FIGHT TO PREVENT
LAUSANNE TREATY
RATIFICATION IS OH
NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—An or
ganized movement to frustrate rati
fication of the Lausanne treaty by
the United States senate was under
taken at the Yale club Saturday by a
group of influential Americans, head
ed by James W. Gerard, former am
bassador to Germany, and now chair
man of the American committee for
the independence of Armenia.
A memorandum previously signed
by 100 statesmen, high army officers,
financiers, church officials, editors
and foreign relief workers, was ap
proved for presentation to President
Coolidge, Secretary of State Hughes,
and individual senators before whom .
the treaty will come for ratification I
at the forthcoming session of con- :
gress.
The document charges that the I
state department’s envoys at Lau- j
sanne sacrificed to Mustapha Kemal |
the rights of American citizens in
Turkey and threw overboard the Ar
menian people, whom this country
was pledged to protect—in exchange
for the Chester concessions to a few
American business men, since trans
ferred to alien control.
"It is morally an Indefensible
treaty'," eaid the memorandum. "It
is an utterly humiliating and pur
poseless treaty. It surrenders every
American right in Turkey. It ren
ders impossible the continuance of
American educational and philan
thropic enterprises in that country.
It ignores our solemn pledge to Ar
menia.
"The economic concessions it pur
ports to secure for a few Americans
are admitted to be of dubious value,
and have already been transferred
into alien hands.
"We believe that the honor of
America, no less than every dictate
of reason, demands that the senate
reject the Lausanne treaty'.”
Later the document says: "If, as
appears, the Chester concession was
the inducement leading to the sacri
fice of American rights and the
abandonment of Armenia, then, in
the light of our fuller knowledge of
the illusory nature of this concession
—no longer even in American hands
—the only plausible argument in fa
vor of the Lausanne treaty becomes
untenable.”
The attack on the treaty was led
today by Mr. Gerard, Oscar S. Straus,
former ambassador to Turkey; Cap
tain Paxton Hibben, former Russian
and Near East relief worker; Profes
sor A. D. F. Hamlin, of Columbia
university; Professor Albert Bush
nell Hart, of Harvard, and Dr. Paul
8. Leinbach, of Philadelphia.
.Attached to the memorandum was
a list of names which included Gov
ernor Alfred E. Smith, of New York;
Alton B. Parker, Bishop William T.
Manning, of New York; Governor ;
Lee M. Russell, of Mississippi; Wil- i
liam Guggenheim, Bishop Thomas F. (

Oklahoma Jim Crow
Law Is Upheld in
Damage Suit Verdict
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 24.—The verdict
in favor of the St. Louis and San
Francisco railroad, returned by a
circuit court jury late yesterday in
a $25,000 damage suit brought by
James Roberts, a local negro lawyer,
was based on the “Jim Crow” law of
Oklahoma, it was explained today by
lawyers.
Roberts-testified that on December
24, 1921, he was compelled to go
from a day coach to a coach re
served for negroes as the train was
entering Oklahoma from Missouri.
The jury held, in effect, that al
though Roberts paid for the com
forts of the day coach, the road was
obliged to comply with the laws of
the various states it operated
through, and therefore coulij. not be
held liable for any discomforts Rob
erts may have suffered as a result
of the Oklahoma statute.

PROGRESSIVE BLOG
OF 0.0. P. INHOUSE
OPPOSING GILLETT
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—The
progressive bloc among Republicans
in the house reiterated their
intention of supporting Representa
tive Cooper, of Wisconsin, for speak
er, in opposition to Representative
Gillett, of Massachusetts, while every
indication was given that Representa
tives Longworth, of Ohio, and Gra
ham, of Illinois, would go into the
Republican conference next Saturday
as candidates for leader.
During the coming week the pro
gressives, who claim control of about
twenty votes, expect to hold confer
ences to draft their demands in defi
nite languages. They have an
nounced their intention of seeking to
block the re-election of Mr. Gillett
unless they are given recognition in
committee assignments, sufficient, in
their opinion, to insure consideration
of their legislative proposals, and
are assured that the rules of the
house will b e “liberalized.”
