SAVANNAH PLANS
ROYAL WELCOME
FORTHESHRINERS
SAVANNAH, Ga„ Dec. 11.—An
nouncement that the 1921 annual
convention of the Mystic Order of
the Shrine wtll be held in this city
has aroused tremendous enthusiasm
not only among the Shrlners of Alee
temple, located here, but through
out Georgia Shrinedom. The an
nouncement was made yesterday in
Los Angeles, Cal., by Imperial Po
tentate Ellis E. Garretson.
It had (.been planned to hold the
convention in Atlantic City, N. J., but
for reasons which have not been made
public, the big assembly has been
changed to Savannah and the date
fixed for May instead of June. The
exact date will be announced later.
Os particular interest in connec
tion with the Shrine convention is
the fact that Ernest A. Cutts, of Sa
vannah, will be elected imperial po
tentate at th.e coming assembly in
May. He is now deputy imperial po
tentate and according to the estab
lished custbrrj of the order, will be
elevated to the post of imperial poten
tate with the retirement of Mr. Gar
retson, the incumbent. It is believ
ed that Imperial Potentate Garret
son, in settiiag the annual conven
tion for this city, took cognizance
of the fact tiiat Mr. Cutts would be
elected to the highest Shrine office
at the 1921 convention, and in con
sideration of this fact, made it pos
sible for Mr. Cutts to be elevated in
his home city.
There are 8,500 Shriners In the
state of Geongia, while the state has
three temples—Yaarab, in Atlanta;
Al Sihah, in Macon, and Alee, in this
City. The last annual convention to
be held in Georgia was in 1914,
when Atlanta, entertained the Shrin
ers with an elaborate program.
The city of' Savannah has made a
determined light to get the 1921
convention, raising a fund of SIOO,-
000 td be used in entertaining the
Shriners and the thousands of visi
tors who will be attracted here by
the big gathering. A publicity cam
paign has been waged throughout
the country in the effort to land the
convention and the announcement
from Imperial Potentate Garretson
was received here' with intense sat
isfaction.
Alee temple, has a membership of
more than 4,0*00 and embraces prac
tically all of southeast and south
central Georgia. It is exceeded in
size, only by Yaarab temple in At
lanta. Alee is 24 years old and is
\ headed by Potentate S. N. Freeman,
' judge of the. civil division of the
\ city court.
'■ Mayor Murray Stewart, who was
named chairman of a committee con
sisting of the heads of the various
organizations to make plans for the
convention, has called a meeting of
his committee for this afternoon. Pre
liminary plans will be discussed.
The mayor is very enthusiastic
over the prospect of having the an
nual meeting of the, Shriners come
here. He plans to make Bull street a
playground for the Shriners. He says
a street dance for 100,000 people
could be staged on this street.
S. Brown, cf Pittsburg,
imperial treasurer of the Shrine, was
in Savannah yesterday. He is favor
ably impressed with the city.

NEED IN EUROPE
IS STRESSED BY
RELIEF DIRECTOR
BY EDWAED PBICE BEI.X.
(Special Cable to the Chicago Daily News
loreign Service, by Leased Wire to
The Atlanta Journal.)
(Copyright, 1920.)
'LONDON, England, Dec. 11.—W. L.
Brown, director for Europe for the
activities of the American relief ad
ministration’s European children’s
fund, with headquarters in London,
said today:
"Information from our missions in
Austria, Hungary, Poland, Czecho
slovakia and Germany indicate that
the approaching winter will be a des
perate one. None of these countries
will be able to get along without
outside assistance. The situation in
Austria and Poland is especially ba<X
and that in Hungary is not much bet
ter. To provide for the minimum
food requirements these countries
must buy in the outside markets in
spite of their depreciated currency
which will impose an enormous bur
den on them.
“Polish marks are now approxi
mately 500 to the sl, Austrian and
Hungarian crowns about 600 and
Czecho-Slovakian crowns almost 100.
Tne German mark is around seventy
to the sl. Austria is in a worse
plight than ever before. The gov
ernments slight food program cov
ers only January and even this the
authorities cannot carry out. Al
ready they must leave wheat flour
out of the bread ration. A pair of
shoes cost one-third of an average
month’s salary and it takes the sal
ary for two months to buy a suit
of clothes. The American fund for
European children is keeping 300,-
000 children in Austria going with
one full meal ration a day, but the
number of deaths of the aged is
appalling.
"Hungary, once rich in cereals for
export, now has not enough for her
self and lack of coal is shutting
down factories, schools and public
institutions. Hungary faces the
hardest winter in her history. In
the Polish territory, which was re
cently fought over the farmers lost
on an average of 60 per cent of their
crops and live stock and are facing
a catastrophe. ,
“Germany must buy a couple of
million tons of food in foreign mar
kets. The rationed bread is bad and
the suffering among the middle
classes is great. Czecho-Slovakia is
short of certain food essentials
which she must buy in the world
markets. The American Quakers who
are feeding 500,000 children in Ger
many, find that the need is so great
that they are trying to increase their
program 50 per cent and feel that
it should be doubled.
