Today the supreme court of the United States directed that four cases, known as the Jones National bank, the Bank of Staplehurst, the Utica bank and Thomas Bailey against Charles E. Yates, David E. Thompson and others, be re- stored to the docket of the supreme court for reargument, “Gogh! argued again?” sald a court attendant, when told that the supreme court had de- creed that the cases above mentioned would once more take their place on an October decket. “Why, I had just got married when those cases were (irst argued before the supreme court. It must have been nearly elght or ten years ago. Gosh! Are they going to argue them all over again? Well, one thing 1've got to say for the court It's always for letting the law- yers have a show."

Stut- heit attracted attention at Sargent, Neb, by strange utterances, but when taken he insisted he had not been in Omaha for two years The officers have not yet had any of the persons living in the vicinity of the Sykes home where the murder apcurred try to identify him. He talks rather irrationally at times and the police are not sanguine that he had anything to do with the case. It has been their policy to run down every clue, however, and when word came from Farmer A. E Newcomb at Sargent that a stranger there had been talking about the case, they at once went after him. It took nearly a week's search to find the man. Stutheit has relatives at Loup City. He told them not long ago that he was going to the Kansas wheat fields and it was after this statement that he wandered about Custer and Howard counties.

Frank was tenced to hanged here tomorrow for the murder of Mary Phagan {n April, 1913, Frank was secretly removed from the county jall here shortly after midnight last night and taken under heavy guard to the state prison farm at Milledgeville, upon orders of Gov- ernor Slaton. When early reports that Frank's sen- tence had been commuted began to cireu late, crowds began to gather on the prin- | clpal downtown street cornere. The arrest of a man who attempted to dismount a policeman by grabbing the horse's reins, stirred on the crowd to excitement and it followed the officers to the city hall, a block away. Hpeakers started to ha- rangue the crowd from the city hall steps, but were stopped by an extra force of police. It was stated that a delega tlon was coming here from Marfetta, the former home of Mary Phagan Statement by Governor. Governor Slaton still was at hix coun- try home when he announced his deciaion In making the announcement the gov- ernor dictated the following brief state- ment: “All that T ask is that the people of Georgia read my statement of the reasons why I commuted Leo M.

The statement says that the town of Rawa Ruska, thirty-two miles northwest of Lem berg, had been captured from the Russians. LONDON, June 21.--The an- nouncement that Emperor Willlam | has assumed supreme command of the operations in Galicia is inter preted here as an indication of com plete German confidence in the final vietory on the assault of Lemberg, regarded as so near at hand that the the last two months have battered their way across the province wish the emperor to participate personally in the ex- pected triumph.

The Austro-German advance s still progressing through the Grodek lines west of Lemberg. The fallure of the Russians to hold these positions has been & keen disappointment to the British, who hoped that this strong and selected position might furnish another example of the resiliency of Emperor Nicholay forces, which has been one of the marked features of the war in the east. Never- theless it is questioned here that any- thing so vital as the flight of the Rus- 'Il.n army as indicated by Vienna reports or & perilous break in the Russian front has occurred.
