VJ THE SUN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 23, '1915. 44- TROOPS STILL GUARD GEORGIA GOVERNOR Mariial Linv Prevails Around Hoiiii' of Executive, Who Spared Frank's Life. NO TltOUMYK IX ATLANTA Atlanta, June 22. Two battailous of Infantry and n troop of llorso Guard icmalnrd on duty to-day nnd to-night nt Gov. Sl.iton's homo on Penchtrcc road. Martini law prevailed within n radius of naif a mile of the home nnd n tented c'ty wan thrown up. A cordon of Infantrymen has been thrown ahout the Governor's home nnd the members of the Horse Guards art pjtiolllnff the ro.rtls In the vicinity. Martial taw Is strictly enforced and no one Is allowed to pass the lines unless he l properly vouched for. The Governor Issued the proclamation establishing martial law, nnd It Is said to be the tlist time In the history of the United States that n Chief Executive ha been forced to Issue such n procla mation In behalf of himself. Gov. Slaton himself called attention to this In a humorous way. While there Is a warlike appearance ibout the Slaton home there Is no enemy In sight, nnd there has been none ilnce 3 o'clock this morning, when the lat members of the crowd thnt hnd been besieging the Governor's home vanished Wore a charge by the troops, throwing bricks as It retired. Major Catron and Lieut. Tarns were painfully Injured nnd MTtral of the soldiers were hurt by bricks. Got. Slaton left his home to-day for the first time since Saturday. He rode for an hour this morning over the roads jbout his estate, accompanied by twenty cavalrymen, and later In the day spent i few minutes In his office In the Capitol. ETen on tho trip to the Capitol he was carefully looked after. The Governor plainly shows the ef fects of the strain he has been under, but he faces the storm of criticism with courage. "I am confident that my decision was right." he said, "and time will vindicate me. When the people of Georgia are calmer and when they study my state ment they will ngrce with me." Atlanta was quiet to-day. but there were rumors that a great demonstration would be made against Gov. Slaton on Saturday, when he retires from office and Jndge Nat E. Harris ts inaugurated. It li Mated that many delegations are coming ostensibly to attend the Inaugu ration, but really to engage In a demon stration agulnst Gov. Slaton. A notable feature of the outbursts Is that they have been directed exclusively at Gov, Slaton. It was charged that there was much prejudice against the Jews In Atlanta because of Frank, but no Jew has been molested since the demonstrations began. U.porta from nil over the State to day Indicated that excitement had sub tided. Those who npproved tho Gov trnT's action and those who disap prove! seemed equally tired of useless discussion. S!n the announcement of Frank's commutation yesterday morning an jlanche of telegrams of congratula tion fiom people In all walks of life and (rem all parts of Georgia and the cruntry has poured Into the Governor's olt.ie. FRANK IN POOR HEALTH. He Was Not Afraid of Gallows, lip Sns la I'rlsun. Milledgeville, Gn., June 22. Leo M. Frank wns not sent out to do hard work oc the State prison farm to-day. He Is frail and wasted frcm his stay In the Atlanta Jail and the worry over his fight for life. He will probably be al lowed to rest until his strength returns, "A good thought Is like a good prayer," said Frank to Interviewers. "It li sure to help him for whom It Is of. fered." lie smiled as he spoke of good thoughts and good prayers. Then he ut silent for a moment, "I am grateful first of all to the Governor," he went on slowly. "I am also grateful to the warden, who hns been so good to me since I came here. I thank the people of New Tork for their sympathy. I appreciate their ef fort! to help me. Whether Uiey have benefited me In any way is a mooted Question. "I nas not afraid of the gallows," Frank went on. "I trusted to logic. Her was my argument: I knew Gov. Maton as a man with a legal mind, a polished gentleman, who smacked of the ccsn-opollte. "1 knew he had the evidence. I knew ha was considering it carefully. The oaly other two men with legal minds ho Inspected It thoroughly decided In my favor. I mean Judge Roan, who appealed for me In a letter he wrote on his deathbed, and Judge Patterson of the Prison Commission. I trusted to the Judgment of these two men. By sheer loslc I knew that a man like the Governor must decide as they did. I was atackln; all my chips on the turn of the card, that Is true, but I knew all along what the card was. "No. I was not anxious during the last hours before the commutation came. I had reasoned the thing out. I knew It must be as It was. I did not hope 1 was certain. It was purely a matter of loslcal reasoning." LABOR PEACE COUNCIL LAYS WAR TO CAPITAL Biiclinnnn's New Organization Asks Wilson to Stop Arms Exports. Washington, June 22. Labor's Na tional I'e.ice Council, the organization