DAYLIGHT SAVING
CDNFUSESGAPITOL
BY BURTON LEE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 3922.)
WASHINGTON, May 16.—“ Da
ylight saving, Washington style,” is
far form an unqualified success. To
day it entered the second 24-hour
phase. The hands of the clock have
not been set ahead sixty minutes.
Instead the chief government depart
ments, the district generally, and
the majority of the stores, are start
ing work an hour ahead of time to
secure a corresponding period for
recreation in the afternoon.
Considerable confusion has result
ed. Theaters, in fact every vehicle
of night life, operates on the usual
hours. No one is retiring any earlier.
The inevitable result is a decided In
crease in the number of persons late
for work or school.
But it is the housewives of Wash
ington who suffer the most. Be
cause of the housing situation the
majority of servants here sleep away
from their places of employment.
When people went to work at 9
o’clock this worked out all right.
The servants were able to get to
their places of employment in time
to prepare and serve breakfast so
that those of the household who had
to, could get to work at 9 o’clock.
This is not the case today. Many
of the help can not get to work an
hour earlier. Others flatly refuse to
do so. They point out that meals
are not served any earlier in the
afternoon and that all the benefit
they receive is an additional hour of
work.
The same condition holds good
with women heads of households
who have no assistance. They must
get up an hour earlier to* prepare
breakfast for husband, father or
children, and it is almost impossible
to advance the evening meal. The
inevitable result is that the women
generally are lined up in opposition
to the experiment which, by the way,
was initiated at the suggestion of
President Harding, who is opposed
to setting the clock ahead an hour
in the ordinary “daylight saving
plan.”
The department stores for the
most part are opening an hour ear
lier. But their managers very frank
ly say that it is a ■wasted sixty min
utes. It does not attract an early
customer, while closing as they do
at 5 to 5:30 they lose the late after
noon trade which they say has been
extremely worth while.
The plan will, however, be given
complete opportunity to demonstrate
its worth. President Harding made
this very plain to a delegation of
bankers who called upon him to urge
that the clocks be set ahead an hour.
He refused to make such a recom
mendation to congress which alone
has the power to order it done in
the district, and told the bankers
that there would be no change in
the earlier hours until time enough
had elapsed" to afford opportunity to
properly judge whether it was a
good or a bad plan.
The district commissioners want
ed to order the clocks set ahead.
They were told by their legal advis
ers they did not have such power.
The proposal has been made that
they “invite” the district to take
such action. But if they do so they
haye no power to compel those who
refuse to take such action.

