NO. 14 BOY TELLS STORY -.OFFATALSTABBiNG BY GEORGIA YOUTH I Tift Farmer’s Son Jailed Fol lowing Death of Wealthy 4 Maryland Man . * ■ WASHINGTON Nov. 10.—Fred, .A. McClellan, twenty-two years old,' of Tifton, Ga.. is held in the Rock-' ville, Aid., jail charged with stabbing to death Thomas A. Sims, a wealthy , contractor, fifty-two years old, at whose home McClellan boarded. After the stabbing, MeCleUan sum moned an officer and surrendered. ; I’Olice said he made a statement de claring he went to the Sims home \ and found the latter intoxicated and abusing his wife. Sims, he said. ; turned on him, shook his fist, and ■ordered him out of the house. Sims. I he asserted, followed him into the i yard, abused and berated him and ■ attempted to strike him with a stick. Jn self-defense, he said, he drew a pocketknife and cut Sims after the \ latter had wielded the stick. • Mrs. Sims was placed in the care pf a physician after the killing. Po lice said she had made no statement. Bojr’s Story of Affair A twelve-year-old orphan boy will be called before the grand jury of Montgomery county Wednesday to testify about the stabbing. The or phan is George Wheaton, who was taken into the Sims home a year ago from a Washington aslyum. State’s Attorney John A. Garrett to day put the boy in custody of Sher iff Clay Plummer as a material wit |jiess. Jealousy aroused in Sims and his direct accusation against his wife and the youth were responsible for the quarrel, according to the boy’s Btory today to the sheriff and the state's attorney. Sims staggered back from the fight, bleeding at the throat, and fell dead at the feet of the wife whom he had accused, ac cording to the boy. L- He declared the woman falling forward upon her husband’s prostrate form, after screaming aft er McClelland; “Mac. come back here, I've killed him.’’ Young Wheaton is said to have been an eye witness of the struggle between the young man and the contractor, and the only one who Baw the fatal blow struck. Contradicts Confession The boy’s account contradicts statements in the confession of Mc- Clellan at the jail. Sims ordered MtClellan to pack his clothes and leave, according to young Wheaton. (fAs McClellan went out with his be longings, Sims followed. The boy said: “I opened the door and saw Mac bit Mr. Sims anil then run. Mr. Sims didn’t have anything in bis hands. He stepped back a couple of paces, picked up a ('hair and started for the gate. But Mac was F laway down the road and running as Vast as he could go. Mr. Sims turned around and start ed back toward me. ' I cried out that there was blood on his neck. He said, ‘that darned fool did it,’ then he sort of wavered and fell.” McClellan, who was one of a fam ily of eleven children, said Mrs. Sims had been like a mother to him since last spring. When he was hired by her husband. * M’CLELLAN’S RELATIVES WILL GO TO lIIS All) TIFTON, Ga., Nov. 10.—Fred Mc- Clellan, reported to have stabbed to Kleath Thomas A. Sims, at Kensing- • ton, Md., is the son of Mitch McClel lan, prominent farmer and lumber man of Tift county.

Railroad Brotherhoods Map Campaign for i Howell-Barkley Bill CLEVELAND, 0.. Nov. B.—Chief •xroJuttves or representatives of . twenty railroad brotherhoods and af filiated labor organizations met here today to plan a legislative campaign before congress, particularly regard ing the Howell-Barkley bill, which seeks the abolition of the railroad labor board.

