FRANK DENIED
COMPUTATION

Atlanta, June 9.-By vote Of
two to one the Georgia prison
commission today declined to re-
commend Communication to life inn
prisonment Of the death sentence
pronounced on Leo NJ. Frank for
the murder Of Mary Phagan.
The commission submitted it's re-
port to Governor slaton With whom
the final decision rests. The COVER
nor may either approve Or reject
the recommendation a. he sees fis.
Commissioners II. j. Rainey and
r. r. Davidson voted against the
recommendation for cIemency.
Commissioner T. e. Patterson
voted in favor Of Communication.
1t is understood the governorwill
have further hearings on Franks
petition before he makes bis deci-
sion The majority report Of the
commission says in part:
None Of the grand jurors who
found tic Indictment, none Of the
trial Jurors who heard the evidence
under oath, nor the prosecuting at
torney have asked that the sentence
lie committed. The Judge, who
presided at the trial and who had
the right to exercise his discretion
in fixing the penalty at either life
imprisonment or death imposed the
later sentence and overruled a mo-
/ ton for new trial
Several appeals have been taken
to both the appellate court Of the
state and the supreme court Of the
United States, all Of which have
been denied and judgments Of the
lower coarts affirmed, thusassuring
the defendant Of his legal and con-
stitutional rights under the law Of
the land.
1T further appears that there
has been no technical proposition
Of law or procedure that has prev
ented the petitioner from having
his guilt on innocence passed upon
by jury Of his peers and by the
highest constituted appellate auth
critics. ("
The report then continues that
no new evidence having been shown
we see no reason for taking this
case out of the ordinary rules Of
law and justice and feel constrained
not to interfere with the enforce
ment Of the orderly judgment Of the
courts, "
Commissioners Patterson, in dis
senting report, said consideration
of the evidence against Frank left
his mind open as to whether there
was room to doubt the story told by
James Conley, a negro, who was
one of the principal witnesses
against Frank.

Who Pays Taxes
To Keep This
Town Going?
the money

w HEN a new bridge is
needed, a road must
be repaired, a courthouse is
to built, where does the
money come from? Do the
mail order houses pay it?
Hardly. They will not even
send contribution to help
buy a bell for the new chur-
eli or to help a Fourth Of
July celebration. They pay
no taxes in this town, and
they are not concerned in
its prosperity.
This town must be sup
ported by its residents and
those who live in the inn
mediate vicinity. If they
insist on sending their
money away then they are
helping to kill their town,
and they are making it
harder for them to ray the
taxes necessary to maintain
local government and to
make local improvements.
You owe something to
yourself, and you owe some
thing to your neighbors.
You can help yourself by
helping your neighbors.
You can't injure your nei-
ghbors without iniuring
yourself. When you send
money to mail order houses
you are hurting your town,
your neighbors and your
self.

The case of Mrs. Liisi Kuusiste We.
the Michigan Bonding q Surety Com
pany has occupied the attention Of the
Circuit Court nearly oil the week. The
case was started Monday afternoon,
when the jury began to be selected.
The regular panel did not suffice, SO
additional jurors had to be called.
Mrs. Kuusisto is suing for nine
thousand dollars, on the bonds Of three
of the saloon keepers Of this village.
Jacob Kuusisto, her husband. it will be
remembered, met his death in L'Anse
March 10th last, as the result Of burns
when q bottle Of carbolic acid was
spilled on him. The contention Of the
plaintiff is that he was under the in
fiuence Of liquor when the accident
occurred, hence she is entitled to re-
cover damages.
As we 60 to Eress Friday afternoon.
the case goes to the jury. We under
stand the case Of Ellen Burns w.
Michigan Bonding Co. will be taken up
next. =

do and David Kopponen were continued

Weather conditions have been adverse

Upper Peninsula has suffered less than
almost any section in the United States.
The figures prove 1.-THE destruction
the storms-the winds the floods-the
douths- and the heavy rainfalls have
been less severe here.
And there are natural reasons for it
good, sound. scientific reasons. which
cannot be argued away by any one,
any more than the facts can be success
fully denied.
The Upper Peninsula loses no crops
by fioods-ss is the case every year in
more than 20 lever peninsula counties.
The upper peninsula has no wide
stretches Of cultivated lands destroyed
by wind storms. a. happens every
where every year in lower Michigan
below the Grand Traverse region.
The upper peninsula seldom suffers
unroofed or overturned barns and
houses--a frequent occurrence every
summer in the lower peninsula.
Storms and floods this last summer
plunged cities in darkness in the lower
part Of the state-Ypsilanti. Ann Ar
Dor, Charlotte, etc. Men and teams
were caught and drowned in floods in
Calhoun and surrounding counties. In
dustries were crippled and shut down
