COCOA COLA KING" MAYOR !
CHARGES MAN AND WOMAN UNDER
INDICTMENT TRIED BADGER GAME
Special stan Dispatch

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 23.-Asa G. Cand
ler, Atlanta's multi millionaire mayor
known throughout the country as thu
Coca Cola King" is the center OF a
sensational case that has aroused
greater interest in the south than
anything since Leo Frank was lynch
ed.
The mayor charges that he is the
victim of plot to extort from him
part of the riches he has accumulated
since he discovered, when q poor drug
clerk, the formula for the soft drink
that made him wealthy and gave him
the name Coca Cola King"
It is the sixth attempt, since he
became wealthy to extort money from
him, Gambler charges. On other &C.
casions he was threatened with death
or injury
Once a boy in his Sunday school
class wrote him black-hand letter,
threatening to dynamite his house un-
less Gambler left a sum of money und-
er the church steps. The boy was ar
rested and confessed. Gambler then
dropped the case and set the youth
up in business. st
In this case, no threat of violence is
charged. Gambler claims the other
two principals, one a woman, tried to
work the badger game"
+ The woman, Mrs. Herman H. Hirsch
is the wife of prominent insurance
man and is a leader in Red Cross
work, charity balls and other social
and civic activities. She met the may
or through these affairs last summer.
The other principal, James w. Cook,
is real estate operator, a handsome.
aashy dresser. known as follower of
the races. '
Attorneys for Gambler declare that
Cook urged Mrs. Hirsch to press her
friendship with the millionaire to the
point where she could arrange com.
promising situation, when Cook would
burst in the door, accuse them and
after that-well Asa C. Gambler is
said to worth cool $75,O00,O00!

TOOK IN MUCH TERRITORY

Washington, Feb. 23-Director Cen
eral McAdoo yesterday gave assur.
ance that 80 far as transportation is
concerned, there is no danger of sui
fering from a serious food shortage in
the eastern part of the country"
This was prompted by the warning
given last night by Food Administra.
tor Hoover that unless grain and meat
movement Is greatly increased in the
next go days, the country is threat.
ened with an acute shortage OF food,
and the program Of food shipments to
the allies will fail. In letter to Mr..
Hoover, the director general declared
that if the food administrator will
give definite information on the loca.
ton of stocks of supplies intended for
the allies, the railroads will move
them promptly to sea board. Simulta.
neously the railroad administration
gave out figures showing that the
movement of grain to primary mar
kets in the west within the last ten
days was far greater than in previous
years.
Hoove; "Wide TaIker"
Although declaring their desire to
avoid controversy with the food adj
ministration, officials of the railroad
directorate today did not conceal their
belief that Mr.. Hoover's statement
was not borne out by facts shown in
their reports. Members Of Mr.. Nc.

Mr.. Hoover had dealt in generalties,
not supported by figures or other evi.

only by loading 100000 bushels OF
grain a day for the next go days, ex.
planned that already 100000 bush
els of grain are being loaded daily and
even better loading is in prospect
Unofficially it was declared that prac
tically all the grain being offered by
farmers and local elevators was be
ing hauled by the railroads under
general priority orders for foodstuffs
particularly for grain in the west. It
was suggested that farmers might not
be bringing their grain to market as
fast as they should. Railroad officials
also called attention to the fact that
potato growers last fall held much OF
their crop for higher prices, and that
condition is partly responsible for the
extraordinary offering at this time OF
potatoes which the railroads are hav.
ing some difficulty moving.

DROP PROSECUTION
OF RUPPEL HAZERS
Federal Officer Joins In Investi.
gatiOn-Farmer Moves
Back On Farm.

No prosecution of the men who
were reported to have taken part in
the hazing to which George Ruppel,
of Lemon, was subjected several
weeks ago, will be brought Prescott
ing Attorney Caruthers announced
yesterday following another investi-
cation.
1t is said that those who brought
the matter before the Prosecuting
Attorney two weeks ago have an
nounced that they are willing to drop
the matter.
Several days ago Prosecuting At
torney Caruthers, Sheriff Hutson and
Deputy United States Marshal,
whose attention had been called to
the matter, went to Pocahontas in
quiring into the charges brought in
connection with the hazing of Rup-
pei. Several of those who were said
to have led the attack on Ruppel were
questioned by the officers as were the
men who brought the complaint.
In view of the fact that the COM
plainants were willing to drop the
matter, the Prosecuting Attorney said
yesterday he believed it unnecessary
to pursue the matter any longer and
had decided to drop the case entirely.
Ruppel was advised to move back
on his farm and was given the as
surance that he would not again be
moiested by his neighbors, or any
one of the men who took him to task
for remarks he was alleged to have
made against the Red Cross.
Few people living in that section
of the county doubt that he made dis
loyal statements. 1t is also said that
others have made Objectionable state !
