imprisonment.
Announcement of the governor's
decision was made after Frank had
been secretly taken from jail here
to the state prison farm at Milledge-
vllle, Ga.
Kemoval early today to the state
prison farm at Milledgevllle, of Leo
M. Frank, on the eve of a decision
by Gov. John M. Slaton on Frank’s
petition for commutation of his
death sentence, coupled with a state-
ment by Sheriff Mangunt of Fulton,
ropnty that the governor had com-
muted Frank’s sentence, stirred Ihe
city of Atlanta.
1-rank was hurried away secretly
by Sheriff Mangunt shortly before
midnight under a heavy guard. So
secretly was the departure effected
that news of It did not leak out un-
til some two hours later. The pris-
oner was put aboard a train for Ma-
con and on his arrival there was
transferred to an automobile and
rushed 30 miles to Milledgc*Mle.
Even the prison farm management,

't
the Allen (personal servant under
< je honor systjm, Is tne last person
to nave seor. Mrs Allen alive. He
had aacess to the warden's rooms.
‘Officials believe Mrs. Allen was
turned to death as she lay uncon-
scious on her bed. Her skull had
been fraotuerd by a blow1 which
physicians said had not caused her
death. Evidence already gatheied
indicated that the slayer had
sprinkled the bedding and Mrs. Al-
len’s night clothing with alcohol be-
fore touching a match to It. Pieces
of a jug which had contained the
liquid were found scattered near the
bad. The jug had -been taken from
a linen closet.
Warden Allen was in West Garten,
lnd., when the murder was commit-
ted. He w1as tc be joined by Mrs.

The sheriff’s statement thnt
Frank's sertence had been com-
muted was made at Macon Asked
If tt had .bean commuted, he re-
plied: ,
"It has.’*
Gov. Slaton stated Saturday he
would announce his decision today
or. tomorrow. He declared there
would be no respite and that he
either would commute the sentence
or decline to Interfere.
Frank was sentenced to be
hanged tomorrow for the alleged
-murder of Mary Phagan, a young
lady employed in the pencil factory
of which Frank w-as the manager.
Frank’s removal from the jail in
Atlanta was carefully planned and
•the officers were able to elude news-
paper men and others who might
have recognized their prisoner.
Leaving the jail by a rear door
shortly before midnight, they went
In an automobile to the terminal
station, where a deputy purchased
tickets for the party to Macon.
Frank was not handcuffed and he
did not wear the heavy spectacle* he
generally wore. A black slouched
hat was pulled down over his
face. ’rhe few persons who were
In the railway station at the time
failed to reoognnize hint and It was
more than an hour after midnight
'before the report was circulated that
he had been removed from the cell
he had occupied for many months.
At Griffin, Ga., the Pullman con-
ductor of the train on which Frank
and his guards rode, said he had
recognized Frank in his car. Efforts
to confirm this report here were
futile for some time afterward. The
telephone with the county jail here
hsd been cqt off and the jail offi-
cials refused to verify the report.
Gov. Slaton was at his country home
several miles from the city and the
telephone to his home also had
linen cut off.
When the train reached Macon
several persons at the station saw
the sheriff and his prisoner alight
from the Pullman and Frank was
positively Identified. Obtaining an
/ automobile, the party started from
/ Macon immediately for Milledgevllle
a distance of 31 miles, arriving at
j the state farm at 4:30 o’clock this
morning.
So secretly had been the officials
here as to their plans that not even
the superintendent of the prison
farm had been notified Frank would
be taken there today.
Mrs. Frank declared she knew
i nothing of any move to take her
husband to Milledgevllle and
Thank's attorneys said they had not
been notified of such a plan. Soften-
er Dorsey, who prosecuted Frank,
also said early today that, he had
pot been Informed of the plan to
remove the prisoner.

