Husband Charges Wife
With Killing Twins;
Strange Trial Begins
HAMMOND, Ind., Oct. 18.—Ac
cused by her husband of killing the
two babies, twins, w-hich he said
were born to her last December, Mrs.
Hazel McNally, 24, faced trial here
today, claiming the missing twins
were nothing more than cleverly
constructed dummy dolls, “mother
ed” by her until last April to satis
fy her husband’s ambition to be a
father.
Both Frank McNally, the husband,
and his estranged wife, asserted
their claims would be proved by wit
nesses called to testify at the trial.
Guided by lanterns and spurred
by McNally’s charges, police dug in
the yard of the home where the Mc-
Nally’s lived until last April, last
night, searching for the “bodies”
they had been told might be buried
there.
In support of her claim, Mrs. Mc-
Nally declared she told her hus
band, after their marriage in April,
1921, that she had undergone an
operation at Green Bay, W'is., in
1919, which made it impossible for
her to become a mother.
“On one occasion,” Mrs. McNally
said, “we inserted an advertisement
offering to adopt a child, but noth
ing came of it. inally, his desire
to -be a father became so acute that
we contrived the hoax.”
Mrs. McNally said she passed the
hint on to neighbors and as the
time approached to announce the
birth, went so far as to engage a
nurse and then purchased two skill
fully constructed dolls.
She said she kept the “twins”
hidden from neighbors until last
April, when she and her husband
circulated the report that they had
sent the children to Chicago.
Mrs. McNally said she left her
husband September 22 because she
“could no longer bear his under
handed tricks and his habit of doing
hateful little things.”
All of his wife’s story. McNally
said, is the desperate defense of a
woman who has done away with her
children. He said he had seen her
fondle them and nurse them.
One of the witnesses summoned
was Mrs. James Griffiths, a nurse,
and a former neighbor. McNally said
Mrs. Griffiths would testify that the
twins were flesh and blood. Mrs.
McNally declared that Mrs. Grif
' fiths would have to admit that the
two forms were only dolls.
Mrs. Julius Latzko, another neigh
bor said to have seen the twins, was
called to testify.

Georgia Delegation •
Leads Legion Fight
For States’ Rights
NEW ORLEANS, La., Oct. 8
The Georgia delegation to the Amer
ican Legion convention is quartered
at the DeSoto hotel and about 300
strong.
With a thirty-five-piece band,
Georgia was accorded the honor of
leading the main parade ahead of
every other state in the country, ac
count of obtaining the largest in
crease in membership in the Ameri
can Legion this year.
Mrs. Frank Fleming, of Augusta,
who is acting vice president of the
American Legion auxiliary, will be
elected permanent vice president ot‘
that body.
The Georgia delegation is leading
the fight at the national convention
of the American Legion against the
establishment of negro posts in the
American Legion in southern states.
C An attempt is being made to
chang the' constitution of the legion
permitting the establishment of such
posts through the national organiza
tion after the state executive com
mittee has declined to grant them a
Charter.
The Georgia delegation is endeav
oring to make the matter entirely a
question of states’ rights, that is
giving each state the right to de
cide whether or not charters will be
granted to negro posts.
I The state delegates to the conven
tion are Rodney Cohen, Augusta,
chairman; Spencer Hart, secretary;
John M. Slaton, Jr., and Asa War
ren Candler, Atlanta; E. E. Cocke,
Dawson; General Paul Malone, Co
:lumbus: R. C. Tyree, J. J. West and
Mike VV hitman, of Macon.
I Through the efforts of the south
ern legionnaires, the western states
have joined hands with them on the
question of state’s rights at previous
conventions.
I The south has co-operated with
ithe west on the Japanese issue and
the west is now showing a reciprocal
spirit and is backing tho south to
.the limit.

