FGHTING FLYERS FOUM
~REST AT WAR FRONT
“Let’s go back to the front and get
some rest.” ‘
That's what the members of the
Lafayette Bscadrille used to say after
a few days’ leave in Paris. Bert Hall,
American ace, who will appear at the
Auditorium Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, with his picture, “A Ro
manee of the Air,” says he and the
other members of the Escadrille used
to have such a good time in Paris and
keep so busy, being entertained hy
the “Marraines,” or godmothers who
had adopted them, that they really
did have to go hack to where the
shells were popping to get a Ltilo
rest. :
“It is also a fact that flying was so
fascinating and so agreeable that v
couldn’t stay away from it long at a
time,” he says in his book “En
FAir” “I got homesick every time I
had leave, and wanted to get back to
my pals and the excilement. There
is a fascination about it that ruins a
man for anything else.”
Had Strenuous Siege.
The particular leave that Lieuten
ant Hall is writing about came after
a strenuous siege with the Huns
along the Somme front.
“By the time that the Lafayette
Escadrille was_placed on the Somme
front it was getting pretty well shot
to pieces,” he says. “The fierce flving
and fighting in the Vosges region had
now cost us, among many, two of our
best, Kiffin Rockwell and Norman
Prince. The rest of us were still to
gether and getting in some good
licks on the boche every day.
“We received orders on October 14
to leave at once for the Somme. Work
began at once on our sector on the
Somme front. There was something

DES MOINES, IOWA, March 22—
lowa’s official circles are sizzling to
day with the most sensational tur
moil in years as a result of charges
made before the legislative judiciary
committee that $5,000 was paid an
attorney to buy the pardon of Ernest
lßathbun from Governor W. L. Hard
ng.
Impeachment of the Governor, it is
threatened, may be the outcome of
the investigation.
Governor Harding, in a statement,
says he brands the charges as “pre
posterous” and has declared the en
tire affair a “frame-up” on the part
of his political enemies. The" Gov
ernor openly charges Attorney Gen
eral H. M. Havner with participation
in the “frame-up.”
The charges against Governor
Harding were made in an affidavit
filed by William Rathbun, an Ida
County farmer, who declared he had
given George Clark, his attorney,
$5,000 with the express understand
ing that the money was to go to Gov
ernor Harding in exchange for a par
don for his son, Ernest Rathbun. The
younger Rathbun had been convicted
of a criminal assault and was under
sentence of life imprisonment when a
pardon was granted him by the Gov
ernor.
Affidavits supporting the charges
made by William Rathbun were made
by several others and were presented
to the judiciary commtitee by Attor
ney General Havner. No evidence was
offered, however, to show the $5,000
was ever paid the Governor,

doing every day. My first real stunt,
a very short air combat, brought
down a boche at Raucourt, near Pe
ronne, and brought him down clean
inside our lines. - The bombardments
here on the Somme were terrific. The
artillery work had been concentrated
to a high degree and was capable of
firing 200.000 shells of all caliber per
hour, This was equal to between
9,000 and 11,000 tons of steel and iron
per hour.”
Lieutenant Hall describes quite In

“¥¢'s a curious thing that one gets
used to the noise,” he says, “and 1
soon slept just the same as though 1
were at home, with the shells popping
around us. One night the Germans
dropped bombs on our quariers about
2 o’clock in the morning. One of the
mechanies was killed and many men
wounded. The old shack was full of
holes. A hangar containing seven
machines was burned, and the boche
put about sixteen others out of com

planes in shape to use again.
“On another night we got hit again
good and plenty. The boche did it
with one well-placed bomb, too. This
bomb was dropped on an ammunition
depot, where 100,000 shells were
stored,
“The shells exploded for ten hours
afterward, which was rather peculiar,
only a few exploding at a time. They
certainly made quite a little noise.
“These bombing raids at night were
a feature of the fighting all that fall
on the Somme. Of course, we retal

