MRS. BRADSTREET
I REARRESTED AND
| PLACED IN JAIL
FAIRBURN, Ga., Aug. s.—For the
first time since her arrest last au
tumn, charged with conspiring with
William B. Green to embezzle funds
of the Fairburn Banking company
Mrs. Katherine Queen Bradstreet was
in jail here.
Out under $5,000 bond, assessed
when she was indicted in February
on the embezzlement charge. Mrs.
Bradstreet was re-arrested in At
lanta Wednesday night by a deputy
acting under authority from Judge
John B. Hutcheson, who. ’*• is said,
had been informed Mrs. Bnvu'Street
was about to leave the state to
avoid trial here next week.
O. A. Gullatt. the deputy who ar
rested Mrs. Bradstreet, said he was
told at her home that she was ill
in bed and could not bemoved. He
called her physician, he said, and
was informed by him mat Mrs. Brad
stret was not too sick to be taken
to Fairburn, whereupon she was
made to get up and dress.
Mrs. Bradstreet was accompanied
to Fairburn by her husband, Clarence
Bradstreet, who was arrested with
her when she was first held last fall,
but who was later released, and has
never been indicted on any charge.
The woman who has been such a
sensational figure in the Fairburn
bank case this morning occupied a
room in the red brick jail which
adjoins the home of Sheriff Jenkins.
She was expecting a visit from her
lawyer and from her husband during
the day.
Not Allowed to See Friends
The presence of Mrs. Bradstreet In
Fairburn for the first time since the
story of her relations with Green,
one-time mayor and “first citizen”
of the town, became public property,
was a matter of no little curiosity,
but small excitement to Fairburn
people. Those who inquired at the
jail this morning were not allowed
to see her.
In another part of Fairburn. Green,
ttndct* $40,000 bond pending the state
ment of his attorneys that he will
appeal to the court of appeals for a
nCw trial, is at the home of his
mother. He was convicted last spring
on the embezzlement charge, and re
cently was nenied a new trial by
Judge John B. Hutcheson, who pre
sided at the spring trial.
. Court now is in session In Fair
burn. Mrs. Bradstreet’s case is to
be called next Wednesday, August
11. She will be defended by Judge
Benjamin H. Hill and Attorney Fred
Harrison, one of whom was expect
ed in Fairburn today to make efforts
to obtain her release. The prosecu
tion will be conducted by Solicitor
George M. Napier. Attorneys for
the bank will not assist him as they
did at Gren’s trial, since the bank
made an agreement not to prosecute
Mrs. Bradstreet if she would make a
settlement with the bank, which she
did many months ago.
Arrest Was a Surprise
Mrs. Bradstreet s re-arrest came
as a surprise yesterday. It was or
dered. it is understood, because
rumors were afloat that she would
“skip her bond” rather than stand
trial next week. Her only bondsman
was her father, A. P. Queen.
Whether her attorneys can persuade
the court to release her until the
trial or make a higher bond in case it
Should be assessed, remained to be
teen today.
Green’s friends state that he is ill
also They declared recently that he
Buffered a nervous breakdown when
■ome one called him over the tele
phone, giving the name of Mrs.
Bradstreet.
There was some talk here today
that at the same session of court
at which Mrs. Bradstreet will be tried,
Green will also be tried on the
charge of arson, on which he was in
dicted jointly with the embezzlement
Omega Ships Bale
Os 1920 Cotton
TIFTON, Ga„ Aug. 4.—Omega, ten
miles from Tifton, shipped the first
bale of cotton fbr the 1920 season,
and probably the first for Georgia.
Tuesday. The bale weighed 310
pounds, was grown by J. R. O. Lind
sey on the R. L. Shipp farm and was
ginned by J. W. Lang & Co. It was
Bent by express to Savannah.
Heavy rains prevented the bale be
ing ginned Monday, although it was
ready one day earlier. Rains also
retarded picking, although there was
enough open cotton on the farm to
make a heavy bale.
