ATHENS CITIZENS
SETTLE CUI MS ON
BARRETT BRANCH
AUGUSTA, Ga., Oct. 31.—Appear
ing here yesterday afternoon before
Judge Joseph Ganahi, referee in
bankruptcy, attorneys representing
interests having claims against the
Georgia Products company, the
Athens branch of Barrett & Co.,
defunct cotton factor's of this city,
secured an order from the referee
effecting a compromise settlement
of the claims against 2,423 bales of
cotton stored in *the Independent
Warehouses, Inc., of Athens. The
settlement involves $228,717.53.
The settlement was made possible
by an offer of “certain citizens of
Athens,” represented by Charles H.
Phinizy, of this city, formerly of
Athens, to pay over to banks hold
ing warehouse receipts for the 2,423
bales of cotton, the surn of $58,717.-
53, which, added to the $170,000 ad
vanced by Barrett & Co. to owners
of cotton stored at the Athens ware
houses, gives the banks the total
sum of $228,717.53 in settlement of
their claims for money loaned upon
the cotton and for which the banks
hold warehouse receipts.
The Athens citizens, it is pointed
out in a prelude to the referee’s or
der, are offering this settlement of
the controversy "to avoid damages
to the trade and good name of the
city of Aliens.”
The court, order provides that the
Athens citizens are to pay the trus
tee of Barrett & Co. the sum of
$228,717.53, and the trustee is in
turn to pay that sum to the banks
in exchange of warehouse receipts
to 2,423 bales of cotton. The trus
tee is required to turn over the
warehouse receipts to the Athens
citizens and all titles of any descrip
tion of the banks and the trustee
of Barrett & Co. or the Georgia
Products company to the cotton.
The order further provides that
the Athens citizens are to turn the
cotton over to the planters, manu
facturers and other claimants at
Athens upon the payment of ad
vances, warehouse and other
charges. Under the agreement the
citizens are not to attempt to prove
as a claim against the bankrupt es
tate the sum paid to the trustee or
any part thereof.

M’CORMICK DRAWS CRITICISM
IN ATTACK ON COOLIDGE
Statement Issued Just After
Dining at White House
Called Misleading—Presi
dent Expected to Answer
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 31.—Senator
Medill McCormick, of Illinois, was
twitted good-naturedly today as he
dropped in at the White House just
as the members of the cabinet were
filing in for their regular Tuesday
meeting with President Coolidge. The
senator had issued the first public
statement criticizing the Coolidge-
Hughes policy in the European rep
arations dispute.
“You’re behaving like a volcafio,”
Secretary Hughes remarked as he
met the Illinois senator in the cor
ridor.
“You made us all get out our dic
tionaries to find out what Lotophagi
are,” remarked Bascom Slemp, pri
vate secretary to President Coolidge.
And a moment later Senator Bill
Borah, of Idaho, came along and was
asked what h e thought about-Medill
McCormick’s statement, and he took
the position that the Illinois senator
was carrying the fight of the so
called “irreconcilable” group too far.
“Some of tha senators who were
in that fight,” said Mr. Borah, with
a laugh, “are still suffering from
shell shock. Now while we fought
the League of Nations because we
thought it a political alliance, we
never intended that America should
refrain from conferring with bther
powers about a world situation.
Why, we did it in the Moroccan sit
uation, and we have always stood
ready to give our advice.
“But it’s one thing to enter a
political alliance and quite another
to discuss economic questions. There
seems to be an idea that we cannot
have an international economic con
ference without entering into politi
cal alliances or talking about cancel
lation of debts. That’s all wrong.
We cam always confer and we never
need go beyond conference if we do
not desire to do so. But we cannot
refuse to confer especially when the
situation concerns the markets of
the United States.”
Time Called Inopportune
Some of the criticism voiced by
other senators was that Mr. McCor
mick should not have issued his
statement immediately after lunch
ing with President Coolidge, for per
sons abroad might have the impres
sion that this intimacy signified a
concurrence by the president in what
Mr. McCormick said. Mr. McCor
mick, on the other hand prepared
his statement last Sunday, and
wanted Mr. Coolidge to know ■what
he objected to in the present foreign
policy of the administration so that
opportunity might be given to mod
ify it. Failing to change the presi
dent’s mind, Mr. McCormick issued
his statement of dissent.
In spite of this explanation some
senators said today they thought it
a mistake for Mr. McCormick to say
that the four power pact with Japan
had been rendered meaningless by a
senate reservation as that, too, might
be regarded in Great Britain, Japan
and elsewhere as. a retreat by the
United States gvernment, from obli
gations then assumed.
Mr. McCormick was asked by the
writer what his objections was to
the proposed plan of an interna
tional commission of experts if it was
assured that the experts jvere not
representatives of the United States
overnment. He said it was his
understanding that the experts
would be representatives of the
American government and would ba
nominated by it.
This, however, is contrary to the
impression given at the department
of state, where the newspaper men
have interpreted remarks made there
to mean that the experts will not
represent the government of the
United States but will as private cit
izens be invited by the reparation
commission itself just as any legal
or technical advice might be sought
from private persons.
Under identical circumstances the
reparation commission in June, 1922.
invited J. P. Morgan to come to
Paris and so also were other inter
national financiers and business men
invited. The governments did not
|send any delegates and wer e not com
n>tted by what their nationals said
Nor did any one in the United States
raise a finger of objection at the
time.
Morgans Likely Choice
So Mr. McCormick’s suggestion
►hat George M. Reynolds, of Chicago,
sh'uld be named can not influence
the American government because
the reparations commission will un
doubtedly choose some American
t. nker who is willing to undertake
the flotation of an international loan
if a practicable plan for financing
Europe by private bankers is ever
agreed upon and the Morgans are
known t ohave the confidence of both
the French and British governments
to a degree unparalleled by any oth
»r American investment company.
This factor alone is counted'upon by

