Step Forward!

We should have a closer spirit
Of cooperation between the farm
ers of this community, and then
between the farmers and the
toWnsmen, and we know Of no bet
ter way to accomplish this desired
result than to organize a kind of
Get Together Club the mem
bership to be free and composed
Of all who may wish to affiliate.
Once formed, such a club could
hold meetings about once each
month at which subjects affecting
the welfare Of the community
could be discussed, newly tried
methods Of production reported
upon. and plans laid for the gen.
eral Improvement Of local condi-
tions.
Then there could be a general
fraternizing between the farmer
and the toWnsman, with the re-
suit that a closer understanding
and appreciation of the one for
the other would be developed.
and all could unite in a determin-
ed movement for the advancement
of the social, commercial and f.
nancial interests Of all Of the peo-
pie.
There is no question but such
an organization wonld be of ines
Unable value to the community
when properly and energetically
conducted.
The question is, though. have
wn three or four aggressive citi- !
zhns from fern and town who will
take the iniative in the launching
OF sucl. a movement?
Ff they will come forward we
vttIl nlace the columns Of The !
Corinthian at their disposal and
DO everything possible to help the !
cause along.

around; things have happened
this year that will never happen

why do we live as we do? We
ought to treat each other as for
because we do not know
when we treat fellowman wrong
that we will ever have an oppor-

ought to think Of these things and |
do as the Bible directs do unto
others as you would have them do |
unto you've and let live be

we did it.

TRIBUTE. WILL NOT REQUIRE
MUCH TO DO THE WORK.

Harry b. Harts and several other
public spirited citizens living in the

1t is estimated that twenty dollars
will do the work, this amount, when
raisesd, will be turned over to the
high school mothers club who have
taken such active interest in the
work this spring, and the park made
a beauty spot. Mr.. Harts stated that
the city had no money with which to
do this work, and it was up to the
citizens with civic pride to loosen up
a little and let the mothers club have
the cash with which to do the work.

Callahan Mandel Contracting com
pany of Chicago, and a Mr.. Shaw OF
Salina, Kan, were in the city today

it took as least that long for the
preliminary work before the contract

URGE GOVERNOR
CRUCE FOR A. &
NJ. PRESIDENT.
MOVEMENT STARTED IN OKLA
HOMA CITY SEEMS TO HAVE
STRUCK POPULAR CHORD -
GOOD MAN FOR PLACE. (

Oklahoma City, April 1S.-A sug-
gestion, made by somebody other than
Ex-Governor Cruce, that the ex-gov-
ernor would be a good man for pres
ident of the Oklahoma Agricultural
and Mechanical college, has been cir;
culating about this state. 1t took
on new force when Governor Cruce
visited this city this week on his re-
turn from McAlester to Ardmore.
It has been pointed out by persons
interested in the Agricultural and
Mechanical college that Governor
Cruce would be highly desirable
person to head that institution be-
cause of his scholarly attainments
and his deep interest in educational
work. They point to the zeal that
was shown by him throughout his
term as governor in behalf of the
state educational institutions and his
unfaltering efforts for their improve
ment. The example of eX-President
Taft in going back to educational
work is noted in this connection by
persons who would like to see eX-
Governor Cruce head the A. & NJ.
The precedent is there, and the ar
guments that otherwise concern a
situation of this sort are also pres
ent.
Governor Cruce has probably not
heard of the movement, and his at
titude toward such plan is unknown.
The board of agriculture, which has
the selection of a head for the A.
& NJ, has not yet been appointed by
Govtrnor Williams. The old board
is short two members, owing to resig-
nations, there being but three men
now on the board. including Presi-
dent Gault. That the present board
does not intend to make any move
ment toward filling the vacancy Of
about a year in the presidency of
the college at saltwater is generally
believed.

IN ARDMORE
sCoUTMAsTER JOHN H. COFFEE
WILL MEET BOYS AND TALK
OVER THE MATTER OF REoR-
GANlZATION.

