COOPERS ffIOITTEO
OE RANK-WRECKING
CHARGE IN CAROLINA
WILMINGTON, N. C., Feb. 16.
(By the Associated Press.) —Acquit-
ted this afternoon of a charge of
conspiracy, Lieutenant Governor W.
B. Cooper, of North Carolina, ex
pressed confidence that he would be
completely exonerated of other crim
inal charges brought against him as
chairman of the board of the defunct
Commercial National Bank of Wil- j
mington.
The verdict of the jury delivered
this afternoon freed Lieutenant Gov
ernor Cooper and Thomas E. Coop
er, his brother, on the first of five
indictments brought in connection
with the bank’s failure. The other
charges are set for trial at the regu
lar term of court in May.
Belief that the jury's verdict was
vindication of charges of conspiring
to defraud and to misapply funds of
the lank of which he was innocent
wag expressed by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Cooper. He said he had not
resigned his office in the state gov
ernment because he had felt confi
dent that he would be acquitted.
“My relations with the bank were
honest and my efforts were to build
up,” the lieutenant governor said
tonight, “and 1 believed all along
that the jury would not find that
I had conspired to wreck it.” No
statement was made by the young
er brother, who was president of the
bank.
The jury’s verdict came after two
weeks of a trial which has been un
usual in that it was the first crimi
nal action in North Carolina in
which a prominent bank official has I
been the accused. The jury received
the case three hours before its de
cision was announced by J. L. Out
law, of Duplin, the foreman, and
after three ballots had been taken.
It was reported that the vote was
eleven to one for acquittal on the
first two ballots.
Judge Henry G. Connor commend
ed the jury on its verdict and said
that if he had been a member of the
jury he also would have voted for
acquittal.
Judge Connor's charge to the jury
eliminated from consideration of the
jury all of the charges except that
in connection with a note for $13,500
signed by E. L. Sanderson, of Cerro
Gordo, N. C., as an accommodation
paper for T. E. Cooper. The indict
ment charged that through this
transaction, the brothers had con
spired to convert $12,905 of the
bank’s funds to the I personal credit
of T. E. Cooper. Judge Connor found
for the defense on its contention
that conspiracy had not been proved
in connection with fifteen other al
leged offenses and twenty alleged
overt acts in the Indictment, includ
ing the sale of most of Lieutenant
Governor Cooper's stock in the bank
before Its failure.
Wilson-Colby Firm
Declined to Represent
Sinclair, Paper Says
NEW YORK, Feb. 16.—Bainbridge
Colby, former secretary of state, de
clined to comment today on a Wash
ington dispatch to the Evening
World which asserted that Harry F.
Sinclair, the oil magnate, had ap
proached Mr. Colby, as a law part
ner of the late Woodrow Wilson in
the spring of 1922, with a proposal
that his firm represent the Sinclair
interests in any litigation that might
result from the Teapot Dome lease.
Mr. Colby read the dispatch care
fully and said: “I have no comment
to make on the report.”
The story declared that when the
proposal was made Mr. Colby re
ferred It to Mr. Wilson, who imme
dia uly decided that it could not be
accepted. In this decision Mr. Colby
acquiesced, the dispatch added.
Mr. Sinclair's offer, the dispatch
declared, was made after Senator
Kendrick and Senator La Follette had
offered resolutions for an investiga
tion into the oil lease.