There were rumors that President

MTIOHI’S POUTICAI
RES ON KENTUCKY
MENU. ELECTION
FRANKFORT, Ky., Oct. 31.—(8y
the Associated Press.) —Political lead
ers are watching Kentucky for in
formation from its general election,
November 6, on which they may
base opinions as to the trend that
might be looked for in the 1924 pres
idential race. National issues have
Republicans and Democrats for state
offices, lending special political color
to the outcome of the vote.
Four years ago the Republican
state ticket won by 40,000 votes, ,an
exceptionally heavy majority com
pared with past elections. Two
years later the Democrats gained
control of the lower house of the
legislature. Today both parties are
striving for complete control of both
the executive and legislative
branches ot the government.
Kentucky electors are to choose a
governor, lieutenant governor, sec
retary of state, auditor, treasurer,
superintendent of public instruction,
attorney general, commissioner of
agriculture and clerk of the court
of appeals, in addition to members
of the state senate.
In the gubernatorial contest the
candidates have injected issues of
national interest. The Republicans,
represented by Charles I. Dawson,
as the candidate for governor, are
making their race on the accom
plishments of the Harding adminis
tration and the administration of the
present governor, Edwin P. Morrow,
who is not a candidate for re-elec
tion.
Injunction Granted
Against Klan Trial
Os Tennessee Man
A. S. Whitfield, of Chattanooga,
Tenn, a former member of the Ku
Klux Klan m that state, on Tuesday
morning was granted a temporary
injunction to prevent the imperial
klcnclium from placing him on trial
Tuesday at the imperial palace of the
klan in Atlanta. Judge John D.
Humphries, who granted the tem
porary injunction, set November 2
as the date of the hearing to de
termine whether the injuncion should
be made permanent.
It is charged in the petition that
some months ago Whitfield was
served with copies of charges pre
ferred against him by H. W. Evans,
imperial wizard of the klan; H. K.
Ramsey, another official of the klan
in Atlanta; Earl W. Hatalen, cyclops
of the Tennessee Kian, and B. J.
Rice, and Walter J. Counts, of Chat
tanooga. These charges,, he says,
averred that he had violated his oath
of allegiance as a kiansman, had
violated the klan constitution, and
had consp red against the “interests
of the klan.”
His trial was set for October 30,
at 10 o’clock, in the imperial pal
ance in Atlanta, he declares. He
insists that he is innocent of the
charges against him. He told news
papermen at the courthouse Tuesday
that the charges were brought
against him by the Evans regime be
cause he has been a supporter of
William Joseph Simmons, former im
perial wizard.
Klan officials at the imperial pal
ace Tuesday declared that Whitfield
was banished by the Tennessee klan
some months ago; that he did not
seek an appeal to the kloncilium
within the time allowed for such an
appeal, but that on August 22, last,
he asked for a rehearing of his case’
which was granted and set for Oc
tober 30.

Clubbing Combinations
We make nothing out of these other papers. It means
nothing to us whether you take them or not—if anything,
we are rather prejudiced against them, because we are put
to a lot of trouble to handle them, complaints are sent to us
whenever any one of them fails to reach the subscriber
promptly, and we have the expense of handling these com
plaints and sometimes lose the friendship of our subscribers,
who hold us to blame instead of the publishers of the other
papers.
We offer them solely as an accommodation to our friends
and thus enable them to save from one-fourth to one-half
the cost of publications they desire to take. We have re
moved from our list many publications which have given
poor delivery in the past. Judging from our past experience,
good service may be expected from those listed here:

How to Earn Your Own Paper
What we are principally interested in is getting good sub
stantial readers for The Tri-Weekly Journal and getting them
on our list for a considerable term, saving them the annoyance
of having to write and mail an order every few months and
saving us the expense of handling a name two, three or four
times a year instead of once. To encourage this concentration
of orders, we still will send the paper free for one year to the
sender of four yearly subscriptions at SI.OO each.
