She Atlanta SrMffletWa Snnrnal VOL. XXIII. NO. 16 BMI TIMS THAT WILSOPJ SHOULD OUIT BEFOBETOFTERM "Wilson Is No Quitter,” Is Statement of Joseph Tu multy, Secretary to the President CHICAGO, Nov. s.—Williamh Jen nings Bryan here Thursday suggest ed that as a result of the election. President Wilson resign immediate ly, allowing V ce President Marshall to assume the office. Mr. Marshall, Mr. Bryan said, should appoint President-elect Hard ing as secretary of state and then also resign when congress meets in December in order to allow Mr. Harding to start carrying out his program immediately. The laws regulating succession to the presidency would put Harding in the president’s chair if the pro gram was carried out and Marshall resigned. “The people voted against the Wilson league and for the associa tion of nations, endorsed by the Re publicans,” said Mr. Bryan in an ex clusive interview with the United Press. “It would seem proper, therefore, that the president accept that ver dict and aid in carrying it out by resigning at once. He surely will find it no pleasure in combatting a Republican congress. It would also enable Vice President Marshall to become president for a short time, an honor which he has well earned. “Mr. Marshall then should appoint Mr. Harding as secretary of state and offer his own resignation when the congress meets in December. The laws regulating the succession would then make Harding president and With a Republican congress to sup port him he could carry out the Re publican plan of international co operation.” Mr. Bryan declared that/he knew nothing of any proposed conference of Democrats to plan a new Demo cratic program. “There is no doubt, however, but that there will be a conference when the Democrats have a chance to get together.” he said. “The Democratic party is and has been a progressive party,” Mr. Bry an said. “The San Francisco conven tion did not represent the rank and file of the party. It was under a joint control which had a special interest other than party reform. "This joint control represented three things: * “First—The wets who sought to trade the constitution and the ten commandments for beer with a kick tn it. “ econd—Wall street. and office hold ers.” Mr. Bryan explaining why he did not campaign for Governor Cox said it was because Cox and Harding evaded the liquor issue. “Th wets,” he said, "were willing to concede the president’s platform for a candidate,” in analyzing the causes of the Democrats’ defeat. “They went before the country un der a false flag. “Now that defeat has overwhelmed the Democratic party, its leaders must plan for the next campaign by formulating plans for protection of th? -people against exploitation. “In order that this may be work ed out at once the treaty and the nation’s part in the world’s peace must be settled at once so that the decks can be cleared for world re form.” Mr. Bryan then declared that this could be accomplished by the im mediate resignation of President Wilson, followed by that of Marshall, and Harding’s succession to the pres idency. The prohibition election results from Scotland enthused Mr. Bryan. “That’s doing well for a begin ning,” he said. “It is much better than we did at the start.” Washington; Nov. <5. —“Wood- row Wilson is no quitter,” a sentence spoken by Secretary Tumulty to Governor James M. Cox over the long distance telephone, was taken here today as evidence that the presi dent had no intention of resigning, as suggested by William Jennings Bryan. TAYLOR LEADS IN TENNESSEE OVER ROBERTS MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 4.—On the face of returns compiled by newspa pers from practically the entire state. Senator Harding early today had a lead of approximately 10,000 votes over Governor Cox and seemed as sured of Tennessee’s twelv electoral votes. Figures tabulated by the Memphis Commercial-Appeal from all but fifty of the precincts in ninety-three of the ninety-five counties in the state gave Harding a plurality of 9,977, and showed Colonel Alf Taylor, Re publican candidate for governor, lead ing his Democratic opopnent, Gover nor Roberts, by 37,197 votes. The Commercial-Appeal’s tabula tion did not include Maroin and Bledsoe counties, both in the eastern part of the state. Both of these counties are considered safely Re- BibUcan. Commercial-Appeal totals Harding, 199,759; Cox, 189,782; Tay lor 198.114: Roberts, 160.917. Returns from ninety-three counties compiled bv the Knoxville Journal and Tribune gave Harding a lead of 10,801 and Taylor a plurality of 39,- The result of the congressional races in two Tennessee districts the Third and Eighth—still was in doubt early today. Complete returns from eight counties in the Third district game Brown (R ). 