BI fll Pl Wlll NUT
By J. BART CAMPBELL,
Staff Correspondent of the I. N. S.
WASHINGTON, March 22.—For the
obvious reason that they will lack the
necessary two-thirds vote with which
to override President Wilson's veto
power, no serious attempt to restore
high protective tariff will be attempt
ed by the Republican majority in the
next Congress, it was disclosed today
by Republican leaders of the Senate
and House, who were approached on
the subject.
It was learned that Republican
Senators who will be on the Senate
finance committee were of the opin
ion it would be a waste of time and
effort to even write a protective tar
iff bill when the Republicans wiil
control the Senate only by the nar
rowest margin.
Their opinion was based on the as
sumption that the league of nations
covenant would be so amended as
proposed by some Republican and
Democratic Senators alike‘as to elim
inate its “commercial repwsals” fea
tures sufficiently to permit the United
States to continue to adopt any tariff
poliey it deeined essential to its own
requiremeants.
Will Lay Foundation.
Senators and Representatives of
the Republican majority, who, as
members of either the Senate finance
committee or the House ways and
means committee, would naturaily be
closely identified with any tariff leg
islation proposed in the next Con
gress, revealed that the Republican
tariff plan for this year, at least, was
merely to lay the foundation for a
future restoration of a high protec
tive tariff.
Tariff hearings conducted by the
finance and ways and means commit
tee for the purpose of determining the
effect the present tariff “for revenue
only” has had on domestic industry
and foreign commerce, would he of
invaluable assistance in the laying of
such foundations, it was declared. At
the request of Representative Ford
ney, of Michigan, who is to be the
chairman of the Republican controlled
ways and means committee in the
next Congress and who is strongly
committed to a high protectiveé®tariff,
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce of the Department of Com
merce already is engaged in furnish
ing the committee with detailed in
formation as to the effect the present
tariff has had on American business.
Treasury experts of the customs
service aiso are at work, at Fordney's
request, on the compilation of addi
tional ilnformation to assist him in
carrying out the Rapublican program
of laying before the country the ex
act results of the existing tariff sys
tem pending the opportunity the Re
publicans are waiting to enable them
to substitute for that system tariff
legislation of their own.
Leaders of the Republican majority
stated today that the ways and means
committee might even go so far as to
frame and report a high protective
tariff bill as a framework of a future
bill, but they declared that probably
rot until after the presidential elec
tion in 1920 would they be able to
determine just how much further they
could go with their pro&med abolition
of the present tariff “for revenue
only.”
They added that the Democratic
minority had already evinced a firm
intention to combat any move for the
return to a high protective tariff—
even if amended league of nations
covenant permitted it—although the
Southern Demoerats were strongly
disposed to favor a “sky-high” tariff
on aniline dyes, the production of
which has been developed into a rich
iy important industry in the Southern
States since the war shut off the im
portation of such dyes from Ger
many.

