M’ADOO TURNS GUNS
DN WALL STREET IN
i Chattanooga talk;
• " CHATTANOOGA, March 19. ;
William G. McAdoo, candidate for
the Democratic nomination for pres- I
ident, made a short address to his ;
old home town folks here yesterday, j
in which he again announced that ,
1 should he be elected that he will
see that no Wall Street man is ap
pointed secretary of the treasury ,
and that no man of sinister in
fluence will he allowed to take
Charge of the federal reserve sys- :
tern. ,
“Now they say both political par- |
ties are alike,’’ said Mr. McAdoo. I
“They are making the people believe ,
that both of them are alike and all I
you have to do is to take your choice I
between a reactionary and 'Wall
Street. The two parties are just as |
different as the two poles. W hat ,
do we stand for? The great Jeffer- '
I son phrased it, the great Andrew
Jackson confirmed it and rephrased
It—‘Equal opportunity for all and
special privilege to none.’
“Republicans stand for special
privileges to some always and equal |
~ . opportunity to none. That is an ■
' important difference.
' I “Now I am going to give you an ,
Illustration applicable to that prin
! cipie. You know that every year
. i prior to 1913 we heard a. lot about
stringency; every year they just

i the last drop. A high rate of inter
est was charged if he could get
money at all.
“They also bled the business man
by getting a high rate of interest.
Who is responsible for this? M all
< Street did it all the time.
• Called Bank Conference
“When I became secretary of the
treasury I found that there was a
surplus of $150,000,000 in the treas
ury. I asked some of the big hanks
how much it was going to cost to
move the crops, and not knowing
what I had in mind, they said it
would take about $150,000,000, and
I said I have got the money, and I
I will move it at once myself.
“So I made the announcement
without saying anything to Wall
Street about it. I put the people’s
• money in the banks all over the coun
try to move the crops upon condi-
! t.ion that the banks would pass it on
Ito the farmers and business men at
reasonable rates of interest.
“The first result was this: Wall
Street said I did not have the money
i in the treasury, but I knew I had
it, because I had counted it, and
I knew darn well I had it, and they
I found out pretty soon I did have it.
I sent telegrams to the bankers all
over the country and told them to
I come to Washington, that I wanted
. to consult with them; 1 wanted to
- I know how much money was needed
• ito move the crops. For two days
they held a conference, and when
i they got through they gave me a
'list of the banks that wanted to get
the deposits, and it was between
$50,000,000 and $60,000,000. Wall
■Street said it would take $150,000,-
■ I “Immediately after that an
rnouncement the rate of interest in
'Wall Street fell and they began to
’ (compete with the federal reserve sys
tem in lending money at reasonab e
rates of interest throughout the
(country. It took just $37,000,000 to
get the crops moving.’’

