Cljc Atlanta evi-Ilk ckbi urnal VOL. XXVI. NO. 1.59 COURT FLAYS CROWE AS FRANKS CASE WINDS UP KIOTifiG POSTPONES . VOTE IN REICHSTAG ON DEBTS PROGRAM National Members Block Ratification of Pact Made in London » BERLIN, Aug. 28.—(8y the As sociated Press.) —Final balloting in the reichstag on the bills necessary to carry out Germany’s part of the Dawes reparations program has been postponed until Friday because of the prolonged interruptions from the Communists. The disturbances in the house Wednesday culminated in general fighting, and the reichstag presi dent, to restore order, was compelled to call in a police squad and have three of the Communists removed. Unless 'the Nationalists decide to give the legislative program nega tive support, by permitting defec tions from their reichstag lineup when the last vote is taken, there apparently is scant hope of the gov ernment obtaining the two-thirds majority required for final passage. The bills Wednesday passed then second reading only by. a general majority of 248 to 174. Determined upon ratification of the Dawes program, regardless of the attitude of the deputies, Chan cellor Marx has obtained from Presi dent Ebert a decree providing for the dissolution of the reichstag, which he intends to use if the neccs, sary two-thirds vote is not forth coming. ALLIES TO SIGN DAWES DEBT PACT ON SATURDAY LONDON, Aug. 28.—(8y the Asso ciated Press.) —The formal signing of the pact to make effective the Dawes reparation pla’n concluded at the re cent international conference, will take place at the foreign office in Downing street at noon Saturday. FRENCH CABINET TO CUT ADMINISTRATION EXPENSES PARIS, Aug. 28.—(8y the Associ ated Press). —The French cabinet to day decided upon a radical overhaul ing of governmental expenses with a view towards strictly balancing the budget. It was agreed that Premier Herriot and Finance Minister Clem entel should begin on September 8, the task of eliminating all unneces sary expenses from the budget of the various ministries. The premier and finance minister will go over each budget and prune it wherever necessary in order to hold down next year’s expenditures within the nation’s income. This revised list of appropriations will then be considered by the cab inet. ami a budget bill strictly balanc ing expenditures and income, will be prepared and given to parliament at its opening session, about the be ginning of October, so that it can be adopted before the beginning of the next fiscal year, January 1. The fresh difficulties of Chancellor Marx’s government in obtaining a ratification of the London agreement has surprised the official world in Paris. The telephone lines between here and Berlin were largely occu pied today with government and pri ority calls. Informal consultations among members of the reparation commis sion indicate that President Barthou and his associates are disposed to appoint an agent general and other functionaries required to apply the Dawes plan without waiting for the new German elections. Thyir pur pose, it is said, is to show Germany that the allies have done everything required of them, under the London .agreement, and that Germany alone putting it into execution, Photographs . Transmitted by Wire From Chicago to N.Y. NEW YORK, Aug. 28. The American Telephone & Telegraph Co. Wednesday night announced that colored protographs had been transmitted from Chicago to New York. According to the announcement, a colored picture was placed in a , sending machine in Chicago and was reproduced here in less than an hour in its original colors. In the newest development of pic ture transmission, the actual colors are not sent over the wire, but the colors are separated at the point of sending and reassembled when received, according to the announce ment. k Three photographs of the picture to be transmitted were taken, each time screening out one color. The photograph then was sent as a bla-'t- •—’d white picture, and. on bei..rt Jiceived at New York, was resfoled to its original color. Ford Denies Saying Klan Is Good Order, But Misunderstood DLrTROIT, Aug. 28.—Henry Ford, * tn a wireless dispatch to his office here from his yacht en routqp from Montreal to Detroit, last night pos itively denied a statement credited to him yesterday by the Montreal Star wherein he was quoted as say ing that the Ku Klux Klan was misunderstood. His offices here today gave out another wireless from Mr. Ford's yacht, quoting exactly what was said concerning the klan. While the manufacturers yacht was being taken through one of the locks of the St. Lawrence river en route to Detroit, a number of re- * porters sought to interview him. the wireless slated. Numerous questions concerning political matters and President Coolidge’s chances for re election were ask -i and then one leportt r asked: "What do von know about the Ku * Klux Klan?" "What do you know about it?” Mr. Ford countered. I ‘‘Nothing,’ the answered •‘Neither do 1. ' Mr. Ford :eturned and the inUrvie.v was terminated. Published Every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday GARVEY’S DULCET VOICE AGAIN DRIPS GENTLY IN DUSKY EARS AS 7,000,000 AWAIT BIG HEGIRA "President of Africa" Prom ises Land of Milk, Honey and Other Things Even Has a Ship Right on Exhibit BY ROBERT T. S.VLALL t (Special Leased Wire Io The Journal— Copy right, 1924.) v NEW YORK, Aug. 28.