? Atlanta, Ga., June 22: The trial of
Leo M. Frank, charged with the murder
of Mary Phagan, 14 years old,
whose mutilated body was found in
the basement of the'National Pencil
factory here April 27, will be'set for
June 30, according to the statement
of Solicitor General Hugh Dorsey today.
The defense, however, may ask
for and secure a brief postponement,
but It Is regarded as certain that the
baffling murder mystery will come to
trial soon. Frank was the superintendent
of the factory where the girl's
body was found. His former home was
in Brooklyn and it was recently reported
that the solicitor general had
rone there to Inquire into the defendant's
past life. Solicitor General
Dorsey, on his return from New York
today, denied this report.
? Bearing a personal plea for immediate
action by congress to revise the
banking and currency that business
may be aided in meeting the tariff revision,
President Wilson for the second
time went to the house of representatives
yesterday and personally
read his currency message to both
houses in joint assembly. The president
appealed to every member of
congress to lay aside personal considerations
and sacrifice comfort, even
health, if necessary, to secure immediate
reform In the nation's financial
system. After reading his message
the president freely discussed the Glass
currency bill with the newspaper correspondents
and indicated his intention
of backing it as he has been backing
the tariff bill. The general principles
of the bill the president thinks are
clearly defensible. He believes bankers
eventually will be glad of direction by
Federal reserve board over which they
have no control, but which would sareguard
their interests. The president
regards the provision compelling reserve
banks of one region to rediscount
assets of reserve banks of another
region, as imperative to prevent a
concentration of the funds in the
hands of a few.
? With th? acceptance in principle
of the president's peace plan by eighteen
nations. Secretary Bryan has felt
encouraged to develop some of the
details of the plan which so far have
been only generally outlined. On last
Sunday he made a statement touching
the composition of the proposed commissions
to Investigate controversies,
designed to meet suggested objections
that it would be impossible to provide
unbiased bodies of investigators whose
findings would command respect of the
principals. The statement is as follows:
"Mr. Bryan in stating to the
newspapermen that eighteen nations
had now accepted the principles of the
president's peace plan, the last nation
being Spain, gave one of the details
suggested for the completion of the
plan. The plan contemplates a permanent
International commission and
the president suggests that the commission
be composed of five nations,
as follows: One member from each of
the contracting countries, to be chosen
by the government; one member to
be chosen by each of the contracting
countries from some other country,
and the fifth member of the commission
to be agreed upon by the two
governments, the commission to be appointed
as soon as convenient after
the making of the treaty; vacancies to
be filled according to the original appointment.
This is merely a suggestion.
This government is ready to
consider any proposal that the contracting
parties may desire to make."
? The Webb law, forbidding Interstate
shipments of liquor into "dry"
states, ht not a criminal statute and
violations of it cannot be prosecuted
in United States courts. Attorney
Ueneral McReynolds so declared in
instructions sent last Thursday to
every United States attorney in the
country. The law merely prohibits
such interstate traffic and contains no
penalty for Infractions. "Its purpose,"
said the attorney general, "is
to permit state laws to operate In respect
to Intoxicating liquors moving
in interstate commerce." The law
simply deprives shippers of any
privileges they might claim on the
ground of Interstate commerce and
permits the application of state prohibition
laws to interstate commerce.
This Is the first time the department
of justice has construed the Webb
law, which was declared unconstitutional
by former President Taft and
former Attorney General Wickersham.
President Taft vetoed the bill
on the ground that it violated the
interstate commerce clause of the
constitution by delegating the regulation
of interstate commerce to the
states. Attorney General McReynolds'
interpretation Is said to mean
that the Federal government Is not
called upon to enfore a law for the
violation of which no penalty is Imposed
and that the Interstate commerce
forbidden by the law is "outlaw"
commerce in regard to which
the states are free to apply their statutes.
The attorney general did not
attempt to pass upon the constitutionality
of the act and it is believed that
this question ultimately may reach the
United States supreme court.