Mrs. Odalite Wallace, figure in alienation and divoree suit, who
.’= - . -
refused to appear with her 4 children in Superior Court Saturday.
Judge John T Pendleton, in Supe
rior Couart, Saturday sounded an ulti
matum that sMrs. Odalite Wallace,
central figure in a $50,000 alienation
suit brought by her husband, Robert
Bruce Wallace, local automobile
salesman, against J. F. Sullivan, his
former employer, must produce her
four children before him next Sat
urday, or else he will dispose of them
without her presence.
This action followed the repeated
failure of the young wife to bring the
children—three little girls and a boy
——into court in response to an order
signed by Judge Pendleton in pro
ceedings lustituted by the husband to
take them from ner. The unsuccess
ful effort of Saturday was the fourth
‘made to bring the case to trial. Mrs.
‘Wallace, with the children, is still in
Newberry, S. C., outside the jurisdic
tion of the Georgia courts, where she
wegt several weeks ago, following the
domestic break. .
| Says She Is Defiant.
~ Judge Pendleton, when announce
‘ment was made Saturday that Mrs,
‘Wallace and the children were not in
court,{ remarked:
| “It Tooks very much like Mrs. Wal
lace has no intention of coming to
court.”
Attorney Ernest C. Bentley, counsel
tor Mrs. Wallace, stated to the court
that the young woman was unable to
come to Atlanta, but that it was her
purpose to comply with.the order of
court and produce the children.
He presented a certificate from a
physician in Newberry, explaining
that “Mrs Wallace and the children
were not in condition to make the
trip to Atlanta. Judge Pendleton,
however, held that such a certificate
was not sufficient, as it did not even
state that Mrs. Wallace or either of
the children was ill. Attorney Ralph
McClelland, of counsel for Wallace,
declared to the court that the physi
cian who had signed the certificate
is an uncle of Mrs. Wallace,
Insists on Trial.
Attorney McClelland insisted that
the case be tried Saturday in view of
Mrs. Wallace's repeated failure to
appear in court, but Judge Pendleton
said he would give her one more week
of grace. If she is not able to come
to Atlanta, her testimony will be
taken in deposition form and read to
the court, it was expected.
B. E. Brooks, of the Brooks-Callo
way Construction Company and the
Brooks Motor Company, stated Sat
urday that J, F. Sullivan, the man ac
cused by Wallace of winning the love
of Mrs. Wallace, is no longer con
nected with either concern. The last
‘hanrd of Sullivan, it was explained,
was several weeks ago, at which time
‘he was in Oakland, Cal.

~ Two fire department captains and
six other firemen have been sus
pended pending trial on charges of
complicity in a econspiracy against
Chief W. B. Cody and Homer R. Dan
iel, signal operator who was a lead
er in the attack on the chief, has
been discharged by the board of fire
masters. The men suspended include
Captain John Terrell, who was a can
didate for chief to succeed Cody;
Captain J. C. Setz, Signal Operator
'H. B. Cummings, son of former Chief
Cummings; Firemen R. M. Fleming,
R. E. Little, R. G. Anderson, H. O,
Rosser and J. 8. Hannah
. The discharge of Daniel and the
suspension of the other men followed
a meeting of the fire board Friday
afternoon, and bears out the predic
tion in a news story published in The
Atlanta Georgian three weeks ago
The vote of the board was taken in
executive session, but is said to have
been unanimous in each instance.
Daniel had been under suspension
since the discharge of Fred A. Straub,
the origial action in his case being
similar to that taken in the cases of
the other eight men suspended Fri
day. KEach 'of the latter will be given
a separate trial, and in the event they
are found guilty, they will be dis
charged, according to members of the
fire board,
Councilman Approached,
There was little of a sensational na
ture in the trial of Daniel. Council
man T. A. Conger told of being ap
proached by Daniel with a request
that he support Cummings for chief,
Daniel charging that Cody was in
competent.
M. H. Carter, of Engine House No,
7, told of a meeting in Daniel's room
in the Grand Building for the pur
pose of asking Councilman Claude
Ashley to support Cummings for chief.
At this meeting were Straub, Daniel,
Fleming, Wilson and Chambers, fire
men or ex-fitemen. Straub acted as
spokesman and said he was out for
anyone except Cody for chief, alleg
|ing that 85 per cent of the firemen
were against Cody.
Attorney Admits Opposition.
Attorney Harvey Hill, representing
Daniel, stated that his client admit
ted working against Cody in the race
for chief, but claimed that his charges
were political and not personal, He
argued that Chief Cody had gone on
record with the assertion that he did
)xmt attach blame to any of the fire
men for political activity, and there
fore Attorney Hill asked that charges
against Daniel be dismissed,
Daniel took the stand in his own
‘bohult‘ and asserted that he did not
‘have any personal grievance against
Chief Cody. However, on cross-ex
\uminn'lnn by Aldine Chambers, rep
resenting Chief Cody, Daniel refused
"m state what firomgn he represent
ed when he went to' see Councilinan
Conger, He sald he was being tried on
his own cage and would not be class
ed as a “squealer.”
