6 SIO,OOO WAS SENT TO GEORGIA, WHERE CONTEST WAS MADE (Continued from Page 1) known. That has been my principal work.” Mr. Hitchcock said he had “some thing to do” with some of the south ern contests. “As a general thing, I didn’t fa vor contesting in the favorite son states," he added. Chairman Kenyon, inquiring re garding the southern contests, asked if any had been "set up.” Principal Contest In Georgia “I've never ‘set up’ a contesting delegation,” said the witness, adding that the North Carolina contest de veloped before he entered the cam paign. The principal contest, he eaid, is from Georgia, where the #tate chairman, Roscoe Pickett, is making a contest. Pickett, he said, is one of the Wood leaders. "The Wood people have not made any other contest in the south,” said Mr. Hitchcock, declaring that local contests between Republican fac tions favoring or opposing certain candidates had developed. Asked regarding Alabama, Mr. Hifchcock said that so far as he knew the total sent there either from Washington or New York, was SI,OOO to DeLos B. Smith. Senator Moses, he said, had more data regarding southern expendi tures. The total sent to Georgia was $lO,- 000. Mr. Hitchcock said. This was in two installments of $5,000. The reason for this, he said, was be cause the "opposition” was reported spending large sums. Lincoln John son. he said, was the opposition leader and represented the nbgro ele ment. Campaigns’in Florida, Georgia and Virginia, were finished before ne en tered the campaign. Mr. Hitchcock said. Pressed regarding the organization of southern contests, Mr. Hitchcock declared he wanted to qualify pre vious testimony, and said: "The so-called Wood delegatlion in Mississippi is not in my judg merrf a legally elected delegation and I have had nothing to do with It.” Son of Billy Sunday “A young man by the name of Sunday. Billy Sunday’s son, I be lieve." Mr. Hitchcock said, "is tak ing charge of "Wood publicity in Chi cago.” “The Chicago headquarters hai done some fairly extensive adver tising,” he added, "but I have no details of that.” In New York a finance committee of eighty took charge of efforts to raise a fund, the witness said. “Who is at the head b fit?” asked Senator Reed. “A lawyer. Mr. Freeman, at 120 Broadway," was the reply. "Mr. John Iselin is treasurer. I don’t know many of the other members.” Chairman Kenyon asked as to gen eral allotments of money and the witness replied that Senator Moses Representative Gould of New York, and Thomas C. Miller had controlled its disposition. Dr. Ralph J. Hersey, manager for Senator Sutherland, of West Vir ginia, read a statement showing that $473 had been contributed for Sen ator Sutherland and that expenses of $3,500 had been incurred for the primary election to be held in West Virginia Tuesday. “Can you tell us about other cam paign expenditures in your state,” Chairman Kenyon asked. "Yes, sir,” Dr. Hersey replied. “A statement was filed in behalf of General Wood, showing expendi tures of $3,700.” Other contributions listed by Mr. McSween included $5,000 by Mayor Couzens, of Detroit; $5,J00 by J. L. Calvary, of Pittsburg; $2,000 by Ralph' J. Bullowa "and friends” of For More Than Forty Years Cotton Growers have known that POTASH PAYS ■■■■uzßaraEaiinKMM More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts had been imported and used in the United States in the 20 years previous to January, 1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,- • 700 Tons consisted of KAINIT which the cotton grower knew was both a plant food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with it came also 1,312,400 Tons of 20 per cent MANURE SALT which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was used mainly in mixed fertilizers. Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and high freight rates make it more desirable to ship Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash. MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure ‘ Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161 pounds of Kainit. MANURE SALT has been coming forward in considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can not secure Kainit, should make an effort to get Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big Cotton Crop. Muriate of Potash 50 per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward also, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400 pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt. These are the three Standard GERMAN Potash Salts that were always used in making cotton fertilizers and have been used for all these years with great profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE CROP. The supply is not at present as large as in former years, but there is enough to greatly increase the Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the necessary effort to get it for you.