Mrs. Dorothy Atwood, society widow who tells how Alfred E.
Lindsay separated herself and other victims from a million dollars.
Widow, Said to Have Been
Fleeced of $70,000, De
clares He Won Trust ‘With
Dominance”
I. C. MATHENY
BY RUTH ABELING
NEW YORK—How did Alfred E'.
Lindsay, former strikebreaker, once
indicted for white slavery, win and
hold the confidence of wealthy and
intelligent women, to the point of
getting control of their fortunes es
timated, altogether, around a million
dollars?
This question I asked Mrs. Dor
othy Atwood, New York society
woman, in her beautiful apartment
just off Riverside drive. Mrs. At
wood trusted Lindsay with $70,000.
And lost it. Her reply was:
“With dominance.”
Mrs. Atwood is a Mexican, auburn
haired and petite. She has traveled
in Europe and speaks four lan
guages. She was left in comfortable
circumstances when her husband
died.
“Alfred Lindsay absolutely dom
inated any company with which he
happened to be,” continued Mrs. At
wood.
"He was not a cultured man. His
English was bad. His figure was
ungainly. He was too huge, too
awkward.
“But he dominated! It amounted
almost to defiance.
“When I met him at the home of
Mrs. Lillian Duke, from whom he is
said to have obtained several hun
dred thousand dollars, I had the
feeling, ‘Now here is a diamond in
the rough.’
Voice Not Pleasant
"His voice was not pleasant. He
was not suave, not finished, but he
instantly began talking and held the
center of interest. He was clever
enough not to talk about himself,
but about other important people.
“As we became better acquainted
he talked of these important people
in connection with his business. Na
turally, when he had been well intro
duced and offered to invest money
for me, I felt it was safe to trust
him.
“He was clever enough to study
a woman’s moods. He knew,” said
Mrs. Atwood, “in an almost uncan
ny way, with an almost phychic
sense, the hour of least resistance.
He knew', without asking, when
things wfre not going just right.
“He never offered sympathy. That
would have been crude, wouldn’t
it?” Mrs. Atwood smiled, cynical
ly. “But he took that moment for
bigger things—for instance, for de
ciding that my jewels were unsafe
in my own house.
“He came in that particular day,”
Mrs. Atwood went on, “and told me
that I was wearing too many jewels,
that it was . unsafe for a woman
alone as I am, to wear gorgeous
jewelry, and he asked me if he
might take it to his safe at the Astor
Where it would be out of harm’s
way.
“I objected. I flatly refused. But
he simply took some of the most
valuable pieces at which he had
been looking and walked away with
them.
Not Handsome Man
“Fond of him?” Mrs. Atwood re
peated the question. “Goodness, no!
He had a red nose, great flabby
jowls, gray eyes which were too
light and too shifty. His chin was
too short. The space from the base
of his nose to his chin was amaz
ingly short.
“Why, 1 think his mouth was the
only good feature he had. i That
curved up a little at the corners and
was thin-lipped, which accounts for
his eternal optimism. One couldn’t
be fond of him, but he dominated
and defied.
“And he was an excellent alibier,
a wonderful fictionist/ gone wrong.
He could tell you in the most con
vincing way that certain circum
stances were preventing any return
on your investment, explain it all,
and I might have gone on believing
for any length of time that all he
said v.as true and that eventually
big returns would come, if his van
ity had not struck a false note.
“He was always very proud of his
hands,” said Mrs. Atwocd, “and
kept them well. His nails were a
trifle too long and too shiny and he
wore a huge sapphire on his right
hand.
“One day, in shaking hanas with
him, my finger closed over that
stone. It didn’t have the clear, keen
feeling of a genuine jewel.
“The nicked, almost pasty feeling
of that stone made me think for the
first time that Alfred Lindsay was
not genuine himself!
“I looked at him,” continued Mrs.
Atwood, “and I thought, ‘Are you
wearing fake jewelry? And are you
like your jewels?”
Why She Trusted Him
Asked why she continued to trust
Lindsay, long after she began to
doubt his reliability, Mrs. Atwood
thought a moment.
“Probably it was because he used
to come up here and cry like a child
when he was in trouble!
“During the periods that he was
getting along well, he used to stalk
around. He was clumsy, too. Why,
he broke this chair! Yes!” she lifted
a cushion out of a handsome corner
chair and showed a seat broken
through, “Yes, he broke that sitting
in it! And he would sit in that par
ticular chair though he knew he was
breaking it and that I loved it my
self!
“But one day—and there were
many similar occasions—he came
utterly broken. He was in trouble
over something he had done with
Mrs. Duke’s money.
“The old defiance was gone,” Mrs.
Atwood went on, “he drpoped down
in the big chair and cried, cried like
a child.
“He threw himself on my mercy,
begged me to give him another
chance to make good.
“Then, after having given him
thousands to invest and lost it,”
Mrs. Atwood was speaking slowly.
“I borrowed more money for him.
“Alfred Lindsay knew when to
stop dominating and put himself on
one’s mercy.
“That,” concluded Mrs. Atwood,
“is why he could continue so long to
hold the confidence of women.”

Mr. Andrew J. Pirkle,
Os Buford, Is Dead
BUFORD, Ga., May 16.—Mr. An
drew J. Pirkle, aged sixty-three, died
May 8 at a private sanitarium in

eral weeks. Mr. Pirkle had been
suffering for some time and only
gone to Gainesville, where he re
cently underwent two operations.
Mr. Pirkle was a highly respected

here for about thirty-one years. At
the time of his death he was in the
hardware business. For a period of
years he was the leading grocery
merchant of this city.
He was a large owner of city prop
erty, a director of the First National
bank, Lawrenceville, and otherwise
prominently connected. He was a
member of the Buford Baptist
church, had been a faithful attend
ant to church for a long number of
years until his health prevented.
He was a member of the Independ

G. 0. P. PROMISES
BBOKEWS HULL
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 16.
“Solemn Republican pledges of econ
omy, of tax reduction, of sound,
stable business conditions, and most
of all other pledges made to the
people before the last election have
been thrown to the wind.”
Thus did Cordell Hull, national
Democratic chairman, who has been
in Tennessee in the interest of his
candidacy to regain his old seat in
congress, flay the Republicans today
in a statement prior to his departure
for the political battlefield of New
England.
Near panic conditions throughout
the country in 1921, following “the
innumerable Republican election
promises of sound prosperity and
, the staggering losses that were suf
fered by every class of voter and
of honest business, have created in
the public mind a deep feeling of
I surprise, disgust and bitter disap
pointment,” Mr. Hull declared.
“Anarchy more nearly exists In
many of the government depart
ments at Washington today than
was ever dreamed of,” Mr. Hull con
tinued.
“There has been no real economy
and we see no tax relief, but a de
ficit of $800,000,000 confronts the
federal treasury and the American
taxpayer for the fiscal year 1923.
“The Republican leadership has
no remedies for our business econ
omic and social ills. They flooded
the country with wild promises dur
ing 1920 and they are preparing to
flood it with the lamest excuses dur
ing 1922—0 r an excuse for every
promise.”
The American people expected re
sults and are not now in a state of
mind to listen to “excuses,” said
Mr. Hull.
“The same set of Republican lead
ers who made the wholesale prom
ises in 1920, only to break each of
them after the election, are not now
entitled to be believed on any politi
cal quections, and the voters will
not countenance the old discredited
crowd when they confront the peo
ple with their long list of excuses
during 1922,” concluded Mr. Hull.

