DEMOCRATS WART .

Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER
WASHINGTON, D. C.—Democrat
ic leaders ot the house will reject
*** all overtures from radical or pro
« gressive Republican groups that the
Democratic minority and the inde
pendent or insurgent majority mem
bers combine to elect a speaker
other than Frederick H. Gillett, of
Massachusetts. It is understood that
« hints and overtures have come from
progressive Republican sources that
, Finis J. Garrett, floor leader of the
minority, be elected speaker. This
combination, of course, would carry
with it an understanding about pro
gressive representation on commit
tees.
Representative -Garrett, however,
does not want the speakership in the
sixty-eighth congress. He and other
Democratic leaders are agreed that
the Republicans shculd organize the
a, house and assume full legislative
responsibility for the next two years
~~df congress. The Democrats are will
ing to talk business with the Re
publican insurgents on such matters
revision of taxation and the tariff,
4 and the solution of the agricultural
“problem, and no doubt there will be
* considerable legislative log-rolling.
' ’ The Democrats are not willing to
enter a combination to elect one of
•their number as speaker of a house
nominally Republican.
« Probable Outcome
The upshot of the progressive
move to block organization of the
house until certain demands are met
probably will result in this: The
progressives and Democrats will be
--given more liberal representation
• on all the “key” committees —and
.that is what they are really after.
The regular Republican organization
wfill control the floor of the house,
the speakership and the majority
leadership which will go, it seems,
s to Mr. Gillett and Mr. Longworth,
* respectively.
The house progressives, including
the “La Follette group” from Wis
consin and possibly a dozen or so
less radical insurgents from the mid
lie west, will put forward Repre
sentative Henry A. Cooper, veteran
member from Wisconsin, as their
candidate for speaker. There is no
I probability of the election of Mr.
‘ pooper, but his candidacy will give
the G. O. P. insurgents opportunity
to make a show of strength and to
?throw a scare into the Old Guard.”
After maneuvering around fox- a day
or so the progressives and Demo
crats will get concessions as to com
jnittee places and Speaker Gillett
jvill then get the necessary majority
:o keep him in the chair.
Concessions Inevitable
' With the Republicans having a
real majority of less than twenty
*n the house—because a group of
So-called Republicans cannot be kept
f •* In the reservation —the Old Guard
inevitably must make concessions.
Democrats are naturally elated
jibaut the split in Republican ranks
and will encourage the insurgents
*.n a number of ways, but not includ
ing organization of the house with
j, Democratic speaker. The Demo
► - jratic reasoning is that the party’s
thances in 1924 will be much bet
ter if the Republicans ostensibly
Control both branches of congress
Ind are held responsible for all mis
takes. If the Republican party can
lot control its own forces, then the
Democrats say it is no affair of the
apposition party.
Complexion of House
Latest figures compiled show that
•he next house will coniprise 225
Republicans, 205 Democrats, 1
farmer-Labor, 1 Socialist, 1 Inde
pendent, 1 vacancy in the Seventh
Kentucky and another in the Third
Mississippi district. Among the 225
jsted as Republicans are admittedly
I score of middle western members
frho cannot be tagged as “regular”
t » ind whose support is uncertain on
iny administration question or poli-
* sy and on such major issues as tax-
Ition, tariff revision, transportation
Ind farm relief. That is why the
Republican majority doesn’t mean
wliat figures would indicate and why
xoncessions in organization and leg
slation must be yielded by the Old
5 uard.

MAN OF 2423 IS FORESEEN
AS STRONG IN MENTALITY
BUT A PHYSICAL WEAKLING
Women to Have Become
Matter-of-Fact Then and
Love Will Be Much -Chang
ed) Says Scientist
LONDON, Nov. 27.—Prof. A. M.
Low/ a British scientist of note, has
contributed to The London Daily
Express an interesting forecast of
what man will be like in 500 years.
Professor Low says:
“The past 500 years have seen a
gradual change in than. His physical
powers have become weaker, his
senses are less keen, his teeth are
worse, and he would be unable to
stand for any length of time the
hardships of his forebears. This
weakening process will not stop to
day. Therefore, in considering the
average man of 500 years hence we
must obviously expect him to be a
far weaker creature than he is to
day owing to the use of many ar
tificial aids.
