FARM BELIEF BILL
, IS PBOMISED EABLY
' AHENTIDN IN HOUSE
WASHINGTON, May 1 10.—Defi
nite decision to have the house con
sider the McNary-Haugen farm re-
* lief bill at this session of congress
was reached today by Republican
leaders.
Assurance was given supporters
of the measure that it would be tak
en up by the house the last of next
week or the first of the week follow
~ ing.
Senator Norbeck, Republican,
South Dakota, who has charge of
the farm relief fight in the senate,
said he would be satisfied with the
action of' the rules committee* if it
was supported by similar verbal as
surance from some majority leader.
, The farm bIQC was not content
with the agreement retiched this
* week by a Republican conference
that "some relief measure” would
be considered, it was indicated, but
wanted the promise made a part of
k the printed record.
k Coolidge Consulted
Announcement of the decision to
■live the bill right of way was made
after Chairman Snell, of the rules
committee, had discussed the legis
lative program with President Cool
idge at the White House.
On his return to”the capitol Mr.
Snell went into conference with
! Gillett, Representative
• luongworth, the Republican leader,
numbers of the Republican steering
committee, and several members of
the rouse agricultural committee,
among’‘hem Chairman Haugen.
At the close of this conference it
was announced that the McNary
Haugen bill ”'ould be brought to a
vote with adequate time allotted for
V debate.
It was insisted that there had been ■
, no indication as to the president’s |
views on the proposal, but Republic
an leaders in the house heretofore
have declared that before right of
way was given to the McNary-
Haugen bill some assurance should
be obtained from the White House
that the measure would not be
vetoed.
* Present plans of supporters of the
bill, which calls for creation of a
> corporation with capital of $200,1W)0,-
000 to sell surplus farm products
abroad, are for the house to con
sider the measure before it is taken
up in the senate. Members of the
senate farm bloc have been insist
ing, however, that the proposal be
brought to a vote there without de-
• lay.
Later, Senator Norbeck informed !
the senate he had decided to with- |
hold nis proposed motion to force a
vote on the McNary-Haughen bill as
a rider to the revenue bill.
Confident of Passage
The senator said the relief bill
probably would pass the house and
the senate and certainly would be
come a law if it got a little boost
from the White House. His decision
<to withhold the motion, he said, was
. reached after he had been informed
of the decision of the house rules
committee and after conferences
with representatives and a delega
tion of farmers from the northwest
here to support the measure.
He had been assured by senate
leaders, Senator Norbeck said, that
the bill would be given considera
, tion as soon as it reaches the senate,
/probably in seven or eight days. He
added that another reason for with
holding the move was because a
number of senators favoring the
tax bill had said they would not
vote for it with the farm bill rider,
although they would vote for the
farm bill as a separate measure.

