Campbell Courtroom Crowd
ed to Capacity as Woman
Faces Trial—Mother and
Father Arrive Late
BY WARD GREENE.
(Staff Correspondent of The Journal.)
FAIRBURN, Ga„ Aug. 11.—A jury
of seven farmers, one blacksmith, one
mechanic, one truck driver, a lumber
dealer and a Baptist preacher will
decide whether or not Mrs. Kathe
rine <Jueen Bradstreet is guilty of
k the charge of conspiring with Wil-
I Ham B. Green to embezzle thousands
of dollars from the Fairburn bank
ing company.
This was the jury chosen by 11:30
o’clock this morning, just three hours
and a half after Mrs. Bradstreet’s
trial began. Only two panels and
part of a third were exhausted before
the last juror was chosen.
As each man was examined Mrs.
Bradstreet, seated witn her lawyers
at a table in front of the hot, packed
court room, scanned his face closely,
it was the nod or the shake of her
head that decided, in each instance,
whether the juror was acceptable to
the defense. The twelve who will
hold her fate in their hands all were
approved by her.
Nervous at first, breaking into
tears when her mother arrived at 9
o’clock, Mrs. Bradstreet gradually
grew more composed. She whispered
to her lawyers and even smiled and
chatted with her mother and father,
Mr. and Mrs. A. P. Queen. Her hus
band, Clarence Bradstreet, was not in
court. Two big palm leaf fans were
• kept busy by her and Mffe. Queen,
for it was intensely hot and the crowd
was so thick it jostled her now and
again.
Mrs. Bradstreet’s trial got well un
der way only after three attempts
to delay it had been made by the
defense.
Defense Loses First Skirmish
A series of attempts by the de
fense to delay the trial of Mrs.
failed one by one this
morning, with the result that at 10
o’clock the picking of a jury began.
It was assured that probably by
the end of the week Mrs. Bradstreet
will know whether she will be con
victed or freed of the charge of con
spiring with William B. Green to em
bezzle thousands of dollars from the
Fairburn Banking company.
First the defense asked for a
change of ven.ue. This was denied.
Next the defense asked for a super
sedeas, while appealing this decision.
This was denied. Third, the defense
declared it could not announce ready
unless William B. Green was present
as chief material witness for their
case.
Green’s lawyers assured the court
that Green would appear when want
ed, and on this assurance the de
fense said it would waive his pres
ence now and go on with the trial.
Despite the heavy downpour that
drenched the red hills of Campbell
county this morning the courthouse
at Fairburn was packed to suffoca
tion for the trial of Mrs. Bradstreet.
Court Called to Order
When court was called to order at
8 o’clock, judge, attorneys, tales
ijnen, witnesses and spectators, who
filled every bench, were present, but
Mrs. Bradstreet had not yet ap
peared.
Ninety-five per cent of those in
the courtroom were men. Four
women of Campbell county occupied
chairs near the front of the court
room. Mrs. Green was not in court,
nor was her little daughter.
An extra panel of talesmen was
summoned and sworn, then the case
of The State vs. Mrs. Katherine
Bradstreet was called and Sheriff
Jenkins departed to fetch Mrs. Brad
street from the jail, about 200 yards
from the courthouse.
While court waited Judge Ben H.
Hill, of counsel for Mrs. Bradstreet,
introduced a petition, asking for a
change of venue in the case on the
ground that too much prejudice ob
tained in Campbell county for Mrs.
Bradstreet to have a fair trial.
' Mrs. Bradstreet Enters
The petition charged that all jurors
summoned to try Mrs. Bradstreet had
heard the evidence introduced at
Green’s trial and denunciatory
speeches against Mrs. Bradstreet,
which also had been published in the
press and widely circulated.
Among other grounds for a change
of v(nue, the defense declared an
inflammatory petition had been circu
lated by women of Fairburn, demand
ing an immediate trial for Mrs.
Bradstreet.
"Passion and prejudice have been
so aroused in the county against
Mrs. Bradstreet that she cannot get
a fair trihl here,” declared the pe
tition.
