LET THE FACTS BE RECORDED.

The morning Register and Evening
Tribune have not stated the facts cor
rectly in regard to the dismissal OF
Freida Hempel The morning paper
says: Miss Hempel withdrew volun-
tarily shortly before the governor. act
ing on numerous protests received at
his office, issued an order forbidding
the concert" The truth is that thirty
minutes after the case was laid before
Governor Harding be notified Frieda
Hempel and her agent that the con-
cert would be forbidden and pre-
vented, suggesting that they could
withdraw gracefully and the inference
was that if they did not they would
be put out, which the governor really
meant On receipt of this information
Miss Frieda Hempel and her agent,
attorney and fance beat hasty re-
treat and surrendered. This is the
whole story. The credit belongs to Gov
ernor Harding. He assumed the power
under his military authority and acted
with quick and military decision.
In defending this German alien the
Tribune last evening said that Miss
Hempel had taken out her first papers
This is not true. Miss Hempel has not

showing Of royal courage. How won
derftfl that q man who thinks he is in
partnership with God dares to venture

In parts of southern Georgia and Ala
bama, the South tonight was in the
grip of it's worst storm of the winter.
Only spasmodic wire communication
WAS possible with the larger cities and
from them came reports that outlying
districts where the storms fury ap-
barently was greatest, were completely
tut off
Camp Wheeler, near Macon, Ga, where
tieorgia, Alabama. and Florida National
Euardsmen are training, was struck by
! tornado late in the day. Meagre re-
borts that came through said one man
had been killed and the corral of the
l12th infantry wrecked. This infor-
nation was brought to Macon by a taxi
fab driver. who left camp while the
Btorm was raging.
The same blow struck the State fair
Grounds where circus was wintering
hnd animals there were reported on a
rampage.
Montgomery, Ala, reported that railway
officials there has been advised that seven
persons were killed and % injured by a
tornado which virtually wrecked the lit
tle town of Cowarts, Ala.
High winds prevailed throughout the
South, reports to the weather bureau
here said, and a cold wave had over
spread virtually all of that section with
fhe thermometer down to freezing at Pen
Bacola, Fla, where temperature Of Is
hbove zero was forecast before morning.
! Coal shortages in Alabama, Georgia

FOR LOCAL BOARDS
iOv. Graham Publishes Gen. CrOwder's
Ruling ON Compensation.

"
Ruling ON Compensation.
Montpelier, Jan. Ex-Governor Graham
to-day released telegram which he re-
ceived from Provost Marshal General
Crowder fixing the compensation Of the
members of the local boards working
under the selective draft law at 80 cents
for each registrant finally classified.
The regulation fixes that: Money due
for said work shall be paid in proper
tionate amounts to each member Of a
local board claiming compensation for his
service. unless 1t shall be requested by
the unanimous vote Of the local board that
the money should be paid In some other
proportion. In such cases no one member
shall receive more than fifteen cents Of
the allowance OF thirty cants for each clas-
sification and no two members shall re-
ceive more than twenty-five cents for
each classification to be distributed be-
tween them. There may be cases where
all members Of a local board desire COM
pensation. but whore certain members may
have performed more work than others
who have been unable to give the neces-
sary time. In such cases the local board
may, by unanimous vote recorded on Its
minutes, make proper division of its COM
pensation.
There will be other cases where men,
bers of local boards will do their share
of the work and who desire to give their
service to their government without
charge. In such cases the amount to be
paid to the members otherwise shown by
the minutes. The purpose of the provision
Is to protect the government for the val
ue OF gratuitous service thus rendered by
members Of local boards who do not claim
compensation"
