THE SCANDAL
STIRS THE STATE
Governor Will Rigidly Inves-
tigate the Lynching
of Leo Frank

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. l9.--Strred by crit
icism for the existence of conditions
which made the lynehing OF Leo NJ. Franz
possible, Governor Nat Il. Harris yester
day afternoon declared he would see tx
it that the lynchers were exposed anc
FURNISHED.
This shocking affair" said the gov.
ernor, will be probed to the bottom.

took hand in the lynching and bring
them to justice"
Bitter recriminations and charges and
counter charges against various state Of
fcials were yesterdays aftermath of the
| lynehing The state faces the most dis
graceful scandal in its history as re-
| suit of the tragic denouement of the
case.
Although Governor Harris has an
nouneed that he personally will head the
inquiry into the lynehing and bring the
guilty parties to book, other prominent
citizens both in Atlanta and Marietta
openly scoff at any attempt to prosecute
the members OF the lynching party.
Defenders OF the hanging of Frank as
sert that the identity of the men who
dragged Frank by the heels from the
prison farm ON Monday night and whirled
him away to his death near Marietta,
the home of Mary Phagan, while known
to many business men and probably to
many officials also, will never be dis
closed to those who might bring them to
justice.
1t is common report that the lynching
was carefully and deliberately planned
weeks in advance and that substantial
citizens of Marietta were fully aware OF
what was going on and secretcly con-
nived at the conspiracy which many
others characterize as the greatest dis
grace in Georgia's history"
In the general criticism of conditions
that made the lynehing possible, Gov
ernor Harris has not escaped. The grav
est fault found has been in the governors |
action in leaving the capital to make a |
speech at the state encampment of Con. |
federate veterans before the news OF the |
lynehing reached the city, indeed, but |
after it was known Frank had been kid

State Health Board Interested

The State Board of Health is not
only interested in Frederick's NUM-
cipal peach orchard which probably
will yield an income of about $1,000
this year, but recommends the de-
cipal water sheds providing the pro-
per sanitary precautions are used.
Chief Engineer Robert B. Morse, of
the State Board of Health has inclos-
ed a newspaper clipping in a letter
to the Engineering News, of New York
commenting on the scheme.
The following letter was received
by Mayor Fraley yesterday from En-
gineer Morse:
Herewith is enclosed copy of a
letter to the Engineering News, COM
menting upon the plan of making
municipal watersheds yield a revenue
from fruit raising, as pointed out in
the case of Frederick"
Here is a copy of the letter from
Engineer Morse to the Engineering
News:
"The enclosed clipping from the
Baltimore Sun of July 81, indicating
that the city of Frederick, Maryland,
will receive revenue of approXima-
tely $1,000 this year from the crop of
peaches grown on the watershed
yielding the city water supply is
rather interesting.
"It seems to me that proper sani-
try precautions are observed during
the harvest season, many water sheds
under municipal ownership might be
made with safety to yield consider
able amounts of revenue from fruit
raising"
An article relative to the revenue
to be derived from these orchards was
first printed in The Frederick Post
last week.

Doing Increased Business.

In spite of a general country wide
business depression which has effected
both business and financial circles to
some extent, the fiscal year report of
the Hagerstown and Frederick Rail-
way company submitted yesterday by
President Emory l.. Coblentz, at the
semi-annual meeting of the board of
directors showed a very satisfactory
increase of business. The statement
showed an increase in earninN in all
departments of the company, More es-
pecially in that of the electric de-
partment. The company has under
contract additional power business
which will produce estimated revenues
which should double the receipts for
that particular source.
The past year marked some extern
sive changes in the management of
the company. There was a general
movement to cut down operating ex-
penses at the same time to increase
the scope of the company's business
field. Both schemes were successful.
Not only were expenses cut to con-
siderable extent but there was a very
satisfactory increase in revenue of the
company
G. Lloyd Palmer, superintendent of
the schools of Frederick county, was
yesterday afternoon elected to the
directorate of the company to take
the place made vacant by the death
of DR.. T. E. R. Miller. Mr. Palmer is
a brother-in-law of the late DR.. Mil

New Taxable Property.