Bonus and Rehabilitation
Stand of Candidates to Be
Prime Factor in Election of
Officers
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18.—(By the
Associated Press.) Outstanding
among the developments of today
among the delegates to the. Ameri
can Legion was the announcement
of Alvin M. Ousley, Dallas, - Tex., a
vice president of the organization,
that he was an active candidate for
the national commander of the or
ganizatnon, to succeed Hanford Mac-
Nider.
Among • those familiar with
“chances,” it was generally believed
this morning that the south would
name the next national commander
of the legion, and that, according to
present indications, the choice lay be
tween Mr. Ousley and Matthew Mur
phy; attorney, of Birmingham, Ala.
FORTY THOUSAND DELEGATES
TO PARADE STREETS
NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 18.—To
the tunes that sent them from the
training camps to embarkation
points and foreign battlefields, mem
bers of the American Legion, 40,000
strong, will march the streets of
New Orleans today.
For one afternoon the activities of
the convention will be centered on
one point—the widely scattered dele
gates and visitors brought together
in a common purpose. From the
streets and hotels, where jollity and
mirth has prevailed, from the con
vention hall, from committee rooms
and state headquarters, where poli
tics and policies are being discussed
through the midnight hours, will
come the visiting host to impress
the living by their unity and honor
the dead on the field of battle.
Hardly less important among the
events of the week will be the
morning session at the Girod Street
assembly hall, where policies fresh
from committee rooms will be
thrown in the hopper.
‘Torporrow comes the*-fireworks/’<
were the closing words of Com
l mander MacNider, at yesterday’s
convention session.
Candidates for Office
The reception accorded by the
delegates, to committee reports is
expected to have considerable bear-
I ing on the contest for national offi
: cers. Many large and influential
I state delegations are “on the fence,”
it is learned, waiting to see what
develops. They have no candidates,
and are not proposing any trades.
The “bonus” convictions of as
i pirants for the honor of national
commander are subject to consider
able scrutiny by many of the dele
gates, it is reported.
The annual parade of the Ameri
can Legion starts at 2 p. m. Places
will be accorded state delegations
in the order determined by their
membership increase during the
past year.
Major Allison Owen, of New Or
leans, will be marshal of the day.
Leading the parade will be the
“guard of honor,” comprising four
men each from the navy, army,
marine corps and national guard.
At the reviewing stand in front
of the city hall, the parade will
halt while the reviewing officers
and distinguished guests of the
legion take their places in the stand.
Passing the cenotaph in front of
the custom house, in Canal street,
the marchers will honor their dead,
commemorated by ; the monument
Bands wall be silenced, and the dead
saluted.
Kennesaw M. Landis, supreme
baseball commissioner, will be a
speaker at the morning session of
the legion, in convention hall. O.i
the program also is general Eli K.
Cole, representing Major General
John J. LeJune, who has been un
able to attend the convention be
cause of illness, in his family.
British Guest
Major J. B. B. Cohen, representa
tive of the British legion, will be
a distinguished guest at the morn
ing session. Major Cohen lost both
legs at the third battle of Ypres,
and is totally *rlisabled. He has been
treasurer of the British legion the
past five years, is a member of the
British parliament, and devotes
most of his time to the solving of
problems of the ex-service men.
Among the committee reports
that are expected are those on
military affairs, constitution, in
ternal organization. naval affairs
and finance.
The American Legion auxiliary
will hold a brief business session
during the morning, when reports
of departments and committees will
be heayd. Adjournment will be tak
en at •’noon, when the members will
march in a body to a reserved
grandstand to view the legion pa
rade. Another business session will
be held tonight.

