Prominent Bostonians express disappointment after the Georgia Prison Commission declines to recommend to Governor Slaton a commutation for Leo M. Frank from death to life imprisonment for the Mary Phagan murder. The decision follows weeks of controversy and public interest in the case.
The report notes petitions from Legislatures and Georgia lawyers and jurists, a Chicago group representing $200000 women, and a clemency plea from Massachusetts delegates led by former Governor Foss.
A death sentence is scheduled for June 22 unless Governor Grant grants clemency or commutes the sentence in the Georgia case.
The note lists sun rise and set times for tonight, lunar phases from June to July, and full moon dates for the year. It also marks war day counts, star positions, and auto lamp timings.

Six Boston youths aboard the Leyland line steamer Colonian claim the ship flew the American flag while in a war zone and that British officers in England persuaded some Americans to enlist, though no coercion occurred.
Captain J. McDonald used a neutral or no flag on the Colonian to disguise her, the first known U S flag use for this purpose since the Lusitania incident. 130 men aboard included 90 Americans, among them seven youths who planned to strip the flag but failed as crew guarded the taftrail. McDonald acknowledged the flag's use.

Washington June 9. William Jennings Bryan declares his resignation to pursue private citizenship and support peaceful settlement with Germany. He notes two points of contention: international commission investigations and warning travelers against belligerent ships. He argues treaties with 30 nations bar war pending inquiry and proposes offering mediation even to Germany to ease tensions.
Washington observers react to William Bryan's resignation and his note aiming to appeal to the public. Administration officials warn any campaign would complicate delicate talks with Germany while praising his sincerity and moral courage.
Public reaction heats up as a promised statement and new inside facts surrounding the resignation draw sharp criticism toward the former secretary.
The Koelnische Zeitung in Cologne discusses Mr. Bryan’s resignation, linking it to possible differences with President Wilson over foreign policy and Lusitania diplomacy. It notes Bryan’s domestic political role and argues German-Americans favor U S neutrality and a ban on munitions exports.
The United States signals a firm but cordial stance on rights of citizens, leaving room for further discussion. Officials emphasize a commitment to constitutional protections while inviting dialogue on ongoing policy considerations.
Washington today sent Germany a note demanding reparations for American lives lost in the Lusitania sinking and urging adherence to international law.

It will be published in Friday morning papers.
