NEW ARMISTICE TERMS CAUSE DEADLOCK
Campbell Held In $2,000 -Bail In Orphan Asylum Case
LONE OFFICER TAKES HILL GANG

C. €. Campbell, held jointly with
tis wife, Mrs. Naomi V. Campbell, for
alleged cruclties to children in their
“Undenominational Qrphans’ Home,"”
on the Marietta car line, waived a
preliminary hearing before J. N
Greer, Justice of the Peace, in Mari
etta Wednesday. Bond was fixed at
$2.000. ;
Campbell’s decision to waive the
hearing was not announced until the
ecrowd, which had gathered to hear
the case, had been requested to move
into the district courtroom by Judge
Greer. There were about 100 farmers,
business men and court oflicials pres
ent when Sheriff Swanson announced
that on the advice of Attorney C. M.
Dobbs, Campbell desired to waive the‘
preliminary trial. Attorney Dobbs did
not enter the courtroom.
The warrant, which charged Camp
bell with cruelty to two 13-year-old
girl inmates, sworn out by Dr. H. G.
C'arnes, of Atlanta, humane officer,
was followed by one sworn out by
R, I. Florence, father of a boy said
A 0 have been whipped had otherwise
mistreated by the C‘ampbells. !
l¢ was believed that despite the
crippled condition of Campbell, had
he shown himself in the courtroom, |
the grief-stricken father would as- |
¢anlt him. Mr. Florence statpd to'
a Georgian reporter that he placwlf
Ris children in the institution on the
ieath of his wife a few months ago,
and has just gotien up from five |
week's sickness himself. He did not
know of the children's treatment, he
said Mr. Florence also showed re
ceipte for méney paid to the (‘;m\p-;
bells for the board of his children,
and canceled cheoks for ¢lothing pur
chased for them. ;
The presence of a large crowd of
farmers at the hearing was regarded
as ominous (iathered together in
groups, they discussed the matter,
and moryg thas one remark such as
“Better get them both,” “Let's hang
the skunk,” was voiced aloud.
Judge Creer assessed bond of
SI,OOO in each of the warrants. R.
1. and C. H, Webb, neighbors who
started the investigation, were pres
ent to offer testimony, Other wit
r'o->.<(-.7 called to charge Campbell
with finbecoming conduct at the in-|
stitution were Mrs. Anale Meredith,
matron of the home; her daughter,
Miss Tvie Mae Meredith; little May
JHozey and Clarence Owens, inmates.
Dr. Carnes, who was present to
push the charges 'against Campbell,
did not prefer charges of a statutory
character against him Dr. Carnes
stated that he would wait until the
Grand Jur® met before taking the!
voung girls on the stand to tell of
Campbell’s alleged proposals, ‘

