FLORIDA WIFE SEEKS PARDON
HERE FOR HUSBAND SERVING
LIFE TERM ON CHAINGANG
Prisoner Recaptured After.
Eight Years’ Freedom on
Information Given by
Fiance of Daughter
Coming here from Wildwood. Fla.,
with two small children, one an I
t
eight-months-old baby, Mrs. J. B. ;
Hall made a personal appeal Wed
nesday to the prison commission in !
behalf of her husband, who figured
in a unique case in Georgia crim
inal history; that of a man who es
caped while serving a life sentence,
lived eight years in Florida un
detected, ana then was given up by
the suitor fo< his eldest daughter’s
hand.
Hall is back on the chaingang,
serving a life sentence imposed in
Tift county about twelve years ago,
following his conviction for murder,
and his wife is here because she
hopes to speed action on the - peti
tion for his pardon, which has been
pending since last November. Hall,
at present, is assigned to the Jack
son county camp, and his wife is
trying, she says, to manage their
small truck farm at Wildwood, with
the aid of four older children.
“I’d rather spend twenty years on
a, chaingang than have had my
daughter marry a man who betrayed
me,” is the declaration quoted to
Hall, after his arrest, and his wife
declares that John Stevens, the
young man who, she believes, gave
officers information against her j
husband, is the most unpopular cit
izen of Wildwood.
“My daughter, Robena, twenty
years old, was to have been married
in about a month, when rily hus
band vzas arrested,” said Mrs. Hall.
“This young man was the only per
son outside the family who knew
about my husband, and there is no
doubt but that he turned him up.
The deputy who arrested my hus
band said he had been investigating
about a month before he made the
arrest.”
Mrs. Hall told the commission
that her husband had proven his
ability to live a. law-abiding life by
his residence in Florida, and she
declared he was needed at home.
The baby, Tlbert, eight months old,
was born after his father was
brought back to Georgia in May,
1923. Other children are Robena, 1
Malcolm, seventeen; Elanto, four- ■
teen; I. B. Jr., twelve, and George,
five,’ the latter accompanying his
mother here.
Hall originally was sentenced to
death, but this was commuted to life
imprisonment, and he was working
on a chaingang, about a year later,
when he escaped. He went to Flor
ida. assumed the name of Forrester,
and, it is said, became a model cit
izen, until his arrest.

NOTORIOUS BANDIT.
ED LOCKHART. IS
KILLED Bi POSSE
TULSA, Okla., March 26—Ed
Lockhart, notorious bandit and bank
robber, was shot and killed in a gun
fight early today with Sheriff Bob
Sanford, of Tulsa county, and six
deputies, six miles west of Sperry,
Oklahoma.
Receiving a tip that Lockhart was
in a house on the Fred Walker
farm, the sheriff and his party sur
rounded the place just at daybreak.
Mont Grady, of Muskogee, a spe
cial officer, knocked at the front
door.
The door flew open and Lockhart
covered him with a rifle, command
ing him to “stick ’em up.”
Grady complied, and Lockhart
took the officer’s revolver.
Jack Quast, deputy sheriff, en
tered the house from the rear, and
as he came upon Lockhart and
Grady, the bandit thrust Grady in
front of him, finally backing out
of the house, and striking for the
timber, still using the officer as a
shield.
As he neared the edge of the clear
ing about the house, he fired at
Sheriff Sanford.
Deputies, who had circled about
Lockhart and Grady, than opened
fire.
Grady whirled, seized his own re
volver, which was in Lockhart’s
pocket, and without removing it
from the other's clothing, fired
once, the bullet entering Lockhart’s
be -v from the back, below the kid
ney.
Lockhart fell with the words,
“you have killed me,” on his lips,
and died “with his boots on.”
The death of Lockhart brings to
an end the career of what peace of
ficers described as the “big three’’’
of Oklahoma outlawry. Henry
i Starr and Al Spencer, with whom
| Lockhart was alleged to have been
1 closely associated in many aebs of
I brigandage in Oklahoma and Ar-
■ Kansas, also died from the bullets
of officers’ guns, and all within a
comparatively short span.

tion In high political circles in New

illegal beer made in New Jersey, and
that Dunigan should be getting part
of it. Dunigan also quoted Foley as
saying: “Edwards wouldn’t hesitate
to go bat for us if we get in trouble
in Washington.”
Dunigan testified that Foley also

