NUT GROWERSOF
SOUTH ATTENDING
ALBANY MEETING

ALBANY, Ga, Oct. 16.-Nut grow
ers from all over the south, and many
from other sections of the country,
are in attendance at the annual con-
Vention of the National Nut Growers
association which opened a three
day convention here Wednesday.
1t was planned originally for the
Northern Nut Growers association
to hold it's annual convention jointly
with the Southern Nut Growers or
ganization, but this plan was
changed. The joint convention was
to have been held here last year,
but was called off on account of in
fluenza conditions. This year it was
deemed best by the northern grow
ers to hold a meeting of their own,
so much time having elapsed since
their last convention. Many repre-
sentativeS of the northern growers
are here for the convention, however.
Several hundred visitors will be
here during the convention and elab-
crate preparations have been made
for entertaining them. In addition
to the nut growers who will attend
the convention, there will be numer-
ing the national government. These
will include, besides experts from
the department of culture, such men
as United States Senators Duncan ..
Fletcher, of Florida; James E. Rams
dell, of Louisiana, and j. E. Watson,
Of Indiana

Army Is Ready to
Crush Disorder In
Nation, Says Baker

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. 16.-The
whole army is prepared to crush dis
order in the United States, Newton
D. Baker, secretary of war, told the
convention of Ohio Federation Of
Womans Clubs here last night.
Baker said the aid of troops had
been pledged to every community at
the first outbreak of civil disorder.
Governors of all states have been
assured that it is not necessary to
go through the formality of apply
ing to washington for aid, Baker
said. All department commanders
have been notified to reply instantly
with troops to all requests for as
sistance, he said.
THE army is on the side Of order
as against disorder" Baker told the
women.
Baker avoided any mention Of
President Wilson's condition; also the
Shantung controversy, and the near
est approach he made to the League
Of Nations was in his peroration
when he said when this world,
drawn so much closer together than
the world ever was before, will in
fact be a world filled with cooper
ating nations, with harmonious in
ternational relations among them,
and processes no longer of balance
of power. but focusing arrange
ment established by which the op1n>
ion of mankind can be brought to
bear upon every international dispute
and justice made to reign among
nations.

.REPORTEDNORMAL

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Pres-
idnet Wilson, relieved from the
glandular swelling from which he
suffered for two days, had good
nights rest last night, said the bull
letin issued at 11:55 a. m. today by
his physicians. The bulletin fol-
lows:
"The discomfort which the Pres
ident suffered for two days has
been relieved to a very great extent.
He had a good night. His tempera-
ture, pulse, respiration and kidney

The statement was signed by Doc
tors Grayson, Ruffin and Stitt. DR..
Grayson said DR.. A. J. Fowler,
Washington physician, called in to
treat the president for a gland swell
ing, would visit the White House
again today.
1t has not yet been determined
whether the president will be able
to see the king and queen, of the
Belgians, when they visit Washing
ton, it was stated at the White
House.
Last night the doctor was able tc
report that a rather persistent head
ache that had bothered the presi-
dent, had disappeared.
During the day also the president
was able to demon strate his remem-
brance of Mrs. Wilson's birthday. anG
presented her with a gift which he
had a member of the White House
staff p, ;hase several days ago.

