when the news was flashed across
the country that former United States
Senator Edward W, Carmack had
been shot to death In the street
near the building of the Nashville
Tennesean, a daily newspaper of
which the Southern statesman Was
the editor in chief.
In this tragle street clash were
three persons and the flash of a glis
tening weapon in the sunlight of the
afternoon was witnessed by one
waman.
She had just met Senator Carmack
and exchanged greetings when a
voice, deadly in its tones, jarred their
Cars.
VOICE SENDS WARNING,
“Don’t hide behind that woman,
you coward!™
The senator’s face paled, the woman
tremblingly groped past, leaning
against a wall, and across the street,
several steps apart, were Col. Dun
can B. Copper ahd his lawyer son,
Robin, who immediately fired the fa
-lal shots.
This sensational tragedy had been
oredicted. Bitterness over the po-
Jitical situation in Tennessee was at
fever heat.
Senatér Carmack and former Gov
nrnox;,‘)hlrolm R. Patterson, political
and rsonal enemies of the bitterest
type, were epgaged in a deadly grape
ple over an issue that rent friend
ships and families throughout Ten
nessee--the prohibition question.
To add flame to the warfate was
the unforgettable fact that it was
Senator Carmack who had in former
vears defeated that old “gold standa
ard warhorse,” Col. Josiah Patterccn,
father of the governor, in a congroa
sional race in the district which in
cludes Memphis,
It was through Senator Carmack's
newspaper, the Nashville Tennessean,
that the battle had been fought that
carried Statewide prohibition’ in the

note and power,
CAMPAIGN 18 BITTER.
Both Senator Carmack and Gov
ernor Patterson were known for the
biting sarcasm of their oratory and
jiterature. It was a chief charactere
jstic of the two statesmen. It nad
played havoe with public feeling, ar
rayed netghbor against neighbor and
oventually resulted in the election in
Tennessee of one of its scant few Re
publican governors—in fact, the first
in a period of nearly forty years. He
was Ben W. Hooper, governor for
two terms, or four years, and finally
defeated by Tom C. Rye, a West Ten
nessee lawyer,

land-4, equipped with a Liberty mo
tor, won the New York-Toronto
dorby, and %:ieut. Dan B. Gish, usmg“

Although the complete list has not
been fully checked, officials of the
American Flying Club authorized this
statement this aftarnoon, |
Maynard’s flying time was 467 1-4
minutes, while Gish took 503 1-4 min-~

“It appears to be a great victory
for the Liberty motor,” one official
of the American Aero Club declared
“There is no doubt that Maynard
and Gish took first and second hon
ors, respectively, and both of their
machines were equipped with the
latest model Liberty motor. The!
flight put the motor {o a severe test,
but it came out on teap twice.”
Maynard and Gish are both Ameri

against a fleld of expert Canadian
fliers using the latest type of speedy
British motors. The English 8. E.-5A

race, fared badly.

ROBIN NO POLITICIAN.
Robin was a young lawyer just
along the stepping stones of his pro-l
fessional life, He had not mixed in
political campaigns. He was popular
and generally liked in Nashville, his
home, '
But in Colone! Cooper's case it was
entirely different. He had, in former
years, been a chief adviser of Senator
Carmack when the latter also was
just starting in life. The young Car
mack was then editor of the old Nash
ville American.
But in future years when the “pol
ftics that malke strange bed fellows"
grew apace, Colonel Cooper gave his
allegiance to the Pattarson faction,
and immediately became a target for
Senator Carmack’s editorial sarcasm
through the Nashville Tennessean.
" Colonel Cooper invariably was re
forred to in these editorials as “Dunc.”
These editorial flings became the siz
2ling sensation of the hour in Nash
ville. They were awaited daily with
‘both impatience and uneasiness.
~ Warning was sent to Senator Car
‘mack by Colonel Cooper that the at
\ucks must cease.
t FRIENDS POWERLESS,
Friends sought to intervene, but to
no avail,
Intimates of Senator Carmack
warned him repeatedly to arm him
self, The very atmosphere in the
Tennessee capital hecame surcharged
with tenseness of the fear of impend
ing tragedy.
Senator Carmack. merely smiled
when urged to arm himself, and had
refused the proffer of revolvers by his
personal friends.
Following the tragedy and the later
surrender of the {'nopers, the son and
father, the trial became the most ex
elting ever staged in a courtroom.
Further trouble was prevented only
through the most diplomatic and de
vious channels.
Both wére found guilty. Robin was
convicted of murder in the second de
gree. The father was convicted and
sentenced as a co-conspirator and an
accessory, although the shots were
fired by his son. ¥
PARDONED BY PATTERSON,
When Robin's case went to the Su
preme Court, Governor Patterscn is
sued a pardon to Colonel Cooper.
The affair had almost died out in
the feelings of Democratic political
leaders of the old school, and the new
orop had passed it up as a buried in
cident until the news today of the
dfath of Robin and in the suspicion
of foul play.
Robin had resumed his xyncfln of
law with offices in the Noel block,
Nashville, and Colonel Cooper had
moved to the country, after the Car.
mack tragedy.
Former Governor Patterson for the
past few years has been on the lec.
ture platform, recelving an aenor
mous salary, strange to say, from the
Anti-Baloon League in & nation-wide
prohibition campaign. He had under
gone religious conversion, joined the
church and turned hisx weapons of
oratory against the very {ssue he had
g 0 vallantly champloned as governor
when he vetoed the State-wide pro
hibition statute.
He re-entered Tennessee politics in
1915 when he became a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for the
United States Senate, in the race with
Col. Luke Lea, present editor of the
Nasghville Tennessean and at that
time the senior senator from Tennes«
#eo, and Kenneth D. MeKellar of Mem
phig, McKellar was nominated and
elected, Colonel Lea ran second and

