"All of these facts were fully brought
out by Mr Townsend in his report to

Officials of School Seek Philan

Pupils Financially.
Officials of Georgia Tech are search
ing the state for philanthropic men of 1
( ! means who will aid them in a plan ■
which promises to provide extensive i
educational advantages to young men I
who are unable to pay their way I
through college.
If they find such men they will ask
S2O a month from each one to Support
youths who find it beyond their means
i to enter the college at their own ex- (
pense.
The idea of providing freu scholar- (
ships for sopte was brought out by
Professor Holman Gardner recently,
and he hjts been placed at the head of
. the state-wide inquiry for such funds.
"It has been brought to our atten- (
tion that a large number of Atlanta j
■ and Georgia boys would like to enter ,
this college, but have not the necessary ,
funds," saiil Professor Gardner today: ,
• "Several hive been informed that we (
. I are working for free scholarships and
| as soon as we find men willing to put
up the money, as I am sure we will, tile 1
young men will lie enrolled as students
in the college."
The movement to get the scholarships ,
I was begun shortly after the beginning
lof preparations for this season's open- '
I lug of the college. If new students are
obtained through this means, they' will <
find no room for them in the college I
dormitories, which have already been
filled. ' (
College men from twenty states are |
enrolled at Tech, making tinal ar- ,
rangeifient of their rooms preparatory |
to the first day of work, Monday. The .
day will begin with brief exercises at ,
the chapel, then the classes will take
up the work of the term.

BOARD WILL HEAR:
PLEA FOR LIFE OF
i
M’NAUGHTDN
t
Commission Can Only Make
Recommendations, Governor
Alone Holding Man’s Fate.
The Georgia prison commission has
agreed upon Thursday, October 3, aS,
the date upon which it will hear argu
•ments for and against a recommenda
tion of Dr. W. J. McNaughton to exec- (
utive clemency in the famous poisoning
mystery.
The governor alone stands between
Naughton and the gallows. The pris
on commission has no binding author
ity in the matter. Its recommenda
tions may or may not, be accepted by
the executive.
The McNaughton case has been
fought through every tri
bunal that might consider it. The de
fendant has lost at every turn. It is
absolutely and finally up to the gov
ernor, at last. No human agency can
save McNaughton from death now. it
the governor refuses clemency.
The man was convicted more than
two years ago of murdering Frederick
Flanders, of Swainsboro, in Emanuel
county.
He was a practicing physician of
repute and standing in hi» vicinity, and
lived in the same house with Flanders
and his wife, Minnie. Flanders sick
ened, died and was buried in appar
ently natural circumstances.
Doctor Accused of Crime.
Some time after Flanders’ death, foul
play was suspected, largely growing
out of alleged friendship between Mc-
Naughton and Mrs. Flanders. The body
of Flanders eventually was exhumed
and traces of arsenic were found in an
analysis of his stomach.
It was shown that Dr. McNaughton
had treated Flanders through his last
illness, and a charge of murder was
lodged against him.
The physician was arrested and upon
circumstantial evidence was convicted.
Then began an amazing legal battle
to save McNaughton's life. His attor
neys appealed for a new trial in the su
perior court and were turned down.
Then they went to the supreme court
of the state, and again they lost. Next
they got the case into the Federal
courts, and, although they went straight
through to the supreme court of the
United States, they lost at every point.
After the supreme court of the Unit
ed States had passed upon the case, an ,
effort was made to get it before the '
state supreme court again, upon an ex
traordinary motion. The supreme court (
dismissed the motion.
McNaughton's one final and abso
lutely only hope now is executive clem
ency. And whether the prison com
mission shall recommend that is the
question set for hearing on October 3.
Many Believe Him Innocent.
There are scores of people, familiar
with the details of the case, who be
lieve McNaughton absolutely innocent.
Physicians have testified that the
arsenic found in the dead man’s stom
ach might have come from an em
balming fluid.
McNaughton, asked by his attorneys,
if he Used any arsenic in the medicine
he gave Flanders in his last illness,
stoutly maintains there was none.
Urged that it might help his case to
have a contrary fact established, he
still denied that he used medicine on
Flanders containing any trace of
arsenic, or other deadly drug.
McNaughton, in jail in Savannah,
protests his innocence vehemently. He
says he yet has faith in human jus
tice and in God. He does not believe
he ever will go to the gallows.
An effort was made to implicate the
dead man’s wife, Mrs. Minnie Flanders,
in the murder, and she was indicted,
but the case against her never w as sus
tained.
CHARGE HE DROVE WIFE'
INSANE; GETS YEAR TERM

lently that she was driven insane, which

STRIKERS FORTIFY
UTAH MINESHAFTS;
TO FIGHT DEPUTIES
BINGHAM. UTAH. Sept. 19.—A
clash between 800 striking miners in
trenched on, both sides of the canyon
in which the mines of the Utah Copper
Company are located, and 250 armed
deputy sheriffs is expected today. The
miners, armed, have taken possession of
the mining property and, guarding
every avenue of ingress into the can
yon, have refused to allow the sheriff’s
force to enter. The deputies have been
ordered by Sheriff Sharp to drive away
from the works the belligerent miners,
who struck yesterday because the com
pany refused to grant an increase in
wages. Four thousand men are out.
Breastworks have been thrown up
about the shafts of the mines. The
miners are sullen and quiet.
With a semblance of military order,
they have thrown out guards and post
ed their men ready to meet an advance
on the part of the sheriff’s force.
Strikers during the morning captured
the dynamite house of the Utah Con
struction Company. They now have
possession of a ton and a Half of 60
per cent of dynamite an<j‘a quantity of
nitroglycerin. It is feared they may
blow up the camp.
Governor Spry arrived today for a
personal investigation of the situation.
President Charles H. Moyer, of the
Western Federation of Miners, advised
against the strike. He has lost all con
trol over the men, who are acting
against his instructions.
GEORGIANS IN RUSH
TO JOIN ARMY AS
WAR TALK GROWS
Prospects of trouble with Mexico has
caused a marked increase in army en
listments in Atlanta. During the pres
ent month twenty-nine young Geor
gians have decided to pack a gun for
Uncle Sam. establishing a new record
for enlistments at the local office.
"The widespread rumors that the
United States may have trouble -with
Mexico probably is the reason for the
increase,” said Lieutenant J. A. Gallog
ly, head of the Atlanta recruiting sta
tion.
According to the lieutenant, the
standard of men enlisted from this sec
tion is high. Many, he asserts, enlist
with the idea of getting a commission.
"Three of the thirty promotions made
from the ranks last month,” he said,
were given to Georgians. L. V. Beach,
of Atlanta, a forrper Tech student; Roy
O. Henry, of Rome, and J. V. Holzun
dorf, of Brunswick, were made lieuten
ants.
