GOV. HARRIS TO.
HAVE A CONF B
ON FRANK CASE
Will Call Officials of Two
Counties Together for
a Conference.
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 20.-Having Of
fered a reward of 81, 800 'tfor the first
three persons convicted" in connec-
ton with the lynching of Leo M.
Frank, it was announced today that
Governor Nat E. Harris would call
a conference in Atlanta of the Of
ficials of Baldwin and Cobb counties
to consider what further steps shall
be taken. The state prison farm, from
which Frank was abducted, is located
in Baldwin county while his body was
found swaying from the limb of an
oak tree near Marietta In Cobb coun-
ty.
1t has been reported that the Of
ficials of these two counties have
been at loggerheads as to which
should take the initiative in an at
tempt to bring to punishment per-
sons connected with the lynching.
| This situation has been further
complicated by more recent reports
that Frank may have been done tc
death in third county at some point
along the MilledgeviIle- Marietta high
way, the body being carried later K
the outskirts of Marietta for a more
conspicuous display. These reports
are based on the theory that daylight
fast was overtaking the lynchers ant
that they feared their plans nigh
be interfered with if they waited to,
long. IF Frank was killed before be
ing swung to the tree near Marietta
death was due to strangulation for
careful examination subsequent t
the lynching showed no bullet wound
nor any bruises that would accoun
for his taking off.
In his proclamation offering a re
ward, Governor Harris took cogniz
ance of the expressed doubt as t
where Frank met his death by sayin
he was taken from the state prison i
Baldwin county, land found dead

1t would appear that this country

Working of Censorship.

The cable censorship which is I'M
der the control of an officer of the
General Staff, deals with, roughly,
80, 600 kilograms a day. There are
$50 of these cable censors in the Unit
ed Kingdom and between 800 and 400
in other parts of the Empire.
THE postal censorship has staff of
about 500, mainly civilians. For OBJ
vious reasons it is impossible to give a
list of persons whose letters are not
liable to censorship, but I may men
ton that all letters addressed to either
House of Parliament pass uncensored.
THE Press Bureau proper is under
the control of the Solicitor General,
and there are about fifty assistants,
naval military, and civilian. The
censorship is carried on in accordance
with instructions from the War Office,
the Admiralty. the Foreign Office, and
other public departments.
"a White Paper will later be issued
dealing with the Censorship.

eminent or of the individual members

reference to financial, commercial and
transportation questions Each coun-

details there should be furnished the
basis for a better understanding and
methods devised for overcoming the

which naturally does not please the
French leaders, particularly General
Joffre who thinks that their equip
ment is sufficient for the needs, and
to the French idea of thrift. OF course,
however, the work which the Amerl-
cans are trying to do is very greatly
appreciated by the majority OF the
people, and will be more and more ap-
preciated as time goes on.
Granville Barker's presentation of
the Iphigenia in Tauris of Euripides
last Saturday in the Yale bowl marks
another milestone in the history OF the
Yale Dramatic association. This was
the first performance in America OF
one of Mr.. Barker's open air produc-
tons, and consequently a dramatic
event of the first Importance. The
most optimistic could not foreSee that
10, 600 people would really make the
trip to the bowl to witness a. Greek
play. The acting was Of the unusual
ly high character which Is significant
of all of Granville Barkers produc-
tions. Miss LdItah Mccarthy, as Ipht-
genia, led the cast of metropolitan
actors, her remarkable voice and the
materially to the success of the per-
Torrance. The costumes, though they
were unusual and might even be con-
sidered as terrifying, were extremely
appropriate. and have been pro-
nounced perfect by many of the cos
tune experts of the country. Professor
Smith of Yale composed the music,
which proved an excellent substitute
for the Greek compositions, of which
very little is known. Mr.. Barker stat
ed the greatest difficulty that was
necessary to overcome was that OF the
acoustics, which he considered too
good A great amount of care was
taken that the actors should not speak
too loud. The simple way in which
the lines were written rendered the
play very easy to understand. The
success of the first attempt at out OF
door theatricals in the bowl will I'M
doubtedly encourage other similar
productions in the years to come.
Pictures of Yale buildings are plen-
tiful enough. In one form or another
from the postcards to the old-fashion-
ed steel engravings, Yale's architect
ural successes and failures have often
been reproduced. However, during the
past week there have appeared at 9
number of the art stores in the city a
series of remarkable etchings by Hue
LuquienS. Mr.. LuQuiens, who has woC
a reputation both for his etchings ano
his portraits, made last summer this
series of etchings which have just
been published. They include studies
| of both the old and the new buildings
on the campus and throughout Shelf

cessful in choosing his points of view

WOULD MEAN SACRIFICING
RIGHTS.