hl!i lu-presentatlve Ruchanan of Il linois has called Into being "to promote peaix," has ndopted an ambitious pro gramme, Here are some of the things fiat the council decided to advocate at meeting here to-day : 'Tho enactment of laws that will enable the United States Government to Immediately take over as exclusive Gov ernment business within the United Mates, all manufacture of arms. Instru ments and munitions of war. "Recommendations to the President 'that tIP policy of President Washing ton, 17'J3, prohibiting the sale and ship ment of munitions of war bo followed by Proclamation prohibiting the sale and shipment to belligerent nations of muni tions and instrumentalities of war, as jell as of nil materials used In the pro duction and manufacture of tho same." The council resolved that "one of the gulii causes for the maintenance of WKe mllltar and naval establishments, Jr"lch la it standing menace to peace. Is JJat patent rights on and the manufac "' of arms, munitions and Implements ?' witr arc m the han-ls of International combinations of capitalists, who sell their produc's Indiscriminately und pro mote their sale by arousing and en couraging feelings or national prejudice and Jealousy and by employing periodical war scares." The council recommends the Im mediate calling of an extra session of longress to promote universal peace. U. S. AGAIN TOLD TO KEEP OUT OF MEXICO Villisins, in Conference With Admiral Howard, Agree to Attack Yaqnls Once More. DANIELS WIHES CAUTION Washington, June 22, News was re celVed here to-day that at a conference held aboard the battleship Colorado be tween Admiral Howard, commanding the l'nclfle fleet nnd Gen. I,eyva, VII llsta commandant at Gunymas, an ar rangement was made under which the Mexicans wilt send another force Into the Yaqtit Valley to protect the lives of foreigners who are known to be In danger. Gen. I.eyva frankly told Admiral Howard thnt If American marines were landed the purposes of the United States might c misinterpreted by the Mexican people. This Is the second time that the Vllllstas have conveyed Information to this Government that trouble might follow any nttcmpt on the part of Ad miral Howard to send his marines and bluejackets Inlnnd to protect American lives and property. Tho first expedition sent to Esperanxa, where the American colony thnt this Government Is determined to protect Is located, was routed by the Indians. If a like fate should befall the second ex pedition, some officials do not see how the United States can longer delay tak ing action on Its own account. In n way Admlrnl Howard's hands nro tied. He was directed by the Sec retary of the Navy to-day to take no steps of importance without telegraphic consultation with tho Department. Or ders to this effect already have been Issued. The action of Secretary Daniels in empnnsizing tnem In supplemental Instructions. It Is feared, might prevent Admlrnl Howard from acting at Just tne time when action la most needed to save the American lives In Jeopardy. The Government apparently has no Intention of permitting Admiral Howard to send his force inland ns long ns there Is any hope that the Vllllstas will be able to deal with the situation. Only meagre Information has been received relative to conditions In the Ynitul Val ley. As the Indians nre well armed officials here fear that thoy have in flicted great damage on foreign Interests by this time. Such Information ns is at hand Indicates that the Yaqtil Valley has been devastated by the Indians. A force of 1,500 troops under command of Gen. Raymond Sosn has left l.uay mas and they are expected to put a quietus on the Indians in a short time. If they fall the United States will be forced to act. Aside from the situation on the west coast ofllclala are deeply Interested In political developments In Mexico. Re ports received here seem to indicate that the forces of disintegration are at work among the Vlllista faction, while Carranza appears to be setting his house In order. It now seems to be established thnt Oen. Obregon has not deserted Carranza, as reported, and that In fact he Is In tensely loyal to the First Chief. Des patches were received at the Carranza agency to-day from Vera Cruz carrying statements by Obregon In which he Is represented ns professing loyalty to Car ranza and the Constitutionalist cause. Obregon advised against treating with Villn. Announcement was made at the head quarters of the American Red Cross that Stephen Honsal, the writer, had started for Mexico as the representative of the Red Cross to mnke a geneMl survey of the work there and report to Washington. His experience In Spanish American countries was thought spe cially to fit him for the work. He goes as the representative solely of the Red Cross. Mr. Donsal has al ready sailed from Galveston for Vera Cruz. 300 WOUNDED PERISH. Villa's Hospital at Chlhuahna De strayed lijr Flrr. EL Pabo. June 22.