"The European children’s fund of
the American relief administration Is
furnishing one meal a day to about
3,000,000 children in these countries
and is distributing large quantities
of clothing. It also has warehouses
in all the countries named by which
persons in the United States can
supply friends with staple foods
through food drafts. The early set
ting in of cold weather, coupled with
the continued scarcity of food and
faulty means of distribution, indi
cate that the approaching winter
will see the need of the fullest em
ployment of every relief agency if
the people are to be tided over.
“I was struck by the headlines in
a London newspaper of a New York
dispatch, which said the United
States was being invaded by paupers
and that plans were being made for
the exclusion of immigrants. The
dispatch stated that 75,000 aliens had
landed in New York alone recently
and that the public as well as the
immigration authorities were alarm
ed. This fact alone justifies the
American efforts to help sustain the
people of central Europe until they

TO PUNISH MAN
WHO JILTED GIRL,
. CAUSING SUICIDE
NEW YORK, Dec. 11.—Friends of
Miss Betty Tevis, beautiful Ken
tulky girl, today planned revenge on
the man who was responsible for
her suicide.
Miss Tevis shot herself just after
answering a telephone call at the
home of her sister, Mrs. Joseph T.
Talbert, widow of a New York
banker.
Friends of the girl, whose family
is one of the most prominent in
Kentucky, investigated the whole af
fair and today declared they were
convinced she killed herself because
she had been jilted. They ascertain
ed that she had planned to elope
with a man of the "lounge lizard”
type whom she met at the St. Regis
hotel, and who thought she was
wealthy. He wired to Richmond,
Ky„ her home and found that she
was not the heiress he had sup
posed. Thereupon, these friends say,
he telephone her and broke the en
gagement.
The law can’t touch him, Miss
Tevis’ friends say, but they can,
and they intend to so. The man
in question, whose name is withheld
by the family, faces the prospect of
being severely beaten and chased out
of this part of the country, Miss
Tevis’ friends said.

Tax Payers in Cleveland
Walk to Windows
CLEVELAND. Dec. 11.—Tax-pay
ing is to be made a pleasure in
Cleveland.
County Treasurer John J. Boyle
announced today that he would make
the opening day of the collection
season, December 15. a pleasant
ceremony by having a band on hand
to play the tax-payers to the win
dows. The band will be on the job
every day until the several million
dollars in taxes is collected, Boyle
said, according to present plans.
“Paying taxes is not a popular
indoor sport,” said Boyle, ‘and a
little music will help make it
easier.”
What the tax-payers want to know
is whether they will be taxed for
their own fiddling.

HON. E. B. LEWIS,
OF MONTEZUMA,
KILLS HIMSELF
MONTEZUMA, Ga„ Dec. 11.—Hon.
E. B. Lewis, one of Montezuma’s
prominent citizens and bankers, as
well as former congressman from the
Third congressional district, shot and
killed himself Friday afternoon
about 5 o’clock in the private office
of his bank here.
The suicide of Mr. Lewis has
caused widespread sorrow through
out this community. There was no
indication that he contemplated the
act. His financial affairs were in
the best of shape, while his health
was apparently perfect.
Besides being president of the
Lewis corporation, Mr. Lewis was
also an extensive farmer and fruit
grower. He leaves a wife, two broth
ers, Minor Lewis, of Montezuma,
and John Lewis, of Valdosta, and two
daughters, Mrs. W. H. McKenzie, of
Montezuma, and Mrs. Springer Will
ingham, of Macon.
County officials stated that the acts
of the former congressman during
the lagt few days were like those of
an insane man.
The investigation shows trat on
entering his private office Mr. Lewis
found Joe Collins, of Montezuma,
awaiting a conference. The banker
informed Collins that he was "in no
frame of mind to talk business,”
and, according to Collins, the bank
er said “get out, as I intend to com
mit suicide.”
Collins said he stepped to the
cashier’s office and informed Thomas
Marshall, Jr., the cashier, of the
conversation. The latter went to
the banker’s private office and asked,
he said, if he had been called. He
received the same command as was
given to Collins, and had hardly
turned his back when the shot was
heard.
There were two letters found on
the banker’s desk, one being ad
dressed to the banker’s brother.
Minor Lewis, of this city, and an
other to the banker’s wife. Neither
j of the letters was made public.
The Lewis banking institutions
have had no financial difficulties, and
banking friends of the former con
gressman say that both are sbund.