BERLIN, May 16.—Another six
months and Germany will go bank
rupt. This is the view of many
Americans, Germans and others who
know the real business conditions
in Germany. Business in this coun
try is extremely poor at present
and only the most hopeful are
making contracts with the manu
facturers. The reason for this is
that the value of the German mark
has gone up 20 per cent.
When the mark dropped to 350
to the dollar some time ago the man
ufacturers raised their prices al
most to world market figures. When
the mark rose again to somewhere
in the neighborhood of 200 to the
dollar the price of German goods
was so high that the consumers
could not afford to buy them, es
pecially in view of the fact that
there are prohibitive tariffs on Ger
man made goods in most of the
former belligerent countries.
In addition to all this Germany
herself has put exorbitant taxes on
all the most desirable kinds of
goods. Many individual Americans,
who tried to profit by buying goods
at cheap prices in Germany have
been stopped at the border by cus
toms officials who demanded that
they either pay 200 marks duty on
articles such as cameras, field
glasses and jewels or leave them
behind. Gremany, while not having
a protective tariff as such has a
system of taxation which is very
effective in preventing monopolized
products from leaving the country
without having high taxes paid on
them.

NEW EMPRESS OF SEAS
ARRIVES IN NEW YORK
1 —4. I i 1
A-JULJhk.
« kt t •
FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS OR SO, the Cunarder Berengarla
will hold second place in length to the Majestic, as the President
Harding, new name of the old Leviathan, is undergoing extensive
overhauling and will probably not be in service before 1924.
White Star Liner "Majestic,”
Most Magnificent of All
Ocean Steamers, Com
pletes Her Maiden Trip
NEW YORK, May IB—The Ma
jestic, world’s largest ship, was
rolling down from Nantucket to
Sandy Hook today on the last lap
of her maiden voyage across the At
lantic.
Shortly after daybreak, all ar
rangements had been made to give
the new empress of the seas a
triumphal entry to the harbor.
Three White Star tugs, carrying
White Star Line officials, the police
boat John F. Hylan, with a band,
a United State Shipping Board tug,
and several smaller boats were in
readings to go down to Quarantine
to give the 'giant craft a fitting wel
come.
The Majestic, which is of 56,000
tons displacement, is not only the
largest but propably the speediest
passenger ship now afloat. She has u,
record of 25 knots an hour and her
engines still are stiff. When they
limber up her officers and officials
of the line believe she will make at
least four more knots, and, during
her summer runs, lower the trans-
Atlantic record now held by the
•Mauretania.
Probably the first week in August,
when the Mauretania is coming this
way and the Majestic is Europe
bound, the two giants will race. By
that time, officers of the Majestic,
her great oil-burner and her eight
mammoth turbines, each weighing
375 tons, will drive the Majestic at
top speed, somewhere in the vicinity
of 28 knots an hour.