2,275 majority over John A. Moon. Democratic incumbent. Republicans estimated that missing counties would increase Brown s lead by at least 500 votes. In the Eighth district. Don A. • Scott (R.), and Gordon Browning '(D) were running neck and neck, unfi’it was believd that the result ulLzht nnx be known until the official Count is completed. Unnamed Mexican Is Executed for Murder Os American Citizens WASHINGTON. Nov. 4. —Summary trial and execution of an unnamed Mexican, charged with the murder of Arthur L. Mosely and Gustave Sala zar, American citizens, has been re ported to the American embassy at Mexico City by the Mexican foreign tiffice, the state department was ad vised today. Alleged King of Huge ‘Dope’ Ring Caught by Agents Federal Agents Seize SIOO,- 000 Worth of Narcotics When Arrest Is Made in Atlanta Arrests in Atlanta and Jack sonville that broke into the big gest “dope ring” in the south, and the confiscation of., fully SIOO,OOO worth of narcotics, were Thursday at the federal building, by D. J. Gantt, federal prohibition en forcement officer for the gulf dis trict, with the holding under a bond of SI,OOO of a young man naming himself J. A, Jones—a confessed alias —who had a hearing Thursday morning before United States Com missioner Colquitt Carter He made the bond at once. “Jones.” whose real name is with held for the present, lives in At lanta and. has been plying a gigantic trade in narcotics, the officers say, while working as a Pullman conduc tor, running through Atlanta, be tween Jacksonville and Chicago. At lanta was his "district” for the trade; and the headquarters were in Jacksonville, where the other ar rests were made, declare the officers. “This trade in morphia, cocaine and other narcotics—including opium for smoking—has amounted within this year to more than $200,000 in Georgia and Florida,” declared Mr. Gantt. "Our agents, who got into the confidence of this man ‘Jones’ and his associates, were told that narcotics of any kind could be had in -‘unlimited quantities.’ The price was said to be uniform, at SIOO the ounce, for cocaine or morphine.” Drugs Worth SIOO,OOO Thursday morning Mr. Gantt’s of fice was the storage place for a vast assortment of narcotic drugs, said by him to be worth at the smugglers’ price, about SIOO,OOO, “This was the stock in trade of this ‘Jones,’ ” said the officer. “The procedure in his arrest was approxi mately as follows: “W. J. Drautzburg, narytic in spector, was put on JoneS’ track, on suspicion. He gained Jones’ con fidence, and made arrangements to purchase from him SI,OOO worth of morphine' Jones told the inspector boastfully that he could supply him ‘with any amount’ of morphine pr cocaine, also with ‘smoking opium.’ He appeared to be doing a thriving business. “An arrangement was made by Drautzburg to meet Jones last Sun day afternoon at Broad and Marietta streets. Jones told him he had his stock of drugs in a room in a small Broad street hotel; but he did not take the inspector there. C. E. Mil ler was detailed to follow the pair, and be in readiness to help Drautz burg. “Jones took Drautzberg to a down town cigar shop, and down into the basement, where he produced a large box from which he got ten bottles of the narcotic in powder form. Mil ler had followed them unobserved, and just as Drautzburg was passing over an envelope supposed to contain the SI,OOO. Jones was arrested. Offered Officers Money “Jones was greatly surprised, and at once essayed to talk the officers out of holding him. He was well and expensively dressed, and 'wore a diamond stud in his necktie, with various other pieces of jewelry. He produced a bank book, showing he had S6OO on deposit with a local bank, and also a bank roll, all of wnich he offered to the officers, with his jewelry, if they would let him go.” In the “cache” in the cigar store basement, and at the room named by Jones, the huge supply of narcotic drugs was discovered: and Mr. Gantt at once followed the due to Jack sonville, wheer he was confident the headquarters of this “ring” would be found. "Drautzburg, Y. T. Allen and Millr er went to Jacksonville, arriving Monday,” he said. “Tracing the drug by certain labels of J. H. Dup erly—a drug manufacturer of Jack sonville —they found that Duperly nad obtained a job with the Pullman company in the union depot at Jackf sonville. Using tlie knowledge gained from Jones, the officers read-i ily got into the confidence of Dup-, erly. “He was asked if he could furnish as much as SIO,OOO worth of narcot ics. He replied that his stock was low ‘at that time,’ but that he would see what he could do. He urged the officers, as prospective patrons, not to buy their drugs from anyone else, as he was the most desirable opera tor in the southeast. He said he had made more than SIOO,OOO in the last year selling drugs and whisky; and that he was prepared to furnish either in an ‘unlimited supply.’ He said he got his stock mostly from Havana, byway of Key West and Miami.” Two More Arrested The trail then led to a tnan named J. Schwartz, Mr. Gantt said, also at the union depot in Jacksonville; and a purchase was negotiated with him of twenty-eight ten-gram bottles of cocaine and one twenty-five-gram bottle of morphine, at the rate of SIOO. “Duperly and Schwartz were then placed under arrest.” said Mr. Gantt, "and on their hearing were released under bonds of SIO,OOO each, which they made. When arrested Duperly let fall some remarks about a large wholesale drug dealer in New York, who is being investigated now.” Mr. Gantt said he riegarded the ar rests as breaking up the “biggest dope ring” yet established in this section, which was operating system atically and in a most businesslike wav, apparently with plenty of cap ital, and certainly with plenty of stock in trade. The officers say that none of the arrested men is a drug habitue, and that all appeared to be “strictly business” in their dealings.

HARDING SAYS IN FIRST SPEECH MARION, Ohio, Nov. 5. —Making his first speech as president-elect, Warren G. Harding declared at an election celebration of homefolks here last night that the Versailles League of Nations was “now deceased,” al though the new administration in tended to see that the /nation played its part in a new international asso ciation founded on peace and justice. ( Mr. Harding also told his friends and neighbors who gathered around the front porch in a cheering con course rivalling the greatest crowd of the campaign, that he had come through the fight “without an apol ogy or a regret,” and that he would rather not have the presidency than to win it "by speaking ill or utter ing a He.” The celebration, in which many from other Ohio cities joined, was characterized by all the carnival fea tures of an old-time political rally, So great was the gathering that the streets were jammed for a block away and only a small part of those pres ent could hear the speech. In a pa rade past the Harding residence there were many special features, one man leading a donkey on whose sides was painted “Jimmie didn’t treat me right,” while another group carried a dummy corpse silhouetted against a red-fire background and labelled “The League of Nations.” It was from the latter tableau that the president-elect took the cue for the leading thought of his speech. His reference to it started a laugh. Blind Negro Is Held Under Bond of $ 100 On Stabbing Charge It was fitting that a blind justice should sit on the case of Weidner vs. Evans, both blind, in which all the witnesses were blind, too. Judge Johnson in the recorder’s court shut his eyes t o become thor oughly en rapport with the situa tion, arid then bound over John Ev ans m the sumos SIOO to the stare courts for stabbing Wright Weidner. The stabbing was merely a technical name for what Evans did. As a matter of fact, he whittled on Weid ner’s head until thirty-seven stitches had to be taken in it before Weid ner was at all presenable. AH the parities to th ecase were negroes, and it seemed from the tes timonv that the feud between Evans and Weidner had started seven years ago in Jacksonville, Fla., with a lively fight that ended in a draw. Evans and Weidner, begging for a living, then worked |slowly north ward byway of Mobile. Montgo mery, Savannah, Macon and Augusta and finally got to Atlanta, seven years later. On the road it seems they were at least reasonably friendly, and when they encountered each other they were peaceable. But Thursday evening there was a little party at the home of Weidner, at 24 Kerfne saw Alley, and Evans dropped in. There were seevral other blind men and women present; and in the course of the festivities the old war in Jacksonville came up between Evans and his host. Evans told the court that Weidner threatened to shoot him and that tie knew Weidner had a big stick in his hand. “How did you know it?” asked the court. "Felt it,” explained Evans, simply. The carving followed; and the tes timony was mostly to the effect that It was not in self-defense, as Evans asserted. He was bound over to the state court. Farmer Found Dead, His Leg Entangled In a Buggy Wheel GREENSBORO, Ga.. Nov. s.