BOLSHEVIK FORCES
FACING DISASTER
ON FOUR FRONTS

LONDON, Oct. 16.-Forced back by
the onslaughts Of enemies on four
fronts, the armies Of the soviet gov
eminent of Russia appear to be fac
ing period pregnant with disaster
General Denikines Cossacks from
the south, Polish forces from the
west, northwestern Russian legions on
the northwest and northern Russian
! troops from the north, have during
the last few days forged ahead until
it seems the Bolshevik armies are
between the upper and neither mill
stones.
Petrograd is doomed to capture, in
| the opinion Of observers, General
Yudenitch being at Gatchina, only
twenty-five miles south of the former
| Russian capital. In the extreme
north, the northern Russian army has
| broken the resistance of the Boil
sheviki, according to reports, and
are pursuing them toward Omega, a
village about $50 miles west of
| Archangel. Further to the south it
has forced it's way far along the
Dvina river. Polish forces have cap
tured Kovno, on the extreme north
ern end of their line. Denikine's men
have. driven a giant wedge into CEN
trail Russia as far as Orel, and are
thought to be on their way toward
lula, an important railway center
| that is considered the key to Moscow
East of the Urals is Admiral Kol-
chak's army. It is seemingly too
far away to enter into consideration
as vital factor in the situation
which is developing in Russia proper
Generals Denikine and Yudenitch and
Admiral Kolchak are said to be ope-
rating in close coordination.
West of General Denikine's army
are forces of Ukrainians, who while
supposed to be hostile to the Boil
shviki, have declared war on Deni-
kline because of alleged atrocities per-
petrated by the latter's soldiers on
their advance toward Moscow. Re
ports have been received, however,
that part of the Ukrainian army has
joined Denikine, having been assured
the latter will wrest eastern Galicia
and the province of Chelm from Po-
| land.
Advices from Russia state Colonel
acknowledgements, whose sudden at
tack on Riga last week caused a sem
sation, has declared he began his
campaign only for the purpose of
securing the Duna river front
against Moscow"
This front is between the sectors
held by General Yudenitch and the
Polish army. So far as known, fight
ing is still in progress in Riga, but
the exact situation there is not
known. Germano-Russian troops I'M
der command Of Colonel Avaloff-
Bermondt, however, seem to have
gained ground north of Riga, having
captured the town of Dunamunde,
according to report.

Turns Night Into Day
New Lamp Has No wick, No Chin
ney, No odor. Most Brilliant
Light Known.

A new lamp which experts agree
gives the most powerful home light
in the world, is the latest achieve
ment of w. H. Hoffstot, 407 Factory
Bldg, Kansas City, Mo. This re-
markabIe new lamp beats gas or cleo
tricity-gives more light than three
hundred candles, eighteen ordinary
lamps or ten brilliant electric lights,
and costs only one cent night, a
blessing to every home on farm or
in small town. 1t is absolutely safe
and gives universal satisfaction. A
child can carry it. 1t is the ambi-
ton of Mr.. Hoffstot to have every
home, store, hall or church enjoy
the increased comfort Of this pow
erful, pleasing, brilliant, white light
and we will send one of his new
lamps on free trial to any reader of

READY FOR
CONFERENCE ON
MINERS STRIKE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Deter-
mined to prevent the threatened coal
strike by bringing about an agree
ment between the miners and opera
tors, Secretary of Labor Wilson to-
day prepared a plan Of settlement for
submission to the representatives of
both sides in the dispute when they
meet herr tomorrow.
John i. Lewis acting president of
the United Mine Workers of Amer
lea. is on his way to Washington,
and is expected here late this after
noon. He has just called a strike
of approximately 100000 coal miners
for November 1. The labor secre-
tary, NJ Lewis and Thomas T.
Brewster, president of the Coal
Operators association, will confer
Friday iE an effort to reach a basis
Of settlement.
Industries throughout the United
States will be paraIyzed a month
after the coal strike goes into effect
November 1, government experts
estimated today
Most of the country will feel the
strike seriously long before a month
expires, it was said even in case of
good weather. With cold weather,
two weeks was given as the minimum
before the public feels the strike.
Railroad reserve coal is variously
estimated. Figures submitted to the
senate recently show a ten days
supply on hand. Other figures, also
given to the senate, show a months
supply in reserve. The latter figures
show 12,500,00O tons on hand and an
average yearly consumption of $780,
000,00 tons.

LEGION ENDORSES
LEAGUE Of NATIONS
BY VOTE Of a To 10
Resolution to Investigate
Federal Board in This Sec
ton and at Washington
and Others Adopted