ILOOGE, DAUGHERTY
CALL ON COOLIDGE
GDESUNEXPUINED
I -
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Cop.vrißht, 1t)24.)
WAHSINGTON. March 27.
Harry Daugherty went in one door
and Henry Cabot Lodge went out
the other.
Thus might the visit of the attor
ney general and the Republican
leader of the senate to the office of
President Coolidge Wednesday be de
; scribed. For a few In’ief moments,
I the newspapermen saw visions of a
I reconciliation between the senior
* senator from Massachusetts and
i man who Is under investigation by
‘ a committee. Not long ago
1 Mr. Lodge advised the president that
j the attorney general should not re
i main longer in the cabinet. Mr. Cool
| idge felt, that the attorney general
; -hould have his day in court. Mr.
Lodge thought the Democrats would
I only use the occasion to keep the
1 Daugherty case in the head lines in
terminably. Some who differed with
Mr. Lodge thought the Democrats
would do that anyway and that a
better defense could be made by Mr.
Daugherty if he remained in office
fighting than if he quit under fire.
The Democrats are living up to pre
dictions. They are fighting the at
j torney general but he is biding his
| time and expects to launch his coun
| ter attack shortly. Then it may be
j taken for granted that he will re
sign, for he will not continue to
make himself the subject of con
troversy on the eve of a presidential
campaign.
Mr. Daugherty said he had “routine
matters” under consideration with
the president. He had nothing else
to say. There appears to be an un
derstanding between Mr. Coolidge
and his attorney general, however,
I and, at least until the investigation
is completed he will stay in the cab
inet.
This was a day of suppressed ex
citement in the White House. The
returns from South Dakota, came
so slowly as to make impossible any
expression of administration opinion
but for the last few days the Coolidge
managers have given the hint that
they did not expect a, victory in
South Dakota and would be satisfied
if the president made a good run.
The president had been told in ad
vance that most of the congressional
delegation from South Dakota was
against him and that it wuld be hard
for him to win unless he could make
a personal campaign as Senator
Hiram Johnson has been making up.
Fighting a primary by long distance
is hardly as effective as a personal
visit but the obligations of the office
prevent Mr. Coolidge from venturing
forth to far away points. That’s
where the man on the outside has
the advantage over the incumbent
in the White House.
Another bit of politics was brought
to the president today by C. C. Ham
lin, editor of the Colorado Springs
Telegraph-Gazette, who is slated to
be Republican national committee
man from Colorado. Mr. Hamlin
lunched with the president. He said
Mr. Coolidge was stronger than the
party in the west and that the
chances of carrying western states
were improving daily.
As the time for the natidpal con
ventions grows shorter, the gather
ing in of delegates for Coolidge con
tinues in such fashion as to
strengthen the opinion that opposi
tion in the Republican national con
vention to the nominaion of the chief
executive is diminishing’. The South
Dakota primary has been regarded
as a sort of turning point. An over
whelming defeat for the president
would have stirred the hopes of op
ponents. The close race in South
Dakota has not dampened the en
thusiasm of the Coolidge partisans
but has given them the idea that
they can at least hold their own in
the western states, something which
a few weeks ago might have been
open to question.

BRYAN NAMED TO CABINET
BY PRESIDENT WILSON AS
REWARD FOR PARTY WORK
Difficulties of Picking First
‘Official Family’ Revealed
by Historian —How House
Won Chief’s Confidence
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Copyright, 1924, by the George H. Boren

