DANCE OF LAST EVENING
LOVELY AFFAIR

One of the loveliest home dances
imaginable was that given Tuesday
evening by Miss Queenelle Harold at
her home on College street, compA-
menting her house guests who are
with her this week. The entire lower
floor was thrown into one long
apartment, which was graced with
palms, ferns and summer flowers ar
ranged against the wall in vases and
pockets. Crepe myrtle, pink roses and
pink gladoli were used with tasteful
profusion throughout the dancing
space, and in the dining room pref
ty color scheme of yellow was effec-
ted with the use of brOwn-eyed Su-
sans and yellow cannas. Yellow shad-
ed candles added to the scene, while
the frocks worn by the young girls
present were notably pretty.
Miss Harold, the young hostess,
wore a dress composed of a oom5;ra-
ton of pink and green chiffon in del
icate shades. Miss Lauline Hendrick
was charming in a dress of black sat
in with blue sequins, while the frock
worn by Miss Susie Minis was of
delicate shade of green and built of
taffeta. Miss Mildred Dismukes was
very striking in lace dress made
over blue satin, and Miss Geraldine
Goodroe wore a yellow taffeta with
trimmings of black.
Punch was served on the side porch
by Miss Alice Harold, wearing a
dainty frock of yellow or"ardie, as
sisted by Miss Frances SILVER who
wore an organize in the orchid color.
Ferns and palms made this especially

pean missions they will tour France,
Belgium, Holland, Sweden, Norway,
Germany, Austria, Czecho-Slovakia,
Italy, Switzerland, Spain, Hungary,
Rumania, Bulgaria, and Greece. If
conditions permit they will visit Con-
stantinople and the Near East and
then go to Egypt and India on their
way to the Far East, to visit China
and Japan.
The Commission, which was au-
thorized at the recent session of the
Southern Baptist convention at
Washington, will seek to accomplish
the following purposes:
To carry greetings to the Baptists
in all the lands to be visited; to con-
fer with leaders in thought and pub
lie on European conditions; to ex-
pound American principles and ideals
and to learn everything possible
about missionary needs.

MRS. SMITH HOSTESS
AT PARTY THURSDAY

Mrs. Charles Smith was hostess
Tuesday afternoon at her home near
Americas for a few friends. Two
tables were placed in the living room

Susans were charmingly arranged in
vases and wall pockets. Forty-two was
the interesting game played, at the
conclusion of which a frozen salad
was served with tea. Those playing
were Miss Evelyn st. John, Miss
Edith Cobb, Miss Autry St. John,
Miss Hannah Little, Mrs. Con Griffin,

Crisp's Fine Training.


Should Kitchin decline to run for
the place, Judge Crisp's fine train
ing as parliamentarian Would
stand him in good stead and give
him something of an advantage q
a contest. AS parliomentarian I'M
der Speaker Clark before he came
to congress and later as parliamen-
tartan of the Baltimore convention,
he has made quite a reputation
among the convention and legisla-
tive authorities on procedure.
Some members of the house be-
lieve tina Speaker Clark will again
seek to honor. A majority of
those who have been discussing the
matter lately do not entertain this
view. This is especially true of the
younger membership of the house,
who would revolt against Speaker
Clark just as the Republicans re-
vdlted against Cannon some years
agO-although for entirely differ
ent reasons. Even his close friends
in the house say the Missourian is
prone to sleep too much and 10
discourage the young members from
making speeches.
There is added hope for Judge
Crisp in the possibility that Mr..
Kitchin may be content to remain
majority leader of the house under
Democratic control and retire four
years from now to make a race for
the United States senate against the
senior senator from North Carolina
Furnifold M. Simmons. Such is in
the air.

HATLEY TO PLAY
HERE THURSDAY
Americas Loses Weird
Game to Cordele
9 to z

In as weird and sad a baseball
game as that of last Friday was
superb, Americas lost to Cordele in
seven inning contest on the local
grounds Tuesday afternoon by a
score of 9 to 7. The game ,was
not without its thrills and flashes
of good playing, however, as for in
stance John Wheatley's resounding
homer to left field in the sixth in
ming after the score had stood APP
parently hopelessly 81 for. couple
of innings and the Amerlcus team
seemed to have gone to pieces. Two
men were on bases when John sent
the ball far over Gould's head and
three runs romped in. In the next
inning Aumericus scored three more
runs and missed a fourth by inches
Tommy Hooks, running on an err
ror on the part of Cordele's third
baseman, who dropped the ball on
a throw to catch him running on a
passed ball, being nipped at the
plate. -,
The Cordele players started the
game in a bad mood, the Amencus
team being half an hour late as
sembling and causing the visitors to
wait about with rain threatening and
a long trip home facing them. When
things were going badly for them IN
the seventh, and one or two decls-
ions of Umpire Jennings had been
vigorously protested, they decided. to
quit and at the end of the inning
walked off the field, declaring it
was too dark to play, despite the
fact that the Amencus team desired
to continue. Their contention was
not without merit, however.
Most of the runs on each SIDE
were made on err2rs, although some
good clouting was Gone
The remainder of the series be-
tween Cordele and Americas was call
cd off last evening by mutual con-
sent, Americas being unable to meet
the engagement in Cordele today and
Cordele desiring to transfer the pro
posed game Thursday to that city
which was refused by Americus. This
afternoon Manager Cogdell, OF the
Amerlcus team, announced that the
fast Hatley team, which has been
playing excellent ball this season
would meet the Americas team here

