HESEIVTS CHARGE OF
ARBITR_ARY_ACTION
Chairman James J. Flynt, of the
state Democratic executive commit
tee, in Atlanta on Tuesday, took no
tice of the increasing demand that
Herbert Hoover's name be placed on
the ballot in the presidential pre
ferential primary on April 20 by em
phatically declaring that neither he :
nor the subcommittee on rules, ot j
which he is chairman, wishes to i
assume any autocratic attitude in |
this matter.
Although refusing to admit that
he will call a special session of the
entire state committee to consider
the widespread demand of Georgia
Democrats, he said that there is no
disposition, on the part of the sub
committe to be unfair or to dis
franchise any Democratic vote
from expressing his choice for pres
ident. Chairman Flynt was plainly
peeved over two propositions, to
wit: The charge which has been
made that the subcommittee chang
ed the qualification rule for presi
dential candidates in order to bar
Mr. Hoover and the charge which
lias been made in many quarters that
the subcortftnittee was arrogating to I
itself arbitrary and czar-like powers
in proscribing Mr. Hoover alid there- i
by denying the Demochits ot the
state an opportunity to express
i hemselves on whether or not they
want Mr. Hoover for their standard
bearer.
Chairman Flynt grew vehement in
his discussion of these two proposi
tions and in his defense of the ac
tion of the subcommittee. He went
so far as to dictate a statement to
The Journal representative, which
he requested to be published as
showing the attitude of himself and
the subcommittee. This statement
appears further on in this story.
Forty-Five Repllee Received
Referring to his poll of the mem
bers of the state executive commit
tee, on whether they favored Mr.
Hoover’s name going on the ballot,
Chairman Flynt said that he had
sent out his questionnaire with the
purpose of ascertaining how the
members of the general committee
felt concerning the attitude of the
subcommittee. I-Ie said that out of
the seventy-six members of the com
mittee, he had received replies from
about forty or forty-five and that
just off hand he would say that
these replies were about six to one
in indorsing the subcommittee.
Chairman Flynt would not posi
tively state that he would not call
a meeting of the general committee
before the presidential primary of
April 29. He did say that after
he had received replies from all of
the committeemen he would an
nounce the result of the poll and
would determine whether there was
any reason for calling the commit
tee together.
He Can’t Believe It
Asked if he did not believe there
i was a widespread and insistent de
i mand for the putting of Mr. Hoov
! er’s name on the ballot, Chairman
Flynt said that all he knew-.of any
such demand was what he had seen
in 'the press, and that he was not
prepared to believe that it was as
great as the press sought to make
it appea-.
Hiram Gardner, of Eatonton, sec
retary of the state committee, and -
ex-officio member of the subcom
mittee, happened to bo in Atlanta (
on Tuesday and it was in Mr. Gard- j
ner’s room at the Kimball house;
that Chairman Flynt gave out his
interview. He and Mr. Gardner were
in full accord on all, points dis
cussed.
When the significance of the fact
that both were here at the same
time was mentioned, each stated that
he did not know that the other was
to be in Atlanta on Tuesday. Both
denied that they were here for any
kind of a conference and Mr. Gard
ner expressed the purpose of accom
panying Mr. Flynt to Griffin on
Tuesday afternoon. It is expected
that while they are together they
will go fully into the details of the
rather acute situation and perhaps
formulate some futpre policy.
Judge riynt’s Statement
The statement dictated to The
Journal representative by Chairman
Flynt and concurred in by Secretary
Gardner, follows:
“The subcommittee was appointed
under a resolution unanimously
passed ly the whole state committee
at the meeting on February 6, 1920.
The chair immediately appointed the
following subcommittee: Fermor Bar
rett, of Toccoa: 11. 11. Dean, of
Gainesville; Miller Bell, of Milledge
ville; J. IL Milner, of Eastman; T
11. Parker, of Moultrie, with the
chairman and secretary an ex-officio
members.
“After the adjournment of the
state committee, the subcommittee
met in my room to prescribe rules
under the resolution of the commit
tee to govern the presidential pri
mary At the meeting of the sub
committee rules were adopted for
the conduct of the preferential pri
mary, the leading rule of which read
AnJ Democrat qualified for the
presidency of the United States may
have his name placed upon the ticket
by petition of 100 qualified Demo
cratic voters.’
