Maude Radford Warren
At Last Freed By Reds

CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. ID
Mrs. Maude Radford Warren, Amer
lean author, has arrived in Constan-
tinople after being detained for 8
weeks by the Bolshveki at Baku. Mrs.
Warren reached Baku by steamer
from Persia the very day the Russian
Bolsheviki took the city over from
the Azerbaidjanese. She was not i'm
prisoned but was kept under surveil-
lance and denied permission to take
the train for Batoum until all infor-
nation she had about the bolshevist
military movements was old and the
Moscow crowd had thoroughly en-
trenched itself and defeated Tartar
opposition at Elizavetopol and other
points where there was bitter feeling
against the new carpetbag govern
ment.
The only Americans now in Baku
so far as American officials know.
are Mr.. and Mrs. S. Spoer, J. c.
Smith, A. C. Telfagten, C. A. Casha-
fer and J. K. Graham. Practically al
these remained in Baku of their own
volition for business reasons when
the other Americans moved out un-
der the direction of Charles H. Moser,
the American commissioner at Tiflis.

STATE SUPREME
COURT UPSETS
anti INJUNCTION
Grants Supersedeas Ia
king Fight Out of
Lower Court

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. "a
According to Attorney General
Thompson, Governor Roberts at
1920 o'clock this morning certified
Tennessee's ratification of the fed
eral suffrage amendment to Secre-
tary of State Colby, sending the GER
tificate by mail.
Another development came today
when Chief Justice Lansden, of the
state Supreme court, granted Attor
ney General Thompson's petition of
certiorari and supersedeas in the in
junction proceedings to prevent GER
tification, ordering all records in the
case brought before the Supreme
court for hearing The action takes
the matter out of the hands of the
lower court.
According to Attorney General
Thompson, the granting of the petit
tion of certiorari vacates the exist
ing injunctions. Thompson this
morning advised the governor that
the proceedings left the matter en-
tirely open and certification follow
ed Immediately.
The opponents of ratification
charge the proceedings violate the
rules of the supreme court, in that
the other party was not notified that
such a hearing was to be held.
Governor Roberts, Attorney Gen
eral Thompson and others hold that
br bau ,.afsfsnltn
declare only the injunction has stood
in the way of certifying ratification
to Washington.
The governors statement follows
in part;
81 am advised by the attorney gen
eral that the action of the two hous-
es of the Legislature constitutes a
ratification of this amendment and |
will countenance no act intended to
nullify this ratification and the will
of the majority, by the minority, Ell
ther by flight or abandonment of of
ficial duty upon the part of members
or otherwise. i will exercise and
bring to bear all the legal and legit-
innate powers of the office of govern
or to consummate in an orderly and
legal manner the certification of the
action of the legislature to the proper
federal officials.
II shall very much regret if any
conduct of mine shall forfeit the good
will of any of my friends whose sup
port and good wishes have merited
and receive my appreciation.
"But | must first keep my own
word and fulfill my conceptions of
my official duty to merit the true
friendship and respect of all men and
this shall continue to do"

ing that he would "prove" his charges
regarding the magnitude of the Re-
publican campaign funds, and would
present the information in his address
Thursday night at Pittsburgh. The
statement says:
Senator Harding denied my char
ges about the campaign fund which

nothing about lot of things that are
going on around him. This he reveals
in his speeches this week. | will ad-
wise the country as to matters of
which the senator claims to be igno-
rant and I'll prove my charges"
Governor Cox received a telegram
from Senator Kenyon, Republican,
Iowa, chairman of the senate cam
paign fund investigating committee,
which resumed its sessions yesterday,

souri,, a Democratic member of the
Kenyon committee, a telegram the
night before promising to transmit
information in the near future.
In addition to the information to
be given to the committee, Governor

Declaring that he did not expect
to testify before the senate commit
tee. Governor Cox said:
'T will send matter to the commit
tee later. All of the information I
have will be given to the public and
therefore, I don't see any use in 60
ing before the committee. think also
that the committee will recognize
that as a candidate I should give it
out in such a manner as / see fit, but
I have no disposition, Of course, to
conceal anything from them that I
have myself.
"T will give out my information as
I think the public interest demands
and I think should be the judge as
to when it is to be "iven. !"

BURIED NEGRO'S
BODY EXHUMED
Rumors Of Foul Play
Bring Throng to
Funeral

The funeral of Henry Brookins,
who died Saturday evening at his
home at sol Lindsey Alley, held Mon
day, was one of the largest ever held
in Americus. Not that Henry was
the most popular colored citizen or
a member of the largest number of
lodges. But there were rumors that
he had met foul play through be-
ing given poisoned whisky, and hun
dreds of those who attended did so
through curiosity. Among the
mourners was his widow, Malinda
Brookins, who according to report
among the colored population, had
told male acquaintances Saturday
night because she would be a widow
after that time. Whatever the
facts, the rumors brought a full at
tendance at the funeral.
But when Henry was buried he
did not stay buried, and there were
prospects today that he would be
honored with a second burial, his
body having been exhumed from its
resting place in the cemetery this
morning.
1t was yesterday afternoon that
the undertaken appeared at Ine OF
fee of City Clerk and asked for a
burial permit. Mr.. Eldridge, having
heard of the rumors, told him ne
would not issue burial permit un-
til he had investigated the case. The
undertaken did not return for the
permit and the funeral was held as
scheduled without it. This morning
Mr.. Eldridge summoned the under
taker and Informed him that he was
a violator of the law and would have
to bear the consequences, whereupon
the said undertaken hied himself to
the cemetery and brought the body
back to the morgue where it is be-
ing held pending the issuance Of a
permit.
In the meantime Sheriff Harvey
has been conducting an inquiry for
evidence. He has found plenty of ru-
mors and reports, but not sufficient
small amount of whiskey was found
information to warrant an arrest. A
where Henry died, but his widow was
the only one with him at the time
and it has not been established, even
though it contains poison that she
gave it to him. But the case is the
talk of the colored population.

ises outside of these hours without

Everette Schneider. 1t was stated that
a police officer has already been de-
tailed to the ground in the evening
to see that these hours are enforced

morning tennis games or for other
use of the grounds on exceptional
occasions in daylight hours, it was
said. The hours do not apply to the
clubhouse, which is frequently used

When not in use for such meetings, it
is kept locked.

board of directors today that it was
understood that the Fairgrounds are
not to be used for the playing of
baseball on Sunday.

With the com ing of the New Year, Alaska will ex- perience a change in the policy of the government.

 These people will be of a different type from those who have been com ing. The majority of them will come to Alaska to settle. They will visit the different communities before they de- eide to settle down. It behooves us to greet them all with open arms. Tell them the bare facts. Nothing more. Nothing less and let them choose of their own free will as to where they will live. Let us make one of our New years resolution be, "Get together and stay together" What say?
