BEING WORKED OUT
IN SECRET SESSION
Irish Quetsion Produces Only
Note of Excitement La
Follette to Be Nominated)
if He Wants It
CHICAGO, July 12.—Work on
amalgamating the various elements
assembled here for the formation of
a new party c-ttinued behind closed
doors this morning while the con
ventions of the Committee of Forty-
Eight and the National Labor party
marked time.
Everything appeared to be pro
ceeding on schedule with the single
note of excitement provided by a
platform fight over the Irish ques
tion. ,
The negro question was brought
before the convention by the Rev. W.
R. Hagnall, 4 a colored minister of
Detroit. He was introduced as a
speaker for the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored
People.
C. W. Thomason, a lecturer for
the National Non-Partisan League,
told the Forty-Eight convention dele
gates of state enterprises initiated by
the league administration in North
Dakota. He said the league had given
union labor al 1 it had asked and
more.
During the long wait for confer
ence reports Swinborne Hale, of New
York, telling of deportation proceed
ings of the federal government, at
tacked Attorney General Palmer and
won applause. Hale told his au
dience that Parley P. Christensen, of
Utah, permanent chairman of the
convention, was one "of the first de
fenders of the I. W. W.” The dele
gates cheered at this until Chairman
Christensen was forced to acknowl
edge by bowing.
"The department of labor has since
become emancipated,” Hale
dealing with Palmer, ‘.‘by the courage
of Louis Post.”
Here the delegates, a number of
them rising, gave three cheers for
the assistant secretary of labor
whose impeachment has been urged
by Attorney General Palmer.
De Valera Applauded
Hale referred to himself casually
as "an old-fashioned revolutionary
American,” and asserted that Attor
ney Genr- 'Palmer “has the highest
ideals and the lowest practices of
any official in our history."
Eamonn De Valera, who got a rous
ing reception as he entered the hall,
cut short Hale’s talk, and was pre
sented as "president of the Irish re
public.”
De Valera was applauded when he
said the “Irish question” was an
“American question.” He asked for
recognition of the “Irish government”
in Ireland.
He was warmly applauded as he
concluded.
The Committee of Forty-Eight na
tional convention was called to order
by Permanent Chairman Parley M.
Christensen at 10 o’clock today.
Father M. D. Collins, pastor of the
Roman Catholic church of the Im
maculate Conception, Jackson Mo.,
prayed. As none of the committees
was ready to report the session was
turned into an "experience meeting,”

POLICEIRE PROBING
SHOOTING OF WHITE
• IN HOTEL LAVATORY
First Theory of Suicide Has
Been Upset by Evidence
and Lack of Motive, Say
Police .
The death of W. C. White, of 230
The Prado, at Grady hospital early
Monday afternoon left unsolved the
mystery as to a pistol wound from
which he died.
Mr. White walked into the public
lavatory of the Kimball House bar
ber shop shortly before noon Mon
day and a few minutes later a pistol
shot was heard. J. W. Spicer, man
ager o fthe barber shop, and Julian
Ector/ a negro, found him with a
wound in the head. He died at Grady
hospital a short time later.
Suicide Theory Upset
The first theory of the police was
that he had shot himself. Investi
gation, however, developed no motive
for suicide and physicians at the
hospital expressed their opinion that
the wound was not self-inflicted.
The. wound was through Mr.
White’s head. If self-inflicted, phy
sicians asserted, powder burns would
have been visible. No powder marks
were found on the head whereas there
were powder marks on the clothes,
strengthening the theory that the
weapon, a small calibre revolver, was
dropped and accidentally discharged.
Mr. White had been with the Hart
ford Fire Insurance company for ten
years and was executive special
agent for the southern department.
According to H. J. Hopkins, assistant
manager, he had a splendid record
and there was no reason for suicide.
Mr. Hopkina declared his belief that
investigations would show that Mr.
White did not kill himself.
Stopped to Read Letter
Ector, the negro, who saw Mr.
White enter the lavatory, stated that
he displayed no sign of nervousness.
He said he stopped for a moment
and read a letter which proved to
be an offer from a South Carolina
insurance company. According to
Ector, he entered the lavatory and a
few mifiutes later the shot was
heard.
Friends of Mr. White, who was
about thirty-five years of age, said
that his greatest known worry was
the fact that he had recently sold
his home and had not secured an
other house. They did not believe
that this would prompt suicide.
Funeral arrangements have not been
made. Mr. White is survived by his
wife and two small children,. Sarah,
aged seven, and Crawford, aged five.

