Following her arrest on the charge
of circulating obscene literature, Mrs.
Sanger was released and went to
England, where she is now working
with HavelOck Ellis and where she
prepared the pamphlet she had prom
ised her readers, the pamphlet on
birth control.
William Sanger, who is married to
''the woman rebel" took no part in
this propaganda. He is an architect
and decorator.
After his wife fed to London he re-
ceived a visit from a man who an
nOUnced himself as one of Mrs. San
gers friends, and said that she had
promised him one of the leaflets on
family limitation. Sanger said he be
ieved that his wife had taken all her
papers with her, but on the earnest
plea of his visitor consented to look
through her desk. He found one and
gave it to the friend" who had used
his wife's name.
The next time William Sanger saw

Sanger had to spend the night in Jail.
Comstock advised the young ar
chitect to plead guilty and promised
him suspended sentence if he would
make such a plea. But this Sanger
refused to do.
Following his night in Jail Sanger
was bailed out, and backed by the

POPE SAID TO HAVE DEPLORED
KAISER'S 1NHUMAN METHODS
Emperor Warned by Vatican to Be-
ware CO Gods Vengeance, Dis
patch from Rome Declares.

Chicago, May 1.-THE Daily News
publishes the following dispatch from
Rome:
"The sinking of the Lusitania has
caused a feeling of violent indignation
and anti-German hatred throughout
Italy-a feeling which is increased by
the fact that owing to the Forthcoming
war Italian transatlantic liners prob
ably will be exposed to similar law
less attack. The prevailing conviction
here is that America will punish Ger
many for the useless sacrifice of inno-
cent lives and that all the neutral ma
tons of the world and also those now
fighting against Germany and Austria
will be prepared to aid America if
necessary.
"Pope Benedict has telegraphed to
Kaiser Wilhelm deploring the inhu-
man methods employed by Germany
as uniustified even by the necessities
of war, and warning him to beware of
Gods vengeance. The Pope's appeal
to the Kaiser's humanity, it is hoped
at the Vatican, will cause Germany to
abandon the practice Of sinking pas
senger ships"

They have been visiting for some
time in this city with Mrs. Ruther-
ford's parents, Mr.. and Mrs. r. H.

FRANK SENTENCED
TO HANG JUNE II
Doomed Man Makes Dramatic
Statementin Court, Pleading
His Innocence.

Atlanta, Ca, May 10-Leo NJ. Frank
today was re-sentenced to be hanged
for the murder of Mary Phagan, and
June % was fixed as the date for the
execution.
Frank dramatically made state
ment to the Court protesting that he
was innocent. He had prepared the
statement to read, but when Judge
Hill asked him if he had anything to
say why sentence should not be pro-
nOunced upon him, the prisoner stood
erect, with his head thrown back, and
without once referring to the written
text, declaiming it with the emphasis
and gestures of an attorney making a
plea before the Court. TIL estatement
follows:
Again l stand before you. Again
| can but reiterate that l am innocent
of the murder of Mary Phagan. have
absolutely no guilty knowledge of that
tragic occurrence.
am innocent of this charge and l
assert that the record of the evidence
concluslvely proves this. No appellate
tribunal has ever passed upon this
evidence. The only Judge who has
ever heard it stated that>he had the
most serious doubts as to my guilt.
My execution will not avenge Mary
Phagan's death. A life will have been
taken for life, but the real culprit
will not have paid the penalty. l will
suffer for another's crime.
My trust is in God, who knows that
my protestations of innocence are the
truth. At some future date the whole
mortal world will realize it. 1t is the
knowledge that God knows it now and
that the world will know it some day
that inspires me as | stand before
your honor and as | face the future.
Anything else l might say at this
time would be but an elaboration of
my words to the Court. Yet l am fully
alive to the fact that my position is
most precarious. 1t is a situation
which is so far removed from any
thing that my life and mental atti-
tude could have bespoken. 1t is hide
Gus but at the same time so unreal, so
homogeneous.
1t is fundamental in human life 10
want to live. This desire to exist is
ingrained in all Of us-it is the basic
morality of all who live. To those
who have the proper ideals of living,
life without honor isinsufferable. This
is the message ofxheology and ethics.
In the light Of the whole truth l
know-and the Almighty knows-that
he morality of my position in this
case is unassailable.

