GREAT GATHERING
Grizzled Old Statesman Comes
For Long Tour of the Uni=

TO WIN AMERICA FOR
FRANCE IS HIS MISSION
Comes as Private Citizen But no
Prince Could Have Received
a Greater Ovation Than Was
Given by Metropolis.
New York, Nov. 18—Georges Clem
enceau today again set foot on Amer
ican soil.
The war premier of France, who
left this country more than half a
century ago as a young medical stu
dent, returned in ripe old age with
many years of stormy statesmanship
behind him, to win for his country
men the sympathy of America.
The Tiger came as a private citi
zen, but to no potentate could have
been extended a more stately wel
come than was accorded him when he
was taken from the steamship Paris
in the harbor and landed on the his
toric battery wall.
. The Tiger found thousands of peo
ple waiting for him on the tip of Man
hattan Island. There were cheers
when he stepped ashore and then,
headed by the police department band,
M. Clemenceau 'and the committee
which had gone down the bay wel
come him started up Broadway for
his official reception at the city hall.
The aged statesman was carrying a
red rose in one hand when, he began
his trip up the great canyon. Girls
in office buildings leaned from win
dows and blew kisses to him. The
Tiger replied by waving the rose in a
courtly manner.
The welcoming committee on arriv
ing at quarantine aboard the munic
ipal steamer Macom, found the Tiger
peering through a window on the
promenade deck. He was wearing a
gray cutaway Coat with a gray fedora.
The committee did not board the
Paris as quickly as it expected be
cause the Maseom forgot to bring
boarding ladders. Soon, however, an
other municipal craft, the Manhat
tan, arrived properly equipped and
slipped in between the Macom and the
Paris. The committee then stepped
aboard while Clemenceau observed
their difficulties with the curiosity of
a child.
Escorted to the great saloon by
the captain of the Paris, the commit
tee was presented to M. Clemenceau
by' J. J. Jusserand, French ambassa
dor to the United States,
"Robert Woods Bliss, assistant sec
retyay of state, welcomed the former
premier to America in behalf of Pres
ident Harding and invited him to visit
{he’ President at Washington. Clem
enceau accepted, expressing his de
light.
Complimented by the committee on
the healthy appearance lie presented,
M. Clemenceau replied lightly:
“I am growing, younger every day.
In fifty years I think I’ll be a baby.”
Robert. Condon,, a member of the
national executive committee of the
American, Legion, then welcomed the
former premier as “a man who more
than any other exemplifies the spirit
in which we carried on the war.”
Shaking hands, the Tiger replied:
“You’re the man I like to see. It’s
th ft thoughts" of your men that, count’’
Making ready - to leave the Paris,
M. Clemenceau called excitedly to his
valet, Albert, who was going to the
dock with the baggage, to be sure and
see that it was landed safely.

GRATIFIED MONDAY
IF THERE IS ANY LAW FOR IT
OLD LADY WILL SIT FOR
JUST ONE DAY
Washington, Nov. 24.—Mrs. W. H.
Felton, appointed ad interim senator,
succeeding the late Senator Thomas
E. Watson, came from her Georgia
home here seeking the distinction of
being the first woman in the United
States to sit in the sienate.
The matter of precedent is the only
thing now to block her ambition as
gallantry of senators of both parties
practically assured her that there
would be no opposition if legal.
Senator-elect George, from Georgia,
is willing to give up his seat for one
day to Mrs. Felton. It is now believ
ed that if no individual senator ob
jects the Georgia woman may have
the' 1 honor next Monday despite the
fact that her commission expired on
the day of the election of George.

Mohammed VI, by his flight, has jjKlfK
rendered the caliphate, according to
Rafet Pasha, Kemalist governor of

told the Associated Press, “when the

Christian territory, he places himself
under Christian protection and there
by loses the caliphate, ceasing to re
tain any authority ovePthe Moslems.”
Mohammed’s.departure on the Brit

of threatened trial for treason by the
Angora government was compared By
Rafet Pasha to the flight of Damad
Ferid Pasha, former grand vizier and
the other “members of the opposition
who by their acts were compromised
in the eyes of the whole Turkish na
tion.”
“Great Britain’s connivance in the
escape,” he added, “is flagrant inter
ference in Turkey’s internal affairs.”
Rafet spent several hours follow

Hoquiam, Wash., Nov. 18.—Two
women were slain by a man who then
killed himself, said the verdict of the
coroner’s jury explaining three deaths
yesterday in a lonely cabin at a point
on the coast twenty-five miles from

John Berg, a logger, said that he

high personages wanted by the Na
tionalists.
The Sultan left his palace by the
back door, known as the Malla gate,
which heretofore has always been
sealed. The British for some time
had been aware of his anxiety and
fear for his personal safety, and were
prepared to remove him when he said
the word. They explained, however,
that the request for safe conduct
must come from him as they could
not be placed in the false position of
having kidnaped him.
They also pointed out that he must
go a reasonable distance from the
palace, as it was inexpedient to in
troduce British guards Into the
groqitds because of the danger of
conflict- with the Kemalist soldiers
there. The Sultan agreed to all of
these conditions.
Only , three persons in the palace
knew of the intended His
wives did not know of the flight.
The escape was so carefully ar