Hero of Revolution,
‘ Marked by D. A. R.
JjINCOLNTON, Ga., May 10—The

MRS. CHARLES SULLIVAN (LEFT) AND MRS. PETER FENS
TER, AGED MASSACHUSETTS WOMEN, WHOSE LONG-LOST
BROTHER HAS LEFT THEM A FORTUNE AFTER YEARS OF
STRINGENT MEANS.
Estate of $21,000,000 Left
, to Gild Declining Days of
Massachusetts Women.
Medium’s Tale Comes True
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 10.—A
golden sunset is promised in the
lives of Mrs. Peter Fenster, seven
ty-two, and Mrs. Charles Sullivan,
sixty-nine.
All their days they ‘ have toiled i
hard, with little material wealth to
show for their labors.
Now they have been informed
that a $21,000,000 estate"‘in England
has been left to them. \
Mrs. Fenster, an inmate of the
City home, crippled £y rheumatism, ;
was asleep when the news was re
ceived. Awakened by her sister and
nurses to be informed of the happy |
tidings, age seemed to fall from the .
shrunken form. She from her
bed in sheer joy, crying: “I hope
it is true! I do hope it is true!”
Mrs. Sullivan, the sister, took the '
news calmly. For a year she had
waited in confidence; for she had
been told at a spiritualist meeting
that "money would come from over
the sea.”
More than fifty years ago, the two j
sisters had come to America, with
two brothers, from England. Trace '
as relatives was lost. The brothers
moved west.
Year after year the sisters drudg
ed, hoping against hope for a turn
in their fortune.
Then, after a half a century, an j
advertisement appeared in a Boston
paper. It read:
"Will Mrs. Peter Fenster and Mrs.
Charles Sullivan, once of Liverpool,
England, and Cambridge, Mass.,
communicate with Mrs. Sarah E.
Elliott, nee Holmes, of Woodburn,
Ore. Important information.”
Charles W. Sullivan, son of Mrs.
Sullivan, read the advertisement. :
Mrs. Elliott was found to be the
daughter of one of the brothers who
had moved west. And the “impor
tant information” she wired was the
first step in placing undreamed-of
millions into the hands of two worn- |
en who had toiled to the sunset of
life. ,
Great Demonstration
In Public Is Planned
By German Fascisti
HALLE, Germany, May 10.—(By
the Associated Press.)—Unless fed
eral authorities at Berlin or the
Prussian government decree an
eleventh hour prohibition, the Ger
man fascisti organizations will car
ry out their program for an elab
orate outdoor demonstration on
the occasion of the unveiling of a
monument to Field Marshal von
Moltke Sunday, it was declared to
night.
General Ludendorff, Field Mar
shal von Mackenzen, and other ce
lebrities, will attend the ceremony
and advance guards of the various
Hitler organizations—the veterans
corps and the national students
league were arriving hourly to
night. General Ludendorff’s arriv
al was made the occasion for an
ostentatious ovation.
The local police have announced
that ample provision has been made
to safeguard order and have noti
fied the communists that they will
not be permitted to hold a Counter
demonstration. The report that the
former crown prince was scheduled
to participate in the ceremony has
been definitely denied.

TEN DEMIS IN
MOBILE RUM TRIAL

the blanket indictment were dis
missed toay. Os these the prosecu
tion admitted that it had estab
lished no prima facie case of con
spiracy against seven and the other

government bad failed to make a
prima facie case of conspiracy
against them. These ten dismissals
followed the announcement Friday

it lacked prima facie cases against
them follow: Dr. A. G. Ward, promi
nent Mobilian and member of board
of revenue And road commissioners;
Frank W. Boykin, well known busi
ness man; H. M. Cochrafi, Prichard
merchant; Arthur Sirmon, Turkish
bath proprietor; John (Pine Top)
Thompson, former federal prohi

manager o fthe Hillman Taxicab
company, and Joe Rice, man about
town. The three dismissed on mo
tions of their attorneys were Mrs.
Della Lynn. James (Scrappy) Mar
tin and Johnnie Smith, shopkeep
ers.
Os the ten dismissed the protec

