GEORGIANS YELL AGAINST SLATON IM Msrohss en His Nome; Militia Is Gsiled Gut I EXECUTIVE HOB) IN EFFIGY Demonstrations C'-Ci-r When Governor Saves Life of _eo M. Frank —in! Atlanta Mob or F'-'olestors After Parading Streets Gather In House and Senate C Timbers at Capitc! ar.d i Held Indignation Meeting. Atlanta, June 22. —A crowd estimat- 1 ied ai 10,0u0 persons formed in the j center of Atlanta last night and after 1 : listening to speeches denunciatory of , Governor Slaton because the executive , commuted the death sentence of Leo M. Frank to life imprisonment, began a march to the governor's country home, six miles from the city. "We want John M. Slaton, Georgia's traitor governor," cried the mob as it left the city. Company C, Georgia national guard, was hurriedly summoned to the gov ernor's home and a cordon was formed about the gates. The governor then proclaimed martial law for a distance of one-half mile on either side of his estate and instructed Captain Cheron, commanding the troops, to order a crowd of about 700 men, which had assembled near the gates, to disperse. Advancing with fixed bayonets the militia soon scattered the crowd. When informed a mob was coming to his home Governor Slaton said: "The mob can come and tear me to pieces, but 1 will know that I have done what I have done to uphold the right and honor of Georgia. The ones j who are howling the loudest now are the very ones who will be the first to approve my action in a short time. I couldn't hang any man when there was a doubt as to his guilt. I could not sit here like Pontius Pilate and turn Frank over to be executed. I had to do what was right. The whole thing is just this: The people who are doing all the talking have not read the evidence in the Frank case." Indignation meetings are being held in many towns at which resolutions denouncing the governor are adopted, j At Marietta, where Mary Phagan was born and buried, Governor Slaton has been hanged in effigy. Following a great mass meeting at which Slaton was bitterly denounced a life size dummy was suspended from a tele graph pole in the public square with this inscription: "John M. Slaton, King of the Jews and Georgia's traitor governor." The governor was also hanged in , effigy at Woodstock and other places. Turbulent crowds marched through Atlanta's streets denouncing the gov ernor, but there has been no approach to rioting. Only five arrests were made and these were for disorderly j conduct. All the police reserves were out, however, and the city authorities closed all the near beer saloons and I the focker clubs. The most striking demonstration oc curred at the capitol, where several thousand people gathered and yelled, "We want John M. Slaton." The crowd did not find the governor, how ever, for he did not leave his home. The crowd after hearing denunciatory addresses from the capitol steps in vaded the capitol and held meetings in the house and senate chambers at which resolutions denouncing the gov ernor were adopted. The tenor of the resolutions is that Governor Slaton has destroyed trial by jury and broken down the courts of Georgia. "f.ll 1 ask is that the people of Georgia read my statement and con sider calmly the reasons that I have given for commuting Leo M. Frank's sentence to life imprisonment," said Governor Slaton. "Feeling as I do about this case I would be a murderer if I allowed that man to hang. I would rather be ploughing in a fieid than to feel for the rest of my lii 3 that I had that man's blood on my hands." The governor discussed with report ers some of the points which led him to commute the sentence. He showed a remarkable familiarity with the record and when reporters remarked on the fact he said: "1 have learned that record almost by heart. Mr. Dorsey himself, I don't believe, is more familiar with the record than I am." The governor is positive in his 1 statements indicating that all doubt of the guilt of Conley and the inno cence of Frank has been removed from his mind by his careful study of the facts of the case. The governor's decision, which makes about nine ordinary newspaper columns, is a thorough review of the case from the beginning. Frank Predicts Exoneration. Milledgeville, Ga..

In some parts of southern India the natives have a custom of marriage be tween cousins which Ls a result of a strange compromise between two op posite rules of succession. The natives are Dravidians, who have come under Brahmanical influence. Among the Dravidians the mother was the bead of the family and all descent and in heritance came through her. The Brah manical rule of succession is through the father. According to F. J. Richards, writing in "Man." the matrilinear communit; . while being unwilling to give up its traditional custom, saw the advantage of insuring to children the benefit of the natural desire of the father— the ; worker and provider—to provide for- I Ms offspring. Therefore they adopted I the custom of a man marrying the daughter of his mother's brother. <<i his father's sister or of his own sister. In this way a community in which all property is inherited through the mother conforms to the patrilinear sys tem and so keeps the property in the family, this, according to Mr. Rich ards. being the economical reason for the strange custom.

