Tax Collections Are Behind.

IaA GOAlcCJIOnS f1Tc OOAAAANs
Because of the fact that Georgia is
fully 100000 behind in the collec-
ton of taxes Governor Slaton has
found it necessary to temporarily
curtail the payment Of special appro-
priations authorized last year by the
legislature, which must be paid by
May 1st.
Notices to that effect have been
sent to the Georgia School of Tech
nology, the State Sanitarium at Mil
ledgeville, the Normal and Indus
trial School at Milledgeville, and the
State Normal College at Athens, spe-
cial appropriations for which are in
volved.
Some parts of these appropriations
have been disbursed, but the govern

taxes forced him to withhold remain

has paid $275,SO5.

FRANKS APPEAL TO
BE ARGUED TO-DAY
His Attorneys Admit That He can
Be Held For Another Trial IL the
Death Sentence Is Set Aside


WASHINGTON, D. C.-Attorneys
for Leo NJ. Frank, sentenced to death
for the murder of Mary Phagan, the
Atlanta factory girl, filed in the SUI
preme court Saturday briefs in
Franks appeal from the Georgia
federal courts refusal to release him
in a habeas corpus proceeding. The
appeal will be argued Wednesday.
Franks attorneys contend in their
briefs that the trial court lost juris-
diction by abdicating its functions
from fear of mob violence, and by ar
ranging for Frank to remain out OF
court when the verdict was announc-
ed. For the first time, the attorneys
declare, Frank does not contend ne
cannot be held for new trial If the
present death sentence is set aside.

RFITH RATE IN UNITED STATES
IN 1918 LOWER Than IN 1912

constituting ga per cent of the total
for males.
Fewer Deaths From Tuberculosis.
The death rate from tuberculosis
(all forms) declined from 1895 per
100000 population in 1912 to 1915
in 1913. The rate from this cause
shows continuous, though irregular,
decline from year to year since 1904.
Deaths From Cancer Increasing.
On the other hand, there has been
an almost continuous increase from
year to year since 1900 in the death
rates from cancer, organic heart dis
eases and endocarditis, nephritis and
bright's disease. The most marked
increase for any one of the most i'm
portant IL causes of death was that
in the rate for cancer, which rose
from So per 100000 population in
1900 to 1873 in 1918, and in only
two cases did the rate for any year
between 1900 and 1913 show a de-
crease as compared with the preced-
Ing year.
Suicides and Violence.
There were 1888 suicides in the
registration area during the year
1913, the rate being 1873 per 1907
900 per 100000
900 population, slight decrease
as compared with 1912, when the
rate was Is.
In .the registration area there were
deaths from violence, including hon.
icide and legal execution, but ex-
Guiding suicide, corresponding to a
death rate of 92.5 per 100000 popu-
lation. This rate shows considera-
BILE increase as compared with that
for 1912, which was $50.
Deaths by Automobiles and Horses.
That the automobile, in spite of
the rapidity with which it has come
into general use, is still less deadly
than the horse might be inferred
from the fact that the mortality in
cident to it's operation was less in
1913 than that chargeable, directly
and indirectly to mans faithful but
sometimes erratic friend. During the
year the number of deaths resulting
from automobile accidents and in
iuries was 2,4S8, while the number
due to injuries and accidents caused
by other vehicles, principally horse
drawn, was 1881, and the number
caused by animals, principally
horses, was $40. The corresponding
figures for 1912 were 1883, 2,221
and 543.
Deaths due to railway accidents
and injuries, during the year, num-
bered 1912, and those resulting from
street car accidents and injuries
1898. The corresponding figures
for 1912 were 5000 and 1882. For
the first time the number of fatalities
due to automobile accidents and in
juries exceeds the number resulting
from injuries caused by vehicles and
also exceeds the number due to street
car accidents.

minutes elapsed between the time the
three men entered the bank, thrust
pistols through the grating and the
time the trio left the bank with the
money.
The bandits made their getaway
in a Borrowed automobile. The
car had just been bought and the
owner had left it standing on the
street one hour before the robbery
took place. In making their escape
the three men attracted the attention
of passersby along the route they
chose because of the terrific speed
with which the car was driven. After
having negotiated numerous turns
the bandits abandoned the automo-
bile at a distance of fifteen blocks
from the bank, and there it was
found after several hours of search
ing on the part of detectives, police
men and deputy sheriffs.
So far no clew to the identity OF
the bandits has been discovered. Mr..
Randall said that he would probably
be unable to identify them if they
were brought before him. Each Of

he thought they were amateurs, as
they conducted their operations in

Mr.. Randall was liberated from the

his fists and shouting through the

AGED MAN ENDS LIFE

PHILADELPHIA, March 14.-Ratber
than return to life of crime, Fred
Cassman, according to letters found in
his room; committed suicide today at a
hotel here, where he had been a guest
for about a month. Cassman who was
so years DID,, said in one of the letters
that up to 20 years ago, his career had
been one of petty crimes and that he
had reformed as the result of 20 lashes
given him at the whipping post in New
Castle, DEL, 1895. OF this crime he
said he was innocent, but the circum-
stantial evidence was so strong that he
had been convicted.
From that time until a few months
ago, the letter went on, he had been in
business in the West After the death
of his wife and son he returned to this
city. A few days ago he had met
some of his companions of former
days and fearing their influence would
lead him back to his old life he had de-
cided to end it all. His body was found
hanging by rope from the ceiling of
his apartment.
Cassman registered at the hotel as
John Bradlet of Wilmington, Del, but
in the letters he stated that name was
fictitious.
It was stated here last night that
Cassman or Bradlet, who killed himself
in Philadelphia hotel yesterday had
written a letter TO Warden Leonard
Crawford at the workhouse about a
week ago telling him of his life OF crime
and asking the warden if he would give
him 25 lashes at the post at the war
denis convenience. He gave him a
code by which to make known his re-
ply and this answer was to have been
printed in an evening newspaper. When
the wOrkhouse WIS reached by tele-
phone late last night Warden Crawford
had retired. The night Warden said
that he had heard that such letter
had been received but he did not know
any of the details of the case. Whether
Warden Crawford made reply to the
strange request was not learned.
Cassmau or Bradlet is not known
here.
