DORSEY GRANTS A
HEARING TO COOPER

Atlanta, Ga, March 12.-Atlanta
friends of L. ]. Cooper, president of
the First National Bank of Way
cross, and formerly a member of the
house of representatives from Ware
county, confidently expect that he
will not be embarrassed by the war
rants sworn out against him in Chi
cago, alleging that he bought $780,
600 worth of real estate in that city
and paid for it with worthless bonds.
On the basis of two criminal war
rants sworn out against him by ST.
mon and Emma Hamburg, of Chica-
go, the parties who sold him the
land, requisition has been issued
for him by the governor of Illinois,
and the arresting officer has arrived
in Atlanta with the papers.
Before honoring the requisition
Governor Dorsey has granted Mr.
Cooper's request for hearing, and
the matter will be argued before the
governor on March 10. Mr. Cooper
will be represented by several prom
inent Waycross lawyers, and it is
understood that Simon Hamburg will
be here from Chicago with lawyer.
The warrants charge that Mr..
Cooper, in July, 1917, purchased the
real estate and paid for it with bonds
which he claimed were secured by
lands in South Georgia owned in fee
simple by the Atlantic Investment
Company, for which he was authoriz-
ed to act as agent, but on investiga-
ton they found that the bonds were
not so secured. In telegram yester-
day to an Atlanta newspaper, Mr..
Cooper declared that the warrants
were issued for the purpose of extort-
ing money from him.

The announcement that funds were needed for Tom CampbelIs campaign brought surprisingly prompt response from many quarters.

 From Stanton a letter was receiv- ed that said: You will find enclosed check for g, l wish | could do more"
 Enclosed find check for $ to elect Tom Campbell again was in letter from Jerome Junction.

 Locally and from outside towns many subscriptions have been receiv- ed and the managers of the Republi- can Registration Committee feel con fident that they will be able to fi- nance the Campbell campaign because of the interest of the individual citi- zens who realize that Tom Campbell represents all that their prosperity IS based upon.
 The work of the registration com- mittee is very wide. They are CO., operating with the Republican State committee. The friends Of Campbell learned fast year that hundreds of citizens failed to register and could not vote. In almost every instance, the people who put off registering un- til it was too late, were folks who would have voted for Tom Camp bell. Every effort will be used this year to insure that every possible voter. Democratic as well as Republi= can. is registered and there will be somebody in every precinct to look after that section and these folks will be advised as to who have registered and who have failed to register. The funds of the committee will also be used for the usual expenses of the campaign.

at a Meeting of the Di-
rectOrs Last Night.

The board of directors of the I'm
perial Valley Red Cross met as usual
last night with a full membership
present. The chapter treasurer, Har-
ry Maddux, was also in attendance
and gave brief report on the finan-
ces of The organization, which

thai the intensive campaign to be un-
deraken by the Elks for the collec-
lion of unpaid pledges will start al
once.
A. H. Griswold of the Production
Department gave detailed report
dealing principally with the quotas
and The possibility of completin5
same under present conditions. L
was the concepsus of opinion that The
chapter ask for no reduction, but jusl
do The best possible toward reaching
the allotment. In every instance The
women of Ell Centro have risen to
The requirement and it is believed
that when the epidemic subsidies nc
difficulty will be found in securing
workers 10 carry on. In the mean
time, The workers are urged 10 take
home garments for the making SO
that the garment quota may be dis
posed of and all hands be available
to work on The surgical supplies
when The epidemic subsidies.
The rooms are comfortable and
sanitary and those who are able to
do so are requested to come to head
quarters upon The days set apart fo-
surgical dressings. The need fol-
these supplies is ever present and
will be for some time to come
though fishing should cease very
soon.
The board of directors will offer
The services of the chapter TO the
city and county boards of health, and
will assist in carrying cut any plan
determined upon for the care and
control of The influenza epidemic. 1t
is hoped that number of women
of the community may enroll for
nursing service. They will of course
be compensated for their work and
will also be rendering an heroic
service 10 humanity. 1t is for these
things that the Red Cross exists.