—Tim Uni versal Negro Improvement associa tion is holding its annual meeting in Harlem and listening once more to the stories of the promised land that lies over the seas. The “back to Aft tea” movement is in full swing again and Marcus Aurelius Garvey, variously known as “President or Africa” and “Commander of the Sublime Order of the Nile,” has an nounced that no less than 7,000,000 negroes have expressed their inten tion of going back “home.” Four million of these negroes are sup posed to be in the United States. The other .3,000,000 are scattered through the West Indies, where Garvey him self hails from. As Exhibit A of the new move ment, Garvey has the steamer Gen eral G. W. Goethals tied up at a dock in the Hudson river. The steam er is to be the Booker T. Washington and it is pointed out as the flagship of the new Black Cross Navigation and Trading com pany. Soms 5,000 members of the improvement association and their friends l ave been inspecting the ship the last few days, a ticket booth hav ing been erected on the dock and. fees of 50 cents each charged to the non members. Uniiornis for All Travel on the Booker T. Washing ton, when it becomes that, will be no cheap affair. The rates for the cabin have been fived at SIBO for each passenger. This does not daunt the leaders in the movement. The inspection of the vessel has been attended with great pomp and cere mony. “The Royal African Guards” have been on duty as well as the Universal African Legion and the African Legion band. There is one nice thing about belonging to one es Mr. Garvey’s organization. Each and every person is entitled to wear a uniform. But no member must at temp to imitate or in any way ap proach the uniform of the command er-in-chief. Garvey’s outfit is be yond description. King Solomon in U1 his glory was never arrayed like that. The Garvey uniform has every thing but electric lights and is de signed for both land and sea duty, for ashore he is a generalissimo and afloat he is an admiralissimo. Garvey still retains the affection and loyalty of his followers despite the fact that his personally conduct ed exodus to Africa has been long postponed, and despite that the United States government has had him convicted of using the mails to defraud. A little thing like a five year sentence has not daunted the spirit of the self-constituted Moses, lie is out on $20,000 bail, and Tiot a moment of his time is idle. His first project was called the “Black Star Line.” That was the one that got him in trouble. His new Black Cross line is his answer to his critics and “persecutors.” The flagship of the Black Star line was officered and manned by col ored men when Garvey took it on a West Indian trip as a preliminary to the first crossing to Africa. It is related that on this trip the of ficers could not find Jamaica. The island was not big enough. It also is related that the galloping ivories and the pursuit of lady luck occu pied so much of the time of the crew and the passengers there was little real thought or attention paid to the higher projects of the promoters. It .May Take Time, But— Garvey has announced now that the officers of the Booker T. Wash ington will be white and the crew Colored. He expects the first sailing to be in November, and the steamer is designed to carry seventy-five first-class and 100 second class pas sengers. Os course, at this rate it would take some time to transport the entire 7,000,000 negroes enlisted in the ggiuje but Garvey’s facile pictures a great fleet shortly engaged in the maneuvers. If passengers are lacking at first, Garvey says the boats will be used for cargo purposes. Garvey says he is not going' to Africa himself. He has so much work to do on this side of the water. The president of Liberia also is said to have announced that “General Garvey” is not coming over. It seems the real president of Liberia thinks there might be sonje clash of authority and any way Liberia is not big enough for two presidents. Meanwhile the pilgrim ship lies at the dock. She is a little rusty in spots, but all that will disappear st m under a new coat of white paint. The ship is open to one and all for the small sum of fifty cents. Some of the members who have in spected the ship ro "tined on board all day, dreaming new dreams of the land of milk and honey. Does Your Mail Route Need Building .Up?