When Judge Hill finished reading
the petition there was another wait
until Mrs. Bradstreet arrived to
swear to the charges recited in it.
There is only one entrance to the
courtroom, the front door. Around it
and wedged in a solid jam down the
single aisle were men. At 8:30 Mrs.
Bradstreet was escorted in by Sheriff
Jenkins, who pawed away for her
through the staring spectators, whom
she brushed as she passed in with
bowed head.
Mrs. Bradstreet was dressed in
black taffeta, simply but stylishly.
She wore a dark blue picture hat, the
underside lined with white. She
wore no ornament or jewelry what
ever save a hatpin and her wedding
ring. She carried a velvet handbag.
This she deposited in her lap, as
a split-bottomed chair was brought
for her, a white pillow placed on
it, and she took her seat at the front
table between her lawyers, Judge
Hill and Fred E. Harrison.
Senator Smith’s Speech
In Covington Brings Many
Assurances of Support
COVINGTON, Ga„ Aug. 11.—A
crowd in, which farmers predomi
nated overflowed the Newton county
courthouse here yesterday afternoon
upon the occasion of Senator Hoke
Smith’s visit to Covington. The
senator was given an attentive hear
ing and his speech was interrupted
frequentl}' by outbursts of applause
and cheering.
Senator Smith followed generally
the lines of the address he delivered
earlier in the day at Conyers. He
planted himself squarely on the San
Francisco platform and behind the
presidential candidacy of Governor
James M. Cox. He devoted the two
hours he talked to a discussion of
the great constructive record of the
Democratic party and a full and
frank review of his public record as
governor of Georgia and in the sen
ate of the United States.
As at Conyers and in all of his
other utterances during the cam
paign, Senator Smith's speech was
marked by the absence of personali
ties and abusive comment respecting
either of his opponents in the-~fcen
ate race, and the hostilities of his
enemies in Georgia, excepting only a
reference to the Atlanta Constitu
tion, which provoked laughter and
applause. a
“Os course;-! know you don’t be
lieve what you read in the Atlanta
Constitution regarding myself and
my candidacy,” said Senator Smith.
“The Atlanta Constitution doesn’t
like me and you good people of
Newton county partly are responsible
for its bitterness and hostility. You
helped me’ to defeat Clark Howell in
his race for governor in 19W, and the
Atlanta Constitution has never for
given me. Its unfriendly comments
date from the defeat of its editor
and its hostility has been unceasing.
It never publishes the truth in mat
ters concerning me.”
Convert Interrupts Speech
Senator Smith was interrupted
once during his speech. A gentleman
arose to remark that he had enter
ed the courthouse with a firm resolve
to oppose the senator’s re-election,
"but," said he, “I have changed my
mind since hearing the speech. I
am for Hoke Smith stronger than
ever before, and my coat is off dur
ing the remainder of this campaign.”
The sentiment thus voiced was
loudly applauded by the crowd in the
courtroom, and at the conclusion of
the speech Senator Smith was sought
out by scores of representative citi
zens who offered voluntary assur
ances of support. Among them were
many who had never voted for him
in his previous races and others who
opposed him in the recent presiden
tial primary. ’
Senator Smith drove from Conyers
to CovingtJn. He arrived only a few
minutes before the -scheduled time
of the meeting, and found a crowd
at the courthouse. Among them
were Dr. N. J. Boswell, of Mansfield;
C. D. White, J. L. Stephenson, E. W.
Fowler, R. R. Fowler, T. G. Galla
way, J. B. Ellington, Steve Hayes, A.
L. Lord, of Newborn, ordinary-elect;
Ed Adams, Mansfield; J. W. King,

Cox and. Smith Agree
J. Claude Upshaw introduced tne
senator and referred to the fact
that Mr. Smith and Governor Cox
are in agreement respecting the rati
fication of the League of Nations.
Senator Smith outlined the views
of the twenty-three Democratic sen
ators who favored reservations to
the league that will protect Ameri
can interests and institutions, when
reservations, he pointed out, were
approved by Governor Cox, jn his
speech of acceptance.
