Bell, of 15 Vanira street, an Atlanta policeman, was held Wednes day under $3,000 bond on disorderly conduct charges. It is charged that while under suspension from the force, he used the insignia of the police in an attempt to defraud H. H. Lane, a bookkeeper for the A. L. Bell Isle Taxicab company. According to the police, Bell was suspended one week ago on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer. He was directed by Chief Beavers to turn in all of his badges and revol vers, but is said to have retained the insignia on his, cap. Early Tuesday night, according to the police, Bell approached young Lane, who was 'with a lady near QZant park. Bell, it is said, was at tired in a police uniform, with a badge on his cap. He is said to have told Lane and the lady they were under arrest for "disorderly con duct,” and that he would have to take them to the police barracks un less they posted a cash bond of sl6 each. ' 1 Trap X® Xaid Lane is said to have told the sus pended officer that he did not have $32 with him, but that he would re turn with the money at any hour suggested by‘Bell. According to the officers, Bell then told Lane to re turn with the money before mid night. Lane is said to have called the Belle Aisle taxicab offices and re ported the affair. Mr. Belle Aisle then communicated with the police. Officers McWilliams and Fain were dispatched to Grant park, and Officer McWilliams exchanged clothing with -Lane. Shortly before midnight. Officer McWilliams said, he whistled, and Bell promptly 'walked up to him. "You are not the same man who was to meet me here,” Bolle is said to have remarked. "No, but I came in his place, and you are under arrest,” Officer -McWil liams replied, and brought Bell to police barracks, where he was held under bond 4 of $3,000.

Jackson, a well-known Atlanta lawyer. When asked about this report. Governor Dorsey declined to confirm or deny it. He did, however, make the remark that he had in his pos session certain affidavits made by certain members of the legislature concerning . offers alleged to have been made to them to vote in fa vor of the bill to create the new county of Lamar with Barnesville as the county site. These are the affidavits obtained by Representative S. S. Barrett, of Pike county, immediately following the last session of the legislature. Lamar county will consist of por tions cf Pike and Upson countiefs. As the representative of Pike county. Mr. Barrett fought the new county in the legislature. His fight failed and the bill passed. He was plan ning to inaugurate court proceedings to prevent the bill, which was, like all new county bills, in the form of a constitutional amendment, from being submitted to the people in gen eral election. These steps were not taken, however, and the creation of Lamar county was ratified on No vember 2. Those affidavits obtained by Rep resentative Barrett were laid before the governor at that time, and are in . the governor’s possession at the .present time. The governor declined to discuss the report that he in tended to turn the affidavits over to Solicitor General John A. Boy kin, of the Fulton superior court, wih a requee for a grand jury in vestigation. ' Neither would he make any comment on the report that he might call an extra session of the legislature for the purpose of such an investigation. Hearsay Evidence Both reports, however, were cur rent in the capital, and there was reason to believe.that they were well founded. It was understood on re liable authority that the governor has heard much talk of large "cam paign funds!” being used in connec tion with movements for the Crea tion of new counties. Solicitor Boykin was making a study Wednesday of the charges contained in the last issue of the Municipal League bulletin. It was indicated that he might request Mr. .Jackson to furnish him all the in formation in his possession concern ing the charges and the basis for their publication. In his editorial Mr. Jackson does not claim to be able to prove his charges. He admits that they are based upon hearsay evidence, but de clares his belief that they are true. His charges, in substance, are that there is a well established lobby headq.uarters in an Atlanta hotel, that this lobby engages in the busi ness Os promoting new county move ments and using money io put the bills through the legislature, that the\lobby does r»ot control a major ity of the house or senate, but con trols a minority v.ho are able to exp ert a strong influence in naming the speaker of the house and president of the senate, and through them the naming of important committees, and through the committees, to ex ert a strop.v fntluer.ee upon the prog ress of bills which the authors are anxious to pass, thus coercing them to vote for new county bills in order to expedite their own bills. Mr. Jackson says . "it is ..common report that the .creation of new counties has become an established business with a regular scale of prices which are said to range from SIO,OOO to $50,000 per new county.” Two Years Away BT EDMUND VANCE COOKE Armistice day Two years away.