Generals Hindenburg And Ludendorff Speak On Battle Anniversary KOENIGSBERG, Germain. Aug. 28.—(8y the Associated Press.) —Gen- I erals von Hindenburg and Luden dorff Wednesday ran rival shows here in celebration of the tenth an i niversary of the battle of Tannett- I berg.-The warriors made special ad |dresses before different gatherings. t General von Hindenburg, who ap ■ peared in full uniform, avoided the j discussion of internal politics and , spoke only of the historic past, men- I tioning “our fatherland” without re ' ferring to changes which have t ome about in the government.

LITIGATION SETTLED OUTSIDE OF COURT Litigation that has been in prog ress for several months between the Pratt interests and the Washington Land company, said to be a subsidi- I ary of the Georgia Railway and Power company involving exten-1 sive hydro-electric development along the Coosawattee river in Mur ray and Gilmer counties, has been settled out of court, it was an nounced Thursday, and the devel opment will, it is said, be carried out in such a manner as to co-ordinate the projects of the Pratt interests and the power company. The series of transactions lead ing up to the settlement constitute one of the most interesting chap -1 ters in the history of big business affairs in Georgia. Some years ago N. P. Pratt, formerly head of the Pratt Laboratories and one of the best known figures In the engineer ing and industrial field, began ac quiring lands along the Coosawattee river, which flows down through Gil mer county and into a section lying between the two branches of the Louisville and Nashville railroad. Realizing the possibilities of the river for the development of hydro electric power and the building up of a great industrial district in north Georgia, the Pratt interests, it is said, finally secured all but about 460 acres of the land necessary to provide adequate storage and drainage area for the projected dam and power house just below Flat creek on the Coosawattee. Meeting difficulties in acquiring this needed tract, the Pratt inter ests instituted condemnation pro ceedings in the Blue Ridge circuit ’of the superior court before Judge D. W. Blair against the Washington Land company, which held title to the property. It was set up by the Pratt inter ests in this suit that the company had acquired title to the property after condemnation proceedings had been begun. Judge Blair decided in favor of the Pratt interests and the power company carried the ease to the higher courts, where it has been pending. Assent to Judge’s Decision Under the terms of the compro mise agreement just reached, how ever, a court order has been pre pared and signed by the parties at issue, withdrawing the matter from the courts. The Georgia Railway and Power company, it is said, had contemplat ed developments further down the Coosawattee river on what is known as the Carter property just over the Murray county line, and had ac quired certain acreage along the river at that point. Recently, however, it is said, Mr. Pratt purchased about 2,000 acres of the Carter property at an adminis trator’s sale, paying $157,000 after spirited bidding against the power company representatives. The ac quisition of this property by the Pratt interests, is said to have put an effectual stop to any project the power company might have for the development of the Coosawattee, and recognizing this situation, both parties to the controversy entered negotiations looking to a compro mise. The power company, it is said, purchased the Carter property from the Pratt interests at a price of i $184,000 and at the same time turn- i ed over to Mr. Pratt the, 460 acres formerly held by the Washington I Land company in the development of its hydro-electric plans. Thus, it is said, the Pratt inter ests now own the lands for about 15 miles along the Coosawattee and for about six miles along its prin cipal tributary, Mountaintown creek while the power company owns the properties from Flat creek south- ! ward for a distance of perhaps seven | miles. . \ Three Power Plants Probable While definite plans have not been I made for the development of the Coo-1 swattee system, it is thought by en i gineers that, certainly two and pos-1 sible three hydro-electric plants will I be necessary. Os these, it is said the | Pratt interests propose to construct i one and the power company will I probably put up the others. En gineers in the employ of Mr. Pratt | are now completing all details of a I survey of the properties. . According to Mr Pratt, the drain-, age area and precipitation of the Coosawattee system is about twice I that of the Tallulah system, anti the j hydro-electric development near Flat i creek will have a fall of 253 feet,; while the development on the power: company property further down the river will have a fall of 312 feet. The Coosawatte developments. j when completed, are expected to de- j velop 120.1)0(1 horse-power, involve a: total cost of about $18,000,000, and 1 provide electric power for distribu I tion over a wide area in north Geor gia and to make possible the estab- i lisjiment of industrial centers at points where such enterprises are row effectually barred.