A year or so ago, under the leader
ship of Rev. Keicher, the Ardmore
troop of Boy Scouts was healthy,
thriving organization, and many boys
received lasting benefit from the
work Since the departure of their
former scoutmaster no progress has
bten made, and the troop has prac-
tcally disbanded.
Now comes the announcement that
Scoutmaster John II. Coffee, who has
been doing such good work with the
Sulphur troop, is going to take an in
terest in the work here in Ardmore,
and desires to inform all the boys
that he will meet them at the band
stand at Wilmington park next Friday
evening at 1880 o'clock for the pur-
pose of talking Scoutcraft, and de-
termining how many of the boys are
really interested in the work and
would like to see the troop reor-
ganized
All boys who were in the organiza-
tion before, and all other boys of the
city who would like to know more of
the beauties of the great outdoors,
and become proficient in all the
things pertaining to Scoutcraft, are

In Egypt British airmen have been
dropping bombs on the Turkish en-
campment near the border while a
French cruiser, the fire of which was
directed by a seaplane, has been
throwing shells on the Turks near
El Arish, where the army for the in
vasion of Egypt has its headquarters.
These operations were undertaken
presumably to harass the Turks, as
the Turks have not shown any inten-
tion of attacking the British since
their last repulse along the canal
In the Carpathians there has been
fighting, but no battle to compare
with those which the arrival of spring
brought to close. The Austrians
officially report that they have re-
pulsed Russian attacks to the south
east of Lupkow pass, infiicting heavy
losses on their adversaries, but else
where comparative calm prevails.
The French have again been active
in the Vosges, capturing an important
height near Metzeral. The British,
too, have attacked the Germans in
the neighborhood of Ypres, where
fighting was still in progress when
the last report was dispatched.
1t is again stated that the German
efforts to bring about an accord be-
tween Austria and Italy have failed,

the frontier incident which occurred
yesterday According to the latest
reports, the Austrians, who were pass
ing over Italian territory actually fired
upon the Italian troops, who repulsed
them and in return penetrated into
Austrian territory.
The sinking of the Greek steamer
Ellispontos by a submarine off the
Dutch coast is likely to bring about
some friction between the Greek and
German governments. The Ellispon-
tos was destroyed while on voyage
from Ymuiden, Holland. to Monte

Rome, April 19.-The abandonment
by the German general staff OF the
plans for a general offensive in France
and Of their intention to remain on
the defensive there is inferred by dis
patches receiver here.
1t is believed this decision ms ind'-
Gated by official communications to
the Italian cabinet, as we'll as by state
ments of Germans in official circles
and are taken to mean that the Ger
man hope of further penetration into
France has been put aside.
Geneva dispatches give the impress
sion that the Germans have decided to
transfer the Austrian heavy artillery
now before verdun, to Poland, and to
send back to Cracow and West Galicia,
the Hungarian cavalry now on the
western front.

BROADWAY METHODIST CHURCH

Rousing gospel sermons and stirring
gospel songs characterized the SER
vices at Broadway Methodist church
yesterday. At no time has DR.. Butler
preached with more power and influ-
ence. and he preached to a crowded
house both morning and evening.
There were two more conversions at
the evening service, a number joined
the church, and one baby was bap-
tised at the morning service. DR.. But
Ter announced he would preach this
evening onthe Second Coming of
Christ
Those who have heard him know
something of his power as a gospel
preacher, and when he centralizes his
thought and force upon some special
subject, he always comes up to the
expectation of the most critical.
You will enjoy the thirty minute
evangelistic song service under the di-
TeCllOn Vi heN' MI Hlllps' MS near

solos are sweet and devotional.
Services this evening at 7:45, and

singing, is doing most efficient work,
and is to be complimented on the re-

QUESTION Of
F|L|NCFEES IN
CRIMINAL CASE
ACT OF LEGISLATURE NOT Full
FILLED BY OPINION OF ATToR-
NEY GENERAL IN RULING IN
HICKMAN WILLIS CASE.