TJX BILL STRUGGLE
SHAPES IIP JS EIGHT
OILER COMPROMISE
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.—The tax
bill, which has had a stormy prog
ress through the ways and means
comjnittee of the house, and which
was reported favorably out of the
courtesy to Secretary Mellon so that
he might have a record vote on the
25 per cent surtax rate, now faces
a more perilous situation.
Republican leaders like Represent
ative Longworth who from the first
saw the necessity of a compromise
have done all they could to keep
faith with the administration but
they realize now that unless a com
promise is made at 35 per cent on
the high surtax rates not only will
there be no chatice at all for the 25
per cent rate recommended by Mr.
Mellon, but there is a likelihood the
Democratic plan of forty-four per
cent will prevail.
Republican leaders wanted to re
port the bill out of committee with
a 35 pfer cent surtax but the admin
istration begged them to stand pat
and give the bill a chance before the
full membership of the house. Ac
cordingly men like Chairman Green
who do not favor the 25 per cent sur
tax rate voted to report the bill to
the house but gave notice they could
not support the same rates on the
final vote. The administration felt
that no compromising should be done
at least until both houses had pass
ed the measure and it was up in con
ference.
Not Sure of 35 Per Cent
But the parliamentary situation is
such that the Republican leaders,
cannot get the house to pass a 25
per cent surtax and they are not al
together sure they can put over 35
per cent. It all depends on whether
any Democratic support is forthcom
ing. The Democrats met in caucus
two days ago and 164 of them pledg
ed themselves to stand by the Gar
ner plan of 44 per cent surtaxes.
Thirty or more Democrats were ab
sent. The Republican leaders would
need only a handful of Democrats
to put their program through if they
could only be sure of their own
ranks, but insurgents, mostly from
the west, are opposed even to 35 per
cent and think the Democratic plan
a safer one from a political stand
point.
As amendments are voted on the
Republican leaders realize that they
must in some way compel a vote ou
the 35 per cent rate before there is
an opportunity for the Democrats
to compel a coalition on 44 per cent.
If 35 per cent should be beaten, there
is some chance of a Democratic com
promise at around 35 or 40 per cent.
The plan is to offer an amendment
fqr each per cent until that point is
reached where a majority of the
house will agree.
The situation is almost unpre
cedented. While there is a good deal
of politics in it, party lines are be
ing broken right and. left and the
lineup is not between Republicans
and Democrats but between those
who think they are stimulating the
business and industrial prosperity
of the country by relieving capital
of restrictions.
Battle for Coi promise
If the Republican leaders can get
a 35 per cent surtax rate through
the house, they will be lucky indeed
and if the senate sees the wisdom
of Secretary Mellon’s arguments the
battle in conference between the
two houses would be for a compro
mise between 25 and 35 per cent.
There is going to be a compromise
in the end and much of the jockey
ing being done now is for the pur
pose of attaining a maximum that
is not too far away from Mr. Mel
lon’s 25 per cent.
The senate, on the other hand, may
prove more radical than th house,
la any event the moves of the next
week in the house will have an im
portant bearing on what is finally
accomplished. Curiously enough the
main fight is on surtaxes as there
seems to be little difference of opin
ion on other features of the bill. It
is likely, however, that the admniis
tratioq itself will be compelled .to
suggest changes in the other rates
if the 44 per cent surtax is accepted
and the Democrats likewise will
have to alter tl.eir schedule if their
44 per cent rate isn’t approved for
a tax bill is made up of a series of
balances as between various sched
ules and an alteration in one rate
makes necessary a change in other
features of the plan. Making tax
bills on the floor of the house is a
new experience for congress.
“This Is Word of Life,”
Woodrow Wilson Wrote
In a Soldier’s Bible
A beautiful sentiment is expressed
in a message written by Woodrow
Wilson, former president of the
United States, whose recent death is
mourned by the nation and the
world, on the flyleaf of a wartime
Bible in the possession of Thomas
M. Morton, radio operator at Fort
McPherson.
Following is the message:
“The Bible is the word of life. I
teg that you will read it and find
this out for yourselves. Read, not
little snatches here and there, but
long passages, that will really be
the road to the heart of it. You
will find it full of real men and
women, and the things you have
w ndered about and been troubled
about all your life, as men have been
always: and the more you read, the
more it will become plain to you
what things are worth while and
what are not. what things make men
happy: Loyalty, right dealing, speak
ing the truth, readiness to give ev

yesterday when the antique furni

experience the viewpoint of enlisted
men both in the navy and in the
marine corps. He had served as
gunner's mate aboard the converted
cruiser Yosemite during the war
with Spain and through all ranks
and grades from private to major in
the marine corps during the World
war.
Familiar With Orient
Mr. Denby also had a background
of personal information as to the
situation in China and in the Orient
generally which he drew from ten
years employment in the interna
tional customs service in China
when that service was directed by
, Sir Robert Hart. The service of Mr.
Denby began during the time that
his father, Charles Denby, of Evans
ville, Ind., was American minister
to Pekin.
Through this personal knowledge
of the Chinese customs situation,
the navy secretary was able to be
helpful to the special committees as
sembled at the time of the Washing
ton arms conference which dealt
with the Chinese abstracts of the
supplementary treaties. His execu
tive functions at the navy depart
ment were such, however, that the
task of directing the deliberations
of American expert woh helped
frame the technical clauses of the
naval limitation treaty devolved
upon Assistant Secretary Roosevelt.
Mr. Denby was born in Evansville
fifty-four years ago today. He pass
ed through the public schools of
that city. His alma mater, however,
is the University of Michigan, from
which he graduated with the degree
of L. L. D. When he entered the
cabinet he was connected with the
legal firm of Denby, Kennedy and
O'Brien, of Detroit, and was chief
probation officer of the recorder's
court of Detroit and of the circuit
court of Wayne county, Michigan.
After his return from China, Mr.
Denby began his political career
when he was elected in 1903 to the
Michigan house of representatives.
He w-as chosen to the 59th congress
as a member of the house from Mich
igan, and served there from 1905 to
1911. He later was a member of
the Detroit charter commission, and
when the United States entered the
World war in April, 1917, he prompt
ly enlisted as a private in the ma
rine corps and was sent to the ma
rine corps training camp at Paris Is
land, S. C., where virtually all of his
war service was rendered, the only
exception being a trip to France in
1918 as an observer of French meth
ods of training.
Studied Discipline Closely
Although a provisional major of
tne marine corps, reserve division, at
the end of the war, he resigned that
commission before he became secre
tary of the navy. He carried with
him into the navy department, how
ever, strong opinions both as a law
yer and as an enlisted man as to
disciplinary processes, and through
out his term ns secretary devoted
much time to the study of the cases
of enlisted men found guilty by
courts-martial, arriving at independ
ent conclusions frequently as to the
degree of clemency which should be
exercised.
fishness, cowardice, greed and ev
erything that is low and mean.

