WATSON HURLS BOOK
AT SETBACK PLAYERS

ATLANTA, Aug. 19-ThOmas f..
Watson, a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for United States
senator in the September primaries,
was placed under arrest at Buford
last night and held in $500 bond on a
charge of public indecency," ac-
cording to a statement made over
the telephone by Chief of Police l..
D. Lawson and Sheriff J. R. Shad-
burn, the affair, they said grew out
of disturbance created by Mr.. Wat
son in the hallway of a Buford hotel
after he had prepared to retire.
A man whose name appeared on
the warrant as "E. H. Miller accord
ing to Sheriff Shadburn, was held
in $1,000 bond after Chief Lawson
had accused him of drawing a pistol
when the chief sought to make arrests
in the case.
Mr.. Watson, it was said, expected
to make bond later in the night and
be liberated. Pending that time it
was impossible to get a statement
from him from here.
Mr.. Watson, who is on a campaign
tour, went to Buford late today, it
was said, and was to make a speech
near here tomorrow. Substantially
the account of the affair given by
Sheriff Shadburn and Chief Law
son was that after having prepared
to retire about 9 o'clock last night
at the hotel, Mr.. Watson suddenly
appeared in the hallway and declared
among other things that his rest was

COX PUTS WOES
OF WORLD UPON
SENATORS
Says They Delay Prog

Living Costs

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Aug. 19-
international financial and economic
readtustment, as we'll as the high
cost of living are bound up in the
success of the League of Nations.
Governor Cox declared here today
in addressing a large public gath
ering. He will speak again tonight
at the Indiana Democratic editors
banquet.
"Our safety, our economic read
justment, and our prosperity are all
involved in Americas making the
League world force" Governor Cox
asserted, charging the Republican
"senate oligarchy" with responsibility
for delaying economic progress and
belated reduction in living costs.
'The position of Democracy is de-
finite and affirmative" said Cover
nor Cox, charging reactionary Re
publican leaders with being eva
sive, ambiguous and hypocritical.

E. ZIMMERMAN
NOT CANDIDATE
Declares Himself Def
nitely Out of Legisla

terday of Representative Stephen
Pace that he would not be a candi-
date for reelection to the Georgia
legislature, E. Zimmerman, Sumter

nounced today that he, too, would not
stand for reelection in the coming
primary.

apparently some do not know it and
l want to make the announcement
positive at this time. "
Mr.. Zimmerman served two terms,
or four years. The only entrant for
the two vacancies thus far announc-
ed is G. c. Thomas, of Cobb.

cox SEES SUFFRAGE
AID TO LEAGUE ISSUE

COLUMBUS, O., Aug. 19-Gover-
nor Cox and his aides joined late yes
terday in hailing Tennessee's ratifi-
cation of the woman suffrage amend
ment. That the enfranchisement of
women would help the Democratic
presidential, and also local tickets,
was predicted universally by the Gov
ernor's advisers, who said that they
believed great majority of the
women stand with Governor Cox on
the League of Nations issue.
Governor Cox, upon receipt of the
news from Tennessee, issued form
al statement declaring that "the
mothers of America would stay the
hand Of war" and also that the rat
ification was a promise of perform
ance of Democratic platform pledges.
Senator Harrison, of Mississippi,
leader in the Cox organization, who
came here today from New York,
to arrange the Governors speaking
itineraries, said:
Our campaign plans will not be
changed as a result of Tennessee'e e
ratification. They will proceed with
the League of Nations the paramount
issue, and am confident the League
issue will appeal to women especial
ly."
Governor Cox was called upon BY
delegation of woman suffrage work
ers, headed by Mrs. Abby Scott Ba-
ker, Of the National Woman's party.
He was thanked for his efforts to
secure ratification in Tennessee and
posed with them on the capitol steps
for moving pictures.

Tax Return Sheets
Lost by Tax Receiver

The original tax return sheets for
the Fifteenth district have disappear
ed from the office of Tax Receiver
George D. Jones, it was announced
today, in an advertisement request
ing their return by any one who finds
them. However, it will not make much
difference if they are not found, he
stated today. as he had already COP
led them into the digest book. They
are useful only in assisting individ-
uals in making their returns next
year.
Carpenters have been making cer-
tain repairs and changes in Nh. Jones'
office recently and he is of the opin-
ion that the pack of returns may have
been inadvertently carried out as
trash

Watson's Statement
Watson's statement follows:
After my nervous collapse in Flor
ida two years ago, it has been nee
essary at times for me to take stim-
ulant after extraordinary exertion.
While conducting the present cam
paign at the age of "a, l have been
addressing enormous crowds and act
ing on the advice of my physician,
DR.. Thomas r. Wright, | have been
taking small amounts of stimulants
after extraordinary exertion.
7
ed an enormous crowd, speaking
directly under heavy warehouse roof
Almost all of the speakers at Winder
were overcome with the heat. Seeing
this, friend of mine at Winder gave
me a small bottle of whiskey from
which he had taken several drinks
and from which | took only two, one
at Winder and one at Buford, as |
went to bed after having eaten the
first time during the whole day.
"The noise of the gentlemen who
were playing cards in the lobby came
directly into my room because of the
relative situation of the lobby to my
room. felt obliged to have some rest,
for l was absolutely broke down and
tired. When the noise continued, l
stepped out of my room to the lobby
rail and tossed book down to at
tract their attention, saying that the
loud conversation of the card players
made it impossible for me to sleep.
Didn't See Woman
During this conversation I did not
see the proprietress at any time, nor
did I see anybody else in the lobby
except those who were playing cards.
They broke up their game and / re-
turned to my room.
''To my utter astonishment and
without being told of what offense |
was accused, | was seized by two
powerful policemen, with whom |
struggled for liberty. AS they did
not tell me nv offense and did not
exhibit any warrant, I was not aware
of having disturbed anyone except
the gentlemen playing cards. I was
not aware that the landlady was any
where near.
'In the struggle with the police
men, underclothing was torn and
disarranged through no fault of mine.
Of course, when I was being treated
that way, l used some pretty rough
language, having no knowledge of the
presence of the lady. l apologize ia
her profusely for saying anything
which she may have heard"
After giving out this statement,
Mr.. Watson referred inquiries for
other information to his attorney,
John I. Kelley.
