LOUISVILLE JUDGE
HONORED IN ATLANTA
Court Attaches Give Louis
ville Judge Dog, Pipe and
Tobacco in Presence of His
Wife.
Judge R. N. Hardeman, of Louis
ville, presided last week in Atlanta
where he is very popular as the fol
lowing story attests. The Atlanta
Georgian for Sunday carried this
story accompanied by a picture of
Judge and Mrs. Hardeman taken in
the court room. We regret that we
are unable to reproduce the pic
ture :
“Number Judge R. X. Hardeman,
of Louisville, Ga., among the con
tented mortals. Mark him down
as one of the few happy beings to
behold at one uptilting of fortune’s
cornucopia all their ingredients for
happiness drip forth and mingle in
the joyous whole,
‘“A wife, a clog and a pipe,’ said
Judge Hardeman a week ago, dis
cussing his philosophy with the
Sunday American, ‘constitutes the
ideal triangle for a married man.
These three tilings, spelling home,
spell also serenity and quiet blessed
ness. 1 '
“That, as remarked, was a week
ago- Friday there was a slight lull
in the Fulton superior court, where
Judge Hardeman is presiding in a
special criminal division. The judge
was seen to smile pleasantly and
spectators followed his glance to be
hold Mrs. Hardeman standing in the
door of the judge’s chambers.
“There was a little stir of men,
and as Mrs. Hardeman, who was in
the secret, drew near, the judge’s
bench was surrounded by a crowd. I
in the midst of them was a plaintive
hound, held at the end of a string
by Lawyer Murphy M. Holloway,
who also bore a pipe and a box of
tobacco.
“‘Judge, your honor, may it please
the court,’ said Mr. Holloway, ‘in
the presence of your gracious wife,
ti e first and infinitely the highest
consideration in your professed trin
ity of contentment, we, the attaches
and friends of this court, want to
complete your ideal triangle by pre
senting you this ctog and this pipe.
Maj the years rest lightly on your
head.’
“Mr. Holloway said lie could rec
ommend the pipe and the tobacco
highly, but he wasn’t so sure about
tlu* dog, which lie characterized as
a cat dog, masquerading under the
name of a police dog, and trying to
obtain a home under false pre
tenses. In the dog’s defense, how
ever, Mr. Holloway spoke at length,
saying that it was mange-proof, hav
ing had the affliction lour times,
G*ind that it had a clean bill of health
since it ‘couldn’t catch anything.’
, “Battler yawned indifferently
•when posed on the bench with Judge
and Mrs. Hardeman for the picture,
unconscious of the honor being !
thrust upon him ”

THE NEWS AND FARMER
OFFICERS OF RED CROSS
ELECTED
The local chapter of the American
Red Cross has recently been re
organized, officers elected, and work
for the coming year mapped out.
The people of Louisville and Jef
ferson county, who have done such
splendid work in the organization
in past years, are quite familar with
the war activities of the Red Cross.
Interest in the peace day program
of the organization that is known
all over the world as The Great
Mother is growing daily.
In times of great catastrophes the
workers of the Red Cross are on the
scene of the tragedy rendering first
aid before the great mass of people
have begun to wonder if something
couldn’t he done about it. The Red
Cross is America’s national board
of charity, and organization that
gives aid whenever needed, despite
race, color or creed. Any little town
that needs help may ask freely of
this organization and he assured of
a liberal response. The farmers of
Glade county, Florida, who livs in
the flooded section are even now re
ceiving help, and the little town of
Newborn, in our sister state of
North Carolina, recently swept by
fire, is saved from the direst need
by the Red Cross.
Louisville is to be congratulated
on further allying herself with such
noble work, and further congralulat
ed upon the splendid officials
elected for 1923, who are as fol
lows :
Dr. S. (!. Ketcliin, chairman; Mrs.
W. F. Little, vice-chairman; Mr.
R S. Farmer, treasurer; Miss Helen,
Phillips, secretary. Mrs. W. S. Mur
phy, Mrs. M. C. Barwis, Mrs. Paul
Presslv, school committee
A committee on associated chari
ties will be named later.

Capital Ships Until Treaty
Is Definitely Ratified.
JAPAN NOW SCRAPING
SOME OLDER SHIPS
England Has De s t royed
Three Capital Ships, Sold

Washington. Dec. 19—Responding
to a house resolution ; ccretary Don
by trausmiteed to congress today the
information in the hands of tlu*
navy department on the status of
warships scrapped under the terms
of the Washington ai?s conference
naval treaty, or otherwise disposed
of by the signatories since the ad
journment of the conference.
The report showed that neither
the United States nor Japan plan
lo complete the scrapping of any ex
isting capital ships, at least pending
promulgation of the treaty, alhtough
both nations have stopped work on
large building programs of capital
ships. Great Britain on the other
hand ,has shown to have disposed
of or to be disposing of a very con- ;
siderahle number of older capital
ships.
The United States, according to
the report, in addition to suspending
work on vessels under construction
under the treaty, has decommission
ed all completed ships affected ex
cept the battleship Connecticut which
soon will he placed out of commis
sion, and has sold the Maine and
the Missouri which are actually be
ing broken up.
Great Britain, Mr. Denby said, had
at the time his information was!
! gathered, but which was not indi-j
; cated, broken up three capital ships; 1
sold to he broken up, seven; sold
but not dismantled, one; completed
mutilations of two and was engaged
in mutilating six others. The Aus
tralian government, lie added, had
decided to scrap the battle cruiser.