SENATOR WOUNDED.
COOLIDGE DEMANDS
ACTION 0) PODGE
WASHINGTON., Feb. 16—An op
eration described as successful was
performed late today upon Senator
Frank L. Greene, of Vermont, 'who
was wounded in the head by a pistol
bullet last night during a battle be
tween alleged bootleggers and pro
hibition agents and police almost
within the shadow of the capitol.
Splinters of bone which were driv
en into his head by the stray bullet
were removed, about one and one
half square inches of bone being
talken out. Afterward attending
surgeons said the senator was "rest
ing as comfortably as possible” and
that the “prognosis is good, provided
no complications set in.” The opera
tion was performed under a local
anaesthetic.
The' reverberations from the inci
dent in the capital were almost as
instantaneous and sharp as the bat
tle itself, the entire prohibition en
forcement situation which for
months has been the center of criti
cism and controversy being again
projected into the forefront of dis
cussion with indications that the
whole question will be aired in con
gress.
President Coolidge, evidenced his
personal interest in the situation
by inquiring at the hospital concern
ing Mr. Greene’s condition. At the
same time White House officials
inquired of police what ..action was
being taken against those respon
sible and were informed that the
cases of three men held in connec
tion with the shooting were un
der consideration in the district at
torney’s office.
The police refrained from discuss
ing the affair, but the intelligence
office of the treasury was ordered
to make a thorough investigation,
while Roy Haynes, prohibition com
missioner, declared the incident a
"very unfortunate one.”
The three men taken into custody
were James Raymond Beavers. Sil
ver Hill, Md., and Benjamin Chesa
voir, of this city, who the police
said were believed to be bootleggers ,
who had figured in the shooting,
and O. E. Fisher, a prohibition
agent, who is charged by the police
with firing the shot which struck
Senator Greene.
Beavers and Chesavoir. who were
apprehended by detectives after a
chase across the Potomac into the 1
Virginia hills, were released on I
$3,000 bail each, and Fisher was re- i
leased on $5,000 bond. The three
are to an-ear in court Monday.
Before the operation Senator
Greene was given an X-ray exam
ination which showed that the bul
let was not lodged in the head. The i
missile had evidently struck a glanc-1
irig blow, shattering the frontal ‘
bone over the left eye, and driving
splinters inward.
Doctors Daniel L. Borden and
Charles S. White operated, with Dr.
John L. de Mayo assisting and Dr.
Thomas Linville, Senator Greene’s
family physician, present. Eight or
ten pieces of bone were extracted
and the surgeons said that barring
complications, the patient should re
cover, as he had stood the operation
well.
I Peyton Gordon, United States dis
trict attorney, is active in the case
jand it is possible that more serious
I charges may be preferred against
!the three implicated in the shoot
ing. They are now held on charges
of assault with dangerous weapons.

BEAUTY DOCTOR
A Beauty Specialist Gives Home-
Made Recipe to Darken Gray Hair
Mrs. M. D. Gillespie, a well-known
beauty specialist of Kansas City, re
i cently gave out the following state
-1 ment regarding gray hair:
“Anyone can prepare a simple
mixture at home that will darken
> gray hair, and make it soft and
glossy. To a half-pint of water add
• 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box
of Barbo Compound and 1-4 ounce of
glycerine.
“These ingredients can be pur
; chased at any drug store at very lit
' tie cost. Apply to the hair twice
a week until the desired shade is
I obtained. This will make a gray
' haired person look twenty years
: younger. It does not color the scalp,
is not sticky or greasy and will not
' rub off.” —(Advertisement.)

GE BURNING I GIRLS
TO GET HUGE
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn., Feb. 15.
Charles Hawkins, fifty-nine, is in
jail here charged with murder and
arson following the finding of the
mutilated and charred bodies of his
five-year-old daughter, Nancy Haw- i
. ns, and his twelve-year-old step
daughter, Rosa Ledwell, in the ashes .
of his home, three miles south of ,
Johnson City, which burned to the 1
ground early Thursday. Arrest of
Hawkins followed an inquest into ,
the death of the two girls Thurs- :
day afternoon, at which circum
stances attending the burning of the '
house were brought out in testi- ,
mony.
The two bodies were charred to 1
a crisp, some of the limbs being •
burned off, and much of the flesh ;
consumed. A deep cut on the fore- ;
head of the older girl was said by j
a physician to have been made ap- ■
parently before the fire, probably
with an ax. The upper part of the
skull of the younger girl was crush
ed off when discovered.
Hawkins stated that he was awak
ened about midnight to find the room
filled with flames and smoke; that
he rushed out, procured a bucket >
of water, returned and threw it to- '
ward the bed where the two girls
were sleeping. He said he called
once, but got no response; then went
to another room and procured a
shotgun which he fired to attract
attention of neighbors, the section
of country being sparsely inhabited. ’
When arrested, Hawkins had in
his pockets two insurance policies
on. the lives of the two children, for i
$260 and $3lO, respectively. He
testified that he had been keeping :
them in his barn, but had them in '■
his possession at the time of the
fire. He appeared little concerned 1
over the occurrences of the day.