POWER RECEIVERSHIP FOUGHT. International Co. Appeals Against Insolvency Judgment. Trenton, N. J June 22. Charges of fraud and mismanagement on the part of Joseph II. Iloadley and his nssocl. ates In connection with the affairs of the International Power Company were revived before the Court of Errors anu Appeals to-day, when argument was heard on the two appeals of the com pany from the orders of Chancellor Walker adjudging the company Insol vent and appointing a receiver to wmn up Its affairs. The burden of the company's case, presented by former Supreme Court Jus tice Gilbert Collins, wtas that the com pany was not Insolvent within the meaning of the statute; that Its assets were more than Butllclent to meet nil claims; that It was not Immediately threatened by Importuning creditors; that it Iwd not been stripped of tts moro valuable assets by Mr. Iloadley nnd his associates, and finally, that the receivership proceedings brought by Mr. Hull and others were Instituted nt the Instigation of Interests other than those of the stockholders. Hegardlng the latter point Mr Collins charged that the animus back of the suit was to prevent tho Internntlonnl Com pany from becoming S competitor of the New York Kdlson Company by prevent ing It from putting into operation the franchises granted to the long Acre Light and Potvcr Company. Answering these defences counsel for Mr. Hull Insisted the compuny had lost Its Income producing assets through the manipulations of Mr. Iloadley nnd his associates and ridiculed the idea that It had actual control of the Long Acre company franchises,. As.n statement of Inw counsel for Mr. Dull said ; "A corporation having book assets of millions, omposed or the capital stocks of other corporations, none of which has paid a dividend for years; out lawed notes, patents and patent rights and Investments In mining companies which have yielded no returns nnd hav ing debts totalling $250,000 without any money to pay them, Is Insolvent OPEN SHOP MEN HA VE UNION AGENT ARRESTED Charles H. Bausher, GenerarRepresentative of Carpen ters, Is Arraigned on Charge of Conspiracy Use of Spies Alleged in Complaint. Criminal proceedings growing out of the long fight made by open shop sash, door and blind manufacturers of New York and Brooklyn against the carpen ter's union were begun yesterday in tho Gates avenue police court, when Charles H. Hausher, general ngent of tho pls trlct Council of the United Urotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, was nr rnlgned on charges of conspiracy to In jure trade under the anti-trust laws and the Penal law. Warrants for three other officers of tho union have been Issued by Magis trate Folwell on tho sarfie complaint, made by John Rosscrt of the firm of I.ouls Ilossert & Son, one of the largest sash, door and blind houses In the coun try. In the affidavit supporting his com plaint Mr. Hossert srfys that his busi ness In Manhattan, formerly amounting to more than, $300,000 a year, has been reduced to almost nothing by the repres sive nets of the union. The criminal action Is a part of the country-wide strugglo being conducted by the Anti-Roycott Association against the United Urotherhood, nnd was brought, according to Walter Qordon Merrltt. who with Daniel Davenport is counsel for the association, only after the union had repeatedly violated In junctions granted to Ilossert & Son by the supremo court. Several suits to restrain the union from calling strikes becnuse of the use of non-union trim and one for damages are now pending. The Antl-Hoycott As sociation represented the manufacturers In the Danbury hatters nnd lluck Stove nnd Range Company litigations, and Mr. Merrltt snys, will push this tight with every resource at Its command. Bosarrt's Affidavit, Mr. Hossert's affidavit asserts the ex istence of an alliance between the union otrtclnls and manufacturers running open shops for the stamping out of open shop products. These manufacturers, he says, employ spies to watch the disposition of non-union materials nnd when they nre found being put Into buildings the unions are notified to get busy and call a strike. Such action, the nffl.lavlt continues, Is almost always followed by the signing of an ngreement between the constructor and the union that only union material will be used In the future umlcr pennlty of a fine of 12.S00. The result of this cooperation, Mr. Merrltt snys. Is such that whereas formerly most of the big shops In the country were non-union, their trade has dwindled nnd the little manufneturera by acceding to the union demands nnd working with them have succeeded to what was formerly non union business. The attempt to orgnnlze nil the non union shops In the country nnd bring them under the control of the brother hood began In 1901 when there were only 200 union mills In the United Stntes, Mr. Merrltt added. The movement hit New York In 1305 and was so success ful that when the Antl-Hoycott Associa tion was called in five years ago to help the non-union manufacturers by litiga tion almost nil the material brought Into Manhattan was union made. In 1910, Mr. Merrltt said, the first test of' strength between the two factions came when n strike was called on the Cathedral of St. John the Divine because the choir stall nnd other decora tive woodwork was being Installed bv Irving & Casson. non-union manufnc-1 tight to resist these attempts to monop turers of art work.