? Ten thousand veterans, who are
planning to take part in the semicentennial
celebration and the Blue
and Gray reunion on Gettysburg
battlefield next month, will find themselves
without quarters or subsistence
unless the celebration commission can
arrange to provide for them. The war
department has been notified that
50,000 veterans will attend, but there
are funds to care for only 40,000, and
Secretary Garrison on last Saturday
notified the commission that he would
not accept responsibility of entertaining
the additional number. The secrctnrv
iu>nt thin tAlnirram tn ttiA rnm
mission: "It you have arranged that
10,000 in addition are to attend, you
must provide the funds to take care of
them. There are no funds available
to me for this purpose, and I am positively
prohibited by express acts of
congress from incurring one dollar's
worth of expense over and above the
amounts specifically appointed for
this particular purpose." Discussing
the situation Secretary' Garrison
said: "The appropriation from congress
and all previous arrangements
have been based upon an estimated
attendance of 40,000 veterans. If
60,000 should come a most serious
situation would be encountered." Six
Confederate veterans and three Union
veterans were included in the committee
which will represent the house at
the Gettysburg celebration. The
house has formally accepted an invitation
from Pennsylvania to participate
and authorized the speaker to appoint
a committee, headed by himself.
In making the appointments,
Speaker Clark discovered that there
was not a single Union veteran on the
Republican side of the house. The
speaker shook his head sadly as he
commented on this and recalled that
when he came to Washington in 1893,
there were a dozen civil war generals
and a score or more colonels, majors
and captains in congress.
? While committees of both houses
of congress are preparing to press immigration
reforms at the next session,
Speaker Clark is giving attention
to the other side of the question. Emigration,
the speaker said in a statement
recently, is costing the United
States millions of dollars a year in
actual money aside from the loss involved
in giving up a real American
to be replaced by a foreign immigrant.

more attention be paid to the Influence
of emigration upon our future. These
Americans who are leaving us understand
our Institutions, our ways and
our aspirations, while most of the Immigrants
who enter this country have
to be taught these things. In one
week not long since 1,845 American
farmers with $388,500 in cash and
$145,000 in personal property, crossed
into western Canada to settle permanently
in British North America.
That's an ^verage of $388 per capita
and that week was below the weekly
average into that region alone. How
many go to other countries I do not
know. These emigrants are among
our best citizens. I am personally acquainted
with 200 or 300 of them.
There is not a bad or shiftless man in
the lot. They are seeking to better
their condition. The principal reason
they expatriate themselves Is the lure
of cheaper lands and a less stringent
land law as to homesteading, etc.
Congress should make our homestead
conditions as easy as possible, compatible
with safety and should increase
the area for home building by
judicious encouragement of both irri
gatlon and drainage. A statistician
has figured that the average adult citizen
is of the money value of 11,000,
considered solely as an asset to the
country. If this is true, the 1,846
American farmers who crossed the
Canadian border depleted the assets of
the republic that week by 12,378,600,
which multiplied by flfty-two would
make the grand annual total of loss
to the republic $123,682,000 gone to
Canada alone."

TUESDAY, JUNE 24, 1213
There are those who want currency
reform; but who would rather wait
until the next generation.
Tariff reform without currency reform
would indeed be a picnic for
those who occupy positions of vantage
in the financial world.
The country has not had a president
who knew his business better
than Woodrow Wilson knows his.
The salt water beating on the burning
sands would make things pretty
dreary at the IbIc of Palms this week,
If It were not for the fact that there
is plenty of good Goose creek ice water
to be had.
The man who can grasp and comprehend
a new idea after it has been
formulated, stands next to the man
who is capable of separating and
rounding up such an Idea, yet there
are still floating around loose, as many
new ideas as have yet been corralled.

Prominent Americans in Cuba have
sent President Wilson an extensively
signed testimonial as to the patriotism,
ability, fairness and fitness of Arthur
M. Beaupre. the retiring envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary to
fiihn and raniiMHrnr tha retention of
that official In the Cuban position. The
paper set forth how well and faithfully
the minister was representing the
interests of the United States, and
how acceptable he was to the Cuban
people, but at the same time care was
taken to set forth that Mr. Gonzales,
the new minister, is persona grata. Mr.
