IWW MERGER 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.

State 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.

ATLANTA, GA., TUESDAY, JULY 13, 1920. 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 OHIO’S SEVENTH PRESIDENT—Ohio wins, whoever wins, in the race for presidency.

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. Four-Legged Chicken LONDON. —A chicken has been hatched at Lamberhurst with four legs and two tails. It is alive and healthy. 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. “Dry” Movement Starts in Mexico MEXICO CITY, July 11.—Legisla tion makipg all Mexico “dry” is Be ing prepared for presentation to the next congress at the office of Pro visional President de La Huerta, says the newspaper Universal. “The provisional president has de cided on this step,” says the news paper, “as a means of accomplishing the regeneration of the Indian and half-breed races, which are great con sumers of alcohol.” GEORGIA COUNTIES MAKE GOOD- GAINS IN CENSUS COUNT WASHINGTON, July 12.—The cen ! sus bureau today announced the fol lowing 1920 population 'results; Stamford City, Conn., 35,086; Stam ford town, including City, Conn., 40,- 057; Kinston, N.

NEW JERSEY CALIFORNIA ■ INOIBfOB COX 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: State.