The senator took up the legislative
record of the Democratic party in
detail and dwelt upon the great
good that it has accomplished in
lightening the burdens of the people
and improving the opportunity of
every one.
The big problems confronting the
country were illuminated by the sen
ator, and his plans for improving
legislation already enacted and for
protecting many of the great acts
of the Democratic administration
won the approval of the crowd.
As in his previous speeches, Sen
ator Smith invited interruption and
interrogation. He expressed not
only a willingness but a desire to
answer any questions that might be
asked, and assured the crowd that
any one dehiring to interrupt would
be given the most cordial and con
siderate treatment.
"We can’t agree about everything,”
he said, “All of us are human, and
being human we are fallible. Mis
takes all of us have made. I know
I have erred, but I have never com
mitted an error that was not
prompted by ■what I conscientiously
believed to be, the right thing.
“I believe I have been of service
to the people of Georgia. I know
that my experience in Washington
and in public affairs fits me to be of
further service to Georgia. If I
didn’t feel that I could serve the
people I wouldn’t seek any office.
“Service, to my way of thinking,
unselfish service for one’s fellow
man, is the greatest joy in life, and
it is because I want to serve you
that I am offering for re-election to
the senate.’’
Many Converts Won »
Senator Smith’s speech made a
deep impression on all who heard
it, and about the streets after the
meeting words of praise and com
mendation were heard on all sides.
His old friends and supporters were
convinced that his speech had help
ed his candidacy in Newton county,
and many others who have not sup
ported him conceded that his address
made many converts.
The senatorial race in Newton
county is squarely between Senator
Smith and Thomas E. Watson, who
woij the county in the presidential
primary. It is conceded that Mr.
Watson has a strong following in
the county. Governor Dorsey has
developed practically no strength,
and the Smith men believe that many
who otherwise might support the
governor will join with them in re
deeming the county for the Demo
cratic party.

IK CENTSAN HO
CHICAGO, Aug. 10.—Thirty mil
lion dollars was added t-oday to the
nation’s express bill. The United
States railway labor board awarded
the 80,000 employes of the American
Railway Express company an in
crease of 16 cents an hour. The de
cision is retroactive to May 1, 1920.
Under the terms of the Esch-Cum
mins transportation act, the express
company will be permitted to raise
its rates sufficiently to meet the in
creased labor cost. Arguments in
the rate case already have been pre
sented before the interstate com
merce commission at Washington.
Today’s award does not go into the
question of rules and working condi
tions. As was the case last month,
when the board granted a $600,000,-
000 increase to railway employes, it
was announced that a decision cov
ering new working rules would be
handed down later.
The express decision applies to all
express employes save 2,500 shop
men who were given an increase of
13 cents on hour in the railway
award last month. The award to ex
pressmen is slightly better than the
average increase to the railroad men,
the board finding that express em
ployes, as a class, were not so well
paid as men in other lines of rail
road work.
Four unions are affected by the
board’s decision. They are:
Unions Affected
The Brotherhood of Railway and
Steamship Clerks, Freight Handlers,
Express and Station *Employes.
The International Brotherhood of
Teamsters, Chauffeurs, Local No. 720,
of Chicago.
The Order of Railway Expressmen.
’ For the purposes of the award the
board divided express employes in
five classes but the increase granted
was in each case the same, 16 cents
an hour. Messengers and other em
ployes in the train service whose
hours are computed on a scale of a
240-hour- month will receive an in
crease of $38.40.
700 IN CHATTANOOGA
AFFECTED BY INCREASE
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., Aug. 10.—
The increase in wages of 16 cents
an hour to employes of the Amer
ican Railway Express company by
the railway labor board will affect ap
proximately 700 employes in Chat
tanooga, which- is general head
quarters for the south and south
west. The local increase 'will amount
to $25,000 a month, or $33.28 per

POWER OF TRUSTEES
OFSTATEUNIVERSITY
CURTAILHJjiY HOUSE
Curtailment Is Applied to G?