Years in Washington IJ\ ROBERT T. SMALL (Special Leased W ire to Tile Journal Copy right. 3921.1 WASHINGTON. Nov. 9. —Prior to the election of last Tuesday, the country, for some reason or other, ! had the impression that Calvin Cool idge didn’t know much about poli- ' tics. The country thought of him ; as more or less of a political found- ; ling, a chance man of fate, a play- I thing of destiny. President Coolidge is the master ' politician. He has held political of-i fices oftener and longer than any ! man of his years now in Washing- I ton. Coolidge has run for political of- I fices just twenty times-, and twenty I times he has been elected. If any | man in politics today can match or j beat that record, let him come for- i ward at this time or forever after I hold his peace. Certainly there is ■ no one to match a path of political j fortune, which has run all the way I from city councilman of Northamp- ; ton. Mass., to the presidency of the ! United States, with only about five ; “lean" years intervening from the I lowest to the highest. It might almost be said of the | president that he has won twenty- ■ one times, for in college he entered j a national contest for a gold medal | offered by the Sons of the Revolu- ; tion for the best essay on the “Prin- I ciples for Which the Colonies I Fought in the Revolutionary War.”*j The contest was open to all colleges, | Young Coolidge, of AmTierst, car- I ried off the prize. Within four years after his grad- I uation Coolidge had made his first I political bid and won his first polit- | ical victory. He was graduated in ; 1895. In he was in the city’ ; council of Northampton. Political victory number two came when he I was elected city solicitor in 1900 for I two years. In 1904 came political | victory number three—clerk of | courts. Then the budding politician, who I had after great deliberation trans- I planted Uirpself from Vermont, to j Massachusetts soil, began to warm I up a bit and strike out for higher i things. w j Since 1909 Mr. Coolidge has never ; been out of public office, and he has | just been elected to four years more I in the White House from March 4, 1 next. This will carry him from March 4, 1925, to March 4, 1929, a stretch of twenty years of political preferment. Mr. Coolidge’s victories have come i in this manner: 1. City councilman. 1899. 2. City solicitor, 1900. 3. Clerk of courts, 1904. 4. House of representatives, Jias- ' sachusetts, 1906. 1 5. Re-elected to house, 1907. 6. Mayor of Northampton, 1909. j 7. Re-elected mayor, 1910. 8.

Vice president of United States,! 1920. 20. President, 1924. Mr. Coolidge never has made ! much fuss and feathers about his ' remarkable political record. That ‘ is why the public has known so lit- | tie concerning it. Ho long age ; adopted the theory’ that, silence was ■ golden, and there has been none to say him nay. Where other politiciaAs would | have been “pointing with pride," ! I “Silent Cal” has merely gone ahead l sticking to the job. doing the day's work and reaping the harvest. If he has lacked-imagination, as some of his opponents have said,- he cer tainly has hot lacked the necessary essentials of success.

Congress Message Will Show Tax Plans BA DAVID LAWRENCE (Special I.eased Wife l<> The Journal— Copy right. 1924.) WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.—There is no thrill doubtless like the thrill of a v’ote of confidence, given, by the American people to a servant in pub lic office —and as Calvin Coolidge sat at his desk today and received caller after caller his eyes seemed to show plainly the light of eager ness to fulfill what so many voters expect of. him. The president was full of smiles, happiness was written in every’ sen tence he uttered, he appeared some how to be relieved of a great strain. Perhaps he has not been conscious or that strain, but it was a combi nation of shyness and caution and great modesty. Placed in office by the hand of Providence, he felt a responsibility to follow in the foot steps /of another. Appointments were to a large extent guided by commitments made by his prede cessor. Inauguration may’ be four months away but to all intents and purposes the second term of Presi dent Coolidge began this week. The ceremony on March 4 will be of only’ technical and historical importance. For President Coolidge is turning toward his tasks with- a feeling that henceforth - he must fulfill the pledges of his campaign. Promise to Economize Greatest among these pledges was a promise to practice economy. Fore most among the impressions of Cal vin Coolidge among the voters gen erally' was one that emphasized his thrift, his lifetime habit of careful expenditure. It has remained with him in the White House. It was the basis of his many’ vetoes in the last session of congress. He has been advised that more votes are obtained by satisfying the demands of members of congress for compen sation to their constituents in one form or another whether it was an increase in pay to the postal service or veterans’ pensions, but Mr. Cool idge chose to believe the wiser policy in the long run was to veto any’ proposed expenditure if it was not justified. Til re probably will be an increase in pay to the postal. It seems to be admitted on all, sides that the clerks are underpaid but the question that has to be solved is from what source the increased rev enue is to be obtained—from in creased rates on parcel post or sec ond class matter or a revision of all postal rates. The postal service is not as effi cient as the American people would like to have it. Excessive economies in the last few years, especially in the railway mail service, have inter fered with efficiency. It sometimes takes two days to get mail from New York to Washington—a five-hour run on 'he railroads. Airplane mail is assisting materially in transconti nental service but tiie demand is growing for better mail service on the short distance runs. I . S. Finances in Good Shape Government finances are in spleix did shape. The new tax law has not brought a deficit but a surplus. Will congress give the American peo ple the benefit of lower taxes or will it* insist on spending the surplus? President Coolidge’s leaderh.sip on this issue will be revealed in the message now being prepared for the December session of congress. Mr. Coolidge promised earlier in the year to continue his efforts for tax revi sion. It is unlikely that he will for get. There are some gkuing inequi ties in the present law The presi dent did not feel justified in vetoing the whole law to secure a revision of any portion of it. A campaign was ahead and he couldn't imperil tax relief by a veto. But now the situation has changed. Even with a co:igre.<4 in which the La Follette radicals hold the balance of power— for they remain in office until next March—the president can if he chooses present a measure for amendment of the present act and some of the insurgent Republicans may not be as anxious to oppose Mr. Coolidge they were several months ago The election returns may have bid a salutary effect on those who would obstruct merely for individual or partisan advantage. With ref, i ence to the present tax law, there will be some interesting data sought from the treasury as to the productivity of the new’ rates. It would not be surprising to find that the real reason for the surplus is not the lower rates at all. but the enforcement of the law. Several new administrative provisions were inserted by the treasury in the last law based upon experience with eva sions and avoidance. Many loopholes have been plugged. Even had the old 1922 rates remained on the stat ute Hooks there would have been in creased revenues, due to improved administration. There is also im provement in business conditions »o be taken into account. Unquestion ably there vvi'l be another drive for tax reduction and economy in gov ernment expenditures. It is the big gest issue of the moment next to an agricultural program and President Coolidge will have something to say on both when he sends his message to congress and presents the budget Says Wife Viofated' Agreement to Let Her Hair Grow Out When Mrs. John' Henry V ,nree band with cruelty, Vani • e appear ment drawn between the two which ind listen to reason and will live In fighting the suit Vanree testi fies that his wife f iiej to live up DJWES' PUN SEEN JS FIRST MOVE IN RESTORING TRADE Financiers of America, Eng z land, France.

