The passenger en gine, pulling a mail car and three coaches, met the freight engine head on in a cut a mile and a half from Piedmont and sixty miles south of Atlanta. The freight train was made up of ten cars. Both engines were hurled from the track by the crash, the forward end of the mail car was telescoped but none of the passenger < coaches or freight cars left the rails. Engineer Kinney and Fireman Adams were buried beneath the passenger locomo tive and were dead when their bodies were recovered. Freight Engineer Hesterley was severely scalded and succumbed to his injuries shortly before reaching a Macon hospital on a Central of Geor gia train. ,While several passengers were re ported badly shaken up none was injured seriously enough to require medical attention. Engineer Kinney was forty-five years old. He leaves a widow and three children, Misses Lois Kinney, Eula May Kinney and Clayton Kin ney.

Cummings, chairman of the national commit tee, today. Mr. Cummings’ telegram stated that he has called a meeting of the entire national committee for that date to confer with the governor. Governor Cox stated, however, that he was not definitely certain whether the conference will be held here or in Columbus, as in a pre vious telephone conversation with Chairma.fi Cummings, the latter had indicated |he conference would* be held in Solumbus. Governor Cox is of the however, that the in formation contained In the telegram supersedes that conveyed in the telephone communication. The proposed conference with the entire committee is understood by the governor to mean that there will be no subcommittee here for a pre vious conference and that everything intended to have been considered by the subcommittee will be handled by I the full committee in addition to many 'things that the subcommittee could not arrange. Plans for the notification probably will be definite ly arranged at the conference. Cummings’ Telegram Mr. Cummings’ telegram notifying the governor of the proposed confer ence follows: \ “After consultation with Moore (E. H. Moore, national committeeman for Ohio and manager of the go ver-’ nor’s pre-convention campaign) and others, have called a meeting of the Democratic national committee to assemble at the Hotel Miami, Dayton, at 11 o'clock in the forenoon of Tuesday, July 20. This will en able us to proceed in a body to Trail’s End if this accords with your wishes. A few of the com mittee will probably arrive in town the day before. I expect to follow that course as there are various mat ters I would like to have an oppor tunity to take up with you person ally. Please let me know whether this is in accordance with your wishes or whether you have any modifications to suggest.” Governor Cox indicated that the arrangements were perfectly satis factory to him and that he would so advise Chairman Cthnmings. Governor Cox has given no inti mation as to whom he wants for campaign manager. It is known, however, that many of his friends are urging the selection of E. H. Moore, of Youngstown, Ohio, the governor’s pre-convention campaign manager, whom the nominee is khown to give much ofthe credit for the final action of the San Fran cisco convention. Whether Mr. Moore would accept the position, or like Harry M. Daugherty, Senator Harding’s preconvention manager step aside for some other person, may not be known until his return from San Francisco. v Inasmuch as Ohio is to be the chief battleground in the- campaign both candidates being from that state, some of the governor’s friends say it is imperative, that a manager be chosen who is thoroughly ac quainted with political conditions in the state. They admit that Homer S. Cummings, chairman qf the na tional committee, and who is being urged in some quarters for the posi tion, would be a good man for the job, but because of the expected bat tle in the Buckeye state they feel Mr. Moore is the logical man 'to manage the campaign. Whether Governor Cox has discuss ed the question of selection of a man- 1 ager with any of the leaders is not known. This" is expected to be one of the questions considered at the (Continued on Page 7, Column 5) GERMANY YIELDS ID ALLIED TERMS OF DISARMAMENT Envoys, After Communicat ing With Berlin Authorities, Refuse to Agree to Occu pation of’Ruhr Zone SPA, Belgium, July 9. — (By the As sociated Press.)—Germany € dele gates signed this morning an engage ment accepting the terms of the al lied note relative to disarmament presented yesterday. This action was taken under protest by the German representatives. The allied note, which amounted virtually to an jjJAffmatum, demanded that the Germans accept the terms presented by ‘noon today, and stipu-. lated that, in the event of the Ger mans failing to carry out the pro visions of the demands, allied forces would occupy parts of the German empire. The Germans protested, in signing the engagement, that the tf-eaty of Versailles did not oblige them to ac quiesce in further territorial occupa tions except for failure to fulfill the treaty terms regarding reparations. The decision of the German cabi net to obey the allied demand was reached at an early morning session today, the vote being unanimous. The vote was taken after a telephonic communication with reichstag lead ers in Berlin approving the accept ance and communicating the desire of the reichstag and party leaders for the cabinet at Spa to use its own judgment. Object to Occupation A unanimous decision also, was taken by the cabinet that the allies should be informed that Germany could not accept these stipulations concerning possible occupation of the Ruhr and other territories, provided the disarmament was not executed according to the allies’ judgment. It was held the German cabinet was precluded by constitutional reasons from entering into any such arrange ment without