Montgomery County

MT. VERNON. Ga., Aug. s.—At the
noon recess of court Wednesday,
Clifford Walker spoke at the court
house at 11 o’clock. Many people
who did not have to attend court
came through a downpour of rain.
The discussion of Senator Hard
wick and his record was largely upon
his defense of the Martens case,
giving evidence and record of the
case. The keynote of his whole
•peech was a warning against Bol

Bia as an example. His speech was
received with applause.

Cotton Growers Should
Not Sell Seed at Low
Prices, Says Jordan
The recent slump reported In the
price of cotton seed sets a figure
below the cost of production, accord
ing to Harvie Jordan, secretary of
the American Cotton association, who
recommends that growers either use
seed for fertilizer or hold it for
the time being, rather than market
it at present.
Following is a statement concern
ing the situation, issued by Mr. Jor
dan :
“Something is vitally wrong with
the cottpn seed market. Like a bolt
of lightning from a clear sky, we
note in the market reports that the
price of cotton seed has fallen to
S2O per-ton, a price recently fixed
by the oil mills in south Texas, ac
cording to Commerce and Finance.
It was assumed that the market
would open this season at from SBS
to S9O per ton. The present quoted
prices of cotton seed per ton will
not much more than pay the cost of
picking and ginning one bale of cot
ton, while it takes the seed from two
bales to make a ton. Hundreds of
thousands of small farmers, includ
ing tenants and share croppers who
grow cotton, always depend upon the
cotton seed to aid them in paying
the cost of harvesting, ginning and
the purchase of essential supplies
required while gathering the crop.
“If the price per ton for seed
will not more than pay the cost of
picking and ginning one bale of cot
ton, how is the. crop to be gathered
when the entire proceeds of all the
lint is generally required to meet
obligations already made in the
planting and cultivation of the crop,
this situation generally, confronts
the vast majority of the small farm
ers who are really the producers of
the crop.
“At $20.00 per ton, the price of the
seed is reduced to 30 cents per bush
el and compares favorably with the
days of ten cents cotton. It must
be remembered that ordinary plant
ing seed sold the growers last spring
over large areas of the western cot
ton belt, brought $l2O per ton, or
nearly $2 per bushel. The farmers
in the southwest failed to save good
planting seed due to the long season
of wet weather in that section. Se
lected planting seed of certain varie
ties sold in - car lots ffor S2OO per
ton, and In many cases as high as
$4 per bushel.
“The present price of cotton seed
as stated in the press dispatches, If
true, presents a solar plexus blow
to the pocket books of the farmers,
which is truly staggering, and which
cannot and should not be submit
ted to by a single cotton grower in
the south. At the present high price
of commercial fertilizers it will be
cheaper, and far more profitable, to
keep the cotton seed as a fertilizer
in those Sections of the cotton, belt
where fertilizers are used, than to
sacrifice them at a price so far below
the cost of production. In other sec
tions where fertilizers are not used,
the seed should be hauled back home
from the gin, housed out of the
weather, and spread out, so as to
prevent them from heating.
“No man can afford to give the
hard earned product of his toil to
the organized manufacturers of the
by-products of the cotton seed indus
try at such mercilessly low prices
now. There has been no reduction
made to the consumer in the price of
compound lards, but on the contrary
the buckets are being made smaller
in size, and the contents constantly
lessened In quantity. The price of
cotton seed meal is so high that the
fertilizer companies have abandoned
its use as a basis of nitrogen en
tirely. On August Ist we find cot
ton seed meal In car lots at Atlanta,
Ga., quoted at $62 per ton. Cotton
seed hulls, sacked, in car lots at $25
per ton. At these prices for some
of the leading by-products of cotton
seed, where is the rhyme or reason
for making the price of the raw
seed down to S2O per ton.