Beaupre, of course,- is a Republican.
Senator Jones from Washington
state has been holding up the business
of the senate during the past ten
days in an effort to force that body to
give him an additional clerk. Under
the rules of the senate, a member cannot
introduce a bill without unanimous
consent until after notice has been
given at a previous session, and Jones
is objecting on every notice. In the
house no notice is required of intention
to introduce a bill. The member
simply walks up and places his bill in
a basket opposite the speaker's desk,
and the bill is then buried in committee
or reported as those in control
see proper. There is a probability
that if Mr. Jones persists in his foolishness,
the senate which has already
broken several musty old precedents
at this session, will break another as
to the introduction of bills and adopt
the plan that obtains in the house.
The attention of th? entire country is
being called to the ..illy and unreason
able filibuster or senator Jones, ana
the sentiment that is being aroused
promises to be a plenty.
The state appropriated only $1,000
with which to pay the expenses of
South Carolina soldiers who desire to
go to the Gettysburg re-unlon. As far
back as a week ago, Gen. B. H. Teague,
of Aiken had received applications
calling for nearly three times the
amount of the state's appropriation.
The Columbia State subscribed $100
and called for subscriptions to cover
the balance required. Up to Saturday
about $500 had been raised and more
was coming in. Governor Blease wrote
Gen. Teague offering to borrow as
much money as might be needed on
an official Joint note, to be paid by the
governor and Gen. Teague provided
the general assembly should fail to
make go*od. It seems that there Is a
great deal of confusion in regard to
the matter at both ends of the line, in
Pennsylvania as well as in South
Carolina and the prospect is that the
attendance of old soldiers at Gettysburg
is to be much larger than anybody
had anticipated and it is going
to take some extraordinary expedients
to meet the emergency.
Licenced Newspaper Men.
A bill requiring newspaper men to
pass an editorial examining board before
they can be allowed to practice
their profession is being pushed by
Lieut. Gov. O'Hara of Illinois. The
alleged purpose" is to protect reputable
men in the business.?Tucson
Arizona Citizen.
There it goes again, and we suppose
it will always be that way; but
who is to pass upon the qualifications
of the examining board to pass upon
the qualifications of an individual
editor of a newspaper?
We have always understood Edmund
Burke's characterization of the
newspapers as representing a Fourth
estate as embodying the idea that in
addition to the legislative, Judicial
and executive estates, there was another
more powerful estate known as
public opinion, and that this estate,
found expression through the newspapers.
If this idea be correct, it seems to
us that any successful attempt to
place the newspapers under the dominition
of any kind of a commission
would close so many avenues of expression
as to amount to suppression.
But of course, we do not believe it Is
possible to place public opinion under
the direction of any kind of commission.
Public opinion is the one
power that is not to be controlled.
We remember reading a story some
years ago to the effect that a candidate
for admission to the bar applied
to a Georgia justice for examination.
The Justice asked questions to bring
out answers of race, nativity and age
and told the applicant to go ahead and
tack up his shingle. "Are you not going
to examine me as to my knowledge
of the law?" asked the young
man. "Oh, that's all right," replied
the Jurist. " Hang out your shingle.
If you prove too crooked, the public
will make you take It In; and if you
do not know enough to make a living
you will starve."
There is no business on earth that
depends more upon its own merits for
existence than does the newspaper
business, .and the idea of attempting
to control or even influence such a
business through examining boards of
any kind, strikes us as absolutely absurd.
The Jews used to have a law which
put in a mighty bad way, a man who
brought . an accusation that he was
unable to prove. That old law is now
virtually obsolete exceDt in its aDDlica
tion to newspapers. It a newspaper J
brings a charge and tails to prove It,
public opinion will always visit due
and righteous punishment There may
be those who have never thought ot
It; but this tact has always served to
keep the newspapers pretty straight,
and it will continue to operate that
way. There is no other one thing
that causes a larger death rate among
newspapers than untalr dealing. If It
were not tor this tact, there would Indeed
be need tor government regulation
of the newspapers.
BA8ESALL IN THE OLD DAYS
Clover's Ex-Catcher Writes Interestingly
of Great Times in the Long Ago.
