Attempt At Suicide Is Made
By Mrs. George W. Sharp
AT State Hospital
IS MADE VERY ILL;
NOW is RECOVERING
Husband Is Called From Mt.
Vernon To Columbus, Mon.
day, By Message

An attempt at suicide made Sunday
afternoon by Mrs. LouelIa Sharp in
the state hospital at Columbus called
her husband, George w. Sharp of Mt.
Vernon, to the state capital city Mon.
day. Mrs. Sharp drank a large guam
tity Of iodine and for a time was
aIarmingly iII but now is. thought to
be recovering.
Sunday noon, while the nurses and
attendants at the hospital were giving
their attention to the patients in the
dining room, Mrs. Sharp, according to
a report given to Mr.. Sharp, eluded
their vigilence and made her way to
the medicine cabinet. She found a
bottle containing iodine and drank
the entire contents, nearly pint, 1t
is said. Following the drinking of
the medicine the burning in her
mouth, throat and stomach so distress
ed her that Mrs. Sharp went into the
kitchen where she procured for her
self some milk which she drank. This
appears to have had the effect of an
emetic and the iodine was elected
from the stomach.
When found by the attendants Mrs.
Sharp was fast becoming exceedingly
sick. When the attendants learned
! the cause stomach pump was used
and the stomach thoroughly cleaned
out The effect of the potion taken
was to make her deathly i'll. At one
time she was so close to death that
the pulse could not be detected.
After some hours the patient rallied
and Monday some reinsurance was
given Mr.. Sharp when he visited the
institution. He had received no wore
from Columbus Tuesday morning ant
believes for that reason that Mrs
Sharp now is on the way to recovery
Since being taken to Columbus fol
treatment I'm the state hospital las
summer Mrs. Sharp is reported {,
have shown material Improvement il
her physical condition. Her menta
condition, however. was not improved
Her chief desire is to return to he
home in Mt. Vernon.
The friends of Mrs. Sharp here will
be distressed to learn of this attemp
made by her on her life. They will
be pleased to learn that she now i
improving and continue to hope tina
she may be entirely recovered of he
malady.

share with the team the confidence

the committee of seven authorized by
the above resolution including himself
as one of that committee. He named
as the committee members f. W..
Kahrl, l.. C. Penn, r. w. Colville, H..

This committee will meet, Chairman
Kahrl announced Wednesday, on next
Monday afternoon, Nov. 81, at 100
o'clock at the Knox Building & Loan
office. 1t will be their duty under
the terms of the authority given to
select five persons to serve as trus-
tees.
Speaking of the meeting held Tues
day afternoon Chairman Kahrl said
it was not a general stockholders
meeting but one called by a group for
the purpose Of presenting their plan.
They had excluded certain individuals
not because of personal hostility, but
because It was felt they represented
another group.
The claim is made, however, by
members of the rival group that they
did, nevertheless, succeed in getting
representatives into the meeting and
are informed as to the plans and pur-
poses of the leaders of the group
Criticism of the plan proposed at the
Tuesday meeting is being offered by
several persons. 1t is asserted that
the Knox Tire & Rubber Co., 3d.
900 900 corporation is over-capitalized.
Only preferred stock was sold, COM
mon being given to purchasers OF pre-
ferred stock as bonus. The common
SlOCh lS DIdCIlCdly oO hiuSh Wo1N''
1t is the plan of the Spencer group
to organize an entirely new company
to buy and to operate the plant. This
company will have a smaller capital
ization and all water eliminated. The
plan contemplates additional subscrip-
tions and which is the objection chief
ly raised by the other group. Those
who cannot afford to subscribe more
to save what they have put in, will
lose all their investment save what
may be returned to them pro rata
from what may be realized by the sale
of the plant and after the payment of
the debts.
The Spencer group claim to repre-
sent very considerable majority of
the stockholders outside of Knox coun-
ty. They have taken no steps to pre-
sent their plans to the local interests
Until recently the Spencer plan was
the only looking to serve the stock
holders interests that had been pre-
sented. It's promoters claim they have
been securing the support of those t.
whom they have addressed themselves
more readily and more rapidly thar
they had anticipated.

Auburn, May Especial. )-At least four of the members = thIs years Auburn team are out of col lege ball for good--J ohnston. Barnes and Ollinger have all played their time out, and are through. regardless. They came to Auburn, all of them very young. when the war broke up--the best team that Auburn had ever had up to that time. That team included such players as Milligan, Griffin. Ducote, Suggs, Hairston, Bonner, etc. Johnston had chunked some at Leroy, Ala, and Barnes has played third base some in the same neighborhood
 Johnston showed that he had something from the start, while Barnes was, from a kid clcse student of the game, so he was shifted to second These two have been thought well enough of by competent judges to get signed up for a big league tryout. Detroit was their choice, so they are going there.
 Charlie Ollinger Is considering several propositions, and will ac- cept one of them in a few days. He is also thought by competent judges to have a bright future. As he had practically nothing in the way of pitching ability VI .en he started at Auburn, he has not had the ex- perience that Johnson has had, but has come to the fore with rush

Saturday will be the big day for Bir- mingham travelling men, for on that day the Travellers Protective association and United Commercial Travellers baseball teams clash in their annual struggle for diamond supremacy of the city, at least for the championship of their profession.
 Charlie Abrams. who has charge Of ar engagements for the big game, announces that everything is in readiness for the struggle and that each organization will place team of great strength upon the field Saturday, The line-ups are not ready yet. Abrams says, but in day or so the rival managers will be. able to give out their batting orders for Sat urday's encounter.
 As in the past. this years baseball game will be benefit affair, the pro- ceeds of Saturdays game to go to the Boys Industrial school band.
 Much interest has been aroused over the T. P. A.-U c. T. game and large attendance should feature Saturday s struggle The ticket committee an nounces that already large number of the pasteboards have been disposed of and that many others will be sold this week. These two organizations always usually play good games.
 | Rivalry between the T. F. A. and U. 0. T. representatives is very keen and, with each team working out regularly in preparation for Saturdays battle. in- dications are pointing to a successful ak fair at Redwood.

Oil We'll Magnate Enters Two Cars
 of Own Making

Indianapolis, May 9.-A bubbling oil
 we'll on farm in Oklahoma is the story in the background of the two Junior Spe-
 cial six-cylinder racing cars entered in the 500-mile race to be held at the In-
 dianapolis motor speed way Monday
 May 30 The two cars arrived at the track yesterday. and Riley J. Brett, one of the drivers, took a trial spin.
 c. l.. Richards is the man with the
 money in the Junior Special story and when he was but IS years old was trans formed from poor youth into a wealthy oil operator when oil was found on land in his possession. Years before he had dreamed of speedy racing car to be his very own. and two years ago. after he had placed his business on an cs-
 tablished basis he built two cars, one of which finished eleventh in race at Indianapolis. Richards is but 25 years
 old and went to school with Brett the
 captain of the team, who was mechan- ically bent. and who has been dickering
 with motors as long as he can remember.
 Brett got his start in racing when he was 21 years old, riding as mechanician at race at Sioux City. No expense has
 been spared in building the two racing pets of MT. Richards. and virtually every
 piece of the mechanism in the cars is handmade, cast and fitted in MT. Rich ards own machine shop.
 We are not positive as to what our highest speed will be-" said MT. Rich ards, but 1t is certainty that either of these cars will do 115 miles an hour" The entire Junior Special outfit is youthful. Richards is 25, Brett a year young and the mechanician, Harry C. Henning, is a chubby-faced youth.
