Wwkto Stouniul VOL. XXII. NO. 76. UNDER WOOD AND HEFLIN ARE ELECTED Injunction Against Committee Stands) WATSON CONDUCTS OWJ CASE BEFORE JUDGE B.FJVOER Remarks to Couij Concern ing Conduct of Subcom mittee in Atlanta Are Caustic in Extreme BY RALPH SMITH (The Journal’s Staff Correspondent) WARRENTON, Ga., May 14. Thomas E. Watson appeared in per son and conducted his own case be fore Judge B. F. Walker when the Injunction against the Democratic state executive committee, and against the subcommittee on rules of the state committee, came on for a hearing at 11 o’clock this morn ing In the Warren county court house. Mr. Watson drove over in an au tomobile from Thomson in company with his attorney, B. J. Stephens, who filed the petition asking for the injunction. He was apparently /in good humor and high spirits. Scores of friends greeted him on his arrival at the courthouse square. Although in good humor, his re marks to Judge Walker concerning the conduct of s he subcommittee, at their meeting in Atlanta last Tues day. were caustic in the extreme. At the conclusion of Mr. Watson’s • argument, Judge Walker continued the injunction in force until the next regular term of his court in October, but took no action for the present toward holding the members of the subcommittee in contempt. Mr. Watson informed the news paper men that he would go back be fore Judge Walker after the presi dential convention, which is to be held in Atlanta May IS, and ask that the members of the subcommit tee be cited for contempt. It was also quite probable, he intimated, that the entire state executive com mitee would be cited for contempt if they took any action next Monday in Atlanta which sought to control the state convention. The injunction, he pointed out, is directed to the entire state committee as well as to the subcommittee on rules. Ault Reads Answer The hearing was scheduled to be gin at 10 o’clock. Judge "Walker was delayed an hour in reaching Warrenton, so it did not commence until 11 o’clock. Mr. Watson and his attorney, Mr. Stephens, wfere ready at that hour. So was E. S. Ault, the well-known Cedartown attorney, who came to represent the subcom mittee. ! The answer was read by Attorney Ault was signed by James J. Flynt, as chairman of thp state committee and of the subcommittee. Attorney Ault stated that Judge Flynt was the only member who had been served. This was promptly denied by Mr. Matson, "who said he was prepared to show that all of the subcommit tee were served, and that all of them took cognizance of service by dis cussing the injunction at their meet ing in Atlanta last Tuesday. In the answer, Judge Walker was asked to dismiss the Injunction on the ground that Mr. Watson’s peti tion was not drawn up in proper lorr P- He was further asked to dis qualify himself on the ground that he is himself a delegate to the presidential convention, and hence an interested party. The answer aiso demurred on the ground that the peti wn.set up no cause of action. Hen the answer had been read P resent ed his argument, he scored the subcommit tee in the most caustic terms. w atson Charges Contempt -the time for the members of the -übcommittee to answer this order as respondents is gone,” he said. “Thev were served with the order of this court, they had the order read to it and consid e'e<? i 1 - then they deliberately violat ea it. They cannot come now as re spondents to answer it. If they come at all, they must come as defendants to show cause why they should not be adjudged guilty of contempt, they scorned the order of this court They spat upon it. They threw it on the floor, so to speak, and wiped their feet upon it. Their contempt tor the court was insolent and insult ing in the highest degree. It os too late, therefore, to answer the_order as respondents. hey made themselves defendants in a contempt proceeding by their contemptuous disregard of the order of the court.” Mr. Watson then produced an affi davit from Benjamin M. Blackburn, of Atlanta, who represented him at the meeting of the subcommittee in Atlanta last Tuesday, showing that the injunction was served personally on Judge Flynt, the chairman, and was read by Secretary Gardner to the entire subcommittee, and was dis cussed by the entire subcommittee, and was disregarded by them in their action declaring A. Mitchell Palmer the winner of the presidential pri mary. , auege Walker then passed an or der continuing the injunction in force until the next regular term of his coyrt in October. He issued no order citing the members of the sub committee for contempt. Mr. Wat son explained to the newspaper men, when questioned on this point, that he would press the contempt proceed ings after the convention. He called attention to the tact that the in junction applied to the entire state executive committee as well as to the subcommittee, and that the state committee had better becareful what action it took in Atlanta next Mon day, or else the whole committee would be in contempt. He said he was coming to the convention next Week, and predicted that it was go ing to be the liveliest political gath ering held in Georgia in many a day.