Blaze Quickly-Building
Flooded.

The discovery OF fire in the Sci
ence Hall at the Normal at an oppor-
tune hourlastnigh probably saved the
building from destruction. Harrison
Thomas, Normal student, happened
to be passing the building shortly aft
er 8 o'clock, noticed the glare Of the
flames and turned in an alarm.
The fire department responded
promptly and extinguished the flames
without the great crowd which had
assembled in the main school building
even being made aware that the build
ing was on fire.
Before the city fire department
reached the scene, the fire plugs in
the building were opened and flood
Of water spouted into the burning
room. The city firemen, however,
turned several streams on the blaze
and it subsidized, but the water from
the open fire plugs within the struc-
ture flooded the Domestic Science
room to a depth of nearly a foot.
The origin Of the fire was traced
to an electric iron. One of the teach
ers in Domestic Science left one of the
irons connected when she departed
from the building in the afternoon.
The iron was left on board covered
with cloth, which became ignited from
the heat Of the iron and the board was
consumed.
As the boards gave away, the iron
fell to the floor burning hole
through it and ignited some flimsy
dresses and a quantity of dry goods.
The flames were beginning to spread
rapidly when Harrison Thomas, who
had left the hall where the High
School entertainment was in progress
and passed the Science Hall.
His attention was attracted to the
building by the glare that Illuminated
the windows. Running up to a win
dow he discovered the blaze and be-

Every effort was made to prevent
the knowledge Of the fire reaching
the main building where the High
School students were in contests. It
was feared that it would create
panic and the city firemen notified
those watching the blaze to remain
quiet, which they did.
The greatest damage to the building
was done by water, although the blaze
ruined one side of the floor.

ELKS WILL HOLD
JULY 4TH PICNIC
Elaborate Entertainment Will be
Given at Fairgrounds
July 3.

A balloon ascension, horse racing,
baseball game and fireworks will be
the principal attractions at a Fourth
of July picnic to be given at the Fair
grounds by the Elks' Club Saturday,
July 8.
The picnic was arranged at a joint
meeting of the Fair Board and j. w.
Phillips and John Lilly, officials OF
the local Elks lodge. Because of the
Fourth falling on Sunday, it was de-
cided to hold the entertainment on
Saturday and arrange so many attrae-
tons that it will induce visitors from
other cities to come to the Cape.
While the program has not been
completed, it was stated yesterday
that there would be three races, one
harness race and two running con-
tests. 1t was at first decided to hold
number of races, but the belief that
the feature would detract from other
attractions, the number of contests
will be cut to four.
An old-fashioned balloon ascension,
which no real picnic could omit, will
be the stellar event of the day. A
real daredevil will leap out of the bag
when it gets sky high and float down
to earth beneath a parachute.
A baseball game, dancing and 9TH
er games will entertain the guests
during the day.
An elaborate display of fireworks
will be the principal attraction of the
evening. This will be given on ali
elaborate scale, and will continue far
into the night.

TOO PROUD TO FIGHT" IN BIG
LETTERS IN LONDON

London, May 1.-The words "Too
Proud to Fight" cover in huge letters
most of the placards displayed on the
streets of London today to advertise
the evening papers of the city.
The text of President Wilson's
speech at Philadelphia last night,
printed here today, reached London
too late for general comment as yet.
The Evening Standard in an editorial
remarks:
president Wilson is high-minded
man and we can understand what he
meant by this rather unpolitical re-
mark. Unfortunately Germany does
not understand this kind of righteous
ness. If America could only, as the
President says, convince Germany of
her Injustice to mankind, how digni-
fled and useful would be her position
as neutral"