ATLANTA, GA., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1920. Marriageby Correspondence, Delayed by Bridegroom, Is Finally Consummated : flK' Liiiiiii. J. D, STRICKLAND AND MISS CASSIE HOLDAWAY—now Mrs. Strickland —never saw each other before they met in Atlanta to get married, and Mr. Strickland didn’t get hie fiancee’s telegram, at the end of the “correspondence courtship,’’ and was lamentably late for his wedding, while the bride-elect was the guest of the po lice matron. ♦ Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Strickland— the latter very recently Miss Cassie Holdaway—probably are about reach ing their home in Phenix City, Ala., after a wedding in Atlanta to which the city police and the Travelers' Aid department contributed materially. Miss Holdaway arrived in the city Sunday afternoon and dissolved in tears at the Terminal station, owing to the absence of Mr. Strickland. "I wired 'him to meet me here, right at this time,” she informed the sympathetic Travelers’ Aid bureau.’ “T live in. Bristol, Va. I’m eighteen years old and I’m going to marry Mr. Strickland. We never have seen each other, but here’s his photograph —and he has mine. We got to cor responding through mutual friends. He asked me to set the date for him to meet me in Atlanta, and 1 tele graphed him. and here *1 am.

W. GALBRAITH, JR. A National Commander, American Legion The swift triumph of our arms and those of our gallant allies which two years ago gave us the victory, the anniversary of which we observe today, marks the high-light of the present century in American affairs. Victories such as Armistice Day commemo rates are not the issues solely of clashes of flesh and steel. They have a finer quality than that. They are the triumphs, as well, of an unconquerable spirit. I, No victory, however complete, long can survive the spirit that conceived it. The annals of man kind are replete with example; splendid triumphs in behalf of splendid causes that have gone for naught because the spirit that made them ceased to endure. This is only the second anni versary of Armistice Day—a day destined, if we will, to keep com pany with the immortals of the calendar which mark great mo ments of history that shall never die. Succeeding generations will acclaim Armistice Day. God grant they always shall acclaim it in the spirit that made it, and that this spirit, like the day, shall be imperishable. * With this prayer in our hearts let us renew each year our vows of fealty, repledge and keep un shakable ' our faith in the high ideals, the lofty purposes, the un- selfish aspirations and exalted, holy hopes that fired the hearts of Americans in 1918 and made ours a land from whence crusaders came, with souls a-flame, worthy of their victory. To this end the American Legion today and forever solemnly pledges its all. Two Sinn Feiners Killed by Police Raiding Ambush LONDON, Nov. 9. —Two Sinn Fein ers were killed at Ardfert, Ireland, last night when police broke up an ambuscade, the Irish office announced today. <■ telegraphed her apparently recalci trant fian<&. It developed that Mr. Strickland had not received the telegram from his sweetheart and was’ anxiously awaiting her answer. He got 4 . the wire from the police, and didn’t wait for a train —he jumped in his auto mobile and his route to Atlanta was marked by clouds of dust. At 2 o’clock Monday afternoon, the groom-elect, dusty and anxious, rushed into the police station. “Is she here —where is she?.” he demanded. As soon as it was made known who "she” was, the chief informed him that “she” was waiting for him in the matron’s ward. Mr. Strick land tried to embrace the chief, who evaded his grasp with some, dignity, not to say sternness, and then dashed to the matron’s ward, in which ro mantic spot he first be held his bridfe to-be. Both were delighted. In a very few minutes they had completed ad dresses of thanks to Chief Beavers and were on their way to Judge A. A. Owens at the courthouse, who per formed the ceremony in his best J. P. manner, and soon thereafter th6 happy pair embarked in the dusty automobile on their honeymoon trip to Phenix City. 1 Negro Laborer Makes More Than Professors; Only $l4B Last Week DUQUOIN., Hl..