CmiSIRYIIK TO CUT WAY OUT OF REBELJTSTEEL RING Effort Begun to Fight Way to Safety as Enemy Closes In on Small Force of Fed erate EL PASO, Texas, May 14.—Sur render sometime today of President Carranza and his forces, said to be surrounded near Rinconada, Peubla, was predicted in a telegram from General Alvaro Obregon, former can didate for the presidency of Mexico, received today by Luis Montes de Oca, Mexican revolutionary “consul” at El Paso. REBELS APPEAR TO HOLD ADVANTAGE IN BATTLE WASHINGTON, May 14.—(8y the Associated Press.) —Mexican rebel forces apparently have won the first phase of the battle against troops still loyal to Presidept Carranza, which have been fighting a desperate battle north of San Marcos, state of Puebla, for the past four days. Ad vices from Vera Cruz indicate a break in the Carranza lines and an effort on the part of the president’s men to break through the rebel lines and march northward. The trouble still is continuing, and new rebel reinforcements are report ed to have reached the scene, / com ing up from the south. An international incident may be foreshadowed by the fact that W. A. Body, British consul for Vera Cruz, is in the camp of President Carran za. Advices give no details as to the reason for his presence there, t>ut it seems probable he accompa nied the president in his flight from Mexico City. British and American authorities in Vera Cruz have ar ranged for a Mexican naval lieuten ant (o go by special train to the bat tlefield to make an attempt to rescue the imperilled Englishman. French and British warships have made their appearance in the harbor of Vera Cruz, and fov.: American fighting vessels are at anchor there. Negotiations for the surrender of Matamoros, across the border from Brownsville, Tex., are under way and it is expected the Carranza forces there will surrender without fighting. CARRANZA REFUSES TO TREAT WITH ENEMY EL PASO, Tex.,' May 14.—Presi dent Carranza, reported hemmed in by rebel forces near Esperanza sta tion between Mexico City find Vera Cruz has refused to treat with the revolutionists, General -Obregon said today in a telegram received here. Obregon said guarantees of Carran za’s personal safety to Vera Cruz had been made. General Joaquin Amara has been ordered toward Zacatacas to com plete liaison with troops under Gen eral Estrada in keeping railroads open. Francisco Villa, sent to Torreon to head rebels was to undergo a sur gical operation reports here said. An old leg wound, suffered four years ago, was said to be causing" Villa trouble. CARRANZA TRYING TO CUT WAY TO SAFETY VERA CRUZ, May Is. (By the Associated Press.) —Rebel attacks against the position held by Presi dent Carranza near San Marcos, state of Puebla, have been successful at some points but the struggle still is going on. Two more trains remaining in possession of the president have been taken, according to advices, a detachment of his men is attempting to cut its way out toward the north and it is expected the main body pf. the Carranza troops will make an effort to follow. In the meantinie new rebel rein forcements are being rushed to the scene of the struggle, which extends ovr a front of approximately three miles. No farther news has been received from Mexico City as to the situation there. Tampico reports the Mexico City wireless station is being used only for transmission of official mes sages. During the past night noth ing was received by' the newspaper El Dictamen from its correspondent at the scene of the battle near San Marcos. W. A. Body, British vice consul for this city, is with President Car ranza, who is virtually surrounded by rebel forces north of San Marcos. Ef forts are being made by British and America nauthorities here to reach him. They have arranged, through Naval Commander Hiram Toledo, of the Mexican flotilla here, that Naval Lieutenant Ambrosio Hades will go on a special train to San Marcos, where he will make ah effort to get in touch with Carranza’s officers and bring out Mr. Body. X British and French warships made their appearance here today for the first time since the outbreak of the revolution, the vessels which arrived being the French cruiser Descartes and the British cruiser Glasgow. The number of American warships at an chor in the harbor was increased to four by the arrival of the protected cuiser Dolphin from Tampico. Plenty of Action But No Blaze ' S.—Fire trucks streaked through adkrened streets. One crashed through a parked flivver, but shrieked on. At Leon Kahn’s shoe tore they found the watchman had locked himself in and pulled the fire alarm for help. . MK REVELATIONS OIMMR POLI WE LIKELY David Lawrence Reveals Fact That Other 'Docu ments Bearing on Conflict May Be Made Public BY DAVID LAWRENCE (Copyright,* I'J2O, by The Atlanta Journal.) WASHINGTON, May 13.