LANCASTER, Pa., July 12.—‘Five

MBS. BRADSTREET 15
TO BE TRIE Wll
EOS EMBEZZLEMENT
Former Owner of Motor Cars
and Diamonds Now Helps
Father to Run a Grocery
Store
Mrs. Katherine Queen Bradstreet,
ertswhile owner of motorcars ..nd
diamonds, n>w helping her father to
run a grocery store on North Boule
vard, will be tried August 11 in the
Campbell county criminal court on
the charge of embezzling from the
Fairburn Banking company.
Attorneys for William B. Green,
former vice president of the bank,
who was convicted on the same
charge last April, will plead for a
new trial in a hearing at noon Mon
day before Judge John B. Hutcheson,
of the Stone Mountain circuit.
Green’s petition, made public Satur
day, asks a new trial on twenty-one
separate grounds.
The statement that Mrs. Brad
street positively will be tried, and,
the filing of Green’s amended peti-‘
tion were developments Saturday in
the case that has 4 * 1 aroused so much
public interest ever since Green and
Mrs. Bradstreet were arrested nearly
a year ago.
Rumors have * been abroad for
months that Mrs. Bradstreet would
not be tried, but that the case against
her would be nolle prossed. Tl.e
rumors finally inspired a petition,
signed by about thirty women o*
Fairburn and presented to Solicitor
George M. Napier, urging tha: the
state take every step to bring Mrs.
Bradstreet to trial.
“I have received the petition, said
Solicitor Napier S “and my
answer is this: Mrs. Bradstreets
csae has been set for August 11; the
state has entered into no agreement
whatsoever to hinder prosecution of
the case, and, so far as I know, there
is nothing that will keep the case
from coming to trial.”
Case Sure to Be Called
Judge Hutcheson was likewise em
phatic in his assertion that, so far
as the state is concerned, Mrs. Bead
street will be tried. “The night
after Green’s conviction,” said Judge
Hutcheson, "I set Mrs. Bradstreet s
case as a special order for Wednes
day, August 11, which is crinuna.
week in the Campbell county court.
The case could not be heard in April
because the trial of Green consumed
the entire time. But I will call the
case on August 11. and I expect both
sides to be ready.”
Fred Harrison, one of Mrs. Brad
street’s attorneys, said the judge had
served notice on the defense to this
effect, and that Mrs. Bradstreet is
ready to go <fn trial. The state, too,
it is understood, will be ready. At
torney Harrison said that Mrs. Brad
street is in the city. She has moved .
from her father’s old home at Pan
thersville to a place nearer Decatur
and, with her father and husband,
said Attorney Harrison, is running
the grocery store on North Boule
vard. ‘ . A „
When Mrs. Bradstreet is tried,
however, the prescution will be con
ducted by the state alone, unassisted I
by attorneys for the bank who help
ed conduct the case against Green
It is understood that the bank did
enter an agreement not to prosecute
Mrs. Bradstreet if she would make
a satisfactory settlement. She made
the settlement, and. this agreement
probably is the cause that gave rise
to rumors she would not be tried
at all. . . ,
Green’s petition for a new trial
was to have been heard Saturday
before Judge Hutcheson. Attorneys
for both sides were ready, and At
torney H.i A. Allen, one of Green’s
counsel, furnished the prosecution
with copies of the amended petition
for a new trial. The hearing was
postponed only because of the ab
sence from the city of George West
moreland, Green’s leading counsel,
and it was stated that Mr. Westmore
land will be in town Monday, so that
the hearing is sure to be held.
Green Not Present
' Green was not present before Judge
Hutcheson Saturday. He is at lib
erty under $40,000 bond, signed by
his relatives and close friends, but
he has been confined to his mother’s
home at Fairburn, where he is said
to be dangerously ill.
His petition sets forth twenty-one
grounds on which a new trial Js
asked. The principal point ratsed by
the defense is that the court erred
in admitting as evidence the civil
suit brought by the bank against
Green. The petition characterizes
this action of the court as “dignify
ing a lot of wild and reckless Allega
tions by calling them real evidence.”
The petition declares the court
erred several times in the charge to
the jury, asserting that the charge
was incorrect in law In its definition
of embezzlement, that it was “mixed
up and confusing and incapable of
being understood,” and that it preju
diced the jury unwarrantedly against
the defendant in several instances.
The petition recites instance after
instance of evidence admitted which
the defense claims should have been
ruled out. Some of this was evi
dence regarding events which took
place after Green’s' arrest, and
therefore was inadmissible, accord
ing to the defense. J. T. Longino’s
recital of the effects of Mrs. Brad
street, he took over as receiverd; J.
R. Byington’s testimony of a con
versation with Green, characterized
as “a moral lecture, immaterial, ir
relavant and highly prejdicial to
the defendant;” Mrs. William Ly
cett’s testimony in regard to a pur
chase by Mrs. Bradstreet; the tes
timony of Sam Dack about the pur
chase of an automobile by Mrs.
Bradstreet; Clarence Belle Isle’s tes
timony concerning the late hours
kept by Mrs. Bradstreet in returning I
her automobile to his garage—these
and other particulars should have
be ® l } ruled out, declares the petition.
The petition asks a new trial, fur
thermore, on the ground that the
verdict of the jury was not in legal
form in that it sentenced Green to
five years outright, when the duty of
the jury was to name a maximum
and a minimum sentence.
Attacks Martin Testimony
The petition attacks the testimony
°£ W- C. Martin, who made the audit
of the bank after Green’s arrest, de
claring he was allowed to "har
rangue” the jury and that "90 per
cent of his statement on the stand
was simply a tirade against Green.”
The petition reproduces a letter
which the prosecution claimed was
written by Green to Mrs. Bradstreet.
It was addressed to “My darling
wifie,” and was signed “Bill,” and
contained many endearing terms such
as “dearest,” "angel sweetheart,”
“Darling Katherine, I just love you
so much I want to be with you all
the time,” and "With all my love
and a great big goodnight kiss, yours
only and forever.”
The petition claims this letter was
not admissible because it was un
dated, wasn’t addressed to Mrs. Brad
street. and thefi-e was no evidence
that it was written to her.
The testimony of Detective W. T.
Gloer and Detective R. L. Waggoner
is also declared to have been inad
missible. • i

