Maxwell Announces That U®
Will Return To America From
London Immediately And
Face Charges.
(By Associated Press.)
New York, May 14.—A woman will
be named as the suspected writer of
the scurrilous letters which George
Maxwell, internationally known mu¬
sic publisher, has been charged with
having written in defamation of Mrs.
Allen A. Ryan, Mrs. Albert R. Galla¬
tin and seven other socially promi¬
nent women in the last ten years, his
friends announced today.
Maxwell’s intimates, rallying to his
defense, declared he had long sus¬
pected a woman of being the author
of the poison-pen missives and said
they expected him to give her name
to the district attorney on his arrival
here. Maxwell announced in London
tViat he will return here immediately
to face the indictment against him.
Officers of the American Society
C omposers and Authors and Publish
ers, of which Maxwell is president,
said it would have been impossible
for Maxwell to write some of the
ters whose authorship he was accus
ed - of, - as - he was so ill ...... at the time they
were mailed that he could not sign
checks of the concern. They declar
ed, too, that Maxwell himself had for
years been the recipient of similar
letters. Several years ago, they
he had gone to Havana, Cuba, with
another man, withou t having first told
his friea*e- his destination. On ar
riving at their hotel in Havana, Max
well’s friends say, he and his com
pansion were handed
letters which had been mailed from
New York. A short time later,
was said, Maxwell went to Miami,
I>la. He met a .. New York society
woman and the two went motoring
for several hours. The story goes
on that on returning to her hotel the
woman found one of the accusative
letters. Maxwell, on returning to his
hotel, .: also was said to have received .
a letter, , couched ...... in similar terms.

j GREAT SWINDLE
FOUNDER OF JONES-MANVILLE
DENIES AND THEN ADMITS
USE OF HIS NAME
New York, stock-selling,schemes May 14.-rfj)etails of a
number of in
which big names and b}V sums fig¬
ured and in which was concerned Mrs.
Myrtle Bowman Hayes, indicted last
week on a charge of having forged
the name of Charles M. Schwab to
a $25,000 note, have been made pub¬
lic by Charles B. Manville, 89j weal¬
thy founder of the Johns-Manville
asbestos concern.
In statement given out yesterday
after first denying any connection
with Mrs. Hayes, the aged financier
told in detail the manner in which he
alleges some of her associates used
his name, without his knowledge, as
president of the Century Consolidat¬
ed Oil Company, rubber-stamping his
signature to literature used in a $ 2 ,
000,000 stock-selling campaign.
“Stung by Slick Crowd.”
He said Mrs. Hayes, Mrs. Cora
Stetson Butler any Walter 3. Clarke
had induced him to invest in several
enterprises. Clarke, Mrs. Butjer, of
New York and Boston; Ernest K.
Phillips, of Kansas City, Mo.; D. L.
Peters, of Los Angeles; Benewitz X.
Dawson and Mark S. Matthews, of
New York, were indicted in April,
last year, charged with having used
the mails to defraud in the sale of
stock of the Consolidated Oil. Mr.
Manville testified before the grand
jury that the promoters had used his
name as president of the concern.
The case is soon to come to trial.
“I was stung,” Mr. Manville said,
“stung by a slick crowd.”
Women in Scheme
Women wearing expensive gowns,
much bejeweled, and living at . the
best _____ ________ hotels, were _____ concerned ___________ in ... vari- ____
0 us schemes which the financier said
he was led into after his meeting with
, Mrs. Hayes.
Clarke ran a New York brokerage
office, he said, and interested him in
the Hobbs Manufacturing Company,
of Worchester, Mass., a concern that
needed financing. Mr. Manviiie
charged that a $25,000 accommoda¬
tion note was given by him to Clarke
on promise that it be returned in
three hours and had been discounted
by Clarke and never repaid.
TRANSACTIONS OF
CHAS.W. MORSE AND
R.M. WILLIAMS TOLD
COUNT HEARD OF BUSINESS RE¬
LATIONS FOR SHIPBUILD¬
ING PLANT AT TAMPA
Washington, May 14—Transactions
between Charles W. Morse and his
company on one hand and R. M. Wil¬
liams Shipbuilding Company, New
York, on the other, occupied the en¬
tire time today at the Morse trial.