“This, along with the other rules,
was adopted without having in mind
the name of any man who nngli f
possibly become a candidate on the
ticket to be voted in the presidential
primary on April 20. These rules
were printed by the secretary on
February 10 and sent to the chair-

Ships Made Available
For Importing Nitrate
Indications are that enough Chileam
nitrate will reach the United States
to meet the nitrate requirements of
American farmers for this season.
The limiting factor was lack of ton
nage to bring the nitrate to American
ports. The department of agricul
ture on February 7 placed before the
shipping board the necessity for
prompt action in making such ton
nage available. A conference w-as
held on .February 1 between the ship
ping board and representatives of
principal ‘ nitrate concerns arid an
agreement was reached under which
the board agrees to furnish prompt
requisite tonnage covering the period
from now until July 1. After that
date, according to the agreement, im
porters will submit their sales on
the first of each succeeding month
and the shipping board will enter
into further engagements to supply
the required tonnage.
Deliveries will be somewhat delay
ed for February and Marell, but
nitrate concerns believe that they
will now be able to handle April, May
and June arrivals in such way as to
clear up all deliveries thatv are be
hind and to take care of the forward
business in good form. Indications
are that importers will make deliv
eries in accordance with contract,
subject to some possible delay during
the next few weeks.
men of the countj' committees. I
received a copy of these printed
rules several days before the sub
committee met the second time.
“Before the committee held its
second meeting and after the rules
had been printed and sent out broad
cast over the state, carrying the
word ‘Democrat,’ Mr. Gardner, the
secretary, called me over long dis
tance telephone and called my at
tention to an interview by M’
Hoover published in the newspapers,
p.rd I think in The Journal —but will
not be positive about that —saying
he was not a Democrat.
Called Subcommittee
“Mr. Gardner requested that in
view of this interview I make a rul
ing as to Mr. Hoover's eligibility un
der the rules already written and
printed. I refused to make the rul-s
ing, but stated that I would call the
entire subcommittee together, which?
I subsequently had Mr. Gardner do.
“At this second meeting and after,l
the rules had been printed and pro-;
mulgated. the question was discuss-/
ed in the committee as to whether-
Mr. Hoover’s name should appear
upon the ticket in view of his inter-;
view that he was not a Democrat. .
"The committee decided to have
the secretary write Mr. Hoover re
questing of him an expression as to’
whether he desired to qualify under
the rules formerly prescribed by
the committee. His answer to this
legitimate query, I think, was that
he had never been a Democrat before
the war, that his war work was
of a non-partisan nature, and he de
clined, as he stated, for other rea
sons, to permit the use of his name.
"If Mr. Hooven now desires to qual
ify as a candidate under these rules,
I, as chairman of the committee, will
guarantee, under authority of the
committee, that his name will ap
pear upon the ticket with the other
candidates who have qualified.
“While I personally do not believe
there is any great demand for Mr.
Hoover's candidacy, yet should he
qualify under the rules, the state
committee would be pleased at his
action, as they have no desire to dis
qualify any Democratic voter in this
state from Expressing his choice in
the Democratic preferential primary.”
■W IS TAKEN
FOR B. C. BACHELLER.
PALMETTO BANKER
That IL C. Bacheller, missing vice
president of the Bank of Palmetto,
Ga., charged With embezzling sev
eral thousand dollars from the bank,
before his shortage was discovered,
prepared for flight by purchasing in
Atlanta an expensive outfit of
clothing, was the opinion expressed
Tuesday by Dr. T. P. Bullard, presi
dent of the Bank of Palmetto.
Dr. Bullard on Monday swore out a
warrant charging Mr. Bacheller with
embezzlement, and the warrant is
now in the hands of Sheriff Jenkins,
of Campbell county. At the same
time, Attorneys Smith, Hammond &
Smith, of Atlanta, acting for the
Bank of Palmetto, attached Mr.
