selves.
There isn't much petulance mani
fest over the absence of the Presi-
dent at a time when he himself op-
posed a recess of Congress. On the
other hand, Mr.. Harding doesn't
want to keep Congress here continu-
ously. He has said again and again
that as soon as the tariff bill is pass
ed by the House and tax bill franz
ed in the lower House, recess would
be desirable. But as Congressman
Jim Mann~of Illinois, veteran Repub-
lican leader, said the other day 1.-The
sooner the House passes a tariff bill
the worse it will be- Mr.. Mann be-
heves that hastily passed legislation
is bad legislation and seems to think
members of both houses would do
better if they went home for two
or three weeks vacation and came
back to business refreshed and ready
for the long siege ahead. The late
Speaker Champ Clark once remarked
that ne believed hereafter Congress
would stay in almost continuous ses-
sion throughout the year, and mem
bers of Congress like other folks
want chance to rest from their Ia
bors. A recess of Congress is likely
to be agreed upon within another
fortnight-probably after the Presi-
dent gets back to Washington. The
departure of the Executive on a ten
day vacation has set precedent
which many members of Congress
feel might be applied to them too.

amendment. Individual loans would
require the War Finance Corporation
to have 250,0O0 employees for inves-
tigation. That the direct, indiH iiual
loan plan was impracticahie, un-
workable and preposterous' was as
serted by Senator Simmons. Sena-
tor Lenroot said that the original
Norris bill did not contemplate di-
rect loans to individual farmers.
That the amendment would ,"get
the farmer out of the bill altogeth-
err was asserted by Senator LaFol-
lette, who said it would give benefits
principally to parasites who prey
on the farmers Banks and trust
companies would be the principal
beneficiaries, he added. Senator
Ashurst said the farmers would be
''torpedoed' and relief given mainly
to "banks gorged with improvident
loans.'
! The Harrison amendment was
adopted without a record vote or
particular opposition. Senator Har-
rison said the Farm Loan Board had
applications for loans aggregating
$3.50, 100000 and only SIS, 900
available for them, due to the in
ability to market bonds.
Senator Norris part in initiating
the legislation was praised by sew
eral Senators during the debate
Senator Kenyon, Republican, Iowa,
said he had started the agricultural
credits legislation and worked while
other Senators "were pursuing the
festive golf ball. Senator Ashurst,
and Senator Hef1in, Democrat, Ala,
also praised Mr.. Norris who is on a
sick bed after collapse during the
fight for the legislation.

WOMAN PASSES

Aunt Mary Hagan a very highly
respected colored woman died Satur-
day morning on the plantation of the
late Mr.. Billie Woodard. Aunt Mary
was the wife of uncle Lawrence Hag-
an. Aunt Mary and Uncle Lawrence
have certainly set good example for
their race, they moved on Mr.. Wood
ards farm in the year of 1881 and
have been there ever since which
was forty years ago. Aunt Mary was
a great help mate to her husband,
they reared a large family of thir-
teen children on the farm. This wom-
an was truly remarkable character,
her physical strength and endurance
were surpassed only by her good
character. Many the time when grass

she summon her corps of husky work

North Carolina collegian, not only
is proving a great asset in the box
for the Rochester club. but his hit
ting also is a feature of the games
he takes part in. On the work he
has done to date he is one of the
finds of the year and he doesn't ap-.
pear to need the seasoning for the
New York Yankees that he is get
ting with Rochester" Murray is re-
membered very favorably here be-
cause of his great work while in
school at A. & E. College. He was
considered the premier college twirl-
er in the State and he also featured
all games played in by his terrific
hitting. In the Trinity game this
season he hit two home runs in a
single contest, and was directly re-
sponsible for winning his own game.
/ Judge Lands, Baseball Commits

Chicago ball players accused of
throwing the 1919 worlds series Will
not be allowed to participate in or

stand in face of the fact that Chi

baseball ought to- protect itself

doing, and that organized ball is

There isn't single fair minded per-
son who would take the opposite

Bill Meehan pitched one of his
regular games yesterday.
When Bill is right there isn't a
pitcher in this neck of the woods
that has single thing on him. The
two hits gafnered off his delivery
were both made by Zilenziger, and
II must be remembered that lilly
secured his training right here in
Wilson.
Al all times he takes rather kind
Iy to Wilson pitching. 1t must be
natural affection for things that he
long to Wilson. Yesterday he Sc
cured two hits, and the day before
he made four. Six hits in two
games, when one of them is short
ened affair is going some.
Again it was Heads trusty will
low that was responsible. His two

Meehan pitching air tight ball.
Rasty again came to the front in
the hitting line. He seems to have
gotten his eye back again, and when

League that can keep pace with him.
But for that matter the entire

prediction that a road trip inst at

is TO be hoped that the prediction

preparation of $4,000 for the main
tenance of a mothers pension by the
state died in the Senate Monday, when
it failed by two votes of getting the
required number of twepty-one to
pass. But even before the Senate roll
call was taken the bill had been ef-
fectually killed by reason of the house
of representatives having already ad-
journed.
Under the law all measures carry
ing appropriations must be in the
hands of the governor five. days be-
fore the final adjournment of legis-
lative session. Monday was the last
night on which the mothers pension
bill could have passed. Amendments
to the Tobin bill already had been
adopted by the Senate and had the
bill finally passed Monday night it
would have been necessary for it to
have gone to the House for concur
renee In the Senate amendments.
Three minutes before the Senate roll
call began on the bin the House ad-
journed and the bill already died at

HANGINGS IN FRANCE

overseas, recently made in the United
States Senate by Senator Watson of
Georgia, were denied here by Col. Will
liam o. Gilbert, who had charge Of
death, dismissal and penitentiary cases
at the American Expeditionary Force
headquarters at Chaumont, France.
There is not one word of truth in
the tale Of these executions" Col
Gilbert was quoted as saying. IF
remember rightly, there were about
10 men executed in France" adding
that the death penalty was not infiict-
ed except for murder and criminal
assault.
IF these brutal hangings of men
without trial had occurred" he said,
''rumOrs of them would have reached
our Office, even though we would have
no official record Of such things.
Not one man was executed for mill
tary offenses. There was no man
more careful to see that a soldier was
not executed except on proof positive
Of his guilt than General Pershing. He
took extreme care and personally went
over every case, turning down a great
many of them"
Col. Gilbert is judge advocate of the
eighth army corps area, with head.
quarters at Fort Sam Houston.
