SAYS HMHON TOLD
ABOUT CHECK TOUT
woman
WASHINGTON, April 9.—Further
inquiry into reports of “deals” at
the Republican national convention
at Chicago in 1920 was made today
by the senate oil committee.*
J. W. Baughn, of Harli. ' r,
Texas, formerly an oil operator of (
Oklahoma, testified that the late ■
Jake L. Hamon, Republican nation- ■
al committeeman of Oklahoma, told
him he had “signed the check” that
resulted in the nomination of War
ren G. Harding. This conversation
took place after the Chicago conven
tion, Baughn said. He quitted Hamon
as saying he would spend $1,000,000
if necessary to put Oklahoma in the
republican column in the general
election.
William H. Miller, of Columbus,
Ohio, testified that he assisted in
Harding's pre-convention campaign,
visiting the northwestern states.
He first met Manton at Harding
headquarters at Indianapolis before
the convention, and later saw him at
the Chicago convention.
"I had no part in the collection or
disbursement of funds,” Miller said.
J. B. French, of Oklahoma, testi
fied last Monday that Hamon had
told .him he had given $25,000 to
Miller to pay headquarters expenses
of the Harding committee at Chi
cago.
There was no discussion of oil lands
or leases at either of his meetings
with Hamon, Miller said. Mamon
had told him at the Indianapolis
meeting' that he was for Lowden,
he said, but had added that Mrs.
Hamon was a distant relative of
President Harding and was impor
tuning him to support Harding. The
witness then denied specifically that
Hamon had given him $25,000 to
pay the expenses of Harding head
quarters at Chicago.
The committee adjourned until
Friday because of the difficulty in
getting the attendance of witnesses.
The long inquiry is entering its
final stages, Senator Walsh, Dem
ocrat, Montana, trying to wind up
the public hearings this week.
Dawes and Young
Enjoy Feeling of Relief
As Plan Is Finished
PARIS. April 9.—(By the Asso
ciated Press.) —“I feel like a boy
ouf of school,” chuckled Brigadier
Geheral Dawes today after turning
over the voluminous report of com
mittee No. 1 to Louis Barthou,
president of the reparations com
mission.
Owen D. Young, second American
member of the Dawes committee,
was similarly relieved and cracked
jokes as he pulled out his pipe and
settled down in a comfortable arm
chair.
Henry M. Robinson, American
member of the second committee,
presented its report in the absence
of the chairman, Reginald McKen
na. who had returned to London.
General Dawes’ speech upon sub
mitting the report of his committee
was characterized by military brev
ity.
He said: “I have the honor to sub
mit to you the report of your com
mittee of experts, unanimously
adopted, upon means of balancing
the budget of Germany and meas
ures to be taken to stabilize her
currency.
“In view of the comments in my
covering letter, which I am handing
you, I will not add anything except
again to express our appreciatioi?
of your confidence and the kindness
and consideration with which you
have treated us.”
Mr. Robinson’s remarks in turning
over his document were even brief
er.
M. Barthou, whose short and
stocky form contrasted markedly
with the ranginess of Dawes and
Young, replied somewhat at length,
expressing the commission’s sin
cerest gratitude and saying that rhe
experts had exceeded its hopes,
“thanks to the unceasing labor to
which the whole world, when aware
of the difficulties and strains of
your heavy task, cannot fail to do
justice.”
Despite a pouring rain a crowd
of newspapermen and photographers
from all the countries of the world
thronged the narrow of the Astoria
hotel where the kaiser planned a
celebratory luncheon in the fall of
I'll 4 after his victorious troops
should have passed through the Arc
de Triumphs nearby, but now
France’s unknown pojlu lies under,
the arch.
General Dawes proudly wore an
ex-service man’s “victory button”
at the ceremony o’ handing over
the report.

