SENATE VOTES PAY
INCREASE To BANK
DEPARTMENT HEAD

After considerable debate and dur
ing a roll call which indicated that
the measure would be defeated, the
senate Wednesday tabled a consti-
tutional amendment which would
permit counties to use a portion of
their tax revenues to advertise their
agricultural and industrial re-
sources. The measure was by Sen
ator Beauchamp, of the Twenty-sec-
ond district.
A proposal to increase the salary
of the state superintendent of banks
from $4,000 to $500 per year
aroused extended discussion, but the
bill finally passed, so to 3. Senator
RedWine, of the Twenty sixth dis
trict author of the measure, de.
clared that the salary increase would
be paid by the state banks out Of
fees for services rendered by the
banking department, and that there
is now a surplus in the departmental
funds which would take care of the
increase.
Opponents of the bill contended
that it would be bad policy to con-
tinue the practice of raising salaries
at every session of the legislature,
and insisted that the increase, al
though paid by the banks, would
ultimately be paid by the public
through interest charges.
Bills Passed in Senate
Omong the bills passed by the SEN
ate Wednesday were:
A house bill to amend the act Gre
ating a new charter for the town of
Eatonton.
A house bill to amend the act to
establish a system of public schools
in Eatonton.

CHICAGO PUTS FULL TRUST

ed the bench. who sentenced 10 the

Eddie Jacobson, called Eddie, the
Immune" who had boosted for
years that he could not be CON
Victed
In another case Justice Caverly
compelled the state to withdraw its
demand for capital punishment of
a woman who had killed her hus-
band, saying: This is an American
court. To ask that a woman be

When Clarence Darrow, chief at

the plea of not guilty and entered
the plea of guilty with the state
ment of I'VE dislike to throw this
burden on this court or any other
court" he knew out of the wisdom
of his thirty seven years Of eX-
perience as a practicing lawyer IN
Chicago that the burden could not
be thrown on more capable Shout

Public sentiment against the STAY

feeling now is that they should pay
the extreme penalty for their crime
But if Justice Caverly should de-

CHICAGO, July 22.-Chief Jus
! ice John r. Caverly, of the Grim
! NAL court, has become the big out
standing figure of the Leopold
Loeb murder case by the surpris
ing action Of the defense inventor
ing pleas of guilty and inviting the
mercy of the court.
If the tremendous responsibility
suddenly placed upon him came as
surprise to Justice Caverly, he
gave no indication of that fact.
Studying his face as he warned the
accused youths that their action in
waving a trial by jury made it pos
sible for the court to impose the
death penalty, one gained the i'm
preston, first of all, of great
strength. In this, as in all of his
characteristics, Justice Caverly is in
direct contrast to the defendants. He
is of thick set, powerful physique,
with broad forehead and square
jaw; keen steady eyes gaze forth
beneath heavy brows.
Justice Caverly was born in Eng
land IS yea1G ago and came to Chi
cago with his parents when he was
six years old. He has a long and
enviable record both as 81 city at
torney and as a magistrate. AS at
torEey for the city of Chicago in
1907 he broke up a ring of grafters
who had mulcted the city out of
nearly $4,000,000 in eight years.
And it was he, after he had mount.

HARRELL CONFESSES.
PART IN Staying
Of MAJOR NJ LEARY

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July "a
Frank Harrell, sought as an &C
complete in the murder of Major
Samuel H. McLeary near Cheraw
S. c., on July 2, is a prisoner in
the Nashville police station and has
made a confession to Chief Robert
Sidebottom, of the local detective de-
partment, the latter says, admittin g
that he was with Mortimer N. King,
already under arrest on the charge
of murder, when the killing took
place. He is quoted as saying that
King did the actualprkilling.
Harrell, for whom officers all over
the country have been searching
following the brutal murder of the
army officer, was picked UP by Pa
trolmen Bashaw and Marshello Tues
day afternoon in South Nashville.
With him was his brother, Gerald.
The men were arrested on charge
of vagrancy. At the police station,
Harrell was suspected when his de-
scription tailed with that of the no
tees received at the station shortly
after the search was started for
Major McLeary's slayers.
Brought TO the detective office this
morning, the men were interrogated
by Chief Robert Sidebottom, and
Frank Harrell, it is stated, soon ad-
mitted he was the man sought as
Kings accomplice in the murder, the
chief said.
Officers have not yet checked his
wanderings, but his flight brought
him to Nashville only few days
ago. He had followed in the news
papers, it is said, the reports of the
search being instituted for him and
was using the reports as a means
to keep away from the law. He left
South Carolina shortly after the cap
ture of King.
Harrell will be held here pending
action of the South Carolina Off