Ai.hant, June 22, Charles Keeker's plea to be saved from the electric chair by Gov. Whitman, who twice secured his conviction on the charge of murder In the first degree. Is now before the Governor, although no written applica tion for a commutation of sentence has been presented. Martin T. Manton, counsel for Recker, made a flying trip to Albany this afternoon, nnd for more than an hour he and Gov. Whitman dis cussed the case and the application for clemency. "There has been no date nrranged for a formal hearing of the Hecker case," said the Governor after his talk with Manton. Hecker has less than three weeks to live under the sentence of the Court of Appeals fixing the week beginning on July 12 for his execution. Within that short time Gov. Whitman must decide whether or not life Imprisonment would be a sufficient punlBhment for the man ho believes Incited the death of Herman Hosenthal In front of the Hotel Metro pole In 1912. Gov. Whitman himself will decide the case. He will not dodge responsibility by leaving the State and letting I.leut. Gov, Kdward Schoeneck hear the ap plication for clemency, he let It be known to-day, and he cannot stand aside while In the State and let the Lieutenant-Governor handle the case, be cause the Constitution expressly clothes the Governor with the power to commute death sentences. Much as he might like to let some one else decide the case be cause ot the fact that his prosecution of Hecker Is considered to have been one of the leading causes of his election I ns Governor, he will make the final decision. No one seems to doubt that Oov. Whitman will deny the Hecker appeal. Not even the action of Georgia's Gov ernor In commuting the sentence of Leo Frank will have any effect on the Hecker case, It Is declared. Gov, Whit man ns District Attorney believed Hecker should die In tho electric chair as a pen alty for the Itosenthnl kllllim', nnd still does, It Is declared. ALLOWS ROCK ISLAND SUITS. C'onrt Decision Opens Way for Ilond holders' Action, The United States Circuit Court of Ap peals, in an opinion handed down yester day, permits certain of the bondholders of the Chicago, Itok Island nnd Pacific Itallroad Company to intervene In the equity receivership proceeding ugalnut the rullioad In the United States Dis trict Court. This gives the bondholders the oppor tunity to fight the Injunction of the Fed eral court preventing them from press ing suits In the State courts, In which the railroad and certain of Its directors are asked to account for the alleged squandering of some of the road's assets. vented the work being stopped. Then the union otllclals felt so sure of their work In Manhattan that they ex tended their nctlvltles to Urooklyn, up ct. .fling to the association's lawyer. At that time more than 1,000 shot were under the Jurisdiction of the union. Hossort & Son were nffccti-d a venr later and secured an Injunction, which, ' Mr. Merrltt says, has been persistently' Violated, A week niru rontemnt tiro. I ceedlngs for violation of the injunction were brought before Judge Crane In ths Supremo Court, nnd argument was heard on It yesterday about the same time that warrants were Issued by Magistrate Folwell. llnnslier I'nrnlrd. When Rnusher, who la said to have directed nnd supervised all the strikes ngnlnst non-union shops In the last year, was arraigned he was paroled In the custody of his counsel, Charles Ueattle, for examination. Tho employment of spies, Mr. Hossert says, was made necessary by the union manufacturers, some outside of New York, who sold goods here, because they could not compete with the lower price non-union goods unless they hnd the aid of the union boycott. This led to nn ngreement between the manufacturers nnd the union lenders, the expenses being paid from the treasury fund of the Manufacturing Woodworkers As sociation. -Mr. Rosscrt cites the case of Jacob Schwartz, a Urooklyn builder using liossett & Son trim, ns one Illustra tive of the way this agreement worked. He snys that In 1911 a Im.lni... .i...m of the then Joint District Council named rreuencis unuy, called on Schwnrtz nt a placo whero he was building two tenements and told him thnt ho would have to give up using Ilossert A Son's material. How One Strike Was Culled. A strike wns called, although Dhuy. according to the nindavlt. "stated to said Schwnrtz that he hated to call said strike because the carpenters wero well tni.a but thnt he was receiving communica tions irom manufacturers nnd builders In the neighborhood nrotcstln the union for permitting Hossert's ma terial to be used." The extent of this contest being waged i uir nun-union manufacturers Is shown by the following statement from Mr. Merrltt : 'The Danbury hatters case," he says. "dlsiosed of the ordinary boycott where u man's trade was destroyed by luycot tlng his customers, and compelled the abandonment by the American Federa tion of I.nbor of Its unfair list, for fear of prosecution under the anti-trust Inw. Labor unions do not seem to be yet sat isfied, however, that the principles laid down In this great case are ns applicable to combinations to destroy Interstate trade by calling strikes against factories or buildings where open shop products nre used, nnd In many Industries and communities are actively engaged In nttempts to drive open shop products out of commerce by combinations of this character. "The tight that Is going on In New York city over the use of open shop wood trim Is but a manifestation of this general disturbance, and the litigation which hns developed from It promises to solve this question for tho country ut large. "The criminal proceedings which hav Just been Instituted by the open shop manufacturers nre a part of the general GUNDA, BAD ELEPHANT IN BRONX ZOO, KILLED Truculent Career Ended With Single flullet Fired ly Carl E.