Inheritance Tax
Exemptions Voted
For Charity Bequests
By the terms of a bill which pass
ed the senate Thursday morning,
the Scottish Rite Home for Crip
pled Children at East Lake will be
exempted from the payment of $5,000
inheritance tax on a legacy of SIOO,-
000, bequeathed to that institution
by the late Mr. Albert Steiner, well
known Atlanta business man and
philanthropist, who died several
months ago.
The bill will also exempt the
Grady hospital from the payment of
$15,000 Inheritance tax on a legacy
of $150,010 from the Steiner estate.
The measure in question has al
ready passed the house, having been
introduced by Mr. Moore, of Butts
county, and when it came up in the
senate on Thursday was sponsored
by Senator Ivan E. Allen, of the
Thirty-fifth. It amends the in
heritance tax law so that exemptions
on legacies for charitable, scientific,
literary, and educational purposes
shall be operative as to bequests
made after January 1,. 1919. The
schedule of inheritance taxes as fix
ed by the statute increases with the
amount of the legacy and establishes
a sliding scale.

Man Robbed Three
Times in One Night
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—While Paul
Jotblad, a cook, was bending over
the stove in a Grand avenue restau
rant, early In the morning, a man
stepped Into the place, “covered”
Jotblad with a revolver and rifled
the cash register, taking $l5O.
Deciding it was a poor night, Jot
blad locked up the restaurant and
went to his room in the Paris hotel.
There he found that a thief had pre
ceded him and stolen a suit and a
pair of trousers.
Jotblad thrust his hand Into his
pocket to see If his money still was
safe. He pulled out sl4 and laid the
monej' on a table, where he could
watch It. Then he went to bed and
to sleep.
When he awoke he looked at the
table and gasped. The money was
gone.
“On my way to breakfast,” says
Jotblad, “I borrowed enough money
to purchase a revolver."

FUSE IS TOUCHED
OFF BY HARDING,
SAYS LAWRENCE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 11)29, for The Atlanta Journal.)
MARION, Ohio, Aug. 5. —Senator
Harding has touched off a fuse in
the presidential campaign that is.
more than likely to burn the fingers
of both the Republican and Demo
cratic candidates if they don’t watch
out. For admittedly the question of
prejudices and wishes of the foreign
born voters in America is one of the
most delicate of all political sched
ules to handle. ,
The senator in his front-porch
speech to Wayne county Republicans,
struck out boldly against the League
of Nations as a “world experiment”
which threatened the concord of
American citizenship because, as he
said, it is folly to think of trying
to blend aliens In American unity
“when the land of their adoption sits
in judgement on the land from which
they came.”
Now the truth is the League of
Nations has been attacked on the
ground that it would cause friction
among foreign-born residents in the
United States and defended on the
basis of American cosmopolitanism
being the useful factor in mediat
ing disputes abroad. But the in
teresting thing is that in both the
Republican and Democratic campaign
headquarters there are to be found
this year, as in every other presi
dential contest, certain bureaus de
signed to corral the foreign-born
vote.
Appeal to Irish
To the Irish voters, the Republi
cans are appealing for support on
the theory that the League of Na
tions somehow, through Article X,
requires America to support Eng
land as against Ireland. This the
Democrats stoutly deny, asserting
that Article XI in the league cove
nant would enable America for the
first time to approach England of
ficially and make the matter of Irish
self determination an international,
instead of a domestic question, as
England -’oitns it is.
To the Italian voters, the Repub
licans are appealing for support be
cause of president Wilson’s supposed
antipathy to Italian aspirations in
the Fiume question. The Democrats
probably would be happy to see the
Flume controversy settled to enable
them to point to Italy’s acceptance
of a settlement as a proof of Italian
approval of the concert of nations.
To the German voters, the appeal
of the Republicans need not be more
than an emphasis on Wilsonism,
which still is an abhorrent term
among those German-Americans who
felt that American participation in
the war was unnecessary or among
those who thought the accusation of
“hyphenate” was too loosely applied.