ONCE DESPERATE OUTLAW,
VILLA, TO RUN FOR OFFICE
EL PASO, Tex.—The announce
ment that Francisco Villa intends to
run for the governorship of the state
of Durango comes on the eleventh
anniversary of his capture of
Juarez, when he was a Maerista gen
eral.
In a little more than eleven years
Villa has been a hunted outlaw, gen
eral of a revolutionary army, dic
tator of Mexico, border raider and
rancher. This governorship is the
first political office he ever has
sought, although he could have been
president of Mexico had he so
chosen.
Farm life, even if on a tract of
200,000 acres, is irksome to Villa
after having spent eleven years in
the saddle, with the troops most
of the time.
Although he entered into solemn
compact with President Obregon to
“stay put,” in return for which
Villa was given a small kingdom,
riches and peace, it remains to be
seen whether the former dictator
will regard the contract as a mere
scrap of paper. For among the stip
ulations Villa agreed to was one
binding himself to keep out of both
state and national politics.
Won’t Be Bound
Villa doesn’t like to be bound to
anything. His breaking away from
restraint, his violation of his com
pact, his defiance of the Obregon
administration, coming at the very
time when the United States was
about to extend recognition to Mex
ico, IS fraught with grave possibili
ties.
Villa may be induced to withdraw
his candidacy; he may stay in the
race and be defeated. But Mexican
officials are nervous, for whether
elected or defeated for office, they
fear it will start Villa on another
rampage.
If defeated, he will not take it
kindly. He could do many things in
resentment.
If elected he may want to super
sede federal powers. For Villa is
not content with being an under
ling. ... 11
So there you are—the same old
Villa, same old menace.
Reports from Durango are to the
effect that Villa’s announcement has
caused a furor. There is strong sup
port for Villa and strong opposition,
too, and Mexico is not accustomed to
settling its big issues by ballot. The
state of Coahuila, a neighbor to Du
rango, is also disturbed and the fire,
if not quenched, may spread, for
Mexico hasn’t had time yet to drop
Che insurrecto habit.
Has Bodyguard of 2(H)
Villa has a bodyguard of 200 men,
all former soldiers, faithful and good
shots. He has many other employes
on his big ranch. Raising crops and
stock and marketing them may not
be profitable but they are not in
Villa’s line. He is not a farmer or
ranchman and subordinates super
vise all the work. The ranch, its
many tractors and other farm ma
chinery were toys for a while, but
the former dictator has grown tired
of playing with them and longs for
a new game—and it may be the old
game, a game which kept Mexico
embroiled and which all but took
in the United States.
What Obregon will do is not
knqpvn. Probably be beosa't know
ship before the war, never made a
passenger voyage. She was built in
Germany as the Bismarck, laid up
in Hamburg during the war, and
then sold to England by the repara
tions commission. She then was
converted to an oil-burner, made
more luxurious and named the Ma
jestic.
Loaded as she was today on her
maiden voyage, the Majestic weigh
ed close to 64,000 tons. With the
passengers, crew, oil, stores, sup
plies, baggage and mail, she becomes
the heaviest boat in the cross-At
lantic service.
The liner can accommodate 4,100
passengers—more than the largest
hotel in New York can put up com
fortably overnight. Tnere are 1,245
staterooms 472 of which are first
class. In the second cabin are 212
staterooms, in the third 561. Every
room has electric lightc, 15,000 bulbs
being used. The center of the ship,
unlike most ships, is given over to
parlors, dining room, dance floor,
swimming pools, and libraries with
out obstructions.
There are eight kitchens on the
Majestic, and five special dining
rooms. In the third class there is
purely orthodox ’’kosher” kitchen,
where such food can be prepared
solely for the use of Jewish pas
sengers. There is also an “a la
carte” dining room, a new departure
in service on the ocean.
PRESIDENT ASKS BOARD

WASHINGTON, May 16.—Presi
dent Harding has requested the
shipping board to modify its de
cision, and to retain the name of the

Georgia Peaches
Bring Good Price
MACON, Ga., May 16.—This week
will be a busy one in the peach belt.
It is expected that between fifty
and seventy-five cars of peaches will
move out of the Byron, Marshall
ville and Fort Valley district this
week, according to railroad officials
here. A carload of the early va
riety left Byron Tuesday morning
for eastern markets.
If the weather continues warm
like it has been for the past two
weeks, the fruit will ripen fast, it is
said. Peach buyers state that about
seventy-five per cent of the 1922
crop has already been sold to fruit
concerns. The peaches are being
shipped to different points east and
west and are bringing good prices.
The bulk of the early crop will
be marketed within the next week.
There are not as many peaches this
year as last, but the quality this
year over-balances this. The grow
ers are more than pleased over the
outlook and feel that they will mar
ket their crop this year for a good
price.
what to do. If he orders Villa to
stick to his treaty, this might make
an avowed enemy of him. If he
sends a federal army to compel him
to abide by his pledges, this meanj
war.
A pretext would be all that Villa
would need. Temporizing with the
Durango rancher also is dangerous.
It all depends upon the ambitions of
the former general.
Villa is fifty, young enough to still
be ambitious.

UNDUE OPTIMISM
WASHINGTON, May 16.—Al
though business conditions are on
the mend in this country, the im
provement throughout the world,
and particularly In Europe, since
the war, has “not been sufficient to
justify optimism as to the future,”
Joseph Defrees, president of the
chamber of commerce of United
States, declared here today In open
ing the tenth annual meeting of the
chamber. Laying before the conven
tion, attended by some 5,000 dele
gates from every section of the coun
try, the keynote problem to be con
sidered, “European Conditions in
Their Effect on American Business,”
Mr. Defrees said:
"Hunger and its kinsman, Bol
shevism, still stalk menacingly
across the stage, wars and rumors
of wars are yet in progress, boun
daries are not fixed, governments
are not secure, finances are in tur
moil. Those things that we fought
for, the defeat of militarism and the
safety of our own and other free
governments, have not yet been at
tained. How and when we shall aid,
we who are most powerful to aid,
in restoring stability in Europe in
our own interest as well as in theirs
are, I assert, the greatest and most
immediate problems before American
business today.”
The convention also was address
ed at the opening session by Arthur
Balfour, vice president of the Asso
ciation of British Chambers of Com
merce, who spoke on the economic
and industrial situation of Europe.