Hulls to Be Retained. # j
Through her ministry of marine, \
the secretary continued, Japan “had
stated that while w'ork preliminary
to scrapping will he done, the hulls
will not be broken up or sunk until
the treaty has been ratified by all
the powers.” Certain preliminary
work involving removal of guns tur
rets, armor and engines was being
done, he said, on seven capital ships;
three others had been placed in the
fourth reserve and work had been
suspended on six. Work on two
others was proceeding with the evi
dent intention of completing them
asair craft-carriers, permitted under
the naval treaty.
Neither France nor Italy was re
quired to scrap any concmpleted ves
sels by the treaty. One of the ships
France was permitted to rtain, Mr.
Denby said, had been wrecked and
that nation proposed to complete, as
an aircraft-carrier, one of the five
battleships it had under construction
at the beginning of the war.
Italy, Mr. Denby said, had disposed
of one bttleship under construction
and had annulled contracts for three
others. In addition, the Lconardi da
Vinci, a battleship permitted under
the treaty, had been wrecked and
would not he reconstructed.
Discussing ships not affected by
the treaty Mr. Denby said th,e Uni
ted States had disposed of 25 sub
marines, one destroyer, two monitors
and one dynamite gun vessel. Great
Britain, he added, had lost three
auxiliaries by sinking and had dis
posed of 38 lighter vessels, including
24 submarine. One Japanese battle
ship, he continued, and 33 smaller
vessels had been removed from the
effective list, and one light cruiser
had been wrecked. France had dis
posed of one battleship, four cruis
ers and nine torpedo boats.

ATTUNE TO NATURE
By MARVIN RAST
(From Christian Endeavor)
(From Christian Endeavor.)
“The world did not until recently
discover that the atmosphere is lit
erally full of messages which ma\
be heard by means of a simply tun
ing instrument. This is a marvel
ous discovery and invention; but af
ter listening to an aerial concert
received perfectly from a broadcast
ing station a thousand miles away,
we are prone to go on about our
business and forget that there is
anything marvelous there. The
truth is, we can get used to any
thing, and that very soon.
There are people living in a stone’s
throw of Niagara Falls who have
never seen them; and others who
sec them every day, never sec their
beauty and grandeur, hut merely lie
hold a quantity of water pouring
over a ledge.
It is now autumn, that balmy sro
son in which Nature is arrayed in
her richest colors, leaves of red, yel
low, green and brown sparkle and
dance in the sunshine —occasionally
freeing themselves from the trees,
and floating down to carpet eartli
most gorgeously. The lordly sun
: rises, a veritable hall of red fire.
He sets in life manner, leaving a
radiant afterglow of pink and pur
I pie along the western horizon. Heav
en and earth are teeming with glory
and beauty:
But what of the human heart*
Does this glory and beauty and har
mony abound there? Not unless
the heart is attuned to nature:
..
“Full many a gein of purest ray
serene,
The dark unfathom'd caves of
ocean hear;
Full many a flower is horn to
blush unseen,
And waste its sweetness on the
desert air.”
What a costly waste I We can not
afford to go on our way unmindful
of the gems and flowers that blush
and bloom at our very doors. Rather,
let us enrich our lives by taking
home to our hearts their purity and
fragrance, along with all else that
Nature has to offer.
DEATH OF MR. E. A. HARRELL.
We wish to give our many thanks
to everyone that was so kind and
faithful to us during our father's
illness and death. We pray God to
bless Dr. Lewis for the kind at
tention he gave toward our precious
father. He did all that lay within
his power to save him, but it was
God’s will to take him, so God’s
work has to he done. He was 70
years of age in March. He has suf
fered from rheumatism for many
years. He was faithful and honest
to every one. He was loving to
his family. We feel lu* is at rest
for he prayed so honest from day
to day for forgiveness of everything
We feel his prayers were answered
and he is at rest. He leaves a wife
and five daughters and two sons,
one brother and sister to mourn his
loss. He has gone, hut not forgot
ten. Always shall his memory last.
His vacant chair sets all alone and
our precious father is waiting and
wishing for us to meet him in that
beautiful home.
(Written by Mrs. E. A. Harrell
and children.)
WAGES NEVER REACH PRE-WAR
LEVELS
Washington, Dec. 19. —Wages will
never return to the levels in effect
before the war, Julius IL Barnes,
president of the chamber of com
merce of the United Stales, assert
ed in an address today before the
Washington City Club. The advance
since 1913, he said, “is not war
time inflation hut a real increase
in individual earning power” and he
declared that “an economic system
which can give us more for every
one—more automobiles, more gen
eral education, more modern plumb
ing, more gramophones and bigger
real wages—must he preserved.”
GOOD LIQUOR SITUATION
Washington, Dec. 19.—Reports of
illicit liquor traffic made to Presi
dent Harding and other government
officials by the executives of 14
states during their visit to Wash
ingot n, indicated a “surprisingly
good” situation, Attorney General
Daugherty declared today. In every
section where co-operation exists
between tlie federal and state au
thorities he said, a decided improve
ment has resulted and “booze and
bootleggers are growing scarcer.”
There still remain in certain cen
ters of large population, the attor
ney general said, aggravated situa
tions with numerous violations, but
he predicted a certain clearing up of
these spots.

