Woman Admits She
Defrauded Veterans
CHATTANOOGA, Aug. 7.—Lying on
her deathbed, Mrs. J. K. McCloud, of
Charleston, S. C., widow of a Confed
erate soldier, admitted to-day to J. A.
Rector, an attorney of St. Louis, that
she had secured thousands of dollars
j from Confederate organizations of the
South posing as a widow of the late
•T. K. Alcorn, former Governor and
j United States Senator of Mississippi.
Mrs. McCloud, who is f>0 years of age,
operated a? an imposter in practically
every city in the South. Attorney Rec
tor is a grandson of the late Governor
Alcorn and tracked the woman all over
the South.
The Senate Finance Committee
will take the firing line Friday In an
effort to have the upper House pass
a tax equalization bill revolutionizing
the present State taxing methods.
The bill, drawn by Chairman Miller i
and President Anderson, hns been
agreed upon by the Finance Commit
tee and will be reported upon favor
ably Friday morning, and probably
will be passed not later than Mon
day.
The bill provides for a State Tax
Assessor to be appointed by the Gov
ernor for a term of six years, who
shall determine if the counties are
returning a Just amount of taxable
property. He will have all the powers
outlined for the proposed State Tax
Commission.
Should the State Tax Assessor and
the county boards fail to agree the
bill provides that a hearing may be
held before an arbitration board of
three members, one to be appointed
by the County Board, one by the
State Tax Assessor and the third by
the Governor. The county boards are
to consist of three members.
County Treasurers Hit.
Wednesday afternoon two impor
tant bills were passed; the first by
'Senator Stark providing for the per
manent registration of voters, and
the other by Senator Watts, giving
to counties the option to abolish the
office of County Treasurer.
The bill providing for the appoint
ment of a special commission to dis
pose of the present Governor’s man
sion was defeated by the close vote
of 21 to 19'after a heated debate.
Senator McNeill declared the bill
gave too much power to the commis
sion, as $500,000 of the State’s money
was involved. Senator Harrell de
clared that a lobby of land dealers
favoring the bill had existed a long
time.
New Registration Bill Passes.
Senator Stark’s permanent regis
tration hill was passed after a vigor
ous fight by Senator Harrell who de
clared the measure would tear down
the registration laws which keep the
negro from voting.
In reply Senator Miller assured the
Senate that there were sufficient pro
visions in the bill to eliminate the
negro vote just as it is eliminated
now. Senator Burtz’s amendment,
which was passed, provides that the
voter shall be entitled to permanent
registration unless registered under
the provisions of subsections 1 and 2
of paragraph 4, section of the Code
of 1910.
These clauses qualify for voting
the Civil War and the Indian war.
the Civil War and the Indian Wars
and all persons legally descended
from these.
