BEVERIDGE SUITED
.FOB GERMAN POST
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—America's
next ambassador to Germany may be
former Senator Albert J. Beveridge,
of -Indiana, it was learned here today.
While Beveridge is not an avowed
candidate for the post, his friends
say that if the president tendered it
to him they believe Beveridge would
accept.
President Harding has a high re
gard for Beveridge’s ability. He is
one of the “best minds” at Marion.
The president has had him in mind
for a diplomatic post from the out
set and is said to have offered him
thfe ambassadorship to Japan but
the former Hoosier senator declined.
The appointment of Mr. Beveridge,
according to his friends, has a politi
cal angle that may militate against
the chances of either Dr. David Jayne
Hill, former ambassador to Ger
many, or Ellis Loring Dresel, who ne
gotiated the peace treaty with Ger
many. both of whom have been men
tioned for the post.
Dr. Hill's former diplomatic serv
ice and his political services have
given rise to the belief that his ap
pointment would come when peace
was finally declared. Mr. Dresel’s
success in negotiating the treaty has
been pleasing to the president and it
is known that he desires to reward
him.
The political angle arises from the
fact that Beveridge may become a
candidate for senator against Sena
tor Harry New, of Indiana, a close
personal and political friend of Presi
dent Harding.
Mr. Beveridge has not made any
announcement of his candidacy, but
for several weeks has been going
about the state making speeches and
renewing political acquaintances.

