GOVERNOR SAVES
GORE FROM CHAIR
Atlanta Slayer Given 60-Day
Respite Pending Reopen
ing of Case.


ATLANTA, September 15.-Grant-
ed a 60day respite by Gov. Walker
within four hours of the time he was
to have been electrocuted, Nell NJ.
Gore was brought back from the
State prison at Milledgeville last
night for further questioning in con-
nection with the Staying of William
II. Cheek, grocer for which he was
convicted as an aCcOmplice.
The respite came when the Su-
preme Court issued an order direct
ing Trial Judge John ID. IIumphrieS
to show. October .. why he should
not grant IA bill of exceptions To his
ruling Monday IN which he had re-
fused to enjOin the execution. The
order gave the case to the jurisdic-
tion of the Supreme Court and auto
matically stopped the execution. Gov.
Walker Immediately ordered the re-
spite.
The injunction petition by Cores
attorney asserted that Cores original
death sentence was for July Is and
that the order for his execution speci-
fed that date. although it was re-
ceived at the State prison September
IL. 1t was contended that Gore
should have been resentenced and
that the order for his execution
should have been in the hands of the
prison warden at least 10 days be-
fore the date of execution.

Injected into the case with the
statement last Sunday by Ruby Ray,
serving sentence for completely in
hold-up, that she fired the shot
which killed Cheek in his little store
here last December. She said she
went on the trip attired in mems
clothing. Officers brought her here
for questioning. Gore also will be
questioned about this phase OF the
case, although he signed a state
ment yesterday in which he repudi-
ated the woman's confession"
Jack Wilson had been charged with
being the actual slayer and a Ma
ton wide search had been made for
him.
Both Gov. Walker and the solicitor
general have indicated that any part
played in the case by the Ray woman
does not affect Cores status, since
he was convicted of completely.

sively:
This is the flag that Kosciuszko
carried during the American Revolu-
tionary War. America not only hon
ored our revered national hero during
his lifetime by extending to him the
privilege of American citizenship, by
settling a considerable annual pension
with landed estates and comforting
the rank of brigadier general upon
him, but to this day his memory is
kept alive by Kosciuszko parks and
Kosciuszko. monuments in various
cities Of the Union"
In the National Museum one also
finds many objects of personal adorn-
ment and use worn or carried by Kos

Snake Charming a Hoax.

Snake charming is wholly a hoax,
according to DIR. Lucius Nichols, di-
rector Of the Pasteur Institute at Co
lolbo. Ceylon. The cobra is deaf to
all sounds, DIR. Nichols is quoted by
the London It'd Bits. its hearing facul-
ties consisting only Of delicate mem
brane which receives vibrations
through the ground. The "charmers"
know this, and by tapping the box or
basket in which the snake is kept they
partly stun the reptile by the force
Of vibrat tions. and thereby render 1t
tractable.
Photographs Of the famous Indian
rope trick taken by DR.. Nichols and
his assistants show no trace of the
supposed boy climbing rope. This
is not magic, he asserts. but simply
the art of suggestion brought to a
high pitch of efficiency.

CRACOW, Poland, September 15.-
Cracow Is to the memory Of Tadeusz
KosciusZko what Mount Vernon is to
the memory of George Washingt on.
One cannot walk far in this old city
OF the Polish kings without coming
upon some reminder of the great ma
tional hero whose name kindles more
enthusiasm both in America and in
Poland than that of any other Pole.
Whether as colonel of the Artillery
and personal adjutant to George
Washington in the American War of
Independence. or whether as leader
of the Polish insurrection of 1894
against Russian oppression. he was
one of the most picturesque figures
of his time. Partisans of Marshall
Pilsudski today refer to the virtual
dictator of Poland as "the second
Kosciuszko." and the imaginations of
Polish school children is fired by copi-
Gus references in the text books to
the exploits of Tadeusz Kosciuszko.
The mecca for the visitor to Cra-
COW is the Wawel, a rocky hill on the
left bank Of the Vistula. 1t was the
fortified seat of the Polish dukes and
kings from the very dawn of the ma
tion's history. 1t is thus. as it were,
the emblem of the Polish nation.

CONVERSATIONS.

There are more compensatlonS
in this world than we are apt to
concede when we are having our
rough experiences. If the milk
man or the newspaper carrier
happens to have measure Of
poetry in his soul, his early hours
give him far the best of it these
crisp spring mornings. He makes
his rounds at a time when the
awakening of day is coincident
with the awakening of nature.
Even early dawn reveals to him
the advance of foliage and bloom
since the day before. Whether
traversing the countryside or the
residence streets he need not en-
Wy those who sleep while nature
is instinct with newly awakened
life. He drinks in the changing
panorama of light green. the most
beautiful tint of the whole year.
But even those who remain
abed sometimes share in part with
those who voluntarily or of neces-
sity are stirring at o'clock in the
morning. Some of us who are not
hard sleepers find ourselves favor
ed by that fact, for we are sum-
moned by the bird choir for its
morning concert. If there hap
pens to be a cardinal in the choir.
most likely the summons comes
from him, for he is the first to
tune up. If this noble whistler in
his red uniform is not about, tn IN
the brown thrush probably is the
caller, for he, too. is an early bird
AS the awakening progresses
we await the entrance of success
i've notes, the new voices in this
wonderful ensemble of woodland
and meadowland voices. The song
of the cardinal has almost the do
minance of the cornet or the
trumpet. The lark is the colora-
tura soprano. repeating its high
pitched little cadenza. The cat
bird, not so musical, but never in
discord, is generous contributor.
The yellowhammer does not sing
much, but his notes are insistent.
Various kinds of woodpeckers
sometimes command attention. If
you are not keenly alert you may
miss entirely the bluebird, the
most subdued of all, its MARBLE
being like the voice of distant
flute. Only a little more assertive
is the decorative oriole. Sweetest
of all is the wood thrush. whose
LIQUID music never has been
equalled by that of other birds
and never has been approached
by man-made instruments. With
more than average bird range,
with a full and varied song, with
modesty but unfailing confidence,
this singer is the Marion Talley
of the morning choir. But there
are not many Marion Talleys;
neither are the wood thrushes nu-
merous. The brown thrush really
is the leading spirit of the dawn
concert. It's only rival is the rob-
in.
This early morning music is at
its best. 1t is not only the season
of awakening nature, but it is the
season of counting in birdland.
Life and romance are most inspir-
ng. Yes, there are compensa-
ions for the milkman If he hap
,ens to have poetry in his soul. |
