They can scarcely expect the rest of

Immediately an emergency force was
sent out.
When asked to verify the report
later, Colonel W. Bubanks, in charge
of county forces, declined to confirm
it, or another said to have been
brought in from Crooked Greek dis
trfct that two deputies had been
wounded. Others arriving from the
border denied the deputies had been
forced back.

Former Senator Lewis
Counsels Meeting Not
to Take Hasty Action.
Resolution Is Adopted
by Bar Association
After Hot Debate.

| Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. 1.-The ac-
tion of Federal Judge K. NJ. Lands
of Chicago, national commissioner of
baseball, in accepting private en-
ployment and private emolument'
while active on the federal bench, was
declared to meet with the unqualified
condemnation" of the American Bar
association in a resolution adopted
Thursday night.
The resolution was adopted after
stormy debate in which former Sen
ator James Hamilton Lewis coun-
selled against hasty action and moved
that the matter be referred to a COM
mittee for investigation. He declared
that Judge Lands should be accorded
proper hearing before being con-
demned.
The resolution was drawn late to-
day by the executive committee of the
association, was presentd by Hamp-
ton l.. Carson. of Philadelphia, former
president Of the organization.
The Resolution:
Resolved:
'That the conduct of Kenesaw NJ.
Lands in engaging in private employ
ment and accepting private emolument
while holding the position of n federal
judge and receiving salary from the
federal government meets with our un-
qualified condemnation as conduct I'M
worthy of the office of judge, deroga-
tory to the dignity Of the bench and
undermining public confidence in the
Independence of the judiciary"
"1n upholding the honor of the pro-
fession of the law Mr.. Carson said i'll
presenting the resolution, "Of what use
is it to prescribe canons Of ethics if
we know that the man on whoa the
judicial ermine rests has soiled that

''To ignore this thing would have
been to leave this convont,nn banging

this judge"
Lewis Defends Judge.
Rising to defend Judge Lands, rs a
man convicted by the resolution with
out trial, former Senator Lewis de-
elared it did not become the dignity of
the American Bar association to take
hasty action.
'As a member of the bar ia Chi
cago, having practiced many times be-
fore the judge in question, ] carrot

lion proposed for such hasty action"
Mr.. Lewis said. II know Judge Lands, !

public and in private hut l cannot
permit an attack upon his character or
ais probity as man who can be allur-
sd by money.
II move, sir, that the matter be re-
erred to committee which RAY serve

HIGH FINANCE PLAN
Of FRENCH INCLUDED
PURCHASE Of BANKS
''Swindle Trust" Was Ready to
Purchase Milwaukee Insti-
tuition With 'Kited Check.

Chicago, Sept. How Charles w.
French, alleged head of a $5O,OOOO 900
"swindle trust" intended to purchase
a bank in Milwaukee with "kited"
check for $JOO,OOO. was told Thurs
day to John V. Clinnin, acting district
attorney, by A. e. Strelzin, Of Mil
waukee.
Strelzin, head of the Reliance Out
door Advertising company and said to
be a. former newsboy, came to Chi
cago to interview Colonel Clinnin. He
is at liberty under bonds on charges
of having acted as an agent for the
trust"
According to Strelzin, French con-
templated the purchase of two Mil
waukee banks. The larger of these
was to cost 100000; Strelzin said
French arranged with the cashier of
a bank in Washington, d. c., to
'kite" certified check for $500, 1000.
Upon receipt of the check, Strelzin
said, the cashier was to credit it to
the payee, and French, upon the bank
being turned over, was to rush funds
to Washington to cover the amount.
The remaining 100000 was to be
"gotten somehow" Strelzin said,
probably in paper to be issued in
the namesso Of the bank once French
was in control.

GREAT ESTATES
ARE CRUMb[|NC
UNDER TAXLOAD
Peers Find 1t Necessary
to Sell Part of Hold
ings to Live in England
Famous Castles Which
Have Been in Families
for Years Are Sold.

London, Sept 1-England's great
estates are crumbling under the weight
of taxation and death duties and one
big landed proprietor after another
among the nobility is dividing and SELL
ing his holdings. many of which have
been in the hands of single families for
centuries.
The latest indication that peers are
finding it necessary to seek smaller
the Duke of Portland that he may
have to abandon his palatial mansion,
Welbeck Abbey, in Nottinghamshire.
This is only one of the residences of
the Duke who owns some 100000 acres
in England.
Duke Outlines Position.
For centuries past landed estates
have been handed down from genera
ton to generation" said the Duke, ad
dressing his tenants on the occasion
of the coming of age of his son, Lord
Francis Cavendish. Landlords and
tenants have lived on terms of mutual
trust and affection. l fear, however,
that the state of things is passing
away for with the present weight of
taxation and the extremely onerous in
cidence of death duties, the future may
become very uncertain for all landed
proprietors. If this is good for the
country, l certainly do not complain.
whit regards to my own case, it
may or may not be possible for me and
my family to continue to reside at
Welbeck, but / fear that there can be
little doubt that those who come after
me will not be able to do so"
Historic Places Sold.
On all sides historic houses are
finding new tenants and ancient fam
lilies are severing their connection
with the soil.
The Duke of Devonshire sold Dew
onshire House in 1919 and Stowe
House, the propert of Baroness Kin
loss, was disposed of recently.
Others who have sold their prop
critics recently include the Duke OF
Bedford, the Duke Of Westminster,
the Duke Of Rutland, the Duke of
Grafton, the Duke of Marlborough,
Lord Leconfield, Lord Londesborough,
Lord Portman, Lord Camden, Marquis
de Castega, Earl Beuchamp, Earl
Bradford, Lord Aberdeen, Lord Lovat,
Lord Harrington, Lord Harlech, the
Countess of Warwick and Sir Rich
ard Bulkeley.
Welbeck Abbey is famous for the
SuUleFfduehu pdSdSes anu dpdItA
built by the Duke of Portland at a
cost Of f3,OOOO0O in order to hide
himself from observation by the out
side world.
The abbey has an underground rid
ing school 400 feet long, 106 feet
wide and 80 feet high, capable of
holding 10000 persons.
There is q subterranean ballroom 15S
feet long, 63 feet wide and q feet
high, the walls of which are hung with
famous paintings.
Both the riding school and the ball
room are connected with the abbey by
q series of tunnels.
Other features are large subterran
mean libraries and tan bark course |
for galloping horses. 1t is a quarter |
of mile long entirely covered in with |
glass. Altogether there are about Is |
miles of tunnelling.

Geneva. Sept. l-(By the Associ-

appointed Thursday by the council Of

the question Of Silesia met immedi-
ately and began its work.
The commission is composed Of
Paul Hymans, Belgium; DR.. v. X.
Wellington Zoo, Chira; Count Quoin-

da Cunha, Brazil. It is authorized to
hear all experts except those who al

cussions of Silesia.
The idea of the council is to get
away from all controversies that have
developed in the supreme council.
Arthur J. Balfour, Great Britain, de-
clared this was the only way in which
a settlement could be reached that
wouN appeal to public opinion a. be-

the council, said:
This procedure assures fair and

There was much elation over the
reported settlement of the Polish
Lithuanian dispute concerning wilma.

been somewhat premature, and tho
settlement still lacks the
