HARDING SMOKED
OUT SAYS WHITE

| New York, Oct. George
White, chairman of the Democra-
tic National Committee, in a
statement, declared that "the
democrats have smoked Senator
Harding out and he now has made
the League of Nations issue in the
campaign clear"
"He has apparently scrapped
the League and along with it the
Lodge reservations" Mr. Whites
statement added.
"Also frankly, am amazed at
Senator Harding's reiteration in
his Omoha speech Thursday of his
statement, 4 have a sympathetic
feeling for Irish freedom. / voted
that way in the United States
Senate
"On July %, 1919, when the
Senate was considering the Pitt
man resolution asking clemency
from Great Britain toward Irish
political prisoners, Harding voted
against it. On November Is, 1919,
he voted against a reservation for
Irish determination On
March Is, 1920. he voted against
the Gerry resolution 'adhering to
the principle of sefl-determination
and to the original Senate resolu-
ton of sympathy with the aspir-
ationh of the Irish people for "a
government Of their own choice
"He did this after voting to lay
the resolution on the table and
thus failing to emasculate it. On
the original resolution of sympa-
thy for Ireland the record disclos-
es that he lodges that vote by alb
senting himself from tn echamber
and on every other vote pending
to give due consideration to the
Irish problem he voted no"

ATTENTION EVERYONE

The following letter from S. F..
Crecelius, City Engineer, is self
explanatory, and / desire, there
fore, that it be given the widest
publicity. So, please publish this
in the Daily Register and ask the
citizens to cooperate with the City
officials in the matter. Your truly,
L. P. EVANS, Mayor.
MIR. l.. P. Evans, Mayor, Richmond.
Dear Sir: The effect of autOmo-
bile drippings on the asphalt
streets is causing considerable un-
eaSiness.
The sOftening of asphalt by au-
tOmObile drippings is causing some
uneasiness in the minds of the citi-
zens of Richmond and many are
making personal Investigations,
digging out the surface material.
The public should be advised that
the spots will harden again when
the oil evaporates, doing no harm.
and no one should disturb the ma
terial in the oily spots.
The public should cooperate in
keeping kerosene off the streets, as
it will destroy asphalt. and the
kerosene ordinance. should be rig
idly enforced. Very respectfully,
S. F. CRECELIUS.

ACQUIT EASTERNER
OF SERIOUS CHARGE
Stubborn Legal Battle Requiring
Whole Day, Echo Of Tobacco
Sales Last Year

One of the most stubbornly
fought cases in the Madison cir
suit court since the beginning o
the present term, was that of the
Commonwealth VS.. w. G. Yancey
of Clarksville, Va, which occupied
the attention of the court fol
more than one whole day and ter
minated in a verdict of not guilty
upon the part of the jury within q
period of fifteen minutes after
that body assumed charge.
Young Yancey was charged
with having misappropriated a
quantity of tobacco in a local
warehouse and is said to have
sold it while on the local floors.
The defendant. who left the city
soon after the alleged transaction
learned while in the east, it is
claimed, that an Indictment had
been returned against him by the
Madison county grand jury at its
regular session, and he is said by
his attorneys to have lost no time
in returning to Richmond and
looking up the case. This, the
evidence shows, was done, with
the result that he gave bond for
his appearance after which he re-
turned east. The specific charge
was grand larceny. The witnesses
in the main were officials and en-
ployes of the Madison Tobacco
Warehouse Company of this city.
1t developed that there were
many thousand pounds of tobacco
stored in the warehouses of the
company, and it seemed that there
was more or less confusion, when
when it came to the case of the
young man, who maintained that
ne handled nothing but the tobac-
co he iegitimately bought. He
stated that he had nothing to do
with any other part of the tobacco
stored in the warehouse of the
plaintiff, and testimony as well as
his accounts Of purchases and
sales Of tobacco showed that he
handled but stipulated amount.
John holland and J. P. Chenault
were his attorneys.
Yancey, upon being acquitted,
seemed greatly pleased, stating
this was the first time he had ever
been accused of wrong doing. He
brought credentials from his
home in the east showing former
transactions, testimony of char
acter witnesses. etc. He has
made many friends since his re-
turn to the city, and will spend
several days here with friends.