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30,—~Two
amendments to the League of Nations
covenant directed against the pre
ponderance of voting power given to
the British I2mpire have been adopted
by the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee,
The first amendment was that pro
posed by BSenator Johnson of Cali
fornia, providing that the United
States shall have the same number
of votes as the British Empire, both
in the council and in the assembly
of the league.
The other amendment, offered by
Senator Moses of New Hampshire,
provides that in any'dispute involv
ing any of the possessions or domi
nions of the British Empire and any
other member of the league, no part
of the British Empire shall be per
mitted to cast a vote, |
VOTE WAS 9 TO 8. |
Both amendments were adopted by
the vote of 9 to 8, Senator McCum
ber of North Dakota voting with the
Democrats, and all the other Repub
lican members voting for the amend- |
ments, \
C‘ommenting upon the action of the
committee, Senator Lodge, the chair
man, had this to say after the com- |
mittee adjourned:
‘l'd like to see any one go on the
stump and say to the American peo
ple thgt the United States should
not ha¥e as many votes in the league
as Great Britain if such a league is
to be formed.” 1
The view generally taken by the
senators who supported the amend
ments is that the issue will be a
hard one for opponents to meet, They |
have not yet been advised as to the
position the President may take with
reference to them.
REPORT NEAR.
The adoption of the amendments
relating t othe voting power in the
League of Nations brings the com-‘
mittee almost to the point of being
ready to report the treaty with res
ervations. it4s understood that near
ly every member of the committee
has already drafted a resolution of
ratification. The committee intends
to thraslhr these all over and report!
the ‘treaty by next Friday. |
When, Senator Johnson offered his
amendment, Senator McCumber in
troduced a substitute which provided
that whenever the case referred to the
assembly ipvolves a dispute between
one member of the league and an
other member whose sell-governing
dominions are also represented,
neither the dominant member nor its
dominions may join in the report on
the dispute. This was rejected by a
vote of 10 to 3, McCumber, Hitch
cock and Swanson voting for it, while
Williams of Mississippi voted with
the Republicans against it. %
THE AMENDMENT. .
The Johnson amendment is as fol
lows: : i
~ “Provided, That when any member
of tiie league has or possesses self
governing dominions or colonies, or
parts of empire which are also mem
bers of the league, the United States
shall have votes equal to the ag
gregate vote of such member of the
ieague and its self-governing domin
ions and colonies, and parts of empire
In the council or assembly of the
league,”
An amendment by Senator Fall to
limit the vote of the American repre
sentative on the reparations commis
sion to matters in which the United
States is directly interested was also
adopted,
Tfie speech by Senator Knox which
places him in the ranks of the irrec
oncilables who will vote to reject the
whole treaty is looke dupon by Re
publican opponents of the treaty as
one of the most significant develop
ments in the fight against the league.
Senator Knox has enjoyed such high
rank in govommenul and diplomatic
circles that his position on a ques
tion of such importance is generally
regarded as one which will compel the