—Coun ty authorities have given up as un solvable the mystery surrounding the death of Mr. Oscar Edmunds, Green county farmer who was found dead at his home here Thursday morning, under circumstances which seem to indicate that he had been dragged four miles when his right leg became entangled in the Wheel of his buggy. When his family went to the barn early in the morning. Mr. Edmunds’ lifeless body was found near his buggy, the horse being hitched to the vehicle. One of the dead man’s feet was entangled in one of the rear wheels, the ankle being broken. A traveling man coming from Bairdstown found Mr. Edmunds’ coat and hat by the roadside. There is considerable mystery as to how the young man met his death. The gen eral belief is that he alighted from his buggy for some purpose, taking off his coat. The horse, it is thought, started off and the young man made an effort to stop the animal by first jumping into the vehicle to gather up the lines, his foot becoming en tangled in the wheel. He was dragged something like four miles. The coroner’s is that Air. Edmunds’ death was accidental. He was aribut thirty years of age and the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Ed munds. Besides his parents he is survived by several sisters and brothers. $1,000,000 Reported Pledged to Cotton Export Corporation COLUMBIA, S. C., Nov. s.—The or ganization committee of the Ameri can Products Export and Import cor poration met yesterday in Columbia for formulating definite plans for completing the orgalzation with a number of members present. The committee by unanimous vote instructed the special committee to proceed to obtain a charter at an ear ly date, and it is understood that this will be done within the next few days. Chairman Alanning reported to the committee that subscriptions in ex cess of $1,000,000 had been received to date and that large subscriptions were daily being received. A tenta tive proposition from expert cotton men was read and the committee re ferred the proposition to the direc tors soon to be selected. The com mittee adopted the recommendation of the special committee, including the co-operative features of the com pany, as follows; ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 6, 1920 BnS CONSIDER HUGE EXEDRT FIRM FDR COTTON STATES Plans for $12,000,000 Cor poration to Be Furthered at New Orleans Meeting on Saturday The projected foreign trading cor poration, which had its incipiency at the recent conference of bankers at Washington, has taken definite shape, and the enterprise will be formally organized at a meeting to •be held in New Orleans Saturday. The corporation will be organized under the provisions of the Edge act and will lend financial aid to the development of business relations between the southern states and foreign countries. Obviously, for jthe present, the chief activity of the mammouth concern will be the fi nancing of the cotton crop, and its operations are expected confidently to improve materially and perma nently the cotton business. The corporation will have a capi tal stock of $12,000,000, fifty per cent of which will bei paid in and from the fund for the’active opera tion of the business. The stock will be subscribed by southern business interests, being allotted to the sev eral states on the basis of cotton produced. Thus Georgia interests will be the second largest in the con cern, since Georgia is the sepond largest cotton growing state. The new Orleans meting was called by Robert F. Maddox, of At lanta, as chairman of a special com mittee appointed at the recent con vention of the American Bankers' association. The committee has made a thorough investigation of the plan for financing southern products, chiefly cotton, and has de termined that the scheme is feasible. The report of the committee has im pressed bankers favorably, and the organization meeting for New Or leans is the result. Among the prominent financiers who will attend the New Orleans meeting are: Governor Al. B. Well born, of the Sixth district federal reserve bank, Atlanta; H. Lane Yound, vice president of the Citi zens’ and Southern bank, of Georgia; Robert F. Maddox: R. S. Hecht, president of the Hibernia Trust and Savings bank. New Orleans; J.