1 . ’
Of League of Nations
BY G. BERNARD SHAW. |
. U“opyrt@n, 1919, by Star Company.) '
LONDON, Feb. 9.—Anyone who has fully grasped'
the-situation of the European Powers, and mastered the |
bistory of the war, a liberty which none of the bellig-|
erents could permit even to themselves in private before |
the armistice, but which is now not only free to us all,
but highly desirable, will be staggered by a second read-|
ing of Mr. Wilson’s speeches of January 8, 1918 (the,
fourteen points), and his elucidation of it on Septem- |
ber 27. .
When these speeches were delivered, they passed !
for an arraignment of the Central Empires and a do-}
mand upon them for sécurities for good hehavior.. |
Today they have scarcely any meaning except as |
against Mr. Wilson’s own allies.. One can almost hear|
Mr. Balfour, Lord Grey and Lord Robert Ceeil, M.|
Pichon, M. Poincare and Baron Sonnino, savine: i
“I trust you don’t mean us,”” and Mr. Wilson re- |
plving, with his jaw set in a halo of his famous smiln:!
“You are too modest, gentlemen. Ido mean vou, and,
the Central Powers jheing now disposed of, nobody
else.” !
WILSON ‘“CAPTURED”’ LONDON. ‘
* It may prove that at this point the fat is in the fire.
That French diplomats and English country gentle
men of £30,000 a year are to allow themselves to be
schoolmastered by an American professor is a phenom
enon which to them will appear nothing short of
apocalyptic; and some of them have given anguished
expression to this feeling in private. ;
But the President’s extraordinary personal sucecess
in Tiondon has put an end to such snobhish recalcitrance
in England. Today the role of Charlemange is to him
who can play it; the tiara to him who can pontificate.
After the banquet at Buekingham Palace and the!
reception at the Guild Hall, no doubt remained as to
who was king, by divine right of character and per-|
sonality, in Western Europe. |
PRESIDENT’'S VIEWS WIN OUT. |
But even whilst Mr. Wilson was speaking at the|
Guild Hall, the votes east at the general election a fort-|
night before were being counted; and next dav the |
count revealed an overwhelming majority in Parlia-|
ment for the party against which Mr. Wilson will have |
to fight tooth and nail in the Peace Conference if he is|
to carry his fourteen points. i
HT find in my weleome,’” &aid the President at the|
Guild Hall, ‘*the thought that they (the allied natinns\i
have fought to do away with the old order and establish |
a new one, and that the ke¥ of the old order was that,
nnstable thing which we used to c¢all the balance of
power, a thing which was determined by the swnr<ll
which was thrown in on the one side or the other: a
bhalance which was maintained by jealous watchfulness
and an antagonism of interests which, though it wasl
oenerally latent, was alwayvs dedp-séated.” '
| Unfortunately, the old order was_ just then rm-f‘iv-i
1 ing a five vears’ lease of parliamentary supremacy from!
‘that proportion (about half) of the registered clectors
of the United Kingdom which took the trouble to vote.
; As far as they can be said to have voted for any
thing definite, they voted for hanging the Kaiser; and
[thv degree of their political sagacity may he inferred
from the fact that in order to seeure that satisfaction |
.thv_\‘ put into power the party which will certainly doits
hest to restore the Prussian monarchy, aud which is in|
sympathy with Mr. Wilson’s opponents in the lTnitml’

ment of the League of Nations looks very like g combi
nation of the British Government and the American op
position against the American Government and the Brif-;
ish opposition, |

All of which confirms the view that Mr. Wilson !
will not be helped by party polities. He must make hisi
way as the Man of Destiny, depending for his snppurtl