CHAPTER XIV
IT was while Mr. Wilson was in
Bermuda that he encountered his
first bit of world diplomacy. The
British government maintains at
Bermuda a governor general who
was instructed on that occasion to
extend every hospitality to the pres
ident-elect. Just what instructions
beyond that were given him is a
matter which is known only, of
course, to the British government,
but in any event the governor gen
eral took occasion during one of his
social chats with Mr. Wilson to dis
cuss the status of the Panama Canal
tolls controversy, pointing out the
hope of Great Britain that 1 .r. Wil
son might be able to bring about a
reversal of the action of congress in
exempting American vessels from
the payment of Panama Canal tolls
and thus discriminating against Brit
ish vessels, which had been guaran
teed equal treatment under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
Woodrow Wilson had an oppor
tunity to discuss the same question
with Ambassador James Bryce be
fore the latter left for England. He
had a profound admiration for Mr.
Bryce, begun in Princeton days
when the noted ambassador had
visited him there.
Mr. Wilson was cognizant of the
value of British support as opposed
to British hostility in world affairs,
but as he was much more impress
ed by the fact that the Hay-Paunce
fote treaty seemed to give Grea r
Britain rights which the act of
congress had taken away. Mr. Wil
son knew also that the slightest
indication of American friendship
for Great Britain would irritate
the Irish-Americans and would cause
Germany to look askance at Ameri
can policy, a reflex of which might
be German-American opposition.
Fought by Bernstorff
Indeed Mr. Wilson’s fears were
fully confirmed on these two points
a few months later when he asked
congress to repeal the law that had
been passed in a previous session
by which American vessels had been
exempted from the payment of tolls.
Count Von Bernstorff, the German
ambassador, realized that a victory
for President Wilson in the circum
stances would be construed abroad
as the growth of an entente between
the United States and Great Britain.
He worked tooth and nail to defeat
the purposes of Mr. Wilson.
As it happened, the president-elect
little dreamed while he was in Ber
muda of the far-reaching importance
of the Panama canal tolls controver
sy on world diplomacy. His deci
sion to make the appeal in behalf of
Gieat Britain on the ground that a
treaty had been violated was a mo
mentous one as will appear in subse
quent exposition of the Wilson for
eign policy.
But. even though Mr. Wilson realiz
ed and feared that he would be con
fronted with important questions of
foreign policy he did not think they
would become paramount. His mind
was fixed during the Bermuda vaca
tion on the all-absorbing task of
picking a cabinet.
Should its members be political
leaders chosen for their influence in
congress or should they be trusted
personal friends of proved compe
tence and administrative talent? He
frankly discussed the two theories
but gave no indication at the time
as to which he preferred, t Circum
stances. he realized, would control
the ultimate decision and he was
enough of a student of practical poli
tics to realize that he must give
weight to political considerations if
he expected to win the necessary
support for a legislative program in
congress.
Bryan a Problem
To all the'talk that rfhere would be
friction between himself and Champ
Clark, the speaker of the house, or
Oscar W. Underwood, the majority
leader, there came from Mr. Wilson
unequivocal predictions to the con
trary. He. scented mischiefmakers
but gave evidence that would go
more than half way to meet the
wishes of congressional leaders.
Possibly nobody in America, real
ized better than Woodrow Wilson
the difficulties that might ensue if
he failed to select William Jennings
Bryan for a portfolio in the cabinet.
No one, on the other hand, had been
as keenly aware of Mr. Bryan’s
temperamental fondness for the
stump and public speaking rather
than involuntary silence arfd seclu
sion imposed by tradition upon a sec
retary of state. Mr. Wilson felt from
the start that Mr. Bryan’s position
as a leader of the Democratic party
in three separate campaigs entitled
him to the ranking position in the
cabinet of a Democratic administra
tion.
One of the first things Mr. Wilson
did on his return from Bermuda
early irf December, 1912, was to offer
the secretaryship of state to Mr.
Bryan and the latter accepted. The
tender was made verbally and was
kept a secret for many weeks. Col.
Edwin M. House, who had become
identified with the Wilson precon
vention campaign, began at once to
enlist Mr. Wilson’s interest in cur
rency reform on which he had spent
many years of study. president
elect sanctioned a trip by Colonel
House to Florida to let Mr. Bryan
know in a general way of the plans
for currency legislation and to win
his support. It was Colonel House’s
tact and skill on this mission that
prompted the president-elect to rely
more and more on the judgment of
his new-found adviser.
Looked Well on Paper
The colonel bad the happy idea
Bassett Moore Anu
mo.-t eminent authority on interna
tional law. could be persuaded to ac
cept the position of counselor of the
department of state, and that! the
team of Bryan and Moore would sat
isfy public opinion, especially that
part of it which did not believe Mr.
Bryan would follow a conventional
policy in handling foreign affairs.
Looking back on the hopefulness
with which that plan was launched
one can not help feeling that it was
a splendid example of the kind of
thing which looks well on paper but
never works in actual practice. It
was a good political move but bred
its disappointments later on. Mr.
Moore was a stickler for traditional
precedents—he is now one of the
judges on the court of International
justice nt The Hague. Mr. Wilson
respected tradition and precedent
only in so far as they presented an
opportunity to create a new pre
cedent. Mr. Bryan, whose heart was
as big as the world itself, felt that
precedent and law were compelling
only m so far as they conformed to
GEORGIA SLOCINS
OFFERED HKEIIS
AT STATE MEETING
“In considering Georgia's inter
ests, does our wishbone stick out and
our backbone cave in?”
i This question is typical of two
score bits of business wisdom de
signed to stimulate a spirit of pro
gressiveness among the citizenry of
Georgia, which are contained in a
unique booklet entitled “Cracker
Crumbs.” It was prepared for distri
bution among members of the Coun
try Bankers’ Association of Georgia
at their eighth annual convention in
Macon this week.
“We believe that Georgia will al
ways be what Georgians make it,”
said L. R. Adams, of Atlanta, secre
tary of the association. “We also
believe that what Georgia needs
we’ve got, but we haven’t used it.
Based on these beliefs, our every
object and aim and activity has been
to aid in a constructive way in build
ing up the state. We believe these
objects and aims are such as to ap
peal to all forward-looking, progres
sive citizens, and we invite all such
to join with us in our program.
The Country Bankers’ Association
of Georgia began a three-day ses
sion in Macon Tuesday, and its
members are anticipating a high
ly successful meeting. “Cracker
Crumbs” is typical of the unique and
(instructive features prepared on ths
' program.
I Among the straight-from-the-shoul
der business slogans contained in
! the interesting booklet are the fol
j lowing:
“Don’t confuse what. Georgia ought
j to be with what Georgia is.”
“What does Georgia need? Well,
| let's take some money, a lot of hope,
‘ courage, faith and more enterprise
j and work —and go out and get it.”
; “Money talks: How loud does your
; money speak in Georgia’s service?”
“When asked to dig up for Geor

