Chicago, Ill., July 28.—Gov. Len O.
Small, Indicted on charge* of embez
zlement of state funds while he was
state treasurer, left last night sup
posedly for his home at .Kankakee af
ter a day of .-’.onference* with attor
neys here. Reports from Kankakee
after the last train from Chicago
were that the Governor had not ar
rived and it is believed he has
turned to Springfield.
Following the governor’s departure
n's chief counsel, Albert Frink, an
nounced that while several conferences
had been held, no dec ? on had been
eached as to the nex: move by the
ale executive.
I Refusal of the Sangamon county au
thorities to come to Chicago and ar
rest the governor, upset the plans laid
Tuesday night for a hearing on habeas
corpus proceedings before iv Cook
county court.

HcJriry : Medtfer last night.
Ther» is no desire to embanass or
humiliate him,” Sheriff Mesicr said,
“and we will not go to Cook county
to serve the warrant.”
‘‘He can come here and arrange his
bonds if he has decided to abandon
his idea of protesting against arrest.”
Friends of Gov. Small said they be
lieved he had not given up his inten
tion to ‘‘peacefully resist arrest,” add
ing that he would probabjy exhaust
all privileges he could obtain from the
courts before making'his surrender.

LYNCHER NOT GUILTY
Lynchburg, Va., July 28.—James A.
Price, charged with being a member
of the mob which attacked the coun
ty jail last March in an attempt to
lynch Jim Coleman, a murder suspect,
was found not guilty yesterday after
noon by a Jury In the Circuit Court
of Halifax county. On ‘motion
| Commonwealth’s Attorney James
j Easley the Indictments against ten
j other alleged mob members were
i then dismissed by Judge W. K. Barks
j dale.
John S. Draper, the alleged leader
of the mob and the first to be tried,
was convicted last April, the jury fix
ing his punishment at one year In-jail
and a fine of $500. He has appealed
the case and is now out on bail.
The attack on the jail fpllowed the
murder, March 19, of William Kick
mon, a white man whose mutilated
body was found in a public road sev
en miles east of Halifax founty court
house.
Jim Coleman, *hegro, was the first
suspect arrested arid on the following
day a mob formed and demanded the
jail keys of Sheriff L. W. Rice. The
demand was refused. The jail was then
attacked with sledge hammers and
j crow bars and when this assault fail
ed about 200 shots were fired through
the windows Into the cells. The pris
oners were not injured. Coleman af
terwards turned state’s evidence and
his testimony, although circumstantial
led to -the conviction of George Dick
erson, negro, as the murderer. Dick
erson’s punishment was fixed at ten
years in the penitentiary, the most
that could be given on circumstantial
evidence.

ed in the hands of a receiver today
by an order of Judge R. C. Bell, of the
Albany circuit, who appointed H.
Peacock of Albany, receiver, placed
him under a $5,000 bond and ordered
the marshalling of the company’s as
sets and their sale to be applied on
the defcts. ®
Appointment of the receiver was oc
casioned by a petition brought by J, E.
Robison of Thomasviile, executor of
the will of the late J. W. Sparks,
brought against J. It. Sparks, Henry
Sparks, E. K. Sparks, Ruth S. Robison
and Lois S. Chandler and the Davis-

further alleged that the business
owed $27,000, of which $17,000 worth

its assets are not sufficient to pay
more than half this amount; that the

with the prayer that all creditors be
compelled to intervene and take equal
settlements.