HOOVER TESTIMONY
ST SEMITE SHOALS
HEARING POT OFF
WASHINGTON, May 10.—Secre
tary Hoover postponed his scheduled
appearance today at the Muscle
Shoals hearing of the senate agri
cultural committee at the request
of the committee chairman because
several witnesses found it necessary
to return to their homes. A date
will be set next week by Hoover.
■Wilbur A. Nelson, state geologist
of Tennessee, and representing the
Nashville Engineering association,
appeared as the first witness. He
read a resolution adopted by the
association requesting that bids for
Muscle Shoals be divided” to Include
a separate bld for fertilizer and an
other for power. The resolution
recommended that a commission of
five, two of them expert hydro-elec
tric engineers, be created to con
sider the bids with a stipulation that
the power should be distributed un
der the federal water power act.
Nelson said some engineers held
the opinion that two dams con
structed below the site of proposed
dam No. 1 would be necessary to
provide transportation the yeai
around for boats large enough to
carry suitable cargo. Unless this
is done, he said, large boats “would
be held up on the Tennessee river
during times of low water.
First Woman Heard
Evangeline C. Hursen, represent
ing the Public Ownership League of
Illinois, the first woman witness to
appear at the hearings, said the
organization opposed leasing or sell
ing Muscle Shoals to any one.
In this proposition, yve are going
to establish a precedent for disposi
tion of our naticyjal resources.
"We feel that the sale or lease
of Muscle Shoals, which was built
with the people’s money, would be
criminal.
"Mr. Mayo, Ford’s engineer, said
they would not sell one kilowatt of
power. Then I ask what is he go
ing to do with it.
"This fertilizer stuff is just a
smoke screen; I do not believe th e V
plan to pfoduce cheap fertilizer.”
She charged that one of the under
lying principles behind the Ford bid
was a desire to make aluminum for
automobile bodies, and said Muscle
Shoals should be used to make alu
minum for airplanes.
Returns Estimated
L. H. Davis, representing the Un
ion Carbide company, continuing his
testimony begun yesterday’, analyzed
the various offers before the commit
tee and summarized the estimated
returns to the government of each.
He said that of the three proposals
on the fixed return basis, the car
bide proposal of April 28, 1924, which
he said will return $120,000,000 to
the government with full develop
ment of Dam No. 2 exclusive of the
government’s share of fertilizer
profits, and exclusive of darn No.
3, will yield the government $37,-
200,000 more than its nearest com
petitor, the Alabama Power com
pany and associated companies, and
will yield the government over $55,-
000,000 more than the Ford pro
posal. Substantially the same difer
ence apply if the returns from Dam
No. 3 are also included, he asserted.
"It shows,” he said, “that the car-,
bide proposal of April 28, 1924, would
yield the government, under the as
sumptions adopted, nearly $38,000,-
000 more than the Hooker proposal,
excluding Dam No. 3 and over $55,-
000,000 more than the Hooker pro
posal including Dam No. 2. The
carbide proposal of April 28, 1924 is
only rivaled by the carbide company’s
earlier proposal of January 21, 1924
and both its proposals stand con
spicuously far ahead of any other
proposals in the matter of financial
returns to the government.”
Available Power
Answering Senator Runsdell, Dem
ocrat, Louisiana, Davis said he esti
mated that 185,000 average horse
power would be available from Dam
No. 2. Irrespective of Dam No. 3, for
distribution in the near-by states un
der the carbide bid.
Chairman Norris said he believed
the carbide bid carried one of the
weaknesses of the Eord bid in that
it provided that part of the power
should be retained by the bidder to
be used as the bidder chose without
regulation either by the government
or the state of Alabama.
"I would like to get out of Muscle
Shoals for distribution to the people
everything in the way of power that
is not used for fertilizer,” Chairman
Norris said.
“I believe that within two years
power will not be needed to pro
duce fertilizer,” he added.
Norris said he believed the car
bide bid was better than the Ford
bid because the carbide company
would receive only 2 1-2 per cent
profit while Ford would receive 8
per cent.
“I believe we are entitled to the
use of power,” Davis replied.
300 Russians Face

