Republicans Planning
To Build New Party
ORGANIZATION In South

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Repub
lican party chieftains are laying ex-
tensive plans to build up a new par
ty organization in the south, based
on a greater white representation, it
was learned here today.
At the congressional elections one
year hence, this new organization,
they hope will extend Republican
foothold in the south, which was
gained when President Harding
broke down the opposition in many
old-line Democratic strongholds
last year.
John T. Adams, national chair
man, said today he had noted many
favorable reactions in the south to
President Harding's recent Birming,
ham speech, which is believed here
to have been the carefully aimed
opening gun of an intensive cam
paign to build up the party below
the Mason and Dixon line.

CAIRO AROUSED BY
(. BURNING Of SCHOOL

CAIRO, Ca, Nov. 3.-Officials to-
day were almost confident that the
fire, which last night completely de-
stroyed the temporary school build
ing, erected following the destruc-
ton by fire of the permanent build
ing, exactly twenty-nine days ago,
and occupied only last Monday, was
the work of an incendiary, and it
appears likely that a rigid investi-
cation will be made at once.
The temporary structure was an
eighteen room frame building, made
entirely of wood and was A by 210
feet, one floor.
Flames were discovered last night
at o'clock in a room on the back
side of the building, and the first
person who reached the scene found
window open. At this time the
flames had gone little beyond the
one room, but so fast did they spread
that in five minutes the whole
building was a mass of flames and
the firemen were helpless. All parts
of the building were broken into
and two pianos and about $1,000 in
school books and supplies were saw
ed. The building was erected at
cost of approximately $4,000 and
about $4,000 in insurance was car
ried, some Of it being on the fur
nishings. The financial loss to the
school district will not be so great,
but the loss in time to the students
will be incalculable. Many of those
who entered the burning building
first say positively that they could
smell kerosene or gasoline burning,
and the blackness of the smoke was
partial evidence of this, but the Of
ficials cannot account for the fire
being the work Of an incendiary,
because there is no anti-school agi-
tation in the community, the belief
is expressed now, however, that the
first building was also purposely set
on fire and the origin of this fire
will also be investigated.
The board of trustees have only
recently engaged an architect to
draw plans for the proposed perma.
nent building. 1t is planned that an
election be called at an early date
for the authorization of bond issue
to erect the permanent building, but
it is not known what will be done
with the school at present. The pa
irons, in mass meeting few weeks
ago, rejected the idea Of scattering
the school about town, and max
ing an effort in this way to carry
it on because of the expense in put
ting various places in shape, and
the great inconvenience.
A meeting of the board of trustees
was held today to determine just
what will be done. Though the rooms
in the temporary building were
heated by individual heaters, fires
in them were not rekindled yester-
day afternoon, and because of this,
the officials little believe that the
fire originated from defective
fine

Highway Link
Nears COMPLETION

EASTMAN, Ca, Nov. 3.-w ork
is rapidly nearing completion on the
public road, leading from Eastman
to Abbeville, which will connect with
the bridge recently constructed over
the Ocmulgee river, just east Of Alb
beville.
BY reason of the fact that several
miles Of the Dodge county end OF
the road lies through q dense swamp,
it has been necessary to expend a
great deal of time and money on
this county's portion Of the highway.
A vast amount of bridge and trestle
work was required to span the
swamps and streams on the eastern
side Of the river. In addition, a
practically new road, of highway di-
mens1ons, has been constructed.
When finished, the new highway
will afford another avenue Of traf-
fic between the western and east
ern sections of the state and be-
tween. the northeast and Florida. AS
soon as completed, much of the au-
tomobile tourist traffic from the
eastern states to the Florida resorts
Will no doubt move over that route

Texas Governor Urged
To Grant Extradition
OF Iohn D. Walker

AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 3.-There
has been received in Governor
Neff's office a brief from Doyle
Campbell, solicitor general Of Geor-
gia, urging Governor Neff to grant
extradition papers for John D. Wal
ker, former Sparta banker wanted
for ENLIGHTENMENT Of funds from a
bank in that city.
The governor has received no
requisition from Governor Hardwick,
Of Georgia, for Walker and the re-
ceipt Of the solicitor generals brief
gives him the impression that such
D request will be received soon.
Walker is now reported to be liv-
ing in San Antonio, Texas, and re-
ports from there are that he Will
fight extradition.
The solicitor general in his brief
informed Governor Neff that counsel
for Walker had appeared before Gov.
ernor Hardwick and argued that the
indictment was void in that the bank
from which Walker is charged with
having embezzled funds is a national
bank and, therefore, not under the
jurisdiction of the Georgia laws. The
solicitor general then submits argu-
ment to offset this contention, cit
ing laws to show that the lndlct-
ment is legal and that Walker should
be extradited in case it is requested.
Answering the solicitor generals
letter, Governor Neff said he would
be glad to give the brief careful con-
sideration in case the extradition is
requested. Also that in event Walk
er files a brief he will supply Gen
eral Doyle with a copy. Several let
tiers have been received recently
from the solicitor general, and the
governors office is puzzled as to the
proceedings. 1t appears to them that
the letters and briefs are premature,
as no communication of any kind
or request for extradition has been
received from Governor Hardwiclz,
of Ga0rpia

MINES IN INDIANA
CLOSED BY STRIKE

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 3.-Prac-
tically every mine In the Indiana
coal field was idle today as the
result of strike of union miners in
protest against injunctions issued
here Monday by Federal Judge A.
B. Anderson, prohibiting use of the
''check OFF, system of collecting un-
ion dues and assessments. Only q
few small shafts were reported in
operation and union employees of
these are expected to walk out as
soon as the CHECK OFF, is discon-
tinued by the operators.
A meeting of the Indiana Bitunni-
nous Coal Operators association
will be held at Terre Haute tonight,
at which members have announced
the course of action to be taken, by
the operators as the result of the
injunction would be outlined. Of
ficers of the association have de-
clared, however, the injunction
would be obeyed and notices of dis
continuance of the check-off sys-
tenn have already been prepared for
posting at the mines.
Miners from only a few locals of
other coal mining districts Of the
country were reported as having fol-
lowed the example of the Indiana
miners in striking, but officials at
headquarters Of the union here eX-
pect that the walk-out will become
general as soon as the order dis
continuing the check-off system is
put into effect. This may not &C.
cur for several days in some of the
districts, it was pointed out, as
there is expected to be some de-
lay before the provisions of the in
junction are put into actual opera
ton.
Counsel for both the union and
the operators were busy today in
the preparation of their appeal of
the injunction to the circuit court
of appeals at Chicago, and are ex-
pected to make formal application
for the appeal before Judge Ander-
son either today or tomorrow. Coun-
sci said the application was only a
perfunctory, proceeding.

it accordingly"