On the other hand, if the German
born voters were influenced by the
wishes of the country of their birth,
they would side with the Democrats
who want to see the League of Na
tions established, because it is a fact
that Germany fully expected the
United States to be a member of
the all-important reparations com
mission and to help keep down the
size of the indemnity.
Looked for “Square Deal”
It is a striking confirmation of the
American viewpoint expressed at the
Paris conference by President Wilson
that the imposition of an unlimited
indemnity now has been abandoned.
Germany fully counted on American
influence in the Leagueof Nations to
get her a “square deal.” But it is
a serious question how much German
sympathizers in America are in touch
with the desires of the Fatherland
and how much more vital to them
is the expression of a protest against
the Democratic administration which
offended them during the war.
To the Poles, the Republicans and
Democrats will present different
aspects of Poland’s plight. The Demo
crats will say the troubles in Po
land today are due to neglect by
the powers, and especially the inabil
ity of America to help through the
League of Nations, while the Repub
licans would answer that if this is
true, President Wilson’s stubborn
ness kept America from being in the
league to render that help.
Among the Czecno-Slovaks and
Jugo-blavs ,the assistance already
rendered by America to the new re
publics in central Europe will be
used to political advantage in the
claiming of credit by the Democrats
for the part played by President Wil
son in the establishment of those
countries and by the Republicans
for the financial assistance and re
lief rendered In Austria and else
where in central Europe by Herbert
Hoover who has announced his sup
port of Senator Harding.
Two-Edged Sword
But fundamentally Mr. Harding
has opened up wide the question of
the sympathies of the foreign born
m the event that a dispute arises be
tween the United States and the
country of their birth. The dissen
sion inside America when the Unit
ed States got into conflict with Ger
many occurred, say the Democrats,
when there was no League of Na
tions and they declare moreover that
I vi.f rish ' Americans have sat in the
lobbies of congress and influenced
the passage of resolution after reso
lution offensive to Great Britain On
the other hand, Mr. Wilson himself
has contended that because America
was made up of various nationalities
her people could bring friendly in
fluence to bear and could better un
derstand European controversies.
Senator Harding is confident from
America’s experience with the hy
with Germany that
the United States would be perpe
tually torn with disputes among her
own citizens if this country sat on a
council and discussed European
questions. It is considered by Re
publicans as one of the most pow
erful arguments that could be made
against America’s entrance into the
league and unquestionably will be
the basis of Republican efforts to se
cure the support of foreign born vot
ers for a policy of hands off Europe.
But the trouble is that many for
eign born want America to use her
influence in Europe and to mix in
Its a two-edged sword.
Legion Refuses to
Hear Senator Who
Fought Bonus Bill
SAVANNA, 111.. Aug. 5. —Senator
Lawrence Y. Sherman was notified
today that .his scheduled address at
the annua lold settlers picnic at Lan
ark, August 16, has been cancelled
because every American legion post
in the county has protested against
his appearance. The objections were
based on Senator Sherman’s opposi
tion to the soldiers’ bonus bill.
Wild Man of Desert
Kills Ranchers’ Stock
WINNEMUCCA, Nev.—A wild man
lives on Owynhee desert, a great
stretch of bleak, barren country on
the eastern part of the line between
Nevada and Oregon, according to
ranchers. They said they had seen
him many times, but that no one was
ever able to approach him until some
time ago, when some riders surround
ed him and made him talk.
He looked wild, they reported, and
his hair and beard were long. The
men let him go. Now the ranchmen
of that section are complaining that
the fellow is killing their cattle and
sheep, on which he lives, and they
are requesting the Oregon authorities
to catch him and look after him.
Professor Changes
Roosters Into Hens
PARIS, France. —Changing the sex
of the embryo at wil lis not only
feasible, but actually has been ac
complished in experiments on poul
try, according to a statement made
to the Physiological Congress by
Professor Pezard, whose researches
in this field have previously attracted
world-wide attention.
Dr. Pezard affirms in his state
ment that it is “comparatively sim
ple” to transform roosters into hens,
and vice versa. He asserts, however,
that “now that the first step has been
taken, the ultimate discovery of a
feasible method for humans is mere
ly a matter of experiment.”