Aug. 28.—Six more storm-swept vessels, victims of the Sunday to Tuesday hurricane which cut a great swath from the south to the north Atlantic, made port j early today, bearing further witness of the storm’s fury. The ships coming in today were smaller than the battered passenger liners which arrived yesterday, first of the storm’s victims to make port. These were the White Star liners Arabic and Homeric, the Munson, liner Munargo, the Orizaba, of the Ward line, and the Italian steam ship Giuseppe Verdi, and the Mun son ship Mundelta. The Nordfarer, 2,500-ton Danish cargo boat, arrived first today. When just south of Cape Hatteras Monday night, the staunch little ship was almost crushed under the weight of the waters that rolled over her. The mad hurricane caught the Nordfarer in its greatest fury. A gargantuan wave struck her bow on, and washed away the bridge, carrying Captain M. J. Madsen with it. j \ Behind the Nordfarer, the San Pablo, from Tela, Honduras, made her entry. She suffered the of her lifeboats and all the loose ar tides on her decks. u Next came the British steamer In dian Prince, from Santos, Brazil. Her crew told of one of the»ir num ber being swept from the decks by a titanic wave which washed him aboard again. The steamer’s decks and upper works were badly damaged,. There followed the San Jose, from West Indian ports, the Corsican Prince, out of Buenos Aires, and the Commodore Rollins, from Kingston- Jamaica. The San Jose was only slightly damaged. The Corsican Prince suffered a bit more damage Five liners, bearing evidence of a struggle against the hurricane steamed into harbor yesterday, sev eral hours late, their fittings smash ed and battered by the force of the waves. Only one life 3ias lost, the steam er Elisa Walker reporting that Cap tain J. Madsen had been swept over board from the bridge of the Danish steamer, Nordfarer, while south of Cape Hatteras. Captain Hickson, of the Arabic, whose vessel and passengers were the major victims, said the wind at times attained an intensity of 120 miles an hour and Captain Metcalf, of the Homeric, sister White Star liner of the Arabic, asserted it was the worst within his memory. The Munargo of the Munson line, and the Orizaba, of the Ward line, suffered less than the other two vessels, while the Giuseppe Verdi, whose captain had brought her from Genoa to meet the storm, exhibited a dent in a smoke stack sixty feet above the water line. The Arabic had an estimated cas ualty list of more than 150, with fifty-two-persons who required treat ment. Os these 33 were under the care of surgeons when the vessel docked, met by ambulances previous ly summoned by wireless. Among the passengers on the Arabic who were under the care of surgeons when the boat docked was Mrs. Henry D. Clayton. Montgom ery, Ala., who had an injured knee The Mundelta, from San Pedro, arrived at Quarantine late at night, where a tug took off Captain Benja min F. Smith, critically injured when a large piece of wood on the | Crest of a wave hit him in the face. The Homeric fared much better than the Arabic, having only eight of its passengers seriously injured and much less damage to the vessel. The Berengaria, whose passenger list bears the name of Edward, Prince of Wales, apparently was outside of the hurricane's border as dispatches received from the ship to day made no mention of unusual weather. j ATLANTA BOYS ABOARD THE ARABIC; NEITHER IS INJURED Charles and Hugh Nunnally, well : known young Atlantians, who were i passengers on the steamship Arabic, I were not injured aboard the ship I during the Atlantic hurricane, ac i cording to their father, Charles T. | Nunnally, president of the Nunnally ! & McCrea Co., who communicated by I telephone with them Wednesday at I a New York hotel soon after they i had landed. Mr. Nunnally said his sons suf . sered no mishap other than wetting |of their baggage. He quoted them I as saying they never had seen any j thing that looked so good as the statue of Liberty. The boys were returning to At | lanta after an extensive trip : through England, Scotland, Italy, j Germany and France. They were i members of a party of young men I from southern states who made the I tour of Europe together. Mr. Nunnally said his sons stated I they would leave New York Citj' : Thursday if they could obtain reser ' cations, and would arrive in Atlanta I sometime late Friday or early Sat | urday. CAPTAIN \ND THREE MEN MISSING FROM SCHOONER SYDNEY', Nova Scotia, Aug. 28. — Captain Devon and three members, of the crew of the schooner Julia F. C.. are missing since the craft was hit by the hurricane off the Bird islands on Tuesday night.