Thus far the group, which is made
up mainly of Wisconsin representa
tives, has interested itself only in
the speakership as a means of ob
taining concessions and has taken
no stand, as a unit, in the leadership
fight.
Graham Men at Work »
On the other hand, the supporters
of Mr. Graham are devoting them
selves solely to the advancement of
his candidacy. Many of them have
announced their intention of voting
for Mr. Gillett for speaker.
Representative Hoch, of Kansas,
one of those managing the Graham
campaign, attacked Mr. Longworth
today in a statement in which he
pointed out that both Mr. Gillett and
Mr. Longworth, “come from indus
trial districts.”
“Their immediate understanding
and concern,” the statement said,
“are naturally along that line. Both
are pronounced conservatives. Now
every one knows that, in the main,
the industrial sections of the coun
try have prospered, while agriculture
has been passing through a deaden
ing economic depression. This de
pression is not of the farm alone,
but vitally affects the storekeepers,
the small business men generally of
the towns and small cities which are
a part of the agricultural commu
nity.
“Now there is no legislative magic
wand which can disperse these eco
nomic ills, but congress must be
keenly sensitive to them, and do
every proper thing within its power
to help bring relief.
“Mr. Graham comes from an agri
cultural district in one of the great
agricultural states of the middle
west, where the depression has been
greatest and the spirit of discontent
ment most manifest.
Familiar With Needs
“His familiarities have been with
farm interests and with the men and
businesses operating upon compara
tively small capital. He comes from
that atmosphere but with a disposi
tion to be fair to wealth and
large industry. His supporters be
lieve that his selection would give
better balance to th e organization,
better representation to all sections,
sentiments and schools of, thought,
and be an assurance to the people,
of the country, east and west alike.”
Democratic leaders of the house
continued today to make organiza
tion plans which are expected to
take final form at the Democratic
caucus next Saturday night. Cordell
Hull, chairman of the Democratic
national committee, who will return
to the house this session, as a repre
sentative from Tennessee, held con
ferences during the day with various
leaders, including Representatives
Garrett, of Tennessee, who wag act
ing- minority leader in the last con
gress, and Garner, of Texas, rank
ing Democrat on the ways and means
committee.
One report in circulation at the
capitol was that th e Democrats in
tended, in re-assigning members to
the ways and means committee, to
drop Representative Martin, of Lou
isiana, who 'is regarded by some
members of his party as a “protec
tionist.” Mr. Martin was a Demo
cratic leader of the committee dur
ing the last congress, but joined,
with several of his Louisiana col
leagues, in the Republican demand!
for duties on some commodities, nota

TEAR BBS SUBDUES
MIN BARRICADED
IN HOTEL ROOM
CHICAGO, Nov. 24.—Guests of the
Hotel Sherman, In all forms of neg
ligee, scurried to cover last night,
while thirty policemen and detec
tives, with tear bombs and revolvers,
assaulted a room on the fourth floor
in which Roy Hendrickson, of Shaw
nee, Okla., had barricaded himself.
Hendrickson, who says he was a
member of former Governor Jack
Walton’s Oklahoma secret service,
fired several shots at the officers
before the tear bombs, thrown
through the transom, forced him to
a window. The officers broke opea
the door and took him, fighting and
protesting, to a hospital.
Several hours before the shoot
ing, Hendrickson telephoned a Chi
cago newspaper, asking that a re
porter be sent to get a story about
his being robbed by a police captain.
When the reporrer entered his room,
Hendrickson locked the door and
told him he was to stay there all
night because “something is going
to happen."
The reporter demurred and later,
by a ruse, eluded Hendrickson and
called the police. With three ser
geants and the house detective he
went to Hendrickson’s room. Their
demand for admittance was answer
ed by bullets through the door. A
concerted attack was made when re
serves arrived.
A bullet proof shield of steel, be
hind which two policemen were shel
tered as they moved it before them
was used by detectives in the as
sault. After the door was burst open
the officers followed the shiled into
the room and overpowered Hen
drickson, who was prevented from
escaping through the window by of
ficers in the court below, with whom
he exchanged shots.
