PEANUT MEN TO
DEMAND PROFIT
Meeting at Albany to
Seek to Solve
Problems

HAHIRA, Ga, Aug. 4.-President
W. W. Webb today announced that
the Georgia Peanut Growers asso.
clation will meet at the courthouse in
Albany August IL at 10 a. M, central
time. Every peanut grower is invit-
ed and earnestly requested to be pres
ent, and take part in plans for better
marketing conditions than now ap-
pear IN prospect.
we are facing a bad market with
a big crop of peanuts" said Mr.. Webb.
While the peanut has been develop
ed into so many different valuable
products, it was reasonable to expect
it would increase the demand for our
peanuts and that the prices would be
good. But unlooked-for bears are
threatening to knock the profit out
of peanuts; the oriental peanuts are
being dumped into our country, and
altogether it is serious enough to
demand that all peanut growers at
tend the meeting and cooperate in
formulating plans that will protect
the growers against Improbable mar
keting.
Surprising facts will be presented
that l think will bring such co-opera-
tive responses that the meeting will
result in good for the growers and
add wealth to our country. For this
reason / beg that every grower and
all patriotic Georgians join US in
boosting the Albany meeting. The
good city of Albany will open wide
her doors laying her hospitality on the
altar. Her hospitality mixed with the
peanut industry will make every visl-
tor happy and add much to the wealth
of our great Georgia. All people who
are friends to the toiling masses are
invited. Whosoever will come to Al
bany on August H."

CONFESSION
OF MURDER FALSE
Message Designed to Prevent
Electrocution Without
Basis of Fact
HOAX SENT AS SLAYER DIES

New York, July 3O.-(By A. P.)-
Robert Baron, thirty years old, OF
Brooklyn. was taken to Bellevue Hos
pital today for psychopathic examination
as result of telephoned confession Of
the murder Of Patrolman O'Brien, OF
Rochester, for which crime Elmer Hyatt
was electrocuted last night at Sing Sing
prison.
1t was only after long examination
by psychiatrists that Baron admitted
he had tried to hoax the police. He
said he had a deep interest in the
Hyatt case, and that he had called on
several ministers to induce them to
eXort influence to save the youthful
murderer from the electric chair.
Baron refused to give any informa-
tion concerning himself or to explain
why. he was interested in Hyatt. He
declined to answer further questions
unless the Cuban consul were present.
Baron was arrested late last night
near telephone booth from which he
had sent message to Sing Sing prison
fourteen minutes before the electric
current was applied to the murderer.
The message implored the prison au-
thorities not to electrocute Hyatt, de-
clared the youth innocent of the crime
and added that he. the messenger, was
the real murderer. The police were
skeptical, but held Baron on the gen
eral charge of vagrancy pending today's
examination when the hoax was re-
vealed.
Hyatt, eighteen years old, was the
youngest of all the 165 criminals who
have died in the New York electric
chair. Prison officials say there was
no doubt of his guilt.
