DR. JACOBS NOW SEEKS
PERMISSION OF BRITONS
TO TRANSPORT OGLETHORPE
CRANHAM, England, Oct. 11.—
Having definitely located the bodies
of General James E. Oglethorpe and
his wife under the chancel of the
parish church here, Dr. Thornweli
Jacobs, president of Oglethorpe uni
versity, today began preparation of
his petition for permission to remove
the bodies to America for permanent
enshrinement in Atlanta.
Before this permission can be
granted the chancellor of the diocese
will have to ascertain whether there
is any objection on the part of the
members of the Cranham parish,
which comprises less than 500 per
sons. While one or two residents
have already expressed opposition
to disturbance of the bodies, it is
not thought any serious or concerted
movement against their transfer will
be made.
In supporting the petition for re
moval, Rev. Leslie Wright, rector
of the parish, said today:
“It seems to me it would very un
like the motherly instinct of old
England to refuse to give from the
vasts treasures of her might dead
the sacred dust of this one great son
who carried across the seas and
planted so firmly in far off Georgia
the ideals and principles for which
England herself stands today.”
Dr. Jacobs said today that more
than $300,000 had been subscribed
for the erection of the shrine on the
campus of Oglethorpe university in
which the eneral’s body will be
placed. The shrine will take the
form of a tower similar to that at
Corpus Christi college, Oxford, where
General Oglethorpe was a student,
and it is hoped, Dr. Jacobs added,
that it will constitute a center of in
terest for Anglo-Saxon patriotism in
the southern nart of the United
States, where the population is so
largely of British extraction.
Dr. Jacobs Moved
Before the tomb was sealed this
afternoon preparatory to the further
legal and ecclesiastical formalities,
Dr. Jacobs paid a second visit to the
mortuary chamber, descending by
EIGHT CHILDREN DIF
JS SPEEDING TRAIN
STRIKES SCHOOL DOS
ATWATER, Ohio, Oct. 11.—Eight
children were killed and several in
jured today when a bus crowded with
school children was demolished by
“The Clevelander,” the fastest train
on the Pennsylvania l railroad be
tween New York and Cleveland.
The accident occurred at Lam
bert’s Crossing, a short distance from
here.
Calls were sent for doctors and
nurses for miles around.
The engineer of the train saw the
vehicle rate to jam the brakes.
A second later there was a terrific
crash.
The children, some instantly killed, |
some dying and others badly injured, |
were hurled in all directions.
The locomotive plowed through !
the wreckage, scattering it along the i
right-of-way for -----cm l hundred feet
As soon as the train came to a
stop, members of the train crew and
passengers began picking up the
victims.
While a score of passengers picked
up the little victims, laying the
maimed and battered bodies at the
track side, others rushed to the near
est farm hous" to send in telephone
calls for help.
Three in Family Dead
Lambert’s crossing is five miles
from Ravenna. There were eighteen
children in the bus—a horse-drawn
vehicle —being transported to schools I
in Rootstown township.
The railroad track may be seen '
for about a quarter of a mile from ;
the road taken by the bus. The j
road approaches the crossing at an
angle but is perfectly level.

means of a ladder placed through
the small opening in the roof of the
vault. Upon coming out of the
chamber, bearing with him as a
momento a small fragment which
had dropped from the general’s cof
fin, Dr. Jacobs said:
“Nothing can compare with the
solemn reverence I felt in the pres
ence of the sacred dust of Georgia’s
great hero., I felt that General
Oglethorpe was no longer a heap of
dust or a group of bones, but was
once again the most powerful per
sonality in the southern states.”
Inscription Read
Time and tL~ elements have ap
parently placed a light hand on the
venerated Briton, who laid the foun
dation of the present American
states of Georgia, Alabama and Mis

the coffin is a slight break in a
seam at J the head of the general’s
coffin, which exposes to view the

ent was the only correspondent ad
mitted to the church. He was al
lowed to descend by "leans of a
ladder. With a flickering candle, it
was possible to make out the follow
ing inscription on General Ogle
thorpe’s coffin: 'The Honorable
General Oglethorpe. Died first July,
1785.”
This vault is built of large heavy
red bricks; it is about ten feet long
six feet wide and four feet high, and
in massiveness is not unlike the ap
pearance of some Os the murfcary
chambers of the Valley of the Kings
of Egypt.
Dr. Thornwell Jacobs, president of
Oglethorpe university, was the first
to enter the vault. He was followed
by the Rev. Leslie Wright, the rec
tor.
"You Lu.,l made history,” was the
rector’s laconic remark to Dr. ‘Jacobs
the coffin had been examined.
While the wooden fabric of the
coffin is intact, it is clearly of a
most fragile nature, requiring the
utmost care when the bodies are re
moved. Dr. Jacobs, who has spent
two years in unremitting search, was
visibly affected, and when he emerg
ed, said:
Wish Is Realized
“The wish of ten million people in
the southland is now realized. Their
father and founder is located. I am
sure the British ecclesiastical author
ities will allow the body of the gen
eral to pass across the seas into the
bosom of Georgia, where it will rest,
honored and loved, a link between
the land of his birth and the country
to which he consecrated his life and
fortune.”
The tomb will be temporarily
closed for one week, so as to permit
the chancellor of the diocese to give
notice to all the parishioners of the
intention to remove the bodies to
America. If no objection is raised
the bodies will be taken from the
vault on October 18, while solemn
religious ceremony will be held ia
the presence of Ambassador Harvey,
representatives of the British gov
ernment and high ecclesiastical au
thorities. The long journey to Sa
vannah will begin soon after that.
KILLS CATARRH
GERMS IN THREE
MINUTES
Wonderful French Discovery Suc
ceeds After Everything Else
Has Failed.
Thousands who have suffered from
catarrh, head noises, difficult breathing,
hawking, etc., and who have tried every
thing without success, say that the fa
mous new scientific discovery, Lavex, rid
them of their troubles in a few days.
Many say they had no further trouble
after the first three minutes of treatment.
Lavex is a French discovery, easily used
by simply inhaling a pleasant, harmless
powder, which tends to kill the catarrh
germs almost instantly. Lavex reaches
every part qf the breathing passages,
which cannot be done with ordinary
salves, ointments, sprays, etc. The re
sults are astonishing in their rapidity.
For instance. Rev. J. F. Stephens, a
widely-known preacher, says, “I bed suf
fered from catarrh for years my
doctor said there was no cure. Had to
quit preaching as a Methodist Minister.
After using Lavex I can sleep and eat
well, voice is clear, can walk or run or
work as well as I could twenty years
ago and I am now sixty-nine.”
So confident is W. R. Smith, 366
Lavex Bldg., Kansas City, Mo., American
distributor of Lavex, that it will rid you
of all your catarrh troubles, in no time
at all, that he generously offers to send
a treatment on free trial. No obligation
no cost, comes to you in plain wrapper,
postpaid. If it cures you, you can re
pay the favor by telling your friends,
if not, the loss is Mr. Smith’s, therefore
you should accept this liberal offer to
day by simply sending your name and
address to Mr. Smith and prove you can
be rid of

market artificially colored. Practice,
it is claimed, is seriously injuring
growers and shippers who send out
only the matured product.
