DUPRE'S LAST
APPEAL HEARD

The forces for Frank b. DuPre, 49,
year-old slayer Of Irby c. Walker,
made the final stand for the life of
the condemned youth in an appeal to
Governor Thomas W. Hardwick
Thursday morning. DuPre has been
sentenced to be hanged September /.
The hearing was concluded soon
after noon. Governor HarIwick an
rounced he would not reach decision
for several days, indicating he would
rule on the appeal Monday.
Regardless of what Governor Hard
wick decides in the appeal for COM
mutation Of sentence to life impris-
onment, Thursday appeal was to close
the matter, Attorney H. A. Allen, Du-
Pres counsel, announced Thursday.
1t had been reported the case would
be taken to the Supreme Court of
the. United States, but Mr.. Allen said
after he had investigated the possi-
bilities of such action he found it ad-
visable and would let the case rest
with the governor.
The appeal to the governor was
marked by threat of fist fight be-
tween Allen and Solicitor General
John Boykin, which was narrowly
averted by Governor Hardwick. The
controversy arose when the solicitor
said Mr.. Allen had been unable to
produce certain affidavit makers af-
ter making an appeal fofAa new trial
on the strength Of the affidavits.
Allen jumped to his feet and de-
MED it heatedly. Governor Hardwick
raped for, order and reprimanded
both parties.
B. Graham West, city comptroller,
second man to be shot by DuPre, ap-
peared before the governor and again
urged that the law be enforced and
that the sentence Of death be carried
out. He reiterated his statement made
two weeks ago to the Georgia prison
commission.
On invitation Of Governor Hard
wick he reviewed the happenings on
the day on which he was shot, De-
cember 10, 1921.
Jesse Mercer, Of the Georgia Law
and Order League, Meyer Goldberg
ard Harvey Hatcher, Atlanta attor-
;neys, also appeared to urge that the
sentence be carried out.
On the side Of DuPre, only the at
.s,torney spoke. w. A. Hayward op-
erred ~ H1eIa1 6dlt wa 1olIa -
sL6nis Foster, and IN turn was sue
ceeded by Mr.. Allen, who made the
final appeal.
r. A. DuPre, father Of the "Peach-
tree bandits; Mrs. Irby c. Walker and
her little daughter; Mrs. c. T. Os-
burn, leader Of the Atlanta women
working in DuPre's behalf, and Mrs.
John f. Clover, of East Lake, anoth-
er woman interested, were in the
room.
At its conclusion at noon Governor
Hardwick said it would be several
days before he announced his de-
cision.
The hearing was held in the senate
chamber.-Atlanta Georgian.

Germans and Poles
Prepared to Sign
Silesian Treaty
Document Contains COL Ar
ticles, and Is Expected to
Eliminate All Questions
That Might Cause War

GENEVA, May Ii (By The Associated
Press The German and Polish rep
resentatives attending tho sessions Of
the Council Of the League of Nations
are ready to sign tomorrow the eco
nornic treaty agreed upon settling the
Upper Silesian question The signing
Of this treaty will conclude what the
league officials consider the leagues
greatest political achievement. The
document is longer than the Treaty Of
Versailles, containing col articles,
which is 1e6 moro articles than arc
embraced in the Versailles Treaty.
The Upper Silesian agreement con-
lows six months work under the chair
manship Of NJ. Calender, former Presi-
dent Of Switzerland, who was an-
pointed arbitrator by the League OF
Nations. Although the conference sew.
eral tin1es was on the verge Of breaking
up without an agreement. u. Calender
never had occasion to use his au-
thority, from which there would have
been no right Of appeal. ~
The Upper Silesia agreement con-
tains detailed arrangements for dis.
positions Of the railways. water, electric
current and coal and postal, as well
as legal problems FOR fifteen years. II
is designed also to prevent economic
crises and provides for two Join,
Polish German commissions, undo,
League of Nations chairmen, the frs,
of which is to execute the treaty anc
the second to. settle private disputes.
League experts believe the treaty
will remove possible sources Of wal
between Germany and Poland and
France, and that it SO pools Silesiar
resources as to prevent either German
OF Polish industries from suffering.
The Germans still are dissatisfieo
with the territorial division based or
the plebiscite, but feel that they are
compensated by the economic arrange
ments. Settlement of tho long pending
Silesian problem was referred to the
league by the Allied Supreme Council
which nearly broke up in a hopeless,
wrangle in Paris last August over in.

Shoes, Hides
On Free List,
Senate Plans
CONTINUED from page ono

CONTINUED from page onsl
chusetts shoe manufacturers have told
Senator Lodge they would hold him
personally responsible for defeating
this duty. It is understood that they
laid aside old school diplomatic meth
DDS entirely in their negotiations with
Senator Lodge and said frankly his re-
election might easily depend on his
performance in this matter.
This action of the manufacturers,
complete reversal Of their attitude in
the old Dinghy and Wilson tariff days,
is typical Of many industries and is
slowly working revolution in the
tariff lines in this country.
Auto Makers Led Way
The first indication OF the change
came when the automobile manufac-
tuners, considerably more than year
ago, took the stand that they wanted
no tariff protection. They pointed out
that they exported many hundred cars
for every one imported; that the only
pensive makes which no duty would
keep out. Whereas American automo
bile manufacturers were selling abroad
thousands of cheap and medium priced
cars, running ali the way from the
Ford to the Cadillac class, and some
even moro expensive. A high duty on
cars, they feared, would result in re-
taliatory duties by the countries to
which they were selling and would
thus destroy their export business.
a curious phase Is that the late Sen
ator Penrose, during his long illness
before returning to Washington, real
lied this situation fully, and talked
about it to newspaper men freely just
before taking up his duties as chair
man Of the Finance Committee. In
few weeks after his return, however,
the farm bloc showed the shrewd old
politician its strength, and he yielded
to the oldtime tariff ideas, beginning
with the emergency tariff, despite his
own conviction that times had changed
and that the industrial East no longer
wanted high tariff.

Twelve Balloons in Race

PARIS, May I4.--Twelve spherical
balloons, representing France, England,
Belgium and Italy, took flight from
the Tuileries Gardens between 5 and
o'clock this afternoon in the annual
race for the Grand Prix Of the Aero
Club Of France. A pilot balloon. with
Count de la Vaulx in charge and with
Captain Rene F'onck aud Alberto
Santos-Dumont RS passengers, started
at 4:90 p. nj.
A slight breeze was blowing from
north to northeasterly, and some Of
the ballons disappeared due south and
others southwest. The present
weather conditions make the landing
probable in the Pyrenees Mountain
region, or perhaps in Spain. I.ieuten-
ant f. DeMuyster, Belgium, winner OF
the Gordon Bennett race in the United
States in 1920, and Captain Hitschauer
and Maurice Biename, Of France, are
tho favorite.