Park Board Committee to
Commence Investigation
Os City Pools at Once
The investigating committee ap
pointed at the Wednesday afternoon
meeting of the city park noard, to
probe the charges of improper con
duct in the city bathing pools, which
charges were brought by Rev. Caleb
Ridley, from his pulpit, in the press,
and in a written statement before the
board, will meet at an early date to
begin its work.
Dr. Ridley’s Statement
The position taken by the majority
of the members of the board is that
it is impossible to keep a few unde
sirable persons out of public places
which are visited by more than 100,-
000 people a month. Attention of the
newspaper representatives was called
by several members of the board to
the statement of the general manager
that 117,442 people had visited the
city pools during the month of July,
and only four complaints had been
heard.
Dr. Ridley’s statement, read before
the board and placed in the hands of
the investigating committee was sub
stantially as’follows:
“Waving for the time being all con
crete illustrations of immorality at,
in and around the swimming pools
of Atlanta, I desire to say before
your honorable board that if you do
not know of questionable practices
being constinuously carried on at
these bathing places both day and
night, and if you do not know that
women of the most immoral char
acter of long standing in Atlanta,
women known personally to the of
ficers of the law—-if you do not know
that these women are constant visi
tors. to these pools at night, if your
board does not know this, it ought
to know it.
“With the information I have of
conditions now prevailing at these
places at night, I must object to my
wife and daughters being in any way
connected with them, and I honestly
believe that most heads of families
would feel as I feel if they would
seriously look Into the matter.
“I have been put in the light of
reflecting upon the decent women
who visit these pools. I deny any
such intention and have publicly
stated, both in m? pulpit and in the
press of the city, that if there was
any reflection upon anybody, they
brought it upon themselves by their
association with immoral and ques
tionable men and women.
“Nor do I desire to criticize the
officers who are detailed to look after
these places. They are probably do
ing the best they can, and some of
them have volunteered the informa
tion to friends of mine that condi
tions were far worse than I had inti
mated
“Those in charge of the Oakland
City pool will welcome any effort
your board may put forth to better
conditions there.
“Certain it is that better protec
tion has been needed.at Maddox pai’k
where a drunken attache felled to the
earth an aged grandfather for ob
jecting to this same drunken wretch
throwing his grandchildren into the
water. Piedjnont park and Grant
park have for years been a nightly
stamping ground for men and women
of questionable character, and night
bathing has made it infinitely worse.
It is known to many that girls
frequent these places at night when
their parents believe them In the
sacred precincts of some friendly
home. ’
Dr. Ridley’s statement continued
with an excorioration of “scamps”
who, he said, “hung around the pools
at the larger parks and approached
young girls under the pretense of
teaching them to swim.” He told of
one instance in which, he said, a
girl, resenting the advances of one
of these mashers, “kicked him flat
in the water.”
He continued:
"If your board really desires In
formation, there is certainly plenty
of it to be had. I hand you the
names of the following well known
citizens who will take pleasure in
giving you many important facts
bearing upon this situation:
“Charlie Pool, A. A. Brown, J. J,
Brown, Mrs. J. E Andrews, Bob Fore
man, Rev. Mr. Hickman, of the Jef
ferson Street Methodist church:
Prof. White, of the University School
for Boys; J. J. Barnes, of the Barnes
Oil company, and Captain Hill, of the
police force.
"As it appears to me, your board
should welcome all the facta in the
case, and then put forth every effort
to better conditions. Denying the
existence of evil will not destroy evil,
nor will denunciations of others rem
edy conditions as they now exist.
Two things seem clear to me: First,
night bathing cannot be regulated in
our larger parks, and its perpetuity
will undermine the morals of the
community. Second, something
should be done to regulate the styles
of the costumes worn by women at
these parks. Some of them are sug
gestive, inviting and disgraceful."