C., Nov. 5. —A riot was narrowly averted at Chapel Hill, N. C., seat of the University of North Carolina, near here, Thursday night, when a body of from 600 to 700 university students halted a pa rade of Republican celebrators from Carrboro, a nearby town, and egged the victory procession. Enraged, the members of the tory parade resorted to strong lan guage and a general free-for-all was imminent when Afayor W. S. Rob erson stepped in and stopped the fun, persuading the Carrboro Republicans to return home and leave Democratic Chapel Hill in peace. The parade was led by Louie Cole Lloyd, defeated Republican candi date for the state legislature. When it entered Chapel Hill close to 9 o’clock it was headed by a brass band, followed by men on horseback and automobiles Assembling in the tow i square, the Republicans gave ve it to their war cries, bringing half the Carolina students on the run to return- the compliment w’ith a Cox salute. The egg-shower followed, and though greatly outnumbered, the Republicans were about to seek sat isfaction in personal encounters, when the mayor arrived. 65-Year-Old Woman Elected Sheriff, Not Afraid of ‘Bad Men’ ROSCOMMON, Mich., Nov. 5.

In the intervals between searching for and caring for prisoners, I will look after my children—two girls and a boy—and the domestic duties in the county jail.” Mrs Johnson added that in case it should become necessary for her "to arrest a bad man, he will know some one has been after him.” The *sheriff-elect gained her expe rience from her husband, who has been sheriff for the past six years, and whom she married forty years ago. ~ Wilson’s First Speech In More Than Year Made at White. House WASHINGTON, Nov. s.—President Wilson made his first public appear ance last night in more than a year when he was lifted in his wheeled chair to the east portico of the White House while hundreds of Washington League of Nations ad herents gathered upon the White House lawn to do him honor. The crowd of men, women and children bearing state banners and the national flag, under the leader ship of John F.

Or rather, the loss of the radium cre ated the consternation, which was very real and very prononnjced while it lasted, which was something over three hours. ’ Science came to the rescue, how ever, 'in the person of Professor J. B. Edwards, head of the department of physics at Georgia Tech. Armed with an electroscope, Dr. Edwards joined the searching party and after a nerve-racking period, discovered the precious metal in a huge pile of soil ed linen that had been made ready for laundering The radium had been loaned to the hospital by Dr. J. J. Martin for use in treatment of a cancer case. Since Grady hospital does not own any ra dium, on account of its enormous cost, several Atlanta physicians who are fortunate enough to possess small quantities of the element have been kind enough to. loan it to the hospjtal for the treaAnent of charity patients. On Thursday morning Dr. Martin’s tiny piece of radium, encased in its protecting cylinder of lead, had been placed upon the cancerous portion of a patient in the charity ward. When it came time to remove the radium the attendants were horror stricken to discover that it had disappeared. Nurses, doctors, orderlies and other attendants were enlisted in the search and the entire hospital was given a thorough going over, but to no avail. A reward of SIOO was posted for the discovery of the little tube and everybody bent" to the task of locat ing the missing radium, not only to obtain the financial remuneration, but to uphold the reputation of the institution itself. Finally somebody remembered that an instrument, called the electroscope, had been invented to register the strength of radium rays. Hurried telephoning developed the fact that Dr. Edwards, at Georgia Tech, had such an instrument in his physical laboratory. He was located and came to the Grady hospital post haste with his electroscope. The electroscope is so delicately constructed that two small needles, which constitute the registering de vice, vibrate violently when the in strument is brought into proxmity to radium. After searching all over the hos pital for about three hours, carrying the electroscope around to the places where the missing tube might have been inadvertently deposited, Prof. Edwards noted a movement of the needles in a room where soiled linens were piled up waiting to go to the laundry. He finally centered his at tention on one particular pile, where the needles of the electroscope show ed more violent agitation than at any other point in the room. Down at the bottom of the pile, concealed in a fold of a sheet, was the vial containing the radium. It