METHODISTS MEET IN ANNUAL SESSION; MANYJELEMTES Bishop Candler Opens Con ference With Strong Ap peal Dr. Fraser Asks Character Investigation With lay and ministerial delegates present from practically every Meth odist church in north Georgia the annual session of the north Georgia conference of the Methodist Episco pal church, south, opened in Wes ley Memorial church Wednesday morning with Bishop Warren A. Can dler presiding. The conference will continue in sessoln through Monday. The opening, session was devoted largely to devotional exercises, the selection of conference officers and committees, and reports of presiding elders and superannuates. Towards the close of the morning session Dr. B. F. Fraser, pastor of Wesley Me morial church, and one of the best known members of the conference, arose to a point of personal privilege and asked that his character be re ferred to a committee for investiga tion. "I arise to a point of personal, privilege,” said Dr. Fraser. "I had a local minister come in from Texas to be superintendent of our Sunday school. He did not seem to enter into the work very satisfactorily, and he told the presiding elder and various church members that either he or I must move. He seemed to think that he had a contract with me. to stay here more than one year, and when the quarterly conference elected an-' other superintendent in his plac§ he wanted me tried for lying. I want to ask that the conference refer this matter to a committee so that his charges may be gone into fully. I ask this because I welcome an in vestigation.” The superintendent to whom Dr. Fraser referred was J. D. Swagger ty. Dr. Fraser said that Mr. Swag gerty’s work had been entirely un satisfactory, and that when a change was made for the good of the church, false rumors were circulated to the effect that the cburch was violat ing the contract, and that he natur ally wanted an investigation, which, he said, would result in his complete vindication. The committee appointed by Bishop Candler to investigate the Fraser matter, consists of Rev. S. P. Wig gins, Rev. M. L. Under Wood anß Rev. W. T. Hamby. Resignations as members of the Wesleyan Christian Advocate board of trustees were submitted by Judge H. E. W. Palmer and by Governor Joseph A. McCord, of the federal reserve bank. Their successors will be elected Friday morning. , Governor McCord, in his letter to the conference, took • occasion ,to praise the work of Dr. R, F. Eakes, retiring business manager of the Ad vocate. Session Opens The opening of the conference was characterized by much of the religious fervor of an old-time Methodist love feast. Men taking part came from the most prosperous of city churches and from circuits where the income of the preachers is barely sufficient to provide them with necessities. There were young men jwjt out of college. There were deaf, old men and feeble superannuates who looked toward reward after death with boy ish enthusiasm and who seemed al most glorified when they spoke brief ly as theii names were called. Bishop Candler conducted the de votional, exhorting the preachers not to be conformed to world but transformed by the renewal of their lives. He warned them not to yield to the “shifting worldly spirit” and not to resort to so-called modern methods to "hold” people. "Put away everything that sug gests we are of ttte world,” he said. “Show that we are men of an* abid ing, changeless world. ‘The titles of Sunday sermons you see in the Saturday afternoon papers remind me of the table of contents of 'Current Topics.’ Bishop Candler’s Remarks "I’d rather have three people who want to Jiear the gospel than a gap ing world of the curious. "Why don’t some of these fellows get an organ-grinder and axjmonkey and’ announce that they wll appear ,4n church? The preacher would have np standng room. He also would have no standing with decent people. Rededicate yourselves, brethren, to the gospel of God.” At the close of the bishop’s re marks the three Misses Wisdom, evangelistic singers of Missouri, sang “Amazing Gface,” the confer- XConttnnad on Page 7, Column 5) America Honors Former Fighters On Armistice Day SHEPARD’S WIDOW IS EXPECTED TO CONTEST WILL PERRY, Ga., Nov. 10.—Efforts will be made here next week to pro- Jute the will of Mr. Fred D.' Shep ard, the Fort Valley peach ■ grower whose body was exhumed by court order last Saturday, the viscera be ing sent to Atlanta for examination by a chemist to determine whether Mr. Shepard’s death was due to poi soning. According to the terms of the will, Mr. Shepard’s widow, who married Dr. F. E. Elmer, of Jacksonville, shortly after her husband’s death, was to receive SIO,OOO and SIOO a month as long as she lives. After Mrs. Elmer is alleged to have given out a statement in Jacksonville de claring that the signatures to the will were forgeries and that she wtiuld contest the document, three affidavits were filed with Ordinary I. T. Woodward here Tuesday certi fying the will’s genuineness. The af fidavits are by J. W. Bloodworth, an attorney of Perry, who drew the will, and W. L. Henry and his wife, who claim to have been witnesses to the signing of the will. Mrs. Henry is a sister of Mr. Shepard’s widow. The affidavits set forth that not only is the signature at tached to the will that of Fred D. Shepard, but also that the document was signed voluntarily. The will was filed for probate in the ordinary’s court of Houston county by Mrs. Alice Crandall, Mr. Shepard’s sister, who received • the will October 26 in an anonymous let ter. Up to that time, Mrs. Elmer, knowing of no will, had had com plete charge of the administering of the estate. Mr>. CrandaU, her chu dren, and Mrs. Elmer’s son, the step son of Mr. Shepard, are the princi pal beneficiaries under the will. Mrs. Elmer and Dr. Elmer, accord to a statement given out by her at torney in Jacksonville, is now on