“Are you helping push up the
I hill, or are you riding on the
I wagon?”
“Georgia’s future rests on Geor
i glans’ shoulders.”
“Haven’t we got all that wishing
I will bring us? Let’s try work.”
| “No man can borrow himself out
I of debt.”
“A bull is bigger than a. family of
'i hornets, but hornets are organized.”
i “If Georgians will do half as much
( for Georgia as the Creator did when
He made it, we would have Ameri
ca’s most wonderful state.”
“Let’s make posterity proud to be

principles of Christian morality ai l
the broader faith of civilivation it
self.
As a secretary of state Mr. Bryan
surprised Mr. Wilson by his zealous
advancement of certain fundament
als of foreign policy a/id though the
president and Mr. Bryan disagreed
on the use of physical force instead
of moral force in issues with Ger
many, there is no doubt that the
Bryan-Wilson combination was a
closer one than either man had
dreamed it would be in the days of
1912. Their emotions frequently
were aroused in the same way—
their sympathies stimulated by iden-
I tical circumstances. Points of differ
ence were many but the decision to
take Mr. Bryan into the cabinet
was a plunge into the dark by Mr.
Wilson—it was simply a conviction
that the Democratic party should be
kept united and that Mr. Bryan had
' earned first place in the cabinet.
Federal Reserve Born
While the cabinet problem, of
l course, was the principal work upon
which Mr. Wilson was engaged
I when he returned from Bermuda he
i began a series of conferences with
■ congressional leaders on prospective
i legislation. Jt was in the little cot
tage at Princeton that Colonel House
and Representative Carter Glass,
chairman of the house committee on
banking and currency, first laid be
fore Mr. Wilson the essentials of the
plan which in time gave to the
United States the federal reserve act
now on the statute books, substitut
ing for an antiquated currency sys-
! tern a structure in keeping with the
I business expansion of the country.
The bold and outspoken manner
in which Mr. Wilson as president
elect discussed what he intended to
do as president o.i the major issues,
namely, the tariff and currency re
form, gave many of those about him
the impression that he was overcon
fident. Mr. Wilson, however, had a
sublime faith in the power of public
opinion. Neither the tariff act nor
the federal reserve act as finally
i written into law were actually what
Mr. Wilson wanted but their funda
. mentals were what he had sought
■ from the beginning. He believed
i public opinion was behind him and
j that a chief executive who could
j marshal public opinion would com
' pel congress to abandon filibusters
1 and dilatory tactics and enact con
i structive measures.

Wilson the theoretical gave way to

! appointments to office.)

3 011 LIONS NEEDED
TO PAY OFF BOiS
ST W ESTIMATE
WASHINGTON. March 26.—A
new estiiYiate on the cost of the sol
dier bonus bill passed by the house
—s3,3oo,ooo,ooo —was presented to
the senate finance committee today
by the actuary of the American Le
gion, Herbert Hess.
Joseph McCoy, government actu
ary, who figured the bill would cost
$4,856,750,087, and H. P. Brown, vet
erans’ bureau actuary, whose figures
were used by the house in estimat
ing the cost of the bill at $2,119,-
000,000, had also been asked to ap
pear before the committee.
Two main differences have devel
oped in their calculations. Mr. Mc-
Coy figured the government would
have to pay interest on all funds
appropriated for payment, of the
bonus and Mr. Brown argued no
such expenditure would be neces
sary if the government should in
vest in outstanding government
bonds the funds it would appropri
ate for the sinking fund with which
to pay for the bonus at the end of
twenty . ars. They also differed on
the average number of days of serv
ice for veterans.
Upon conclusion of the hearings,
the committee will resume work on
the revenue bill. The miscellaneous
ta:; schedules are the next subject
for consideration, since the fight
over the income tax rates apparent
] has been postponed until the bill
reaches the floor of the senate as a
result of the c.oi..mittee’s vote to re
store the Mellon rates in the bill.
Interest in the surtax rate fight has
shifted to the possible attitude of
Senator LaFollette, Republican, Wis
consin, leader of the insurgent
group, which is admitted to hold the
balance of power. Mr. LaFollette
h. s been confined to his bed recent
ly, ;.nd efforts to learn of his atti
tude on the rate schedules have been
unsuccessful.
