S. Holliday, has been closed with the signing of a lease in At lanta by J. B. Allen, representing the Woolworth Five and Ten Cent company. The lease has been under con sideration for several weeks, but the announcement of its closing could not be announce, until today. The Woolworth company contem plates extensive improvements, on the building, it was learned from George Wheatley, who has handled the deal, which probably will be started early in 1925. Because the construction forces of the Wool worth company are now engaged on other buildings, immediate work here has been delayed, said Mr. Wheatley. The lease became effective this month and runs for a period of 15 years. The consideration could not be learned. Mr. Wheatley says he will sub lease the storeroom as it now stands until January 1 or possibly until February at a nominal rental. It is understood that the Wool worth Company may extend the building back along Jackson street to the alley and make other changes before occupying the corner.

STEWART NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.—Politi cians who consider Charles W. Bryan too radical to be safe have been crying out for sometime that a deadlock electoral college the first of the year would amount jrat ticaliy to Bryan for president. It doesn’t necessarily follow, how ever. It only follows, if it follows ai all, in case the Progressives are the tail enders in the election in November. And they may not be. If the Retpublicans lead and the progressives make the second best showing, which is possible, then an clec<oral college deadlock means Cha . les G. Dawes for president just just as naturally as the other lineup means Bryan. Just Suppose! Politticians who consider Dawes too onservative to be safe—just as the conservatives (consider Bryan too >-adical—don’t seem to have thought of this. At any rate, they haven’t emitted any loud cries about it, as the others have. C impare the two cases. S y the electoral college does deadlock, with Coolidge and Dawes receiving a plurality of the vote’s, and La Follette and Wheelei - in third place. Then suppose the House of Representatives, charged with the task of picking the president in case the ■ lectoral college can’t do it, also deadlocks, as probably it would , L. such a situation the Senate real ly would make the presidential cho e, for the Senate elects the ■ vice president if the college cannot, - and if the House couldn’t elect a J pre ident, then the Senate’s vice s pre dential selection would becoms s pre dent. I it while the House' authorized by he constitution to vote on thbee pre idential candidate, the Senate vot'-s on but two candidates for the vice presidency. Bryan Thus the senatoroial voting would be limited to Dawes and Bryan. I i a case like that it’s not strain ing matters to assume that the Pro" gressive senators, deeming Bryan preferable to the urquestionably con servative Dawes, would throw their strength to Bryan. And, of course, the Democrats would vote for him. Between Democrats and Progres sive ' he’d have a majority and would become vice president, and imme diately afterward president. But suppose, with Coolidge and Da-'eg’leading in the ilcctorial cjl hge, Li( Follette and Wheeler came second and Davis and Bryan third. 3 hen, if both the college and the lloi.se deadlocked, the Senate would have to choose between Dawes and Wheeler. Naturally Dawes would get the Republicans’ support. And does anybody think there I aren’t enough conservative Demo i cratic senators who would throw ci in the back seats of commandeer ed touring cars. On arrival at head quarters, the Chinese Red Cross took care of them. The latter or ganization has not, however, tmen close to the firing line. their votes to him to give him a majority? Anybody who does imagine such a thing doesn’t know much about the Senate of the United States. hugeTheWdmh REACHES FI. WORTH Big Navy Dirigible Tied Up To Mooring Mast Shortly After Dark, Wednesday FORT WORTH, Oct. 9.— (By Associated Press.) Favorable weather conditions prevail here today. The Shanandoah will make the second leg of its trans-conti nental flight from here. FORT WORTH, Oct. 9 The giant navy dirigible Shenandoah ar rived at Fort Worth at 7:25 o'clock Wednesday exening. The Shenandoah sailed westward from Fort Worth this morning at 9:45. It was dark when the great ship skirted the city limits and, following the guiding light of the mooring mast beacon, passed over the east ern portion of the city, and set* lid at the mast. Little difficulty was encountered in making the giant fast. A crowd of several thousand per sons welcomed the big craft and a mighty ovation of whistles and bells announced its arrival. National guardsmen, augmented by Boy Scouts and police, held back the crowds which surged forward as the Shenandoah’s nose was drawn i r ’to the big cone on the mast. Oresmen find mirrors useful as aids to training. It has been observed that several kinds of flowers are affected ly music. j LITTLE* JOE 3J ThFtPOUBIF is THAT TOO MANY GOOD INTENTIONS ARE CARRIED OUT- -- ON A STRETCHER.' • Nh&s X ©m* ev nu sdwitt, -inc.

M’DONALD DEFEATED BY VOTE OF 364 TO 198 ■ LONON, Oct. 9.—The house of commons Wednesday night passed the liberal amendment, providing for an inquiry into the labor gov ernment’s dismissal of charges against a communist editor. The vote was 364 to 198. This constituted a defeat of the labor government. Premier Mc onald had announced previously that if the motion were passed, his government would “go to the coun try.” The conservative motion of cen sure voted on previously, was de feated 350 to 198 when the liberals joined with the laborites in oppos ing it. The conservatives, how ever, supported the liberals in the latter’s amendment. It was the most fateful session of parlian.ent since Premier Me-' Donald assumed office. Earlier in the day, the conservatives introduc ed their motion of censure against the laborites for the withdrawal of sedition charges against the com munist editor, Ellis. The liberal party was represented by the mo tion for an amendment, which pro vided an inquiry into the incident. McDonald Issue* Warning McDonald, opening his defense, warned that passage of either res olution would “end a government which had contributed much to the honor and social stability of the country.!’ Sir Patridk Hastings, Attorney general, who dismissed the charges against the communist editor, spoke in defense of his action, but said he was not attempting to apol ogize and would “do the same thing again under similar circumstances.” Hastings, explaining his part in the matter, said that he had started the prosecution of the communist editor, Ellis, when the latter’s dis tinguished record in the war, where he was crippled, was pointed out to him. Then he and the solicitor-gen eral consulted McDonald, who had declared the prosecution would do more harm than good. The cabinet had taken the same attitude, Hast ings said; whereupon he ordered that the prosecution be dropped. The temper of many members of commons was reflected in a statement during the debate by T. ?. O’Connor, who urged the debate be adjourned “to permit everyone to cool off.’’ “Not a dozen members of this house want an election on this tin pot issue,’ he declared. Former Premier Asquith, leader of the liberals, taunted- the premier for “whimpering’’ anj for deliver ing his pwn “ante-mortem funeral oration.’ The liberals, he said, werely wanted an impartial investi gation in the interests of justice.
