ALBANY, Jan. 17.-Rev. AL
len c. Shuler, newly chosen pas
tor of the Byne Memorial Baptist
church, and a leading minister of
his denomination, will cave Albany

home.
Mr.. Shuler accepted the pastor
ate here under the agreement thai
he was to remain only in the event
of being able to secure a desir-
able house. His efforts in that
line have failed signally and he
has now notified the officers of
the church that he will be unable
to remain longer; in fact, he has
turned in his formal resignation
less than a month after coming
here. The church voted to accept
his resignation with regret.

BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 17.-Eleven
members of Company NJ, Alabama
National Guard-six privates-are
in jail here today charged with the
lynching of William Baird, a miner
at Jasper last week.
First reports were that one OF
them had made a confession, but this
proved to be erroneous.
The arrests were ordered by Judge
Horace Wilkerson, special solicitor,
who is conducting an investigation
into the lynching of Baird.
Company NJ was ordered to its
home barracks at Tuscaloosa from
Townley, near the scene Of the
lynching, Immediately after Baird
was taken from the Walker county
Jail by masked men and shot to
death. Baird was held in connection
with the killing of Private James
Morris, of Company NJ on the night
of December %.

WALTER GARRETT
SHOT BY NEGRO
Recent Amerlcus Man
Near Death At AL
bany Hospital

SYLVESTER, Jan. 17.--A double
shooting and possibly murder occur
red about noon Saturday, when j. E.
Bryan and Walter Garrett, promi-
nent Worth county farmers, were
shot by Ed Smith, a negro, tenant
on the place of Garrett, four miles
northeast Of Sylvester. and near
Shingler.
Bryant and Garrett noticed that
the negro was about to move off
the place, and as Smith owed them a
considerable account they went to
his house and told him he would have
to make satisfactory arrangements
before moving. Garrett observed
that the negro mad mis- hand on a
pistol in his pocket and told him to
take it out. The negro drew the
gun and shot Garrett in the right
breast and, turning on Bryant, shot
him in the mouth and also in the
back Neither of the white men was
armed.
1t is probable that the shooting Of
both men will prove fatal. They
were taken to hospital at Albany.
After the shooting Smith jumped
into wagon that was waiting to
move him and left.
Bloodhounds were put on trail and
his capture affected few miles from
the scene Sunday about 4:30 o'clock
Sheriff Sumner has carried Smith to
Albany for safekeeping.
The negro was landed in Jail at
Albany after a 40-mile automobile
race, in which the sheriff and his
deputies, with the prisoner, were pur-
sued by a posse of Worth county
citizens bent on lynching him.

SAYS HOUSTON
Secretary OF Treasury Is
Strongly Against Wat
son S Plan
BY II. B. HUNT.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Treas-
ury officials and financial authorities
in Washington decline to consider
seriously Senator-elect Tom Watson's
proposal for making war bonds and
thrift stamps legal tender.
Watson's plan would permit own,
ers of these securities to use them
at their full face value just like bank
notes.
Secretary of Treasury Houston,
asked to analyze the Watson plan,
exclaimed:
"No, no! positively will not -
cannot do it! Why try TO anaIyzc a
hare-brained proposition like that?
One might as well try to talk in a
vacuum. It can't be done"
Sees Disaster.
Houston in his annual report said
at is unnecessary to do more than
suggest the disastrous possibilities of
adding some 20 billions of potential
currently to the country's circula-
ton.
"The currency needs of the coun-
try arc being amply provided for by
the operation Of the federal reserve
system and to give Liberty bonds the
legal tender quality would make
them SO much spending money, pro-
/ duc1 unprecedented initiation of the
currency and fundamentally upset
prices"
Other Effects.
At the office of w. P. G. Hard
ing, governor of the Federal resrve
board, it was decided departmental
! rules forbade comment Privately
| however, it was suggested:
That monetization of "a billions
of war bonds would increase the
circulating media of the country
from $50 to 1924 per capita.
That such tremendous initiation
would Immediately result in a cor,
responding depreciation in the pur.
chasing power Of the dollar and pro-
portionately higher prices.
That consequently the American
dollar, which now occupies a domi-
mating place in world exchange
would slump to a par with the depre,
clat2d European currencies.

VETERANS IN sWEATsHOPs.

The director of the United States War
Veterans bureau suggested recently the
establishment of four national schools
for the training of former service men,
the creation of employment offices to as
sist in placing these men and follow
up system insuring them specialized as
sistance. He believes these innovations
have been made necessary by the evils of
the contract system now in force.
Under the contract system, it is
charged, former service men supposed to
be receiving vocational training are actu-
ally placed out in sweatshops and
mushroom concerns which are taking
advantage of their plight to secure cheap
labor. In some of these plants the men
who have been assigned for training in
specific occupations are performing quite
different work, simply because the en-
ployer sees a chance in this change to
make more money. According to the di-
rector, of 5000 service men represented
as rehabilitated scarcely per cent are
engaged in the work chosen by them and
assigned to them.
There has been so much talk about the
nations failure to care for its disabled
service men that the public is having a
hard time to discriminate between fact
and fiction. Certainly if even a part
of the charges of inefheiency, criminal ne
glect and indifference are true, the GER
emonies planned to honor the unknown
dead" are in danger of being regarded as
a mockery The dead soldiers can best
be honored by dealing both generously
and Justly with the living ones.

An article in the Boston Transcript on
Indian names in New England says that
the reason why Vermont has fewer In
dian names than Massachusetts, Maine or
Connecticut is that the Indians had vir-
tually cleared out of the country before
the white men settled it, and, except in
a few localities, were not present during
the settlement to repeat to the settlers
their own names for places. Among the
Indian names of Vermont mountains,
lakes and rivers are Ascutney, Passump-
sic, Winooski, Pompanoosuc, Quechee,
Bomoseen, Ekwannok, and last but not
least, in the hearts of those who live be-
meath its kindly guardianship, is Wan
tastiquet.