the authority of par liament. Hence, the allies were re quested to strike this paragraph from their demand, it being said that otherwise the Germans might not be able to continue the conference. The protest made by the Germans in signing the engagement was sub mitted in writing. In it the dele gates denied authority to consent to occupation of German territory ex cept as provided for in the treaty of Versailles. The final decision of the alies .sets forth that Germany must: First—lmmediately disarm certain of Its forces, including the security police. Second—Publish a proclamation asking for the" immediate surrender of all weapons and firearms in the hands of the civilian population. Third—Abolish immediately com pulsory service. Fourth—Surrender to the allies all arms, guns and cannon which it possesses above the limit fixed by the treaty of Versailles. The allied decision concerning dis armament reads: a" “If on October 1 the German army is not reduced to 150,000, the allies will proceed to occupy German terri tory in the Ruhr or any other part of German territory and will not evacuate it until all the conditions of the present agreement have been ful filled.” Germans Look Grim Chancellor Fehrenbach, Dr. Simons, the foreign minister, and Herr Gess ler, minister of defense, left the con ference in an agitated state. They looked grim when they arrived at German headquarters in a little notel in the pine woods. Th§ chancellor im mediately called a meeting of the German cabinet, the members of which have been arriving at Spa onA by one until only two now remain in Berlin—Herr Koch, interior, and Herr’ Raumer, treasury. General von Seecht, chief of staff, took part in the conference. ' Telegraphic communication was opened with Berlin and the sub stance of the allied decision com municated to the foreign office, with instructions to have Ministers Koch and Raumer call together some of the leading personalities in German pub lic life and consider the allies’ de mands, and later inform the Germau cabinet here on their point of v1 e w., Japan Worried by U.

The prices have ranged from about S4OO to SSOO per car, most of the melons being sold on the track. The growers are all rushing to sell as soon as possible, fearing a possible embargo that may arise from a shortage of cars. Every effort is being made to obtain as many cars as possible, and the inter state commerce commission has promised to order all roads to fur nish aS many 1 cars as can be ob tained for the use of the melon crop. The crop is'a week or more late, but the melons are in fine codition. If the market does notzbreak the growers will make good money, but there are rumors that a break is possible.

COMMITTEE OF SENATE TO PROBE EXPRESS MERGER 11 ■— - ■ ■ ■ The proposed merger of the South ern Express company with the Amer ican Express company, final authori ty to complete l which will be asked of the interstate commerce commis sion in a hearing beginning at Wash ington Monday, will be investigated by the railroad committee of the Georgia senate with a view to pro tecting the Interests of Georgians, who have claims against the South ern Express company. A resolution to this effect was in troduced in the senate Friday by Senator Fowler, of the Twenty-sec ond, who asked unanimous consent to place it on its passage at once on the ground that, with the senate adjourning until Monday, delay would mean that 'the investigation could not start until the Washington hearing is under way. Senator Fowler’s resolution de clared that the merger means the re moval of the Southern Express com pany’s offices outside the confines of Georgia, that there are many claims pending against the company, and that, under the merger, it will have no property in Georgia to serve as security against collection claims. His resolution gives the railroad committee authority to call on the Georgia railroad commission for any information, data or records wanted, and to take testimony and summon witnesses. Under the resolution the committee will report its findings back tothe senate, which may then take such action as it sees fit to guard citizens of the state against possible loss. > The resolution was passed unani mously. Adjourn Until Monday Before adjourning at 11 o’clock until Monday morning, the senate passed a number of bills, chiefly house bills of local interest, includ ing two measures by the Fulton county delegation raising salaries of Atlanta’s city and criminal court judges to $7,500 a year. The principal bill of general in terest passed was that by Senator Bowden, of the Fifth, providing that no court shall inquire into the sale of ice, newspapers, soft drinks and gasoline on Sunday except under grand jury indictment. The bill pro vides that this shall not apply to present regulations of any munici palities. The bill, it is understood, was inspired by a controversy- in Waycross, in Senator Bowden’s dis trict, in which a local organization tried to stop Sunday sales of news papers, ice and the like. Among the important bills intro duced in the senate Friday were a bill by Senator Reynolds, of the Fif tieth, allowing women and girls to enter the academic department of the University of Georgia, and a bill by Senator Ennis, of the Twentieth, which will repeal an old law gov erning the admission of students to I the Georgia Normal and Industrial I Institute at Milledgeville, so that the ! schoo’s authorities will be able to regulate this matter themselves. Bills Passed The following bills were passed in the senate Friday: By Senator Ayers of the Thirty third—To amend the act incorporat ing the city of Commerce. By Senator Rabun of the Ninth— To make the town of Morgan eligi ble as a site for.g state depositary. By Senator Bowden of the Fisth — To amend the act creating a bond commission for Ware county.

