In the first degree. Is now before the
Governor. although no written applica-
ton for a Communication OF sentence has
been presented. Martin T. Manton.
counsel for Becker. made a flying trip
to Albany this afternoon. and for more
thar an hour he and Gov Whitman dis
cussed the case and the application for
clemency.
There has been no date arranged for
a formal hearing OF the Becker case"
said the Governor after his talk with
Manton.
Becker has less han three weeks to
live under the sentence OF the Court of
Appeals fixing the week beginning on July
IL for his execution. Within that short
time Gov. whitman must decide whether
or not life imprisonment would be a
sufficient punishment for the man he
believes melted the death OF Herman
Rosenthal in front OF the Hotel Metro
pole in 1912.
Gov. whitman himself will decide the
case. He will not dodge responsibility
by leaving The state and letting Lieut.
Gov. Edward Schoeneck hear the APP
plication for clemency, he let II be
known to-day. and he cannot stand aside
while in the State and let the Lieu

Frank was not sent out to do hard work

frail and wasted from his stay In the
Atlanta Jail and the worry over his

Martial Law Prevails Around

Spared Franks Life.
no TROUBLE IN ATLANTA

ArLANTA. June 22.-Two %battallons OF
infantry and n troop OF Horse Guards
emained on duty to-day and tonight at
COY. Slaton's home on Peachtree road.
Martial law prevailed within a radius OF
half a mile OF the home and n tented
city was thrown up.
Gordon of infantrymen has been
thrown about the Governors home and
The members of the Horse Guards are
n,trolling the roads in the vicinity.
Martial law Is strictly enforced and no
one is allowed TO pass the lines unless
no is properly vouched for.
The Governor issued the proclamation
establishing martial law, and It Is said
10 be the first time in the history Of the
United States that a Chief Executive
has been forced to issue such a procla-
nation in behalf OF himself. Gov.
slaton himself called attention to this
in a humorous way.
While there is a warlike appearance
about the Slaton home there is no
enemy in sight, md there has been none
since o'clock this morning. when the

besleging the Governors home vanished

FOR an hour this morning over the roads
about his estate. accompanied by twenty

Even on the trip to the Capitol he was

hut he faces the storm of criticism with
courage.

right he said. and time will vindicate
me, When the people Of Georgia are

Atlanta was quiet to-day, but there
we're rumors that a great demonstration
would be made against Gov. Slaton on
saturday, when he retires from office
and Judge Nat f. Harris Is ~inaugurated.
II is stated that many delegations are

ration. but really to engag In a demon
~s,ration against Gov. S1aton.
A notable feature of the outbursts Is
that they have been directed exclusively
at Gov. Slaton. 1t was charged that
there was much prejudice against the
Jews in Atlanta because of Frank, but
no Jew has beer molested since the
demonstrations began.
Reports from all over the State to-
day indicated that excitement had sub

proved seemed equally tired of useless

fraud and acknowledgement on the part
of Joseph II. Hoadley and his associ.
ates in connection with the affairs OF

Regarding the latter point Mr. Collins
charged that the animus back OF the suit

THE AUTOM MOBILE
BY GEORGE FITCH

TIME automobile is a rubber
tired cash separator which is
being used largely to keep
prosperous American citizens from
worrying over how to invest their
money.
There are a great many varieties
of cash separators, but the auto
mobile is by far the best. 1t can go
through an ordinarily flush citizen
in very few months and leave
very little cash in the tailings. In
fact, its work is approached in
thoroughness only by the private
yacht, the society bug and the
private school for girls.
The automobile is driven by gas
oline, assisted by water, oil, electric
ity, wind and gas, and sometimes
horses and mules. Some drivers
have also used brains with great
success, but the supply is too lin
tied to be generally adopted. If
every automobile driver were
equipped with small SET OF brains,
we would have no more accidents
which occur while car is being
driven about rs miles an hour over
the speed limit. An auto consists
of an engine T;ith IT'S parts, con-
nected by a clutch with 95 parts to
a gear box with rs parts and then
TO differential with so parts.
When all of these parts are feeling
well and are working together like
the old guard Republicans in New
York, the automobile is said to be
in good running order. However,
If any individual part of an auto
mobile is feeling convalescent, and
will not work at all, the man who
wants to sell the machine to you
secondhand will solemnly swear
that the machine will run like a
watch
Automobiles come in all sizes, in
cluding the piker size, the family
size, the bank director size, and the
fool size. A small car with only 12
condensed horses in it can be
bought for $3.50 and can be driven
over the curb and into a tree as
as big car which costs
1000 and has tires as fat as ele-
plants legs.
Automobiles are now very care
ally made and are entirely practi-
able, being used for hauling