“We can not expect any striking
physical changes in the man of
2423, for it takes thousands of years
to alter our structure, but he will
in all probability seek to improve
his body by grafting and electrical
treatment and by permanently fixed
mechanical*appliances, such as sight
correctors —a great improvement on
the present clumsy glasses.
“He will dress in sensible and com
fortable one-piece clothing in place
of the absurd conglomeration of
.clothes worn at present and, owing
to the increase in baldness, will wear
a hat of some descrii>tion practically
all the time.
To Eat Less Food
“Just as our modern meals are
of less importance to us than the
‘spreads’ of olden times, so will the
future man pay even less attention
to food; one meal a day will possi
bly suffice, assisted if necessary by
’snacks’ in concentrated form, and
compared with today, his standard
' of living will be extremely luxurious 1 .
! His lower limbs will become
atrophied from disuse, for,his meth
ods of travel on moving sidewalks
and communicating by radio will
render any strenous travel unnec
essary.
“His educational standard will be
very high, without any exception;
thought will be an infinitely quick
er process, and all amusements will
be of an intellectual variety. Games
of brute strength will die out, box
ing will be regarded much as we
regard the brutal prize fights of
bygone days, and in every way it
will be an age of brains and not
brawn.
Scientific Love
“He will treat women in what we
should regard as a most casual man
ner. He will think nothing of stop
ping one for a light for his pipe.
By 2423 women will have educated
and advanced themselves more rap
idly than at present seems possible,
and will thus be in a position to
compete with man in every way.
However, as he will scientifically
understand ‘love,’ he will treat it
with far greater respect.
“His life will be, relatively speak
ing, far more complex than ours,
and by 2423 the study of wave mo
tion will have led to the habitual use
of wireless sight, and many other
developments of that period. The
mental transference of thought—at
present claimed by many tricksters,
but not a scientific fact—will be
thoroughly understood, and that
point alone will increase efficiency
.and speed up his mode of life gen
erally. He will most certainly use
a shorter phonetic system of spell
ing.”
Probe of Governor’s
Finances Turns to
Farm Board Loans
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Nov. 26.
Indications that the Marion county
grand jury investigation of Governor
Warren T. McCray’s financial af
fairs has turned to his transactions
with the Indiana state board of ag
riculture were given today when
Thomas Grant, of Lowell, and Wil
liam M. Jones, of Fairmount, both
members of the board, were called
to appear as witnesses. The governor
has admitted* borrowing $155,000
from the board.
Other persons who were at the
grand jury room today were repre
sentatives of banks in northern In
diana, with which the governor has
had dealings.
In addition to the Marion county
grand jury investigation of the gov
ernor’s financial transactions, an in
quiry is also under way by postoffice
authorities. Letters have been sent
from the office of J. W. Welborn,
postoffice inspector, to a number of
Indiana banks asking for informa
tion regarding loans made to the
governor, and if these transactions
were made personally or by mail.

CAPITAL IS NERVOUS
IS OPENING HRS
OF BOTH CONGRESS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27.—One
week before' the opening of the 6Sth
congress finds the national capital
in a state of nervousness over the
various situations that are develop
ing and likely to develop.
First, there’s a fight in the house
over the leadership between Repre
sentative Graham, of Illinois, and
Representative Longworth, of Ohio,
with the “progressives” supporting
Representative Cooper, of Wiscon
six:, on the theory that holding the
balance' of power they will be able
to force the selection of their own
members for important committee
chairmanships.
Second, the departure of Vice Pres
ident Coolidge from the desk of pre
siding officer of the . United senate
makes it necessary to choose a per
manent president of the senate and
Senator Cummins, of lowa, who was
president pro tem. during the last
session whenever Mr. Coolidge was
absent is in line for the position.
