Covers Many Places
Another meeting of the Athens
Restaurant assgciatlon was held at
the Georgian hotel last night for
a further discussion of the restau
rant code as prescribed by the Na
tional Recovery Administration.
The meeting wag concerned prin
cipally with clearing up some of
the points which had heretofore
been misunderstood, and at the
conclusion of the session, several
proprietorg announced that they
were ready to conform to the code
100 per cent and to sign the agree
ment to that effect. 1
It was emphasized by James
Thornton, president of the associ
ation, that the definition of a res
taurant, contained in the code,
showed that all boarding houses,
cases, fraternities, lunch counters
and soda fourts serving food,
which served more than ten people
per day were supposed to operate
under the code.
The code def§nition »f a res

Services for Educator Held
Tuesday Morning at
University Chapel
WORK IS LAUDED
High Schools of State
Honor Man Who De
voted Life to. Them
Georgians gathered this morning
with bowed heads in the Univers
sity chapel to pay homage to the
man who developed to its present
high efficiency ' the ‘high school
system of the state, to one 'of the
leading educators of. the Seuth,
and to a man whom they all loved
and revered, Dr. J. 8. Stewart,
who passed to his final rest Sun
day morning after a brief lilness.
Lying in state at the foot of the
flower-covered stage in the his
toric building two flags stood at
the head and foot of the casket—
the American flag and the flag -of
the state which he served so um
selfishly for ' many years. ' Two
members of the University mili
tary staff stood watch.
Collenguer and friends, the rich
and poor, all who had come in
contact with Dr. Stewart's genial
smile, his friendly manner, and
his warm personality, mourned his
passing as one, and many of them
who lived away from Athens made
the trip here to pay final ‘tribute
to their friend. ’
As the University faculty enter
ed the chapel, led by President S.
V. Sanford and the Rev. Lester
Rumble in a procession which
passed through the rain from the
Academic building, Hugh Hodg
son, at the organ, played Beeth=

Death of a Hero,” a fitting musical
tribute to the deceased.
Impressive Music
To the soft accompaniment of
this impressive music, Dr. Rum

Facing Test Today
i itv Vote
- In Kansas City Vote
' .
! KANBAS CITY —(AP) . Big
Tom Pendergast, Democratic boss
gof’;ioné of the nation's most power
ful. munieipal organizations, was
the one big issue as voters moved
on the ballot boxes Tuesday. |
- The question before 250,000 vo
ters was whether to retain Pen
dergast’s officials at the city hali
or turn them out in favor of a|
{fusionist slate. ‘
~ The answer is expected a few‘
hourse after the polls close, possi- |
bly by 10 p. m., central standard
time. ‘
Pendergast, in politics because
he regards it as ‘“‘a good busincss,"]
sent out a call for “a vote of con- |
fidence.” His ticket, headed by
Mayor Bryce C. Smith, said it |
stood on its record of eivic im-‘
provements and financial manage
ment. '
The opposition, led by Dr. A. 1
Ross Hill, former Univarsity ofl
Missouri president,” who aspires to
be: mayor, hurled charges of gratt!
and said “ex-convicts’”’ were on the
police force. |
One hundred and seventy-one !
extra patrolmen were stationed at
the voting places to quell violence.
Fist fights and sluggings marked'
the recent primary in which thol
same forces met and elimnated a
third ticket put in the field by the'
Republicans. Then Smith pollod!
103,000 votes to 65,000 for Hill. ,
The challenge at I}nndorgast[
brought out of political retirement
the white-haired Jim Reed, one
time United States senator.
The fiery Reed characterized
the fusionists as “just the same
old Republican gang” utilizing the
term “non-partisan” as a camou
flang to get into office.

Preparing a resolution calling
for a sweeping investigation of
President Roosevelt's so-called
“brain trust” is Representative
Alfred L. Bulwinkle (above), of
North Carolina, This action was
aroused by the startling charges
of Dr. William A. Wirt, a Gary,

a communistic form of govern

Which Branch of Gov

WASHINGTON.—(®)—Dr. 'Wil
liath A, Wirt, Gary, Ind., school
superintendent, is certain to get a
chance to name the “brain trust
ers” he charges plotted a revolu
tion in the Roosevelt administra
tion.
I The only question Tuesday was
which branch of government-—con
gress or the department of qut'ice
—would make the investigation.
An effort will be made in the
house to have a congressional com
mittee do the job. Speaker Rai
ney, on the other hand, believes
the justice department should do
it.
Called a Joke
Several of President Roosevelt’s
professional advisers termed the
mater®a “joke.” Most declined to
even discuss it. Still others were
reported reliably 'to have denied
making such statements as Dr.
Wirt listed in a letter read last
week before the house commerce
committee.
Professor Willlam F. Ogburn of
the University of Chicago, said:
“Dr. Wirt states that the ‘new
dealers’ hold out npo hope for re
covery, so that a revolution may
take place. I chalienge him to

was hunted in widely separated
sections of the country Tuesday on
reports he had been seen at San

of here, and at Detroit, Mick:
Alvin Carson, a garage man &t
San Bernardino told authorities he
saw a man whom he identified as
Dillinger riding in a motor car

Detroit authorities were inform
ed that six men, apparently led by
Dillinger, held up a railroad
freight terminal there escaping
with 328,679 in checks, which could
be of no value to them.