Madame Marie Curie, who refused profit, commensurate with the
importance of the discovery of radium.
Her Only Bitterness Comes
From Husband's Disap
pointment in Never Having
Had Laboratory He Wanted
PARIS, March 20. —Poverty?—not
at all.
Bitterness? —maybe just a bit, be
cause all his life her husband want
ed an adequate laboratory and didn’t
get. it.
These are, perhaps the high spots
in a talk I had with Madame Marie
Curie, who has bben called the
greatest woman in the world —dis-
coverer of radium and polonium.
Listen to Madame Curie:
“Poverty? But no, no! And yet
it all depends upon what you mean
by poverty. If you mean not having
a fine mansion with plenty of serv
ants and automobiles; if you mean
not going out into the great world
of society and wealth and fashion
where clothes and jewels are so
essential, well, in that way Pierre
Curie and I knew poverty all our
days.
“But that was not his idea of life,
nor mine. You see my tastes are
very simple and my worldly wants
very few. I live where my husband
and I lived for years. It’s a plain
little place, but it’s comfortable.”
I would like you to see Madame
Curie as she was saying this. She
was dressed in a severe black dress
which certainly looked the worse for
wear. No vanity in this woman.
Her iron-gray hair was brushed
back from her fine brow. Her hands,
as they lay at rest in her lap,
showed the stains of work, not only
of laboratory research, but of every
day housework.
Her Life in Brief
To understand this woman you
have to get her background. Her
father, the Polish Professor Sklo
dowski, was a teacher of physics
and chemistry in his native city of
Warsaw. Little Marie’s playroom
was literally her father’s laboratory.
When she grew up she came to
Paris to pursue her studies at the
Sorbonne. She lived in a tiny room
on the seventh floor of a building in
the Latin Quarter. She lugged up
her own coal and did her own cook
ing and washing.
It was at the Sorbonne that she
met Pierre Curie, already a teacher
there and on the high road to fame.
They were married in 1895 and their
home consisted of three little rooms.
At one time Madame Curie was
doing three things any one of which
the ordinary woman would have
considered a good day’s job—she ran
her household and looked after her
first-born: she taught at a high
school for girls at Sevres; and in
their spare time, she and her hus
band pursued their great chemical
researches in a laboratory in a half
shed, and impossible to heat in
winter.
Their love story, which began
with their first meeting, had a
tragic finale in 1906 when Pierre
Curie was run over and killed. His
widow succeeded him in his chair at
the Sorbonne, one of the highest
honors ever paid a woman by
France.
Madame Curie went on in her
talk:
"My husband always insisted and
I*agreed that the great thing in life
was accomplishment of the task for
the love of it. When we discovered
radium, we both resolved to draw
no material profit from it. We pub
lished everything to the world and
gave all information possible to per
sons properly interested.
Unexpected Funds
“Sometimes money came to us
from unexpected sources. My hus
band and I, jointly with Professor
Becquerel, received the Noble Prize
in 1903. We spent our part on
scientific research. I did the same
thing with the Noble Prize awarded
me in 1911. Money flows through
your fingers when you think of it
only in terms of laboratories and
expensive minerals that you need
I in your researches.
, “And that leads me to my only
I bitterness. All his life my husband
: had to pursue his great scientific
i work without an adequate labora
i tory. Once the French government
i wanted to make him a member of
• the Legion of Honor. He refused,
. saying he didn't need a decoration,
but had the very greatest need of a
laboratory. In this regard I am
now better off than he ever was.
You see me installed here in the
new laboratory of the Sorbonne. But
lit is still incomplete. France has
, such a mass of things it is trying to

do and the funds are often hard to
find.
“I lecture twice a week in the
Sorbonne and I work in this labora
tory, assisted by my eider daughter,
Irene. So even after I am gone,
there will be a Curie to go on with
the Avork.”
I asked her whether she was ever
coming back to America. She smiled
one of her wistful smiles:
“I may never get a chance to go
back to your generous country. I
am kept so busy here. You can tell
the American women the magnifi
cent gift of radium they made to
me when I was over there is being
employed both in experiments and
in curative work. But for the
American women, I could not have
gone ahead as I desired.’’

Caraway Asks Hughes
Why He Stayed Silent
On Seeing Fight Film
WASHINGTON, March 19.—Secre
tary Hughes was asked in the sen
ate Tuesday by Senator Caraway,
Democrat, Arkansas, to explain to
the country why he had remained
silent so long regarding his attend
ance at the home of E. B. McLean
here in 1921 at an exhibition of the
Dempsey-Carpentier fight films.
As a lawyer and a former justice
of the supreme court, Senator Cara
way said, Mr. Hughes knew when
he saw the exhibition that there had
been a violation of the law in bring
ing the films Into the District of
Colurfibia.
Senator Reed, Democrat, Missouri,
suggested that the secretary of state
may have been present to study "the
international questions presented in
the films.”
“I wonder if we will be called
upon,’’ said Senator Caraway, “to re
mit the fines which the 'aw imposed
upon the attorney general, the sec
retary of state, the postmaster gen
eral, the then vice president (Mr.
Coolidge) and other cabinet officers
who participated in this showing, be
cause those who participate! in it
were guilty of violating the law.”
Attorney General Daugherty was
assailed by Senator Caraway for hav
ing attempted to “blacken the char
acter of Roxie Stinson,” a star wit
ness in the senate investigation. Mr.
Daugherty had not hesitated, he said,
to “blast the reputation of the wife
of his dead friend.”
“Men with no defense,” he added,
“assail the character of the witnesses
i who appear against them.”
Unless the attorney general “sus
| pended” the criminal code, Senator
: Caraway said, “al Ithose who were
; present in the McLean residence
(when the prize fight films were ex
hibited must be prosecuted for con
spiracy to violate the law.”
Cheaper Process for
Arsenate Sought
WASHINGTON, March 19.—Sen
ator W. J. Harris introduced an
amendment to the department of ag
riculture appropriation bill Tuesday
providing SIOO,OOO for use by the de
partment in developing a cheaper
process for making calcium arsenate
used in fighting the cotton boll wee
vil.
Senator Harris conferred today
with Dr. W. D. Hunter, of the de
partment in charge of southern crop
wor, and he expressed the view that
a process could be developed which
would make it possible to produce
calcium arsenate at five cents per
pound, which is about one-half of
the present cost. Senator Harris
said he had assurances that officials
of the department would approve an
appropriation for this work.