Eui if, he takes it, Mr. Cummins
may be forced to relinquish the
chairmanship of the committee on
interstate commerce and, under the
seniority rule, Robert N. La Fol
lette, senior senator from Wisconsin,
having served the longest in that
committee becomes entitled to the
chairmanship. Out of the I. C. C.
comes bills relating to railroad and
transportation matters. Mr. La Fol
lette would have a great deal of in
fluence in shaping the government’s
railroad policy—or at least sufficient
power to keep the railroads on the
anxious seat with respect to that
clause of the transportation act
which permits them to make a five
and a half per cent return on their
investment.
Support of Lodge
Mr. Cummins wants to be presi
dent pro tem. Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge favors him for the position
ard doesn’t see any reason why Mr.
Cummins couldn’t retain the com
mittee' chairmanship, too. That
would be alright if Mr. La Follette
and his friends consented but they
want to run things in the inter
state commerce commission and if
they do not get what they want
they can overthrow the whole Re
publican organization scheme by
simply uniting with the Democrats.
The Republican majority is slen
der and the support of the La Fol
lette group is needed to carry on
Republican parliamentary maneu
vers throughout the session.
Senator La Follette is a sick man.
He hasn’t been very much in evi
dence during the last three weeks
that he has been in Washington.
Some of his close friends say he
has an attack of the grippe. Oth
ers hint that his illness is more seri
ous. Anyway, it will probably be
come apparent whether he is in
phyical condition for the battle in
the next congress when the senate
convenes. Mr. La Follette is usually
in his seat on such occasions.
The presidency of the senate car
ries with it an increase in salary
of $4,500 above the regular salary of
$7,500 received by senators, and
friends of Senatox- Cummins think
“the old man” as they affectionately
call him, should have the added com
pensation, as he isn’t a wealthy
man, and has spent most of his life
in the public service, not. only in
Washington, but in his home state
of lowa, where he gave his ener
gies to the governorship in legisla
tive battles which still are the talk
of the middle west.
Democrats Prepare
While these situations are devel
oping inside the Republican party,
the Democrats are girding their
loins for a fight that may rival in
interest their adroit tactics in the
middle of the Taft administration
when in 1910 the Democrats took
advantage of the misplays of their
opponents who were divided and
managed to appear before the pub
lic as a united party keen to reduce
the cost of living.
Representative Garrett, of Ten
nessee, leader of the Democrats, in
his statement denying that the
Democrats will play politics with
the tax reduction program is laying
the foundations for a campaign that
will not make it possible for the
country to charge the Democrats
with wrecking the tax program,
though Mr. Garrett knows the radi
cals in the Republican party will
make all the necessary attempts to
frustrate the policy of the admin
istration without any assistance from
the Democrats.
Mr. Garrett’s pronouncement is
considered a wise one from the
viewpoint of strategy, as it places
the Democratic party in the posi
tion of wanting to aid in tax reduc
tion —an admittedly popular policy—
but it doesn’t commit the Demo
crats to specific aid as against the
radicals, though, when the snow
down comes, enough Democratic
votes probably will be mustered to
save the situation from becoming
hopelessly deadlocked. The atmos
phere is, nevertheless, one of great
uncertainty and doubt as the day- for
the season approaches.
Sales Girl Awarded
Damages of $ 10,000
Against Chain Store
JACKSON, Miss., Nov. 26—Judg
ment of Forrest county circuit court,
in awarding Miss Bessie Lee Cros
by, sales girl for a chain store at
Hattiesburg, damages from the com
pany was affirmed today by the Mis
sissippi supreme court, which, how
ever reduced the sum from $20,000
to SIO,OOO.
The evidence showed that a small
amount of money was missed from
one of the cash drawers in the store,
and that Miss Crosby was accused
of the theft, forcibly taken in charge
by a detective, taken to the rear of
the store, struck several times, bad
ly bruised, and forced to sign a con
fession.
Later investigation showed there
was no actxal loss of money, that
earlier in the day the young woman
had pressed the wrong key on the
cash register and was correcting the
error as she made other sales dur
ing the day.
Preacher Fatally
Stricken in Pulpit
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Nov. 26.