FATE ENCOURAGES LIGHT WINES AND BEER ADVOCATES (The Atlanta Journal News. Bureau, 623 Riggs Building.) BY THEODORE TILLBB WASHINGTON, July 9.—While the heart of William Jennings Bryan is ”in the grave” because of his defeat on the prohibition and the League of Nations planks at San Francisco, it appears here that fate, political and otherwise, is playing into the hands of the “wets” in the constituency of the house committee on judiciary, which handles prohibition legislation. The house committee, long headed by that consistent “dry,” Judge E. Yates, Webb, of North Carolina, who was< succeeded by the dry, Andrew J. Volstead, of Minnesota, will have three ■ “Wet” members in ranking position, if the Republicans retain control of the next house. With such line-up it looks distinctly more favorable for “light wines and beers” measures, which are certain to be dropped into the house hopper. Representative Volstead, chairman of the judiciary committee, has been defeated for renomination. He is the author of the existing drastic pro hibition law. The ranking Republi can on the committee was Represen tative Dick T. Morgan, of Oklahoma, who would have succeeded to the chairmanship hid he lived. Repre sentative Morgan has died within the week. This means that members fur ther down the committee list will be moved up and if ,the Republicans re tain the next house, the seniority rule will give the three positions of greatest influence to "wets,” Repre sentative George S .Graham, of Penn sylvania; Representative Leonidas C. Dyer, of Missouri, and Representa tive Joseph Walsh, of Massachusetts. Representative Thomas, of Ken tucky, is the ranking Democrat, and is “dry” in his votes, if not In his views. However, members of con gress not infrequently vote one way and think another. Defeat and death, therefore, have paved the way for a decided change in the house committee and the ele vation of Messrs. Graham, Dyer and Walsh. “Light wines and beers” legisla tion will have much more chance with these three men at the head of the house committee than with a committee headed J)y either Volstead or the late Representative Morgan. Should such a /liberalization move ment gain any headway in congress, the prospetcive shift also means that the conferees on the part of the house on liquor legislation will be wets. Ranking Democrats on the house comihittee are Representatives Thom as, of Kentucky, a “dry;” Repre sentative Igoe, of Missouri, a “wet,” and Representative Gard, of Ohio, a “wet.” The use of the word "wet” in this instance means a liberaliza tion of the existing law and not as “wet as the Atlantic,” as Governor Edwards would say. The Republican ranking members give promise of sticking in their present places. Representative Thom as, Democrat, is also likely to be re turned and would be chairman should the Democrats regain possession of the housel Representatives Igoe and Gard intend to retire from congress, and until the new committee is made up after next March, it is difficult to forecast the entire personnel. Nevertheless, the defeat of Mr. VilsteacTand the death of Mr. Morgan leave the judiciary committee top heavy with “wets’ 'in event of a Republican victory. Should Gov ernor Cox, a “wet” Democrat, be elected president and congress re main Republican notwithstanding, the prospect for a liberalization of the Volstead law would be increased. The situation on the whole makes for comment and speculation and may play its part i nthe coming cam paign. ___ U. S. to Be Represented At Brussels Conference WASHINGTON, July 9.

