WASHINGTON, D. C.-The failure

ton of drastic bill by Representa-
tive Crisp, of the Third Georgia dis

ment in the bill and both a fine and
Imprisonment are prescribed as pun
ishment, the fine not exceeding $5,-
900 and Imprisonment not exceeding
ten years.
Every officer or employee of bank
who may be indicted under the act

fairs of the corporation as to have
enabled him to determine whether
the corporation was solvent or in
solvent at the time or receiving de-
posts. The bank is required to pro-
duce all its books and records in

under the act.

AUGUSTA.-Today there reached
Governor N. E. Harris, of Georgia,
who is in Augusta where he delivered
the R. E. Lee address under the aus
pieces of the Daughters of the Confed-
eracy a huge bouquet of flowers, an
attention from the Augusta w. c. T..
U. for the inclusion of the prohibition
legislation in the call of the general
assembly.
Petition Was Hidden.
In the bouquet was found petit
ton gotten up by the prison reform
committee of the w. C. T. U, asking
the pardon of Willis Porter, a negro
sent up from Lee county seventeen
years ago for the murder of another
negro.
Porter was but thirteen years old
when he committed the murder. He
has been in the Richmond gang about
five years.
Shortly after the petition was de-
livered to Governor Harris Mr.. w. A.
Newcomb called Mrs. Node Russell
Hammell over the telephone and said
to her:
Ellis excellency has read the Por-
ter petition. In the room now are
no one other than Governor Harris,
Mayor Littleton and I. I want to say
to you that Governor Harris has said;
4 cannot resist the ladies of the w.
c. T. U. I will sign the pardon. "
The prison commissioners in 1914,
nearly two years ago, recommended
that Porter be paroled.
When Mrs. Hammell thanked Gov
ernor Harris for his clemency he
said: 81 have ordered Willis Por-
ter's release. The flowers did it"
The ladies of the w. c. T. U. pris-
on reform committee are proud of
their success.

WANTS STATE REWARD
IN THE LEO FRANK CASE
APPLIES TO GOVERNOR HARRIS
FOR 5000, AND SUES CITY
ATLANTA FOR 81, 900.

ATLANTA.-Af formal application
for the 5000 reward offered by the
state of Georgia for evidence sufi-
cient to bring about the conviction of
the man who killed Mary Phagan in
the National Pencil factory in Allan
ia April 26, 1913, was made to Gov
ernor Harris today by Attorneys Law
ton Nalley and Thomas Scott on be-
half of their client Robert Barrett.
Pointed Out Blood Spots.
Barrett, who was a latheman in
the pencil factory, pointed out to
the authorities certain alleged blood
spots on the second floor of the fac
tory and some hair was found upon
the lathe handle. 1t was the conten-
ton of the state that both the blood
and hair were Mary Phagan's and it
was upon this evidence that the
state largely relied to establish its
contention that the murder was
done on the second floor and to con-
Wet L. NJ. Frank of the murder.
Solicitor General Dorsey called on
Governor Harris this morning to say
that if any one was entitled to the
reward offered by the state it should
20 to Barrett, as it would have been
very difficult if not impossible to have
convicted Frank without the evidence
supplied by Barrett.
Suit Against Atlanta.
Barrett, through Attorneys Nalley
and Scott, brought suit against the
city of Atlanta to collect a reward OF
$1,000 offered by the city in the Pha-
gan murder case. His suit is now
pending before the state supreme
court, attorneys for the city having
demurred to it on the ground that
the city of Atlanta was without
charter right to offer such a reward.

hirty-six Million Cords
of Wood Destroyed Yearly

burning either in q fire-pit, having an
open fire which sometimes has q pro-
tecting wall on the side towards the
mill, or in q burner enclosed on all sides
and having a sparkarresting screen at
the top and a fire CRATE near the bot
tom. In both cases some kind Of a
convepor is necessary to bear the waste
from the mill to the fire. This is usual
ly sort of trough with a metal bottom,
along which a slowly moving chain or
cable, equipped with cleats or buckets,
carries the waste to the fire.
A closed burner and conveyor costs
about $4,000 for a mill of hundred
thousand feet daily capacity Forty
per cent Of the larger mills, cutting
more than $4,000 board feet daily are
equipped with closed burners. Forty.
five per cent have fire-pits. The re-
mainder have neither and dispose Of
their waste in some other way
It is estimated that for mill Of lOO.-
900 feet capacity the cost Of convey
ing the waste from the machine where
it is made and destroying il in a closed
burner is 40 cents per cord or sl0.05 per
day. Burners seldom bring in any rev
enue, although in a few cases ashes are
sold for FERTILIZER, and in a number Of
others the zurner furnishes hot feed
water for the boilers.

For more than generation Spear

Spear Head is the choicest Of all

into mellow-sweet plugs in a perfectly
clean, most sanitary factory.
You can't chew the favor out Of

Two Armed COnyicts
at Large In Idaho

GFaneeyille, Iaaho, June 1.-Two
escaped conyiets, armed with revolv-
ers, are at large near here today, and
posses Of mounted deputy sherffs are
searching for them.
The couvicts are James n. Davis
and George Smead. They were last
seen at llo, Idaho, late Yesterday,
when they ao'd up Or. Dunlap fired
two shots at the Doctors feet and stole
his horse Saturday night they ap-
.peared IT Winchester, Is miles from
llo, and bought provisions. A deputy
sheriff encountered them there. One
of the cOnvicts covered him with a
revolver while the othr bought some
groceries. Then they fled.
Telephone messages from Winchester
tlling of the presence Of the convicts
did not state whether they had es-
capped from the Walla Walla, Wash,
penitentiary or from the Idaho prison
at Boise.

Both burners and fire-pots add to the
insurance rates on lumber, and in the
case of the pit on the mill itself. In
order to reduce the fire hazard to zero,
in the case of the burners, it is neces-
sary to keep all lumber piles at least
l50 feet away from the burner. The
matter is much worse in the case Of pits,
especially the open ones, which must
be kept 300 feet away from the mill and
500 feet away from any lumber piles.
When nearer than these distances from
the mill and yard respectively, the in
surance rates mount up rapidly with
closer proximity until they become prac-
tically prohibitive when the fire-pit is
nearer than 100 feet
No well managed mill would produce
waste II it could be avoided. This, how
ever, is not possible, so the next best
thing is TO seek out some method Of
utilization Of the waste 80 1t will pay
for its disposition. The Forest Sery-
ice is working on this problem, but has
not yet found satisfactory solution.

From Forest Service.)
There are more than $4,000 sawmills
in the United States, and their output
of waste in the form of sawdust, shaw
ings, slags, and other wood refuse, is
estimated as 3G,OOO0o0 cords per year.
This is equal to over IL billion cubic
feet Of waste, which is the capacity of
a bin one-han mile high with base
covering a 4O.aere lot. Or, considering
each cord to contain so cubic feet of
solid wood with all the cracks and air
spaces taken out, these 36,000,OOO cords
would make a block Of wood more than
a quarter of mile on each edge.
Perhaps one.half Of this so-called
waste product is not strictly speaking
wasted, but serves a useful purpose as
fuel under the boilers. Much Of the
remaining 100000 cords not only
serves no useful purpose, but in most
cases is source Of inconvenience and
danger and costs the mill time and
money.
Sawmill waste is disposed Of in va
rious ways Some goes TO the local fuel
market, some to pulp mills or TO wood
distillatiOn plants. Shavings and hog
cuttings, as well as other mill waste,
are sometimes used to fill low places in
the yard. However, the most common
