MRS. BREWERS GUEST,
SAYS ADELE BLOOD
SAW GOVERNOR ONLY ONCE
WHILE AT EXECUTIVE MAN.
SION ON WIFE's INVITATION.

New York, July 24.-Adele Blood,
the actress, who is suing Edward
Davis, her actor husband, for divorce.
has, through Paris S. Russell, her at
torney, requested the New York World
to state that she never saw Governor
Earl Brewer, of Mississippi, but once,
and then only on the invitation of the
Governors wife at the Executive
Mansion in Jackson, Miss. Her state.
ment is corroborated by a despatch
sent out from Jackson at the request
of Gov. Brewer.
Gov. Brewers name was brought
into the record of the Davis divorce
proceedings because of the fact that
Ira Sample, a private detective who
figured in the case, had formally been
associated in a confidential capacity
with Gov. Brewer and happened to be
stopping at the Executive Mansion
when the actress was there as a guest
of the Governors wife. 1t was SAMPLE
who later helped collect the evidence
upon which Miss Blood is suing for
divorce.
Miss Blood has turned over to At.
torney Russell a letter addressed to
her and signed William A. Page. in
which the writer claims he supplied
most of the facts" for an article con.
cerning Miss Blood, published in The
New York World of July 10. This
claim is not founded in fact. Page
did, however, state to World reporter,
as published on July IA, that he had
made claim against Miss Blood for
a one-third interest in her theatrical
company. Attorney Russell says that
Miss Blood at the time the claim was
made denied any such interest and
invited Page to proceed with an &C.
tion, which he has failed to do.

ART OUTDONE
BY BATHING SUITS
Darius Cobb, Artist, Defends Boston
Art Museum Collection.

Botson, July 24.-Darius Cobb, the
aged Boston artist, believes that bath
ing or lifted skirts at muddy crossings
are more suggestive than nude art in
the Boston Art Museum. Replying to
the charge of the Massachusetts Civic
Alliance that nude art at the museum
makes it improper for school children
to go there, he declares:
"The purest men in the world have
given up paintings and statues entirely
nude, and l find the purest men and
women in the world approve them.
Il have several sons and daughters
living. and in no case have 1 admon-
ished them when they visited the
museum. think bathing suits are far
more suggestive, or lifted skirt at a
muddy crossing"

ALLEGED THAT HE FAILED TO
TURN In MONEY COLLECTED
Preliminary Hearing Arranged For
Judge Greer's Court-Came Here at
First Year and Opened Piano store
On Main street-cIosed up Two
Weeks Ago, Leaving Many Creditors.

julius s. Moody has been arrested
on an affidavit from H. c. Greer's
court charging him with embezzle.
men and the misappropriation of funds.
The arrest was made by B. o. Doher.
ty, deputy for Judge Greer and Mr..
Moody has made an appearance bond
for $4,000 to insure his attendance at
the preliminary hearing, which will
probably be held tomorrow.
The specific charge in the affidavit
is that Mr.. Moody collected $4S7.2O
belonging to the Weaver Organ G.
Piano Co. of York, Penn, which "he
did embezzle and convert to his own
use." 1t is charged further that when
the money was legally demanded of
him he refused to turn it over to the
rightful owner.
Mr.. Moody came to Hattiesburg at
the first of the year and opened q
piano and organ store on Main street,
About two weeks ago the store was
closed and Mr.. Moody left the city
owing number of creditors.
Agents from the Pennsylvania com.
pany and from New Orleans Piano
houses have been here trying to pro-
tect their companies.
The affidavit followed Mr.. Moody's
return to the city.
Mr.. Moody came here from Pearl
River county, where his father is the
sheriff. ..---..
The local creditors are protecte, it
is said, On account of the fact that he
operated the store under his own name
and not under the name of the COM
panies he represented as an agent.
The law holds that the stock in the
store is liable to meet the claims of
his creditors, although the stock NAV
belong to outside corporations.
Mr.. Moody is represented by Tally
& Mayson and the prosecution will be
represented by Claude Hill, county
attorney. The hearing has been set
and unless postponed will begin tomor-
row.

FINAL EFFORT MADE
TO CONFIRM WARBURG
WILL WITHDRAW HIS NAME ALSO
IF SENATE REMAINS
OBDURATE.
(By Associated PreSs.)

Washington, July 24.-The Presi

to1smooth out the differences between
the Senate and Paul Warburg, his
nominee for Federal Reserve Board
If he finds this impossible he will
withdraw his name as he did that of
Thomas Jones, the fight over whose
confirmation caused one of the most
bitter controversies of the administra.

President that Warburg could be con-
firmed If he would appear before the
Banking committee, which so far he
has refused to do.

with heart engraved upon 1t in front
of his home.
