At the spring term of superior court in 1921, Seab Johnson, negro, was tried for murdering his wife, and was sentenc- ed to hang. The verdict was sus tained by all the higher courts, and the negro was again sentenced to hang. The case was then carried to the prison commission, which declin ed to Interfere, and then to the gov ernor, who likewise declined to, com mute the sentence. About an hour before the execu tion was to take jplace, Governor Hardwick telegraphed the sheriff respiting the condemned man for thir ty days on the strength of statements by his attorney that they had newly discovered evidence. This evidence was finally present ed to Governor Hardwick, who or dered that the negro be tried at the April term of Emanuel superior court for the murder of a sister-in-law r who was killed at the same time the wife was killed, and if the jury recom mended him in that case for life im prisonment, Governor Hardwick .would then commute the death sentence to life Imprisonment. Judge Hardeman called off the April term of superior court and held court in some other county. It was expected that the ne gro would be tried at this term - of court, but it is understood that Judge Hardeman has made it known that he does not intend trying a man for murder who is at present sentenced to hang. Unless some other steps are taken in behalf of the condemned ;man, it is thought that the death sentence will be executed on July 27, when tne respite expires. formed President 1 Harding that ho re gards his decisions as final, and ap pealable only to congress. He is will ing to "consider’’ the views of inter ested officials at all times, but the opinion of none of them, he holds, is controlling on his office. The comptroller general’s "declara tion of jurisdiction’’ came to light In publication of a monthly ruling by the general accounting office. The statement bore directly on an opinion handed down in May by the attorney general’s office, construing portions of the federal employees’ compensa tion act contrary to a decision by the comptroller general. Mr. McCarl in dicated he would decline to approve disbursement vouchers from the com pensation commission despite the rul- 'ng of the justice department unless the payments were in accordance with the comptroller general’s view 3f tho law. ’ Earlier in the day Mrs, Besale P. Brueggeman, chairman of the •- com- mission, had announced that it would, 'pay cases dealing with occupational; diseases as formerly,’’ Mr., McCarl had held that such pawments were to be made only in cases where injuries were determinable in point of time while the department of Justice had igreed wjth the commission that such, \ restriction was unnecessary. The opinion of the attorney gen- aral’s office was transmitted to Mr.: McCarl late in May and he wrote the president that to follow such a ruling, "would result in the unauthorized ex penditure of public funds on unlawful vwards.” NO BACK TAXES American Merchant And Warships 1 Will Have Full Freedom As Granted By Straits Pact Lausanne. — The American and Turkish experts reached an agree ment whereby the Unite# States re ceives the most favored nation treat ment concerning the freedom of the straits for merchantmen and warships. The United States, without signing the Btraits’ convention, will receive all privileges. ■ : Also it will be restricted by all lim itations composed by that convention, which gives each signatory power the right to maintain three warships not exceeding 10,000 tons each, in the straits. There is a substituting privi lege that each po\$er may have as many, ships there as are possessed by any country bordering on the Black Sea. This, of course, includes Russia, which has decided to adhere to the straits treaty. The clause in the Turco-American treaty covering these questions does not go into details of the regulations .code set forth in. the straits conven tion, but refers to them in blanket form. : Another important matter agreed Upon was that concerning the collec tion of taxes on American companies and American individuals resident in Turkey, A declaration in the treaty .will apply the-provisions contained in the allies’ treaty. From May 15 of this year Turkey engaged not to col lect back taxes. If, however; any back, taxes have been paid, Americans can not claim a refund. Another meeting of the experts will !be held soon. Both Ismet Pabsa and Joseph C. Grew probably will require additional advices from Angora and Washington, respectively, before they are hble to conclude the unsettled points, namely, assurances concerning the protection of Christian popula tions in Turkey and the .question of claims for damages suffered by Amer icans in Turkey during the war. ‘Maryland Towns Hit By Serious Flood ; Baltimore, Md.'—Cloudbursts and a series of terrific'' thunderstorms, sweeping the coast of western Mary land, caused the Patapsco river to bverflow its banks, sweeping bridges bnd buildings before it, driving hun dreds of families- from their homes and causing damage that will run into millions of dollars. So far us known no lives were lost. Tho flood, ]put the act into operation. : Some time during the* first weolc in .’August, they trust, Wallace will offi- ioially recognize various granariep as government warehouses and thus en able the twelve member banks of the farm loan board to lend money on wheat which is Btored in them. The amount of money which will be needed to tide the farmers over has not been estimated by officials of the American Farm Bureau Fed eration here, but enforcement of the loan act, they believe, will lead many other banks to extend credit on the farmers’ government warehouse cer tificates. Terms of the government loans will lend the farmer money on up to 75 per cent of his wheat’s value, at 5 1/2 per cent interest, the value to be fixed by the price of wheat at the : place where it is held. ; O. E. Bradfute, president of the Na tional Farm Bureau Federation, sought to make clear to newspaper men that the government is not “assuming” the amount of wheat involved, Business loans will be made on the farmer's collateral, which is wheat, Neither Bradfute said, are the farmers trying to corner the market, although the .wheat-holding movement Just begun may be expected to boost the price, v . The farmers, Bradfute explains, are merely borrowing from Peter to pay .Paul, for It is tho demands of the banks for payment of loans on their crops which had put them In their present hole. Tho price went down when farmers were forced to unload, their wheat all at once, at a time when both Europe and America are living from hand to mouth, insofar a? .wheat is concerned. ’ This emergency was foreseen by the farm bureau when It originally fathered the farm loan act. . mggm Committeemen To Inspect Land Glfl ' WrightBVllle, Ga.—The first official ,act of President ^ Charles D.

"I believe that wo should vntor the court, with proper reserva tions," he said, "not so much to help Europe as to establish contacts. The things that make for war will be elim inated by contact rather than by long- drawn-out judicial proceedings.” Too many rights, he said, wero taken from the people. . 1 “Causes Unknown” In Girl’e Death Waycros3.—Mrs. Nell Price, 18, met her death by “causes unknown” was the verdict of. a coroner’s jury, here Investigating the case.