Man Accidentally Killed
His Sleeping IHife With
Gun, Coroner’s Jury Decides
Death by accidental shooting was
the verdict returned Monday after
noon by th© coroner’s jury that in
vestigated the tragedy wherein
James Augustus Studdard shot and
instantly killed his young wife, Mar
tha Cassie Studdard, when a shotgun
he was holding was discharged by
striking the cradle of their two-year
old, Hazel, in the bedroom of their
pretty little cottage near the Schoen
Fertilizer works, where the husband
is employed as an engineer.
The three were alone in the room
and the wife and child were asleep,
Studdard said, in explaining the
tragic accident. He got up early
Monday morning—before 5 o’clock—
and borrowed a shotgun from a
lodger, J. W. Hornsby, he said, with
the idea of going out and shooting
a squirrel for breakfast. He had
left his watch hanging from the head
of the bed and stopped to get it. •
Hammer Strikes Crib
As he stood betwen the cradle and
the bed, the shotgun in his hand, and
reached -for the watch, the weapon
stock the side of the cradle. In some
way the hammer was jerked up. It
snapped there was a deafen
ing report, and when the smoke had
cleared away, Studdard was horri
fied at seeing his wife lifeless be
fore him, the top of her head literal
ly blown off by the charge of heavy
birdshot, fired at such close range.
Such was the story the stricken
husband told Hornsby after he had
rushed from the room to get help.
Hornsby confirmed the borrowing of
the shotgun. He could not at first
believe what had happened, he said,
and it was only by returning with
Studdard to the room, where the
baby was wailing in the cradle beside
the bed where the mother’s body lay,
that he was convinced.
“I had loaned 'Gus the gun just
a few minutes before,” said Hornsby,
“and 1 could scarcely believe what
he said. Gus had come to my room
in the best of spirit and asked for
the gun, explaining that he wanted
to shoot squirrels before breakfast.
He went back to the bedgoom. Im
mediately afterward I heard the re
port of the gun, and a, moment later
Gus staggered out and told me what
had happened.”
Coroner Notified
After making certain that the vic
tim was past human aid, Hornsby
hurried to the office of the fertilizer
plant and notified Coroner Donohue
by telephone. The inquest took place
at the home several hours later and
the verdict was returned shortly aft
er noon.
The Studdard home is on the
Schoen road, about a mile from Lake
wood Heights. The house stands
about 200 yards away from the
Schoen Fertilizer works, which is on
the Seaboard Airline railway.
The Studdards had been married
only about three years and the hap
piness of their domestic life is said
to have been the subject of remark
among their neighbors. Before her
marriage, Mrs. Studdard was Miss
Martha Cassie Humphries, the daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. ,J. B. Hum
phries, of Atlanta. She is survived
by her parents and several brothers
and sisters.' The funeral arrange-/
ments have not been announced.

