one and the offender deserves the
punishment of death. The only ques-
ton is as to the identity of the crimi-
nal. The responsibility is upon the
people of Georgia to protect the lives
of her citizens and to maintain the
dignity of her laws, and IL the choice
must be made between the citizens of
other states and the enforcement of
our laws against offenders we must
choose the latter alternative.
1T is charged that the court and
Jury were terrorized by mob and
that the jury were coerced into their
verdict.
During the progress of the trial,
the statement continued, latter evil
dence had been introduced laying the
crime with many offensive details upon
Frank, the feeling against him became
intense. If the audience i'll
the courtroom manifested their deep
resentment toward Frank, 1t was
largely by this evidence of feeling be-
yond the courts power to correct. 1t
would he difficult for an appellate
court or a trial court to grant new
trial in such long case because the
audience in the courtroom on a few
occasions Indicated tneF SSnpa-
thieS,
"The jury found the defendant guilty
and with exception of the demon
stTation outside the courtroom there
was no disorder. Nothing was done
which the courts could correct through
legal machinery"
The Governor pointed out that the
United States Supreme Court has sus-
tanned this ruling. He declared the
charge against the state of Georgia of
racial prejudice was unfair. He then
reviewed the evidence. He asserted
the state proved that Frank was in his
Office at the factory a little after -
o'clock the day of the murder and that
he admitted paying Mary Phagan
wages due her. So far as known, he
says, Frank was the last person who
saw her alive.
THE most startling testimony was
that given by a negro. Jim Conley,'
the statement says. He then referred
to the murder notes found beside
the body. which Conley admitted he
wrote at Franks dictation. Conley
claimed Frank asked him to come to
the factory on Saturday and watch for
him. as he had done before. He ex-
planned that Frank intended to meet
some woman. The Governor saws:
"Conley occupied q place beside the
elevator behind some boxes"

report, but declined on account of
business reasons to say from whom
the order was obtained. He admitted,
however, that it was from Europe
Mr.. King intimated that to reveal the
source of the order might affect the
landing of some future contracts for
his company.
At the Middletown plant 260 men
are now at work and this number, it
is understood, will be greatly in
creased. The plant has recently been
improved and enlarged by the addition
of nearly q half million dollars worth
of improvements. This new order will
bring prosperity to Middletown for the
remainder of the summer.
Through the foresight of President
King, the Middletown Car company
has built up a considerable trade in
South America. Many cars built in
Middletown are now running the rails
in Mexico, Brazil, Chile, Argentine
Republic and other South and Central
American countries.
In a recent exclusive interview in
The Telegraph, Mr. King called at
tention to the big field in the south
and also declared that American busi-
nessmen could look with profit to-
wards Russia. The return of his son,
George /. King, from the land of the
Czar a few days ago may mean that
the Middletown company has entered
this new field.

WARDEN'S WIFE DEAD
IN HER BLAZING BED
"Irusty," Product of Illinois
Prison Honor System Held
as Murder Suspect

Joliet ILL.,, June 21.-A negro trusty,
q product of the Honor system"
among convicts at the State peniten-
tiary, was held in solitary confine-
ment to-day pending investigation of
the murder of Mrs. e. NJ. Allen, wife
of the prison warden, whose body,
fearfully burned. was found on blaz-
ing bed in her apartments yesterday.
Joseph Campbell. convicted of kill
ing negro in Chicago five years ago
and sentenced to serve an indetermin-
ate sentence of from one year to life,
was the convict under guard. So far
as is known, Campbell. chosen as
the Aliens personal servant under the
honor system. is the last person to
have seen Mrs.Allen alive. Campbell is
one of the five trusted convicts who
had access to the warden's apart
ments.
Officials believe Mrs. Allen was burn
ed to death as she lay unconscious
on her bed as her skull had been frac-
tured by a blow, which physicians
say had not caused her death. Evil
dence already given indicated that the
slayer had sprinkled the bedding and
Mrs. Aliens night clothing with al
cohol before touching a match to 1t.
Pieces of a jug which had contained
the liquid was found scattered near
the bed.
The fire, which was confined to the
bed, apparently had blazed for several
minutes before it was discovered.
Warden Allen was in West Baden,
Ind, when the murder was commit
ted. He was to be Joined by Mrs. AL
len to-day.
Mrs. Allen before her marriage five
years ago, was Miss Odette Maize Bor-
deaux, a comic opera favorite. She
was member of the original Merry
Widow" company. She took an ac-
tive part in the affairs of the prison
and her influence did much towards
establishing the honor system
Campbell told the committee the
following story:
Warden Allen left for West Baden,
Ind, last night About o'clock this
morning Mrs Allen called me and
asked for the morning papers, which
l got. Then 1 placed some ice water
by the bed in which she lay and took
her pet dog outdoors. as I do every
morning. When | returned l saw
smoke issuing from the Allen apart
ments on the third floor. John Simp-
son and another trusty were trying
to fight their way through the smoke
in Mrs. Aliens room. We called the
prison fire department"
The condition of the body prevented
a satisfactory examination to deter
mine whether Mrs. Allen had been at
tackled previously to the fire, but two
members of the committee said that
Campbell probably would be charged
with numbering Mrs. Allen.