officials. will be shaped to a certain
extent by the attitude taken by the
rebels.
A lack of unanimity as to the con-
stitution that will be approved by the
rebels if they win, already has been
forecasted by the statements of those
connected with the anti-Carranza
movement. Obreson has declared
himself in favor of the plan of Aqua
Prieta,' which provides for the adop-
ton of the constitution of 1917, but
the provisional president, Adolfo de
La Huerta, has announced that en-
dorsement of the plan should be only
after sharp revision. Others have
expressed the opinion that it would
be better to set it aside entirely and
adopt a revision of the constitution of
1857, which went into the discard as a
result OF Carranza's triumph over
Hucrta.
Rebels Plans Are Complete.
The progress of the revolution
movement already is such that the
rebels are planning an early compile
ton OF their program which calls for
the selection of a provisional resident
when Mexico City is occupied and a
majority of the states have adopted
the plan of Aqua Prieta." The nam
ing of De La Huerta as an acting
president and the selection of an act
ing cabinet has been explained as
merely preliminary and done for the
purpose of organization.
Inc plan provides for the selection
of a supreme commander" of the
army within sixty days of before June
20 The more optimistic rebel lead
ers insist that unless such a leader is
chosen quickly the choice of provis-
lonal president may be made first
Official and unofficial advices agree
in general that revolutionary forces
are appearing with startling rapidity
in almost all parts of the country, and
that steps toward their coordination
are well under way.
Army officers here who have been
studying the situation do not agree
with the optimistic claims of some of
the rebel leaders that Mexico City will
be taken within a week or ten days,
but they are convinced that Carranza
will experience difficulty in extricating
himself.
The only available information from
Mexico City was that he was making
a determined effort to get under way
an expedition toward the north to re-
inforce the garrison at Torreon toward
which the rebels in Chihuahua were
reported to be moving but unofficial
reports were that the federals there
already had raised the flag of revolt
and placed their commander, Gen.
Cesario Castro, under arrest.

EAST SCOFFED AT GOV. COX
Entire Ohio and Kentucky Dele.
cations Turn the Tide.
Bryan Almost Out of the Run
ning-Has Only Ten Votes.
By HAROLD d. IAcoRs

| New York. May 6-The principal
| topic of conversation in Democratic
circles Just now is Gov. James NJ. Cox
of Ohio.
| Persons who have a habit of keen
ing their ears to the political ground
| declare they hear a perceptible rumble
emanating from the middle west that
IS bound to grow in volume.
| The boom for the Ohio state exec
utlve is not exactly new but blase east
erners refused to take Cox seriously
until they suddenly came to the reali-
zatlon that he was far in the lead of
all Democratic rivals for the presiden-
tial nomination, as regards Instructed
delegates, and that he was being re-
garded favorably by several unin-
structed delegations.
Cox Now Leads List.
Cox's acquisition of both the Ohio
and Kentucky delegations en- bloc has
made the present standing in the Dem
-ocratic race, on the basis of instructed
delegates:
Cox, IA; Herbert Hoover, So; Gov
ernor Edwards, IS; Senator owen. 20;
Senator Hitchcock, 16; Bryan, 10;
James w. Gerard, 10.
Politicians still regard ". G. Nc
Adoo as possessing the greatest pres
ent strength among the Democratic
possibilities, but Cox's chances have
still been further enhanced by the eff
forts of his friends to effect a com
bination with Edwards. The latter is
said to believe he has no chance for
nomination and is anxious to throw
what strength he may have to a can
didate that is at least damp" Ed
wards's followers believe Cox comes
within this category.
McAdoo Is Favored.
The resent standing of Democratic
candidates, counting both instructed
delegates and claims to uninstructed
delegations would be: McAdoo, 131;
Edwards, lis; Cox, 100; Hoover. Al;
Attorney General Palmer, SO; Champ
Clark, Sc; Secretary of Agriculture
Meredith, IS; State Senator Simmons
Hitchcock, 16; Bryan. 10; Gerard, 10.
If Edwards's present indicated
strength were swung to Cox it is OBJ
vious the latter would be leading his
nearest rival by 21S to 1S1. These
figures, however, are too small to
convention where 72S votes are neces-
sary for a, choice. "a
Democratic state conventions were
being held in Connecticut and Rhode
Island. The former has. IA and the
latter 10 delegates Edwards, McAdoo
about equal strength in those states
which were expected to pick unrledged
delegations. -s7-
Political observers also were point
ing to the speech of Homer S. Cum
mings, Democratic national chairman
at the opening of the state convention
in New Haven, Conn. last night, as
indicative of the keynote" address
Cummings is expected to make as
chairman of the national convention at
San Francisco. He emphasized the
alleged opposition of Republican lead
ers to progressive legislation enacted
during the Democratic administration
and endorsed President Wilson's in
ternational policies.

PLEAS FOR IRISH LIBERTY
Rev. Maurice Murphy Says America
Has Debt to Pay.

Much Irish blood has been shed in
winning and maintaining the indepen-
dence of the United Sates-now Amer
lea can pay her debt to Ireland by
recognizing the Irish Republic, Rev.
Maurice F. Murphy, of Toledo, told
his audience at the mass meeting in
the Memorial building Wednesday
night.
The Rev. Mr.. Murphy declared that
during the last few years the British
government has spent millions of dol
lars in anti-Irish and anti-Catholic
propaganda in this country. He scored
the Methodist church for passing reso-
lutions at the Des Moines conference
against the recognition of Ireland by
America. He denounced the action as
absolutely un-American and pro-
British"
Gov. Henry Allen declared that
while America is not ready to go to
war with England, the Irish are surely
entitled to Americas fullest measure
of sympathy" The Rev. Mr.. Murphy
spoke for two hours. He was fire.
quently interrupted by applause. P.
H. Coney, local chairman, presided at