Editor Yorkvllle Enquirer:
Thinking that it might be of interest
to some of the young baseball
fans, and recall pleasant memories to
older ones, I am going to give a few
reminiscences of baseball as it started
in York county along about 1884 or
I 100c. K.?? <n ^ With rn.
lOOU, UUl 1U OU UViU5 * v lO nikM *v
verance and tender feelings that I
mention the names of some good fellows
who have "laid down their bats
for the last time."
The first game worthy of mention
that I can recollect, was played between
Yorkvilleand Rock Hill resulting
In a victory for Rock Hill by a
score of 44 to 3, and this was the
game that made John Roddey famous,
(ex-mayor of Rock Hill) for it was
heralded abroad that he pitched a
"crooked ball." Of course such a
statement was doubted by many good
people who claimed that it was as
much of an impossibility for a man
to throw a curved ball as it was to
shoot a curve with a rifle, because
such a thing was contrary to the laws
of science. However, we young fans
took It In and looked upon Mr. Roddey
with as much wonder and admiration
as the average boy of nowadays feels
toward Ty Cobb, Hans Wagner and
Speaker.
The great victory for Rock Hill led
the boys of Clover to believe that we
could at least make a few runs off
Yorkville, so a team was organised
and in a few days a formal challenge
came from Yorkville. The challenge
was duly accepted and the first game
played on the home grounds, was
thrilling, dangerous and exciting.
mere were mtuiy ctusiuuueo. uui
good old friend, the veteran blacksmith,
sustained a broken nose as the
result of beng struck by a flying bat
Col. Lindsay, of Yorkvllle, received
a like wound, and Jim Riddle was
struck in the stomach, knocked unconscious,
and carried off the field.
Such minor accidents as broken
fingers are hardly worthy of mention.
The game resulted in a decided
victory for Yorkvllle?I have
forgotten the score?but It was something
like 60 to 12.
One amusing incident in connection
with this game was pulled off by
Barron for Clover (now president of
Manchester mills, Rock Hill). Barron
was playing left field and he always
played to win. Yorkvllle was at the
bat, with the bases full. Some fellow
knocked a long ball In Barron's territory,
which he saw was impossible
to get. In this extremity, he decided
to use a little headwork and announced
to the umpire that "the ball
was lost" He followed up the announcement
with the demand that
the runners return to the bases. This
brought a wrangle and the "baseball
scriptures" were searched from beginning
to end to find Barron's authority
for returning runners to bases
on a "lost ball." The umpire's decision
was against us and he ordered
the runners to be scored. There
was no quarreling with the umpire
in those days, for a few runs more
or less, was of little importance any
way. From this time on, Barron not
only studied baseball rules, but developed
Into a good player and helped
to win many brilliant victories
later on. He was severely crippled in
one game and will no doubt tell you
now that had it not been for a
bottle of "goose grease," (no such
thing as arnica was known in those
days) he would have been a cr.nple
to this day.
After this game, in which thfe
were so many casualties* many of tht
older heads advised that the game
ought to be prohibited by law as It
was too dangerous. However, It would
not down, though we decided not to
try Yorkvllle any more until we at
least learned the rules. Later a "double
header"?that Is, half of the game
to be played In the forenoon and the
other half In the afternoon was played
with Beth-Shlloh, a team under the
management of Alex Martin, (now
Rev. Alexander Martin, pastor First
Presbyterian church. Rock Hill). A
great game it was, but it is not known
to this day who won, as the scorer got
mixed up in his figures and he was
never able to straighten them out.
Alex and Rodger Martin were the
battery for Beth-Shlloh and while
Rodger was an excellent pitcher he
was very wild and punished Alex very
severely. At last the thing got to a
point where "forbearance ceased to be
a virtue" and Alex was in for giving
Rodger a licking; but the umpire interfered.