CARRANZA’S BODY IS TAKEN TO DAUGHTERS BY FAITHFUL GUARD (Continued from Page 1) Herrera had been dissatisfied, he said. When the party went into camp these men carefully reared the hut in which the president slept. They even marked the bed, which was in a corner. At 4 a. m. Friday the traitors at tacked firing cross-wise through the thin walls of the hut so their bullets would be sure to strike their sleep ing chief. More than 30 shots were fired. Six of them struck Carranza. One bul let pierced his thigh, another his left hand, a third his chest, a fourth his right lung and a fifth his right leg and a sixth again throuh his chest, Amador said. The bullet in the right lung was the immediate cause of death, the gen eral said. Carranza expired about 10 minutes after the shooting began. He was unconscious and gasping when his loyal followers reached the hut. He was unable to speak. Eight other men were killed in the fighting which followed the presi dent’s slaying, Amador said. The dead included four members of the presidential guard, two of Murguia’s guard and two minor officials. MEXICO CITY, May 22.—(8y the Associated Press.) —The body of Venustiano Carranza is due to arrive in Mexico City some time this eve ning. The six other victims of the attack in the early morning of May 20 have been buried at the scene of battle. Permission has been granted rela tives of the late president for the private interment of his body. These include his daughters, Julia and Vir ginia, wife of General Candido Aguilar. There still is uncertainty regard ing the names of Carranza’s com panions who were killed. It is be lieved. however, that they were Gen eral Francisco Murguia, General Francisco Urquizo, under secretary of war and marine; Luis Cabrera, governor of Puebla; Manuel Aguirre Berlanga, secretary of the interior, and General Pilar Sanchez. After a conference today between Generals Obregon and Pablo Gon zales, a commission was named to proceed to the scene of Carranza’s death to investigate and report. Gen eral Ob.egon named Attorney Roque Estrada and Commodore Hilaro Rod riguez Malpica. Gonzales named Attorney Aquiles Elorduy and General Fortunato Zuazua. The permanent commission of the national congress met this morning to choose a provisional president, claiming constitutional privilege. A conflict is possible, as other members of the congress, recognizing the Agua Prieta plan, think they should have the right to choose a provislon al president. New York, and SI,OOO by J. S.

Johnson’s Total $63,130 Agnus McSween, eastern manager for Senator Johnson, of California, told the committee that the total of contributions received for the sena tor’s campaign was $68,130.

COTTON NEW YOKE, May 24.—The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 20 to 43 points on a bullish private crop report and covering after the sharp declines of last week. July was relatively firm, selling at 38c, or 45 points above Saturday’s closing, while October advanced to 35c, or 33 points net higher. There was continued nervous ness over unsettled outside conditions, how ever and the advance met renewed liquida tion, with the market becoming very irreg ular after the call. July, soon eased off to 37.60 c and October to 34.78 c. It was rumored that a southern authority estimated the condition of the crop at 64 and the in ’dicated yield at only $1 200,000. The forecast of dry weather for the greater part of the belt and an unfavorable view of outside conditions stimulated fresh selling, under which the market was sent 24 to 30 points under Saturday’s close. Eate in the morning the market had a somewhat better tone, standing 8 up to 5 points down net. While there was no particular change in the general character of the news, the mar ket was steadier during the middle of the afternoon, with prices showing rallies of about 25 to 40 points from the lowest. Busi ness was quiet, with July selling around 47.55 c and October 34.65 c, or about net un changed.

The favorable weather over the belt brpught in selling enough to cause a reaction which put the market 2 to 3 points under Saturday’s final' prices. The storm warning, due to the dis turbance in the tropics, brought in enough buying to put the market higher again, and at the end of the first hour of trading prices were 1 to 7 points higher than the closing quotations of Saturday. July traded as high as 37.72 c and as low as 37.1 c. Claims of another tangle in German politics caused heavy selling, and late in the session prices were at new low levels for the day. October trading at 34.14 c and the active months showing net declines of 30 to 4b points.

If this happens now we believe that lower prices are inevitable, inspite of all the strenuous efforts of the bulls to prevent a decline. Chapin & Co.: It would be better to wait until after the government’s first crop report of the season, due June 2d, on the May 25th condition, is out of the way or some good rallies occur, before selling the distant months again. Hubbard Bros. Co.: In view of the rrop situation our market will be reluctant to decline and will recover rather easily from lower prices brought about by outside conditions. Newman Bros.: Cotton will have to de cline with other commodities and bear its part of the burden. • Moss & Furgison: With all the uncertain ties which surround the market at the pres ent moment it does not seem prudent to b»- too much of an extremist on either side, but after such a violent break as we have had we should get a substantial reaction. J. S. Bache: We believe that eventually cotton will sell upon a very much higher level than any price that has heretofore been established on our exchange.

