clark of the Christian Endeavor
world organization, said, IF he were
the Angel Gabriel and my father to
boot, and if he had said that (refer-
ring to one of the anti-prohibition
statements of Mr.. Jay E. House, L
could not vote for him. Nothing
would please the brewers more than
to be able to say the mayor of To-
peka has issued that kind of stuff re-
garding the operation of prohibition
in Topeka"
DR.. Ira Landrith, editor, lecturer,
and president of the Ward-BeiTnont
college, while 1 know little of local
conditions I cannot understand how
any right-minded person can vote for
a mayoralty candidate whose attitude
on law enforcement is that as pub
lished in recent months and years by
one of your candidates for mayor
Mr.. Jay Z. House"
DR.. Charles M. Sheldon said, My
friends, ask you so to vote next Tues
day that it will not be necessary for
me to apologize when speaking of To-
peka. Let all of us as good neigh
borS and citizens, regardless of party,
sect, or color, work together to elect
a man who has shown by his acts that
he stands for all that is right. You
know what 1 mean"
DR.. Carolyn E. Geisel of the Battle
Creek Sanitarium and medical grad
uate from universities of Berlin and
ST. Petersburg, said, Rather than
have elected as mayor of Topeka the
man who has written such sentiments
regarding prohibition I would be in
favor of asking the Flying Squadron
to cancel their engagements elsewhere
and stay right here for the rest of the
week. 1t would be a fearful blow to
our cause were that man elected

other city to take precedence in the
eyes of the country until the new
amendment has been written into the
loon business in America
Hon. J. Frank Hanly, former gov
ernor of Indiana, said, I'VE thought
this election of so much Importance
to our cause that we did what we have
done nowhere else. We changed our
schedule and gave up two cities that
will not be visited at all now. For the
sake of the other communities strug-
Cling to free themselves from the pow
to elect a man whose words could be

at this hour means more to the brew
erS than this one. Their buSin eSS

POOR BOYS in ny"
Memberships Are Being Carried
by Generous TOpekans.
Wards of Juvenile Court Given
Chance to Make Good.

The accusation has been made that
the Central Y. NJ. c. A is nothing
more nor less than a good club for
the sons of rich men. 1t is not gen.
orally known that SIS memberships are
carried for boys and young men who
otherwise would not be in a position
to take advantage of the privileges
of the association. These member
ships are paid by generously inclined
Topekans who believe that the ''Y' is
u good thing, and who desire to help
some boy or young man.
Several of the boys who are being
carried are or have been wards of
the juvenile court and are being given
a chance to make good"
A number of the boys who have
been given the association privileges
have been recommended by the Rev.
John III. FaZel, in charge of Redden,
and who takes an interest in the boys
work at the Provident association. In
several cases the memberships have
been promised as an inducement to
boys to attend Sunday school. After
the memberships have expired a GER
tain percentage of the boys have asked
to be allowed to pay their own dues,
and have worked like beavers to
earn the money.
The boys are urged to keep in close
touch with the men who pay for their
memberships. There is one promi-
nent business man who carries five
OF these memberships and takes keen
delight in being able to be of service
to the youngsters.
Norman Noble, age IS, an unusual
ly bright and active boy, who has
been taken care of in the association
for two years, said today: I'VE
have great fun in the boys de-
partment- I like all of it. I had a
fine time at the Big Brother camp
last summer. and want to go again.
We had swimming, boating, fishing,

to work, too-for camp money"