detect the change. The car was al
most new; damage done it about #4O.
It cost $l6O to recover it, but Mr.
Farmer says he is quite well satis
fied wit hthe job. He and Sheriff
Thomas went to Birmingham on the

DAUGHERTY HEARING
CONTINUES WITHOUT
INITIATOR. KELLER
Report of Committee To
House Not To Be Made Un
til After Holidays; Wood
ruff Will Testify Before Ga
thering Today.
JOHNSON CHARGES ON
WAR FRAUD CASES ONLY
Woodruff States That Since
He Made Charges Against
the Attorney General, the
Cause of Charges Had Been
Changed.
Washington, Dec. 19. Proceedings
before the house judiciary commit
tee in connection with the impeach
ment charges brought against Attor
ney General Daugherty by Repre
sentative Keller, republican, Minne
sota, appeared today to lie nearing
an end. In fact, it was indicat
ed that the scope of future hearings
would depend to a large measure on
the nature of information to be laid
before the committee by Represen
tative Woodruff, republican, Michi
gan, after his examination of docu
ments at the department of justice.
After a brief public session today,
at which no additional evidence was
received the committee decided, in
executive meeting, to hear Mr.
Woodruff tomorrow. There was
a tacit understanding, however, that
report to the house would be with
held until after the Christmas holi-
days.
Mr. Keller having withdrawn from
the case the committee in proceed
ing with the hearing on its own
initiative, had before it. today Mr-
Woodruff and Representative John
son, republican, South Dakota. Both ;
emphasized that they had no part
in the drafting of the Keller charg-1
is and that they were appearing
solely in response to an invitation
from Chairman Volstead.
“Dragged” In
Declaring he had been “dragged”
into the hearing, Representative
lohnson said the charges he had
made in the house relating to al
leged war funds, had been directed
solely at the war department. If
the committee wanted to go into
these charges he was prepared to
give the names of witnesses to sup
port them, he continued, adding that
there* were officers in the depart
ment who “should he court inartia.-
ed instead of promoted.”
As to the department of justice
action in regard to war traud cases,
Mr. Johnson said that in bis judg
ment Attorney General Daugherty
had proceeded with reasonable
promptness in bringing suits con
sidering that he had had to reor
ganize the department after he came
lo the alleged frauds examined be
fore any move could be made.
Mr. Woodruff also told the com
mittee that since he made his charg
es in the house last April of failure
oy Mr. Daugherty to prosecute war
fraud cases, suits had been brought
•ii six of the eight or nine instances
,ie had cited and that his had chang
ed the situation materially. He
added thut it was not his purpose
to embarrass the attorney general
in the conduct of the court proceed
ings and that his opinion was that
.hese cases should not be inquired
nto at this time.
Asking that he and his counsel,
1 1. L. Scaife, a former attorney em
oyed in the justice department, he
permitted to examine the documents
in the “Wright-Martin case,” Mr.
Woodruff said tha whether he could
present charges that would form the
oasis for impeachment proceedings
within hte scope of the Keller spe
cifications would depend on what
those documents disclosed. Assist
ant Attorney General Seymour im
mediately announced that the docu
ments would be made available to
Mr. Woodruff and his attorney.

JUDGE HARDEMAN
HEADS LIST TO PAY
DEFEN MONEY
xH

raised by the judge who su-v *< 4 *d
him. Harry Kramer, 19, of Ne%vN.
will he speeding towards GotoN^- 1
town tomorrow afternoon.
Young Kramer as arraigned in
court here yesterday charged with
stealing an automobile. He confessed
his guilt to the court and was sen
tenced to serve one year. 'The owner
of the automobile asked the court
to suspend the sentence.
The youngster said he is an actor.
Tlu* troup with w hich he was travel
ing “went broke” in Atlanta a few
weeks ago. Not only did Kramer
find himself out of work hut out
of money. In this plight he received
a message from home which told
of the approaching arrival of
another baby, bis second. The primal
instinct of fatherhood overcame
Kramer's fear for made-made laws.
He stole an automobile, he says, and
started for home. He was arrested
in Virginia and brought back here
for trial.
Frankly confessing the crime he
told the whole story to Judge It. N.
Hardeman. The sentence was passed
and a respite asked for. The court
was quick to yield and headed a
subscription list to raise the money
to send Kramer home where he is
needed.
Indications are today he will leave
Atlanta tomorrow with more than
transportation money.
