SOUTH WALES COAL STRIKERS REFUSE ID
 RETURN ID WORK
Industries Being Hampered by Coal Shortage With No Probability of Adjust
 ment in Sight

London. July 17.--Members of the ex- ecutive council of the South Wales Coal Miners organization who came to London to confer with President Runciman of the Board of Trade have returned to Cardiff having found 1t impossible to reach . basis for new negotiations in the coal dis pute. There is now no hope of the mon returning to work before the middle of next week, if they do then. Already some industries In South Wales are being ham, pered by coal shortage.
 Besides their original terms, of which the principal demand was a per cent raise in wages. the men now insist on the cancellation of the royal proclamation bringing miners under the mo strIkes'' act. Meantime the tribunal set up under this measure Is preparing to act, and un- less the meeting of miners delegates at Cardiff Monday to receive the report of the executive council shows some sign of compromise. the tribunal will begin ses- sions to try the men guilty of striking.
 Steps are being taken to conserve coal supplies. Neutral steamers will be al- lowed only sufficient coal to carry them to their first port.

 Pankhurst

London, July 17.-(9:o5 p. m)-Fifty thousand English women gathered on Victoria embankment today and paraded through the streets with banners fly ing to demonstrate their enthusiastic desire to be enlisted in the service of the country.
 the minister of munitions, accompanied by Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, the suf- fragist leader, appeared on a platform overlooking the embankment along which the procession made It's way.
 MT. Lloyd George had received a oeputation headed by Mrs. Pankhurst who said 1t was a crime for men to be doing work which could be performed by women.
 In response to cries for a speech the to utilize the services of everyone pre- pared to assist and declared that vic" tory would eventually be won. There were dark clouds looming in the east, but he looked to the indomitable cour- age of Russia to meet this hurricane. The clouds would scatter and the hur- ricane would disperse. Russia would emerge once more, formidable and deadly, to help the great democratic countries in the west achieve a great victory for the freedom of Europe"
 The people of England. said the min ister. were panting to help; they had panted 12 months behind, tc catch the foe who had been preparing for years, but they would catch him.

q GUESS THEY'VE GOT ME-" SAYS FRANK AS DOCTORS REACH HIM
Franks Jugular Vein Is Severed, But Neither Spinal Cord Nor Wind pipe Is Injured

Milledgeville, Ga, July 17.-Leo
 M. Frank, whose death sentence
 for the murder of Mary Phagan
 recently was commuted to life
 imprisonment, was attacked by
 another prisoner at the state
 prison farm here tonight and seri-
 ously injured by being cut in the
 throat.
 Prison officials said that the attack on Frank was made by William Green, who also is serving a life term for murder. Franks recovery is said to be doubtful,
 The attack on Frank. which was made shortly after Il o'clock, was made from behind Franks jugular vein was cut. but neither the spinal cord nor wlndpipe were injured.
 The attack on Frank was made In ths dormitory, which all the prisoners occu- py in common at night All lights were out at the time. Green Is alleged to have had the knife secreted in his prison cloth ing with which he attacked Frank
 So quick was the attack that no guard had time to interfere. Frank fell back ward to the floor. uttering a cry of pain, the lights were quickly switched on and the guards saw him prostrate upon the floor, blood squirting from his wounds. while a prisoner was trying to make his way back to his bed.

USE KNIFE
 MADE FROM FILE

knife that had been made of a file and which the convicts had used in kill ing hogs during the day was found on the dormitory floor How the knife was smuggled into the prison is a mystery
 Dr. George B. Compton. the prison sur geon, was immediately called but before he could reach the prison dormitory, two surgeons who are serving terms in prison were at Franks side administering first aid
 T guess they've got me-" Frank is quoted as having said to the doctors when they reached him. He did not lose con sciousness.
 Frank was removed to the operating room in the hospital department of ths prison, where the wound was dressed. The physicians had not succeeded in stopping the flow of blood and Frank is growing weaker.
 Prison officials who had been with tho doctors during the operation stated that Frank had a chance to recover but that his condition was very serious.
 Frank was brought to the state prison farm in the early morning of June 21, after a midnight trip from the Fulton county Jail in Atlanta, by train to Ma con, Ga, and thence by automobile to the prison.
 A few hours after his arrival here it was officially announced that the then Governor Slaton had commuted his sen. tence to life imprisonment.
 Frank always has insisted that he would in time prove that he was innocent of the charge of having murdered Mary Phagan.
 Less than week ago the state militia companies here and at Macon were or dered held in their armories a report having reached the state officials that an attempt would be made to force an en- trance to the state prison. remove Frank and lynch him.

SPENDS FIRST WEEK LAYING IFS PRED|CATES FOR
 ACTION IN FUTURE
Important Political Devel- Opments Have Followed
 Since State Lawmakers Met in Session Tuesday
By HUGH ". ROBERTS

Montgomery, July 16.-tSpccialo
 The features of the first weeks ses-
 sion of the legislature, The submission
 by the three recess committees of their
 reports and bills, the practical abnn- donment by the legislature of its appointive power. the development of indications which seem to make certain the passage of the administration bond issue amendment, the development of dications leading to the belief that the "Iobby" which directed legislature last winter has lost it's cunning and It's power, the serious consideration given
 by the prohibition press to the Mer- ritt assassination hoax, and the deyel- opmcnt of the fact that members of the
 lobby and certain more or less strong
 men of the legislature are regarded as
 candidates of the future for certain po-
 IitfcaI office.
 In other words, the first week was
 spent in laying of predicates for fu-
 ture action. There is no question but that against the three reports of the recess committees strong opposition will be developed. opposition so strong,
 as matter of fact. that there is grave doubt that some of the work
 will be sustained and enacted into law by the legislature.
 Right of Appointment The committees, as is known, would remodel and revolutionize the judiciary and taxing systems of the state, would abolish the convict lease system, and work changes in various departments of the government The indications are that the work of the taxation com mittee will escape with less criticism
 than that of any other committee. The
 judges and solicitors busted by the report of the judiciary committee are
 organizing to fight that report, and strong pressure is being brought to de-
 feat the plan of the Investigating com-
 mittee regarding the abolition of the convict lease system.
 The above subjects will be the Dig business of the legislature, that re- garding which newspapers will be re- plete each morning until the session is concluded. The matter of greatest
 human interest is that connected with the plan of certain lobbyists and mem bers of the legislature to deprive the governor of the right to appoint mem bers of the state tax commission and the convict bureau.
 In the very beginning, 1t was made evident that the lobby in this respect was destined to suffer defeat How ever, in order that they might retire in the glow of the semblance of a partial victory, the leaders conceived the idea of having the senate confirm the ap- pointments of the governor. The gov ernor, because of his willingness to have anyone or anybody pass on his executive action, consented to the plan, and it remains to be seen whether or
 not he will live to regret that he fol- lowed that course.

 In the first place, the tax commis- sion, when the report of the finance committee is adopted. will be done away with, and in it's place created a state board of equalization. It will be arranged that the governor shall

The number of baptisms during the year

The amount of money raised as Of