Hardings and Friends
Return to Washington
On the Mayflower
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—Presi
dent and Mrs. Harding and a party
of friends. Including a number of
high officials, returned to Washing
ton today aboard the presidential
yacht, Mayflower.
The Mayflower arrived at her dock
at the navy yard shortly before 11
o’clock, completing a cruise that
started Saturday afternoon and ex
tended down the Potomac river and
Chesapodke Bay and as far up the
coast as Atlantic City, where the
president had hoped to spend Labor
day. A storm off the coast, however,
prevented a landing at the seaside
resort.
The president and Mrs. Harding
had as theii* guests on the cruise the
secretary of state and Mrs. Hughes,
Senator Watson, of Indiana, and Mrs.
Watson, Representative Mondell, of
Wyoming, and Mrs. Mondell, George
H. Van Fleet, manager of the Har
ding Publishing company, of Marion,
Ohio, and Mrs. Van Fleet, Mr. <Rtd
Mrs. Edward Scobey, of San An
tonio, Tex.; Miss Abigail Harding,
the president’s sister, and Director
of the Budget Dawes.
Due to the late arrival of the parts'
and also to absence of other cabinet
members from the city, the regular
Tuesday cabinet meeting was post
poned.
Doctor Returns to Face
Wife Murder Charge
DENVER, Col.. Sept. 6.—Dr. Wil
mer A. Hadley, former army surgeon,
accompanied by W. W. Beverly, prose
cuting attorney of Richmond, Va., and
Sheriff W. W. Snyder, today was en
route to Richmond, where he will
stand trial on a charge of murdering
nis wife, Mrs. Sue Tinsley Hadley in
the Virginia city two years ago.
They left here late yesterday.
The prosecuting attorney has in
his possession a signed and sworn
statement by Dr. Hadley, confessing
that he poisoned his wife and after
weighting her body with irons, buried
her in the Chickahominy river, ac
cording to an announcement by
George A. Fuller, superintendent of
a nationally known detective agency
that located the physician in Farm-
N. M. Dr. Hadley denied to
newspaper men yesterday that he
made any admission concerning the
the murder.
Mr. - Fuller said the confession
was made while Dr. Hadley was be
ing brought to Denver from Farm
ington. He said it was signed by the
physician in jail here yesterday be
fore his departure for Richmond.
No Further Clash
Expected at N. Orleans
NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 6.—Jeffer
son parish officials declared today
they expected no further trouble at
Gretna, just across the river from
this city, where last night one negro
was killed and a negro club room
buyned in a race clash which grew
out of a quarrel originating at a
baseball game.
How the negro came to his death,
or who set fire to the Bull’s Aid,
social and pleasure club building,
where the negroes were holding a
meeting to protest against the action
of certain white men engaged in the
original trouble at the ball park,
has not been determined.
Although a 7strong guard was
maintained throughout the night at
places where trouble was feared,
large numbers of men remained on
the streets until an early hour this
morning when they dispersed with
out attempting further violence.
Urges Understanding
With the Canadians
OTTAWA, Ont., Sept. 6.—A more
compact understanding between the
United States and England can be
better attained through closer rela
tions between the United States and
Canada, Alton B. Parker, of the New
York Bar association suggested in
an address to the Canadian Bar asso
ciation here today.
“In your country, as in mine, mem
bers of the bar are leaders in crea
tion <f sound public opinion,” Parker
declared. “Hence, I have deemed it
appropriate to suggest on this occa
sion that we again take up together
ths effort of closer relations between
cur respective countries which seem
ed so heartily started on its way
when our American Bar association
was associated with the great leaders
of your bar in Montreal in 1913.”
State Departmfent Told
Os Mex Oil Agreement
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—George
T. Summerlin, in charge of the
American embassy in Mexico City,
today notified the state department
of the reported agreement between
the Mexican government and Ameri
can oil companies for a settlement of
the export tax on oil and other pend
ing issues in the oil question.
Definite information as to the ex
act nature of the reported agreement
was lacking and the state depart
ment declined to comment on it.
Tampa Bandits Rob
Knoxville Man of $540
TAMPA, Fla., Sept. 6.—Following
close upon Saturday’s attempt to
holdup a cigar factory paymaster’s
car, two unmasked bandits today
held up W. J. Jones, of Knoxville,
Tenn., and robbed him of $540. The
holdup was staged within twt blocks
of the central police station. |
BANDIT MIKES GOBO
HIS FOOT ESCAPE
TACOMA, Wash., Sept. 6.—Roy
Gardner, train bandit, who escaped
yesterday from the federal prison at
McNeil island, near here, during a
break in which one prisoner was
killed, apparently has succeeded in
reaching the mainland, one mile
away, prison guards and others de
clared today when their search of
the island had failed to reveal the
missing man.
This was Gardner’s fourth break
for liberty, each time under sensa
tional circumstances. He escaped
yesterday during progress of a base
ball game in the prison grounds. Ev
erett Impyn, former Camp Lewis sol
dier serving a life sentence for a
statutory offense, was shot and killed
by guards as he fled, with Gardner.
Lawardus Bogart, another prisoner,
was recaptured after he had been
seriously wounded by rifle fire. Bol
gart was sentenced with Impyn from
Camp Lewis.’
During a tense moment in the
baseball game, Gardner, Impyn and
Bogart made for the prison fence,
Gardner succeeding in cutting the
wire with a pair of wire cutters and
passed through, but his companions
were shot down,
Gaining the Outside of the inclos
ure, Gardner stampeded a herd of
cattle and using the animals as a
barrier from the guards, reached the
woods which skirt the island. There
all trace of him was lost. The guards
set fire to the woods in an attempt
to drive him out.
His exploit occurred in the pres
ence of Heber H. Votaw, superin
tendent of federal prisons and broth
er-in-law of President Harding. Mr.
Votaw arrived yesterday morning at
McNeil island on an inspection tour.
Gardner is thirty-four years old.
He was arrested in San Diego, Cal.,
in 1920, and confessed to robbery of
a mail truck, when $87,000 was
stolen. He escaped from the San
Diego jail, was recaptured and again
escaped, this time near Portland,
en route to serve his sentence at
McNeil island. '
On May 19, 1921, the Pacific Lim
ited, of the Southern Pacific railway,
was held up at Newcastle. Cal., and
securities worth $175,000 taken.
Gardner was captured at Roseville,
Cal., a few days later. He confessed
to this robbery upon urgence of his
wife, who resides at Napa, Cal., with
their child.
While on his way to prison he
shackled his guard and escaped. This
time he was captured at Centralia.
Wash., an<T finally landed behind the
bars, only\to yiake his fourth spec
tacular break for freeom.

; Gompers Attributes
Lack of Employment
To Administration
BALTIMORE, Sept. 6. —When the
American people voted the present na
tional administration into office, they
got exactly what they decided they
wanted, Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of La
bor, told a large crowd at River View
park for the Labor day celebration
yesterday.
“Before that election,” he said, “1
issued a statement in which I stated
the issues that were involved, so far
as labor was concerned, and I said
that the people would get exactly
what they voted for. They made
their choice between the candidates
and parties and they got what they
decided upon.
A year ago today there was scarce
ly a handful of men in this great
country out of employment. There
are more than 5,000,000 out of work.
Who will you blame for this condi
tion? Will you blame the shadowy,
indefinite thing of which you know
nothing, or will you hold responsible
those who are in commercial, indus
trial and political control of our
country?”
Mr. Gompers declared that not a
single bill, so far as he knew, had
been introduced in the present con
gress for the benefit of the working
people; that not a single thing had
been done to protect the workers in
their constitutional rights.
Mr. Gompers charged that the com
mercial and industrial interests were
trying to set up an industrial autoc
racy and in this connection particu
larly attacked the chamber of com
merce of the United States. He also
assailed the operCshop movement and
the general reduction of wages.
Nineteen Murder Trials
* Start in Williamson
WILLIAMSON, W. Va.. Sept. 6.
Factional feelings stirred by West
Virginia mine war troubles were kept
up today when murder trials result
ing from the industrial fight at Mate
wan in May, 1920, were called in cir
cuit court here.
Nineteen defendants were present
when the session began today. The
tvzo chief defendants —Sid Hatfield
and Ed Chambers —were killed in a
revolver fight at Welch recently.
The cases called today were for
the murder of of seven Baldwin-
Felts detectives who fell in a street
battle with Matewan citizens after
evicting striking miners from their
homes.
The first trials last May resulted
in ah acquittal on the charge *of mur
dering Albert Felts, leader of the de
tective force. Indictments charging
murder of the other detectives are
pending.
Troubles expected over impaneling
a jury were believed lessened by the
provision that veniremen can’t be
called from other counties of the
state.
McAdoo, Baruch, Ford
May Be Witnesses
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—William
G. McAdoo, Bernard M. Baruch and
Henry Ford may be asked to testify
when the senate and house agricul
tural commission begins an investi
gation of profiteering in farm prod
ucts, Chairman Syndey Anderson an
nounced today.
Anderson, in a letter to the na
tional board of farm organizations,
said he thought the commission had
reached a point in its investigations
where suggestions with with a
national viewpoint will be useful in
arriving at policies to be recommend

