The catalogues came by freight, and about seven tons of them were already for mailing, and were turned over to the postoffice to be sent out over Arizona, New Mexico and Mexico
 The remaining eight tons were placed in d warehouse. and small quantities are being sent out each day as the pre-cancelled stamps are received here.
 The reason for sending the books by freight was to escape the mail rate between here and Chicago.
 They are not being sent out to names furnished here but are already addressed in Chicago.
 The seven tons transferred yester- day, filled three large wagons. It is expected that three or four more car loads will be received here between now and fall, all to be mailed from this postoffiCe

MEN CONFESS
 THEY SET FIRE
Case Is Now Complete Against Trio Who Burg larized Churchill Home and Then Fired 1t to Cover Their Crime

Aided by Deputy Sheriff James Murphy in his questioning, Policeman R. L. WilkersOn yesterday succeeded in obtaining from Miguel Milano Ri cardo Cobo and Pedro Orgein com plete confessions of their connection with the robbery and burning of the Churchill home late Sunday night and early Monday morning. The men not only admitted that they committed burglary but also acknowledged that following a second trip to the house, they set it afire, hoping to hide their crime. The men will be taken before Judge Stanford in superior court this morning when it is expected they will enter a plea of guilty to charges of and Maria Vega, charged with receiv- ing some of the good stolen will be taken into court at. some later time.
 For nearly two hours yesterday in the presence of Assistant County At torney Leon Jacobs, the men were questioned Sometimes one man would be brought into the room, then another would replace him and again all three would be brought in at the same time From one statement to another the men finally involved themselves SO deeply that finally they all admit ted to Deputy Murphy that they had committed burglary and also had fired the house.
 The police are still seeking some of the articles thought to have been stolen from the Churchill home. The men say that all the articles taken have ben recovered and that if any thing more is missing it must have been destroyed in the fire which seri- Ously dama ged the residence. The po- lice cling to the belief, however, that more goods will be located today.
 On the heels of the arrest of these men and women, Chief of Police Bris- bois yesterday started a roundup of all suspicious characters and vagrants. Four were in court yesterday and were given sentences of sixty days each, with the option of leaving town inn mediately. They went.

GAVE HIM DONKEY ORDERS

An Irish drill sergeant was instruct ing some recruits in the mysteries of marching movements and found great difficulty in getting a countryman of his to halt when the command was given. After explaining and illus trating several times he approached the recruit, sized him up silently for a couple of minutes, then demanded his name.
 Fitzgerald, sor,' was the reply.
 Did you ever drive a donkey, Fitz?"
 Yes, sor''
 What did you say when you wanted him to stop?"
 Whoa"
 The sergeant turned away and i'm mediately put his squad in motion. After they had advanced a dozen yards or so he bawled out at the top of his lungs: Squad halt! Whoa, Fitzgerald"

COURT SUSTAINS VETO
(Continued from Page One)

attempting to repeal the general stat utes making continuous appropriations was vetoed by the governor, and the veto, by this decision, is sustained, and the appropriations made by the general statutes continue.
 The decision in all respects sustains the opinion of the attorney general given to the auditor before the com mencement of this action, and upholds in every particular the views of At torney George J. Stoneman, as con- tained Tn his brief submitted for the applicant, Jesse Boyce.
 Announcement of the decision was received at the state house with ex- pressions of unqualified approval on the part of officials and attaches whose salaries are being held up pend ing a settlement of the question. Every where the question was will the au- ditor appeal? ?" and speculation was rife as to what the next step would be.
 The Levy Question
 Just what course of action the state board of equalization will adopt when it comes to fix the state tax levy had rot been decided yesterday. Members of the board heard of the courts deci- sion with the greatest interest, but un- til they had seen the opinion were not prepared to say what would be done with reference to the levy bill, which provides for a levy based on the ap- propriations passed by the legislature. The bill became q law without the gov ernor's signature.
 The difference between the levy as passed by the legislature and one ne ceSsary to take care of the statutory appropriations for the schools of the state is approximately ten cents on the hundred dollars. The board of equali- zatiOn may decide to levy the rate fixed by the legislature, and let the treasurer register warrants sufficient in amount to carry the school fund to $500 000, or it may decide that it has authority, under the statutory appropriation for the schools to break away from the levy bill in this particular. and provide for the full amount in the state tax rate
 In Chapter IS, Title II of the Revised Statutes, 1913, provision is made for the lew of "a sufficient tax to raise the sum of five hundred thousand dollars, said levy to be made upon the taxable property within the state and paid in to the state treasury as a special fund for school purposes"
 Acting under this provision of the statutes, it is pointed out, the board may decide to ignore the levy for a sum of $100,00O as stipulated in the levy bill.
 . Tax Commissioner Thomas F. Camp bell was particularly interested in the decision of the court and the outcome Of the writ of mandamus A month ago he threatened to resign if money for the expenses of the commission was not forthcoming by August 15, rather than sit idle and draw his salary Since that declaration he has followed the trend of proceedings more closely than the average citizen.

The note argues at length for the German interpretation of the disputed treaty provision, contending it's intent to establish reasonable compromise between the military interests of a bel ligerent contracting party and the commercial interests of neutral party.
 "On the one hand says the note. "a belligerent party is to have the right to prevent the transportation of war supplies to the adversaries. even when carried on vessels of a neutral party; on the other hand the com merce and navigation of a neutral party is to be interfered with as little s possible by measures neces- sary for such prevention, and reason? able compensation is to be paid for any incOnveniences or damage which may, nevertheless. ensue from the proceeding of belligerent party" That. in short, is Germanys argument based on her interpretation of the treaty, and to that the view of the United States is squarely opposite. Payment for the Frye in the manner suggested would not affect the uues- tion of rights under the treaty
 The German prize court on July 10 held the imperial government for damages, but fixed no amount since the United States declined to become party to the proceeding. demanding settlement by diplomacy under the treaty.
 The case of the American steamer Leelanaw recently sunk by a German submarine is parallel to the Frye case. It is now in the preliminary stages of diplomatic negotiation.

HAS
 CONNUTED

Atlanta, June 21-The death sen tenCe of Leo Frank has been com- muted to life Imprisonment and he has been taken to MllledgeVille prison farm. Frank, after a sensa- tionaI trial lasting several weeks, WIS convicted in this city in 1913, of having caused the death of Mary Phagan, a little girl who worked in the pencil factory of which he was the manager. How he could ever have been convicted on the testimony that was offered has been a mystery to people all over the country who followed the progress of the trial.