CARE OF A WATCH Uncle Sam's Experts Wi;l Tell You All About It. WINDING IS ALMOST AN ART. It Should C? Done Cautiousty and With the Strictest Regularity—Even the Sire of the Watch Pocket May Affect the Accuracy o: a Timepiece. Do yoii know how to bundle, carry and wind your watch properly? Do you know at what lime of the day you should wind it. the pocket In which it is best to carry it and the position in which you should leave your watch a f night or when it is not in use? These are some questions which Uu cle Sam will answer for his 100,000,000 nieces and nephews or such of them as are the possessors of pocket watches. Instructions as to the use and care of watches are given in a publication is sued ly the bureau of standards. They are based on conclusions reached by ' scientists after careful tests and on the practical experience of some of the leading watch manufacturers of the land. The importance of handling a Que watch carefully and of winding it reg ' ularly is known to almost every one. But rules for the proper treatment of watches always have varied greatly, and it is for this reason that the bu reau of standards investigated the mat ter and prepared standard instructions which it advises owners of watches to follow. ! The bureau. In its set of rules, first cautions against allowing a watch to fall or receive a severe jar, either of which is liable to Injure the mecha nism, especially in the bending of a pivot or the breaking of a jewel. The mere fall of a watch to the end of its chain (ft the jar it may receive when the ar ticle of clothing in which it Is being carried is thrown down or dropped may cause serious injury to the move ment. Even the sudden motions or jar of Jumping on or off a street car may injure it seriously. Likewise care should be taken to keep a watch from becoming magnet ized by proximity to electrical appa ratus. although the troubles from this cause are being reduced by the pres ent type of construction of dynamos and motors. The watch case should be opened as seldom as |>ossible and then only in places where there is litt ; c chance of dust getting into the move ment. A broken watch crystal should be replaced promptly, even if the watch has a hunting case. Concerning the importance of wind ing a watch regularly the bureau of standards states: "Even the delay of an hour hi the time of winding may cause considera ble variation in the rate in some in stances. The winding should not be done jerkily, but steadily and not too rapidly, and its conclusion should be approached carefully to avoid injury to the spring or winding mechanism. "It is generally regarded as slightly better to wind the watch in the morn ing than at night, as the large varia tions of the balance under the tight spring will perhaps give more uniform results with the movements and jar of the watch during the day than if the butane* Tbcv", enbjortoi f the lesser tension twelve hours after winding. The difference is, however, not so important as the regular wind ing of the watch. "The pocket in which one carries his watch, the size of the pocket and the kind of watch chain or fob used have : a more important effect on the unl formity of a watch's rate than is gen erally realized. In a large pocket the watch is apt to turn to the right or left by various amounts, giving irregu lar rates, unless one adopts some meth od of holding it upright. Perhaps tb best method to prevent a watch turn ing in this way, other than actually pin ning it in place, is to keep the watch in a chamois or kid watch bag. such as may be obtained from Jewelers, in correct size to fit one's pocket. The watch cannot turn in this if of tlx proper size, and the friction of the bag in the pocket prevents it turning. Th ' bag also protects the watch and keeps It cleaner." The care of the watch at night or <vhen it is not in use Is another Impor tant Item concerning which the bureau of standards states: "At night or when the watch is not in use it is desirable to leave the watch in the same position as during the day, and preferably in some place where it will not be subject to any great temperature change. If it is de sirable to leave the watch in a hor. zontal position during the night for the sake of compensating any considerate? gaining or losing of the watch in the pendent up position during the day the same precaution to avoid marked tem perature changes should be ooserved. and the regularity with whicn such ;• change of position is carried out rnav be as important as regularity of wind tag."—Washington Star Nothing Precipitate.
