NOT UNNEUTRAL ACT.
lustro-Hnngarlan Note Answered
by Uncle Sam.
Washington, August 15: ? The
State department tonight made pubic
the reply of the United States
rejecting views set forth by the
\u3tro-Hungarian Government in a
recent note contending that exportation
of war munitions from Amerca
to Austra's enemies was conlucted
on such a scale as to be "not
n consonance with the definition of
leutrality."
Though friendly, the note flatly
lenies the Austro-Hungarian contention,
and recalls that that country
and Germany furnished munitions
to Great Britain during the
Boer war, when England's enemies
:ould not import such supplies. In
this connection the note suggests
that had Austria and Germany refused
to sell arms to Great Britain
it that time "on the ground that to
io so would violate the spirit of
strict neutrality," the Imperial and
Royal Government might with
greater consistency and greater
m,>'- " ' a Uo nnnfonfinn
LUICC UI^C 11/3 kvuwti?>v>?
The note insists that the United
States is pursuing a strictly neutral
:ourse and adhering to a principle
)n which it would depend for mulitions
in the markets of the world
f it should be attacked by a foreign
Power.
PLACES BLAME ON NOAH,
iVbo, It Is Claimed, First Sinned
by Eating Cassia Tree.
Philadelphia, August 12:?Adam
and Eve did not bring about the fall
)f man,but it was Noah,according to
\ translation of a tablet now in the
University of Pennsylvania museum,
rhis announcement was made today
Dy a representative of the museum.
According to the Sumerian theology
round on the tablet, which is said to
lave been written before the days
)f Abraham and which was traasated
by Dr Steven L&ngdon, professor
of Assyriology in Oxford uni
/ersity, England, Noah was ordered
lot to eat of the Cassia tree in the
harden of Paradise and when he
lisobeyed the curse fell on him.
The curse was that he should have
11 health and an early death instead
>f living to be 50,000 years old like
lis ancestors.
1 A J >_ ?
According 10 toaay s nuuuuuw
nent Dr Langdon asserts this tablet
s at least 1,000 years older than the
jfenesis account and, so far as is
mown, is the oldest record of the sort
n existence. The tablet was writ;en
more than 4,000 years ago.
Babylonian and Sumerain accounts
place the flood at something like
i,500 B C, and the lapse of time between
the creation and the flood is
llled by ten kings who reigned altogether
432,000 years, an average of
13,200 years each. The reason that
ater kings reigned comparatively
jhort periods, the tablet says, is
diat Noah sinned in eating of the
Cassia tree.

MOB LYNCHES FRANK. j
Taken from Prison at Mllledgevllle
and Hung to Tree.
Milledgeville, Ga, August 16:?A
mob variously estimated at between
i 25 and 65 in number overpowered
i Warden Smith and guards at the
, State prison farm near here at 11
o'clock tonight and quickly got Leo 1
M Frank and rushed him away in an ii
automobile. j ii
;j First reports that it might be a
'; friends of Frank were dispelled!
when a prisoner said he had heard a b
member of the mob say Frank's body ' p
would be placed tomorrow upon the d
grave of Mary Ph&gan at Marietta, a
Frank was serving a life sentence b

; having been removed from the Geor- 1
gia prison farm one hundred miles
away late last night by a band of
i about twenty-five men. Thu3 ended 1
i the career of the man who for two
years had maintained his innocence 1
i of the murder of Mary Phagan.
? I
Frank H Earle, aged 74, said to
have been the only survivor of Gen 2
Custer's command when the 7th
i cavalry was massacred by Indians at 2
the battle of the Little Big Horn,
died at Arkansas City, Ark, Friday.
i The mob was orderly but worked P
with very quick precision. Eight P
i automobiles took the men to within; $
a short distance of the prison. They ii
i first cut all wires from Milledgeville. n
i Five men went to the house of J $
' T Smith, warden, covered him with y
pistols and stood guard over him. p
Other men went to the house of J a
M Burke, superintendent of the pris- b
on, and held him under cover of e
their guns. T
Practically every other member ii
> of the mob then rushed to the stockade
gate nearest the dormitory where 1(
Frank was being housed. Only yesterday
did the physicians discharge
him from the hospital where he had
been since being murderously as- a
saulted in the dormitory. C
As on the night Frank wa3 attack- C
ed, only two guards were on duty. E
The mob quickly overpowered Chief p
Night Guard Hester and the other K
man on duty, proceeded to the dorm- **
itory and within a few minutes seized K
Frank and rushed him back to the l
automobiles. L
Those who had been holding Smith L
and Burke left as soon as Frank was |j
brought out and joined their fellows, y
The automobiles, reported to num- M
ber eight, then were started in the *j
direction of Eatonton. Nothing p
more had been heard of them hours p
after they left. S
Only one member of that part of T
the mob that went to the dormitory
talked. He gave the commands to
the guards which were backed up
by the arms of the other members
of the mob. ci

ny year since 1911. Most of the toacco
marketed so far, however, has
een of the lower grades, lugs and
rimings,and thesalesofthe3,378,716
ounds marketed has brought only
145,499.23 to the growers, whereas
i July, 1914, the 3,862,346 pounds
larketed brought to the growers
387,762.31. In other words, last

ound in July was 10.4 cents,wheres
the average price this year has
een only 4.31 cents?the lowest avrage
price paid in July since 1909.
'here are now 57 warehouses open