W. J. KIU HIOUS
FOR mra HIND
IT DEMOCRAT HELM
OMAHA, Neb., March 19.—Wil
liam Jennings Bryan i.s not a candi
date for the presidency but is
anxious to see a younger man take
leadership of the Democratic party,
he said today in commenting on the
recent action by members of the Ok
lahpma legislature who indorsed him
for president.
Mr. Bryan, stopping off here en
route to Lincoln, added that only in
“the very remote contingency” that
the party “cannot find any one else
to draft” would he consider getting
into the presidential race. .In that
event he said he would consider
whether it was his duty.
Mr. Bryan had not heard of the
action in Oklahoma, but apparently
was gratified.
"I am like the colored man,” he
said, “who was asked to change a
$lO bill and replied: ’I can't do it, but.
I appreciate the compliment.’ I am
not a candidate and I am anxious
to see a younger man nominated
who can do what I did in 1896, name
ly, take up the leadership of the
party and continue the fight until
victory is won.”
Prediction of victory for his party
was made by Mr. Bryan, who as
serted the party's nominee for pres
ident should be “progressive ’ ami
dry.’’
G. o. r. POLICY REVEALED
IN PROBE, SAYS BRYAN
CHICAGO, March I!).—William
Jennings Bryan here en route to
Lincoln, Neb., his former home, to
spend his sixty-fourth birthday, de
clares the senate oil quiz reveals “an
old Republican policy of paying back
campaign contributions by adminis
trative and legislative favors.”
“The charges against Daugherty
are simply those of common, graft,
personal corruption, and contami
nate only the guilty,” Mr. Bryan
says, “but the oil quiz involves, the
granting of privilege and reveals a
Republican policy.
“Few public men are corrupted
by the payment of money, but a
great many are perverted by a false
policy. A man who believes in vot
ing away valuable favors in retprn
for campaign contribution does not
need to be corrupted with money.
He is corrupted by crooked princi
ple'and policy.
“The Republican party will be em
barrassed by having to defend this
policy unless it rejects it entirely.
If it rejects it, it will find it as hard
to collect campaign contributions as
the Democrats do.”
Mr. Bryan said he had promised
himself he will attend the Demo
cratic convention in New York this
summer. If he does not go as a
delegate from Florida, he said, he
will be in the press box, “even if I
have to carry copy.”
Deputy Sheriff Slain
By Unknown Assassin
From Doorway of Case
TARPON SPRINGS, Fla., March
19. —Deputy Sheriff J. Wilbur
Cooper was shot and instantly killed
here shortly after midnight when
an unknown person fired a shotgun
from the sidewalk through the front
screen door of a case where Cooper
and a dozen others were seated.
Seven buckshot entered Cooper's
head. None of the others in the
case were hurt, although several
narrowly escaped when shots went
through their clothing.
Immediately after the shooting
the murderer jumped into an auto
mobile which had been left nearby
with tne engine running, and es
caped. There has been no arrest
and no clue to the identity of the
assassin has been found.
An inquest will be held at 2
o'clock this afternoon.
Cooper is survived by a widow
and three children.
Harns Gets 15 Years
In Grady County Killing
CAIRO. Ga., March 19.—A jury in
superior court here today returned a
vedict of voluntary manslaughter
against W. M. Harris, a 50-year-old
farmer residing near Whigham in
this county for the murder January
12, last, of Norman Wimberly, a
Whigham taxi driver. The sentence
was fixed at fifteen to twenty years.
The fatal shooting was the out
growth of an argument which took
place at the close of a dance at Har
ris' home. Harris claimed that Wim
berley and another guest cursed be
fore his wife and children, and that
he shot Wimberly because he refused
to leave his house after repeated re
quests. The case reached the judy
at 9 o’clock last night and the jury
deliberated until 2 o’clock this morn
ing, at which time they requested to
be allowed to retire. They resumed
their deliberations at 8:30 o’clock
this morning and reached a verdict
in a short time.
Attorneys for Harris will make a
motion for a new trial it is said.