This family has operated banks in
Georgia for years, at Hawkinsville
and Montezuma, and none has ever
experienced financial trouble.
J. F. Lewis, a brother, receiver
for the Georgia and Florida rail
road, came here from Valdosta
Thursday night in response to a mes
sage that the former congressman
was on the verge of a nervous col
lapse.
Work to Begin on
New LaGrange Hotel
LAGRANGE, Ga., Dec. 11.—In
formation has been given out by E.
R. Callaway, president the new hotel
company, that contracts will be let
and work begun shortly after the
first of the year. This project, for
which $343,600 has already been sub
scribed and a $32,000 lot purchased,
has been delayed for some months on
account of the high prices of ma
terial and labor. It is confidently
felt that after the turn of the year
materials and labor prices will have
reached such a point that going for
ward with this much needed improve
ment in LaGrange will be justified.
$2,500 REWARD IS
PAID TWO FOR
MAKING ARREST
KANSAS CITY. Mo. —Here’s a
corker of a detective story, fellows.
And it’s true! It’s still happening,
and nobody knows how It’s going to
end, or whether the villain is really
the villain, or anything; but it's got
a soldier-horse-doctor hero, and a
man-hunt with bloodhounds and air
planes, and more thrills than a Bill
Hart movie.
It’s like this, so far, though there
may be a new chapter before you
have finished reading:
Florence Barton. Kansas City so
ciety girl, and Howard Winter, her
fiance, driving near Hillcrest Coun
try club on the night of October 2,
were shot by one of three men in
another automobile. Winter was
slightly wounded. Miss Barton died
on the way to a hospital.
Private detectives and the city
force were put on the job of finding
ti\e murderer. After a month’s chase
through Arizona and California.
Denzel Chester, 27, blacksmith, was
arrested jn Great Falls, Mont., where
he was lured to a rooming house by
letters signed with the name of a
woman whose love letters had been
found among his belongings.
On the train, Chester was put in
a stateroom. E. E. Beasley, police
detective, sat in the room with him.
Outside sat two detectives from a
private agency. Beasley afterward
said Chester’s handcuffs had been le
moved to let him eat lunch and
shave, and because he was treating
him well to get him to answer ques
tions.
Suddenly, as the train pulled out
of Broken Bow., Neb., there was a
crash of glass, a volley of shots, and
Beasley dashed out of the stateroom,
shouting: “My God! Dennie’s jump
ed out of the window!”
The train was stopped, but of
Chester, who was supposed to have
dived through two heavy panes of
glass, there was no trace save a hat
with a bullet hole in it.
Followed then a man-hunt that
the whole middle west will always
remember. It was freezing weather
and Chester was hatless and coat
less.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail.
Officers' took trains in all directions.
Miss. Barton’s two brothers and Win
ton scoured the country in automo
biles. John Hagan, superintendent
of the detective agency, hovered over
the region in an airplane.
Rewards totaling $10,700 had been
offered. But the prairie seemed to
have opened and swallowed Dennie
(Jh.cs tor.
Almost exhausted. Barton, Hagan
and a deputy sheriff named Ham
mond got a fresh tip, November 19,
that Chester was near Oconto, Ne
braska. It was 3 o’clock in the
morning, but out they went again.
And just then arrived the hero, Dr.
Martin Hanson, over six feet tall,
34 years old, a first lieutenant in
the veterinary corps during the
war. He had been treating a sick
horse all night, and he volunteered
to help in the search.
About noon, Hanson and Ham
mond, driving together, met a man
in khaki unionails.
“How far to Oconto?” asked Han
son, jumping out.
“Oh, five or six miles,” replied
the man.
Hanson’s revolver was already
against his stomach. “Hands up,”
he ordered, and they went up. It
was Denzel Chester.
In the Broken Bow jail, late
that afternoon. Chester tore strips
from his blanket. knotted them
abo.ut his throat, and had almost
strangled himself before he was
found. Early next morning, despite
the guard watching him, he sud
denly stood up on his cot and dived
headlong to the cement floor.
And here, instead of ending, be
gins the really puzzling part of
Chester’s adventures.
Between attempts at' suicide, he
has lain limp, apparently helpless
and absolutely speechless, staring
at the ceiling or the light. Exam
inations by many doctors, including
a neurologist and an X-ray expert,
fail to show any injury from his
attempts at suicide, or any reason
why he could not speak or walk if
he wishes. The doctors believe he
is shamming.
He was carried to the train
shackled on a stretcher. In Kansas
City he is in a steel room in a
hospital, under heavy guard. After
a long period here of helplessness,
Chester made a third attempt a'
suicide. He tried to butt out his
brains on the bars of his cell when
the guard looked away.