ernment is confronted with an unus

M’ADOO PIUNG UP VOTES
WHILE OTHER CANDIDATES
PIN HOPES ON SENTIMENT
Small Finds Surge of Democ
racy All for Georgian,
While Foes Plot His Defeat
at Convention
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
(Copyright, 1924, by the Consolidated Press
Association—Special - Leased Wire
to The Atlanta Journal).
NEW YORK, May 10.—The pre
vailing surge in the Democracy the
past week has been all for William
Gibbs McAdoo, yet the opponents
of the former secretary of the treas
ury sit by apparently undisturbed.
T-hey seem confident in their be
lief that they can stop the McAdoo
tid e on th e convention floor. They
have shrugged their shoulders as
state after- state has voted to send
McAdoo delegates to the big presi
dential conclave and say they don’t
have to worry because Mr. McAdoo
can not get enough.
Except in a few states where fa
vorite sons have been brought for
ward, the McAdoo forces have had
little opposition. Perhaps the great
est straight-out victory won by Mr.
McAdoo was in Georgia, where the
Underwood people made a deter
mined effort to win the delegation.
Mr. McAdoo travelled all the way
from California to the Empire State
of the South to make hlaf a dozen
speeches in the closing days of the
primary campaign. This personal
contact with the people, taken to
gether with the fact that he was
born in Georgia, helped him win the
smashing victory when the voting
began.
Al Smith Dragged In
Mr. Mc*Adoo has made the only
nationally organized campaign for
the nomination. Senator Under
wood’s friends have confined their
efforts for him to a limited num
ber of states. All of the other aspi
rants for the Democratic nomination
have been in the shrinking violet
class —if a violet yjith a huge light
ning rod held steady over its head
can be called shrinking.
This compels the assertion just
here, however, that Al Smith has
somewhat reluctantly permitted
himself to be dragged out of the
violet bed and made into a regular
bouquet which his friends hope to
pin to Miss Democracy’s palpitating
bosom. His "national chairman,”
Franklin D. Roosevelt, is issuing al.
most ..daily statements to the effect
that Smith sentiment is growing all
over the country.
Which brings up the old political
adage that sentiment may grow
wild but delegates do not. They
have to be cultivated. That is
where the McAdoo forces have been
well advised. Mr. McAdoo has many
old hands at the wheel of his po
litical fortunes. They know from
experience that delegates do not
dangle ripe from the trees on the
convention floor. They have to be
coaxed and warmed in the sun.
The organization of the Smith
boom, along semi-national lines, has
come after most of the state pri
maries have been held. Therefore
it is impossible for the governor
to bid for delegates in fields where
his cause might have won much
sympathy and support.
Thus Mr. McAdoo is coming to the
New York convention with far more
pledged and accounted delegates
than any other aspirant can point
to with pride. His managers, whose
morale has picked up wonderfully
these last few days, go so far as
to say that Mr. McAdoo may have
a majority on the first ballot.
As a result of this claim there
has been much talk of a move by
the McAdoo forces to abrogate the
time-honored rule of Democratic
conventions that nominations shall
be made only by a two-thirds vote.
It was this rule which kept Champ
Clark out of the nomination in 1912
and permitted the star of Woodroiv
■Wilson to ?ise to its day of interna
toinal glory. There w’as talk at
that time of abrogating the rule, but
nothing could be done.
Mr. McAdoo’s friends thought at
one time they would make a fight
before the Democratic national com
mittee to rescind the rule. They
claimed a majority of the committee
was favorable to Mr. McAdoo. But
when the committee met in Wash
ington in January, the subject was
not brought up. Parliamentarians
doubt if the question can be forced
on the floor of the convention.
Blow’ to Hiram Johnson
Senator Hiram Johnson's loss of
th e Republican delegation from his
home state of California, was the
last stunning blow of what has been
to him an almost never-ending se
ries of political reverses in his ill
starred attempt to turn the G. O. P.
away from President Coolidge. He
will go to the Cleveland convention
with his little handful of delegates
from South Dakota and a wander
ing maverick from one or two other
states, but it is doubtful now if he
will poll as many votes as his more
radical colleague, Senator LaFol
lette.
Yet the California result has but
borne out a prophecy made by Sen
ator Johnson himself. Some six
.months ago his enemies gave out
'for publication a confidential let
ter he had written to an intimate
friend. In this epistle, the senator
said he had been maligned and be
trayed to such an extent that he
doubted his ability to carry his own
state.
And what can one say of a Cali
fornia that will thus turn down a
real true native son like Hiram
Johnson on its Republican side and
take to its bosom on the Democratic
side an adopted son, born in Geor
gia and reared in New York? Evi.
dently, it is not the yellow peril of
Orientalism which has been the un
doing of Senator Johnson, but the
invasion of his beloved California
by the outlanders of the states to th e
east. Most of these outlanders have
settled in the southern part of the
state and that is where Senator
Johnson's greatest weakness has
been found.