Owens Charges
Lodge Changed Views
(By International News Service.)
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.~~Quoting
from a speech of Senator Lodge, de
livered in 1915, in which he favored
a League of Nations, Senator Owen,
Democrat of Oklahoma, in an address
in the Senate today replied to the
most recent attack of the chairman
of the Forelgn Relations Committee
upon the peace treaty and League of
Natlons covenant.
“The galleries always applaud,”™
sald Senator Owen, “when a senator
strikes an oratorical pose and thun
ders forth his sturdy Americanism,
and the senitor from Massachusetts
did not fail to strike this popular
chord. The senator gloriously said:
“‘Call me selfish if you will, con
servative, or reactionary; but an
American 1 have remained all my
life. 1 can never bhe anything else
but an American and I must think
of the United States first’'
“NATIONS MUST UNITE.”
“Fine. This is magnificent. The
galleries burst with applause. But
in June, 1915, at Union College, the
-en*tor was still an American and
he told the world In lpnguage clear
and foreible that— |
**Nations must unite as men unite
to preserve peace and order |
“He stated tmh‘nnuom must be
8o unnedru to able to say to
any single country: |
“'‘You must not go to war'
“Fine. This is splendid, but a
flat contradiction of his present at
titude that nations must not unite to
preserve peace and order; that tha{
must not be so united as to sdy t
any single country: ‘You must not
g 0 to war'
“Mr. President, am 1 going too far
when 1 appeal from ‘Philip drunk to
Philip sober? ™ :
COMPARES ALLIANCES.
Referring to Senator Lodge's as
sertion that the preamble of the
League of Nations covenant does not
differ essentially from that of the
treaty of Parls from which omnz
the Holy Alllanoce and its wars an
that “mankind is constantly repeat
ing itself,” Senator Owen said:
“In other words, the promises made
by the treaty of the Holy Alllance
having led to war these promises
will also lead to war because ‘man
kind repeats itself,' |
‘The obivious fallacy of this argu-.
ment is that the alleged ‘purposes’ of
the Holy Alllance had hothing to do

PARIS, Aug. 80.—Gen. John J.
Pershing, commander of the Amer
ican A. E. F. in France, today de
clined to recognize the right of the
Congressional Committee on War Ex
penditures and Treatment of Prison
ers to question him for information.
The “interview” between General
Pershing and the congressmern lasted
only four minutes. &
The meeting was arranged for 10
o'clock this morning at the general’s
headquarters, but when the committee
arrived they found General Pershing
absent.
ARRIVES AT 10:30.
General Pershing had gone to say
good-by to Premier Clemenceau and
it was 10:30 before he reached his
headquarters and confronted the ime
patient investigators.
The committee was headed by
Representative Royal C. Johnson of
South Dakota.
General Pershing, who is busily
preparing for his departure for home
next week, said he regarded the in
terview as purely a “social call” but
the members of the committee took
another view of it. The American
commander ewplained that he was
very busy and, in any event, the rec
ords of army transactions had all
‘been shipped to Washington.
NO “SOCIAL AFFAIR.”
After the conference members of
the committee denied that it had been
a ‘“social affair.,” It was plain busi
ness, they said. The committeemen
explained that they felt they had the
right to go to the highest possible
authority in their gearch for informa
tion on military matters.
“I found conditions in the adminis
tration of the American expeditionary
force most satisfactory, particularly
the work of the liquidation commit+
tee,” said Representative Henry D.
Flood of Virginia.
PERSHING DECLINES.
“Technically, C'ongress may have
not inquisitorial jurisdiction over
American citzens outside of the
United States, but I know that it is
unprecedented for an American cit
izen to refuse to recognize that juris
diction,” Representative Johnson de
clared. “General Pershing declined to
testify on the ground that the records
were unavailable., He was informed
that most of the questions would be
propounded so that they would not
require printed data. He then de
clined to testify at all before the com
mittee,”
Representative Johnson later said
that General Pershing would be called
upon to appgar before the committee
in the United States,
~ “It is regrettable that there should
be any appearance of a conflict be
tween the military and civil authori
ties at this time, when*the world
;uhould boecome *normal and be gov
‘erncd not by armies and navies, but
by law,” said Mr. Johnson,
sult from the virtuous promises made
to the people by the Holy Alliance.
“The Holy Alliance made wilifully
deceitful and false promises ot
brotherly love and peace in order to
deceive the people of Russia, Prus.
sia and Austria and thus prevent
them from going into a revolution
as the people had aone in France
under like conditions of tyranny and
brute military power,
VAST DIFFERENCE.
“Does the senator from Massa
chusetts renlly belleve that it was
the virtuous ‘promises’ of the Holy
Alllance that led to war or the ‘ge
cret’ purposes and ambitions of
these military monarchial despots
who were secretly plotting to rule
the world by brute foree? There is
a vast difference between the prom
ises of an honest man or an honest
government of gincere well-meaning
democracies, and the promises of
trained liars, murderers and self
seeking despots, And I feel fully
Justified in ducflbln% the Hohen
zollerns and the Hapsburgs and the
Romanoffs in these plain terms. |
“May 1 not be permitted to appeal
to the better Americanism of the
senator from Massachusetts not to
throw himself across the path of
human progress and world beace?
He is not, as he thinks, waging a
war against Woodrow Wilson; he
is vncln’l a war against the desires
and the hopes of all mankind.”