Meanwhile, many things have
been going on. It is whispered that
money without limit will be avail
able in the dark places of Kansas
City’s dens and dives, to help Ches
ter.
A police investigation of the es
cape has resulted in the dropping of
Beasley from the city force, the rev
ocation of the commissions of the
private agency, and political semi
upheaval.
Hanson and Hammond have re
ceived the $2,500 reward offered by
the Law Enforcement league for his
recapture. The rest is contingent
upon conviction.
Rival Hobo Leaders
Bury Hatchet and
Will ‘Work Together’
TOLEDO, 0.. Dec. 11. —War clouds
which hovered over the camps of
two rival hobo organizations were
dispelled today when James Eads
How, founder of the International
Brotherhood Welfare association,
and Gus Gramer, grand dictator of
the Social Order of HoboOs, shook
hands and agreed “to work in har
mony together forever for the good
of all hoboes in general.”
How announced today that as the
result of his convention here the
brotherhood has obtained a nine
room house which has been con
verted into "a home for hoboes,” to
Jo& used also as an “employment bu
reau.”
The convention came to a close
today after sessions covering a pe
riod of two weeks. The two fac
tions clashed early in the conven
tion. Gramer asserting that How’s
organization was “usurping the
rights of the regular hoboes?”

PRAISE IS GIVEN
COTTON MEETING
AT MEMPHIS
M
J. J. Brown, commissioner of agri
culture, and L. B. Jackson, director
of the state bureau of markets, re
turned from Memphis Friday with
a very enthusiastic account of the
cotton belt mass meeting held in that
city on Tuesday and Wednesday for
the purpose of launching a movement
to reduce cotton acreage in 1921.
“It was the largest meeting in at
tendance. and the most effective in
the ways and means devised, that
has ever been held in the south',”
said Commissioner Brown.
i “The attendance was larger at the
I close of the meeting than it was at
Ithe beginning. The central commit
tee appointed to keep the movement
I going with Memphis as headquarters
I announced that they needed $10,060
for necessary expenses. The money
was raised in a few minutes.”.
This is not the first cotton acre
age reduction movement to be launch
ed in the south, as Commissioner
Brown pointed out, but it differs
from the others in this respect—
that the bankers are going to take
the lead and regulate farmers’ cred
its according to whether or not they
cut down their acreage.
The plan adopted by the Memphis
conference, Commissioner Brown fur
ther stated, is practically identical
with the plan that had already been
put underway by the bankers of
Georgia. The main outlines of the
plan are as follows:
1. Appointment of a banker in
each congressional district to or
ganize the counties in this terri
tory.
2. Appointment of < committee
of three bankers, three farmers and
two merchants in each county, to
make a thorough canvass of the
county, supported by--.a committee
of three in each militia district.
3. Signing of cotton acreage re
duction pledge by bankers, mer
chants and farmers.
4. Publication of the signers as a
county honor roll in all county news
papers.
5. Making a list of all farmers
refusing to sign the acreage reduc
tion pledge, and furnishing this
list to bankers and merchants, who
will be expected to deny credit to
such farmers.
Throughout the cotton states the
above plan of action will be fol
lowed. Every banker, every mer
chant and every farmer in the
south will have the matter brought
to his attention. It will be the
most far-reaching and effective or
ganization yet perfected in an acre
age reduction movement.
The pledge of the farmer provides
for the planting of not more than
one-third of his cultivated land in
cotton. This was thought better
than a pledge based upon a farmers’
cotton acreage in 1920, for the rea
son that many (farmers in 1920 re
duced their cotton acreage and turn
ed their attention to different crops,
while others increased their acre
age.
Careful calculations made by the
committee of farmers, merchants,
bankers, commissioners of agricul
ture and other well-posted rnen at
the Memphis meeting, convinced them
that a limitation of cotton to one
third of the cultivated lands of the
south next year would cut the crop
at least 50 per, cent.
The banker’s* pledge indorses the
cotton acreage reduction movement
and commits the banker to the fol- i
lowing:
“In furtherance of the purpose of '
the plan I hereby agree and solemn- ;
ly promise that I will confine credit i
extension to farmers and merchants
subscribing to the said plan and
pledging themselves to such acreage
reduction, and deny credit facilities
to all others refusing to so pledge
their support. I further agree to
assist in the thorough organization
of my country and will use my in
fluence to make the movement a
success.”
The campaign among the bankers
of Georgia will be in charge of J
W. Vaughan, a prominent Carters
ville banker and vice chairman or
the agricultural committee of the
Gedrgia Bankers’ association, which
went on record several weeks ago in
favor of the reduction of cotton
acreage next year.
The state department of agricul
ture and the state bureau of markets
will co-operate with the bankers and
assist in every possible way to ob
tain a 100 per cent enrollment of
Georgia farmers.