The state convention Of the Amer
| lean Legion in session at the Hote
! Ansley Thursday morning Endorsed
| the covenant of the League Of M
tions unqualifedly by vote Of 81
to 13.
| The passage of the resolution was
assured on the vote on motion tc
table, which was lost by the vote
Of "a to IA in passing the resolu-
ton the convention adopted the ma
jority report of the resolutions COM
mittee and adversed the minority re-
| port.
The announcement of the vote by
State Secretary G. Baxter Jones, of
Macon, was cheered to the echo, the
demonstration lasting for some time,
Debate on the question was not
| long or as heated as was expected
as the convention voted a threemin-
ute limit on all speeches. Speak
ing for the resolution were j. B.
Conyers, Of Gainesville, who declar-
ed that the United States would not
had a right to withdraw if it saw
fit, and argued that the league
should be given a fair trial.
"It is step in the right direc-
tion," he said.
= Landon A Thomas, of Augusta,
commander of the Louis L. Battey
post, who submitted a minority re-
port as a member of the resolu-
lions committee, recommending that
the resolutions be passed with reser-
vations, spoke against the original
resolution. He said that the SOW
ereignty Of the United States should
be preserved by reservation, and that
the covenant would be more effective
with reservations than without them.
Roy Dorsey, chairman of the gen
eral convention committee, who in
troduced the resolution, declared
that it was up to the people of the
United States to express themselves
on all great policies. He described
the covenant as the most humane
and divine document the world has
ever known, and declared that the
argument presented against the
League of Nations was camouflage
and worthless.
The convention was prolonged and
forced to hold an afternoon session
when an amendment the consti-
tuition regarding the number of votes
was brought up. The matter will
be disposed of Thursday afternoon
as will the election of officers and
the naming of delegates to the ma
tional convention.
The convention also passed 7eso-
lutions urging that November II, EAR
mistice day." be made a national
holiday, and resolution by Mr.
Thomas indorsing universal military
training for the United States.
A resolution to investigate the
methods of the federal bard for vo-
cationa1 training, especially as to
wounded men, was passed. The reso-
luton recommended that the sum
paid these men be made adequate, if
found inadequate after the investiga-
ton. The resolution also provided
for the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the work of the
vocational board in this section.
Other resolutions passed were to
allow each state to settle the ques-
ton as to negro membership in the
legion; resolution instructing dele
gates as to how to vote in the ma
tionaI convention. This means that
the Georgia delegation will vote for
the League of Nations covenant if
1t comes up in the natioanI conven.

NIGHT SESSIONS Of
SENATE ON TREATY
ARE ASKED BY HALE
Three Republicans Speak in
Opposition to Textuai
Changes but Say They Will
Vote for Reservations

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-Demand
that the senate hold night sessions
to speed up action on the peace treaty
was made by Senator Hale, of Maine,
Republican, in a speech today.
"The country wants action and
wants 1t now" he declared.
'I think that everybody in the sem
ate and in the country is sick and
tired Of the whole debate. All OF
US know exactly how we are going
to vote. If we really want to dis
pose of this treaty the way to do it
is to hold night sessions and force
the matter to conclusion. I be-
lieve the time has come when we
can and should take action"
Senator Hale expressed warm dis
approval both Of the Shantung pro-
vision and of the voting arrangement
in the League of Nations but declared
he will oppose the Shantung and the
Johnson amendments. He will sup
port reservations covering them.
Senator Kellogg, Minnesota, speak
ing against the Shantung amend
ment, held that our ''hands-off" plo-
icy in Shantung for twenty years
during Germany's possession Of 1t
should be continued. He favored
reservations Withholding Americas
approval of Japan's course.
1--WE cannot assume the full bur-
den of Far Eastern adjustment"
hes aid.
at regret that so many hard things
have been said of Japan at time
when we are seeking to compose
the affairs of the world" said Sem
ator Townsend, Michigan. The
treaty is the best that can be ex-
pected at present, he concluded, and
it will not bear such drastic changes
as the Shantung amendment. Sen
ator Townsend would be satisfied
with reservations, but unless they
clearly state Americas position on
the Shantung transfer he will vote
against the treaty.
An attack on the Shantung amend
ment by Senator Sterling, South Da-
kota, was based upon the senator's
supposition that the treaty was now
an accomplished fact, until Senator
Lodge corrected him by reading a
newspaper report that ratification by
the chief allied powers had been
postponed. He continued to oppose
the amendment on what he called
moral grounds.
Disputing Senator Sterling's state
ment that the United States never
objected to Germany's acquisition of
Shantung, Senator Watson, Indiana
stated that our war with Spain was
the only reason for our failure to
intervene at thai time in favor OF
China.
Senator Hoke Smith announced he
would vote against the amendment,
although I regret the disposition
made of shantung by our representa-
tives at Paris
Senator Smoot, Republican, de-
clared that under no condition" will
he vote for the treaty without reser-
vations. He announced he will vote
for a reservation covering the
Shantung amendment, but that he
will vote against the amendment
Senator Sherman, of Illinois, sup
ported the amendment as a practical
measure, because he said, Japan and
Britain are permanent allies and
China may be our only friend in the
east.