BODIES OF ITALUNS
HANGED AT AMITE
GO TO EMBALMERS
NEW ORLEANS, May 10.—Prep
arations were being made early to
day for the final disposition of the
bodies of the six men hanged at
Amite yesterday for the murder of
Dallas Calmed, Independence restau
rant proprietor. May 8. 1921.
The bodies of Andrea Lamantia,
Joseph Giglio, Roy Leona and Joseph
Rocchio arrived here last night. Sev
eral hundred persons gathered at the
railroad station and watched in si
lence their removal from the train to
an undertaking establishment. Those
of Joseph Rini and Natale Deamofe
were taken from Amite to Hammond,
the former to be shipped to Chicago
for burial.
Lamantia’s, Giglio’s, and Leona’s
bodies late today will be sent to
Brooklyn, N. Y. Bocchhio, xvhose
former home was in Chicago, will be
buried here tomorrow.
Examination by undertakers of
Lamantia’s body disclosed that he
had stabbed himself twenty-seven
times when he attempted to commit
suicide in his cell a few minutes be
fore he was hanged. A safety razor
blade also was found in one of his
pockets, the undertakers said. The
knife used by Lamantia in his futile
attempt at destruction had a blade
about an inch and a half long. An
investigation of how he got posses
sion of it, which Warden Johnson,
of the Tangipahoa parish prison, said
had been concealed in the lining of
his coat, has been started by Sheriff
Bowden, it was said.
All the tFoops which accompanied
the prisoners from New Orleans to
Amite, Wednesday morning, and re
mained on guard duty until after the
executions, returned to their home
stations last night.
Count Salm Reported
Given $ 100,000 to Free
American Heiress Wife
PARIS, May 11.—A price of SIOO,-
000 was set on Millicent Rogers’
freedom from her Austrian husband
ajid paid Count Salm by Colonel H.
H. Rogers, the heiress’ father, before
the count left Saturday for Vienna,
friends of the count said
Negotiations whereby the countess
and her father were enabled to re
turn to the United States aboard the
French liner La Frazice today with
out the company of the count were
conducted with Colonel Rogers by an
elderly,Austrian gentleman who said
he was Salm’s father, it is reported.
Utmost secrecy was maintained,
Colonel Rogers staying at the Champs
Elysee hotel, the eider Salm at the
Lotti, while the countess and her
husband lived at a modest hostelry
nearby, in which they occupied ad
joining rooms.
The countess, pale and tired look
ing, adopted an aloof attitude toward
the dashing count who won her hand,
but not her fortune, in New York
early in January. The count seem
ed worried, but his friends were re
ported pleased that he had at least
retrieved some profit from his matri
monial venture.
One of the terms of the agreement
is understood to have been that Salm
leave immediately for Vienna. Mean
while, the young countess went back
home with her father today, sailing
from LeHavre aboard the French
liner La France. It was considered
significant that she traveled as “and
daughter.” There was no mention
of the Countess Salm on the booking
list

Your Place of Flies
Widely Known Scientist Discovers Won
derful Chemical that is Fatal to
Fliqs. Not a Poison —
Harmless* to Stock.
Flies are one of tho most dangerous
and annoying things with which folks
have to contend. Now, through the dis
covery of E. fl. Alexander, widely-known
scientist, you can rid your house and
barns and live stock of these pests almost
Instantly, and with no trouble at, all.
This discovery is in tho form of an or
ganic c.iemical that Is fatal to flies, and
•similar pests, such as chiggers, mosqui
toes and moths.
"7 1 \a/
Thia new discovery, which is called Al
exander’s Rld-O-Fly, is not a poison.
Though it kills flies like magic, farm ani
mals and human beings are not affected
by it at all. In addition to killing these
insects, Rid-O-FJy is a strong repellant.
Flies will not come near stock or build
ings where Rid-O-Fly has been used. Rid-
O-Fly is particularly valuable for cows
and horses, as it is a known fact that
fli#s do untold harm to these animals.
As a special introductory offer Dr. Al
exander is giving a regular SI.OO sprayer
free with each $1.25 order of Rid-O-Fly.

exander Laboratories, 1516 Lateway Sta
tion. Kansas City, Mo., enclosing only
$1.25 (check or m. o.). Or, if you pre.
fer. you can pay the postman $1.25 plus
a few cents p&stage, on delivery So
confident is Dr. Alexander that Rid-O-Fly
will rid your house, ham and live stock
of fli«s that he will cheerfully refund
ydur money if you are not fully satisfied.
Don't p'it tip with thff'e annoying, ex
pensive and dangerous pests a day longer.

NEW YORK, May z lO.—An early
start on construction of the Florida,
Western and Northern railroad,
which will traverse the southern
section of Florida, as part of the
Seaboard Air Line system, is as
sured by successful flotation of the
company’s $7,000,000 bond issue, of

the line would return satisfactory
revenues the first year of operation.
It is estimated that the gross reve
