TRAILING
THE NEWS
OF THE DAY
,-?* r
A great deal has been muds by
the opponents of the president, who
are opposing the I.eaguo of Nations,
of the alleged fact that the return
ed American soldiers were against
, the League. According to rc-
porta, it was a band of marines
which cheered Senator Lodge’s vi
triolic attack on the League a’few
weeks ago, breaking the senate gal
lery rules. _ Pains have been taken
to quote returned soldiers as be
ing against the League on every
possible occasion. But charges
have been made that the foes of
the League "packed” the senate
gallery for Senator* Jim Reed, of
Missouri, wheq be was given that
great ovation recently when he fin
ished a tirade on the League, and
it is more than possible that the
same method was used in the case
of Senator Lodge’s speech. Such
things have been known before,
and have often been used on other
occasions by Reed and his kind of
politician.
£
But what are the facts in regard
to the attitude of the returned sol
diers on the League of Nations?
This question was put to its first
real test yesterday at Greenville,
S. C., when the men, of the Thir
tieth division were holding their
first Reunion, the spldiers voted
ilmost unanimously for adoption of
the peace treaty, which includes the
League of Nations, as it stands and
without amendment. Here is what
the news report from Greenville
said of the occasion:
“The Thirtieth division associa
tion, having a membership of eigh
teen thousand men, mostly from
Tennessee and the Carolinas, today
at the closing session of its first an-
nuai reunion,, adopted a resolution
favoring the immediate ratification
of the treaty of peace with Ger
many itr its present form without
amendment or reservation,
"The resolution brought about a
spirited debate but was finally
adopted almost unanimously and it
memorialize^ the United States sen
ate to do its part to ratify the
treaty, including the League of Na
tions covenant.”
* * *
The election of officers, the selec
tion of the nert place of meeting,
the adoption of other resolutions
and the presentation of Distinguish
ed Service Crosses to Brigadier
General Lawrence D. Tyson, of the
69th Infantry brigade, and to Cor
poral Herman McManaway, 6t the
118th Infantry, were among other
features of the session.
Colonel Holmes B. Springs, who
commanded the trains of the Thir
tieth division and has served as
chairman of the organization com
mittee, was elected president of the
association for the ensuing year.
Frank P. Bowen, of Knoxville,
Tenn., was elected secretary and
treasurer. Other officers elected
were: First Vice President, Ser
geant M. M. Frost, of Chattanooga;
Second Vico President, John _
Williams, of North Carolina, and
Third Vice President, Sergeant
M. Milford, Anderson, S. C.

Herbert C. Hoover has "retired
from public office,” and is to de
vote the future toward making the
13 and $6 a day salaries of Stan
ford University professors more
commensurate with the $8 and $9
wages of home building artisans,
and to various relief measures in
Europe, according to a letter re
ceived from Hoover by a San
Francisco newspaper. The letter
was in response to one sent Hoover
asking about his future plans.
He also is to return between 85
million and 90 million dollars in
foreign obligations to the United
States treasury in part liquidation
of the 100 million dollars voted
by Congress for rel'ef purposes, he
wrote.

Agrees To Represent
Jensie McCullough—
Hopes To Get Facts
The Missouri Press Association
at its session at Springfield, adopt
ed a resolution appealing to the
publishers of all the large daily
newspapers of the state to dispense
with the publication of Sunday fea
ture and magaxine sections until
the crisis in the paper shortage sit
uation la passed.
r The resolution asks the Missouri
publishers to take the lead in the
movement, declaring that there can
be no relief until the utmost paper
conservation is nracticed.
• » •
The news print sitnation In the
United States was never ao acute
as now. Supplies ape difficult to ob
tain and little hope is held out for
»ny improvement In the output of
the paper mills in the future.
Before the war. In 1914, ordln-
' cry newsprint wss $39 a ton at the
mills. With the outbreak of the
war there began a iteady advance
<n prices, as well aa a diminution in
the supply. Since the armistice,
the situation has been worse then
ft was during the war. Monday of
last week the price was quoted at
*103 a ton. Friday the quotation
*** $125 at the mills, and it is a
m *tter of gnat difficulty for largo
newspaper* to obtain an ndenuate
•unnlv. The paper makers hold out
so hope of improvement In the sup-
fly until, th* completion, of new
fills—a matter of eighteen months
* more.
Although not at word or a hint
was given out today by officers as to
whether any progress was being
made in unravelling the myitery still
surrounding the murder last Wed
nesday night of Joel Edge, it de
veloped today that Jensie McCul
lough, the negro woman held in Jail
under a warrant taken out by S. H.
Edge, brother of the victim, charg
ing her with the mnrder, had retain
ed Judge J. A. Hixon, of the law
firm of Hixon & Pace, and was pre
paring to fight the charge claiming
her innocence of any connection with
the crime.
Judge Hixon admitted that ho had
been retained in the case, bat. de
clined to divulge any of his plans,
other than to say that ho did not
contemplate making any early de
mand for a committment hearing, be
ing satisfied to allow bis client to
remain temporarily in the custody
of the sheriff while the officers—
and himself—are attempting to cleat
up the details of the ldH'ng, none
which the officials declare, have
come out. So far as evidence Is
concerned, all emphatically declare
nothing has been found connecting
any person with the crime.
"I took the case upon the insistent
pleas of Fannie McCullough, mother
of Jensie .whom the people of this
community hav e known for a long
time, and whom I have represented
in cases before this,” said Judge
Hixon. “I was not anxious to have
the case, for it will involve a great
deal of unpleasant work, but I final
ly consented to handle it and hope to
assist the officers in clearing up the
killing.
"So far I have not gone Into the
details of the Investigation enough
to say what mov 0 wo can make, but
we believe that eventually the truth
will come out And that when it docs
the finger of suspicion will no longer
point to Jensie.”
Rumors and theories still persist
ed about the streets today, but with-
out any facts to substantiate them.
So far the arrest of Jensie McCul
lough is the only official move that
has been made in th„ case, and ft
was said today tnors was nothing In
sight at this time to indicate when
any new developments might be ex
pected.
UNION CONTROL
OF INDUSTRIES
MEANS DECAY’
Says Gary At Probe
Hearing—Steel Men
Best Paid
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.—(By As
sociated Press.)—If labor unions arc
to control the industries in the Unit
ed States “it means decay* and the
dropping of production," Judge El
bert Gary, chairman of the board of
the U. S. Steel corporation, told the
Senate labor committee today. "It
means this country cannot keep up in
the race with the world,” he said. "It
means the condition I fear England
is in today.”
Denying the steel corporation had
mistreated its men, as was charged by
union leaders, Judge Gary told the
committee that in his opinion there
was no basic industry in the world
which paid larger wages than his com
pany.
Judge Gary denied Samuel Gom-
pers’ statement that Jefferson D.
Pierce, a union organizer, had been
beaten by the company's agents.
Referring to a statement by. Chair
man Fitzpatrick, of the steel strik
ers’ committee, he said the corpora
tion had no connection "with the Stan
dard Steel company, at Hammond,
Ind., where men hadbeen killed. "