Office of field agent, Atlanta, Ga. Another week has passed without a fur row being run. There were heavy rains throughout the state on the 12th, 13th and 14th, and again on the 19tn and 20th, with cool east winds which not only retarded the growth of crops but causing cotton to die, corn turn yellow, seed rot in the ground, rust to show up more on wheat and doing material damage to fruit and all growing crops. Hail was reported as doing considerable damage to peaches in several sections and especially in the Fourth dis trict, where it stripped the young cotton of all leaves. Grass and weeds seem to be taking the crop in the lower central and southern part of the state. The labor situ ation seems to get worse. Indications are that a huge per cent of farm land will lay idle this year. Much progress was made in planting during the two pretty days first of last week, though reports from tiie north ern third of the state show that less than one-third of the cotton was planted and practically no corn or other lood crops. The boll weevil has showed up in abundance in many of the south Georgia counties. The farmers generally are very blue and dis couraged over labor, boll weevil and weather' conditions. The growth of corn js reported <is very slow. It is turning yellow and being de stroyed by bud worms in the lowlands, caus ing much replanting to bo necessary. The weather has not at all been favorable for cotton. Stands poor, germination slow, seed rotting in the ground, and cotton dying in all sections, and much being :ilowed up and planted to peanuts, peas and other crops. Peanuts are reported as doing fairly well in the southern part of the state, though poor stands and very grassy. So far tiie planting of this crop has only readied about half way up the state. The sugar cane crop is reported very good in the south eastern part of the state, fairly good in the southern, and with poor stands and be Ing drowned out in the southwestern por tion. The weather has been very unfavorable to the melon crop. The vines are small, stands poor and late. Hot sunshine is much needed for this crop. Velvet beans are reported as looking very nice in the southern sec tions. Tobacco is reported as doing fine in the Seventh and Eighth districts. The wheat crop seems to have suffered from too much rain and rust. The oat crop is now being harvested in the lower part of the state. Some damage to the shocks from heavy winds and rains. Indications are that a good crop of hay will be planted. Clover is reported as looking well. , Peaches are reported falling off very badly from every district and some little uneasi ness is being felt regarding the crop. Ap ples seem to be in fair shape. Spraying of the trees seems to fee the order of the day and the indications arc that there will be a good crop. Pastures are generally looking well. Live stock looking very good. Some diseases be ing reported among cattle. Cholera has been somewhat checked among the hogs, though a good many have been reported as dying in the southeastern section. EFFECT OF RESOLUTION ON PEACE DISCUSSED BY WM. H. TAFT (Continued from Page 1) This legislative method of making an agreement with another nation has had sufficient precedents to neg ative the claim that the constitution in conferring the treaty-making pow er of the United States upon the president and the senate, Is entirely exclusive. On the other hand, ’.he method of agreement by statute is limited, as the legislative power of congress is limited. One congress cannot bind another. Therefore, con gress could not by joint resolution effectively promise to another nation to do something in the future and bind the United States which another congress might not legally and hon orably withdraw from. Whereas, the treaty-making power has that func tion fully developed, and though a subsequent congress may repeal the treaty as municipal law, it does not end the obligation of the United States in international law, but only breaks the treaty. With this dis tinction in mind between the two modes of making agreements, it is clear that where the agreement only affects the present, as, for example, changes the state of war into a state of peace, it is within the power of the congress of the United States and the legislative power of another government effectively to declare peace by co-ordinating statutes. Peace then becomes fait accompli. A subsequent congress could not change that except by a new dec laration of war. If, therefore, this joint resolution of congress, in so far as it declares peace, were fol lowed by a declaration of peace at the same time by the German gov ernment, the status of war would be ended as an international fact, with all the legal consequences in interna tional law that follow from such a change of status. Awkward Procedure Second The text writers and prece dents justify the conclusion that an agreement for permanent peace changing the status from war to peace may be inferred from the ces sation of hostilities and from a long continued acquiescence of the parties in an actual state of peace. In the present case hostilities ceased upon the making of J an armistice by the president as commander-in-chief that by its