Atlanta, Ga., Saturday, August 30, 1924 Prices Arc Going FOR several years the national papers and maga zines have been fighting hard for Southern subscribers. In the fierce competition for circula tion in Dixie they have been cutting their prices away below the cost of mailing out their periodicals. As a result, our readers have been able to get the cream of the periodicals through Tri-Weekly journal clubs at ridiculously low cost. That bitter competition is about to be replaced by saner and sounder business methods on the part of those publishers. So clubbing prices are go ing up. You will always be able to get clubs through us as cheaply as from any other publication—but we will have to increase our prices on all combi nations on October 1. Subscribe now and save money. If your sub scription expires within the next six months it will pay you to renew now if you want clubbing com binations. We have the other publishers tied up with con tracts till October 1. They can’t raise their prices to us before that date. Until then you can get any of the combinations listed on Page 5 at the remarkable bargain prices which have been in force since January 1. But the price of every one of them will go up in a little over thirty days. Don’t wait till it is too late. Act now. October 1 is the last day. STING OF DEATH SHOWERED ON WEEVIL BY AIRPLANES IN CORDELE DEMONSTRATION Senators, Agricultural Ex perts, Farmers and Other Visitors Revel in Crisp County Hospitality BY ERNEST ROGERS (Staff Correspondent of The Journal', ; CORDELE Ga.. Aug. 28.—Further i evidence of the impending doom of ; the boll weevil swooped out of the j clear skies of Crisp county here Fri day in the form of two giant govern ment airplanes leaving in their wake I a poisonous white cloud which set tled down on the cotton plants of the Wheeler plantation—on the south west edge of Cordele —with the sting I of death in the/white particles. A. throng, practically as large and equally as enthusiastic as the gather ing at Athens on Tuesday, viewed with wonder the miracle wrought by the air monsters from the delta la oratories, at Tallulah, La., working in co-operation with the State Col lege of Agriculture, of Athens. From all sections of south Georgia there were gathered farmers, agri cultural leaders and business men vitaliy interested in the demonstra tion. \\ hen the clouds of powder had settled, they viewed with pleas urable amazement the thoroughness with which the plants had been dust ed, leaving no possible avenue of vantage for the “scourge of the cot ton belt.” Barbecue Following the demonstration the throng repaired to Williams park where a sumptuous barbecue, fur nished by the citizens of Crisp coun ty was served. This delightful repast was followed by a number of short talks in which | agricultural leaders and leaders in the state spoke in commendation of the spectacle just viewed. Dr. George A. Maloney, personal representative of Dr. B. R. Coad, of the Delta laboratories— whose sj>eech « r as a feature of the Athens demon stration—again told the people of G-orgia the menace lurking in rub ; ash and wooded clumps where the weevil finds a place to hibernate for I the winter.

Thursday gave out an affidavit in which he repudiated his testimony before the committee in Washing several months ago. He now says he has never met Daugherty nor Jess Smith. Remus stated that the alleged of fer was made him by Harry Stern, an attorney connected with the de partment of justice investigation, who said he acted on authority of the Wheeler-Brookhart committee. He claimed that he insisted to Stprn that he kmjw nothing against Daugherty or Smith, but that he finally yielded to the promise of free dom, went to Washington and testi fied against the two accused men. In repudiating his testimony he is actuated, he said, by a desire to clear the name of Daugherty, and to ob tain revenge for the failure of the committee to keep this alleged “gentlemen’s” agreement. WHEELER SAYS WARDEN FORCED NEW STATEMENT WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.—Sena tor Burton K. Wheeler charged that the statement of George Remus, millionaire Cincinnati bootlegger, that he perjured himself before the Brookhart committee, has been “ffoced” from him by the warden of federal penitentiary at Atlanta. I have just learned that Remus has made* an affidavit that Henry Stern, an attorney not employed by the committee, but. who did assist in our work, had tried to get him (Remus) to testify falsely against Harry M.

