According to tho Atlanta Jens, let

"Carry me In your purse. Stop nd

shall It go to a fund to protect mur

think. Now Is the time to show your
colors, to show your true, American
blood.
"Is It streaked? Can't you buy cloth

This little card Is only a little, ant

Demonstrations against Gov. Slaton
continue- He was hanged and burned
in efflsy at Columbus In presence of n
jreit crowd, many of whom were women
ir.4 Slrls. It Is said three girts got
pistols from their fathers and fired Into
the Governor's efflux.
Atlanta was normal on the surface
to-lay. Most of the 'troops were re
moved from Gov. Slaton's.country home,
only a small guard being left. The
troops, however, aro under orders to be
in readiness to respond to a sudden call.
Humors persist that a great antl-Slaton
lemonstratlon will be made at the Cap
itol on Saturday when the Governor
ltits office and Judge Nat Harris la
tr.awu rated.
Troops for Inanirarnl.
It Is reported that hundreds from
the country nre coming to the Inaugura
tion for the purpose of showing their
il'sapproval of Slaton. A large num
ber cf State troops have been ordered
to attend tho exercises and the authori
ties nlil be prepared to cope with any
cjtbre.ik.
Oov Slaton was at the Capitol to-day
tor ceral hours to transact his duties
in connection with the opening of the
L(rtUture. Tho Governpr did not per
tor.ally read his annual message, but
transmitted It to the officers of the Housa
ird the Senate by his secretary. The
Prank case Is not mentioned In the
raeesage. The members of the Legisla
ture gave no outward sign of their feet
rat about the Governor. Privately the
peat majority of them strongly disap
prove of his action.
No trouble Is reported at tha State
prison farm near Mllledgevllle, where
Frank Is confined, though double guards
are still on duty. Frank has made a
rood impression on the other prisoner
anl Is regaining his nerve. lie was
put to making beds this morning and
looked like a clown In a suit several
sites too large for him. Frank used to
visit Mllledgevllle on business. He said
rather sadly to-day: "I thought I
would never come to Mllledgevllle as a
convict."
A. H. Henalee, who waa a member of
the jury that convicted Frank, has Is
sued an address to Georgia In which he
says:
"As a Juror and a citizen I wish these
few words could go to tho very depth
of every true Georgian's aoul: Our
Chief Executive has defied, debased and
conquered our courts.
'Had I power I would exile Slaton
nlhis law partner, Luther Hosser, from
Georgia.
"Fellow citizens, what promise have
e left for the protection of our daugh
ters, wives, sisters and mothers?
"Is It time for us to destroy our court
records, tear up our code and abandon
tV court houses?
"Is It time to request our Supreme
Court Justices to quit the bench nnd go
to the plough nnd In their places ha'e
such men as Slaton and Itosser?"
Hensleo says tha Jury on the second
ballot stood ten for first degree murder,
one doubtful nnd ono blank. Jlenslee
marked his ballot doubtful. After dis
cussion a viva voce vote was taken, re
Jltlnc unanimously for first degree mur
4r, Tho Jury then voted not to recom
mend to mercy.
Henslee siys the Jury paid little at
tention to Conley evidence, but were
convinced by other testimony.

TAFT, IN SPEECH, SCORES "MUCKERISM"
AND "CHATTER" IN COLLEGE ATHLETICS

Graduates.
Nw Haven, Conn.. June 23. Speak
ing to the nlumnl of Talo nt their an
nual luncheon to-day ejt-l'rcsldent Taft
made a strong declaration against ths
existing conditions In colleso athletics,
especially on the baeeball field.
"There la a difference between college
and professional baseball," said Mr.
Taft, "and when tho college man with
his talk, his Jibes, his muckerlsm, goes
even lower than the professional, It la
high time, for reform. I am a strong
believer In sport. But such expressions
as 'put his eye out' when dlrcted at an
opponent fall far below all college stand
ards. "Wc know that the college ball player
Is a gentleman off tho field. Then It la
our ditty to make rules and laws that
will keep him n Gentleman on the Hold,
ltullngs should be nude barring the In
sistent chatter.
"However, theic have been great re
forms. I can remember when a man
wjs perfected In athletics In the first
four years of college. Then he became
a pluperfect athlete nnd spent thitv
years In the law school, another three
years In the medical school and still
another three years In tho school of
religion. Happily, that period Is past
and now college athletics nre under
graduate athletics and that Is as It
should be.
"Still there Is rm for a greater
reform. This was brought to my atten
tion to-day when I was shown a letter
received by a member of the freshman
class. Tho letter offered to tho man In
particular all his expenses at another
college and a guarantee of a position
paying JI.OOO a ar after he graduated
If ho would attend that collego and give
It his services. This Is no new con
dition, but It Is one that should bo put
out of existence.
There la too much scouting for ma
terial being done by fond nlumnl socle
ties. It savors much of the professional
scout of baseball. It can be wiped out
easily, for the men who are nt the pres
ent time making these ofTers, which they
think are for the benefit of their alma
mater, aro men of calibre, and If they
nre shown that It Is wrong, If rule are
drawn up prohibiting such practices, the
men who are now engagea in tnem win
stop of their own accord,"