GOVERNOR OF
VERMONT WILL
NOT ISSUE CALL
RUTLAND, Vt„ July 12.—Gover
nor Clement today issued a procla
mation refusing to call the legisla
ture in special session to make possi
ble ratification of the federal amend
ment for woman suffrage.
The governor’s proclamation fol
lows a conference he had at Wash
ington recently with Senator Hard
ing, at which it is understood the
Republican presidential nominee dis
cussed with him the possibility of
having ratification completed by the
Republican legislature of Vermont.
In giving his reasons for refus
ing again to call a special session,
Governor Clement said the proposed
amendment clearly invades )the con
stitution of Vermont; that the pres
ent legislate s elected before the
question of ratifying the federal
amendment had arisen, and that the
people the state have ha ' no op
portunity to express themselves on
the issue. The governor proposed
that the matter be taken up by the
next Islature, and urged that
candidates for election be required
to declare themselves on it.
Governor Clements’ proclamation
asserted that “as it stands and is
interpreted by the supreme court to
day, the federal constitution threat
ens the foundation of free popular
government.”
The seventeenth' amendment to the
constitution, he said, had been
“lobbied through congress and state
legislatures by federal agents,” and
the eighteenth amendment had been
forced through by “powerful and ir
responsible organizations, operating
through paid agents with unlimited
funds.
“It is now proposed to force
through the nineteenth amendment
for woman suffrage in the same man
ner and also without the sanction of
the freemen.
“I have been asked to overlook
these considerations as a matter of
party expediency, but this is a mat
ter of principle, not expediency, and
the party that invades a well-estab-
Mshed principle of popular govern
ment will suffer to the end.”
Marked Cards Are
Found in Elwell’s Room
NEW YORK, July 12. —Scores of
packs of marked cards and a fake
faro outfit were found in the home
of Joseph Bowne Elwell, murdered
whist expert, authorities revealed
today.
The cards were of the type known
to. gamblers as “sand cards.” On
the backs' were small rough places
which a well-trained finger could read
by touching. There were from fifty
to one hundred decks of these cards,
a detective said. Elwell, it was un
derstood, purchased them in Eng
land. The faro layout was an in
genious “crooked” device, authori
ties asid.

New York Put In Harding
Column by David Law
rencej Who Says Harding
Would Win Eletcion Today
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
CHICAGO, 111., July 12,— Many
things happen twixt now and elec
tion day. But if the polls in the
presidential contest were to be clos'
ed tomorrow certain other things
would surely happen—such as, for
instance, the election 'of Warren
Harding, Republican, as president
of 'the United States. And if the
third party movement developes
even the minimum strength expect
ed of it—namely, the carrying of
Minnesota. Wisconsin and North
Dakota —Governor James Cox, of
Ohio, Democrat, may be the happy
beneficiary and president of the
United States.
However insignificant the third
party may appear to eastern eyes;
however much it may be derided as
Socialistic, ultra-radical and Hearst
made, the fact is it does menace
Republican victory more than it does
De.i.ocratic, for the Democrats who
nominated Co :, of Ohio, deliberately
forfeited the west and chose to
make their battle ground In the east.
Governor Cox may invade the west
successfully, but based on things as
they are today, he has less than an
even chance of carrying any west
ern states except California and
Montana.
Birst Forecast
It is <>perhaps early to make defi
nite forecasts, but there is neverthe
less a fixed opinion iny the mind of a
delegate as to what the chances of
his own party in his state are to
day. After canvassing numerous /
delegates at both Chicago and San
Francisco, asking them not to at
tempt to say definitely how their
states were going but merely what
they believed their own chances to
be, the writer deduced from both
Democratic and Republican opinions,
a table In which the electoral vote
would seem to be tending in a di«
rection something like this:

How Forecast is Made
In compiling the foregoing table,
no effort was made to consider any
of the so-called doubtful states as
certainties; but Ohio. ’ Indiana, Mis
souri, Kentucky, New Jersey, Cali
fornia aYid Montana were placed in
the Democratic column because
Governor Cox would, if the election
were held tomorrow, be apt to have
better than an even chance of car
rying the states either because of
his wet inclinations or, as in Ohio,
because of his record as & governor.
Similarly New York and all the
New England, as well as Illinois and
the majority of the western states
are placed for the moment in the
Republican column because Senator
Harding would appear to have bet
ter than an even chance of carrying
them, either because of his ten
dency to derive support from the dry
side of the argument in the western
states or the accumulated resent
ment against the Wilson administra
tion which, in the eastern states,
seems to be the paramount rease—
tor wanting a change from Demo
cratic to Republican rule. Naw
York state has just such a pent-up
feeling whilst the Tammany stamp
on the Democratic presidential nomi
nee will alienate thousands of wom
en voters who dislike ’Tammany not
merely for its own record in politics,
but its affinity with the liquor in
terests. '
Even so there is no question but
that even supporters of McAdoo be
lieve Cox will make a better run
in New York than McAdoo could
have done, though in the same
breath they contend no Democrat can
carry New York this year and that
McAdoo would have swept the west.
Those who nominated Cox privately
confirm the impression that a wet
candidate can hope for little out in
the west and must make his fight in
the eastern states. Even assuming
that the prestige of Cox will over
flow the borders of Ohio into In
diana and corral the labor vote there