IN EIGHT FRIENDS’ HANDS

Had Presidency in Mind
When He Consented to
Make Governor’s Race,
Letter to intimate Reveals
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(('op.vrisht, 1921. I'.v tlie George H. Boran
company in the IJnllod States, Canada, South
America. World publication rights reserved
by Current News Features, Incorporated.)
CHAPTER XI
Woodrow wilsons rise in
thp political world has so
often been described as acci
dental that undisputed evidence
showing the deliberate nature of his
departure from Princeton university
is now available to refute that the
ory.
For many years it has been con
tended by 1 those who disliked Mr. Wil
son's administration of affairs at
Princeton university that he was
forced out. The author is in posses
sion of a copy of a letter which has
never been published and which
proves conclusively that Mr. Wilson
left of his own volition and put his
fate in the hands of a group of eight
friends who had supported him in
the fight at Princeton.
The letter not only discloses that
when Mr. Wilson left Princeton he
had in mind running for the presi
dency of the United States, but it
reeval also that he was offered the
nomination for the governorship of
New Jersey without pledges of any
kind, a fact which is important to
bear in mind in view of the charges
that he had pledged himself to sup
port former United States Senator
James Smith for another term in
the senate. Mr. Wilson’s failure to
support Mr. Smith has been referred
to often as the first instance of his
ingratiude.
The letter in question was sent
from Lyme, Conn., and was dated
July 14, 1910, just a month after the
famous Wyman bequest at Prince
ton had made it appear that the
graduate school project which Mr.
Wilson favored would be superseded
by that of Dean Andrew F. West.
Mr. Wilson’s letter was addressed to
Henry B. Thompson, of Wilmington
Del., a member of the class of 1877
in Princeton, and a trustee of the
university, who bad supported Mr.
Wilson’s viewpoint in the graduate
school controversy.
\Letter Only Record
Mr. Thompson had gone to Eu
rope so the letter written him is th*
only actual record which Mr. Wilson
made of the famous conference
which was the turning point in his
career. It reads:
“My Dear Thompson:
“I would have given a great deal
to see you before you left the coun
try for I have needed your counsel
very greatly and have had to decide
a very important matter without let
ting you know even that it was
pending.
“I have been asked by the men
most influential in the Democratic
party in New Jersey whether I
would accept the nomination for gov
ernor next autumn if it came to me
unsought, unanimously, and without
pledges of any kind, and I have felt
obliged to say that I would. This
is just the duly I have preached
to my classes all my Ife, and the
men I was able to consult (Dodge,
Sheldon, McCormick, the Joneses,
Jacobus, Mcllvaine) have all said
what the Chicago men put into this
telegram:
“ ‘All four concur unreservedly in
the opinion that no obligation what
ever exists on your part, either to
any individual supporter or to the
university as a whole, which should
deter you from following your own
inclination. Question what you had
better do is largely personal to your
self. We do not feel sufficiently
clear on the subject we advise. We
appreciate your perplexity and our
sympathies are and will continue to
be with you. Whatever your con
clusion may be you can rely on our
hearty support in any field of serv
ice you may enter upon.’
“Surely a more generous telegram
was never sent! I had said to them
that I felt myself so deeply their
debtor that 1 was ready and willing
to accept any conclusion they might
arrive at as to my obligations to
them and to Princeton and, of
course, I should have included you
if you had been within reach of
conference.
I’residency in Mind
“Os course the men who are plan
ning my nomination for the govern
orship look forward to putting me
up for the presidential nomination
later; and there have been some
rather extraordinary indications
that that is what Democrats in other
parts of the country want. The
suggestion came from the middle
west. But I have not allowed that
part of the program to form my
opinions as to my duty in the mat
ter of the governorship. I wish a
letter were an adequate medium for
setting forth the whole matter; but
it is not. Os course, I am giving
you the bare bulk of the thing be
cause I want you tg learn of this
from me, and because it gives me an
opportunity to tell you how happy
and proud I have been to win your
friendship and support, how deeply
I have admired the firmness, the
good feeling, the courage, and the
unhesitating following of conviction