Dr, Ridley Endorsed
Rev. G. L. Hickman, pastor of the
Jefferson Street Methodist church,
Thursday morning issued a state
ment in support of Dr. Ridley’s
charges, reading as follows:
"I am deeply interested in the bill

Improvement Shown
In Cotton, Corn, Potato
Crops, Says Pedder
Summarizing financial, industrial
and agricultural conditions in Geor
gia and the southeast, J. E. C. Ped
der, southeastern manager of the
Bradstreet company, shows in his
report for the week ending August
4, that the cotton, corn, potato and
truck crops now are showing marked
improvement, in spite of the fact that
the recent rainy spell has been con
ductive to the inroads of the boll
weevil.
Mr. Pedder’s report follows:
“Wholesale and jobbing trade is
quiet. still indicate an un
willingness to , place orders except
for immediate shipment and then
only on a filling-in basis. Cut rate
sales of clothing and shoes continue.
Collections are slow. Transportation
facilities continue bad and are af
fecting business, especially in build
ing materials. Money is high and
scarce except for nonspeculative cus
tomers.
“The past week has been rainy and
cool, which is designated as favorable
to the boll weevil. The cotton plant
looks well, however, and has on the
whole shown improvement. Corn,
potatoes and truck show good growth
the past week and although all crops
are about two weeks late, an aver
age yield is anticipated.”

WOULD JAIL ANY
WOMAN FOR USING
“DECOY” ON MEN
As if it wasn’t tough enough on
the girls already, with life impris
onment threatening them if they dare
even to wash their hands wearing
anything less than a suit of sheet
iron, along comes Senator George C.
Glenn, of the Forty-third, with a bill
that makes it all but impossible to
catch a husband.
Senator Glenn wants to put in jail
any woman, “maid or widow,” who
decoys the hunted male into matri
mony by any such artful device as
“scent, paint, powder, perfume, cos
metics, waters, artificial teeth, false
hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, cor
sets, hoops, high-heel shoes, V-cut
waists, lingerie, rainbow hoisery," or
practically anything else that wom
an wears for fascination rather than
protection.
Senator Glenn introduced several
years ago in the legislature his
“blandishment bill,” as he calls it.
It failed of passage at the time,
much to his sorrow. Now, he de
clares, with the advent of sheer lace
hosiery, harem skirts, shimmy dances
and other modern Institutions, the
situation is something less than in
tolerable—man has no more chance
for freedom than the inside of an egg.
Senator Glenn introduced his bill
in the senate Thursday. It was
promptly referred to the committee
on the state sanitarium.
The bill, it will be noted from the
text given below, is drastic. About
all it leaves to the girls for hus
band-hunting is a flatiron or a brick—
Its text follows:
A bill to be entitled an act to re
vive and put in force the British act
of parliament in the year 1670 re
lating to the wiles and blandish
ments of women upon the unsuspect
ing males of this state, to make the
same of force and effect in the state
of Georgia and for other purposes.
“Section 1. Be it enacted by the
state of Georgia, and it is hereby en
acted by authority of the same, that
all women of whatever age, rank,
profession or degree, whether maids
or widows, that from and after the
passage of this act impose upon and
betray into matrimony any unsus
pecting male subjects of this state
by scents, paints, powder or per
fumes, cosmetics, waters, artificial
teeth, false hair, Spanish wool or
any other kind of wool, iron stays,
corsets, pads or paddings, hoops or
high heel shoes, V-cut waists, lin
gerie, lace, variegated, drop-stltched
or rainbow hosiery, or bv any other
deceitful means or artful practices,
shall incur the penalty of the laws
of force against witchcraft, sorcerv
and such like high crimes and misde
meanors, and that the marriage, upon
convention, shall stand null and void.
“Section 2. Be it further enacted
by the authority aforesaid, that all
laws and parts of laws in conflict
with this act, be, and the same are
hereby, repealed.”

Resinol Soap should usually be used with Resinol
Ointment to prepare the skin to receive the Resinol