Calm Brings Relief
To Forest Fire Section
ST. PAUL, Sept. 6.—A dead calm
early today relieved the forest fire
situation in the district between
Mille Lacs and Duluth, according to
reports to the state forester’s office.
Between 700 and 800 national
guardsmen were helping forest men
battle flames around White Pine,
Solona and McGrath. McGrath, in
the path of the flames, was relieved
of danger today when the wall of fire
died down about seven miles from
the town.
American Oil Men
Pay Mexican Taxes
MEXICO CITY, Sept. 6.—American
oil representatives have paid the oil
taxes demanded by the Mexican gov
ernment and the government today
feels that the situation has been
greatly improved. The taxes amount
ed to several million dollars.
In some of the transactions the ex
change reached par, closing at 49 1-2.
These taxes were on oil in storage,
and amounted to a production tax.
In the future they will be payable at
three months’ intervals, the next
payment being due in September.

HARDING INDORSES
FARM CIHJP BODIES
“Our Common Country” is the title
of a book just issued from the press
es of the Bobbs-Merrill company. The
author of the book is Warren G.
Harding. The attitude of the presi
dent of the United States towards the
farmer’s movement in America may
be ascertained from the following
excerpts from Chapter IV on “Amer
ican Agriculture:”
“I believe that the American peo
ple, through their government and
otherwise, not only in behalf of the
farmer but in behalf of their own
welfare, and the pocketbooks of the
consumers of America, will encour
age, make lawful, and stimulate co
operative buying, co-operative dis
tribution and co-operative selling of
farm products. . . .
“But of late years there have
sprung up farmer organizations of a
quite different sort —organizations
with a very large membership, with
an aggressive and intelligent leader
ship, and with away of raising
whatever funds they may find neces
sary to promote the interest of their
members. The leaders of these or
ganizations arc learning rapidly how
to adapt to their work the methods
which business men and working
men have .found successful in further
ing thgir own interests. The fruit
growers of the western coast have
become so strong that they are now
able not only to do away with many
of the expenses heretofore paid to
others, but also to influence the price
of their products. The grain grow
ers of the west and northwest have
become strong enough to bring about
many changes they desired in the
marketing of their crops. The farm
ers of the corn belt states are rapid
ly perfecting the most powerful or
ganization of farmers ever known
in this country. All of these are
natural developments in the evolving
change of relationship and the
modern complexities of productivity
and exchange.
“It is more than conceivable, it is
apparent, that we are able to deal
more wisely and more justly with
our agriculture than we have in the
past. Unless we do deal more fairly
there may come a conflict between
the organized farmers in the surplus
producing states and those who in
sist on buying their crops below
production costs. We have wit
nessed the restricted production of
manufacturers and of labor, but we
have not yet experienced the inten
tionally restricted production of
foodstuffs. Let us hope we never
may. It is our business to produce
and conserve, not to deny, deprive or
destroy. . . .
“The need of farm representation
in larger governmental affairs is
recognized. During the past seven
years the right of agriculture to a
voice in government administration
has been practically ignored, and at
times the farmer has suffered griev
ously as a result. The farmer has a
vital interest in our trade relations
with other countries, in the admin
istration of our financial policies,
and in many of the larger activities
of the government. His interests
must be safeguarded by men who
understand his needs. he must be
actually and practically represented.
“The right of farmers to form
co-operative associations for the
marketing of their products must be
granted. The concert of agriculture
is as essential to farms as a similar
concert of action is to factories. A
prosperous agriculture demands not
only efficiency- in production, but
efficiency in marketing. Through
co-operative associations the route
between the producer and the con
sumer can and must be shortened.
Wasteful effort can and must be
avoided. Unnecessary expense can
and must he eliminated. It is to
the advantage of all of our people
that every possible improvement be
made in our methods of getting the
products of our farms into the
hands of the people who consume
them. The legitimate functions of
the middleman may continue to be
performed, by private enterprise, un
der conditions where the middleman
is necessary and gives his skill to
our point welfare. The parasite in
distribution who preys on both pro
ducer and consunrcr must no longer
sap the vitality of this fundamental
life.”
Co-operativs Shipping Conference
Under the auspices of the sub
committe of co-operative marketing
of the farmers’ live stock marketing
committee of 15. a conference on the
organization and management of co
operative live stock shipping asso
ciations will be held in Chicago on.
September 2. The live stock pro
ducers of each state will send rep
resentatives to outline specifica
tions for the ideal shipping associa
tion.