a visit to the home of her brother on the coast. Fanners ‘Threaten Selling Company To Fix All Prices BOSTON, Nov. 11. —The estab lishment of “nation-wide selling or ganizations which shall fix the price of farm products” if the farm er’does not receive “the same pay for the same hours of work that others receive,”, was-'Predicted to day of Shernian J. Lowell, of Fredonia, N. Y., master of the Na tional Grange of the Patrons of Husbandry, in opening the annual convention of the grange. “We are willing to have a fair • understanding of values, the f ai ?P' ers receiving the same pay for tne the same hours work that others re ceive, no more, no less, hut we feel that this is the last call, ’ "he said “lf no attention is paid to this now by bankers, manufacturers. rail roads and labor organizations, and if the government continues to use its great power to import raw ma terial free of duty to reduce costs, then the grange will be the first to help, organize nation-wide selling or ganizations" which shall fix the price of farm products. "There is no threat in this, we will have ben driven to it/in self defense to preserve our agriculture. "This condition is repugnant to us all. We desir® no class regula tions or class divisions; we desire to labor for humanity and to bo able to keep the earth fertile, always bringing fo-t.h its harvest suf ficient to feed the increasing mil lions of our people. It is no sma ‘l task, however, and it can only be safely done by a proper apprecia tion of this task by our urban popu- Lowell rejoiced that labor has been able to secure a much higher rate of wage, but added: "We little expected that they would turn and demand cheaper food from us without first ascertaining the cost of production, and thereby prbving whether or not we we-ye taking too large a margin of profit. The national master declared that the great changes that have taken place since the beginning of the war have been to the disadvantage of agriculture and many laws and rulings of our national government have proven of injury to the farm 1 er “We have searched faithfully to find one law or ruling to our ad vantage and failed to find it. We have urged for a fair show, but all our efforts have met with a like fate.” Mr. Lowell said the recast, census showed a net decrease of 100,000 farms in seven states —New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, In diana, Michigan and West Virginia— and he charged that the attitude of the men in legislative halls and departments of government was re sponsible to a large degree for this condition. “So long as we remain passive , this state of affairs will continue,” he declared. Concerning taxation, he said: "There is but one equitable form of taxation and that is when' every form of wealth pays its just pro portion of taxes. There is. no tax more just than an income tax, for it is never a charge against any one has not the means to pay." 5 CENTS A COPY. $1.50 A YEAR. Celebration in All Cities and Communities of Nation Mark Second Anniversary of War’s End America, along with almost all the rest of the world, is celebrating Armistice Day .today. Just two years ago the Hun sur rendered the sword that had run red with ciyjYization’s blood through four yearKof misery and fear. No date on mankind’s calendar overshadows November 11, 1918. And as the years roll by, its anni versaries ought to mean more and more. Just as the Fourth of July com memorates the birth of a nation to Americans, so should November 11 memoralize the re-birth of a world to all the world. The two years that have passed since the ’ last fighter died on the eleventh Hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, have so brimmed over with turbulence that It' is difficult to realize that the 1 wal 3 of war still seethes. It may look like many Americans died for nothing. It may seem that the glory of a righteous victory has faded. ' • But the truth can’t be dodged. Bestial ambition was beaten. Decency won. The world is better off. In the tempestuous interlude that divides the patriotic sacrifice of uninvited war from the re-estab lishment of ordinary ways of living. , it is easy to forget many vital things. The men who fought and woq the war should be uppermost in the minds of Americans today. They who the uniform, who submitted to the military yoke, who risked their liberty for the sake of liberty, who altered their lives to fill the need of their country and the right—they are the heroes of Armistice day. It really makes little difference whether they lived or died. Whether ’ they fell in action. Whether they came back scarred or ' unscathed, whether they were de nied. the chance to go over—it makes little difference. They were all willing. ", More than four million Americans took up arms for America. And America’s strength turned a wave of defeat into a tide of victory. Arms and uniforms have been laid * aside. The young men who used and wore them are now clerking in stores, following the plow, practic ing law, selling goods, building buildings, mining coal, running trains, writing books, teaching schools, adding figures, setting type, treating patients, driving trucks, idling, or otherwise prosaicly con ducting themselves. But wherever they may be or whatever they are doing Armistice day is theirs/ They ended the Ho henzollern d r eam. They stopped war. In Atlanta, in Georgia, In the south and all oyer the United States. Armistice day will be observed. And the major part of the thankfulness and the rejoicing and the prid® of the day w’ill be to the credit and glory of the Wien who so lately wgre America’s champions in combat. Uncle Sam today bows In humble gratitude to the one-time A. E. F., to the American Legion, to all those valiant young Americans who con tributed to the victory of justice and democracy. % Candy Maker Burned By Boiling Mixture When Kettle Explodes W. M.