Local Shopmen Lean
To Wilson’s Proposal
Leaders of the railroad shop work
ers of Atlanta are of the belief that
there is a growing sentiment among |
the men here to accept tentatlvelyl
President Wilson's proposals on the
wage increase demdnd of the unions.
The President's pledge to reduce the
high cost of living and to see thatl
the union men are protected in future
railroad legislation together with the!
increase gs 4 cents an hour is de- )
clared by them to be posible of ac
ceptance.
For se\'rgral days the proposition of
‘the President has been discussed 'by
‘tho men, although no official actibn
'has been taken by the locals here, It
was planned to hold a meeting Friday
night, but following receipt of offi
clal communications from the union
‘heads at Washington the meeting
was postponed. It is said that the
postponement was announced at the
request of the international leaders.
~ Some of the shop craftsmen here
still are of the opinion that their de
mands should be met in full. Others
‘feel that the matter should be left
completely in the hands of the lead
érs at Washington for settlement.
Arrangements have been made to
hold a meeting some day next week.
Monday 1s Labor Day and it is not
probable that the session will be held
Monday night unless urgent mesages
lam received from national headquar
ters at Washington.
i It is certain that the local - shop
workers' will not walk out again on
strike until an official strike ballot
has been takemn and call issued by the

Pharmacodynamic:
Important Looking
Word, to Say Least

Dr. R. A. Bliss Jr., professor of
pharmacology in the school of med
"icine of Emory University, read a
paper that created much. interest
at the annual session of the Amer
fcan Pharmaceutical Association,
held Thursday and Friday at the
Hotel Pennsylvania, New York. Dr.
Bliss is associate referee of the
Official Agricultural Chemists of
Washington, and nis paper was on
ther subject of “Pharmacodynam
ics.,”
Until recent years pha‘naco«y
namies has been taught only in
medical schools, particularly, along
the lines of physiological drug as
say of standardization. This |is
the development and application of
methods - for standardizing those
vegetable drugs that can not be ac
curtely assayed or standardized
by chemical methods, by methoas
which use animal as the standard
izing medium,
More than one-third of the
sixty-six schools of pharmacy in
the United States are giving such
courses and another third has sig
nified an intention of adding such
a course, One fact which practi
cally necessitates the course in the
school of pharmacy is that the
present pharmacopia indicates and
advises this method of agsay for a
number of drugs.
Dr. Bliss' paper on this subject
attracted muech attention, and ex
cerpts were printed in New oYrk

Kahn, salvagd officer at the camp,
that there are between 500 And
1,000 loads of the kindling wood to
be disposed of, most of which has
been split up and prepared for sale
by German prisoners.
An effort was made by a Geor

of the German prisoners engaged in
their wood chopping activities Fri
day afternoon, and, although the
pictures were snapped, before the
camera man could make his “get
away” the officer of the day
pounced upon him and took his
plates.
Officials at the camp, however.
called the prisnoers to one side and
permitted the photographer to snap

MEMYPHIS, TENN,
The County Commission, in special
session Saturday at noon, refused the
request of Grady Hospital officials
-
for $76,000 for the completion of the
new nurses’ dormitory.
Commissioners, in taking this ac
tion, made it plai nthat it was solely
due to the strained financial condi
tion of the county, the heavy burden
this year of having to pay £sr all ecity
improvements. Sympathy for the
movement was expressed, but com
missioners said it was absolutely out
of the question for the county to give
the city any more money this year.
The request for the appropriation
was formally presented by Steve R.
Johnston, superintendent of the hos
pital, who explained that at least
$75,000 would be required to comfi]ete
the dormitory. He urged that the
county make an appropriation, de
claring the hospital officials would
gladly receive anything “from $5,000
to the necessary $75,000.”
Dr, W. L. Gilbert, chairman of the
County Finance Committee, explained
that the county now virtually is
“broke,” that it is having to borrow
mioney to meet current expenses.
“We have already had to borrow
extensively and will have to continue
borrowing until the new taxes com

The Malaria Mosguito
A mosquito cannot communicate malaria unless
it is infected with malaria. The bite of a malaria
mosquito will transmit malarial Parasitec to the
blood of a person and these malarial parasites which
feed on the blood should be destroyed before they
have time to increase in numbers. Malarial Fever is
sometimes called Chills and Fever, Bilious Fever and
Swamp Fever.

All of the commissioners said they

county, in the spring, appropriated
$25,000 for the dormitory, it being un
derstood at that time that this sum
would complete it.