Shortly after this Clover-Beth-Shlloh
game, Will Beamguard was "discovered"
as having an iron arm and
he was duly installed as a pitcher. His
speed was the wonder of the fans, and
it scored many victories until he ruined
his arm by throwing at a dog. For
accuracy and speed I never saw a
pitcher who had better control than
Beamguard. As an illustration, on
one occasion we were playing a game
with Yorkville. Jim Bell, (now of
Washington, D. C.), had struck out a
number of times, and the manager of
the Yorkville team was roasting him
pretty severely for not hitting the ball.
Bell replied, "How the devil do you
expect me to hit it when I can't see
it?" When Jim came to the bat again,
Beamguard said: "Jim, hold your bat
over the base and I will hit it for you."
Bell did as directed and Beamguard
hitting the bat fairly, gave this particular
batter the only base hit he
ever got.
During the nineties there were many
pleasant games between Yorkville and
Clover, and they were played fairly
and honorablv. without any trickery
or "squeeze" plays.
Of the big pitchers of the old days
I shall mention Roddey of Rock Hill,
Ed McClain of Yorkvllle (now in Texas),
Rodger Martin, Beth-Shiloh, and
Will Beamguard of Clover. The fans
always looked to these to win games.
As for first baseman and catcher for
the county I think I am safe in saying
that "Big" Harry Neil, (now treasurer
of York county), easily led. For authority
on rules and all round good
paying, Collie Moore, (then of York[
ville, now of Clarksvllle, Texas), was
the star and was as fair to his opponents
as he was just to his home
team.

? Plans for a permanent government
on the canal zone will not be put
into effect until the formal opening of
the canal in January, 1915, Secretary
Garrison announced a few days ago.
In the meantime the zone government
will continue as heretofore, with such
modifications as changing conditions
may demand. Secretary Garrison has
conferred frequently during the past
week with Col. Goethals, chairman of
the Isthmian canal commission, and
he has asked the colonel to submit
from time to time recommendations
as to the organization of a permanent
government. It is practically certain
that the government will continue to
operate the Panama railroad after the
canal is completed. Secretary Garrison
said, as it would be necessary to
have a means for the transportation
of troops and supplies in the event the
canal should be out of commission at
any time.

The common testimony so far as
The Enquirer baa been able to gather
it, is that while the recent ?veek of
chilly weather brought cotton to a
standstill and killed some of it, especially
where it was too thick, no great
harm was done, and cotton generally
is now looking well. There is still a
lot of cotton to be chopped out, however.
There is lots of corn, and much
of it Is looking good.
In another column we are printing
a communication from Mr. M. I*
Smith, secretary and treasurer of the
Clover Manufacturing company, briefly
remniscent of baseball in the
old days. The short note accompanying
the contribution suggests that if
the article is "not worth printing," it
might be consigned to the waste basket,
etc. But that is only characteristic
of the modesty of the writer, who
has no idea of the very great interest
with which all the older baseball
cranks as many of the younger ones,
throughout this section, will read what
he has to say. While as a matter of
fact It has never crossed the mind of
the editor to toss this admirable article
in the waste basket, if he should
do so, it would be a long time before
his conscience would become reconciled
to the offense. But it occurs to us that
there Is one certain star of the old
time of which Mr. Smith falls to make
mention. We are not blaming him. In
the first place we doubt If Mr. Smith
ever fully realized the fame of the
star wo have in mind, and In the second
place, even if he did, he could not very
well tell the story. We refer to Mr.
M. L. Smith himself. He was the
champion catcher of his day, and any
one of the players he has mentioned
as well as hundreds of others would
testify on oath that in their opinion,
during a period of about ten years,
Mr. Smith could have gojtten employment
at big pay, as catcher for any
one of the big league clubs of the
country. Meek Smith was also a star
player, and the whole Clover team was
at one time the champion amateur
baseball aggregation of the Piedmont
The writer hereof very well remembers
the pitching of John T. Roddey,
and how the Rock Hill team used to
beat Yorkville in the old days, and he
also remembers the fine pitching of
Will Beamguard, and the pride that all
the baseball cranks in the county had
In the same. Personally the editor of
The Enquirer is not now a baseball
fan, if he ever was; but he is enough
of a newspaper man to know that Mr.
Smith has sent in some "mighty good
stuff," and hereby returns thanks for
his excellent article.
