The o-d foun lain had stood as it was, with conica icet iron top, for twenty years, som old citizens said, and previously to that a steam engine to pump water from the well underneath the pres ent pavement had stood there. Although far less than the amount! of money originally set about to ob- | tain has been secured by the general ; committee handling the monument ! campaign, plans hav • been complet- i ed for erecting the mo ; .m.ent any way, on somewhat differem; plans Instead of a carved marble base ; no 1 column which was planned to hold, the doughboy statue, a granite bould er will be used. The doughboy fig ure will surmount it, just as planned and a simple bronze tablet will oe cupy a place on its side. Instead ol four ornamental lamp posts being placed at the corners of the monu- ] * went, these will be erected at th( .' • ' Jjidewalk. corners, -where, also sani- I ■ tary drinking fountains will stand.

GUMMING up the Arbuckle case, Police Judge Lazarus commented on the scarcity of evidence that might he construed to connect the defendant with a crime. T'e assistant district attorney in terrupted: “But your honor is not ov erlooking the witness who heard Miss Rappe saying ‘l’m dying, he hurt me’?” “No,” answered the court, “but 1 am taking into consideration the fact that she was in great pain, that she said he hurt her, but not that he at tacked her. IL reminds me of the line in Lord Byron's ‘Don Juan’ ‘And saying she would never consent, Consented’.” '1 e courtroom laughed uproari ously, say the. dispatches. Usually, in commenting on a crimi nal charge as serious as that in the ArbuckJe-Rappc case, the judge uses as his reference such serious sources as the Ten Commandments or the statutes based fundamentally on them. Lord Byron, the distinguished reference cited by Police Judge Laza rus, was a rake, notorious in his da? as a dissolute and revolting partici pant in the vilest of debauches. When law conceives any connec tion between such a character and a case like the Rappe girl’s fate. Black stone finds himself in rb-c company of Boccaccio and Oscar Wilde. It a rotten precedent. BLAME The National Consumers’ League working against long hours for wo men employes of hotels, says the rea: blame is with the people who patron ize the hotels in question. That is /worth thinking over twice, worth talking about. Industrial evils cannot exist, with out the financial support of con sumers. Evil will cease to exist when we reward good and refuse evil our patronage. FORGOTTEN In I (if);; two important, skeletons were discovered near Tournai, France. They have just been indent!- fied as Mr. and Mrs. Childeric. Ever bear the name? Few have. Yet Childeric was king of the Franks (ancient French) in the year 451 when the Franks and their allies stopped Attila and his invad ing Chinese armies at the Marne. That battle determined that Europe was to have a white instead of Mongolian civilization. Three hun dred thousand dead were left on the field. Now Childeric and his legions are nearly forgotten.

BANKERS TOLD No Cause For ePssimistic Con clusion, Says President Os American Association FORCES AT WORK TO RIGHT MAL-ADJUSTMENT I A Little Human Sympathy Need ed In Revenue Act, Says eDtroiter LOS ANGELES, Oct. 4—(By As j soeiated Press) -There is nothing in ! either the domestic or foreign situa- ■ tion to give rise to the pessimistic • conclusion that the world is riding i straight to ruin, John S. Drum, ol San Francisco, president of th'- ; American Bankeih association, de I elared at the opening sesson of the convention of that body here today. “Rational examination of our con dition today must prove to the great- I est doubter that our problems are but j natural manifestations of world with | mal-adjustmcnt that, great natural forces arc working to remedy,” he | said. : The injection of a little human ’ sympathy into the. Revenue act will] , do no harm, Henry M . Campbell, of I Detroit, chairman of the legislative] committee, said in an address. “Section 203 of the nee act amends section 202 of the act of 1918, so as to provide that in the of gifts made after December 31, 1920, the value, as a basis for i taxation in case of sale, shall be the ! cost to the donor or, the last pieced ! ing owner by whom it was not. ac ] quired by gift,” said Mr. Campbell, I “while in the case of bequests, de ' vises and inheritances, the basis is the value at the time the -bequests take effect. This distinction is il logical and unfair. Some acade+tM<- theorists must have devised this 1 scheme. Sentiment Alone Enough. “Sentimental reasons alone are ; sufficient td justify fixing the value; of property at the time the gift is received as the basis for ascertaining] the gain or loss, in case of sale. The 1 I significance of the gift is lost if it | I must be accepted subject to the re- ! I quirement that the donee must ascer- ] ! tain the cost and in case of sale must ; j pay a tax upon the basis of w'tat thv I gift cost the donor or the last pre- j i ceding owner by whom i! was not ac- ; I quired by gift. “The difficulty of determinig the i ; cost of the gift to the donor of the] 1 last preceding owner by whom it was I not. acquired by gift is also likely in many cases to be insurmountable. In-j ; eluded in the gifts subject to the act. i arc heirlooms, books and manuscripts, I ! works of art, cherished household be-! longings, Christmas gifts, wedding! presents and many other things' i whose value lies chiefly in the senti ; ment attached to them. Imagine the recipients rdj- a wedding present re ! plying to the donor: ‘We gratefully! acknowledge acceptance of your gift I provided you furnish us with a certi : fied statement of its cost.' A Notable Example. j “Another interesting illustration of j how the law might, operate—a sword! ; once owned by Labayette was giver: i by him to a distinguished member of f 'a prominent Virginia family. The ] ] sword has been handed down from] ' father to son for more than one hun- 1 “died years. The present owner has] been offered a fabulous price for it . ; but he has refused to part with it But suppose that poverty or misfor : tune compelled the owner to sell the i sword, what value would be taken as the basis for the tax? Would it be the cost to LaFayette, provided I that it could be shown what he paid i for it? “There is also grave doubt as to ; the validity of the provision authoriz : ing the commissioner to fix the value. ;in the absence of all information ; available for the purpose. “There has been some apprehen- I sion ; —that the word ‘gift’ was used in the Revenue act might be con strued to include what are generally ■ known as voluntary or living trusts The voluntary trust is not a gift, but , is more of the nature of a transfer ] under a general appointment, or ir. ■ I contemplation of death ”. afford to give us three full days as sistance so we are calling for volun teers to help us a few hours one or more days.