Dr. Henry Coffin of New York, who
received on honorary degree, was one of
the speakers at the nlumnl dinner. Ho
referred to the part he played with
other Ynle men some years ngo In
causing W. J. Hryan to abandon In
disgust an attempt to address a body of
Yalo undergraduates.
"At the time," Dr. Coffin continued,
"an aspirant to tho Presidency, who has
been a rerennl'il candidate ever since,
came to New Haven and some of us
undergraduates took It upon ourselves to
Interposo what seemed to him to bo
ample cause for postponing Tils remarks
for a year. He lost his tempor, you nil
recall, nnd with some others I wns sent
to tho dean about It ns being one of
the responslbles. The recent acts of
that somewhat tarnished patriot have
doubtless caused my alma mater to
deem me worth of a third or honorary
degree."
Dr. Coffin had received two decrees
from Yale before the honorary degree
to-day. In reply to the drive nt Mr.
rtrynn, Prof. Taft, who followed Dr.
Coffin, said:
"I feel that I must answer ths rather
light reference to the gentleman with
whom I have the profoundest sympathy
through common personal experience.
That gentleman said that I was elected
four years previous to the last election
by the largest plurality ever given n
candidate, but would be retired with
similar general approval. I stand hero
to defend him and to say that wo who
are trying to Inform tho world with our
lungs and throats must stand together."

DOCTORS TOLD OF
NEW CANCER DRUG1
Derived From Plnnt Life nnil
Discovered by Prof. Hor
wllz of Cornell.
TESTS RETNO MADE HE HE
RpRtxci Lake, N. J June 23. Dr. W.
Homer Axford. of the Polyclinic Hos
pital, New York, aroused great Interest
before the Medical Society of New Jer
sey to-dnj when ho said that In a drug
derived from plant life, discovered tw
years ago by Prof, Alexander Horwltz
of Cornell University, there had been
found what experiments Indlcnto will
provo a cnrntlvo agent for cancerous
growths nnd nil abnormal cell develop
ments. The new agent, which Dr. Axford said
was simple In form. Is applied hypo
dermlcally, being ns effective If placed In
n healthy part of the body ns In the
tumor mass Itself. Its use must bo
guarded, however, ns the element of re
nctlon Is dangerous, experiments have
shown. The drug has been npplled only
In enses called Incurable by physicians,
who havo sent patients to tho Poly
clinic for X-ray treatment ns a last ro
sort. Dr. Axford and Dr. J. Wallace Dover
Idge are In chsrgo of the work at the
Polyclinic. More than 200 patients have
been treated and only one has died. The
experimental work has not permitted a
thorough test of Its effectiveness In ab
dominal cancer cases. Dr. Axford said,
this branch having been taken up only
a few weeks ago.
The first work of those In charge of
the development of the drug was with
chest affections, and only three weeks
ngo the first treatments for nlidomlnnl
cancer were started. These apparently
have been as successful as the first kind,
according to Dr. Axford.
That the drug will be given to tho
medical profession of the world ns soon
ns Its curative properties have been
proved without question was tho promise
of Dr. Axford, who said It would still be
months and peihnps years beforo the re
search work could bo completed.
The quick effects of tho drug make It
advantageous In the treatment, Dr. Ax
ford said. Within a few days after the
Infection the skin of the patient tnvari
ably clears up and loses Its sallowncss j
there Is soon manifest a lessening of tho
pain and the tumor growth shortly be
gins to fall away In size and weight.
Dr. Axford said that both ho and Dr.
Heverldge would still urge tho use of sur
gery In the llrst treatment of cancer, ns
they had not been able to tako up the
dlseaso In Its primary stages as yet. He
made this statement, ho said, because he
could not say what the positive curative
valuo of the now drug would be.
Dr. Horwltz Immediately after his discover)-
of the drug consulted with Dr.
Silas Ileebe, also of tho faculty of Cor
nell University. Their Joint discoveries
led them to seek n field for experiment
nnd this was readily granted at the
Polyclinic Hospital, tho experimental
work having been turned over to Dr.
Ueverldge.
The first experiments with the drug
were In poultices, which were found to
greatly relieve the pain, but did not
show Indications of curative vnlue to
any great extent. It was not until a
few months ngo that It was prepared In
extract form suitable for hypodermic ad
ministration. BLIND, WINS $20,000 CASE.
Slifhtlrsi Lawyer Obtains Verdict