By O B. KEELER:
Again 1 ask, How do they ‘do it?
Specifically~how does Glenn Young do
it? Here he turns up in Atlanta with
a couple of Crawleys and a Blaine
Stewart in tow; all bold, bad men hy'
the book: and he had captured them
alone and entirely by himself, as the!
boy said translating Caesar’s Com-|
mentaries on the Gallis Wars—walked
right up to the lonesome cabin and
walked right in. All by himself, !
I repeat-—how does he do it?
Glenn Young didn't tell me, exactly.
I talked with him half an hour or so
Wednesday mornirg, over in the Fed
eral building, where he was about go
ing in for a confercnce with Hooper
Alexander, United States District At
torney, about what the Crawleys and
the Stewart could be tried for, and in
what courts,
Later Wednesday the three Unfon
County outlaws were agrrigned before
Judge W, C. Carter, Federal Commis
sioner. They waived a preliminary
exemination and wepa committed to
the Fulton County jail without bhail
pending action by the Federal fh';nudz
T i
Jury. |
His Service Active |
Young is a special agent of the De
partment of Justice. He has been one
for two years. They have been lively
vears, He has run down and captured j
between 400 and 500 deserters, mostly
n the North Caroélina mountains. And |
other *types of outlaw. He has )1’1«1:
tattles; the kind thev called pitched
hattles A score or more pitched bat- |
tles. I used to think pitched battles |
were battles where the combatants |
pitched things at one another, R'H!
these two were battle with rifles and |
revolvers and automatic pistols and |
knives and things. I
Mr. Young interested me deeply. I
asked him to tell me over again hnw‘
he got the three men he brought in
Tuesday night., He complied in a de- |
tached and entirely matter-of-fact |
way, i
Follows Girl to Lair, ;
“I heard that Rose Crawley, one of i
the girls, had gone up into the Big!
Smokies to join her brothers. They'
had got clean away from the posse, it |
seemed I took the trafl by mysnf.";
I wanted to know what for—by him- ,
selfs There were thtee of the outlaws !
and only one of Mr. Young. ;
“Oh, I always hunt alone,” he ex- i
plained cheefully “Yeu ean tra\'('!i
fagter by yourself-—isn't that what
Kipling says? And more quietly,”
Probably. Mr, Young went on:
“l got on the trail and followed it
five days and nights. I was pretty
tired when I came up with the party
Tuesday morning They were in a
cabin, a good ways from anyvwhere, I
knew they wern: in the bin The |
trail led there. So I went up to the|
oor and shoved it open and went in."”
They Were There; He Went,
Yes. That was what got me. He
knew these three had men were in the |
cabin, :«‘-‘w walked right up to the
door and ®pened it and went in I
questioned Mr. Young about this, He
seemed mildly surprised.
“Of course l went in. Hadn't T been
looking for that bunch nearly a week?
What else was there to do?”
- Offhand, 1 could think of 65 or 70
things [ could have done without even
‘A pening the door, let alone golng in
Having thought the matter over, [ am
‘h'il" I could figure out at least 150
things to do that wouldsnot lug that
door into the situation. For one thing,
‘! could have wig-wagged for rein
forcements This simple plan does
not seem to have ocecurred to Mr,
Young He seems to be a person uTt
imple and direct methods Ilom.n»mn!:
the door and went in. And then what? |
In the Lion's Den,
Oh, we all had breakfast together;
Rose C'rawley, too,” said Mr, Young
|1 like that fine. Having r!rnl,yu-diul
: unexpectedly, Mr., Young stopped for
breakfast He 4t at the head of le
";.l.la. with Rose Crawley opposite
But were thare not some formalities !

thing ? [
‘Oh, no I had the drop on them,!
yYou see, Stewnrt was asleep :nnvl‘
GGeorge was dozing, Decatur was cle 'm-l
ing his rifle. They didn't have al
chance." 5
Well, well-Mr, Young must have It
his own way I decline to dispute
'v\trh him. “He is more than a twos|

Situation Acute.
The situation that developed was so
acute that the differences were te
ferred to the new subcommittee, com
posed of Ferdinand Larnaude, of
'rance; Lord Robert Cecil, of Eng
land; Premier Venizelos, of Greece,
and M, Vesniteh, of Serbia.
This committee was busy at work

spments in the league of nations sit
uation will interfere with the holding
of a plenary session prior to the
ident's departure for Wasgflntton r.z,
It[lwfltinn that could not be answered
today. .
While it i{s hoped that a plenary
sesslon can be held before Mr, Wils
sbn leaves, it s admitted the situation
is serious in this regard. Should the
President be unable to take a com
pleted draft of the constitution back
with him to Washington, his quickest
possible return would become impera
tive, -y
In this event [t is expected that
President Wilson would sail for
France immediately after Congress
adjourned, probably about March 6.
In any event it is now certain that
Mr. Wilson must come back to France
shortly after reaching Washingten.
Everything Is Packed.
Mrg, Wilson has had everything
possible packed up at the Murat man
sion, and 1t is expected the President
and his wife will leave either on
Sunday or Monday. The presents and
souvenirs to Mr. and Mrs. Wilson fill
31 big packing cases, ;
| It is expected the presidential party
will land in America on or before
February 28, ¥
President Wlilson is planning to
clean up with all possible speed the
final congressional legislation, probas
bly addressing a joint session of the
Senate and the House Just prior to
adjournment. According to pnc,on(‘
intentions, no special session of Con
gress will be ealled until the peace
conference has Nmaleted its ’
and the peace treaty is actually ready
for the signatures., o
