Negro, Saved From
Gallows by Women,
Gets Life Sentence
Lig-e 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.

Mann Says It Shows Country Op
poses Low Tariff—Democrats
Claim They Held Vote.
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 means that the people of
the country do not like the Demo
cratic tariff bill and will not have it
long.’
Senator Ollie James, Democrat, of
Kentucky, said:
“The Third District of Maine is an
old Republican stronghold. If it had
not been for the fact that some of
the Democrats deserted to the Repub
licans the outcome might have been
different yesterday."
James R. Mann, minority leader o f
the House, said:
“The results show, first, thar the
country is decidedly for protection for
American industries, and secondly,
the current now is running strongly
with the Republican party.
“My request to Republican speak
ers w’ho went up there was that they
invite Progressives to come back into
the Republican ranks and that the
Republican party itwelf would be suf
ficiently progressive to satisfy sane
men.
“W'hile the Progressives did not all
come back, at least one-half did. and
1 believe the other half soon will. T
recognize the fact that the Republican
party can not live unless it be pro
gressive. One destructive party is
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
Bui! Moose vote.”
Senator Kern of Indiana, majority
leader of the Senate, said:
“We kept up our vote and had it
not been for the desertion of one
of the Democratic leaders we might
have won.”

WASHINGTON. Sept. 10.—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 purposes.”
Glass said, “and heard this- banker
vainly challenged to show’ how it
might be done. I 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 loaf
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 lu
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 loss of profits from a system
which makes them the legal custo
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
stock operation."

CHICAGO, Sept. 10.—A fire of mys

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 has 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 Ros
ser that was satisfactory to the
Commission.
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
sion to grant an extension of time to
apartment house owners before they
are compelled to comply with the
smoke laws likely will lead to a suit
to test the smoke ordinance in the
Supreme Court.
“We are in sympathy with the
movement to .abate the smoke nui
sance, but we do not think It can be
done arbitrarily," Edward Durant told
the commission. “A similar law re
cently was declared unconstitutional
in New York, and I believe the Su
preme Court of Georgia would maka
the same decision.
“From what I have learned, w*
would have to throw’ away our pres
ent boilers and buy new ones to com
ply with the law."
About twenty apartment housa
owners went before the commission
Tuesday afternoon. One of their ar
guments was that schoolhouses wer*
not required to obey the law.
R. M. Harwell, chairman of th«
commission, replied to the apartment
house owners that they already had
had more than a year to comply with
the law.