A blind lawyer obtained a verdict
for 120,000 yesterday In a damage suit

Port Townscnd, Wash., who nlso spoko
for his brother, dl. II. Ileecher. From
..Is summer home at Huck Hill Falls,
P.i., Col. William C. Ileecher. executor
of his father's will, sent a telegram ex
pressing his doubts of the propriety of
the pl.m. Col. Ileecher said :
"I do not know there Is any plan
to change Mr. Hcecher'a irrave and
doubt If It will be done. It can only
be done on consent of all the heirs,
and I do not know my brothers" feel
ings en the subject. I am doubtful
s to tho propriety of such change."
Gen. Horatio C. King, clerk of Ply
mouth Church nnd secretary of the
Hcecher Memorial Association, who
has said that only "come garrulous
wom'n" were objecting to the removal
plan, admitted yesterday thst the mes
sage from Col. Ileecher came as a sur.
prise to him.
"I cannot understand It," he said, I
had always thought that Will Ileoche
was henrtlly In favor of this plan to
honor his father's memory. He had
never spoken to mo nbout It, but Dr.
Hlllls told me thnt Will wanted the
body brought here to the ctfurch. as we
had planned. In fact I know It has
always been my belief that Will
Ileecher was ns nnxtous ns we were
that Ileecher's body should rest In the
church that he made famous.
"I am amazed nnd confused at this
development. Hut. of course. If ho
doesn't want his father's body moved
that settle It. He Is the executor and
he has everything to say. We were pre
pared to spend nt least J2.000 to build
a handsome memorial. We havs the
plan of the architect tn hand now It
Is a very beautiful design."
Sbatti.k. Wash., June 23. Capt. H. P.
Ileecher of Port Towr.send. son of Henry
Ward Hcecher, eays thnt the contem
plated removal of the body of the noted
preacher from Its resting place In
Green-Wood Cemetery Is directly against
the wishes nnd beliefs ot Henry Waisl
Ileecher as expressed when he was
alive.
"If h could be consulted In this mat
ter I know absolutely that ho would
emphatically say no." said Capt.
Ileecher. "He did not believe In re
moving bodies once they were burled,
and In one case which concerned him he
took a positive stand on this question.
I refer to his two children who died
nnd were burled nt Indianapolis. He
would not have the bodies moved to the
family plot In Green-Wood.
"As far as I nm concerned I have ex
postulated against the removal nf my
father's hody, but I do not suppose that
my voice will havs much weight from
mich a distance. My brother II. II
Ileecher hos objected also. There Is
nothing we can do except to say that
In our opinion the step Is Improper.
"There Is this much, however, that I
should like to see done If ths removal
must go forward, and that Is the re
moval nlso of the coffins of my mother
nnd the other children, who are burlod
together. I do not think It right to
take one and leave the rest.
"It looks to me as If the Hev. Newell
Dwight Hlllls. my father's successor. Is
trying to make an American Weatmln
Ister Abbey out of Plymouth Church."
BLUMLEIN TRACED
IN 'RIPPER' MYSTERY
Inspector Fnurot Looks Into