Rev. M. K. Ridings, sixty-six, pastor
of the Fifteenth Street M. E. church,
south, occupying the pulpit at the
Hinton Street church Sunday morn
ing at 11 o’clock, was stricken with
apoplexy during the delivery of his
sermon and expired before his re
moval to a local hospital could be
completed. The deceased had been
a resident of the city for a number
of years. He leaves three sons and
three daughters.
Atlantian Is Given
Year m Prison in
. Carolina Bank Case
CHARLESTON, S. C., Nov. 27.
H. Lee Harvey, of Atlanta, brother
of former Governor Wilson G. Har
vey, of South Carolina, was sent
enced to one year’s imprisonment
and $5,000 fine in court here Monday
following a plea of guilty to viola
tion of the state banking laws in
connection with the failure of the
Enterprise bank of which he was a
director, and the former governor
president.
Judge I. W. Bowman first sen
tenced Harvey to two years in prison
and $5,000 fine, but reduced the
prison term when the defendant ask
ed leave to withdraw his guilty plea
so his case might go before a jury.
The defendant was indicated at the
same time as the former governor,
whose trial on a similar charge was
postponed until the next term of
court when called here today. The
specific charge was that H. Lee
Harvey had violated section 276 of
the South Carolina banking law by
making a loan, as director of the
bank, to a corporation in which he
was interested in an amount greater
than that permitted by law.
The former governor was tried last
week on another indictment charg
ing violation of the law by receiving
deposits after he knew that the bank
was insolvent, a mistrial resulting.
DEMOITS UiGED
TH SUPPORT PLANS
FOR LOWER TAXES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Consid
eration of “mere temporary par
tisan advantage” will not tempt the
Democratic members of congress “to
play cheap or mean politics at the
expense of the people as it did the
Republicans during 1919 and 1920,”
Representative Garrett, of Tennes
see, declares in a statement urging
abstinence from partisanship in deal
ing with the problem of taxation.
Mr. Garrett who is expected to be
re-elected Democratic leader in the
house, excepts only “the present in
quitous high tariff” in his appeal for
non-partisan consideration of the
“twin question of revenue and fi
nance.”
His statement, issued after a con
ference "with Representative Cordell
Hull, of Tennessee, -chairman of the
Democratic national committee, em
phasizes with references to Secre
tary Mellon’s proposals for tax re
ductions that “everybody, every
where” favors reducing the normal
taxes.
The question of differentiating be
tween earned and unearned incomes
has always had the support of “all
members” in principle, he says, but
it has not been put into effect be
cause of “Republican opposition and
the extreme difficulty of its success
ful administration.”
“The worst enemy of honest,
equitable internal tax revision,” Mr-
Garrett asserts, “is the person who
injects political or factional consid
erations or collateral controversies
which bear no relation to the single
problem of scientific equitable taxa
tion-”
Man Tried to Flag
Tram That Killed
Wife in Stalled Car
MONTETUMA, Ga., Nov. 26
Maria Mix, a. negro servant of Mr.
and Mrs. J. B. Easterlin, of Monte
zuma, who was seriously injured
late Saturday afternoon when Mrs.
Easterlin was killed by a train which
struck the automobile in which they
were seated, was still alive today,
though chances for- her recovery were
slight.
The accident occurred when the
automobile, driven by Mr. Easterlin,
stalled on the Central of Georgia
track. Mr. Easterlin seeing south
bound passenger train No. 5 ap
proaching, jumped out of the car and
ran up the track, trying to flag the
train to stop. The engineer put on
brakes, but could not stop the train
in tjme, and the automobile was
dragged a distance of 200 yards.
Mrs. Easterlin was instantly killed
and the negro servant was probably
fatally injured. Mr. Easterlin is a
coal dealer of Montezuma. The acci
dent occurred at a crossing between
Montezuma and Oglethorpe.
One Killed, Two Hurt
As Auto Hits Wagon
Near Flowery Branch
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga., Nov.
26. —Wallace Waldrip was instantly
killed and Fred Orr and Earl Bag
by were injured in an automobile
accident here about eight o’clock
Saturday night on the Iron Bridge
road about two miles from town.