EX-POSTMAN AT 74 STARTS NEW TASK Francis Scannell Campaigns to (let U. S. Pensions for Old, Carriers. Ql'IT TO AVOID DISCHARGE Frnticls Scannell. who carried United Stales mnll for forty-live yenrs In the Mndlson Square district, whllo the pleas ant dwelling houses were being changed to huge skyscrapers, told yesterday how he had rctlrcvl without n pension from the service rnlher than be automatically discharged because he had been pre vented by n long siege of sickness from carrying mall for moro than 150 days In the year. Scannell ald that he Intended dur ing tho remaining years of his life to do all he could to prevent younger car riers In the service from undergoing n similar bitter experience by campaign ing for pensions for tho mm to whom Uncle Sam's mall Is entrusted and ad vocating the suspension of the 150 day rule. Tall, strongly lnillt nnd still pos sessed of much of the briskness of youth, despite his 74 years, Scannell looked fit yesterday In his home nt 125 Irvlnit ave nue, Urooklyn, to shoulder a heavy mall sack again, but nearly half n century of climbing long Mights of stairs had af fected his heart. "It Isn't for me that I want pensions for carriers," he said yesterday, "for they'll be a long time coming and I won't long hao need for one. Hut I've seen many a likely lad go In as n carrier and work long yenrs In the service nnd then be dropped without hope of nn other Job when he's too feeble to work longer. For some of them, uho by tei son of a big family couldn't put by enough to keep them. It meant the poor bouse nnd for others It meant living on their children. "It does seem n bit hard when you look at what those big corporations are doing for their old employees that Uncle Sam won't give you even enough to keep you In tobacco for your pipe after using up your lifetime to carry his malls. "Tho districts In the old days were a deal larger than they nre now, fcir Mad ison Square wan the hoinn of the wealthy and the houses were well spread apart. There was no heavy car rying much then, but It wns the wnlklng and the long hours that made It hard work. There was no eight hour law then and we worked for thirteen or fourteen, or as long as they pleieed, rometlmes. "I never thought I'd sec big auto trucks carrying the mall as fast ns a locomotive through streets. In 1S70 we got along fast enough nn foot and with horses, nnd It wns pleasant and safe, to, to go along the dirt roads, with your bag on your arm. to hand out Ittters to children who r.wd after you. "Yes, I worked during the blizzard of 88, and 1 11 always remember how we got through the drifts every dny of the i storm for one delivery at least. Tho tlrst big day was the worst and It was many n long hour berore we dragged our bags back to the post office. "I don't want you to think I'm com plaining about the way I've been treated, for I'm not, but I'm hopeful that the people In Washington will learn how badly some old carriers, and young ones who are getting dd, need pensions. Perhaps If I could have taken a long rest when my heart began troubling me last July I would be working now. I kept on, for I knew I'd be dropped If I stayed out more than 150 days, with but little chance to get bacX again, i "I worked Irregulnrl), but ns best I could until a couple of weeks before Christmas. Then 1 got pneumonia as 1 well as another heart attack, nnd that laid me up for good. The doctors g.ive I me up, hut I dldn t, and I managed to fool them.
