Negro Boy, Caught in
Store, Planned to Rob

Bass Hodgson, a young negro boy,
was arrested early Sunday morning
in the cellar of Poole & Sons store
on Lee and Forsyth streets. Today
he admitted to Sheriff Harvey that
he had effected an entrance through
a window and that he had planned to
burglarize, though when first ar,
rested by Police Lieutenant Kimsey
he at first claimed he was there for
another purpose. Mrs. R. L. Kidd,
who resides above the store. observed
the negro a short while before his
arrest, lettering in the vicinity of the
store and was attracted by his suspi-
cious actions. Hearing a noise in the
store, she telephoned Lieut.. Kimsey,
who found on investigation that
Hodgson was attempting to operate
the freight elevator in the store. The
police say a number of Sunday morn
ing burglaries have been reported
lately, and they believe Hodgson, who
operates a shoe shine stand on Sun
days, is responsible for all of them.

PUSH WORK FOR
AMALCAMATION
THIRDPARTY
Forty-Eighters Refuse to
Bind Selves For Joint
Meeting

CHICAGO, July 12.-The work on
amalgamating the various elements
assembled here for the formation of
new party continued behind closed
doors this morning while the conven-
ton of the Forty-elghters and the
national labor party marked time.
Amalgamation of the labor party of
the United States and the committee
of fOrty-eight in a political move
ment with single party name, one
platform and one presidential ticket,
was included in the recommendations
submitted to the two convention
when they re-convened today.
Senator LaFollette remained the
most talked-of candidate today in the
presidential race.
The recommendations if approved
today as the leaders confidently eX-
pect, mean that the two conventions
will preserve their separate Identity
and continue to function in separate
sessions, with subcommittee report
ing identical measures to each Tor
discussion and action.
The amalgamation efforts were
carried forward today under the dl-

headed by Mrs. Ina Williams, of the
state of Washington, carried invita-
tions to the non-partisan league, the
single tax convention the World war
Veterans association and the Amerl-
can constitutional party to partlcl-
rate. The delegates attending the
committee of forty-eight convention
all agreed to go that far, it was said
on the understanding thct they would
not be bound to remain in the ses-
sion or support its decisions.
John Fitzpatrick, president OF the
Chicago Federation of Labor, key
note speaker before the labor con-
Ivention yesterday, brought the con-
'vention to the highest enthusiasm
with a plea "that the day would
come when the working people of
the United States would get togther
and do job such as the workers OF
Russia have done"
The biggest demonstration OF the
day was accorded this reference;
Delegates stamped and whistled and
when one called for "three cheers for
Soviet Russia" they were given.
Fitzpatrick declared there, was
nothing to prevent the hand and
brain workers taking the government
out of the hands of, not Americans;
but international financial pirates,
and advised all the minority groups
to unite on one ticket

C. .O.P. GOVERNOR
DECLINES TO ACT
FOR SUFFRAGE
Turns Down Harding's
Hint of Party
Advantage

RUTLAND, Vermont, July 12-
Governor Clement today issued a
proclamation refusing to call the Yer
mont legislature in special session to
make possible ratification of the fed
eral suffrage amendment.
In giving his reasons for refusing
again to call a special session Gov
ernor Clements said the proposed
amendment clearly invades the Yer
mont constitution and that the pres
ent legislature was elected before
the question of ratification had
arisen.
Governor Clement was called in
conference with Senator Harding in
Washington on the subject more than
a week ago, and the advantage to the
Republican party of Vermont COM
pleting ratification impressed upon
him. Today was his first announce
ment since that conference.

Bolshevism, Mrs. Snowden believes,
has been aided by the Polish war.
The people have united to repell in
vasion. If left alone by outside
forces, she thinks Russian Bolshevism
will purge itself, ceasing then to be
Bolshevism as it is now known.

HARDWICK STOPS
HERE FOR VISIT
And CONFERENCE
Movement Put Under
Way For Hardwick
Club, is Report

Former Senator Thomas w. Hard
wick, of Sandersville, was distin-
guished visitor in Americus Sunday
afternoon and this morning en- route
to Buena Vista, where he delivered
an address this forenoon. While here
Sunday Senator Hardwick held con-
ferences with a number of his
friends, and it was said among those
familiar with the political situation
that much progress was attained to-
ward setting up Hardwick organiza-
tiOn in Sumter county. No announce
ment of who will head the Hardwick
campaign here was authorized by
those who conferred with the form
er senator, now a candidate for gov
ernor, but it was indicated the line
up would be EYite different from
that in the ralE between Hardwick
and Harris during the war.
Senator Hardwick appeared san
guine regarding the race for govern
or in which he is opposed by Cliff
Walker, of Monroe, and John N.
Holder, of jefferson. Both these can
didates have strong friends in Amer
icus and Sumter county, and it is
we'll known that Holder while here
some time ago, partially perfected his
organization here. Walker, who is a
brother of Mrs. Frank Harold, of
Americus, and who carried this coun-
ty in his race for attorney general by
a big majority, has visited Americus
frequently since his candidacy be-
came a certainty, and his friends, as
well as those of Holder, appeared to
be greatly interested in every move
ment made by the Hardwick forces
yesterday and today. Senator Hard
wick will speak in Americas Tues
day, July 20, at the courthouse, if
that auditorium can be secured, and it
is anticipated that his appearance
here will be the signal for the or
ganization of "Hardwick for Gov
ernor" club-or, at least, that is what
the political wise-acres are saying on
the streets today.
During his stay in Americus Mr.
Hardwick spent some time at the
home of John and Frank Sheffield
who are his cousins.