That the new schedule of filing fees
for cases in the supreme court does
not apply to criminal cases is an
nounced by the clerk of the supreme
court in a communication to Brown
Brown & Brown, attorneys for Hick-
man Willis. The appeal of Hickman
Willis had been filed in the criminal
court of appeals, and under the new
schedule of fees provided for under
the law recently passed by the legis-
lature the filing fee was set at $40
Clerk Franklin states that he had
submitted the question to the attor-
ney general with the result as above
stated, Attorney General Freezing
holding that this schedule of fees
did not apply to criminal cases. This
comes as distinct surprise. as it
was the general belief that the new
law included both civil and criminal
cases, and it is known to have been
the tentent of the legislature that it
should apply to both classes.
Representative Kelly Brown. who
was one of the authors of the bill,
states that no one thought but that
bob civil and criminal cases would be
placed on the same basis as to the
filing fee.

British Troops RepuIsed.

Berlin, April 19.-lt is officially an
nounced that south of Ypres yesterday
the British were elected from the
minor German positions which they
held. The British attacks along the
railroad from Ypres to Confines broke
down with heavy losses to them. The
French attacks at Combres and in the
vosqes failed. Between the Meuse
and MoseIe, there was only artillery
fighting. The British and French re-
ports concerning victories on the west
ernn front are all inventions. Theh
eastern front is unchanged.
Brtsh-French Gains Claimed
Paris, April 19-An official state
ment says the British yesterday in
BeIaium near ZwartaIen captured two
sundred yards of German trenches and
held them despite the counter at

The French were successful on the
banks of the River Fecht, in Alsace
and are pressing the advance on the
north bank, southwest of Colmar
where they made impotant progress.

bombs on BeIfort, but there we're no
casualties.

UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT
TO-DAY DECIDED AGAINST At
LANTA MAN.
COURTS GAVE JUSTICE
Justice Ptney in Delivering Courts
Opinion Declared That Condemned
Man Received Fullest Right and
Opportunity to Be Heard.

Washington, April 19.-The SUI
preme court of the United States to-
day decided against Leo NJ. Frank
who was convicted of the murder of
Mary Phagan, the Atlanta factory girl.
Justice Pitney in delivering the
opinion of the court concluded by
saying
"In all the proceedings in the courts
of Georgia, the fullest right and op-
portunity to be heard, according to
the established modes. of procedure,
have been accorded Frank"
Frank sought a habeas corpus,
which the federal district court of
Georgia had denied him. 1t is be-
Iieved now that the only thing to pre-.
vent the hanging of Frank will be a
pardon by the governor of Georgia.
Two justices, Holmes and Hughes,
dissented today.
Leo NJ. Franks legal fight for life
ha staken a place among the cele-
brated murder cases of recent years.
Seven times since his conviction in
August, 1913, the lower and supreme
courge-of the state of Georgia refused
to grant Frank a new trial or to sci
aside the verdict; three times tht
sentence of death was passed upon
him and twice appeals were made to
the United States supreme court, the
first being unsuccessful and the sec
ond resulting in the decision today.
The murder of fourteen year-old
Mary Phagan, factory employe, OF
Atlanta, Ga, which at first appeared
to be a crime of only local importance
eventually developed into a case oi
nation wide interest. This was due
in large part to the efforts of Frank
and his friends to obtain for him 8
new trial or annulment of the verdict
Added interest in Atlanta was giveT
the case because of its having beer
brought into a municipal politica
controversy which involved attacks
on that city's police and detective
departments and wrangles among fac
tions in the city administration.
Soon after the trial ended the cas'
came in for agitation which spread
all over the country.
Mary Phagan was murdered Apri
26, 1913 on a southern holiday il
observance of Confederate Memoria
day. Shortly after noon of that da!
she was seen to enter the pencil fac
tory. in Atlanta, where she had BET
employed and where she went to oh
| tain wages due her. Her body wa
found next morning in the basemen
of the factory, with a cord tied arounc
her neck.
Leo VI. Frank, a young Jew, CO.
lege graduate and married, who's
home had been in Brooklyn, y. V.
was superintendent of the pencil rae
tory. Three days after the murder
Frank was arrested on suspicion anC
on May s, Frank and a negro watch
man at the factory, Newt Lee. were
held by the coroner for the grant
| jury's action. SiXhteen days latel

factory, made a confession 20 t,
