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.

To Bang Wank Murder.
'" "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.

XTank Removed Secretly.
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 party
attracted little attention at the sta
tion, and at once entered the sleeper

HISTORY OF MURDER
CASE IN WHICH FRANK
FOUGHT FOR HIS LIFE
Atlanta, Ga., June 21. A chrono
logical history of the sensational Leo
Frank murder case whieh came to a
climax today with the commuting of
Frank's sentence to life imprisonment
follows:
April 26, 1913 Mary Phagan found
murdered in the basement of the Na-
which figures are available from the
United States geological survey, the
total value of the gold produced in the
United States and Alaska was 188,-
884.400. , ; - J; " 1 :.. . : , :
The, aggregate value of silver metal
produced in the United States in 1913,
according to the geological survey,
was $40,348,100,: or about one third of
the value of the sine which will be
taken from the mines of the Joplin
district this year. '
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. .
The figures tn the -above compar
isons are based upon government sta
tistics and uponj conditions in the zinc
market in June.! Indications are that
spot metal will be sold up to early in
1916 at about $500 a ton.
The huge profits that are being ac-
propertles In the Joplin district no
good mines hava been found on ; the
market. ,
- Another result of the Inflated prices
of metal has "been as advance of from
16 to 80 per cent In wages of miners.
The wage increases were made Indi
vidually by the operators, as the min
ers have, no organisation.

nA birth-mark makes the

s To this information you are welcome.
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.
So I prize particularly those Van Dyck
Cigars upon whichl,find here and there
the spots of whiClTl tell you.