—Some thing more important than the mere refutation of Admiral Sims’ charges that the American navy did not do its proper share in the early stages of the war, something more than a controversy over war honors is be hind the revelations being made by Secretary Daniels with'the consent of President Wilson. The administration has long smarted under the criticism that it “pussy-footed” during the war, that it "slowed up” and that it hesitated to make big sacrifices either on lafid or sea in the hope that a “peace by negotiation” might shorten the war. Even as the president was endeavor ing to answer the final plea of the Germans for an armistice, he was being criticized by political orators on the ground that he went to make “a soft peace.” It will be remem bered that "unconditional surrender clubs” were organized to offset this supposed weakness of the president. Throughout it all Mi 4 . Wilson has maintained secrecy. Many people in the capital know, for instance, that he made that fighting speech aboard the battleship Pennsylvania before the assembled o£ficer& of the At lantic fleet. The White House was implored by newspaper men to per mit the publication of that address. It was contended that it would do a great deal toward enthusing the American people—but the president refused. It was evident, however, that the freedom, with which he had criticized the British navy was the fundamental reasom It was feared that publication of these remarks might mean dissension among the allied peoples and might give comfort to the enemy. More Answers to Criticism But there are dozens of documents just like the one Secretary Daniels has just made public which throw light on how America conducted the war. Congress has seen fit' to probe expenditures and given an impres sion that the government was ex travagant and wasteful. The administration has made no answer. But as the political cam paign approaches there will be many answers. Charges that fiioney was wastefully spent will be refuted by lifting the veil on the entire man agement of the wjar. It will be found, for instance, that the allies were in much more desperate straits than the wmrld generally knew. It will be disclosed that their appeals to the president were answered one after the other with a spirit that threw “prudence to the winds.” The perilous situation of the al lies influenced a good many hasty actions on the part of the American government which never would have been sanctioned in moments of calm deliberation. The controversy between the American and British navies con tinued for many months. The Sims episode is only one of a number. Again and again the two navies were arguing how the war’ should be fought. The British had appeared content to fight a defensive war on the seas. President Wilson ./as in sisting always on an offensive even though it meant concentrating the entire fleets of the allies and mak ing a raid and landing on the Ger man coast. The President’s »Idea The president’s idea of shorten ing the war was to combine the allied force into an overwhelming weapon. He advocated the same kind of tactics on land. He believed in Marshal Foch from the first. He didn’t hesitate to approve the re quest for the brigading of Ameri can troops with British or French, doing something in that connection incidentally which amazed the Eu ropean nations—for Mr. Wilson didn’t reveal any national sensi tiveness such as had troubled the British and French governments in handling their military men. There may be a good deal of po litical mud-slinging this year ' but of one thing the public can rest as sured. The administration isn’t go ing to allow the American war rec ord to be beclouded. Admiral Sims started something when he began his criticism of the navy depart ment. Practically all the admirals of the United States navy who were on the other side took issue with him. It is not a personal contro versy. It is really a difference be tween the American and the British way of going at the war. At this end, it was suspected that Admiral Sims became saturated with the British viewpoint. ’ Os course it has been charged, particularly by the friends of Irish freedom, that President Wilson was “thoroughly English,” and that he was constantly under British influ ence. The covenant of the League of Nations has been denounced as “Wilson-British.” It would not be surprising therefore if the adminis tration took the public into its con fidence on some of the troubles it had with the British during the war. The Army Side Os course, the British had trouble with, the French and so did the Americans. Allies never can har monize in war time. The selection of a generalissimo and the estab lishment of unity of command on land, as well as water, developed because of this friction. But little has been said about the land operations of the United States. There is much to be made public just as interesting as the messages that passed between the American and British navies. Gen eral Pershing could tell some inter esting stories about his troubles with the commanders of other armies. If Major General Wood becomes the nominee of the Republican party and any considerable part of the campaign is devoted to criticism of the way the administration conduct-* ed the war or to a criticism of the administration for not sending Gen eral Wood to France, the next series of .revelations can be expected. The Sims controversy has merely started something which the admin istration is belligerently taking ad vantage of to answer its critics.