Home Nursing
And Health Hints
An Apple Drink
BY M. JESSIE X.EITCH
The young man who was full of
resentment because Fate had seen
fit to prostrate him with some
kind of low, obscure fever after
his simply marvellous trip around
the world, glanced about his white
enamelled, ijickel-plated, shining
glass surroundings and jerked at
the bed clothes impatiently.
“I loathe and despise hospitals,”
he said.
The nurs'e who sat in a stiff-back
ed chair near l?y, attempting to un
tangle some crochet cotton, looked
up pleasantly. *
“Really?” she said. “Te]l me
about it.”
The young man wriggled an im
patient foot and with a masterly
lunge freed the sheets that had
been so neatly tucked in at the foot
of the bed. The nurse said nothing.
Unpleasant Frame of Mind ,
“In a minute you will come and
tuck in the sheets all over again,
in that hateful squared-envelope-flap
effect that you spend your life
learning how to do.” The young man
was in a decidedly unpleasant frame
of mind, and as h espoke he almost
wished the nurse would say some
thing horrid. Certainly his words
were provoctaive.
“Tell me why you hate us and
our hospitals,” insisted the nurse.
The young man had the grace to
blush.
“I don’t hate you. I mean—not
exactly. That is—some of you are
awfully nice.”
“What do you want me to say. 2
I am sure you w r ant me to steal
something for you out of the Ice
box.” The nurse arose, as she spoke,
and proceeded to tuck in the sheejs
at the foot of the bed, neatly and
in the despised envelope-flap ef
fect.
“Now do please try to keep It
nice and smooth until the doctor
has made rounds, (anyway,” she
said.
Desperate for an Apple
“The fact is, as you have un
doubtedly guessed, I am hungry. I
warft an apple. I want a dozen big
red juicy-—-oh—wow! What’s the
use? I tell you I’m simply desper
ate for an apple!” And the boy
pulled the bedclothes over his head
to th© eternal detriment of the
neatly tucked in sheets.
“Why didn’t you say so in the
first place, instead of abusing my
nobl.o profession?” murmured the
smiling nurse, and jvith a little rus
tle of starched skirts she disap
peared.
“Gee, I guess I made her mad,”
mused the young man, peering from
the muffling sheets at the empty
As a matter of fact, the nurse
went at once to the diet kitchen,
where she busied herself with an
apple and an apple corer and a big
blue earthenware pitcher.
The apple she washed and wiped.
Then she removed the core. Plac
ing it in the empty pitcher, she
added two tablespoonfuls of white
sugar, one tablespoonful of lemon
juice and one cup of boiling water.
She covered the pitcher tightly and
set it aside.
Finds the Drink Good
When the contents had cooled,
she stirred the mixture, and strain
ed it into a glass. She set it in the
icebox till it was cool, without be
ing chilled, and carried it to the
boy’s bedisde. He was really a very
nice youth, though hopelessly
spoiled.
“What is it? I know I don t want
it,” he began.
“It’s the next best thing to a
real apple. They call it apple wat
er, and it really tastes rather good.
But ,of course, if you don’t want
it there’s a little boy in the chil
dren’s ward who might—” the nurse
spoke reflectively and started to
ward the door.
“I’ll try it. Apple water? Never
heard of it.” .
The lad took a sip, a gulp, drained
the glass.
“When can I have some more.' ■
he said.

timate friends, each stoutly denied
all knowledge of the marriage of the
other. Both couples .were married
by the Rev. Frederick Quimby.

tered into a ocntract with the former
June 4, 1920, by w'hich the defend
ant company is said ti have pur
chased 450 barrels of sugar for fu
ture delivery at 26 cents per pound.

slump in price, and this sum is
claimed.