NEW YORK, April 9.—Carl E.
Akeley's bronze statue, “The Chrysa

emerging from the form of a gorilla,
and which recently was rejected by
the New York Academy of Design
as lacking in merit, will be solemnly
unveiled Sunday in the West Side

Known to Indians as Well as
Great White Spirit, West
erner Sells Oil Lands Worth
Half Billion
BY ROY J. GIBBONS
SKEDEE, Okla., April 9.—Knock
ing down valuable oil lands to the
highest bidder at a million or more
dollars a knock is easy as puddin’ to
Colonel E. Walters.
To date, this genial, broad-shoul
dered westerner, with home and
sombrero rack here, has sold more
than half a billion dollars worth of
property under the hammer.
For a generation the ultra rich
have been his patrons. Hobnobbing
with millionaires since has lost
its novelty for him.
And with the different Indian
tribes here on his own stamping
ground, the name Walters is synon
ymous with the Great White Spirit.
Wins Indians’ Confidence
Perhaps no other white man has
won the confidence of the red man
like Walters, super-salesman and
auctioneer de luxe.
Walters for years has conducted
the sales of the Osage Indian lands
to oil prospectors. In so doing, he’s
brought something like $141,060,751
into the tribal exchequers.
Just the other day in Pawhuska
he dragged in another $4,000,000 for
them. Little wonder the Osages are
the richest group of people per cap
ita on earth.
Yet through al] this downpour of
riches, Walters hasn’t lost his per
spective. Nor has his sense of val
ues been distorted.
“We’re all on the block,” he says.
“To bring a decent price we’ve got
to keep from getting sidetracked.
“Money isn’t everything. Children,
home, a good, wife, a loving mother
are far more valuable than gold.”
The dean of auctioneers is fifty
seven. And Colonel really happens
to be his first name—not a title
he's adopted.
As a youngster, he came west. For
some years, he tried ranching.
Voice Wins Out
But the voice which originally
destined him to be a singer would
iot he hushed. Friends persuaded
him to try auctioneering. He did.
Since then, he’s sold land in 26
states.
He's presided over sales where
million dollar checks were pulled
out as freely as Russian rubles or
German marks, lie's seen staid cap
italists act like lunatics while his
hammer kept a-tappin’ down select
fields in gusher territory.
Walters is married and has a mar
tied daughter.
Numerous decorations have been
bestowed upon him. But most of all
he. values the gold-hammered and
diamond-tsud-ed pin the Osage tribe
gave him as a token of its apprecia
tion for his loyalty and service.

CITRUS CONFERENCE
H BREAK OVER
GREEN FRUIT LBWS
ORLANDO, Fla., April 10.—The
state green fruit law drew fire
Thursday from delegates from all
over the state to the general citrus
conference which was called to or
der by E. L. Wirt, of Bartow, pres
ident protein. Over a thousand rep
resentatives of the industry were
on hand, and came near causing
complete disorder as a result of ar
guments.
The resolutions committee had
hardly concluded readings of the
report when S. J. Sligh, of Orlando,
rose to object to the increase of acid
test percentages.
“If you adopt this new proposal
for the acid test increase there will
not be an orange shipped out of the
state until February and hardly a
grapefruit at all,” Mr. Sligh de
clared. “You will be turning the
markets over to California shippers.”
There was a general scramble for
recognition, but Mr. Sligh continued
his objections.
“The market conditions today,”
said Mr. Sligh, “are not the result
of our acid test law—it is the result
of the coloring of fruit and the color
clause of our law is causing this
state its greater part of trouble.
Those shippers who color their fruit
and get them past the inspectors,
and those who, because they have
fruit slightly colored in the natural
state and get by the acid test, rush
them on the market to get .he open
ing and top prices—they are the
ones who are causing the industry
the setback it is now experiencing.
And I move that this clause be
tabled.”
Dr. W. A. McKenzie, of Leesburg,
was on his feet instantly. He mad-:
a plea to the growers “not to table
the resolution, but to discuss it and
amend it so as to cover whatever
points were needed.”
"If this convention tables this
resolution,” he said, “it might as
well stop right here, for we will
be just where we were when we
started this meeting. The growers
should get the kind of laws they
need for their protection if every
commission house is forced to go
out of business.”
Discussions that followed were to
the effect that the acid tes tlaw was
not the cause of the resent demoral
ized market but its abuse. The elint
inatio nos November 5 as the ear
liest day oranges could be shipped
without acid test was strongly advo
cated and embodied in article one
as amended. This article was pre
viously amended to read, “an acid
test requiring- a minimum of ratio
of 8 to 1 on oranges ami 7 to 1 on
grapefruit as a basis for declaring
such citrus edible.” Many speakers
advocated carrying the inspections
on until January 1 and make the
test the sole requirement of ship
ping and not ■ ’ r.
“We must have a law with teeth
in it,” declared It. P. Burton, of
■Leesburg. “Fruit is being shipped
out of th- state, which is unfit for
consumption and we all know it.
The only way to stop it is to 1 ive
that fruit condemned by the inspec
tors taken to the dump and not as
in many cases recarted to some oth
er packing house and sent out. some
times into Canada, but mostly al
ways into our markets of the north.”
R. E. Rose, state chemist, said that
if it was attempted to change the
present law regarding the test of
J citrus fruits, “it would be at least
i fourteen years before it would, be
i possible to get a national law passed
covering the changes." The vote
' finally- ado" -d. changing ar-
I tide one with the amendment as
proposed, re-establishing the ratio as
embodied in the present law.