terms looked forward to a permanent status of peace created by a treaty. And most of the nations havv concluded such a treaty. We have not. But we have not commun icated to Germany our refusal to agree to the peace treaty which the other asociate nations have ratified. The actual suspension of hostilities, therefore, under the armistice it is difficult to construe to be a perma-, nent peace by acquescence. Such a resolution of congress as that we are considering, which declares peace, would, however, even without a sim ilar joint resolution by Germany, if the deadlock were long to continue and trade relations were established, without any resumption of hostili ties, be evidence of general acquies cence. From these propositions it follows that such a resolution as either the one which passed the house or the one which passed the senate, or the one agreed upon in conference of a similar tenor, would, if Germany en acted similar legislation, make peace. But it is a very awkward way of formulating terms of peace. Indeed, the resolutions as prepared in the two houses, while differing some what, were careful to negative any possible waiver of rights of the United States growing out of this declaration of peace and are an ef fort to preserve permanently what is secured to the United States by the armistice, to which it was a par ty only, through the signature of our commander-in-chief, and also to se cure ci benefits of the treaty Versailles without assuming, its ob ligations. This it would be very dif ficult to do, and the joint declaration of peace by the two countries would leave open a fruitful opportunity for disagreement, much to be depre cated. To such a peace and its con sequences authorities of internation al law attach the doctrine of uti possditis, which means that each party to the peace retains whAt is hi his possession. The parties are left in the bed in which they were lying at the time of peace. One need hardly say that this would be an un satisfactory settlement and would need a subsequent treaty between the parties properly 1 to fix their mutual rights. Domestic Eliect Third. The domestic effect of such a declaration as this by con gress is more easily stated. All the war statutes conferring exceptional powers upon the president or exer cising congressional legislative au thority wholly dependent on the ex istence of war, and limited by terms to a period having a relation to the end of the war, would cease. The resolution dispenses with the neces sity for any further formal declara tion, though such a declaration was required in the acts themselves. Thus the arbitrary powers which have been used to accomplish peace purposes would end and a growing source of irritation to the public would be re moved. The president intends to veto the resolution on the ground that it is an unconstitutional ousting of him and the senate from the treaty-mak ing power, and is an encroachment on a function of government intrust ed to them. The Democrats ar.e in sufficient number in each house to sustain the veto, and therefore the resolution will not pass. The Re publicans are charged with playing politics therefore in pressing the res olution and sending it up to the president to be vetoed. In view of the fact that the president refuses to compose his differences with the senate over the treaty, and thus ob structs the performance of the func tion of the treaty-making branch of the government, the Republicans would seem to be justified in show ing his unreasonableness by seeking to make peace in another way. They thus compel him to assume sole power of initiating peace and render more acute his responsibility for putting the treaty through by rea sonable concession to the judgment of the senate, his co-ordinate asso ciate in making of the treaty. In any event, as the situation now is, even if the resolution were to pass, a subsequent treaty should be made. There is nothing in this resolution inconsistent with subsequent action by a Republican president in sub mitting the treaty to the senate and its ratification with the Lodge res ervations by a majority of the Re publican senators and the Democrats, who, freed from President Wilson’s control, would vote for it. Thus we could, after a long delay, take our place, as we should take it, with the others nations of the world around the council table of the league. Peruvian Poet Faces Death m Guatemala SAN FRANCISCO, Cal. —A very pretty young woman wandered from her room in a downtown hotel early on a recent morning, passed out into the street and into the lobby of another hotel, a block and a half away. Ordinarily this would have been unimportant, but this woman wore no clothes. The clerk at the second hotel protested. "That’s all right,” she replied. “I’m Truth, and Truth should be un adorned.” The clerk couldn’t see it that way. He telephoned the steward at the Central Emergency hospital. This official came, to the rescue with a blanket. “Truth" fought efforts to blanket her, saying it was a sin to conceal Truth, but both the hotel clerk and the hospital official were firm. The girl is under observation, less intense, of course, but more official than usual. “Truth” was the only name she gave.