TRAIN ROBBER IS SLAIN BY POLICE IN PITCHED BATTLE CHICAGO, May U.—Qno of the most daring train robberies in the middle west in recent years ended this morning in the death of a bandit who last night looted the marl car of the Illinois Central-New Or leans limited of currency estimated to total about SIOO,OOO. The money was recovered. One policeman, shot by the bandit, died later in a hospital, and another was wounded seriously. The bandit was identified as Hor ace Walton, aged thirty-two, of St. Joseph, Mo. He fell with four bul lets in his body after barricading himself in his apartment and fight ing with more than 100 police, in cluding several picked rifle squads. Walton boarded the train at Gil man, a few miles from Kankakee, last night, taking a seat in a Pull man A pouch containing a shipment of $105,000 from a Decatur bank was taken on the train at Gilman. As the flyer pulled out of Kanka kee Walton stepped into the mail car and announced that he was the postal inspector. He walked toward Elmer F. Harris, chief clerk, and his four assistants, then suddenly drew a pistol and commanded “hands up.” The clerks obeyed. Harris and three cf the clerks were ordered to lie on the floor. James E. Burke, another clerk, was forced to bind their hands behind them. Walton then tied Burke’s hands and set about in leis urely fashion sorting the mall pouches. Armed with the clerk’s key he picked out and rifled the bags which contained shipments of money, re marking “It’s easy when you have inside information.” He took a travel ing bag from one of the clerks and put the money into it. After filling tVie bag Walton kept up a running fire of banter with the clerks until the train reached Engle wood station, in South Chicago, shortly' before 1 a. m. There he leaped out. x Fifteen minutes latetr Policemen \v illiam A. Roberts and John Ken ydricks met Walton. Their suspicions we l e r, a T ol L sed a bag be carried and Roberts stepped forward to ques tion the man. Walton, with revolver in his pocket, fired through his coat Roberts fell, shot in the head and side. Walton leaped' into the area way of an apartment building, while Ken dricks dropped behind Roberts’ body and opened fire. After an exchange of shots the policeman dashed for ward and grappled with the man. Walton dropped the bag and fled. Police rifle squads, summoned by neighbors, located the man in an apartment house a half block away. They surrounded the building ana for more than an hour poured hun dreds' of bullets into Walton’s apart ment. He returned the fire steadily, using two guns, then suddenly stopped. Detective Chief Mooney led a dash on the room. Walton was found on the floor, dead, with four bullets in his body. A membership card issued by the St. Joseph (Mo.) Young Men’s Chris tian association, and a letter ad-’ dressed to Mrs. L. V. Walton, No. 523 North Seventh street, St. Joseph, were found Jn his pocket. Patrolman! Roberts was rushed to a hospital, where he died after a lew hours. He is survived by a widow and five children. Patrolman Thomas Serreter also was wounded, but prob ably not fatally. Walton had lived in the apartment where he was killed for several weeks, according to neighbors. A Postal inspector’s badge, a mail pouch key and an Illinois Central time table, printed in pencil on a card, were found on the body. > HOOVER BELIEVES IN OPEN SHOP, HE TELLSCOMMITTEE Opposes Injunction, Compul sory Arbitration, Industrial Courts, Recognizes Em ployes’ Right to Organize WASHINGTON, May 14.—“ The principle of individual freedom re quires the open shop,” Herbert Hoov- • er declared today in testifying be fore the senate labor committee at hearings on proposed legislation for the settlement of industrial unrest. Mr. Hoover, who was a member of President Wilson’s second industrial conference, said he did not. believe the relationship between employers ahd employes could be settled “by any form of legal repression, wheth er it be by injunction, compulsory arbitration or industrial courts.” “Fundamentally,” he declared, “all such effort leads inevitably to the use of jails as a solution for disputes as to respective participation of labor and capital in industrial profits, and proceeds swiftly toward compulsory jjabor, or compulsory wages, or mar tyrdom. "No one doubts that the modern consolidation of the employers over large units of employes gives every justification and right for the or ganization of the employes similarly into units for the exertion of equality in bargaining powers. Stich organi zation has a right to present its own representatives in bargaining. On the other hand, there should be no com pulsion to join such an organization. The principle of individual freedom requires the open shop.” Mr. Hoover heartily approved the plan of the second industrial confer ence for voluntary settlement of la bor throubles through co-operativa agreement. '■ Th6 only hope lies in moderate em ployers and moderate labor leaders, not in revolutionary steps or “ex tremist” leaders on either side, Mr. Hoover said. The Kansas industrial court law is practically a reproduction of the Australian labor acts, Mr. Hoover said. Discusses Kansas Law "I do not want to condemn the Kansas act m spite of the failure of the Australian acts to effect the results anticipated,” he continued. "The Kansas act is an experiment that, is worth trying on American soil? It may be possible to develop something worth while. My own opinion, however, is that the act can not succeed. In Australia the number of strikes and dislocations is as great as in other countries without them.” The Kansas law. Mr. Hoover said, would ultimately determine fair profits as well as establish a min imum wage. He added: “It in effect substitutes govern ment control of industry for com petition. No /evolutionary steps should be attempted and the whole problem should be advanced one step at a time.” Mr. Hoover said this country need have no fear of strikes being used for political ends and that labor leaders thus far have used them only in the interests of labor. Wider use of collective bargaining is the only step that should be taken at present, Mr. Hoover be lieves.

