rs WRITS OF EVICTION
W Cases Left Out of Original 500
for Sheriff Lamberton

+ Sheriff Robert L. Lamberton will
enter upon his duties Monday with but
}ty to seventy tive writs of eviction
fill awaiting action.
y The distressing business of evicting
Eaml!ies was thought destined to fall
'heaylly upon the shoulders of the in
coming sheriff, when Harry Ransley,
the retiring sheriff, stated some time
ago that there were still some 800 evic-
lions to be acted upon.
With his announcement of the large
number, however, Sheriff Ransley Sc
cured the services of twenty one writ
servers, and put them out in the dis
trlcts during November and December
with Instructions to use diplomacy in
serving their notices. He cautioned the
servers to give the families plenty of
time to get out.
AS result. few families were really
'e.Victed, and most of them moved in due
time.

to the South.
Atlanta is here with delegation of 100 Ad Men
backed by every organized body in their City to in
vte the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World
to meet with her in 1921.
We know, of course, that you are coming. No
body declines Atlanta invitation-certainly
body of such high intelligence and fine dscrmina-
ton as the Associated Advertising Clubs Of the
World. Would it not be a disastrous commentary
upon this organization for the to go out that
they invited to meet in Atlanta and declined to
accept? We shudder at the thought.
Atlanta served notice in New Orleans year
ago that she was coming after the convention of
1921. Any competitors that get mangled here will
have nobody but themselves to blame. We hope
there II be none prefer to handle these matters
peaceably and without bloodshed
Atlanta has raised little starter of $4,000 for
entertainment, but that's bag of shells. Atlanta
hospitality could not be bought for any price.
And hospitality is the thing that has made At
lanta famous among conventions.

HARDING DECLINES WILSON'S
 OFFER OF A BATTLESHIP

Marion, O., Nov. 5.-President Wilson's offer of battleship to carry President elect Harding to Panama on his vaca- tion voyage was declined today by Mir. Harding.
 The president-elect wired to Washing tos that although he was thankful for MT. Wilson's courtesy he already had per- fected his plans for the trip and had en- gagged passage south from a gulf port on a passenger steamer
 The sailing plans of the Harding party have been the subject of much negotiation between Harding headquarters and steamship companies and, although the first impression of officials here was that use of a battleship would offer a welcome solution, the senator himself decided he would prefer to keep the booking agree ment already made. He sent this tele- gram to Secretary Daniels, who had transmitted the presidents offer:
 ~ T most grate . ly acknowledge your gracious telegram in which you convey the presidents thoughtful courtesy in di- recting warship to be placed at my disposal for contemplated trip to Pan- anna along with the use of the Mayhower Tor connection at Hampton Roads. Please assure the president of my grateful ap- preciation of his consideration, but I can not accept because I am travelling by railroad to a vacation point in Texas and l nave booked to embark from a gulf port for Panama
 T thank you also for your courtesy. |"

sing. former secretary of state and . member of the peace commission. often quoted by MT. Harding in the campaign as disagreeing with MT Wilson on some features of the Versailles covenant i; Frank l.. Polk, the state departments former under-secretary Chief Justice White, and George Harvey, the New York editor.
 There has been even less of speculation with regard to what women would be asked for advice in the making of the new plan for an international association. It is expected, however, that the senator will choose those who have been closely associated with public activities through out the treaty fight so as to be familiar with the sentiments of their sisters re- garding American membership in the league or any substitute for it.
 Whether the tentative list of names was one of the subjects reviewed in the talk between Mir. Harding and MT. Hays was not revealed. Il was understood that many topics came up for discussion, how ever, in the first meeting of the success full candidate and his manager since the election. They greeted each other warm ly when Mir. Hays arrived and as soon as there had been an exchange of con- gratulations the president-elect put his arm around the shoulders of the chair man and, deeply engrossed in conversa- tion, they walked slowly over to MT. Hardings officS
 It was MT. Hays fist birthday and in explanation of the visit the president elect said tonight that he felt indebted to the chairman for birthday party and so had asked him to be a guest here throughout the day.

cox WILL NOT YIELD A
 SINGLE LOT IN PRINCIPLE

Columbus Ohio, Nov. Ex-Governor Cox. in his first statement since the cleo tion, tonight said that in spirit he was ..as proud as when the fight started" and that he would not retrace step nor yield single jot in principle"
 Governor Cox's statement follows:
 For the first time in ten years, the republican party is in complete control Of the legislative and executive branches of the national government. Therefore, policy as to statute and administration is with 1t. Its task is no longer that of the critic but the constructor. It is my hope and firm belief-that tie Democracy of the nation will not attempt political sabotage. The country. has seen quite enough of that.
 We are in the midst of an emergency and the nations every resource should be coordinate in behalf of the things that are helpful. So long as government exists, the principles of Thomas Jeff ferson will be the center about which human hopes will gather. Talk of a new party is absurd. One might as well dis cuss the destruction of human emotions
 "As essential as it has been to the welfare of the country in the past, the creed of democracy is more needed now than ever because recent events have made it distinctly the American party
 "In spirit 1 am as proud as when the fight started would not retrace step nor yield single jot in principle. It was a privilege to make the contest for the right in the face of overwhelming odds There is distinct difference be- tween defeat and surrender. The flag of democracy still flies as the symbol of things more enduring than the passions and resentments that come with the af- termath of war"

