CORN MARKET AND
ELEVATOR PLANNED

A movement was launched Thurs
day by the Atlanta Commercial Ex-
change to establish facilities in At
lanta for marketing the very large
surplus of corn produced in Georgia
this year.
J. w. Bachnan, president Of the
exchange, has just reported to
the directors the results of an
investigation of the different an
giles of the situation, which he has
been making several weeks. and was
requested by the directors to pro-
coed with the movement with all pos
sible dispatch, which he will do.
Two things are necessary, said Mr..
Bachman Thursday, to give the farm
ers of Georgia adequate facilities
for marketing their surplus of corn
and any other grains they may pro-
duce. These are:
1. A contract market, or grain eX-
change, where authoritative prices
rejecting the general grain market
are quoted daily, and where buyers
and sellers may be brought together.
2. A grain elevator, where corn
produced in Georgia, and oats and
other grains, may be shucked she'll
ed, graded, stored and warehouse re-
ceipts issued.
Details of Movement
Discussing the details of the move
ment, Mr. Bachman said:
Georgia this year has produced
nearly 9O,000,O0O bushels of corn,
placing her among the first ten corn
states of the union. We have never
elaborated in this state our facilities
for marketing our surplus corn crop,
and now we find our farmers con-
fronted with marketing problem.

WOMAN IS HELD
IN PLOT To HELP
CONVICT s ESCAPE
Saws and Picks Found on
W, w, Byrd, Wanted in
Oregon, Lead to Arrest of
Wife

What is believed to have been
plot to effect the escape OF a con-
vict being transported to Oregon,
was foiled by the Atlanta police
Thursday morning when they found
two hack saws and two lock picks
concealed in the clothing Of the pris-
oner, just before he started to the
railroad station with deputy from
the Oregon state prison.
w. w. Byrd, alias Or. c. Howard
Childs," a few days ago completed
a two-year term in the Atlanta fed
eral prison. He is wanted in Oregon
to begin a five-year sentence for OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses,
having made his getaway in that
pealed to the higher courts.
In addition to his two-year sem
tence in the federal penitentiary,
Byrd had $1,000 fine hanging over
him and his refusal to pay it or take
the pauper's oath hampered the au-
thorities in securing his transfer to
Oregon, although a deputy spent
several days in Atlanta trying to
arrange the matter. Thursday morn
ing the situation was cleared up by
the federal court authorities and the
deputy prepared to take his prisoner
back to the Pacific coast.
Wednesday night the Oregon Of
ficer and secret service agents APP
pealed to Chief Of Detectievs A. La
mar Poole, for assistance to break up
an alleged conspiracy to effect Byrd's
escape. They declared that the con-
vict's wife, who has been living in
Atlanta at 81 East Alexander street,
had arranged to have her husband
rescued by confederates while en-
route to Oregon.
Early Thursday morning the de-
tectives searched Byrd just before
he was taken in charge by the Ore
gon deputy. They found two hack
saws concealed in his undershirt
and two lock picks hidden in his
shoes. The implements were appar-
emily for use in Kidding the prisoner
of his handouts somewhere aeons
the road.
Mrs. Ryrd, who is said to be q
woman pr considerable wealth, IS pc
ing held at the Fulton county>jail
on a charge Of suspicion, as the po-
lice say she was the only person to
visit Byrd since he was released from
the federal prison.
She is said by federal officers to
have aided her husband to escape
from Jail in" Oregon while his case
was being appealed to the higher
courts. Byrd has a long criminal
record, according to the police, who
say that he has served time in sew
eral states on convictions for lar
ceny, swindling games, violation Of
the narcotic laws and other offenSes.

Oral Clemency Pleas
OFFS. J. Kirby's Wife
Not to Be Considered

COLUMBIA. S. c., Sept. 15.-Mrs.
S. J. Kirby's oral plea for executive
clemenc yfor her husband yesterday,
made to Governor Cooper, will not
have official consideration. 1t was
stated at the governors office to-
day that unless a petition is filed
with the executive no consideration
could be given to the plea for Glenn
ency.
Mrs. Kirby and her 11-year-old
daughter called on the governor and
asked that he change the sentence
from death to life imprisonment, as
her husband had often been subject
to temporary periods of insanity.

SHARP REPLY FROM
BROWN To GOMPERS

The controversy between Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor, who is visiting
Atlanta, and Ex-Governor Joseph M.
Brown, Of Marietta, precipitated by
the publication Thursday morning Of
sensational statement from the for
mer governor attacking the veteran
labor chieftain, developed new inter-
est Friday, when Ex-Governor Brown
made a rejoinder to the counter at
tack which Mr.. Gompers delivered in
the course Of an address Thursday
morning and again at banquet
Thursday night.
Governor Browns original state
ment charged Mr.. Gompers with be-
ing accessory before and after the
fact to several murders alleged to
have occurred during the course Of
industrial strikes in various parts OF
the country.
Mr.. Gompers, replying to these
charges excoriated the former COVER
nor and challenged him to present his
evidence to a grand jury, declaring
that failure to take such action made
.
ing an accessory. The labor chief
also ridiculed Governor Browns
charges and challenged the accuracy
of his information.
"Mr. Gompers asks how I know
these murders have been committed
by organized labor" said ex-Gov-
ernor Brown Friday morning. How
do L know that LLOYD George is pre-
mier of Great Britain? How do L
know that President Harding plays
golf? How do L know anything that
tran9pires in the world?
Through the columns Of the pub
lie press, the source Of all our gen
eral information on world events.
Three men have been killed and 9TH
ers wounded in incendiary wrecks on
the A. B. & 4. railroad since the
strike was called several months ago;
That's something else L nave learned
through the newspapers.
"Mr. GomperS comes TO Georgia anG
saws not a word in condemnation of
the Infamous scoundrels who have
been wrecking trains and killing men
engaged in the performance OF their
duties
Saws Gompers Is Afraid
"He leaves that subject unmen-
toned and carefully avoids discus
sing so delicate matter-dellcate
from his point of view. AS to his
responsibility in the case, let me ask
him this question: is not a mem
Der of an organization which puts
into effect program which results
in the killing and wounding Of lnno-
cent persons guilty of being an &C
cessory before the fact"
Let Mr.. Gompers go into the
courts if he wants recourse against
me. He dares not do it, despite his
clustering. He and his organization
can't stand an investigation in tn
courts
"As former governor Of this
state, 1 am bound in honor to pro-
tect it's people. I have sent and am
still sending to congress sworn af-
fidavits and other legal evidence
showing crimes committed by or
ganized labor Mr.. Gompers has
failed of his purpose if he thought
to intimidate me into silence"