MWm ' Lil They’re here. The season for election bets is on, and the first victim on record is George Randolph, garage man, of San Francisco. Not that we envy Sam Cerf, who won. Sam bet Randolph that Hiram Johnson would win the California state nomination for presi dent by 150,000 votes, the Joser to wheel the winner from way up town down through the business center in a wheelbarrow. Johnson won by over 160,000, and Cerf got the ride. He looks like the Irishman who was being ridden on a rail, and who said that if it wasn’t for the honor of the thing he’d rather walk.

LOUIS, July 9.—Delegates to the Missouri Democratic state con vention, which helped oust Senator Reed from his national convention seat, were supplied with expense money by two antagonistic factions one lavorable to Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer and th® oth«“" to Governor Cox, according .to witnesses today before the senate committee in vestigating campaign expanse* Checks signed by Eflwarfl F. Goltra, Democratic national com mitteeman from Missouri, were given to delegates to pay their expenses to the Democratic state con vention at Joplin, accordihg to testi mony given today by members of the St. Louis Democratic committee be fore the Senate committee investi gating presidential campaign expen-. ditures. Goltra, who was supporting the candidacy of Attorney General Palmer, was active in the fight of Senator Reed, when the latter, after being rejected by the state conven tion, as a delegate from the Fifth district to the national convention, sought -to obtain his seat at San Francisco. ( Senator Reed is a member of the investigating conimitee, which in cludes Senator .Kenyon, as chairman, and Senator Spencer, of Missouri. A nation-wide primary law drawn to end large campaign expenditures will be recommended by the senate committee investigating presidential primary campaign expenses. Chair man W. S. Kenyon Intimated. The backing of those who voted to exclude Senator Reed as a delegate from the Democratic national con vention will be investigated. Senator W. S. Kenyon plainly intimated. . Mr. Kenyon, chairman of the sen ate committee investigating cam paign expenditures, in opening the hearing here today said: “I want to make.it plain that cer* matters will come up for Inves tigation which personally concern Senator Reed. Senator Reed, there fore, will take no part In these pro ceedings. He is sitting here simply to make a quorum.” Patrick O’Neill, member of the Democratic city committee, and a delegate to the Joplin convention/ told the committee he was given a check for $l5O signed by to pay expenses to the conventidiffi Lawrence P. Daly, chairman of the ci y committee, gave him the check, he said. When O’Neill declared he was “against Goltra,” Senator Spen cer asked if it “wasn’t unusual to ac cept Goltra’s checq thep?” “No,” answered O’Neill “I thought the money was subscribed. Why shouldn’t the Democratic partp pay my expenses?” Henry Struetker, another city com mitteeman, said his check for $l5O s was iven him at committee head quarters. He aserted the money didn’t pay al lexpenses and thq dele gates had hoped they would gfet more “Goltra was against Reed, but most of the delegates who traveled on his money were for Reed,” Streutker de clared. Streutfler said he “presumed every froin the Tenth district, got 4 He denied he had anywintention of 'helping Goltra.” ▼ Tony Steuver, another delegate to the st-’t- convention, also gave him SIOO, Streutker said. Steuver was a friend of Senator Reed and favored Cox for president, he added. "In other words, you got $l5O from tne Goltra faction and SIOO from the Steuver faction when you knew these factions were antagonistic?” asked Senator Kenyon. “Well, I thought the money had been subscribed and was to help the Democrats,” Streutker replied. “Goljra made is plain the money was for expenses and told the dele gates he was sorry he could not get more.” , Savannah Man Sang In Village Quartet With “Jimmy” Cox SAVANNAH, Ga., Julv 9.—Savan nah has two members of the Cox “I knew him when” club. One of them is Conrad Winkler, a butcher, who played with “Jimmy” Cox when they were boys together in Butler county, Ohio. Mr. Winkler says he and the nominee grew up together in Jack sonburg. They used to sit on the store steps together and discuss the issues of the day, he says. Mostly at that time the issues were crops and girls. They used to sing together as a part of a village quartet and do a lot of things that half-grown boys do. Thomas Halligan, the clerk of council, knew the candidate a num ber of years ago when Tom was the agent for a system of lighting for country homes. He used to go to conventions where the salesmen for this concern met and he says on three occasions he met'fCox there. He grew to like him very much. He hasn’t seen him since the people of Ohio elected him governor and Mr. Halligan doubts very much if the candidate would know him now.
