PROPOSED ANTl-PROFrTEERlNC
COAL LEGISLATION NOT SATISFACTORY

position to the administration anti
profteerine coal bil was voiced to-
day in the senate. Democratic leaders
declared it begged the question; that
the real crux Of the coal situation
was a lack Of railroad motive power
and that the government should take
immediate steps to relieve the con-
dition growing out of the railroad
strike. No action was taken on the
bill today and consideration is sx-
pected to be resumed tomorrow.
Chairman Cummins of the inter.
state commerce committee, in charge
of the bill, and other Republicans
agreed that the condition of some of
the carriers was serious and Mr.
Cummins expressed the opinion that
government control might prove the
only remedy. His judgment was that
it would take six months for the
roads to repair their equipment so
as to move traffic to full capacity, so
that even with speedy settlement
of the strike there was bound to be
a shortage of equipment in the next
few months.
Senator Underwood, the Democrat
ic leader, urged enactment at this
session of legislation that would meet
the railroad strike situation.
Chairman Cummins continued that
undertake to engage the attention IF
congress on such legislation at this
time, but Senator Underwood argued
that this was the time to act, as pub
lie sentiment might be stronger for
such legislation now than later.
The committee chairman gave no
tice that at the next session he pro-
pose legislation that would make un-
lawful strikes in all industries where
the government undertook to estab-
lish justice in disputes.
The minority leaders recalled that
the senate provision in the trans
portation act designed to prevent
railroad strikes had been eliminated
in conference between the house and
senate. Chairman Cummins replied
that the senate conferees held out
for two months for the provision and
yielded finally only after Informal

DUPRE WAS GAME
TO LAST MINUTE

Atlanta, Sept. 1.-Maintaining hi,
:toicism to the last and with a smile
on his lips while his black cap was
adjusted preparatory to springing tho
trap under him, Frank B. Dupre, 10
year old "Peachtree bandit" paid the
death penalty at the Fulton county
jail here today for the murder of Irb,
c. Walker, private detective, Decem
ber Is, last. The trap was sprung q
2:O4 O'Clock and 16 minues later tn,
youth was pronounced dead.
The scenes attending>the execution
of Dupre were described by old jail
officials as the most dramatic ever
witnessed by them. Outside the jail,
the streets on three sides were block
ed with persons eager to get a
glimpse of the proceedings. Even the
tops of buildings nearby were occu-
pied by men, women and children.
Police reserves were called out to
keep order. Inside the prison walls,
Dupre probably was more composed
than any Of the officials, witnesses Oh
JellOW prisoners.
The youthful bandit was engaged IN
religious services when the fall of th,.
death trap for Luke Mcdonald, negro
convicted of the murder of negro
woman, could be heard throughout
the Jail. He paid no attention to the
sound which within the hour was to
mean his own end. He continued in
prayer until Is minutes of the hour
set for his execution, when unfalter-
ingly he started for the gallows five
stories above.
Upon reaching the death chamber
Dupre stopped and looked out win
dow.
"That's some crowd, isn't it," he
said to his brother, Joe Dupre.
He then pointed out acquaintances
below and waved to them shouting:
"Good bye"
A deputy sheriff called his attention
to Betty Andrews, the sweetheart for
whom he robbed the Nat Kaiser
jewelry store and killed Walker. She
was in cell two floors below, her
face pressed closely against the bar
of the window. She became hysteri-
cal at the sight of the condemned
youth, who shouted to her:
Goodbye, Betty. I want you to be
good girl. Won't you?"
His words were drowned IN the
scffiss BE 10 scrowd below.
"Be good, Betty; be good" Dupre
repeated again and again. Then as
the crowd became quiet:
"You going to meet me in heaven
amt you, Betty?" the bandit shouted
at his sweetheart.
eyes," was the reply.
Dupre turned to deputy sheriff
and asked:
"Well, you all ready?"
The deputy, too full Of emotion tt
reply, led the boy away to the gal
lows.
"God bless you ALL" Dupre shouted
as he waved last farewell.
The condemned youth led the pro
cession to the gallows, and then ask
ed his spiritual advisers to sing:
"a Mothers Prayer Has Follow
ed Me-" Dupre's last audible words
uttered as the black cap was being ad
justed over his head, were: "Pleast
brush back my hair"
The suit in which Dupre was hang
ed was the same one worn by him OF
the day of his crime.
The execution of Dupre brought tt
an end one of the most determined
legal battles ever waged in the his
tory of Georgia criminal courts. AL
other efforts having failed to sta!

 Louis Shanok and Philip Epstein, said they were riding with five casual friends about midnight when they
 showed game tickets. They claim the
 tickets were taken from them and their erstwhile friends offered them
 $10 for each ticket. The students claim they refused to sell, had a dis pute, and finally went to the univer- sity ticket office to report their loss. They then left to find the men who had the tickets and were arguing with them in a hotel lobby when arrested. The men who are said to have had the tickets were not arrested.
 Last evening, William Lewis a Yale student, of Scranton, Pa, and Allen krivitsky, of this city. were arrested charged with selling tickets Lewis the police say, got $25 each for two tickets while Krivitsky is said to have got $55 for pair.
 Krivistsky was found guilty in city court on one count of speculating in tickets and was fined $50 and costs, from which sentence he appealed.
 The court heard the case of James DeFelice, arrested Thursday, and sus- pended judgment. There were two ! counts of selling tickets, but the court said that the evidence did not seem Q exactly bear out the charge of in- .ent to speculate, as DeFelice was irving to accommodate someone with tickets, having charged only small advance over their face value.