Washington. June 21.—With pre-
liminary report on an investigation
before him today, showing violation!!
of the oleomargarine law extending
over the entire thirteen years since
the enactment of the law, and re-
sulting in the loss of many millions
of dollars in revenue to the govern-
ment, Secretary McAdoo announced
that although fraudulent practices ot
this character probably have ‘been
‘checked, the Inquiry would be con-
tinued with all vigor. Treasury of-
ficials, it was said, are determined
“to bring every law-'breaker to jus-
tice.”
The Investigation was conducted
by Commissioner Osborn of the in-
ternal revenue bureau. It was
aweeping in character, its ramifica-
tions in many parts of the country.
The commissioner’s report revealed
how violators of the oleoargarine
law had defrauded the government
out of at least 27,000,000 due in
stamps and special taxes. Among
the more important results of the In-
vestigation.
Recovery of $8-r>l,00<) in unpaid
taxes, with prospects of further very
large collections.
Convictions since Jan. i of forty-
two violators of the law, twenty
nine of who were given prison sen-
tences. j>
Assessment of fines aggregating
$148,000, In addition to the recov-
eries actually made.
The report shows, according to a
statement Issued by Secretary Mc-
Adoo that since 1902 more than
200,000,000 pounds of colored oleo-
margarine.
"It is believed,” says the state-
ment, “that a great proportion of
this product reached conrumers as
butter. This arqoun represents
more than twice the average yearly
consumption of both colored and un-
colored oleomargarine by the people
of the United States since the pres-
ent law went Into effect."

SLEEP NOT ESSENTIAL
TO LIFE OR HEALTH
Associated Press Dispatch
San Francisco, June 21.—Sleep is
not essential to life or oven to health
as generally believed, according to
Mr. Wilse Robinson, a Kansas City
neurologist, who was among a num-
ber of delegates to the American
Medical Association convention here,
who occupied pulpits yesterday In
San Francisco churches.

TOM RANDOLPH RKTIRE8
FROM BANK PRESIDENCY.
Considerable itj.eres^ has been
shown recently in Ft. Louis over the
selection of John G. Lonsdale of New
York, for the" presidency of the Na-
tional Bank of Commerce in St.
Louis, to succeed Tom Randolph.
Mr. Randolph was selected chair-
man of the board of dired ors to suc-
ceed E. C. Simmons of St. Louis.
The reason for the change of offi-
cers is due to the fact that Mr. Ran-
dolph's physicians have advised him
that unless he were relieved of some
of the responsibilities he would nev-
er be able to entirely regain his
health. Accordingly, he requested
that he be made chairman of the
board, which while it requires his
constant presence at the institution,
relieves him of a great deal of the
responsibiTities which formerly were
his.
The change of offloers was looked
upon with a great deal of interest
by St. Louts financial interests, and
the newspaper? of that city showed
some keen rivalry In handling Uio.
story of the change.
It is understood that Mr. Ran-
dolph will receive a handsome salary
as chairman of the board.

RUMOR OF NEW
PEACE MOVE
PROMINENT MEXICANS SAID TO
BR INTERESTED IN THE
f new PLAN. I
ANGELES IS AT HEAD
Villa’s Former Military Chief Re-
ported m Moving Spirit—Fight-
ing Reported Near American
Settlement on Yaqui River.
Associated Press Dispatch
Washington, June 21.—Rumors
of a new peace move by prominent
Mexicans with Gen. Felipe Angeles,
formerly Villa’s military chief, as
its moving spirit, held the attention
of officials here today.
Various reports from the border
said Angeles had crossed into tfee
United States, tut none agreed as
to his mission.
Border agents of the government
reported he wee on his way to Bee-
ton to visit hie family. Unofficial
advices from El Paso said Angelo?
was enroute to Washington to reprti-
seut the military and that Mig&ll
Dias Lombardo, foreign minister,
would reach the border in ' a fe#
days on hie way to Washington to
represent the conventionalist civil
government in a new peace plan..
The reasons for Angeles’ mission
brought considerable speculation In
official and diplomatic quarters to-
day. One version was that he was
to confer with Mexicans who have
taken no part in the revolutionaiT
activity, but who recently have been
planning to form a coalition with
some ot the forces now in the field
to enable thtjjun to get the “active
moral support” which President
Wilson; recently announced the
United States would soon give some
group unless the warring factions
coulu agree among themselves. An-
other explanation was that Angelin
had left Villa beeanse of personal
differences with him. *
Although officials are watching
closely changes In Mexican politics,
they are taking no hand in the de-
velopments. They are hopeful,
however, that out of the develop-
ments peace ultimately may come.
Officials were greatly relieved to-
day over official advices which said
that the armored cruiser Colorado,
Admiral Howard’s flagship, had ar-
rived at Guaymas with marines and
that all was quiet In the Yaqni Val-
ley. where Americans had been
threatened by the Indians. The ma-
rines are to be used to protect
Americans, if necessity arises, hut
Admiral Howard has orders to wait
further instructions.