N> and I. C. Places Follow
ing Charge of "Trust”
Methods Employed
Following charges by Representa
tive Lankford, of Toombs county,
to the effect that the friends, at
taches and alumni of the board of
trustees of the University of Georgia
were in a political trust that threat
ened to prevent anyone from holding
an important state office without the
approval of the university, the house
of representatives Tuesday after
noon curtailed the power of the trus
tees to the extent of taking from
them the authority ot name three ex
ifficio members of the trustees of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial col
lege.
Some of the debate on the meas
ure carried the implication that the
university trustees, as powers in the
alleged “political trust,” followed
their political inclinations in select
ing trustees or educational branches
subsidiary to the State unversity.
The bill, a senate measure, was
passed by the overwhelming vote of
112 to 55, after a substitute measure
by Mr. Pace, of Sumter, requiring
the university trustees to remove ex
officio members of branch boards
upon a recommendation of the ma
jority of the board members, was
killed.
The present ex-officio members of
the Georgia! Normal & Industrial col
lege board are Judge George F. Go
ber, of Atlanta and Marietta; Byron
Bower, an Atlanta lawyer and for
merly a member of the house from
Decatur county, and Hugh Rowe,
editor of the Athens Banner.
“You can talk about your oil trust
and your coal trust and other trusts, ‘
said Mr. Lankford in discussing the
bill, “but the most damnable trust
that has ever been formed in Geor
gia i sthe state university trust. It
is getting to the point where a man
cannot be elected governor, speaker
of the house or to any important of
fice unless he pleases the universi
ty trust ”
Representative Carswell, of Wil
kinson, explaining his vote for the
measure, declared tha the believed
the educational system of the state
should be run from the capitol and
not “from the campus of the Uni
versity of Georgia.”
Opposition to the bill was based
mainly on allegations that it would
impair the university system. Others
advanced the argument that the meas
ure was directed against Judge Gober
and that other ex-officio members of
the board should not be made to suf
fer because of the opposition to one
man. Opposition to the bill was led
by Representative Moye, of Ran
dolph; Covington, of Colquitt; Pace,
of Sumter, and Brown, of Clarke.
The bill now goes to Governor Dor
sey for his approval or disapproval.
Although it is known that he was a
supporter of Judge Gober in the lat
ter’s controversy with Dr. M. M.
Parks, the president of Georgia Nor
mal and Industrial college the gen
eral opinion is that he will approve
the bill. For him to disapprove it
would array against him the mem
bers of the legislature who support
ed Dr. Parks in the controversy, as
well as the students, alumni and
friends of the Georgia Normal and
Industrial colloge.
The passage of this bill by the
house wrote the final chapter of the
complete triumph of the Georgia
Normal and Industrial college in its
controversy with Judge Gober and
the University of Georgia following
generally. When Judge Gober, Editor
Rowe and Mr. Bower, with the sup
port of certain other members of G.
N. and I. C. board, put through a
resolution last June to take out of
the hands of the president and fac
ulty of the college the admission of
students, and place it in the hands
of the county boards of education
over the state, friends of the G. N.
and I. C. got ready for war.
Hostilities commenced immediately
upon the convening of the legisla
ture. The friends of the college in
troduced a bill to place, by law, the
admission of students in the hands
of the president and faculty, where
they thought it belonged. This bill
passed very early in the session.

EXTRA SESSION OF
LEGISLATURE SEEMS
SURE IT JESEID
Adjournment Will Leave Mil
lion Dollar Appropriations
in Addition to Present Def-.
icit of $600,000
That Governor Dorsey would be
forced to call an extra session of
the legislature to extricate the state
from its financial crisis seemed most
probable Wednesday when the senate
commenced work upon the appropria
tion bills.
, There was every IndSbation that
the adjournment of the legislature,
at a late hour Wednesday night,
would confront the governor with
appropriations aggregating $1,000,-
000 on top of an existing deficit
which has been estimated at §600,-
000.
And these additional appropria
tions on top of an existing deficit
would be presented to him without
the accompanying legislation, desir-,
ed by him, to raise additional reve
nue.
If it is impossible for the state to
pay appropriations made by the leg
islature in 1919, and approved by
Governor Dorsey, how much more
impossible will it be to pay an ad
ditional deficit created by $1,000,000
of new appropriations?
