ATLANTA, May 3.-When so high

Bank with its wide range of vision
and its strict adherence to fact, re-
ports marked improvement of bust
ness conditions in the Atlanta district,

touching developments since the mid

There have been more expressions

attitude of business men has under

in itself, is indication of progress.
Agriculturally, most parts of the dis

of the almost continual rains, but
the increase in prices of farm prod

STRONGHOLD
DEFEAT GALLONS
Influential Men Appear In Behalf
OF Ludy Riley, To Hang
June %

ALANY, May 3.-StrOng efforts
are being made to prevent the exc
cution of the death penalty on Ludy
Riley, a young white man who was
convicted at the March term Of
Dougherty Superior court in 1921 Of
criminal assault on a 10-year-old
white girl, and whose case has been
upheld by the Supreme court Of the
state. Mayor H. A. Peacock, Senator
Dennis Fleming and Representative
Walter II. Beckham were among the
local leaders who appeared before
the prison commission Monday to ask
a communication of the sentence,
which would reduce the punishment
to 20 years Imprisonment. Riley cnn-
tends that the accusation was a
frame-up by the child's mother,
claimed to be a lewd character, who
sought to prevent his prosecuting her
for robbing him. 1t was suggested
in the attorneys speech defending
Riley that the condition of the child
was produced by the mother to fasten
a trumped-up charge on Riley, but
DR.. A. W. Wood, reputable physi-
clan, testified that the child bore tn
appearance of one victimized b
criminal assault and that the in
juries, in his opinion, were not pro-
duced otherwise. The state also un-
dertook to show that Riley was drunk
at the time of the crime.
Reference has been made in some
stories of the crime to the woman"
Riley is alleged to have assaulted,
when the alleged victim was nothing
more than little pale-faced child.
The mother who was only minor
witness in case has also been repre-
sented as the ''star" witness, when

Improvement in the commercial life
Of the district"
In this betterment of agricultural
prices and the consequent gain in
the farmers buying power the At
lanta reserve district shares coun-
try-wide cause for cheer, it is pointed
out here. No single group of Ameri-
can interests suffered so heavily in
the economic reactions following the
war than did those which live by the
soil, said business men today. While
farm products declined in market
value to levels not infrequently be-
low those of 1913, there was no com
pensating decrease in the price of
things the farmer had to buy. AS
long as this Unbalanced state of af-
fairs continued, it was inevitable that
all currents of trade which depended
upon his patronage would lag, partic-
ularly in a region so dominantly agri-
cultural as the Southeast. The turn
of the tide is now manifest in a far
felt and varied business quickening.
In the Atlanta district, according
to the Federal Reserve reports, in
dustrial as well as commercial con
ditions are improved. The building
trades are especially active Unem-
ployment has notably decreased.
Faith deepens as spring advances and
a freshened spirit of enterprise I'M
folds.