A group ot master business men and bank eis ha.-; been organized for the pur j pose of making, a world economic ■ survey ,to determine measures for I solution of problems arising in the j wake of the Dawes’ reparations plan, ! it was announced here today by Willis H. Booth, president of the I International Chamber of Com ! meree. The purpose of the group as an nounced will be “to restimulate pro i duction, revive industry and restore j international trade.” The group includes: A. C. Bedford, chairman of the j board of the Standard Oil company ■of New Jerey; Owen D. Young, chairman of the board of the Gen- ■ eral Electric company; Henry M. !

Fahey, of Bos : ton, former presidents of the- Cham ! ber of Commerce of the United j States. I A statement on the project by ! Booth follows in part: “This survey will be made by an j international committee composed of the ablest business representatives ot all the important commercial na ; Hons of the world. To this end the I committee on economic restoration iof the international chamber, of which Fred I.

All of them are prominent in business and financial activities in their respec i five countries. “Arrangements for making the i world survey and selecting the ad | ditional personnel of the committee | are being considered at the meeting i of the council of international cham i ber now in session at Paris. It has I been suggested by t lie American i originators of the plan that the com i rnitt.ee remain in session for a I month or six weeks or as long as I may be necessary to formulate a ! report which, it is expected, will i recommend the steps to be taken to | set in motion again the machinery of production and trade which has I not been in normal operation since I the war.

I “The Dawes plan, successful as I it ’’as been, has, in the opinion of I the American s| onsors (if the project I for a world survey, set the stage for | an economic revival, but it. remafris | for business men of the countries I most diiectly concerned to take up the problems involved in a revival ’of industry and trade.

