CHARGE UNTRUE AND
ABSURD, SAYS HARDING

MARION, o., Aug. 23-Govern-
or Cox's charge of Republican cam
paign fund of $15,000,000 was char
acterized by Senator Harding Sunday
as absolutely untrue" and perfectly
ridiculous
Declaring he seconded cordially the
challenge of Republican National
Chairman Hays to the Democratic
nominee to produce evidence of ex-
cessive Republican contributions, Mr..
Harding said he was not fearful of
results of any investigation of the
party treasury.
"We court the fullest understand
ing of our funds in every respect, "
said the Republican nominee, COM
menting on Governor Cox's speech
of Saturday "Not only are state
ments of excessive expenditures abb
solutely untrue, but as a matter of
fact, we are having difficulty in pro-
ducing the funds we legitimats.y need
to conduct the campaign as it should
be conducted. Stories of 5000
900 fund are perfectly ridiculous.
Senator Harding added that the
wave of advancing costs and the en-
franchisement of women had raised
the legitimate financial requirements
of a national campaign, but declar-
ed his party's money chest contain
ed nothing like" the total named
by his Democratic opponent. Asked
whether any Of the money raised by
the national committee before the
Chicago convention would be used in
the campaign, he said it all had been
expended by convention time, and
that in making it's arrangements at
Chicago the party treasury had been
compelled to borrow something like
a quarter of million dollars"

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, August
23.-(SpeciaD D-With rewards aggre-
eating $4,000 offered and every city
and county officer at work on the
case, developments which will lead
to the identity of the two negroes
who shot and killed Abe Barron Sat-
urday night and then unsucessfully
attempted criminal assault up an
Americas, Ga, girl, are expected
here momentarily. The girl, stand
ing beside the body of Barron, was
found on the Klenwood pike early
Saturday night by motorists return
ing to the city. Her assailants, she
said, fled at the approach of rescuers.
The young woman, who is visiting
relatives here, was terribly hys-
terical but gave a clear and connect
ed account of the tragedy She
corroborated this Monday in the fol-
lowing statement issued to the news
papers:
81 had an engagement with Abe at
.8 o'clock. He was late in arriving
and we left the house about $3.50. We
drove out McCallie avenue and then
into Greenwood drive about 9:45. I
told him that we had better go back
home and he agreed that it was get
ting late. In order that he might
turn around he drove his car, new
Ford, down the little street where
he was killed for several feet. About
that time it commenced to rain and
he said that he had better put up the
curtains on the car He was able
to put part of the curtains up with
out getting out of the car. The rear
curtains had to be placed on the car
from the ground. He climbed from
the car on the left hand side and
was working with the curtain, talking
all the time
'I did not see or hear anything
out of the ordinary until | heard the
shot. I saw two big black negroes
wearing caps near Abe. One of them
was holding a gun. Abe stagger-
ed and fell backward on his face.
I screamed and felt myself being
jerked out of the car by one of the
negroes. The other negro was bend
ing over Abe searching his pockets,
thinking that they wanted money,
I jerked a ring off my finger, gold
ring with three diamonds, and dia-
mond shaped watch from my WrlN
and gave it to them, begging them
to leave. One of them cursed me
and held his hand over my mouth
while the other dragged me several
yards from the road. I was fighting
all the time and trying to scream but
the negro had his hand tight over my
mouth when they stopped. I made
desperate effort to escape from
them but l could not get loose"
The girl said that she was strug-
Cling with him and that she believed
that she could have snatched the gun
when her rescuers arrived.
The young lady referred to is a
well known Americus girl who has
been visiting her grand parents in
Chattanooga for a month or more.
Relatives left this afternoon for
Chattanooga.

This broke the old record by more

Finds Triple Murder
Committed by Bird

ATLANTA, Augut 23.-A Fulton
county farmer walking in his fields a
day or two ago encountered triple
murder mystery. Noticing some
thing queer about thorn-bush he ap-
preached it and found impaled
through the body on three separate
thorns lizard, a field mouse, and a
sparrow. The man who found the
victims hanging there, called two of
his neighbors to see the strange sight,
and one of them recognized it as the
work of the Shrike or butcher bird''
feathered buccaneer not very COM
mon in this part of the country,
which kills for the mere pleasure of
killing and impales its victims. Some
times the Shrike comes back and eats
the creatures which it has murdered,
but more often they are left hanging
in the wind for a season through.