The automobile was being driven
with only a lantern for a light and
collided with a two-horse wagon,
the tongue of which came up
through the windshield striking
Waldrip just below the neck, break
ing it. He was picked up and
brought here, but was dead when he
arrived. Bagby and Orr were able
to return to their home after re
ceiving medical attention from Dr.
W. W. Liles.
The funeral of Waldrip, who was
20 years old, was held at Pleasant
Grove in Forsyth county yesterday.
As large a crowd as was ever seen
.in that section paid a last tribute
to the young man. Besides his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Waldrip,
he is survived by several brothers
and sisters.
Auto Drags Woman
Victim Nearly Mile,
Unknown to Driver
CHICAGO, Nov. 26.—An unidenti
fied woman was dragged approxi
mately one mile and killed last
night by an automobile, the driver
of which learned he had struck her
only after the machine had run into
a ditch. Even then, despite a trail
of ripped garments, the driver sa.d
he thought the body already was in
the ditch when he crashed into it
when blinded by the lights of anoth
er- automobile.
Leroy Wilcox, nineteen, the drive’',
was arrested and charged with man
slaughter. He was released on
$5,000 bond.
The woman was about thirty-five
years old, 5 feet 5 inches tall and
weighed 130 pounds.
Her death brought the number of
fatal motor cai' accidents in Chicago
since January 1 to 643.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 29, im
TJX MOTION NOT
ID PREVENT BONUS.
SENATOR DECLARES
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—Theije
is little likelihood of any tax reduc
tion which is conditioned upon the
defeat of the soldiers’ bonus bill.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, the
Democratic leader, declared today
on his return to Washington.
“If the administration,” Senator
Robinson said, “commits itself to
the policy that the maintenance of
the present so-called nuisance taxes
and rates on earned incomes is in
dispensible and unavoidable, should
the bonus bill be passed, little will
be accomplished in the way of tax
reduction.
“Everyone must be appreciative of
the benfits to industry and business
generally likely to result from a re
duction in the prevailing high taxes,
including the tariff as it affects
many of the necessities of life.?
Declaring that the expenses inci
dent to adjusted compensation may
be borne by a bond issue, Senator
Robinson said the passage of bonus
legislation would have “wholesome
influence on general conditions, par
ticularly in relieving the government
of the charge of ingratitude to our
soldiers.”
“While, it is not to be expected
that a general revision of the tariff
can be accomplshed during the ap
proaching session of congress,” Mr.
Robinson said, “many Democrats,
including myself, beiieve that a
number of features of this form of
taxation should receive considera
tion, and that relief from them will
prove gratifying and beneficial to
the general public along with a ju
dicisbus revision of income tax rates.
“These subjects invite and should
receive intelligent and fair-minded
treatment, and it is to be hoped that
the proposal of Mr. Mellon may be
come the basis for remedial action
by congress without estopping the
law-making body from recognizing
the claims and interests of the men
who made great sacrifices during
the war. The congress will not be
stampeded by the very great influ
ences at work to make it appear
that partial relief from existing tax
burdens can be accomplished only
by denying just and generous treat
ment to former service men.
“Some fear that an adidtional bond
issue might reduce the value of the
outstanding obligations of this gov
ernment. Whatever might be the
temporary effect, there is not the
slightest likelihood of seriously or
permanently impairing the security
of any obligation now in existence
by the adoption of any plan for ad
justed compensation.
“Legislation for disabled veterans,
adequate hospitalization and com
pensation must be provided, what
ever else may be done.”_

CALLED TO CAUCUS
BY SENATOR LODGE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—A for
mal for a conference of senate
Republicans next Saturday went out
today from the office of Senator
Lodge, of Massachusetts, the Repub
lican leader. The purpose will be to
select the majority candidate for
president pro tem and the party
leader and whip.
Senate Democrats under present
plans will hold their conference next
Monday, two hours in advance of
the convening of the 68th congress.
Senator Robinson, of Arkansas, is
assured of election as Democratic
leader, while Senator Pittman, of
Nevada, is likely to be the majority
candidate for president pro torn and
Senator Gerry, of Rhode Island,
Democratic whip.
Senator Cummins, of lowa, still is
considering which of his two jobs