WSO HOMED
BY UNCLE SAM AS
PREMIEIHiTfiTION
Journal Radiophone Is First
and Only Plant in South
east to Win Class B Fed
eral License
The United States government has
officially designated The Atlanta
Journal radiophone broadcasting sta
tion, WSB, as a “Class B” station, li
censed to transmit entertainment on
a wave length of 400 meters.
The Journal station, therefore, J
stands as the first and only broad-;
casting plant in this part of the I
country, and as one of the first in '
any part of the United States, to win I
this significant recognition from the
federal authorities governing wire
less operation in America.
“Class B” for radio broadcasting
stations was created by the United
States department of commerce re
cently as a step toward solving the
problem of an ever-growing mul
tiplicity of stations broadcasting on
the old standard wave length of 360
meters.
To qualify for the new and limit
ed class of stations licensed to broad
cast on the higher wave length of
400 meters, certain specific and rigid
federal standards concerning type of
equipment, technical excellence in
transmission, uniform quality of pro
grams and methods of presentation
must be complied with.
Meets High Standard
Station WSB, after a personal ex
haustive inspection by a United l
States radio inspector who was sent
to Atlanta solely on that mission
two weeks ago, easily measured ui
to the high standard established b\
the government and has received on
of the new licenses, authorizing the
change in wave length from 360 t<
400 meters.
Aside from the prestige given A:
lanta and the south, The Atlanta
Journal’s promotion to Class B will
result in direct and far-reaching
benefits to the station’s huge radio
constituency, both at home and I
abroad.
In Atlanta the benefits will ac
crue equally to the crystal-set listen
ers, constituting the vast majority
of radio fans, and to the growing
army of tube-set listeners, who main
tain expensive equipment for hear
ing distant concerts.
The thousands of households where
one or more modest receiving outfits
give members of Atlanta families alt
the pleasures and advantages of ra
dio entertainment, will now be in
sured of a finer type of transmis- I
sion, and of a consistent mainten
ance of the uniformly superior type I
of program that must be adhered I
to under the previsions of the Class
B license issued The Journal.
Only in Emergency ;
For instance, no Class B station ,
may transmit mechanical music as
a regular or stereotyped feature.
Only in an emergency may mechani
cal music l)e transmitted, and then
only through the use of an instru
ment of recognized merit.
This provision, of course, scarcely
affects The Journal’s circle of listen
ers, as WSB anticipated public senti
ment months ago by eliminating this
type of entertainment almost entire
ly from its programs, offering this i
character of music only as a novelty
for especial occasions when its
transmission' figured as an attrac
tion welcomed by all listeners.
In a technical way, WSB’s crystal
set listeners, or a certain number of
them, may be affected by the neces
sity. of making minor changes in
their outfits arising from the neces
sity of recording the higher wave •
length of 400 meters. These changes,
and the method of making them,
will be explained in detail in suose
quent announcements published in
The Journal and broadcast by WSB
One of the major problems aris- 1
ing from radio telephony’s amazing
growth since The Journal entered
the field as a pioneer station last
March is the increasing difficulty
encountered by tube-set listeners in
singling out one program from the
medley of concerts put into the air
by the several hundreds of stations
broadcasting every night on iden
tically the same wave length, 360
meters.
May Be Easily Isolated
With its new and higher wave
length of 400 meters, WSB’s car
rier wave may be isolated easily
from the rank and file of other
stations transmitting on the old
governmental standard of 360 meters.
The change to 400 meters from
360 meters will be put into effect
by Station WSB on October 24.
This advance date has been deter j
mined upon in order to avoid any i
possible complication on the part of:
listeners and to permit the pres
ence of George A. Iler, The Jour
nal’s radio engineer, now in charge
of Station WSB’s radio booth at
the Chicago international radio ex- 1
position.
On and after October 24, Statio i
WSB will take its place among; I
the selected group of leading Amer-11
ican broadcasting stations recog- ; ’
nized by the United States govern-1
ment as worthy of the classifica-1
tion created specifically for the j
purpose of segregating stations
maintaining only the highest type |
of transmission and programs. a I
federal regulation put into force, 1
strictly in the interest of bettering I
conditions for the mighty legion of I
unseen listeners that now covers
America from coast to coast.

Swept Hardwick Strongholds
Many counties that had been cor*
ceded to Governor Hardwick before
the primary were swept by Judgi ;
George, some of them being counties -
that have for years been recognize-! j
as Hardwick strongholds.
The complete victory of Judg’ j
George renders unnecessary a run
off primary on October 24, as sched
uled by the state executive com
mittee. Judge George has 108 mo-'i
unit votes than he needs to declare j
him the winner in thc~ convention
which meets October 28 ia Macon.
“I am profoundly grateful for the
confidence the Democrats of Geor- ,
gla have placed in me,’’ said Judg’
George wh-m the returns proved hi
sweepin gelection. “I shall serv i
I the state in the senate [to the limit
of my ability.” .
With E. B. Dykes one of his cam- ;
f paign managers;/Judge George re- J

Anesthetic Would Force
Truthful Statements,
Says Southern Doctor-
HOT SPRINGS, Ark-, Oct. 18.—
Criminals can be forced to tell the.
truth regarding their offenses while
under the influence of teopolamine
anesthesia, or, as it is better known,
during "twilight sleep,” according
to Dr. E. E. House, Ferris, Tex., phy
sician, who has asked the indorse
ment of the Medical Association of
the Southwest for a proposed experi
ment on a thousand prisoners in the
Leavenworth. Kan., penitentiary, to
demonstrate his theory.
Dr. House has been experimenting
with the anesthesia for five years, he
told members of the association, and
declared in that period, during which
he had tried the “twilight sleep”
method of securing evidence on u
number of alleged criminals and
othei’s in his own state, he “had nev
er failed in any attempt to rob the
mind of its stored truth.l