EARLY POISONING
MOST IMPORTANT
IN WEEVIL FIGHT
AMERICUS, April 10.—More than
five hundred Americus and Sumter
county business men heard R. H. J.
DeLoach, weevil expert, in a series
of lectures delivered Tuesday and
Wednesday at Americus, Leslie and
Plains, in which he explained the
Armour method of poisoning. The
gist of the method is to poison
thoroughly when the cotton is young.
“Don’t wait until you find fallen
squares of find live weevils in your
fields,” is the advice of Dr. DeLoach,
who came here at the invitation of
the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce.
“The time to poison,” he says, “is
before the weevil gets a start, and
the way to poison is to poison thor
oughly. Too much attention cannot
be paid the first poisoning, he states,
and this poisoning should begin ten
days before the first squares begin
to make their appearance.
“Poison the weevil’s plate, and you
poison the weevil,” was another
statement he made in the course of
his talks. "But don’t be deceived,”
he says, “into believing that the
weevil feeds only on the bud, the
square and the boll of the cotton
plant. These are preferred feeding
places, but when neither of these is
available, the weevil feeds upon the
tender underside of the leaf of the
cotton plant. This has been demon
strated beyond a doubt as has been
the fact that the weevil eats as well
as drinks. If farmers will begin
poisoning early, ten days before the
squares begin and continue the proc
ess, doing the work thoroughly every
five days until four applications have
been made, the bulk of the weevils
will be destroyed before they can
do muc hdamage to t he cotton yield.”
To prove the correctness of his
contention, he cited the yields se
cured by Armour & Co., on their big
plantation in Calhoun county, near
Arlington, where yields exceeding
those of the pre-weevil era were se
cured last year through use of the
method. He says he used dry calcium
arsenate, but has no argument with
the man who prefers the sweet
method. The trick lies, he says, in
thoroughly poisoning the plants, and
doing this early before the weevils
begin to multiply rapidly and conse
quently easily get beyond control.
Weevil control under the Armour
method, he declares, Is not only
practicable and certain, but it is com
paratively easy and cheap as well.

