mitted, which everybody admits could not
have been before 1906, Frank suddenly
said: Here comes Emma Clark and
Corlnthla Hail. and put Conley in the
wardrobe
THE uncontradtcted evidence Of these
two witnesses was that they reached the
factory at 11:35 a. M, and left 1t at t1;45
q. M, and therefore this statement of
Conley can hardly be accepted"
OF the question OF blood. the Governor
said:
TT is curious during the course Of the
story that. while Frank explained to
Conley about striking the girl when she
refused him and Conley found the girl
strangled with cord, he did not ask
Frank anything about the use Of cord
and that subject was not mentioned
"The wound on Mary Phagan was near
the top OF the head and reached the
skull Wounds Of that character bleed
freely. At the place Conley says he found
the body there was no blood.
FRANK COULDN'T STRIKE BLOW.
zone Barrett says on Monday morning
he found six or seven strands Of hair on
the lathe with which he worked. The I'M
plication is that II was Mary Phagan'
hair and that She recelNeu CUT Wy nav
ing her head struck at this place. 1t was
strange. however. that there was total
absence of blood and that Frank, VINO
was delicate could have hit a blow oil
such violence.
barrett and others said they thought
thew saw blood near the dressing room,
TO which place Conley said he dragged
the body.
"All this bore upon the question whetn-
er the murder took place In the metal
room which is on the same floor as
Franks office.
on May "a, 1918, Conley made for the
detectives an affidavit in which he says
that on the Friday before the Saturday
ON which the murder was committed
Frank asked him If he could write. This
would appear strange, because FRANK
we'll knew he could write, but according
10 Conley's affidavit, Frank dictated to
him practically the contents of one OF
the notes found by the body OF Mary
Pbagan. Frank then, according TO Con-
lcys' statement, took a scratch pad ana
wrote on that himself; then gave Conley
a box OF cigarettes In which was some
money and said to him he had some
wealthy relatives in Brooklyn, and why
should hangF
This would have made Frank guilty
Of the contemplated murder on Friday
which was contaminated Saturday, and
which was so unreasonable it could not
be accepted.

The veto by Governor Brumbaugh of
~ bill repeating the so-called full-crew
,,v created a sensation in political cir
ice in Philadelphia today The veto,
.Aich came as a complete surprise to
most Of the political leaders and workers
a Philadelphia. was announced by the
coyernor late last night.
OrRanization lieutenants and adherents
,rpTessed the belief that the Governor
avas after the labor vote" and that he
vetoed the repeater for this reason. High
praise for the Governors action came
from Independents.
The repeater was passed by the last
legislature after the most vigorous and
spectacular campaign waged In the legis-
lailye halls in years.
II Is estimated that the % railroad cor
porations in Pennsylvania spent moro
than 100000 in "junkets," for the main
tenance of a powerful lobby and in send
Inr tons of mail and thousands Of tele-
grams to members of the Legislature in
thelr campaign to have the "full-crew'
law, which was passed in 1911. repealed
Republican Organization leaders, in
Guiding Senator Penrose, during the
campaign last year had pledged them
selyes TO work against the repeater, but
he railroads conducted such a vigorous
campaign for the repeater that before the
Measure was passed finally late in the
session, the leaders were openly working
for It, and were Issuing orders to their
followers in the Legislature to vote for
The repeater.
The fight over the repeater attracted
Statewide interest. Two public hearings
vere held in Harrisburg while the meas
ure was still before the Legislature, and
At both OF them the railroad employees
we're represented by ex-Attorney General
John c. Bell and James S. Scarlet, Of
Danville, who prosecuted the Capitol graft
cases.
In vetoing the repeater, Governor Brum-
laugh reviewed all of the arguments that
had been advanced for and against the
measure and gave several reasons for his
action on the repeater.
One OF the startling statements made
BY the Governor in his veto message was
that spokesman for the employees of one
o. the railroads had told him that If we
help the company get this repeater
hgough we will get an increase In
salary"
The additional man on the train crew
made necessary by the full crew law
had added to the safety OF the passenger
uafhc according to the Governor. who
N his veto message called the extra man
ne emergency man" He added that
ne railroads have failed to show that the
aw Is unfair, and pointed out the facI
mat they can obtain redress two years
rom now II they show that the law Is
unfair before the next Legislature meets

FREIGHTER DOCKS HERE AFTER
CREW TOOK TO BOATS IN GALE
Men Went Ashore and Encamped in
Desert Region.

Among the happiest men In Philadel-
phla today are the captain and crew OF
the freighter Panama Transport" which
docked at Port Richmond this morning
after weathering a gale In the Straits
Of Magellan, which Captain william d.
owen said was the worst he has expert
enced in his long sea career. The gale
was 80 terrific, he said. that he and the
81 members OF his crew took to the boats
off one Of the remotest regions of
South America, after giving UP hope OF
seeing civilization again for many years
at least.
The ship, which is of 5000 tons, left
Puenta Arenas, n British port in the
Straits of Magellan, early In May.
When the gale struck her as she was
nearing the Pacific coast the ship was
driven back into the Straits and entirely
out of her course.
Captain owen sought refuge in a bay,
but to reach It he had to guide his ship
between two 40OO-foot cliffs, the entrance
being only about $50 feet wide. This bay
gave little shelter, and the vessel then
was steered into another treacherous bay
where the crew took to the boats and
established a camp in an unknown de-
serted region. After several days. the
gale subsided. The Panama Transport"
then steamed up the western coast and
came through the Panama Canal.
