Chattanooga, Tenn, Oct. 2O.--With
James Oliver. aged 20. in jail, posses
today still were securing the vicinity
of Ooltawah, James county. for Ed
Martin. his alleged companion and ac-
complice in the killing Of Deputy Sher-
iff Mcintosh, and the robbery of many
travellers on the Dixie Highway Sat-
urday.
The two discharged soldiers. barri-
caded the highway near Ooltawah ear
ly Saturday. holding up all travellers
who approached and finally capturing
and holding four hours several citizens
who came to investigate the killing OF
Deputy Mcintosh. who was shot by
one OF the boys whom he attempted to
arrest. Oliver was wounded in an ex-
change Of shots with posseman and
was only captured when he feared he
was bleeding to death.
Citizens who held the man were
forced to take him to Ooltawah for
medical attention. His companion es-
capped. Oliver was threatened with
lynching but citizens resisted when he
promised to give the name OF his COM
panion- Deputy Mcintosh died In full
view of persons attracted to the spot
Attempts to reach him with aid were
repulsed at the point of pistols. Six
men and woman were huddled along
the roadside covered by pistol while

title, bat he got his baronet's crown.
The true cause of William Waldorf
Astor's departing for foreign soil has
never been established. Some say 1t
was because he was defeated in
political campaign. Others credit mere
petty motives. There were also re-
ports at the time that the move was
made at the instance Of Mrs. Astor,
who was a beautiful heiress Of Phila-
delphia, Mamie Paul.
HIS own reason, as quoted IN the
newspapers of the time, was America
was no country for a bred in the bone
gentleman to live in"
One Of the most unpleasant things
he ever did. and the only thing on
which Americans ever really had a
basis for resentment. was the pre-
sensation of the Chesapeake's Ameri-
can flag to the British museum. THIS
flag. was captured by the English ship
Shannon in the war of 1912. Mr.. Astor
bought it from a private family IN
England for 5000 and gave 1t to the
English institution.
It was about 1890 that Mr.. Astor
began his notorious campaigning for
title, which was not won until 1915.

Washington. Oct. 20.-President VIII
son had a very good night and has
, recovered from the attack OF indiges-
tion which he had yesterday. said Sec
retary. Tumulty today.
The presidents digestive disturbance
has subsidized almost completely and he
was comfortable today after fairly good
night, his physicians announced.
Secrecy Imposed by Whom.
There has been no modification OF
! the rule of secrecy concerning the true
| character Of the presidents ailment.
Whether 1t is a cerebral lesion" as
Senator Moses averred, or Only nervous
exhaustion. this Is information. In the
view of the White House, to which the
public is not entitled.
| 1t is asserted. however. that neither
DR.. Grayson nor the consulting physi-
clans are responsible for the mystery
with which the executives illness has
been surrounded.
Secrecy is said to have been imposed
upon the physicians by higher au-
thority. Whether this higher authority
is the president or Secretary Tumulty
is not clear, tho it is known that the
course being pursued has the sanction
Of the latter.
That the condition OF the president is
still exceedingly grave Is indicated by
a change In the attitude OF DR.. Gray
son on the question Of the signing Of
bills by the executive.
A few days ago the physician said
thatsthe president would be able tc
tsign legislation. Now, however, DR.
Grayson throws out the hint that bills
for the time being will be allowed tc
become laws by expiration of the con.
stitutional ten DAYS time limit.
| Delay Calling MarshaII.
DR.. Grayson's hint Of the inability
of the president to sign legislation has
brought to the fore again the question
Of the possible necessity eventually OF
calling upon vice-Prdsident Marshall
to assume the executive Office until Mr.
Wilson is again capable Of dischargins
his duties.
There is on all sides. however. re-
Iluctance to take any step in this direc'
tion without the express direction Of
the president.
The whole question Of the procedure
Of installing the vice president. and OF
his tenure when once acting as the ex-
ecutive, is involved in such doubt thai
officials upon whom responsibility de-
wolves are loath to approach it.
Constitution Is Not cIear.
The constitution Is not clear on these
points, altho Hamilton's interpre'
itation was that the vice-presiden
should discharge the executive duties
as does lieutenant governor when thu
executive Is absent or incapacitated
Congress never has attempted to elu'
cidate the question. and many consti'
|tutional authorities, doubt that 1t Is
within the province Of congress tt
make provision for the contingency.

Beet Sugar Refners Told
They Can Not Charge
Over 10 Cents.
HAVE BEEN HOLDING
FOR AN ADVANCE
General Palmer and Price
Equalization Board Take Steps to
Force Hoarded Supplies Upon
Market-vioIatien Of Price Rule to
Be Punished by Criminal Prose
eution-Retail Price May Advance.

Washington, Oct. 20.-Steps to pre-
vent an abnormal increase in the price
Of sugar were taken today by the. de-
partment' Of justice. Attorney General
Palmer notified the retlners who have
been withholding their products until
the price situation became more sta
bilized that the equalization board had
decided that 10 cents a pound was
fair price for wholesalers and that any
price in excess of that ahount would
be violation of the food control act.
Refners were asked to telegraph
their concurrence in this price. which
would mean that they would put their
supply on the market Immediately.
The price to the wholesalers hereto
fore was cents, so that the new price
means an increase Of cent pound.
Retailers have been allowed to- charge
II cents a pound under the old prices.
While the department OF Justice ana
the sugar board did not say what the
new retail price would be. 1T was said
that tfles advance was not to be more
than the wholesale advance.
Palmer Sends Notice:
Attorney General Palmer made pub
lie the following telegram:
after thorough Investigation by
authorities on sugar the equalization
board has notified the department OF
Justice Of the following facts:
"As considerable part OF the
country generally supplied at this time
OF the year with beet sugar may Do
embarrassed because Of the failure OF
the sugar factories to sell sugar as
produced, and a. this condition Is due
to uncertainty regarding price, our
Judgment is that no higher price than
10 cents q pound IL justified and we
hope that you win begin to release
your sugar at once at this price. The
price Of 10h (. o. b. for sugar which
has been offered by the equalization
board up to $4,000 tons for November :
and December shipments to relieve an
acute shortage among the manu1ac-
turers In the east Is not to be cons1o-
cred as a basis for local price. /.
IT ask you to make your prices based
on the above. The department OF JUS
tice will treat as unjust any price
above this amount and violation OF
section four Of the Lever food controi
act as amended. Please wire your
concurrence in the above"