COOLIDGE VICTORIES
IN WESTERN FIELD
BEAT EXPECTATIONS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Leased Wire Service to The Journal.)
(Copyright, J 924.)
Washington, April 10.—The
break in the Coolidge campaign for
the Republican presidential nomina
tion has come. Nothing but a politi
cal earthquake now can prevent, the
nomination of the president atCleie
land in June.
Mr. Coolidge, from the start, has
had the support of the regular Re
publican organization, which is all
powerful in the eastern states. It
was not known what would be his
strength in the presidential pri
maries. The victories in Nebraska
and Illinois —stales in which weak
nesses would ze expected to develop
if at all —‘has knocked the wind out
of the sails of the Hiram Johnson
campaign and left the field to Mr.
Coolidge.
Although presidential primary
votes are not considered binding at
a national convention, they never
theless ate an index of popular feel
ing. Mr. Coolidge’s strength tn the
primaries is a surprise, even to his
own friends. To carry Michigan,
Illinois, Nebraska and North Da
kota. is a. feat which a regular Re
publican has not achieved in a good
many years. Republican support
of the president, in the conservative
areas of New England and the east
has been unchallenged, but the west
ern seat of radicalism has not been
so easy to conquer.
Early Majority Likely
Mr. Coolidge, according to present
indications, will have a majority of
the delegates at the Republican na
tional convention on the first or sec
ond ballots, it may be for the sake
of prestige and campaign effective
ness later on almost the entire Re
publican convention w'ill vote for
Coolidge, giving him the psychologi
cal benefit of virtually unanimous
support.
All will not be smooth sailing, how
ever, for Senator La Follette is sched
uled to make a fight for a radical
platform, failing in which the AVis
consin delegates and others, possibly,
from western states, will announce
their decision to support a third
ticket.
Efforts will be made by the Cool
idge leaders to liberalize the Repub
lican platform, not so much to pla
cate the La Follette group, but to sat
isfy the sentiment of the people of
western states. But it is not believed
that any platform adopted by a reg
ular Republican convention will suit
the La Follette radicals.
One of the more difficult planks to
be written will be that concerning
foreign policy. The report of the
Dawes-Young advisory council to the
reparations commission has been re
ceived here with gratification be
cause of the belief that it will help
compose the European situation, but
the administration cannot openly
claim credit for the work of the un
official body of American experts,
even though their appointment was
made originally with the knowledge
and consent of the United States
government.
Hughes Policy Followed
The policy followed is exactly that
which Secretary Hughes recommend
ed in his New Haven speech. The
administration can point with pride
to the advice it rendered Europe if
the problems of reparation should
be solved, but it cannot point with
pride to the studied attempt of the
foreign relations committee of the
senate to bury the world court pro
posal advocated by the late President
Harding and President Coolidge.
It is significant that the Dawes-
Young report has not stirred up op
position in congress. Usually when
ever any mention is made of the
League of Nations or the connection
of any American with a. European
problem, however unofficial, there
is an. outburst from the "irrecon
cilables.” Senator Medill ’McCormick,
of Illinois, was one. of the first to
criticise the plan whereby Messrs.
Dawes and Young were to be criti
cised by the reparations commission.
Their report shows a willingness
to let a committee of the League
of Nations handle some of the im
portant problems involved in the
reparation question and its also pro
vides for an American to act as pre
siding officer in one of the impor
tant permanent commissions to be
appointed. Such proposals as these
heretofore have been denounced as
“meddling in European affairs,” or
“becoming entangled in European
diplomacy.” The Dawes-Young re
port instead is just now regarded as
a step in the right direction and
may yet be one of the posts of Re
publican orators on the stump, espe
cially when they meet in cry that
the Coolidge administration “has
done nothing to help Europe.”
Johnson Promises
Early Statement on
Campaign Course
WASHINGTON, April 10.—A num
ber of consultations today between
Senator Hiram Johnson and some o’
his friends in the senate were fol

garding the future of his candidacy
for the Republican presidential nomi
nation.
Those with whom the California
senator talked received the impres
sion that he was turning over very
seriously in his mind the question of
his future attitude toward the cam
paign. They declined to predict what
his decision would be.