Hotel guests thought the place
had been raided by bandits. With
tears inspired by the bombs stream
ing from their eyes, they made fran
tic efforts to hide valuables, until
hotel officials and police restored
calm. . |
Hendrickson’s typewritten story,
given to the reporter, said he had
quit as a sheet metal worker for the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad com
pany, had drawn his pay at the
Grand Central station and had been
robbed of it by a railroad police
captain. A search of his room re
vealed two revolvers and a package
of cartridges. He had been staying
at the hotel for several days.
FACES TRIAL ON CHARGES
OF TERRORISM DURING STRIKE
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla., Nov.
24. —Roy Hendrickson is facing trial
in United States district court here
on a charge of contempt of court
growing out of his alleged leadership
of striking railroad shopmen at
Shawnee, who acted in violation of
the federal injunction issued in 1922
to prevent interference with the op
eration of railroads.
Strikers who have been tried testi
fied that Hendrickson was the lead
er in a terror plot at Shawnee, which
included the dynamiting of several
homes of non-union shop workers,
and the firing upon the shops with
high-powered rifles.
A charge of assault with a danger
ous weapon was filed against him in
state district court at Shawnee,
but dismissed when the federal ac
tion was brought.
He has been connected recently
with state politics and was known
as a Walton supporter.

SUSPECT RED PLOTS
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24. —Au
thorities tonight were working on
the theory that a new secret organi
zation of Latin "reds,” sworn to bit
ter warfare against the fascisti
movement, is responsible for the
bombing outrages at the Italian and
Spanish consulates here early today.
The buildings were badly damaged,
and many persons were slightly in
jured by the explosions, apparently
caused by nitro-glycerine or TNT
bombs.
Six professional bombers, accord
ing to information obtained tonight
by the police, placed the infernal ma
chines in the doorways of the con
sulates.
Three men suspected of being im
plicated in the bombings are under
arrest, and detectives are rounding
up radicals with the hope that they
may give a clue that will lead to the
perpetrators of the crime.

GEORGIA FARMER OFFERS
NEW PROPOSAL TO CONQUER
WEEVIL AND GROW COTTON
Would Have Government
Compel Planting of Cotton
After Oat Crop, So as td
Insure Late Start
Editor The Journal: I have read
with interest the article and com
ment published in the Sunday Jour
nal of November 11, headed “Early
Cotton Planting Aids Weevils,” by
J. H. Reed, contributing to the Man
ufacturers’ Record, and excerpts
from an article by J. Hoke Tigner.
of the Atlanta Commercial exchange,
Atlanta.
The arguments of these gentle
men are so much in line with my
observations, that I feel constrained
to agitate their views by indorsing
to some extent the ideas they have
advanced on boll weevil control.
There has been so much said and
written about boll weevil control that
the public) looks upon every man
who attempts to discuss the ques
tion with a great deal of suspicion,
put him down as a crank, or as
having something to swindle the cot
ton planter with in the way of a
patent boll weevil catcher or some
form of poison to sell. I am surp
the above mentioned gentlemen do
not come under either of the above
classes, and, as for myself, I may
be classed among the first, but I
assure you I am not of the last-
Uniform Plan Needed
I am not much of a farmer, but I
have been feeding the boll weevil
ever since he took up hig abode in
Emanuel county. I know there are
almost as many ideas about the con
trol of the boll weevil as there are
farmers and up to thig good time
none of their plans have been much
of a success. I am convinced that
there must be adopted some uniform
plan and the only way to get such
a plan adopted is by legislation and
law enforcement.
It is about as unreasonable to ex
pect to control the boll weevil with
every farmer going it single-handed
with his method or without any at
all, as it would be to expect a great
victory to be won in some battle by
a lot of soldiers who had been giv
en a musket and sent cut to fight.
with instructions that each man
must use his best judgment regard
less of orders or the other fellow’s
tactics.
Government Control
I feel that Mr. Tigner is right,
if our state and government has th*
right to pass laws regulating the
catchin o of fish and killing birds
and game on your own farm, cer
tainly the same authority should
have the right to regulate the plant
ing of cotton so that one man should
not raise boll weevils to eat up hi-j
neighbor’s cotton as well as his own.
