' Charge Found in Armory. Windsor, Ont., June 81. U. P.) Two men and one woman are believed to nave been responsible for an ex plosion of dynamite "which wrecked the pUnt of the Feabody Overall com pany in Walkervllle early today and to have placet a heavy charge of the same explosive Jn an attempt to de stroy the Armory here In which troops were quartered. Only the fact that the cap on the fuse failed to work properly prevented the explosion at the Armory and the annihilation' of 100 soldiers sleeping: there. - A man on guard at 5 a. ra. stumbled upon 26 sticks of dynamite, to which was attached a fuse, partly burned. The authorities at Windsor believe German spies are responsible for the attempt, and that they smuggled the . explosive across the border from De troit during the night, The watchman in the armory heard a slight explosion shortly, before ,6 o'clock, but was unable to 'locate the cause of it then. It is now believed it was the explosion of the dynamite cap on the fuse, and that it was in tended to Mt off the dynamite, but failed to work property. The police of Windsor hoped to catch the persons responsible before they could flee across the border, v August fYankv 28, a German-American, was arrested at Windsor later as a suspect, but he asserted that he could prove an alibi. His assertion has been partly verified. The Detroit police do not believo he is , guilty.

'" "If I had failed to commute Frank's sentence I would have been guilty of murder as I see it," said Governor Slaton In an 8000 word statement is sued today. "Of course I care for the approbation of the public, but I could not have that man's blood on my hands. "I can live in obscurity and plow and-hoe if necessary, but I could not afford not to act as I did in this case. - "I believe, too, that the people of Georgia and the nation will realize that it was my only' course." Governor Slaton - appeared today as If a load had been lifted from his mind and conscience. He declared the entire case hinged on whether Mary Phagan was killed in the .metal sroora and whether Frank helped to carry the body to the basement. Doubt Concerning Guilt. "I am confident." he said, "that time will Justify j the wisdom of my course. Solicitor Dorsey has studied the case constantly, but I believe he does not know the evidence any better than L "There is plenty of doubt concern ing Frank's guilt. That black scoun drel, Jim Conley, admits enough to cause misgivings. "All I wish now is for the people of Georgia to withhold judgment un til calm and careful consideration is given to my statement." With the gathering of hostile crowds who made demonstrations of disapproval against the v commutation of Frank's sentence, the chief of po lice took every precaution to prevent trouble. All "near-beer" saloons and locker clubs were ordered closed and the police reserves were called out. The death sentence imposed by the v. V U I .

Pending the announcement Governor Slaton had Frank secretly removed from the Atlanta Jail Sunday night. Locked, in a sleeping car, under heavy guard, he was sent to the state prison farm at Millidgeville. The removal of Frank was effected with great secrecy. Governor Slaton took only Sheriff Mangum of Atlanta and four of the latters deputies into his confidence. Just , before midnight Frank was slipped out of the Jail by a rear door, thus eluding the newspaper men on watch. , Once out of Jail Frank and his auards entered an ambulance and were driven to the terminal station. Frank had a handkerchief over his face and posed as a sick man.

' The whole world produces gold to talling approximately $466,000,000 in a. year, or only $166,000,000 more tban the sine that will be. produced in this country In 1916. .

Last Friday night as I was choosing some of my favorite Van Dycks, the salesman said to me: ; 1 am pleased to see you pick those with the green and yellow spots. Some men do not wish such cigars; they think the spots a defect." . ' j So I thought to myself it is my duty to tell my audience what I know. A man is none the weaker for a birth-mark. A cigar is even better when it has these spots. It generally burns more sweetly. ; Yellow spots come thus : Upon the growing tobacco plant the rain falls. After the shower, the warm Cuban sun swiftly dries the drops. On some leaves are left behind those yellow circles. It is a mere coincidence that these marks come; most easily to the leaves which bum the best. . Greenish spots are found on much of the lighter tobacco. ' They tell nothing save that the leaf will burn more pleas antly than most. ' And this is true of all cigars.