In my flight ! 1 used a special propeller, that was j doing only 1100 revolutions a minute when 1 took off at. McCook Field, but I even then it was not able to ac celerate enough to drive me beyond 40,800 feet into the higher, thin ner stratus of air. A biplane was used in this test because no monoplane has yet been developed which can compare with a biplane in altitude flying. It hap pens that this was Etc same machine in which Major R. W. Schroeder made his record altitude flight, which T have been fortunate enough to sur pass. Data Obtained. I made some scientific observa tions which I believe will be of value in the study of aeronautics. I found: That flying at a height of more than 40,000 feet is extremely diffi cult owing to the fact that air re i distance is so slight that it is hard to control the present design of ship. That 1 was unable to verify Ma jor Schoeder’s observation that at ; these high altitudes there was a ] steady trade wind of approximately ' 200 miles an hour. That the- stars ami mom* are. not I visible in the ratified atmosphere of *IO,OOO feet, a point which I was 1 especially instructed to observe. That I l ' e temperature at 40,000 feet is 58 degrees below zero. ; That, a new type </f propeller i must: be designed which will bite - into the ratified air of the higher ! altitudes, if a flier is going to make ! a complete conquest of the clouds . Alsojbere must be improvements ' in the ’supercharger, a device which ; was the cause of my making tny ] flight, for I set out to reach an alti ! tnde of 30,000 feet in order to test I this out. Escape* Suffering. , 1 didn’t, suffer grcatluy in the t flight. My main difficulty was with vis- I inn. It would take me as much as i2O seconds to read the figures on :mv instrument board.

I Perfection of new devices since Major Schroeder’s flight saved me ! front the physical hardships which ; he endured,’ including the freezing of I his eyes. A flier at eight miles altitude has , one comforting- thought—if bis on ; vine goes dead he can coast to etirtli jin comfort. From that viewpoint a I flier- is safer at eight miles than a* 800 feet. as an advertising feature. It was re painted by C. B.

The body was in I white, and the running gears ami i fenders, in blue. On the sides of the car was the lettering, “The Spirit | of the American Doughboy,” and on, each of the four doors was a photo graphic reproduction of the statue, neatly varnished over. The front of each fender was surmounted by silk i en American flags in handsome hold ! ers; and on the radiator cap was a-i I doughboy miniature in gold finish, : The party left Americus in mid-as- i ' ternoon Monday and reached Macon . at 8:30 o'clock last evening, where ; they held a conference with Walter ' Rylander, one of the manufacturers 'of the doughboy statue.

F 4 v I Ri CLASH RESULTS OVER REPEATED WIFE’S CHARGES Sheriff Tarver Tells On Stand That Mrs. Hudson Accused Husband And He Her SEEKING TO SUBVERT ‘ -LAW, SAYS DEFENSE I State- Attempting Indirectly To Introduce Forbidden Testi mony—Judge Overrules I ALBANY, Oct. 4.—Motion to de clare a mistrial in the Hudson rnur- I tier ease moved by t! " defense coun ] cl this morning, was denied by Judge I Bell. The motion was made when the i Mate sought to introduce testimony’ to the efect that Sheriff Tarver told liudscn bis wife accused jiim of the crime, and that Hudson in turn ac cused her of killing the boys. Attorney Peyton, for the defense, charged Solicitor General Gardner* was seking to do by indirection what the. Georgia law forbids—introduc ing the testimony es a wife against her husband Tins was denied by Gardner. ALBANY, Oct. 4.—More than a score of witnesses today remained to be called by the state in the trial of Glen Moore Hudson, jointly indicted ' with his wife for the murder of her j two small sons. Robert and Isaiah Temple, aged 1 0 and 4, last Jul y!2. Hudson is being tried by eleven jurors, one of the original number, Robert Slappey, farmer, having been excused by Judge Bell on account of illness in his family. Both prosecu tion and defense agreed to continue the hearing with only eleven jurors. The cleVen jurors trying the cas? are: A. C. Arnold, clothing salesman,*. Geo. P. Mock, farmer; W. E. Carter, dry goods merchant; U, E. Carter, railroad clerk; J. S. Etheridge, sec retary- Albany Retail-Me sociation; E. S. Maultsby, wholesale grocery salesman; G. T. Phelps, rail road cashier; J. A. Hunt, salesman: M. D. L. Hunt, salesman. The Hunts are brothers. Features of the first day’s sesisoa of the trial included the introduction of witnesses by the state tending to shew that the crime was not commit ted while Hudson and his wife wera away from home, as they had first contended, and also to show a mo tive on the part of Hudson for killing the children. That Hudson’s wife had quarreled with him the day before the killing, upbraidening him for not getting ;* job, as her children were sufefrin/} from hunger, was testified to by Shop Bruno, a negro. Objection to this testimony way made by the defense on the ground that it was a privileged communica* tion between husband and wife. The state contended that as the alleged quarrel took place in the pres ence of a third person it. was not such privileged communication and there* fore was admissible as evidence. Thu court overruled the objection. That this quarrel between Hudson and hia wife showed a motive for Hudson to kill the children is contended by tha prosecution.