It took legislation and a uniform
method and law enforcement to
eradicate the cattle tick, by compul
sory dipping of the cattle, and it
will take a similar law throughout
the cotton belt to control the boll
weevil.
Mr. Reed’s and Mr. Tigner’s ideas
are demonstrated by the Florida
method. The destroying of the first
crop of Squares from the tenth to
the twenty-fifth of June, according
to the section and climate, does
away with the eggs, grubs and
larvae in the punctured squares by
the weevils that come out of hiber
nation and before a new crop of
squares come on, such weevils have
reached their expectancy in life
and have died.
The life of an active bool weevil,
according to expert advice, is about
forty days. When a boll weevil
goes into hibernation for the winter
he becomes dormant or torpid and
the limitation of life does not run
against him until he comes out the
following spring; then when he be
comes active, he begins to draw bn
his allotted time. If he goes into
winter quarters in an impoverished
and undernourished condition, he
may die before he comes out in the
spring. If he does not, he will
doubtless come out -and starve be
fore he finds cotton to feed on, as it
is claimed by experts that 90 per
cent of the weevil die from starva
tion by June 1. If he happens to
be fat and well fed when he goes
into hibernation, he would doubtless
come out later in the spring than
his more unfortunate brother who
would be driven out in early spring
by the pangs of hunger as soon as
he begins to warm up a little, and
the earlier he comes out the earlier
he dies. This is the reason so much
stress is made on destroying the
cotton stalks early in the fall, so
that he will not be sufficiently
nourished to live to see another cot
ton crop.
A Test Field
I watched closely the activities of
the boll weevil this past season in
what I called a test field of cotton,
which I planted early and intended
to make a crop in spite of the boll
weevil, but I did not. I planted this
cotton the first week in April and
the boll weevil were in evidence in
May long before any squares came
on the cotton. They kept busy and
got thicker as the plants advanced.
I visited this field almost daily,
watching the nature of the weevil,
and up to the last week in June I
could find from five to fifteen wee
vils in about thirty minutes almost
any day.
The last week in June I hunted
something like an hour and could
find but two weevils, and from the
bright color and tenderness, I am
sure they were young ones. AIT the ,
old weevils were gone, all by that !
time had come out of hibernation,
had lived out their time and had
died, but they had left thousands of
punctured squares, many of them
with grown weevils in them read'
to cut their way out and take up
the work of puncturing, which they
did. and came out in great numbers
daily until the entire field was !
covered.
The fact that all old weevils were
dead by the last week in June, al
though they had plenty of food, con
vinced me that by that time all
weevils living through th© winter'
had reached the limitation of life
and had all died, leaving only their
progeny to take up their work when
they emerged from the larvae state.
The above observations convince
me that if the planting of cotton was
so regulated as to have the first
squares come on the first week in
July in this part of Georgia, one appli
cation of calcium arsenate would be!
sufficient to make a full crop of cot
ton, and if you used no poison at all, I
you would make a fairly good crop of i
cotton and enough boll weevils to
justify perpetuating this plant.
The Solution
Now here is where I will be ac-1
cused as coming in with the class of
cranks, in offering the solution. If
I had the power to draft the bill and)
pass it, I would make it Illegal and ,
fix the penalty for anybody east of
the Mississippi or Texas to plant cot
ton except after harvesting oats. This
would regulate the production of cot
ton, would cause every cotton planter
to plant oats in the best land he has
and in the fall when they' should be
planted, would insure him
TUESDAY, -NOVEMBER 27, 1923.
good feed to make his crop with, in
the place of buying It, would regu
late the time of planting cotton, as a
crop of oats planted in this section
of Georgia in Ooctober and Novem
ber would mature about the 15th of
'May.
Some such method as the above
would rive the farmer plenty of time
to prepare his land and plant an
early crop of corn, have it practically
made or ready to “lay-by” before he
got busy with his cotton. Then he
could have plenty time to give the
cotton the proper cultivation and fer
tilization in order to push it to ma
turity.