Bacheller’s property in Palmetto,
which includes his home and his
automobile. His property altogether
is valued at between $7,000 and
§10,000.. The bond for attachment
was sighed at 10 o'clock by the
bank.
Additional details regarding Mr.
Bacheller’s disappearance, secured
and made public Tuesday by Dr.
Bullard, revealed tlie fact that he
left his family with only a few dol
lars, that he had evidently been
planning to leave, but that he wrote
a letter from Atlanta after his
flight, declaring he intends to return
and make good every dollar of the
shortage.
“To my personal knowledge, Mrs.
Bacheller has only $27 to her name,”
said Dr. Bullard. “I state this in
order to let the public know that
she and the other members of the
family are entirely innocent. They
are stricken by the affair and we all
| feel very sorry for them. The eight
j een-year-old boy 'and the two little
Bacheller girls , are with their
mother.”
Boy, Age 7, a Marvel in
The Eyes of Teachers,
i A Graduate Already
SYRACI SB. A'. Y.—Babbling the
XHebrew tongue at the age of four
and one-half, making translations
of the ancient Hebraic of the Bible
into pure English at five, and ready
to graduate from grammar into high
school at the age of seven—that is
the record of Moses Finkelstein, of
this city, pronounced by educators
at Syracuse university the most re
markable infant prodigy in the his
tory of American education.
If the seven-year-old' Syracuse boy
maintains his present rate of prog
ress, he will meet the university
entrance requirements, as far as
studies are concerned, at the age of
ten years. He is the youngest grad
uate ever to be sent from a Syra
cuse school, if not from any gram
mar institution in the country.
Moses is the son of Mr. and Mrs.
Nathan Finkelstein, 130 Rose ave
nue. Incidentally, he is not the only
child in the family to show the un
usual mental advancement. His sis
ter, two years younger, is fast fol
lowing in his footsteps and her
school instructors predict, the same
brilliant achievement for her. ,
Both Moses and his sister, Ger
trude, are pupils in Croton school
here. Until the present term, the
brother- attended Washington Irv
ing, w’here he' established a marvel-
O/Us record, by jumping from one
. df the primary grades to the sixth
, year. His instructor there was Miss
. Mary Finnegan.
“Moses can grasp a point long
■ before children twice his age un
derstand,’’ Miss Finnegan said. “He
, can talk upon any subject raised.
I He shows astounding training along
: a diversity of lines. He simply
amazes with his knowledge of na
tional and world-wide affairs. His
torical personages are tabulated in
his seven-year-old brain with un
erring facility.”
The parents 1 of the prodigy see
» nothing Unusual, in their son’s re
markable mentality. They credit it
to the training he has received.
Oriental, Panic Stricken,
Calls on Fire God for Help
s During the recent lava flow down
the side of Mauna Loa on the island
of Hawaii an ancient Chinese farmer

THE WILLY-NICKY LETTERS
Godfather to Czarevitch
"Schloss Wilhelmhoehe, Aug. 19,
1904. —Dearest Nicky: What a very
kind thought that was of yours to
ask me to be godfather to your little
boy. YOU can well imagine what our
joy was when we read your telegram
announcing his birth. ‘Was lange
wahrt wird gut’ (“what takers long
lasts well”) says an old German
proverb, so may it be with this little
dear one! May he to be a
brave soldier and a wise and power
ful statesman, and may God’s bless
ings always rest on him and pre
serve him from all harm of body
and soul. May he always be as a
ray of sunshine to you both during
your life, as he is now in the time
or trial! Henry is the bearer, of
these lines and of my sincerest and
heartfelt wishes for you, Alix, and
the boy, accompanied by the gift of
a goblet for my little godchild, which
he will, I hope, begin to use when
he think’s that a man’s thirst can
not forever be quenched -with milk
only. Perhaps he may then find out
for himself one day that ‘Ein gut
glas Branntewein, soli
nicht schadlich sein’ (“A good glass
of brandy is not harmful at mid
night”) is not only a ’truism,’ but
that often ‘lm wein ist wahrheit nur
allein’ (“In wine alone is truth”) as
the butler sings in ‘Undine,’ to be
wound up by the classical word of
our great reformer, Dr. Martin Lu
ther, ‘Wer nicht liebt wein, weib und
gesang’ (‘‘He who loves not wine,
woman and song remains a fool his
life long.”) These would be the
maxims I would try to see my god
child educated up to! There is great
sense in them and nothing can be
said against them.