The remarks of the court came out of a clear sky and startled the: crowded courtroom into a shocked silence. , -3 Mr. Crowe's jaw dropped and he blanched visibly under the judicial broadside. “Your honor, I had —” he began,’ but the judge interrupted him. “The state’s attorney khew full well that his remarks would be her alded far and wide,” said the court. “He knew, too, the court would have no opportunity to reply or defend: ■ himself from criticisms except by the action he has taken.” The judge then read a prepared; statement and at its conclusion an- v, nounced he would give his decision’ September 10 at 9:30 a. m., “unless illness prevents.” Only the defendants, the attorneys! for both sides, court attaches and, newspaper men will be admitted to the/t'inal scene in the famous case. | ,| The court did not state specifi cally what portions of Mr. Crowe's remarks aroused his ire. It was re called, however, that the state’s at torney had referred to possible out breaks if the death penalty were not’ imposed and had emphasized the possible power of money in the courts and the wealth of the de-| ' a fendants. • Defends Gertland Just before the argument closed Mr. Crowe also made it'defense of I the testimony by James Gortland, one of his staff detectives, that Leo- ' pold had expressed a hope to escape the death penalty by pleading guilty, “before a friendly judge.” This had been denounced by Mr. Darrow as: "perjury,” and when Mr. Crowe de-, fended it the court asked the ste nographers to give him a special i copy of that statement. None of the attorneys in the case would comment after the proceed-1 ings were over. Clarence S. Dar row, Benjamin Bachrach and Wal ter Bachrach, the defense leaders, i said it would be improper, and Mr. Crowe remarked merely that he had "been talking three days.” The stenographic report of the concluding scene between the judge and prosecution was as follows: j Mr. Crowe: “The state rests.” The Court: “Before the state rests in the other case, the court will order stricken from the record tfie j closing remarks of the state’s attor- 1 ney as being a cowardly and das- ■ tardly assault upon the integrity of this court.” 71 Court’s Only Chance Mr. Crowe: was not so intend- ed, your honor.” The Court: "And it could not ba used for any other purpose except: to incite a mob and to try and intimi-. dale this court. It will be stricken from the record." Mr. Crowe: “If your honor please, the state’s attorney had no such in tention.” The Court: “We will go on—” . 3 Mr. Crowe: “I merely want to put ! my personal feeling plainly before 4 the court. It was not the intention of the state’s attorney—” The Court: “The state’s attorney knew that it would be heralded all through this country and all over ■ thio world and he knows the court hasn’t an opportunity except to do what he did. It was not the proper I "■ thing to do.” ( Mr. Crowe: “It was not the inten tion —” ■ || The Court: “This court will not be intimidated by anybody at any time or place as long as he occupies this position.” < “Now, in order to fix tfte date 1 that I will set this case, gentlemen, , I want to «ay there lias been a great deal of criticism about the conduct 01 this co.se; some of it from well meaning people who knew no better; others from those who should know’; better. Claims Trial Was Speedy “We have been criticized about the dedays of justice. The court has been criticized because after a plea of guilty he permitted evidence to be heard, and we have been criti cized because of the length of tim» it takes for an execution after the court passes judgment. “Permit me to say with reference to tlie delays of justice that this trial is one of the speediest trials of a criminal case ever heard In Cook county in which the state has asked the death penalty. “And this could not have been done if it had not been for the able manner in which the state’s attor ney of this county investigated and prepared his case and was ready to go to trial when called. “The defense are to be commend ed because they made no attempt to delay the trial. , “The murder Iwas committed on May 21 two months before the trial started.