M’COMBS OPPOSES LEAGUE AS ISSUE IN 1920 CAMPAIGN NEW YORK, May 24.—1 n an in terview in which he discusses the candidates and the issues, William F. McCombs, former chairman of the National Democratic committee, who managed President Wilson's first campaign, declares that' the League of Nationse should not be injected Into the forthcoming campaign as an issue. "It should never have been a partisan issue," said Mr McCombs. “The place to settle that question is tn Washington by co-operation be tween the president and the United States senate in solemn considera tion. I may add, however, that as a matter of fact, in the course of my travels in connection with my professional activities, which have taken me to distant parts of the country during the past six months, the people who talk about it at all are either overwhelmingly against It or for very strong reservations. There are other matters for the San Francisco convention which over top the League of Nations.” In reference to candidates, Mr. McCombs looks upon Governor Cox, of Ohio, with favor, declaring him a business man of great ability and an executive of large experience. Gov ernor Cox can carry his own state of Ohio and he is the only Democrat who can in the opinion of Mr. Mc- Combs. Os the other candidates, Mr. Mc- Combs declares that Mr. McAdoo would necessarily carry into the campaign the handicap of the "Crown Prince” idea; that Mr. Palmer would also carry the handicaps of the pres ent administration and that in addi tion his candidacy has produced no. considerable reaction. Os Governor Edwards. Mr. Mc- Combs says: "Primarily, he is a business man and has come to the top of a large banking institution through his own efforts. His candi dacy attracts many people of sound business judgment and he looms large in many quarters. Girl Escapes From Hospital to Marry Man of Her Choice HARTFORD, Conn. —Following an elopement after the bride had escaped from her sick bed in a hos pital, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Everett Hall were found recently at the home of the bridegroom’s parents, in Ni antic, Conn., a few miles west of New London. The elopement was the sequel of a wartime romance begun when Miss Eleanor Higgins, of No. 56 Sargeant street, this city,,daughter of Captain Robert B. Higgins. United States navy, was a yeomanette and Hall, a trolley car conductor, was a soldier. During the war the couple became engaged. After her discharge from the service Miss Higgins vainly tried to obtain her parents’ consent to her marriage, and finally became se riously ill. At the Hartford hospital it was said she was suffering from nervous exhaustion and worry. She had been there about six weeks. She escaped from the hospital early in the morning and met Hall, and together they went to the Municipal building and obtained a marriage license. Then they visited the home of the Rev. F. F. Voorhees, who called in a neighbor as a witness and married them. The first positive news of the marriage was received by Captftin Higgins when his daugh ter telephoned him from the Hall home in Niantic. Captain Higgins said tonight he had given the elopers his parental blessing and that his sole objection to his daughter’s marriage was based on the opinion of several physicians who had advised against it, especial ly because she was seriously ill of influenza in October, 1918, and again in February, 1919, leaving her men tally and physically exhausted. | Classified Advertisements WANTED HELF—Mais.

C. 1 INSANE MOTHER SLASHES THROATS OF FOUR CHILDREN I CUTHBERT, Ga., May 24.—Cuth bert spent one of the saddest of Sundays as a result of a shocking tragedy enacted by one of her well known young women, Mrs. W. Hamp Ward, who, while suffering from a weakened body of several months and in a moment of temporary aberration, with razor in hand, cut her own four-year-old daughter’s throat from ear to ear, producing al most instant death, severely cut one of her eight-year-old twin daugh ters and cut slightly the other twin daughter, and still another, sparing only the fifth, a small baby m the cradle, and then slashing her own throat with the terrible instrument of death and destruction. There is some slight hope for the seepnd daughter so badly cut. The mother is not expected to die. It all occurred early morn ing while members of the family were sleeping. When she began her deadly struggle with her children, under the impression that she was killing snakes, they were running pell mell over the house. The hus band and the father-in-law with the greatest of difficulty were enabled to hold her and get the razor from her hands. Notwithstanding the fact that she was weakened in body, she showed superhuman strength. Neighbors, attracted by screams of the children, hurried to the home and rendered all possible assistance to the children. The deed prostrated the husband and father and the fath er-in-law and mother-in-law, who lived in the home. The little negro nurse, who was assisting in cooking breakfast, had the presence of mind to go and get the small baby from the cradle, else this one would have perhaps scared the same fate. The town is in the greatest gloom over the sad and shocking tragedy. Mr. Ward is a blacksmith, highly esteemed in the community. AUTO TIRES g&A 35% to 50% Saving Each tire carries a guarantee.