Hopes Russia Will Win
“T*lie course of the war has been
most trying to your army and navy,
artd I deeply grieve for the loss ot
so many brave officers and men who
fell or were drowned in doing their
duty, loyally fulfilling the oath they
swore to their emperor. May the re
inforcements which are being sent
out increase the numbers and powers
of your army to such an extent that
the absolute supremacy may be es
tablished also in numbers. As far
as I could make out Kuropatkin has
180,000 men in the field, whereas the
Japs muster about 250,000 to 280 o
-000. This seems a disparity still
and makes your valiant general’s
task a very heavy one. Should your
battleships in making their last dash
from Port Arthur, not be able to
reach Vladivostok on account of in
juries received in the fight, their
best chance is to try for Tsingtau,
where they will be well looked after
till the end of the war, instead of
being blown up or sunk; just as well
as we will take care of ‘Zesare
witch’ and the torpedo boats. May
next year bring better luck when
thd army prepared- and formed in
full strength will be able to tackle
their enemy with better chance, asi
there <is for the moment; for it I
seems to me that Kouropatkin is I
still in danger of being cut off from I
his retreat, which he will have toj
fight for in the direction of Mukden;
God grant he may get through un
scathed. The old saying of Napo
leon I still holds true, ‘la victoire
est avec les gros battalions.’
“There is no doubt to me that
you will and must win in the long
run, but it will cost both money
and many men; as the enemy tsi
and well led and can only be I
beaten by overwhelming numbers!
and time and patience. Os course the
operations of the field army will be
easier and will give better results,
as soon as the Baltic fleet will have
arrived on the scene, and forced the
Jap fleet back into their ports, thus
restituting the command of the sea
to you, now lost by the inefficiency
of the admirals in command of the
naval forces at Port Arthur. The
command of the sea is an absolutely
necessary equivalent to the final suc
cess of the land campaign of thej
army. As it deprives the enemy of
his base supports, re-enforcements,
etc., which he can now use freely
for the pouring in of reserves, am
munitions, commissariat, evacuation
of wounded, etc.

ruary I worked out a plan of mo
bilization on my own account, found
ed upon the. number of Japanese di
visions of flyst line. These being ten
to twelve divisions, it gives twenty
Russian divisions absolute suprem
acy oyer them; that means ten
army cofps. Os these four Siberian
corps may be deducted as being on
the spot forming the Manchurian
army; it leaves six corps to be sent
from Russia. They would be form
ed in two arnjies of three corns each,
served by a cavalry corps of eight
brigades, with four mounted bat
teries per army. That was what I
expected -would be sent out and what
would be ‘sufficient to win with.
Leaving the Manchurian army as a
sort of advanced guard to mask the
arrival of the Russian- corps at their
base and their formation and dislo
cation as an army, I didn’t venture
to write you my ideas, as it is not
my business to meddle with your af
fairs and I was afraid of your tell
ing me to mind my own business,
as you know better what Russia re
quires. But at this moment, the first
stage of the campaign being prao
'tically over, I thought it might be
of interest to you.

Aflame, Man Speeds to a
Sanitarium for Help
William Weber, twenty-seven
years old, garage proprietor at Sel
lersburg, Ind., was probably fitiliy
burned whan a can of oil he was
using in building’ a fire in the
kitchen of his home exploded and
a robe he was wearing ignited.
Enveloped in flames, Weber ran to
his bedroom, where he attempted to
smother the fire by rolling in bed.
Failing, he resorted to a fire extin
guisher, but his efforts were futile.
Dashing from his home almost
nude, his body ablaze, Weber ran
'to Hauss sanitarium, three blocks
distant, where he collapsed. Phy
sicians at the institution, who put
out the flajnes, hold little hope
for his recovery.
Mrs. Clara Weber, his wife, asleep
in another part of the home, was
unaware of her husband’s fate until
notified by attaches of the sana
torium.
