FOR LEO M. FRANK
Ex-Governor Brown Says There Must Be
No Interference With Geor-
gia Justice.

Atlanta, Ga, June l4.--Arguments for
and against Leo Nj. Franks application
for clemency were made before Gov.
Slaton Saturday, and an adjournment
was taken until to-day to allow Solicitor
Dorsey time to prepare brief and pre-
sent oral arguments against the appli-
cation. Franks counsel will be heard
in replyA
Joseph NJ. Brown, who was governor of
Georgia when Frank was arrested for the
murder of Mary Phagan, was the princi-
pie speaker in opposition to clemency,
protesting against any overturning Of
the verdicts and judgments Of Georgia
juries and courts ION petitions Of per.
sons outside the state" In closing, he
declared: IF your excellency wishes to
invoke lynch law; if you wish to weak
en-, if not destroy, trial by jury in this
state, you can do it by reversing all the
courts decisions in the present case"
William NJ. Howard, in his opening
for Frank, said that the con
demned man would rely on the record
OF the case to convince the governor of
his innocence. Gov. Slaton asked many
questions brought out at the trial. The
governor said he wanted to ASCERTAIN

Men and women in the last four

Several shots were fired at the men

returned the fire, but no one was hit.
Officers throughout the section began

TENSION IS
LESSENED
Berlin Likes Note and the
Feeling Is Quite
Friendly
NO BREACH is
EXPECTED NOW
Lack of Expected Sabre
Rafting by Wilson Causes
a Change of Sentiment

Washington, d. c., June l4.--Official
announcement Of the delivery Of the
American note to the German govern
ment, reiterating insstence that subma-
rine warfare conform to the laws of hui
mainly and international law, was re-
ceived Saturday from Ambassador Ger
ard at Berlin. The message came at the
close of day marked by a more opti-
mistic feeling in official quarters that
the German answer would forestall any
possibility of war between the nations
and also avoid breach of diplomatic rela-
tions.
Apparently there was general relaxa-
ton of tension in the international stu
alton. President Wilson spent part of
the day at golf and let it be known that
later in the month he planned to take
short vacation at his summer home in
Cornish, N. H. No answer to the Amer
lean rejoinder is expected for ten days at
least, and there is conviction at Wash
ington that the Berlin authorities will
await the arrival there of DR.. Anton
Meyer Gerhard, official representative of
Ambassador Bernstorff, before their an
swer is framed.
The text of the American note was
published Saturday in the Berlin after
noon newspapers. A dispatch from Ber-
lin says that definite statements as to
the attitude of the German government
with respect to the note are not yet
available, but in circles which, while
themselves not officially responsible, are
often good barometers of the sentiment
in responsible quarters, the note seems
to have made distinctly favorable i'm
preston and is believed to offer the pos
sibility of negotiations on which a salts
factory settlement might be reached.
The conciliatory note of the note APP
parently had evoked a responsive atti-
.ude at Berlin. Individuals who in the
EARLIER stages of the negotiations dis
played stiff neeked adherence to their
,wn views which made discussion almost |
impossible are now willing to talk of |
in which the compromise |
would not be all on one side
The official viewpoint can probably be |
correctly appraised only after confer
noes of the imperial chancellor, DIR. Won
8ethmann Hollweg, the foreign secre.
airy, Herr van Jagow, and representa-.
ives of the army and admiralty, the
laval and general staff. The emperor,
t is believed, will speak the final word.
{ is understood that these conferences
will begin Immediately. The answer
will certainly not be drafted, and the
ines of the German policy will probably
ot be definitely decided upon before DIR.
anton Meyer Gerhard has arrived and
made his report.

EQUITABLE STOCK SOLD.
Gen. T. Coleman Du Point Now Majority
Owner

New York, June l4.-Announcement
was made Saturday that the majority
of the capital stock of the Equitable
Life Assurance society of the United
States had been sold by the executors
of the estate of the late j. P. Morgan
to Gen. T. Coleman Du Point, principal
owner of the new Equitable building in
lower Broadway. The trust under which
the stock has been voted would remain
undisturbed, ii was said. The announce
ment was made by William A. Day,
president of the society.
The announcement was confirmed in
statement issued by Gen. Du Pont. He
also confirmed suggestion that it was
his idea to cooperate with the officers
of the society in plan for complete
naturalization, the policyholders already
nominating majority of the board of
directors.
The Equitable Life Assurance society
was organized in 1859, and will have
been in business for So years on July 20.
The fire of Jan. 0, 1912, drove it from its
offices in the old Equitable building. On
April 90 of the present year, II re-
opened it's Offices at the old stand in
the new Equitable building.

BURLESON
Barre All-Stars Defeated by
. Barre A c., s to 3,
Saturday
VERMONT FRESHMAN
WAS AN ENIGMA
And Most Of Scores by De-
,feated Were Due to
Errors

The Barre Athletic club versus the
Barre All -Stars were the two teams that
were scheduled to play baseball at the
Granite City trotting park Saturday aft
ernoon, but in reality it was the Barre
A. C. versus the Goddard seminary nine.
The two teams put up a good game of
baseball, but the Athletics had the ad-
vantage over the younger boys and de-
feated them by score of 5 to 3. The
weather was good for baseball and a
crowd numbering around 800 gathered to
witness the teams in action. The new
benches that have been erected were
filed, and several spectators, of whom
many were ladies, took advantage of the
grandstand and watched the game from
there.
Burleson, a young pitcher that the
Barre A. c. piloted down from Burlington
and who has pitched several games for
the freshmen of the University OF Yer
mont this season, was the one sent to
the box for Saturdays game. Things
looked rather bad for him in the first in
ming when Common got single and
Hoernle came up with double. Witt, the
heavy Goddard slugger. was up but he
hit to Burleson, who caught Common easily
on home Two were out and with two
on bases the pitcher redeemed himself
by striking HASTE out.
After that things sailed along pretty
well for Burleson and it was mostly the
fault of costly errors by the team behind
him that the All-Stars were able to score
three runs in the fourth and fifth innings
During the whole game after the first in
ming only two safe bingles were hit out
against him by the school boys. He had
them swinging their heads off part of
the time and got IL strikeouts. His con-
troll seemed good and he walked only one
man, Morlock getting free pass in the
ninth but failed to get further than sec
ond base as the next two men struck |
out.
On the side of errors both teams were
evenly divided, each having three marks
fixed to their totals. For the All Stars
Morlock dropped an easy throw, allow
ing a man second, Keefe let the ball
through him in center field once and Con-
nor fumbled an easy fly, l.. Tonguay did
the Same in center field and G. Fowle
held the ball after stopping it at first
and allowed Witt to get safe. He could !,
easily have gotten him. as Stuart was
there waiting for it, but he became be-
wildered and held 1t until too late. Lat
err Witt scored.
