Gets Life Sentence
Lige Lane, a Clinch County negro,
condemned to hang for assault on a
white woman, began his term of life
Imprisonment Wednesday following
the commutation of his sentence by
Governor Slaton late Tuesday after
noon. •
The commutation was the result of
recommendations of the Prison Com
mission, Judge, Solicitor and Clerk of
the Court, as well as numerous peti
tions signed by white citizens, includ
ing 95 per cent of the white women
of Clinch County, urging executive
clemency.
Governor Slaton said he was
prompted to exercise clemency by ev
idence submitted by the white citi
zens of Clinch County against the
woman victim.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—The Un
derwood tariff revision bill has passed
the 8enate and is now in the hands of
a conference committee, which will
within two weeks adjust the differ
ences between the Senate and the
House measures.
Th« tariff bill a* passed by the Sen- fj nn U P rpr ,pppd fnu
ate retained the principal House pro- vJUUlV X I updil Cll 1U1

by increasing the sur-tax rates on

they have provided an actual increase.

portant changes:
Lowered the normal exemption
from the 1 per cent income tax from
$4,000 to $3,000 for single persons,
with exemptions for wives and de

WASHINGTON, Sept. 10.—Com
menting upon the success of the Re
publican candidate for the House In
the Third Congressional District of
Maine, Senator Smoot, Republican, of
Utah, said to-day:
“Of course I am pleased with the
result. It meanthat the people of
the country do not like the Demo
cratic tariff bill and will not have It
long.’
Senator Ollle James, Democrat, of
Kentucky, »aid:
"The Third District of Main* i# an
old Republican atronghold. If it had
not been for the fact that eome of
the Democrats deserted to the Repub
licans the outcome might have been
different yesterday.**
James R. Mann, minority leader of
the House, said:
“The results show, first, that the
country 1* decidedly for protection for
American Industries, and secondly,
the current now is running strongiy
with the Republican party.
‘‘My request to Republican speak
ers who went up t^iere was that they
invite Progressives to come back into
the Republican ranks and that the
Republican party itself would be suf
ficiently progressive to satisfy sane
men.
“While the Progressives did not all
come back, at least one-half did, and
I believe the other half soon will. I
recognize the fact that the Republican
party can not live unless it be pro
gressive. One destructive party In
enough. That accounts for the Dem
ocratic party.”
Senator Galliger, of New Hamp
shire, Republican leader of the Sen
ate, said:
“It means that the reaction already
has set In. It foreshadows the doom
of the Underwood tariff bill and also
indicates the disappearance of the
Bull Moose vote.”
Senator Kern, of Indiana, majority
leader of the Senate, said:
“We kept up our vote and had it
not been far the desertion of one
of the Democratic leaders we might
have won.”

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16— De
nouncing the bankers who have crit
icised the Glass currency reform bill
as designed to institute political con
trol of the banking business of tne
country, Chairman Carter Glass, of
the House Banking and Currency
Committee, opened general debate
on the measure in the House to
day.
“I was present when an eminent
banker suggested to President Wil
son that the Federal Reserve Board
might be used for partisan purpose*,"
Glass said, “and heard this banker
vainly challenged to show how It
might be done. 1 never shall forget
the emphasis with which the Presi
dent declared that no man would
ever be found who would tarnish his
fame by so flagrant a prostitution
of his high office.”
Where Banks Will Operate.
Glass indicated that Federal re
serve banks probably would be locat
ed at New York, St. Louis, Cincin
nati, Washington, New Orleans and in
Pennsylvania.
“The batteries of the big banks
have been turned upon this board,”
said Glass, defending the reserve
board plan, “and yet there is hardly a
power enumerated In this bill which
has not been exercised by the Gov
ernment for 50 years, or, indeed,
which has not been confined to one
or two public functionaries.”
Scores Present “Reserves.”
“We have permitted banks to pyra
mid credit upon credit and to call the
credits reserves. They are not re
serves. When financial troubles come
and country banks call for money lo
pay creditors they find it invested
in stock gambling.
“The real opposition,” he continued,
“is not to Government control, upon
which we shall never yield; It is not
to compulsory membership, which
also was provided In the Aldrich bill.
It Is to loas of profits from a system
which makes them the legal cuf»to-
dians of all the reserve funds of the
country. $240,000,000 of which funds
on November 24, 1912. they had put
into the maelstrom of Wall Street

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—A fire of mys

the Nickel Plate Railroad in South
Chicago to-day. The loss was esti

City Detective John Black has
been vindicated of the adverse crit
icisms of his conduct In the Frank
trial.
The fight on the Pinkerton Detec
tive Agency on the ground that evi
dence bearing on the Frank case was
withheld from the city police ha« been
amicably settled.
These were two matters settled by
the Police Commission in executive
session late Tuesday night, it was
learned Wednesday. Police Chief J.
L. Beavers and Detective Chief New
port I>anford gave an explanation of
how Detective Black got entagled on
the witness stand during his cross-
examination by Attorney Luther Roa-
ser that wa« satisfactory to the
Commlaslon.
J. H. Kelley, of the Philadelphia
agency of the Pinkertons, was Intro
duced to the members of the Police
Commission as the new head of the
Atlanta office. He is highly recom
mended. It was explained that H. B.
Pierce, the former superintendent, had
left the Pinkertons.
The Police Commission was con
fronted with grave flnancal worry
when It was announced that the ap
propriation for the police payroll was
$9,690 short. The department asked
for $295,600 to maintain its normal
strength. It was thought that this
amount had been given but recently
It was discovered that the appropria
tion was only $285,910.
This matter will be referred to the
finance committee of Council.

The refusal of the Smoke Commis

Supreme Court.
“We are In sympathy with the