Nothing can extricate the state
from the financial crisis except ad
ditional revenue. This fact is pat
ent and is not denied. Additional
revenue could be raised in different
ways. It could be raised by increas
ing the ta,x rate, or by imposing new
taxes, or by reorganizing the tax
system. All of these methods have
been suggested. The method favor
ed by Governor Dorsey was an in
come tax.
A bill to amend the constitution so
as to authorize the legislature to im
pose a state tax upon incomes, which
would be in addition to the existing
ad valorem tax upon real and person
al property, was introduced at this
session. It passed the house and
died in the senate Tuesday by a most
decisive vote.
But while it refused to pass the
income tax bill, which was strongly
opposed by the bankers, manufac
turers and other business interests
of the state, the senate is not likely
to refuse to pass the appropriations
put up to it by the house.
About $1,250,000 of appropriations
came over to the senate from the
house last week. The senate appro
priations committee on Tuesday aft
ernoon shaved them down to about
$1,000,000. The senate commenced
work on them Wednesday, and the
prospects were that a large portion,
if not all of the $1,000,000, would
be passed.
Friends of Governor Dorsey do not
believe that he will hand over the
state’s financial crisis to his succes
sor without exerting every possible
effort at this time to place the state
on a sound financial footing.
To accomplish this result and
leave the succeeding administration
a clean financial slate will, they say,
necessitate an extra session. Inas
much as additional revenue can only
be obtained by constitutional amend
ment, and inasmuch as the newspa
per advertisement of any amendment
which may be passed must start not
later than September 2, there is no
time to wait, they say.
If an extra session Is called, there
fore. it will have to be called Im
mediately. Governor Dorsey was
not in the city on Wednesday* to dis
cuss the situation, having gone to
Rome to deliver an address to the
Rome Rotary club.

Policeman and Suspect
Stage Dizzy Battle on
Roofs and Fire -Escapes
NEW YORK, Aug. 9.—Patrolman
Patrick J. of the East One Hun
dred and Fourth street station, made
an arrest and locked up a prisoner
late yesterday afternoon in the East
Eighty-eighth Street station, but only
after a series of struggles that car
ried him and his prisoner to the edge
of the roof of a five-story building,
where they hung over the coping
while hundreds of dwellers in near
by apartment houses stood aghast.
Off duty and in citizen’s clothes,
Patrolman Carr was visiting friends
in the apartment house at 168 East
Ninety-Sixth street, when Mrs. Ber
tha Raehfeldt, who occupies an apart
ment on the second floor and had
been visiting the tenants upstairs,
started back to her own rooms. She
noticed a shadow on the glass of
the parlor door and rushed through
the hallway crying for the police.
Patrolman Carr heard her appeal,
and with her entered the apartment.
They surprised a man, who they said
already had filled a valise with S3OO
worth of clothing and was preparing
to fill others. Holding the valise in
one hand as evidence and the pris
oner with the other, Patrolman Carr
started for the East Eighty-eighth
street station house.
At Third avenue and Eighty-eighth
street the prisoner wrenched his arm
free. The policeman swung for him.
They grappled, and as they struggled
the two of them crashed through the
plate glass window of a candy store,
squashing bonbons and sending them
flying in all directions.
The prisoner extricated himself
first and darted through the hallway
of the building, five stories high,
and up to the roof. The policeman
reached the roof in time to see the
prisoner start to descend a fire es
cape leading to the rear yard. He
grabbed him by the collar and jerked
him back to the roof. He reached
for his revolver and found that in
the melee down on the street it had
fallen out of his pocket. Then began
a struggle on the roof in which the
two wrestled and rolled, now on
their feet, now lying prone, from
one part of the roof to the other.
They reached the coping. The pris
oner tried to roll him over it, Carr
said. Their twisting bodies projected
far over the edge. The dwellers in
the apartments to the rear had heard
the sounds of the struggle. They
gazed with horror at a struggle such
as had o?<en thrilled them in the
movies.
