I 'His action in the Leo M. Frank murder case which he Investigated in Georgia also brought forth rather caustic comment from some of the delegates. It also was ordered that all police chiefs, detectives and other officers who are not members of the associa tion and who use its official insignia, on their stationery without permission should be legally prosecuted. The convention resolved that cities which found segregation the best method of controlling the social evil were justified in retaining that policy^ Papers were read on both sides of the Issue, some declaring against rigid law enforcement and others advocat ing that every law should be enforced by the police, includidg those against tbs liquor traffic and'the social evil.' By acclamation the association today reelected' Major Richard Sylvester, of. Washington, D. C., and Michael llegan; of Buffalo, N\ Y.. respectively, presi dent and first vico president. Frank J. CasBar, of Elmira, N. Y., was elected secretary treasurer. The convention adjourned to meet next, year in Cincinnati. Chief C. G. Klser, of Norfolk, Va,; delivered an address on "The Police; and the Press." He declared himself a firm believer in legitimate publicity and asserted that men In public offices In general and police chiefs in parti cular make a grave mistake in refus ing to recognize the value of a news-: paper's friendship. He said: "Previous training makes me incline toward the press, but; the inclination .has been justified by years of police: experience and a splendid treatment; accorded' me. by the press. Norfolk; jiotf. only has justified my attitude; but has been of Incalculable support' In. making the police work of the city as effective as lt hasy been." A new by-law was adopted which j provides no man can belong to the i association who had been publicly, ?barged with dishonest y or other cor-; ruptton in office and beon found guilty.

"The United States is a party to the mediation In the hope tji?t lt might lead tb peace and that the' peace Wbiild 'lead tb prosperity. 'TIA* plan the American representatives propose and on which we must Insist Will be formulated soiely With that end in view." In another paragraph which is the American government's practical re jection of the mediators' plan, reads: "American objections to the plan approved by the Mexican representa tives hove been based on the profound conviction that the adoption of that plan would not stop the progress of the victorious army, nor bring that apeedy peace which the American gov ernment 'bo sincerely desires." The confused military conditions in Mexico continued to absorb the atten tion of th? mediators and delegates. Exactly how far the breach between Villa "and Carranza would affect the constitutionalist, movement was mucb discussed. - JOHN M. CANNON SHOT IN THE BACK Is The Testimony Brought Out in The Trial at Laurens on Friday Laurens, June 19- That the two wounds in the hack, ca used the death of Col. John M.

Sullivan, was the statement ot Dr. Rogers, who was the first witness for fhn state in the ease against young Sulivan, who was placed on trial for his life today.

REVISION Naon ?onfered With President (Continued from Page 1.) and General Huerta was that military operations at Vera Cruz should be suspended during the progress of the mediation.0't?e're is not the slightest Intention1 on General Funston's part to take-tli? initiative in any offen sive Operations in the imm?diate fu ture. ; Moreover, it is well understood at tho war department that for his part. General Huerta does not intend to or der an attack on Vera Cruz. Huerta would probably much prefer.to have the Americans in control of the only port through which he can count on making hts escape from Mexico in case of need, than to have lt fall into 'the possession of the Constitutional ist*. So with both Bides willing to refrain from a resumption ot hostilities, it 1B believed probable that the only re sult in the event of a collapse of the mediation1' negotiations at Niagara Palls would be a recurrence of the conditions that e"'sted before peace ful settlement was suggested. f' ? >ai <*--.

(The Ruling of the Georgia Railroad As Regards Shippers. .Atlanta, June 19.-The final order of the state railroad commission just handed down in the matter of revis ion of the express rates, rules and practices ia Georgia, is the first gen eral revisiou that has been attempt ed since 1892. and is in the belier of .the commission, the most Important and . far reaching work that the body has accomplished during the past 5 years. In the revision ot the express rates, for instance, particular and careful consideration was given in making a favorable and attractive rate on fruits and 'vegetables and' the commission has applied very low rates to this class of traffic tn the hope that lt ?will . encourage truck ' farming and fruit growing, as it Uss 'never been encouraged before by offering these attractive rates to Georgia, marketa. It ia boped that the reduction in reve nue to the exprese companies on these commodities will be more than off set by an increase in the volume of business. ? And now the commission In its ad vance sheets, to the report to the gov ernor and the legislature, ls earnest ly calling attention to the necessity of .making. a complete and- radical revision of its freight, classifications and standard tariff. 8uch a work I would be monumental and would be! of Incalculable benefit to the shippers ot the state. A thorough revision, the commis sion states, will be a long and expen sive task involving larger clerical force and more funda, but as the re vision ls essential to the in-.erf st s of! the shipping public the commission ls hopeful that these funds will be forth coming from the state. ' Nothing else Btands1 in the why nt the work, as the people as a whole, it 1 is stated, understand the importance of keeping the personnel o? the com mission intact, until this revision ia completed.

Change Tactics In Senate Fight (Continued from Page 1.) a petition to have the heBt man In town hanged ar. t day." First Flowers. Senator Smith made his usual speech In defense-of his stewardship, of what an uphill climb lt had been to get cotton legislation through the senate, when there were only five far inera there and two exclusive farmers from South Carolina. He presented facts and figures as proof conclusive, and pledged to continue his efforts in this direction if returned. This was the home of Senator Smith's first wife, and he waa conse quently no stranger here. This is the town where he was the day of the Haskellite convention in Columbia which he was accused of attending. Two large bunches ot flowers were presented him by admiring friends.. These were tbe first bouquets to bo "thrown" since the campaign opened. Not more than 400 person attended the meeting here today.