But Youngsters VIII Hear Boom!
Boom! of Gunpowder Just
the Same

Steeltons big independence Day
celebration, although 1t will be one of
the most elaborate ever attempted in
the borough, will be of the safe and
sane nature-exceedingly so.
Burgess Fred Wigfield this morning
called attention to the borough ordi-
nance of June 6. 1910, which prohibits
the sale, storage or discharge of any
fire works whatever except by spe-
cial permit from council or the
burgess. The provisions of this ordi-
nance, the burgess says, will be en-
forced.
The borough's enthusiastic small
folks, however, will not be denied the
pleasure of hearing the bang, bang
of giant crackers, the flare of rockets
or the glare of colored Fights, for the
borough council has appropriated 500
for a pyrotechnic display on Cottage
Hill. To this amount the Merchants
Association has added a considerable
sum-so lovers of the "old fashioned"
July Fourth celebration will not be
disappointed.
The danger only will be eliminated.

When the subject takes the stand to

Southdown Is Good Breed.

This is not enough. The breeding eve should secure more feed than maintenance requires if she is to do we'll for her owner-she must be con- tinually gaining in flesh.
 Probably the greatest damage re- sulting to eve on account of a rain is the discomfort that follows the wetting. Think how unpleasant it is to work in wet clothes! How much worse 1t is. therefore, for the eve who is naturally of a tender nature, to undergo the discomfort resulting from carrying around damp fleece. In the summer time when it is warm 1t is bad enough, but in the winter it is awful
 The fleece, being very dense, it is days before the water will entirely evaporate. Then the greatest amount of the evaporation is caused by the heat of the animals body.
 Just try to think of the heat neces- sary to evaporate the large amount of water that thoroughly saturated fleece would hold. Many sheep have caught colds from this very cause that resulted in inflammation, even worse, catarrh.
 Rheumatism Is often one of the re- suits and sheep once the victim of this disease is of very little value.
 What, then, is the remedy? It is simple. Provide your sheep with dry shelter close to their pasture. It need not be costly barn. A shed is plenty good enough provided it is water tight, and it need not be especially warm If 1t is only dry.

PICKED UP IN POULTRY YARD
Bantams More Than Pay for Keep In Number of Eggs They Lay-Ail-
 ments Spread Rapidly.

Many persons are of the opinion that bantams, because of their small size, are valuable only for ornamental purposes. They are mistaken, how ever, for while they are rather too small for table use, they will more than pay for their keep in the num- Der of eggs they lay.
 For those who do not have much room for poultry bantams are excel lent chickens. They thrive well in close confinement; flock of a dozen can be kept in yard ten feet square, and a good-sized dry goods box will serve as a house.
 They are small feeders, yet the fe- males will produce on an average 100 eggs each year, and the eggs are al most as large as those laid by some strains of Leghorns.
 Don't let disease of any kind get start in your flock. As soon as any disease appears, isolate the affected birds in coop kept for that special purpose. or, if the cases are very bad and the birds are not of special value use the hatchet and destroy the bodies.
 An ailment will spread rapidly, hence better sacrifice a few fowls at the start than run the risk of losing many. Disease is sometimes intro duced into flock of birds that have been purchased at other places, so care should always be used in purchas- ing additional stock.
 Everyone who has ever had experi- ence with poultry knows that cleanli- ness is absolutely imperative if the flock is to prove profitable.
 Fowls will do something toward bal ancing their own rations, and they will take more or less exercise if they have the chance. But they cannot rid their quarters of filth and vermin. No doubt, however, but that the fowls on many farms would be glad if they could perform such work. It would be done then.
 The development of the cold storage business in eggs has made it difficult for city people to secure fresh eggs, or good quality eggs, therefore there is a good business for the farmer.