I believe the oat crop in the differ
ent sections of the cotton belt would
come off at* the right time, so that
the planting of cotton after oats
would bring the squares on at a
period just beyond the time when the
bull weevil has lived out his allotted
time, and is dead.
The average farmer plants oats
too late, plants in land that he usual
ly fails to make any thing else on,
and also ‘fails to make oats, then
makes the statement that it doeesn’t
pay to plant oats. Under the regula
tion above, the cotton planter would
plant oats In his best land, where he
should plant them, in order to get his
cotton in good land, his early corn
crop would come off plenty time to
plant his oats in the fall, which
would cause him to rotate to some
extent and he would make three
crops on the same land in two years.
My solution may not appeal- prac
tical to the average man, but to the
average good farmer I think it would
appear logical. If we could regulate
the time for planting cotton along
the lines suggested, the boll weevil
could be controlled sufficiently to
bring Dixie back into her own, and it
would not take all of Georgia’s cot
ton crop to pay for the feedstuff we
import as we are doing now. We
would get back around a million
bales and have feed stuff to sell.
In all seriousness and sincereity,
I am i

Brooks Commissions
Refuse to Rescind
Cattle Pipping Action
QUITMAN, Ga., Nov. 24.—At the
meeting of the county commission
ers this week, Riley R. Renfroe, a
large cattle raiser and owner of the
largest acreage in pasture in the
state, appeared before the board to
urge that action taken at the last
meeting of the board, withdrawing
financial and moral support from the
cattle dipping campaign, be re
scinded. •
Mri Renfroe made an earnest
plea, stating that since dipping be
gan eight years ago, there had been
an increase in cattle in the county
from 14,000 to 20,000, which, at only
$lO per head, meant a gain of $60,-
000. He said during the eight years
he had shipped cattle worth $16,-
000. He said Malloy Brothers had
shipped $30,000 worth of cattle and
other raisers had made large ship
ments.
“Unless the board respinds its ac
tion,” said Mr. Renfroe, “those of
us who own cattle will be ruined
and our business will be destroyed.”
Members of the board indicated
that no action would be taken at
this time.
It is understood petitions are be
ing circulated throughout the coun
ty requesting the board to rescind
its former action and see that dip
ping is carried on until the county
is tick free.
In the event the board does not
rescind its action, it is stated that
the state and federal authorities will
either mandamus the board, or es
tablish a rigid quarantine or with
draw federal funds, any or all. The
issue is now county-wide and there is
said to be much feeling on both
sides.

FDR DENGUE FEVER
WASHINGTON, &ov. 24.—Den
gue or “breakbone” fever is trans
mitted by the so-called yellow fever
mosquito, according to a bulletin is
sued here by the department of agri
culture, which estimated that in 1922
there were 600,000 cases of dengue in
th® southern United States.
“Dengue fever is seldom fatal,”
the bulletin, Farmers’ Bulletin No.
1354, points out, “but it is the cause
of total incapacity of th© patient for
a number of days which may extend
into weeks. From this fact can be
estimated the economic loss to the
south during the summer of 1922
when it might all have been avoided
and with comparatively little trouble.
The importance of control measures,
which are readily applied, are ob
vious.”
Recommending methods for pre
vention of dengue, the bulletin says;
“Th e most important remedy sug
gested is the abolishing of standing
water.”
The yellow-fever mosquito, th© bul
letin says, is perhaps the common
est household mosquito in the Gulf
states, and continues:
“Th® yellow-fever mosquito is es
sentially a house mosquito, and its
larvae are found practically exclu
sively in artificial receptacles in and
about houses. Large earthen jars
for drinking water are, in the tropics,
its unfailing habitat. Rainwater bar
rels and tanks are common sources
of abundant supplies of these mos
quitoes. The larvae also occur in
sagging gutters containing rain wa
ter, tin cans, cess pools, horse
troughs, water-closet tanks, drain
taps, cemetery urns, holy water
founts in churches, water pans in
chicken yards, and water receptacles
of grindstones.”
After advising the draining of al.
receptacles such as those mentioned,