held In the Municipal Hospital, Phila
delphia, for examination ns to his sanity
whllo the police nre seeking to learn
If ho has nny knowledgo of the recent
"ripper" murders, So fnr nothing
definite has been established to connect
Hlumleln with tho crimes, according to
the detectives.
In a long examination by Inspector
Faurot In Phlln&dphla on Tuesday night
Hlumleln denleiiall knowledge of the
slaying of four-year-old Charles Mur
ray and of tlve-year-old Leonora Cohen.
Ho showed familiarity with the neigh
borhood of tho crimes, describing tho
building nt 270 First nvenue. In which
tho Murray boy lived, but no moro than
a person who had visited the place nfter
tho crimes had been described In tho
newspapers would hnve had.
Hlumleln nnd his nllegcd common law
wlfo formerly lived nt 42S Kast Fif
teenth street, near First nvenuo. They
moved to Greenpolnt some two or threo
weeks ago and went to Philadelphia
twelve. das ngo, two days before Mrs.
Hlumleln gave birth to a child. They
took rooms nt 209 North Sixth street.
Asked why he had left New York and
gone to Philadelphia, whero ho had no
friends, Hlumleln f.vld he. moved to get
away from a man whose namo and ad
dress on Greenwich street. New York
lie g.io to the police. Hlumleln said
tho man had been pursuing him nnd
trying to "cut my liver out."
It wns fear of this pursuit which led
Hlumleln to tho Philadelphia police
headquarters, he said, whero he asked
fnr a warrant for tho man. Ills Inco
hetent story resultod In his "being held
and sent to the hospltnl for thirty dnys
observation.
Inspector Faurot remarked yesterday
on the fact that a period of six weeks
elapsed between the Cohen and Murray
murders nnd another period of six weeks
between the Murray murder and the np
pea ranee of Hlumleln ut tho Philadelphia
police headquarters. Alienists are seek
ing to establish whether Hlumleln Is a
victim of any recurring form of mania.

"The lookers" ever consider
their purchasing power?
Did you ever stop to consider the tremendous
purchasing power represented by that familiar
class who come to look and remain to buy?
The man who says he is merely looking hopes
thereby to make his exit more graceful, in the
event that the proposition fails to appeal to him.
And the Equitable Building Corporation invites
particularly "the man who is merely looking,"
for if it be humanly possible for that man to be
persuaded into leasing new quarters, the

GROUT BANK VALUES
TOO HIGH IS CHARGE
lYstimony In Trlnl Shows
$55,000 Discrepancy on
IJrnnch Property.
Even the properties occupied by the
defunct Union Hank of Brooklyn wers
grossly overvalued In the bank report
of March 26, 1910, according to District
Attorney James C. Cropsey, who sub
mitted evidence to this effect yesterday
at tho trlnl of ex-City Comptroller Orout
for perjury.
William F. Corwltb. formerly a di
rector In the bank, testified as nn ex
pert on Oreenpolnt real estato that
the land and building occupied by the
Oreenpolnt, or Seventeenth wnrd, brnn' b
fn 1910 wns worth not morn than J95,.
000 at thnt tlmo. In tho falso bank re
port, 'however, this property was carried
at Its full "book" valuo. $150,000. Fur
thermore, Mr. Corwlth testified that he
had called XIr. Grout's attention to
tho overvaluation. According to his tes
timony Orout agreed with him nnd
added :
"Ah soon as the condition ot the bank
warrants It wo will mark It down."
Stephen C Haldwln, counsel for Orcnit,
sought to show on cross-examination
that Corwith himself as member of an
examining committee of directors had
Indorsed tho maximum valuation In a
formal report mnde to the bank. This
report, llko tho report which forms the
basis of the Indlstment against Orout,
Indicated on Its face that It wan sworn
to, but the witness could not recollect
having done so.
Corwlth pointed out. howevor, that the
question whether ho swore to the report
or not was really trivial, Inasmuch as
the report merely purported to show
the book value, lino.000, the space for
market vnluo hnvlng been left blank.
He was positive that J9T,O0u was a
generous valuation and that JJO.000
wo'ild probably come closer to tho mark.
Two other witnesses whom Mr. Crop
ey called had difficulty In qualifying
as experts. Oeorge J. Jardln, n coal
dealer, who snld thnt he had been specu
lating In Fast New York renl estato
for twenty.three years, was n.sked nbout
tho value of tho Atlantic branch.
This property wns valued nt $.10,000
iln the bank report, It was assessed nt
$16,000. Jardln wns permitted to say
that he had held nn option on It for
$28,000 when It was tho Atlantic Hank,
an Independent Institution. Dnvld A.
Sullivan later merged tho bank with
tho Union, nnd tho option having run
out purchased tho bank property for
$50,000. As the result of an examina
tion by Mr. Hnrdwln Jardtn wns not
permitted to say what In his opinion
the property was worth when tho fnlse
bank report was Issued.
A recess wns taken when Mr. Cropsey
endenvored to put n deputy tnx com
missioner on tho stand. Mr. Haldwln
objected thnt such testimony would not
be permitted even In condemnation pro
ceedings, nnd that It ought certainly to
be excluded In n erlmlnnl ense. Mr.
Cropsey nsked permission to submit a
brief on tho question.
The trial will go on to-day.