GEORGE H. HOYT, WELL
KNOWN CITIZEN, RUN
DOWN BY AUTOMOBILE
Scores of Brunswick friends will
regret to learn that George H. Hoyt,
well known attache of Osborn’s gro
cery store, was run down and pain
fully injured shortly after 10 o’clock
last night by L. J. Brooks, colored,
who .was arrested by County Chief
Norris and Officer Freeman and
lodged in\ the Glynn county jail.
As soon as the accident occurred
Miller’s ambulance was hurried to the
scene and Mr. Hoyt rushed to his
home on Glynn avenue where medical
attention was quickly summoned.
While the injuries received ar e of a
painful nature, it is not thought that
the result will be serious. On ac
count of Mr. Hoyt’s advanced age it
will, of course, go harder with him
but his many' friends sincerely hope
that he Will soon be out again.
All pedestrain and vehicular traf
fic in the neighborhood of the palace
was then stopped and the place was
surrounded by Nationalist military
and gendarmerie.
Within the palace consternation
reigned among the Sultan’s wives.
At the Selamlik a‘.number of Amer,
icans waited in vain for the Sultan’s
ceremonial progress to the mosque.
The only indication they had of any
thing irregular was the presence of
additional Kemalist soldiers.
Maj. Sherman Miles, American mil
itary attache and the son of Lieut.
Gen. Nelson Miles, was a spectator at
the Selmalik with his wife. He in
quired of the Sultan’s aide as to Mo
hammed’s whereabouts, to which the
aide replied: “He is safe in the palace,
but has a very bad cold and does not
think it is safe to venture out.” It
was apparent from the officer’s sincer
ity thateven he was ignorant of his
chief’s escape.
He inquirde through his chamber
lain regarding the sentiment of the
people of the United States, whom he
held in admiration and esteem, and
begged the correspondents to deny re
ports of his abdication. He also ask
ed the American people not to believe
all the stories of Turkish atrocities.

VERDICT OF GUILTY
IN FARLEY CASE
Formerly Conducted the Clean
er, a Labor Paper in Bruns
wick, Jury Recommends be
Punished For Misdemeanor.
Savannah, Nov. 18.—J. B. Farley,
editor of The Gleaner, a local labor
paper, was convicted of forgery by a
jury in the superior court and his
sentence was fixed at two years in the
penitentiary. The jury agreed at 8:30
o’clock last night and Sheriff Merritt
W. Dixon published the verdict by di-
Yection of the court. The verdict car
ried with it a recommendation that
the defendant be punished as for a
| misdemeanor. Judge Peter W. Mel
' drim will consider the recommenda
j tion and impose sentence Monday
morning.
The feature of the trial was the
statement of the prisoner, who is a
man of unusual intelligence. His man
! ner on the stand was frank and made
S a good impression on the large crowd
; in the court room.
It was charged Farley caused to be
printed and uttered spurious Central,
of Georgia railway pay checks. The
i jury found him not guilty of cashing
ithe checks.
The defendant denied all knowledge
of the forgery and the passing of the
checks. He gave the jury a brief
sketch of his business career and a
number of leading men of the city
testified to his good character.
j The spurious checks were alleged
ito have bene printed in The Gleaner
printing office, which the defendant
stated was the headquarters and
gathering place of various organiza
tions on strike here about the time
the checks were supposed to have
been printed and passed. He said
plans were being made to incorporate
a daily paper at the time, and he had
several men in the office who were
assisting him in getting up subscrip
tions to the stock of the propesed cor
poration, and ordering material for
certain job work one of them had
taken orders for.
He intimated the forgery of the
checks could easily have been accom
plished in the office without his knowl
edge, as he was only there a part of
the time.
A motion for anew trial was filed
in the case today by Edwards & Les
ter and Gignilliat & O’Neal, the at
torneys for the defendant.
Walter C. Hartridge, solicitor gen
eral, represented the state in the case.
Is Well Known Here.
J. B. Farley, referred to in the
above dispatch, was well known here
where he first started the Gleanor, a
weekly publication devoted to labor
news and views. While here he or
ganized many different workres but
nearly all of -these ceased to be im
mediately after he removed to Savan
, nah. As stated in the item, he is a
I man of unusual intelligence and has
an easy and convincing way of ex
pression.

nounced by Senator Capper, republi
can, Kansas, chairman of the senate
farm bloc, in a statement today upon
his return for the opening of con
gress.
“If the republican party is to con
tinue in power,” said Senator Capper,
in commenting on the recent elections,
“it must finish a constructive pro
gram including the following acts:
“Put through the complete rural
program to provide farmers and stock
men with an adequate financial sys

Other items on Senator Capper’s
program were passage of the “Truth

subsidy, in addition to its present bur
den.”
Senator Capper said there was
nothing in the election to induce the
republican party to “alter or com
promise on prohibition.”