The members of the board of al
dermen sitting as a board of revi-
sion and appeals during the past week
ferreted out new taxable property
that resulted in a net gain in the
city's tax basis, fixed by the board of
intermediate assessors, of $16,100.
New property added to the books of
the city by the board of intermediate
assessors was $127,022.19.
OF the $4,000 automobiles made up
large proprotion. 1t was shown at
the final session on Saturday even
ing that some persons had owned au-
tomobiles for about 10 years and had
never paid taxes on their machines
to the city
The board went over the city with
a fine tooth comb in an effort to place
all available property on the city's
books for taxation.
While the aldermen will make a
desperate effort to cut the tax rate
of $1.10 it is stated that some Jug
Cling of figures will be necessary to
keep the rate from soaring. The en-
forcement of the household furni-
ture exemption act" is responsible
for the inability of the members of
the board of aldermen to cut the
citys tax rate to any extent if at
all.
The city's tax rate will probably
be fixed within the next three weeks.
1t was announced on Saturday even
ing that in all likelihood the aldermen
would meet to transact this business
on the evening of August IS, which is
the rugular prescribed meeting night
of the city council.

Frederick Share Under $500.

Montgomery county's share of the
automobile license fund, distributed
according to the member of miles Of
state-aid road in the counties of the
state, will be about $1,000 this year,
Frederick county's share will prob
ably will be less than $500. There is
less than two miles of state-aid road
in this county.
The Incense money collected by the
Motor Vehicle commission is divided
proportionately among the counties of
the state according to the number Of
miles Of state-aid road. The state
gets so per cent of the money, Balti-
more city 20 per cent, and 30 per cent
is divided among the counties Of the
state.

Students to Have Contest.

J The board of managers of the
Frederick fair held a meeting on Sat
urday at which considerable business
was transacted in connection with the
approaching fifty-fifth annual fair,
which will this year be held on Oc-
tober 10, 20, 21 and o. Although the
fair is nearly three months in the
future the prospects are that this
years exhibition will equal any here
tofore held, if one is to judge fr IN
the number of inquiries that are daily
coming to the secretary for informa a.
tion as to space for exhibits and fer
concessions.
At the meeting Saturday one Of the
most important matters agreed upon
was that of holding a students con-
test in judging dairy cattle. Prof.
Sydney S. Stabler, agricultural in
structor at the Boys High School in
Frederick, addressed a letter to the
fair managers setting forth the ad
yantages accruing from such a con-
test, and urging its adoption as a
new and attractive feature of the fair
The managers, in line with their usual
liberal and progressive policy, read
lily assented and adopted what Pro
lessor Stabler proposed, and appro-
priated $1O0 to be distributed in prizes
il this contest.
This students contest in judging
cattle will be open to agricultural
students of all the high schools in the
State of Maryland There are about
Is such schools in the State and it is
confidently believed that fully hun
dred students will enter the contest
The judging will be under the super
vision of the Extension Department of
the Maryland Experiment Station, and
the judge will be an official of the
dairy division of the United States
Agricultural Department.
There will be Is prizes awarded to
Is young men of Maryland, who shall
prove themselves the best judges of
the points of the different types OF
dairy cattle, which will include the
Holstein, Jersey, Ayrshire and Guern-
sey breeds. There will be three prizes
awarded for each of the four breeds,
the first prize being $40, the second,
5, and the third, $3.50. In addition
there will be three sweepstake prizes,
the first $15, the second $40 and the
third $5. For several years past a
similar contest has been held at the
Laurel fair, in which not only high
school students participated, but the
freshmen and sophomore classes of
the Maryland Agricultural College al
so completed. In 1914 Professor Stab
Ter took 19 boys of the Frederick High
School to the Laurel fair where they
participated in the Judging of dairy
cattle, and one of the Frederick boys
captured second prize. BY reason
of their training the Maryland Agri-
cultural College students carried off
the bulk Of the prizes in the Laurel
contest, only two of the Is awarded
going to high school students.
The contest to be held at the Fred
erick fair, it will be noted, is open
only to high school students, and is
the first contest of the kind that has
been restricted to farmers sons who
must depend upon our public schools
for their, education.