- * ?.F-; v , , J- M. EDWAE^i Prop.’
This offer was made public by E.
A. Quarles, assistant to the president
ot the line, who said the company had
decided to avail Itself of an option
clause in its charter, and that the
Shipping Board at Washington had
been asked by. telegraph to set a
price.
It also was admitted that reports
current in shipping circles for several
days to the effect that th^ company
was negotiating with certain large fi
nancial Interests relative to future de
velopment of the line were true. Mr.
Quarles cjeclined to make public the
identity of these interests or to say
whether they were American or for
eign. The company now has agency
agreements for the operation of its
ships In virtually all foreign ports.
The Shipping Board, through its at
torneys yesterday, applied for a change
in venue from state to federul courts
of the injunction proceeding by which
the steamship liue regained control of
its vessels. Arguments on the mo
tion will be heard by State Supreme
Court Justice Martin today.
Washington, D. C. July 2&.—Hopes ’
of administration leaders that the tax;
revision bill can be put through tin-!
House in time for a recess of Congress
by mid-August apparently found littto j
reflection in the House ways anu j
means committee, which plugged away j
at public hearings on the measure with f
two days more alloted to witnesses, j
Chairman Fordney estimated thatj
two weeks would be required for the!
drafting of the bill after treasury and ,
internal revenue bureau experts havt,;
pesented their final recommendations i
at executive sessions planned for two !
days of next week. Under this pro-'
gram the measure would reach the!
House about the middle of ne*t f
month. |
Some leaders hope to put the bill
through in a few days after its formal i
presentation, but plans for handling j
t0 lit In the House have not been fully I
shaped up. The general procedure is
expressed by committee members to
be similar to that adopted with rela
tion to the Fordney tariff bill—a Re
publican caucus to consider the meas
ure and the adoption by the House of
a rule to limit the debate and shut off
general amendments.
Few new sugestions on tax revision !
have been offered by witnesses ap* j
pearing duing the twb days of pub-;
lie hearings, leaving the administn*-j
tion plans as a principal recommendn- J
tion before the committee.
The sMgestion put foward than
first glass postage rates be increased
3 cents got into the committee;
hearing yesterday without indication,;
however, that as yet it had been givt-u }
serious consideration by the members.
Postmaster General Hayqp estimates
that restoration of the 3 cent lettei
postage would yield between $75,000,-
000 and $80,000,000 annually and he j
said that department studies were be
ing . instituted of which a report
and recommendation would be given
the committee.
Most testimony before the commit
tee yesterday had to do with the shift
ing of the tax burden, although organ
ized labor through its spokesma..
joined with farmer's organizations in
urging retention of the excess profits
tax.
‘‘If a man write a better book,
preach a better sermon, or make a bet
ter mousetrap than his neighbor, tho
he build his house in the woods, the
world will make a beaten path to his
door.”—Emerson.
Never in the history of the automobile business
has the truth of this saying been proved so con
clusively as in the case of STUDEBAKER cars
in the six months ending June 0, 1921.
451 NEW STUDEBAKER CARS
sold retail in New York City in the month of
June, 1921. An increase of 450 per cent over the
month of June 1920.
The fact that this remarkable increase in sales
was made in A BUYERS' MARKET where a
most rigorous inspection and comparison of val
ues is made by prospective buyers, is positive
proof that STUDEBAKER CARS are the best
values to be had..
BUSINESS MEN GIVE
VIEWS ON TARIFF
FLORIDA SHERIFF OUSTED
Jacksonville, Fla., July 28.—Sheriff
. H. Dowling of Duval county was
yesterday removed from office by Gov.
Hardee for alleged malfeasance and
“neglect of his official duties as sher
iff of Duval county.”
County Commissioner R. E. Mer
ritt was appointed to succeed him and
A. H. St. John of Jacksonville nutned
to succeed Mr. Merritt.
The sheriff's removal follows his
recent indictment by a federal grand
jury on charges of conspiracy to vio
late the prohibition law.

tected the other alleged members.
YOUNG GIRL ON TRIAL
FOR KILLING HER FATHER
Galnesvilla Ga., July 28.—Myrta
Wofford, 14,* was placed on trial here
yesterday charged with the murder of
her father, Cleveland Wofford, a
farmer residing near here.
The girl testified that Wofford had
twice Improperly approached her, the
latter time threatening to kill her
when she said she would tell her
grandfather, and that she took a shot
gun and killed him the night of Feb.
15, last, when he came home and
threatened to “devour the whole fam*
ily.” Her grandparents made similar
statement^. "The girt has been living
with them since she was freed on
bond shortly after the killing.
Washington, D. C., July128.—Views!
of business men in the American valu-
atlon provisions in the Fordney tariff I
bill wore given the Senate finance
committed yesterday and support and
condemnation of the plan came al
ternatively. The day’s testimony
marked sharply the line between the
domestic manufacturer and the im
porter, the former supporting and the
latter denouncing the proposition to
change the basis of dutic# assess
ment.
The committee was told by Jacob
Dejong, a New York manufacturer,
that the claims of the plan’s oppo
nents. tlAit it would result diastrous-
ly to most lines of import was un
tenable. He declared that on the
basis of last year’s fmports less than
one billion dollars’, worth of the com
modities brought in would be material
ly affected.
Thomas H. Eddy of Marshall Field
& Co., Chicago, declared that the do
mestic valuation plans would destroy,
partially at least, the importing busi
ness because of the uncertainty-which
would follow its application. lie told
the committee that the methods of
determining value required by the bill
meant that one man’s opinions would
establish the tariff rates and so far
as his firnT was concerned, w’ould
mean that ail appraisals would be ap
pealed for settlements to custom
boards or the courts.
Hearing oh the tariff bill will be
side tracked by the committee tem
porarily today while it considers fur
ther the subject of funding the allied
debts. ’ Chairman Penrose said he
hofled ’to resume hearings on the
thrift- Friday/ taking up the 'Chetaical
schedule from which the three-year
dye embargo has been eliminated.
