ing F. J. Hodges in Macon,
on Stand for Hour,
M.ACON. Ga., Feb. 27.—The fate of
Hy Lee Cross, who went to trial
Tuesday in the Supgrior Court for
the murder of Frank J. Hodges, real
estate man, last September, went to
the jury shortly before noon today.
The closing argument was made by
Sol'citor C, H. Garrett, who was as
sisted by Judge John P. Ross, who
made the opening argument to the
Jury . last night. He was followed by
attorney R. L. Berner for the de
fense. Two more powerful argu
ments were never heard here. When
cougt opened this morning, Attorney
W. A. McClellan for the defense, be
gan his argument, followed by the
sojicitor,
Cross was on the stand yesterday
afternoon nearly an hour. He told
the jury of his business connections
w'th Hodges, and why he fired three
bullets into Hodges stomach. His
slatement featured the trial
He sald he was forced to sell his
interest in the business to Hodges
for'& song and that Hodges gave him
notes chiefly as pav ents. He said
he loaned Hodges SSOO worth of Lib
erty bonds and received in return for
the bonds and Interest in the busi
ness only $625, |
The note for $27.50 over which!
they argued and which led to the
ehooting, was the first note to fall
due, Cross sald. Hodges, he said, had
uot pald it and the bank that had
the paper had paid it out of Crous"
bank account. ‘
“l met Hodges and told him the!
note was past due gnd asked him
what settlement he Was going to
mmake,” said Cross. “Hodges became
engry and sald he would settle it
thegn. He grabbed me around the
head and rushed me down the street.
] attempted to free myself of the
hold. I ~ulled my pistol and shot at
bis hip, not intending to kill h m, bu:
to force him to release me. [ firea
nnother shot before he turned me
aloose, and then the third shot be
fore I really realized I was free from
his grip.”

Most of us, perhaps, are inelined
to think there never was such a dev
ilishly unsatisfactory Congress as
that which has been quarreling a
yealF over the peace treaty and get
ting nowhere. But away back in
Cleveland's time statesmen were be-
Ing roasted just as hard, if one may
Judge from a poem published in the
Pittsburg Dispatch and handed me
from the scrapbook of my friend, J.
A Dickey. Here it is:
THE SUGAR-CURED CONGRESS,
How dear to our hearts s our Democratic
Congress
As hopeles inaction presents it te view;
The bill of poor Wilson, the deep tangled
tariff,
And every mad pledge that their lunacy
knew!
The widespwead depression, the mills that
closed by it,
The rock of free silver where great
Grover feil,
They've busted our country, no use to
deny it,
And d-r':,lrn the old party, it's busted as
we
This G. Cleveland Congress,
This Queen Lilly Congress,
This wild free trade Congress
We all love so well. 2
Thelr moss covered plédges we no longer
treasure, }
For Jn;,wn at nmoon when out hunting a
on,
We find that instead of the corn they
had promised,
They've given us nothing—not even a
cob.
How ardent we've cussed 'em with lips
overflowing
With suiphurous blessings as great swear
words fell.
The emblems of hunger, free trade and
free wilver,
Are sounding in sorrow the working
man's knell.
This bank-breaking Congress,
This mill-cloring Congress,
This starvation Congress
We all love so well,
How sweet from their eloquent lips to re
ceive It,
"Cuz:edd tariff protection mo longer up
old,”
Wa listened—and voted our dinner pails
empty,
The factories silent, the furnaces cold,
And now far removed from our lost sit
uations,

Miss Anne Morgan nanded a bit of
a jolt to Dave W. Webb, president
of the Advertising Club, when she
spoke at the club luncheon Thursday
afternoon. Mr. Webb had just in
troduced her as the woman who went
nearer the front lines in France
than any other woman. '
‘I find myself in the position of
gelling something to the public,” said
Miss Morgan. “But I find 1 have
neglected the important matter of
advertising my goods in advance.
And 1 have learned a lesson from
your president—that advertising lis
the art of telling an untruth skil
fully!”
And right over her head hung the
club motto: “Truth in Advertiging.”

GRAFT CHARGE DROPPED.
DETROIT, Feb. 27.—Judge Arthur
J. Tutle, in United States District
Court on motion of Levi Cooks of
Washington, attorney for the defend
ants, dismissed charges of bribery
againgt Grant Hugh Brown, wealthy
New York sportsman, and five others
in connection with an alleged $30,-
000,000 army salvage graft.
A Clean Newszaper ror Southern Homes
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, Feb. 27.—
An attempt to prove that many of
the nominating petitions circulated in
behalf of the 1918 senatorial candi
dacy of James W. Helme, Henry
Henry Ford's opponent in the Demo
cratic primaries, were written by
Richard Fletcher, State labor com
missioner and a Newberry henchman,
was expected to occupy part of to
day’'s session of the Newberry trial
The government’s contention is,
many of the petitions for Helme, al
leged to have run against Ford at
the behest of the Newberry cam
paigners, getting a “salary” for so
doing, were prepared by Fletcher in
his own handwriting. The govern
ment also contends that numerous
of the petition signatures, of which
votes polled by Helme, were false,
there were mere than the number of
Francis B. Courtney of Detroit a
handwriting expert, will be called on
today to establish the handwriting as
Fletcher's. Whether other of the de
fendants will be involved was not
revealed by government counsel
The campaign activitics of Fletcher
have been mentioned many times in
the course of the trial. Various bits
of testimony have charged him with
threatening to ‘“railroad” William
McKeighan to the penitentiary to get
the support of the city of Flint,with
fixing n.w stone roads as the present
Bay County would get if it went for
Newberry, and with boasting in the
State House at Lansing that SBOO,OOO
was spent in putting Newberry over.
ENVOY NOMINATED.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.~The
President sent the nomination of
George W, P. Hunt of Arizona to be
envoy extraordinary and minister
plenipotentiary to Siam.