In view of the claims that have been
made that passengers should not have
entrusted their lives to a ship like
the Lusitania which was carrying am
munition and contraband, It has been
proposed henceforth that transatlantic
liners seek to overcome that situation
by refusing to carry any contraband
on the passenger vessels, and vice
versa. Such, it is pointed out, would
be only what the American line has
done in refusing to carry contraband
but it is to be remembered that the
American line is strictly engaged in
neutral trade, and thus has every rea-
son for refraining from carrying con-
traband. It also sees the opportunity
to develop it's business through such
declaration.
The separation of passengers and
contraband traffic might be a good
suggestion, but for the fact that it
would mean the abandonment Of a
right which the nations of the world
have given to merchant vessels that
are unarmed. There is provided a
method for handling such vessels
which carry contraband under the law
of the nations and it does not sanction
the unwarned torpedoing of the ships
or the taking of the lives of neutrals
or even non-combatants
To put into effect such a plan would
also mean to a certain degree an ac-
acknowledgement that the submarine pol
icy of the Germans is right, a fact
which cannot and will not be done. Ex-
cept for the fact that it would mean
the sacrificing of rights to which every
nation including Germany, is entitled
the suggestion might be looked upor
as one worthy of adoption for the con-
tribution to safety.

LACK OF LAW ENFORCEMENT.

It does not require much effort to
demonstrate the harm or the loss
which occurs daily through the lack
of enforcement of the law. The cry
for new legislation is persistent1y heard
but as a matter Of fact it is pretty
poor use which is made Of much of
that which already exists.
Before a convention of the New
York State Association of Weights and
Measures an exhibition of short weight
amounting to two cents a pound on
coffee was made whereby there was
represented q. loss of 100000, 900 a year
to the households of the state figuring
all weights on that basis. Such, how
ever, would not hold true for all deal
ers are not engaged in cheating their
customers but just how extensive the
practice is only those who make a
point of keeping tabs on such matters
can tell. That the amount by which
the people of that state are swindled
each year through short weights and
measures runs well into the millions
is not too much to believe, and it is
a scheme which goes on wherever
there is the least inclination to laxity
in the enforcement of the law or an
unwiIiingness to prosecute.
With law existing in that regard
it is important that it should be lived
up to. 1t is only right that those mer-
chants who are treating their trade
with honest weights should get pro-
lection. They are concerned as much
as the householder and wherever there
is a disposition to overlook such in
fractions of the law there is need for
a proper prod being applied to the
officials who are tolerant of those con-
ditions. Dishonesty and misrepresen-
tation have no justified claim.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Adults Who Litter the Streets.

Mr.. Editor: With all due respect to
the City Beautiful committees, may l
suggest that they make an appeal to
the adult offenders who litter the
streets?
The school children are taught ten
months in the year to care properly
for papers, fruit skins and other refuse.
Teachers are continually (not merely
once in the Year, urging and encourag-
ing pupils to keep home and school
grounds in order. We think the ma
Jority of the children are careful, more
so than their elders, on the streets.
On thickly populated streets leading
to one school the condition of the
streets was noted this morning in an
effort to see in what manner school
children had contributed to the disor-
der.
There was disorder, a plenty, but not
sign of school paper, candy bag or
other bit of refuse which seemed to
have come from children's hands. With
| the exception of one tin can, a corn
flakes box and a newspaper, the mis-
placed refuse consisted entirely OF
cigarette boxes or papers, tobacco bags
ttnfoil and match boxes.
Were the children guilty in that
neighborhood? And ought we to ex-
pect and ask them to pick up tobacco
containers and other dirty refuse fol-
which they are not responsible?
Why shouldn't the city keep the
streets clean? Why should business
men-even policemen and other city
offfcials-expect children to be care
full, when they set such a poor ex-
ample?
Any day on any street men may be
| seen throwing torn letters and cigar
cite boxes into the roadway, ever
within hands reach of the refuse cans
1t is discouraging to children to find
| grown ups so careless.
Therefore, won't the committee make
| a special appeal to the adult population
| to avoid littering the streets, as wei
| as to clean them next week? And is
| it too much to expect that some day
| we will have a street cleaning depart,
ment so efficacious that every weel
will be cleanup week with them?

The average load of big construc-

Nearly $4,000 such trains would be

To cut the Panama Canal took thir-
| teen years and cost over SIS, 0o0, 900