Williams told of an unsuccessful
effort to have Morse finance him in
construction work at Tampa, Fla.,
plant for building wooden ships for
the government. Out of the confer¬
ence came an agreement by which
the Williams Company was to furnish
nine million feet of lumber to the
Groton Iron works, a Morse company,
for building six' wooden hulls for the
Emergency Fleet Corporation.

temporary injunction
PROCEEDINGS WILL NOT STOP
WORK ON ST SIMON HIGHWAY
One Brunswickian Seeks to Es¬
j top Most Gigantic Project
Ever Undertaken By Bruns¬
wick or Glynn County.
The temporary injunction proceed
! ings directed against the bridge com
! ■ missioners, Ed L. Stephens and Mal
colm B. McKinnon, by Judge J. I.
! Summerall, at Way cross yesterday,
j I will instituted seriously by Dr. Frank interfere B. Atninson with
not op¬
erations on the St. Simon Highway,
which are to begin on Wednesday,
near Lanier’s ucimcx » Oak.
The legal proceedings were regard-!
ed yesterday by authorities as unfor¬
tunate and an illadvised movement ;
by the alleged injured party. The I
story is not a new one in Brunswick :
and its recital is hardly necessary, in i
view of the fact that it has been pub¬
lished recently. The outstanding fea¬
ture of the case, as it has just devel¬
oped, is that Dr. Frank Atkinson,
with the assistance of his lawyer
brother, Dave, of Savannah, is play-S
ing a lone hand in the proceedings. |
Recently a number of property;
owners on Glynn avenue, in the vi-;
i einity of Lanier’s Oak, appeared be
i fore the city commissioners and
j stated that in t)hei/r opinion their
property would be injured by moving
the present roadway further away
from its present location—the sur¬
vey calling for a straight roadway
that would eliminate the reverse
curves that are now a menace on the
presenthighway. As is generally
derstood, this would necessitate leav
ing the present property some dis
tance away from the road as it
now constructed. And that is where
i the protest comes in.
I In their statement to the city com
missioners, which tribunal, after
has the. matter of straightening the
Glynn avenue roadway, other prop
erty owners, than the chief
‘were assured that the roadway
to be constructed by the city—exclu
sively—and not by the St. Simon
highway commissioners. They were
satisfied that the completion of the
causeway and bridges to the island
was paramount to the cost of the
f««„.
Dr. Frank Atkinson,
morning motored to Wayeross, where
he was met by his brother, Attorney
Dave Atkinson, of Savannah, armed'
with which a Judge temporary Summerall restraining signed, order,j call-;
ing for a hearing on Saturday.
It was. stated yesterday by proper
ty owners on Glynn avenue, contigu¬
ous to that of Dr. F. B. Atkinson, j
that they were not directly, or indi- j
rectly, "“V, involved ” in the proceedings in
stituted at Wayeross yesterday by,
tlie movant. In fact they stated to,
The News that they regretted
the long looked for occasion—the be
ginning of work on the St. Simon !
f. highway , —han , , taken , , this 4 . 1-1 lamentable
‘
Tast night, however, a spirit of op- j
timism pervaded the city. The real, j
five progressive element were more
inclined to regard the injunction mat- j
ter with a degree of levity than of
seriousness. This much is known j
and has been stated—the present j
movant is alone in his legal proceed- | j
ings. The other property owners are
willing to make any sacrifice to make ;
the St. Simon Highway a reality.
In the meantime the bridge corn
missioners and the various commit- i
tees of the Board of Trade and u the
! Young Men’s Club are going ahead
with their arrangements for execu¬
tion -of the program as originally .ar¬
ranged. There are many legal phases
that have not been brought to the
surface by attorneys who are await¬
ing the verbiage of the injunction pro¬
ceedings filed in Wayeross yester¬
day.
It was a matter of general com¬
ment yesterday on the streets that
Dr. Atkinson, who is the sole movant
in the injunction, could not enlist the
services of a local attorney to file
the injunction, and was forced to
appeal to his brother, in Eavannah to
assist him in the legal proceedings
— which un to the present time have
not had the effect of disturbing the
program as originally arranged.