"Cordially and gratefully yours,
‘‘ WOODRO W WILSON.’ ’
The men mentioned in the letter
are Cleveland H. Dodge, of the
Phelps-Dodge copper interests:
Cyrus H. McCormick, president of
the International Harvester com
pany; Edward D. Sheldon, president
of the United States Trust company,
all four of whom were in Mr. Wil
son’s class in 1879 at Princeton;
David Jones (since deceased) and
Thomas D. Jones, of Chicago, of the
class of 1876, twin brothers who be
came prominent in business affairs
in the middle west; M. W. Jacobus,
of the clss of 1877, dean of artford
Theological seminary, and Charles
Mc'.vaine, of the class of 1886, a
Chicago lawyer and also alumni
trustee.
These men were in the aggregate
very wealthy ind they were in a
position to finance a campaign if
need be. Some of them did con
tribute to the campaign of 1912. All
of them remained Mr. Wilson’s per
sonal friends throughout his entire
life although two —Mr. Thompson
and Mr. Jacobus, did not support
him politically in his last term.
Personal Ties Unbroken
The story of this little, group
whose support enabled Woodrow
Wilson to cast off collegiate ties and
take a plunge into the dark of poli
tics is one us the episodes which
point clearly to the fact that while
he had many breaks in official life
he never really abandoned the close
personal ties of earlier days.
It is a fact that none of these
men had official business or political
relations with him. They sought
nothing. He endeavored to make
Thomas D. Jones governor of the
federal reserve system just after the
federal reserve act was passed but
a controversy in the senate prevent
ed confirmation.
Personal friendships— not political
or official) —they were. No differences
of principle or policy could arise to
cause friction. There were others,
too, like Robert Bridges, associate
editor of Scribner’s, another class
mate; Dean Henry B. Fine, of
Princeton, who was offered the am
bassadorship to Germany but de
clined, and Professor William M.
Daniels, who subsequnently became
one of the most valued members of
the interstate commerce commission,
—all of whom should be classed as
among the really intimate friends of
Woodrow Wilson. So was Professor
Stockton Axson, of Princeton, a

him, always in his thoughts as the
unwavering friends of a limetime.

steps leading up to Woodrow Wil

A MAN WHO BECAME
FAMOUS
Doctor R. V. Pierce, whose picture
appears above, was not only a suc
cessful physician but also a pro
found student of the medicinal
qualities of Nature’s remedies, roots
and herbs, and by close observation
of the methods used ?.y the Indians,
he discovered their great remedial
qualities, especially for weaknesses
of women, and after careful prepara
tion succeeded in giving to the world
a remedy which has been used by
women with the best results for half
a century. Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre
scription is still in great demand,
while many other so called “cure
alls” have come and gone. The rea
son for its phenomenal success is
because of its absolute purity, and
Dr. Pierce’s high standing as an
honored citizen of Buffalo is a guar
antee of all that is claimed for the
Favorite Prescription as a regulator
for the ills peculiar to women.

SATURDAY. MARCH 22. 1924.
GEORGIANS PAY 0. 5.
$2,357,537 INCOME
TOES TO MARCH 15
Georgians paid the United States
government a total of $2,357,597.43
in income taxes from March 1, 1924,
to March 15, 1924, both dates inclu
sive, according to figures made pub
lic Wednesday at,the office of Josiah
T. Rose, collector of internal reve
nues for this district.
This figure, which does not in
clude collections prior to March 1,
represents an increase of 5 1-2 pet
cent over the approximately $2,243,-
000’collected during the same period
in 1923.
This increase, officials stated, al
though relatively small when com
pared with the 24 per cent increase
over the previous year reported in
1923, does not represent a true com
parison between the actual taxable
incomes reported in 1923 and 1924.
The relatively small increase this
year, officials said, is due to the fact
that, this year practically all tax
payers chose the quarterly system
of payment.
"The taxpayers hope, by delaying
payments, to save whatever congress
may cut off from the income taxes
during the year," declared one offi
cial.
“The increase, although relatively
small, was much larger than was ex
pected, and really indicated a much
larger amount of taxable incomes
than was reported in 1923.”
