MURDER PLOT CHARGED
TO GET WIFE AND CASH

plot between two Atlantians by
which a husband would be murdered
so that one of the plotters could
marry the widow and get the victims
insurance money was apparently laid
bare in an arrest made Tuesday.
Thomas Jefferson Harris, twenty
five years old, a carpenter, is lodged
at the Fulton county tower. He is
alleged to be the conspirator who was
to benefit financially and matri-
monially by the proposed crime. He
was arrested after Robert C. Dennis,
also carpenter, had informed the
authorities of the scheme in which
he says he was to receive $500 for
doing the killing.
Mrs. c. G. Fortner the woman in
the case, at whose home Harris has
been boarding, denies all knowledge
Of the plot. She did not even know
that Harris loved her, she declares.
Harris, in his cell, is reported to
have admitted his part in the murder
agreement, but protests that Dennis
was the leading spirit.
Details OF the plot, as reported by
the police, allege that Harris met
Dennis recently while both were
looking for a job. Harris offered
Dennis $500 to kill Fortner, Dennis
says. The $500 was to be secured by
robbing a drug store, according to
Dennis.
A few days ago Dennis told the
intended victim of the situation.
Fortner then ordered Harris to leave
his home and to leave the city. Har-
ris' delay in getting out of town
caused his arrest. He was taken
while waiting for a train at the Ter
minal station.

the Associated Press).-Genera1 Cesar
Lopez Clara, governor of Tamauli.
pas, is taking steps to avoid disorders
in the Tampico oil region due to
unemployment. Upon orders from
President Obregon he has organized
an office to look after the situation.
and is concentrating the unemployed
in this city for the purpose of send
ing them to the interior of the
country.
There are fifteen hundred men. all
ready modified here and six hum
dred left for the interior on Sum
day. being followed by three hun
dred yesterday. The total number
of men out of work does not ex-
coed ten thousand.
Tampico was quiet yesterday and
there was nothing to suggest a crisis
as result of the partial shutdown
of oil operations. The United States
warships Cleveland and Sacramento
were in port, but La Prensa declared
the Sacramento would sail today.
Labor leaders are assisting the
governor in modifying the unem-
ployed throughout the oil regions,
and the Mexican government has
placed at his disposal money, roll~

HARDING PLEADS
FOR POSTPONEMENT
OF SOLDIERS BONUS

WASHINGTON. July ia small
bonus to eX-service men at this time
would be a small palliative to the
millions who are faced with unem-
ployment, President Harding declared
yesterday in asking the senate to de-
lay action on the soldier bonus meas
ure.
1t is unthinkable that the admin
istration could reduce tax burdens
if the treasury is committed to an
obligation of from three to five bill
lions, he also said.
Mr.. Harding declared he would be
ashamed Of the republic if it failed
in it's duty to those who fought to
save it, but he warned that imme-
date action on this menacing eff
fort to expend billions in gratui-
charge our first obligations to those
we must not fail to aid"
He recited the huge expenditures
already made through the war risk
burea ufor disabled soldiers and
promised more at a more suspicious
time.
Three things are essential for re-
turn to normally, the president said:
l. Lower taxes.
2. Refunding of the war debt.
3. Adjustment of foreign loans.
THE overburdening of the treas
ury now means positive disaster in
the years Immediately before u.s."
President Harding warned. interest
prudence calls out in warning.'
He emphasized that congress
should proceed on the tariff and tax
bills for which the special session
was called.
He read his message to the SEN
ate, leaving the White House for
the capitol shortly after the cabinet
NEE ting.
President Harding confessed dis
appointment" that 80 little" had
been done toward reducing wartime
taxes.

EXTRA SESSION Of
LEGISLATURE SEEN

An extra session of the general
assembly to closely follow the regu-
lar session which must adjourn Au-
gust 10 doomed up TuesdaJ- as a prac-
teal certainty in the opinion of
many members of the house and SEN
ate.
Forecasts of an extraordinary ses-
sion were freely made in the senate
chamber and capitol lobbies, and sem
ators in close touch with the admin
istration and political affairs in gen.
eral indicate dthat the predictions
were we'll def1r ed.
Only twenty-one legislative days of
the regular session remain, and sem
ate leaders assert that this will be
insufficient time in which to carry
into effect the program of Governor
Hardwick for the readjustment of
xation of the taxation system-his
two principal recommendations in his
initial message, and two of the plat
form planks on which he was elect
ed last fall.
Senator Frank Manson, of the
Thirty-fifth district, which embraces
Atlanta, expressed the belief that it
will be out of the question for the
financial reorganization legislation
proposed by the governor to be han
died during the remaining days or
the regular session. and that the
r
will be imperative The senator's
opinion carries with it considerable
weight, in view of the fact that he
is one yof the leaders of the upper
house, as well as one of Governor
Hardwick's floor leaders.
Il hope an extra session will not
be necessary" said Herbert Clay,
president of the senate. commenting
on the rumors which flew thick and
fast during the day. He said the
senate was marking time" until the
house sent up revenue bills-which
must originate therefor action, and
that he stood ready to hold sessions
day and night in an effort to ward
off the necessity for an extra ses-
sion. -.-.-.
1.-THE senate's calender is clear. and
we are waiting on the house., he
said.
While numbers of senators pre-
dicted an extra session would be nee
essary, none of them were enthusiast
tic over the prospect. The majority
of them declared they desired to get
through within the allotted fifty days
If possible and return to their homes.
Senator B. 2. Walker, of the SEN
ate committee on finance and appro-
| priations, declared an extra session
this year would be hard blow to. the
state treasury at time when every
effort is being made to bolster it up.
4 at is true that we have only 81 days
4 left, and a great deal to do in that
time, and it may be that the extra
session will be necessary-but I GER
\ tainly hope not" he said.
Another subject of considerable
gossip Tuesday was a bill introduce
ed in the house last week and subse-
quently reported favorably by a COM
mittee, providing for biennial ses-
sions of the general assembly. Many
advocates of the measure were dis
covered among members of both
houses, and it was believed by many
thta the measure has a good chance
of passage at this session.