Wm. Jennings Bryan Sees Firm Foothold For 1928 Campaign WASHINGTON. Nov. 9.—Tn a I statement issued here tonight sum- I marizing his opinions of the election returns. William Jennings Bryan ■ declared the Democratic party re i mains “the only hope of the pro- I gressive element of the country." The Republican victory, he said, was not as disastrous to the Demo l crats as that of 192", when over whelming Republican majorities ! were returned in senate and house. He counselled Democrats to "find I consolation in the fact that the high i character of President Coolidge and I General Dawes insures that the I country vvill have the very bes: i service that they can render.” | The third party, even under the ; leadership of Senator La Follette,” said Mr. Bryan, “polled such a small percentage of the total vote that his I supporters must be convinced that it is impossible to build up a class . pane in the United States. “Davis and Brvan stood for pro gressive policies and made a clean I and honorable campaign. Mr Cool idge carried eight states hv a minority vote: these might have been i taken from him had the progressives I been united. “If the Democrats do half ns well I two years from now as they did two • years ago they will control the next congress and lay the foundations for the.campaign 1928.” Atlanta, Georgia, Tuesday, November 11, 1924 FRANK M’DOWELL, WORSE, IS PUT IN STRAIT-JACKET AT FLORIDA’S SANITARIUM Mechanical Restraint Necessary to Prevent Violence, Ac cording to Report of Phys ician, Who Says Slayer’s Condition Is Getting Beyond Control TA LEA IIASSEE, Fla., Nov. 7.

Funeral to Be Held at Cam brige Wednesday CAMBRIDGE. Mass., Nov. 10.— Henry Cabot Lodge, senior senator from Massachusetts, and Republican ! leader of the senate, is dead. The I end came at the Charlesgate hos pital here shortly before midnight. Struck down last Wednesday just as he was making a rapid conva lescence from his second operation within a few months, the 74-year-old senator was unconscious during most of the days intervening before his death. On Friday he rallied with re markable vitality, and regained con sciousness for a few’ brief periods, during which he spoke to his phy sician and the relatives at his bed ! side. He again relapsed into a. coma, however, and his strength gradfwilly ebbed away. His daughter-in-law, Mrs. John E. Lodge; his granddaughter, Miss Helena Lodge: his two grandsons, ! John S. and Henry Cabot Lodge 11. ! and his physician, Dr.. John C. Cun ningham. were at the bedside when ! he died. Word of his death brought tribute | from many places. Senator David I. Walsh, Democrat, who shared with him the representation of Massachusetts in the upper house, said: 'l “Massachusetts has lost a states ! man and a scholar who added more ! to her prestige than any other man i in half a century.” Funeral on Wednesday Funeral services for Senator Lodge I vvill be held Wednesday at Christ i-hiirih, Cambridge, probably at noon, it was decided by his family today. As he will be buried in the I Lodge family lot at Mount Auburn cemetery, Cambridge will have been the scene of his death, the funeral services and of interment, although his long career in public life had brought him back only occasionally in recent years to the scenes here of his college days at Harvard. Bishop William Lawrence, who was playmate and collegemate of I Senator Lodge, will officiate at the ■ services, assisted by Rev. Prescott Evarts, rector of Christ church. It was at Christ church that Sen ator Lodge was married, and it was from that church.-also that Mrs. Lodge was buried. Bishop Lawrence, in a tribute to j Senator Lodge today, said the death of the senator was the loss of a ' friend ot' tit) years, adding, “he was, as few people realize, a man of very tender sentiment and warm affec tion. His dominant motive in publie life was loyalty to his country. He was an able and strong statesman, I occasionally over-masterful and rest ! less at opposition, but always moved i by what he believed to be the high i est welfare of his country and Hie : world.” Henry Cabot Lodge had served I continuously in the I nited States I senate since 1893, as Republic lead er since August, 1918, and was one of the most prominent members of his party for a generation. Statesman, publicist, author, law yer and historian. Mr. Lodge's mani fold activities made a wide impres sion on comtemporaneous event*. Chief prominence, perhaps, came tc him as leader of the senate oppo i sition to the League of Nations and the treaty of Versailles during 1918; 1919 and 1920. As chairman of the senate foreign relations committee and Republican floor leader, he led the contest with former President Wilson in the fight against ratifica tion. He was the author of the “Lodge reservations” and was cred ited with a large part in molding the policy of the Harding adminis tration against American entrance into the league.

Specialists in mental diseases, who testified at the trial on behalf of the defense, declared that McDowell was a sufferer from dementia prae cox, and that he was in. an incur able condition. They said he had but a few years to live. His mind, they said, was in such a state at the time of the crimes that he was irresponsi ble. Other physicians who took the stand for the state declared, how ever, that such was not the case.
