London, June 22.-The announce
ment that Emperor William has as.
sumed supreme command of the OPP
erations in Galicia is interpreted here
as an indication of complete German
confidence in the final victory of the
assault on Lemberg, now regarded as
so near at hand, that the generals
who, during the last two months,
have battered their way across the
province wish the emperor to partici-
pate personally in the expected tri-
umph. Some of the claims put forward
by the Germans and Austrians TO de
cisive results have still to be sub
stantiated, but there is no question
that they have won new victories both
west and north of the Galician cap
ital
The Austro-German advance is still
progressing through the Grodek lines
west of Lemberg. The failure of the
Russians to hold these positions has
been a keen disappointment to the
British, who hoped that this strong
and selected position might furnish
another example of the resiliency OF
Emperor Nicholas forces, which has
been one of the marked features OF
the war in the East.

Success Not So Overwhelming.

II is pointed out further by British
observers that the latest Russian COM
munications hardly indicate such over
whelming success as their opponents
claim, although it is admitted that the

Gus outbreak-Executive Says He
Would Be Murderer If He Permit
ted Hanging.
Atlanta, Ga, June 22.-Leo NJ.
Franks death sentence has been COM
muted to life Imprisonment by Gov
ernor Slaton.
cision came several hours after Frank
had been taken secretly from the Jail
here and hurried to the state prison
farm at Milledgeville.
Frank was sentenced to be hanged
here today for the murder of Mary
Phagan in April, 1913.
Governor Slaton still was at his
country home when he announced his
decision. In making the announce
ment the governor dictated the fol-
lowing statement:
"All that | ask is that the people of
Georgia read my statement of the
reasons why / commuted Leon M.
Franks death sentence to life impris-
onment before they pass judgment.
Feeling rs | do about this case
would be a murderer if | allowed this
man to hang 1t means that | must
live in obscurity the rest of my days,
but | would rather be plowing in
field than TO feel for the rest of my
life that | had that mans blood on my
hands"

Governors Action Unpopular.

When early reports that Franks
sentence had been committed began
to circulate crowds began to gather
on the principal downtown street cor
ners. The arrest of a man who at
tempted to dismount a policeman by
grabbing the horses reins Stirred one
crowd to excitement and 1t followed
the officers to the city hall, a block
away.
Speakers started to harangue the
crowd from the city hall steps, but
were stopped by an extra force of
police 1t was stated that delega-
ton was coming here from Marietta,
the former home of Mary Phagan.
The first official announcement of
the governors decision was made at
S:42 a. m. Extra editions of the To-
cal newspapers containing the unofIi-
cial announcement caused consider
able excitement among many crowds
of men, who gathered on various
street corners and around the city
hall Mounted police and patrolmen
were stationed on the outskirts of
the crowd and at least one arrest was
made. Comment disappearing the de-
cision was heard in the gatherings.

Paradise For Hunters.
That hunters in Iowa would find
conditions in the north somewhat akin
to those which are supposed to exist
in the so-called hunters paradise, may
be judged from this: I'VE had two
fresh whale carcasses within mile OF
the ship at Baltic island (Cape Bat
hurst) and the bears simply fell for
them. The men on the Alaska had
killed fifteen polar bears up to Nov.
20 they had caught more than ESQ, but
their pelts mostly were dirty blush or
knowish skins, very few prime white
ones. The boys here shot four caribou
and about thirty seals. We were on
the main line of migration followed by
the caribou, which came down from
Victoria island in the fall, but the ma
tives to the north of us say that on
account of the late freezing over OF
Dolphin and Union straits, the big
herds punched UP in the fall on the
south side of Victoria Land. about
thirty miles north of us. AS the strait
did not freeze over, they moved east
along the south coast of Victoria Is
land and finally crossed Coronation
gulf to the east Of us. The Eskimos
north of us obtained plenty of caribou.