NIVY’S NEW CHIEF
TO GO SLOW ON
OIL LAND LEASES
WASHINGTON, April 10.—A new
naval oil policy, designed to safe
guard the government against any
such leases as those granted under
former Secretary Denby, was an
nounced today by Secretary Wilbur.
In a letter to Senator Hale, of
Maine, chairman of the senate
naval committee, Mr. Wilbur de
clared that “no leases or contracts
will be made” by the navy depart-’
rrient witnout the personal approval
of the secretary of the navy.
"No further leases will be made
until expressly authorized by con
gress,” he continued, “unless it ap
pears to my satisfaction that such
leases are absolutely essential to
prevent the draining of oil in the
reserves by we.lls drilled adjacent
thereto, and unless it further ap
pears that such leases are fully au
thorized by act of congress, and in
that event such leases will be made
only after competitive bidding.”
Referring to the Teapot Dome liti
gation now pending Secretary Wil
bur said he would avoid “in every
way any act or proceeding which
will in any way involve the rights
of the government in such litiga
tion and will avoid any conduct
which may in any way interefere
with the contentions advanced by
the attorneys for th e government.’-’
Boys’ Clubs to Strive
To Win Chicago Trip
For Best Cotton Crop
As a result of the announcement
that the Georgia and the Atlanta
and West Point railroads will give
a free trip to the National Boys’
club congress in Chicago to the boy
who produces the best acre of cot
ton in 1924, letters have been sent
by G. V. Cunningham, state boys’
club agent, to all county agents in
counties traversed by the two roads
advising them of the railroad of
ficials’ decision. The congress will
be held in connection with the inter
national live stock show in Chicago.
The agricultural department of the
two railroads will co-operate with
state officials in furnishing informa
tion relative to the production of
cotton and other farm products in
preparation for the contest, it is
stated. This information may be
obtained from the general agricul
tural agent of the roads, 120 East
Hunter street, Atlanta.
Mr. Cunningham’s letter to the
county agents is as follows:
“This is to advise you that the
agricultural department of the Geor
gia railroad and the A. & W. P. R.
R. have a free trip to the National
Boys’ club congress in connection
with the international live stock
show at Chicago, to the .boy produc
ing the best acre of cotton accord
ing to the rules governing Boys’ Cot
ton club work along their lines. You
will so advise your boys.
“This is the first trip to the inter
national offered by any railroads
in the state, but I trust it will not
be the only one. . Anyway these
railroads have taken a very progres
sive step in the direction of helping
promote boys’ club work. lam hop
ing that the results obtained be
cause of this offer will make the
railroads feel that it has been money
well spent.”

Waycross Packing
Plant Is Destroyed
With $15,000 Loss
WAYCROSS. Ga., April 10. — The
Waycross Packing company, a can
nery of fruits, sweet potatoes and
vegetables, was totally destroyed by
fire late Wednesday, entailing a loss
of approximately $15,000. The struc
ture was built of wood several years
ago, but had not been in use since
the fall of 1922. It was owned by W.
H. Baxley, of Florida, who had visit
ed Waycross only a few days ago
with a view to feopening it again
this fall. The building was only
partly covered by insurance.
The entire combined forces of the
local fire department responded to
the alarm, but the fire was beyond
any hope of control when the first
of the firemen arrived on the scene.
The roof of the building collapsed
just after the arrival of the fife ap
paratus, and the heat became so in
tense that it was practically a physi
cal impossibility for the fire-fighters
to get within 200 feet of thq struc
ture. All available hose was laid in
addition to several streams from a
lumber mill adjoining the canning
factory.
A sweeping wind spread the flames
rapidly from one section of the great
building to another, and the fire was
never under even partial control un
til the last of the ■walls had fallen.
The wind, however, favored the
lumber mill nearby. A turpentine
still just, a few feet from the flam
ing building was saved by the work
of the firemen, and the favorable
wind. A large number of barrels of
turpentine were stored in the still,
and were greatly endangered by the
fire.
Hundreds of gallons of pickles,
stored in. two giant fireproof vats,
thousands of pint, quart and gallon
cans, and a. mass of damaged and
useless machinery smouldering in a
tangle of smoking debris was all that
was left of the canning plant when
the fire was finally extinguished. __

Both Senators Harris and George re

The messages come from chambers

pose these wartimes taxes on tele-.fl
grams and telephone calls when the 1
