HIGHEST COURT
RULES AGAINST
FRANK APPEAL
Opinion in Case of Brooklyn Man
Convicted of Murder of Girl at
Atlanta Denies Habeas
Corpus Writ Asked.
PRISONERS RIGHTS PROTECTED
Justice Pitney Holds that Points
Raised Do Not Amount to De-
nial of Justice.
HOLMES AND HUGHES DISSENT

WASHINGTON, April 1s.--Leo
M. Frank, the Brooklyn man under
death sentence for the murder Of
Mary Phagan, an Atalanta factory
girl. lost another step in his big fight
for life in the supreme court of the
United States today.
In a decision to which Justices
Holmes and Hughes dissented. the
court dismissed Franks appeal from
the federal court OF Georgia, which
refused to release him on writ OF
habeas corpus. Frank contended that
alleged mob violence" at his trial
and the fact that he was absent from
the court room when the jury re-
turned its verdict had removed him
from the Jurisdiction of the courts OF
Georgia.
The majority opinion OF the
supreme court today rejects all those
contentious and declared Frank en-
joyed all his legal right in the
Georgia courts
Seemingly no other avenue of escape
from the death penalty is open TO Frank
through the courts. The state pardon
officials might relieve him.
Justice Pitney's Opinion.
Justice Pitney in the majority decision
stated that the obligation rested upon
the supreme court to look through the
form and into the very heart and sub
stance OF the matter, not only Of the
averment in Franks petition. but IN the
trial proceedings in the state court them
selves.
The petition contains a narrative OF
disorder, hostile manifestations and up.

GOVERNOR VETOES
EFFICIENCY BILL
Norton's Measure for Commission to

(From a Staff correspondent
LINCOLN, April 19.-(Special. -
After a strenuous job at signing bills
passed by the legislature, the larger
number Of which came to him In a
bunch. Governor Morehead laid aside
his pen this forenoon and declared
the job over. Three bills OF Inn
portance received the executive ap-
proval this morning, These were tho
Omaha hospital bill, the maintenance
bill and the penitentiary industrial
appropriation bill.
The Norton bill for state efficiency

ernor Morehead. The governor objects
to Inconsistencies in the bill itself and
It's encroachment on ground now occu-
pied by the board OF control One of the
real reasons for the veto. II is thought,
is that the constitutionahty OF the bin

an appropriation Of $4,000

The commission was to consist OF six
members o. the legislature, and therein
lay the objection. The constitution pro-
vides that neither members OF the leg

airy and mileage" The appropriation
was only FOR the commissions expenses.
However, II is contended by some that

The governor has exercised his veto
power very sparngly. Three measures

Spain and Great Britain and Spain and
France were distinct, although following

agreement was the removal OF any cause

Covering Cream Cans.

A great part of the value of keeping
cream cool on the farm and at the
station or creamery is lost if the
cream is exposed to the direct rays OF
the sun while being hauled from the
farm to the point of sale. Far too
few people stop to realize the impor-
lance of covering their cream cans
when bringing them in to town. Ex-
pensive jacketed cans are not nee
essity to keep the cream cool. In
summer weather just an ordinary
piece of wet burlap thrown over the
cans will keep the temperature of the
cream as much as 20 degrees below
what it would rise to if left uncovered
while being transported over the av-
erage hauling distance.

COSt ny the SCaC0 TOT the county, muSC
be made at the expense of the county
this year. Although counties have the
option of hiring local engineer or
asking the state to make the surveys,
the cost will be assessed against the
county.
The Dane county board has decided
to have the state engineers do the
work. The approximate cost will be
S23 mile in townships and s2S
mile in villages. 1t is estimated that
about rs miles will be included in the
program this year, entailing an ex-
pense of about 5000, heretofore borne
by the state. This is due to the fact
that the legislature cut the appropria-
ton for the highway commission about
$4,000 year. Forty miles were sur
veyed in the county last year.
The provision in the new law pro-
hibiting fourth-class cities from get
ing aid, will not affect Dane county,
as Stoughton did not secure any aid
last year.
The 1916 appropriation to this coun-
ty is s44,O3S, which is 81 per cent of
the amount asked for, $4,000. Last
year Dane county asked for $4,000
and got it all.
In addition to bearing the added
expense, this county suffers doubly in
that it must get along with about two
thirds of the money it asked for.