had been lodged there when in some manner it became detached from its wrappings on the cancer patient, and had been removed with the bed linens. Palmer’s Connection With Coal Conspiracy Will Be Investigated INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 5. Investigation involving Attorney General Palmer’s connection with the conspiracy case of 125 coal op erators and miners will be made by Judge A. B. Anderson in the federal district court here next Monday, the date set for beginning the trial, ac cording to a notice sent the attor ney general today by court officials. Judge Anderson declined to dis cuss the notice which said “certain matters” would be inquired into, but it was understood that the attorney general had been invited to court be cause of his orders that certain evi dence should not be submitted at the conspiracy trial. These orders, the attorney general has said, conform with an agreement made during the coal strike last year in Judge Ander son's presence. Dan W. Simms, who resigned as special assistant attor ney general in charge of the con spiracy case, has said that the at torney general’s order "cut the heart out of the case.” Scents ▲ copy. $1.50 A XBAK. TENNESSEE LEAVES SOLID SOUTH; G.O.P. CARRIESJMTATES Republican Landslide Gives Harding 401 Electoral Votes; Democrats Lose In Congress NEW YORK, Nov. 4. —Tennessee has swung into the swelling Repub lican columns, shattering Democratic traditions of a "solid south,” unof ficial, but nearly complete returns from the volunteer state showed early today. Her shift from the Democratic ranks, coupled with a similar up set in Oklahoma, reported late last night, gave Warren G. Harding 401 electoral votes as againpt 127 definitely in the James M. Cox col umn and left in doubt three seats in the electoral college, from New Mexico, where Cox is leading. Hard ing probably has carried thnrty-six states. Tennessee, on the face of returns tabulated by the Memphis Commer cial-Appeal, from 93 of 95 counties, with fifty precincts missing, gave Harding 199,759 votes and Cox, 189,- 782, a Harding ’of 9,977. Governor Roberts, Democrat, was swept out on the Republican tide and Alf A. Taylor, unsuccessful candi date for governor against his brother in 1886, was elected. No further actual upsets were re ported from the “solid south,” al though several towns in Florida and Louisiana and several counties in Georgia and Alabama broke prece dents by piling up Harding plurali ties. Congress Majority The Republican . congressional sweep assumed larger proportions as belated returns continue to coms in. The victory of Samuel D. Nicholson. Republican candidate for the senate from Colorado, assured President elect Harding a majority of at least ten in the upper house, and of five states where senatorial choices had not been determined, the Republican candidates were in the lead in four— Arizona, Oregon, Nevada and North Dakota. In the Fifth, Kentucky, Re publican leaders still clung to the hope that late returns would over come the advantage held by Senator J. C. W. Beckham over Richard I’. Ernst, his Republican opponent. The Republicans had secured 257 seats in the house of representatives to 132 for the Democrats and i’ou. for other parties, giving them a lead of 129, with forty-two contests in sixteen states undetermined. Thirty seven of these contests were in states Which gave Harding pluralities or whose uncompleted vote showed the Republican candidate in the lead. Late returns also indicated pos sible turnovers in cases of some Democratic representatives reported elected. A notable instance was in New York, where three Republican candidates reported defeated—Ryan, in the Fifteenth district, Ansorge in the Twenty-first, and Rosedale in the twenty-third—had forged ahead of Dooling, Donovan and McKinry, earlier reported elected. The house will one Socialist member—Meyer London, of New York, who defeated Henry M. Gold fogle, fusion candidate, in the Twelfth. The Prohibition party lost its lone representative, -but an In dependent-Prohibitionist, Milton W. Shreve, was elected from the Twen ty-fifth Pennsylvania district. Several notable upsets occurred in the congressional race—among them the retirement by Missouri voters of former Speaker Champ Clark, of the house, and the election by Texas voters of a Republican representa tive —Harry Wurzbach. Post-election developments within the ranks of the beaten Democratic party included a tart statement from William Jennings Bryan in which he divided blame for the defeat between President Wilson and Candidate Cox. asserting that tne former had “laid the foundation for the disaster ami the latter had “completed the struc ture.” .
