Mr. Finn spoke of the ‘newspaper, the advertiser and the advertising agent.” He declared that advertising is the news about merchandising and that there was nothing cloger to the learts of the read- ing public than the “live news concern- ing buying opportunity.” “I bellove in the efficlency of news- paper advertising because I have seen fwhat it can do in such & varlety of lines, covering such a divergency of propositions that the possibility of luck or acoldent must be eltminated from constderation.” “It {s the paper that puhblishes the true news that pays the advertiser best, the speaker said. “Generally speaking, the best news- recent great drive against the Russians by forces in practically all of Galicia, shows al strategists have almost entirely abandoned Papers Which Print True News Are Best Advertising Mediums R paper ls the one which secures the best advertising,” Mr. Finn continued. “And the best advertising is what helps make it the best newspaper.

Tuesday morning Stuthelt visited the Joseph Sykes residencs, 202 Spencer street, where the crime occurred, fin company of Chiet of Detectives Maloney, Detective Frank Murphy and others. He was walked about ‘he house and taken to the basement, whers the crime was committed, Here he rolled a cigarette jand admired the furnace. “By # that's a new kind of furrace to me!" he exclaimed, after examining it carefully. He betrayed not the silghtest emotion, or gave any aign that he had ever been near the place. Mrs. 1da M. Dennis, 2017 Spencer street, who saw “the man in blue” the day of the murder, took a good look at Stut- beit and asserted he locked something like the man, but mot more so than did other suspects brought before her. Painter Gaynor, ‘'who elso saw ‘“the man in blue,” took one at Stut- heit and declared positively “that's not the man." Stuthelt was taken to the home of Mrs. Fritz Olson, 2610 Dewey avenue, the sister of Ada Swanson. Mrs. Olson could give the officers no information that would ald them. SBhe asserted she never saw him before, He will be held sev- eral days for further investigation as to his whereabouts during May.

Brewster of the law faculty of the University of Colorado, who failed to be reappointed to his posi- tion by the Board of Regents, today issued a statement declaring that he had been removed on account of his sympathy with the Colorado union coal miners in their recent strike.

Two battalions of militia and the Gov- ernor's Horse Guard troops, under the personal command of Adjutant General Nash, early today were patroling the country estate of Governor Slaton near here. The troopa had been called out after a crowd of several hundred men and boys had marched there late last night and made a demonstration of pro- test against the commutation of Leo M. Frank's death sentence to life imprison- ment. State and city officials inaisted that 't night's demonstration probably had ended the possibility of menace to the governor by people most bitterly op- posed to the commutation of Frank's | sentence. | A state of preparedness was maintained today, however, both by the police and | military authorities. There appeared no !ton's suburban home. | The Frank case still was discussed on |the streets, but the groups were those ordinarlly seen on the busier corners. |Today's calm apparently was welcoming |by a majority of Atlanta residents. Local newspapers gave very little space to the oase today. Twenty-Four Arrests Made. A summary - of the arrests made yes- terday in the city and last night in the A total of twenty-four persons taken into oustody. They were mostly young men, some without oocoupation, while some sald they were olerks. All wore tried of falling to “move on” when directed by the police to do so. 8o far as could be learned, no ar- rangement had been made for an organ- Ized protest against the governor's ac- tion. The Impromptu mass meeting at the oapitol yester.ay, when resolutions ‘were paesed condemning Governor Sla- ton, seemed to appease the wrath of those immediately concerned. The rush on Governor Slaton's home last night was the result of an impulsive sugges- tion on the part of street speakers that the crowd “pay the governor a call.” At three points along the route to the governor's home city and county police tried to halt the procession, but the main body reached the estate shortly be- fore midnight. There they found addi- tional police. The governor declared martial law within a zone of one-half mile of his home and ordered out several companies of militia. Orowd in Leaderiess, No effort was made by any one to enter the governor's grounds. Barbed wire entanglements had been stretohed tross the driveways and along the &rounds just within the enclosing walls and fences. The crowd appeared to be entirely lead- erless and was quick to switch from ID- parent anger to good humor. Missiles ‘were hurled at the sold) untfl some one started to sing “I Didn't Rafse My Boy to Be a Soldler.” The erowd finally was dispersed by the soldiers and left with parting shouts of ridicule at the miltiamen. Word recelved from the prison farm at Milledgeville today was that Frank was not yet in physical condition to take up aotive work. Martial Law Declared. The crowd was quickly dispersed by the soldiers, after the governor had de- clared the sone within half & mile of his {home under martial law. When first lordered to leave, some of the demon- {strators called to the soldiers to “shoot,” |accompanying their retort with a desul- tory bombardment of the troops with missiles. Two officers and a private were slightly hurt. No shots were fired, the soldiers gdvancing with fixed bayonets, No eivilians were injured. When the soldlers ™med up with fixed bayonets to disperse the crowd, stomes, bricks and bottles were thrown at them. A brick struck Lieutenant Arnold Parker in the stomach and rendered him uncon- sclous for a short time. A bottle thrown at Private W. W. Foopt, struck his gun and cut his hand. The commanding officer, Major Catron, was struck by a stone, as were several of the men, The governor proclalmed martial law at exactly 11 o'clock and by midnight the crowd had virtually been disbanded. There was no firing. A telephone message from Milledge- ville, where the state prison farm is lo- cated and where Leo M. Frank was {taken today after Governor Slaton had commuted his death sentence to life fm- prisonment, said that trouble was feared there and asked that the governor order out the Milledgeville company of militia.

The Russian positions before the city consisting of a comprehensive system of trenches and entanglements are well calculated to make the victory of the German allles costly.