DiIapidated Suitcase, Old
Clothes and Snuff Box,
IDiScarded for Jewels and
Furs When ''UncIe Jack"
Appears

Mrs. Catherine Bradstreet, one of
the principals in the sensational
Fairburn bank robbery case, made
her appearance in Atlanta at least
year ago and a man answering the
description of william B. Green, vice
president of the bank and now
charged with embezzlement of the
banks funds, was lavishing money
and presents upon her at that time,
according to information secured at
a fashionable boarding house on
Peachtree street
Persons at the boarding house de-
clare that in October 1918 Mrs.
Bradstreet and her husband engaged
a room there, saying that they wished
to obtain quarters located conven-
lent to Camp Gordon, where Brad
street was stationed at the time.
Mrs. Bradstreet, they say, made
the statement that she was from New
York City. One of the members of
the family operating the boarding
house told the story of Mrs. Brad
streets activities something as fol-
lows:
Mrs. BradStreet told us she had
married against her parents wishes
and had left home with very little
personal apparel. She wore blue
coat suit and carried a rather di-
lapidated suit case. I had occasion
to go with her to her room the day
she came and was astonished to
see her produce a pistol, razor and
box of snuff, which she placed on
the mantel-Diece
within a few days a strange man
appeared with her and was intro
duced as Uncle Jack Mrs. Brad
street said he was a druggist of
Fairburn, Ga, and was very wealthy.
About the same time she discarded
the blue coat suit and appeared in
a very stylish and expensive cos
tune, with a big picture hat and
costly trinkets of various kinds.
Gave Her a Car
"She had been wearing a cheap
little ring, but this was discarded
and she began to wear a beautiful
solitaire diamond ring, also display
ing several other articles Of jewelry
which were undoubtedly very valua-
Bile. Uncle Jack would come to
the house every few days driving a
big automobile and one day Mrs.
Bradstreet told US that Uncle Jack
was going to give her a car just like

it. Sure enough, in day or two
she came driving UP in a big Hudson
Super-six, saying that Uncle Jack
had given it to her. The negro
chauffeur, Robert, had been driving
around to the house in big, car and
taking her to ride, but after she got
her own automobile she employed
him and he drove her every day.
"The most beautiful flowers came
to Mrs. Bradstreer every day and
just quantities of fruit of all kinds.
81 went up to her room several
times and saw great piles of money
lying around. On two or three oc-
casions I have seen packages of cur
rency sealed up as they do at banks,
lying on the mantel-piece. Once /
counted it and it was more than
$1,000. There were packages of tens,
twenties and fifties. She just left it
lying around as though she didn't
know the value of it. I have seen
her pay the butler SIS to cook her
breakfast when she got up late in
the morning.
Green is charged with embezzle-
ment. Mrs. Bradstreet, Bradstreet and
Ellison are also charged with EN-
bezzlement. Mrs. Bradstreet and the
negro are also held as material wit
nesses, and Mrs. Bradstreet further
more is held under a bail trover suit
for her wedding ring. Her total bond
in the three cases is fixed at $1,000;
Bradstreet's bond is fixed at $4,000.
and Ellison's bond in the two cases
totals $500. Green is the only one
of the four who has made bond. His
bond is for $4,000.
The commitment hearing whenever
it takes place, will be the first step
in the legal procedure. 1t will prob
ably be brief, attorneys for the prose-
cution being required to produce only
sufficient evidence to justify the
holding of Green, the Bradstreets and
Ellison for action by the grand jury.
The grand jury of Campbell county
does not hold it's next regular ses-
sion until February, it was stated
Thursday at Fairburn, but in case
the prisoners are bound over at the
commitment hearing, a special ses-
sion of the grand jury to act on
their cases will probably be called.
The commitment hearing and all
other legal steps in the case will
take place in Campbell county at
Fairburn, the county seat, since the
embezzlement warrants are ell re-
turnable to Campbell county If the
four are bound over to the grand
jury and are then indicted by the
grand jury, 1t is said that the trial
of each will take place separately
in the courthouse at Fairburn.
In the meantime, attorneys for
both sides civ 6ptaCfiVeS and Pink
ertons retained by the American
Bankers association, will be busy
gathering evidence.