I P. 0 State > - V IIGHTIO FORMULA FOR COCA-COLA IS BOTTLERS’ CLAIM Amendment to Petition to Prevent Cancellation of Contract by Delaware Company Filed Friday Claiming an equitable right to the distinctive trademark, trade name and secret formula for Coca- Cola, in So far as the bottled drink is concerned, the Coca-Cola Bot tling company on \Friday filed in the Fulton superior court an amend ment to its previous petition to pre vent the cancellation of existing contracts between the Coca-Cola company of Delaware and the parent bottling corporation. The amendment constitutes the latest and most sensational phase of the litigation which anose as the result of the alleged attempt on the part o fthe newly-organized Coca Cola compony of Delaware to abro gate contracts made between Coca- Cola company of Georgia and the Coca-Cola Bottling company for the furnishing to the latter company of Coca-Cola syrup for bottling pur poses. The amendment was filed by the legal representatives of the Coca'- Cola Bottling company—the firms of King & Spalding; Rosser, Slaton Phillips & Hopkins; C. T. & John L. Hopkins; Brown, Spurlock & Brown and Williams & Lancaster. By this latest step the parent bottlers de mand that the formula' for the manufacture of bottled Coca-Cola syrup be turned over to them. The amended petition, which Is a most voluminous document, reaf firms the .basis of the original suit, setting forth the various legal grounds on which the Coca-Cola Bottling company seeks to prevent the cancellation of its contracts with the Coca-Cola company. It goes further, however, and recites in de tail the development of the bottling industry on the basis of these con tracts, declaring that millions of dollarg have been expended by the parent bottlers and the sub-bottlers and licensees for equipment, adver tising and various purposes intend ed to increase the sale of bottled Coca-Cola and develop the business to its fullest extent. It is asserted that the original contract with the Coca-Cola com pany of Georgia, which was assumed by the Coca-Cola company of Dela ware, conveyed and granted to the parent bottlers the title to the trade mark, trade name and label ex clusively as to the bottled drink within a specified territory. Further Contentions The bottlers further contend that the terms of this contract carry, J n consequence of the grants as the trade mark, trade name and label, the right to the syrup itself, whidh stood for the words “Coca-Cola.” “The words were a symbol of a par ticular syrup made in a particular way, consisting of particular ingre dients that were made and manufac tured by the Coca-Cola company of Georgia,” says the petition. “When the petitioner and its predecessors were granted and obtained the fee simple title to the use of the trade name trade mark and trade label of Coca-Cola, as to the bottled drink and within the territory described, they became the owners in fee in and to the syrup itself, or the right to make it, own ii or .possess it. This right has not been heretofore asserted be cause under the contract the syrup was to be made and furnished by the Coca-Cola company of Georgia to the petitioner and this, until recent ly, has been complied with.” Scents a copy. $1.50 A YP*B MUSGROVE MANAGER CONCEDES DEFEAT IN ALABAMA RACE W.

On the basis of these returns, Hef lin has won the 'mination to the short term senatorship, with a lead of 11,865 first and second choice votes er Captain Fra--’ White. Re turns from the two missing counties will t hange the result in this race. Former Governor O’Neal, wh) made his campaign on the light win e and beer issye, was a close third in the short term contest. Mr. Hooper’s statement in regard to alleged discrepancies in the re turns follows: "Senator Oscar W. Underwood has been nominated by the primary held on Tuesday, the 11th, by a majority of first and second-choice votes of not less than 10,000. This estimate is based upon a tabulation of official returns from more than a majority of the counties of the state, together with detailed reports from responsi ble sources—our chairmen in each of the counties. "Senator Underwood carried his cause to the Democrats of Alabama in a clear-cut, clean and open cam paign. The electorate of Alabama has passed its verdict upon the can didates and has nominated our senior senator to succeed himself. Senator Underwood and his friends hear with no degree of toleration reports of the efforts of Mr. Musgrove and his lieutenants to cast any doubt upon the expression of the will of the ma jority of the Democrats of the state. If it is the*desire of Mr. Musgrove and his advisers to make any con test over any box in any precinct,* they will find Senator Underwood's friends welcoming the chance for the light to be turned on the recent pri- < mary. “Senator Underwood’s friends in the state may be assured that clean ballots untainted by money and un stained by vicious falsehoods have nominated him by a handsome vote.” BOWLING DEFEATS SIX; TYSON WINS OVER DENT MONTGOMERY, Ala., May 14.—W.