Their suspense was ended by the
appearance on the roof of Patrolman
Paul Schaefer, of the East Eighty
eighth street station, C’ho had been
attracted by the crash glass in
the street. He seized the struggling
pair, just as they were about to fall.
Dragging both back to safety, he
“covered” them with his revolver,
whereupon Carr revealed his identity.
At the station house the prisoner
described himself as Morris Gold,
thirty years old, a laborer out of
work and living in a Bowery lodging
house. Patrolman Carr was treated
for a fracture of the nose, a lacerated
forehead and abrasions elsewhere by
Dr. Marino, of Reception hospital. He
went then to his own precinct, re
ported sick and went to his home, at
105 East Eighty-ninth street. Gold
was locked up on Charges of burglary
and felonious assault.

LONDON; Aug. 11.—Fall of War
saw cannot be staved off much long
er, unless the Polish and Russian
delegates agree to end hostilities at
today’s Minsk conference, dispatches
from the front indicated today.
Messages from various points near
the fighting zone, relayed Ber
lin, said the Poles were not serious
ly resisting the Bolshevik! anywhere.
On th 1 } southern front their retreat
was described as “hasty.” At many
points th« opposing armies lost con
tact, due tc the Poles’ swift with
drawal. Red cavalry was scouting
between the lines gathering in con
siderable numbers of Polish strag
glers. The roads over which the
Poles fell back were reported littered
with abandoned war material.
An official communique from Mos
cow said the Russians were advanc
ing rapidly on all sectors. They had
occupied Sokoloff, the statement said,
had forged the river Narew, forty
miles from Warsaw, and were “grad
ually encircling the capital from th*
north.”
Shakeup In War Office
There was a hint of disintegration
behind the Polish lines in the an
nouncement from Warsaw that War
Minister Lenisnowski had resigned.
He was replaced by General Sutnow
ski, and a “shake-up” in the war
office' followed.
A wireless message was sent out
from Moscow calling on the sailors
at Kronstadt, and the red army, to
stand firmly against the entente plan
to send a British fleet to support\
an attack by Finnish troops on Pet
rograd. The object of this strategy,
the radio, said, w’ould be to force the
Russians to retreat from the War
saw front in order to save Petrograd.
Optimistic of Peace
Members of the British cabinet, it
was learned today, believe there is /
a satisfactory basis of settlement /
in the armistice and peace terms
which the Bolsheviki were to pre
sent to Yoland at the Minsk confer
ence today.
The terms were announced by
Premier Lloyd George in the house
of commons during the night aft
er they had been handed to him by
Leo Kameneff, one of the Russian
representatives here.

PASSAGE OF STATE
ROAD BOND ISSUE
BILL NOT LIKELY
, I
As the result of the action of the
senate appropriations committee m
killing the Knight resolution pro
viding for the distribution of the
motor vehicle license tax
among the several counties of the
state, there is apparently little
chance of securing the passage of
the proposed state road bond Issue
bill now pending in the house. There
had been more or less definite ne
gotiations between the senate and
house relative to the passage of the
Knight resolution and the bond is
sue measure, but with the death of
the Knight resolution in committee,
all hope of a compromise disap
peared- . „
Representative Knight, of Berrien,
appearing before the committee late
Tuesday afternoon, indicated in no
uncertain terms that the advocates
of his resolution would prevent the
passage of the bond issue bill. His
attitude was that unless the motor
vehicle license tax fund.were distrib
uted among the counties so ag. to
give the people some tangible evi
dence of the state highway construc
tion program, the bond issue would
never be- ratified by the voters of
the state.
It was stated by five members of
the senate committee that a minority
report would be brought to the floor
of the senate in a final effort to put
the Knight resolution over and thus
carry out the proposed trade with
the house on the bond issue measure.
Even the supporters of the resolu
tion admitted, however, that their
chances for success were exceeding
ly small.
Arguing against tha. resolution,
Professor Charles Strahan, chair
man of the state highway commis
sion, told the senate committee that
its passage would mean the cancella
tion of $8,000,00J worth of road con
tracts already consummated and
disorganize the highway program. In
this view he was upheld by the com
mittee by a vote of 7 to 5
the resolution.