Washington, Nov 5. - Commander Warren J, Terhune, naval governor of Samoa, shot and killed himself at noon, november Srd, said a despatch received today at the navy department
 Commander Terhune recently Was or dered relieved from duty as com mandant at Samoa and Captain Waldo B. Evans appointed to succeed him.
 No details regarding the suicide were given in the message. but naval officials here assume that the officer took his life during period of depression induced by III health. He had been suffering from heart trouble.
 A naval court of Inquiry is now en route to Samoa to inquire into the ad- ministration of the island by Command CT Terhune The court was appointed by Secretary Daniels as a result of charges made by Lieutenant Commander C. J. Boucher against Commander Ter nune's administration. Lieutenant Com mander Boucher was later relieved from duty as Commander Perfumes assistant at Samoa. The court of inquiry, which is headed by Rear Admiral Charles F, Hughes, is due at Samoa Sunday.
 American tourists arriving at Honoiu- lu last August carried reports of agita- ton among the natives against the ad. ministration of Governor Terhune. They said the governors house had been ston. ed by mob and that petition asking for an investigation of the governors admin. istration had been forwarded to Wash. ington.

Division of Turkey is Agreed Upon
France, Great Britain and Italy Have Signed a Tripartite Agreement = Just Made Public.

Paris, Nov. 5.-(By the A. P.)- France, Great Britain and Italy have signed tripartite agreement in which
 they undertake to support each other in
 maintaininf their spheres of influence"
 in Turkey. The limits of the areas in
 which the respective special interests of France and Italy are recognized are de-
 fined by the same document.
 This agreement. it developed today,
 was signed at Sevres on August TO- the day the public ceremonial of the sign
 ing of the peace treaty with Turkey took
 place. Although the agreement, 1t is ex- plained, is not considered secret one, 1t nevertheless has never been made public until now, after a lapse of nearly three months since the signing. Under its own terms the document was to come into force and be published at the time the Turkish peace treaty should go into effect This date is still an uncertainty. In connection with examination, of the text of the agreement. now available, at

BARNES OFFERS SUGGESTIONS
 ON MARKETING OF GRAIN

Chicago, Nov 5.-Julius H. Barnes, former director general of the United States Grain Corporation, today appear ed before the marketing committee of seventeen of the American Farm Bu reau Federation offering opinion and suggestions on the subject of grain mar keting, and outlining major influences on price fluctuations on trading exchanges.
 MT. Barnes said it was his conviction that the present system of grain market ing through open exchanges, by main taining a highly competitive market at all times worked to the advantage of both producer and consumer and that future trading was beneficial in that it furnished insurance for traders against destructive losses on commitments which would of necessity be taken in wider margins of profits without exchange hedging He urged the development of a better understanding of ''the great ex- changes and cooperation with them in developing their full service and elimi- hating their defects and abuses, "~and commended the committee for it's tenn per to Hay aside prejudice and previous conceptions to learn the truth about bas- ic facts on which sound marketing must proceed"
 Touching Ipon recent declines in wheat prices, which some agricultural interests or tEe country haVe claiIDed are unWdf- = ranted by he existing supply and de- mand, Br. Barnes said that the wheat producer had escaped the full effect of defiation," because of the cushion" found in future trading. He cited fig ures tending to show. that the decline in heat from Ihs peak postwar price to the current level has been only Is per cent. as against decline of 6S per cent. in potatoes, for which u ere is no ex- change market Similar comparisons re- veal declines of 55 per cent. in cotton, 1T per cent. in beans, and 46 per cent. in barley, he said. Indications that the de- flation is worldwide in character and not confined American farm products alone MT. Barnes said, was found in the fact that impor ca farm commoditie 'ch as sugar anc -~ ice, fell off froH \ . 66 per cent Huring the same perlc,
 In answer to a question as to whether it would be feasible for producers tc market their own crops, MT. Barnes said tt e presa II system mali tained a lower trade toll between producer and con. sumer than would be possible in any sys- tenn which eliminated hedging and that in his opinion any organization of far
 mers for price fixing would not be de creed just by the American public.
