AMERICAN LEGION
IS AGAINST DELAY
Will Continue to Fight for
Adjusted Compensation
Without Changes.
(5y The Associated Press.)

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 13.-The
American legion viii fight on for ad-
iusted compensation without change
in its provisions of its present pro-
gram following the message of Presi-
dent Harding to the senate urging &c
laved action, John G. Emery, legion
national commander, said in state
ment issued from national headquar-
ters here today.
'oThe sudden alarm which apparently
has swept over government officials
lest through adjusted compensation
the United States treasury be so de-
pIeted as to mean national calamity
will cause no recession of our activity
to bring about such measures Of civil
re-establishment and material read
iustment as we believe to be for the
best interests of the country itself, !"
Mr.. Emery declared.
"Our claims for adjusted compen-
sation were not made until by care
full study the conditions of our ex-sol-
diers were ascertained, which beyond
anv doubt justify every provision set
forth in the adjusted compensation
bill" he said. 'I believe that Secretary
Mellon vastly overestimates the cost
of such provisions. Precedent dis
proves his prediction Of financial col
lapse If the adjusted compensation bill
passes. England and her overseas do
rninions, France, italy and Belgium
enacted national relief legislation and
found money thus expended a potent
factor in stabilzing economic condi-
tions generally through rehabilitation

Buildings and Repairs to
Present Buildings.
CONTRACTS FOR WORK
WILL BE LET LATER
New Class of Nearly so Officers
of High Rank Ordered
Here for Duty.

Officials at the naval air station are
.VIeased with the new naval appropria-
10 bill just signed by President Har-
ding, because it assures the continued
activity Of all departments of the To-
cal station and increases in a number
OF branches. For one thing, tine Oil
carried an appropriation of 100000 for
construction Of new buildings and re-
Sairs to buildings already erected.
contracts for this work will be let in
tue time.
1t had been known for some time
hat there was no danger of any re-
duction in the station here. The
clauses, in the bill which the house
.yud senate were unable to agree upon
la which held up passage Of the
measure were not those affecting the
air station at Pensacei-, end officers
ere certain that al departments
could be maintained undiminished.
The navy department has frequently
off5ciallW recognized the premier inn
rottance of maintaining the naval es-
amblishment here at full strength and
efficiency, and even before the appro-
yriation was passed a new class Of
nearly 80 officers of high rank had
been ordered here for duty. At the
same time, in order to provide compe-
tent instructors for the new men,
large portion of the class about to be
detached was ordered transferred to
the station personnel for duty.
Not only viii the activities in the
heavier-than- -air section at the station
be maintained undiminished, but also
they are to be increased in the lighter
than air division. Numerous compara-
tive tests of the available flying time
for balloons of all types at the local
station and at other stations has con-
vinced the department that Pensacola
offers the greatest advantages for all
year training.
The civilian personnel at the naval
air station has not been decreased
since the postwar cut was made and
officers in the departments which are
directly connected with the civilian
employees are preparing new sched-
ule on which will be based a gradual
increase in the number of men en-
ployed. The 100000 which will be ex-
pended for construction and repairs
will require the employment of con-
siderable force of men, and it is con-
sidered certain that great majority
of these will be obtained locally.

Finally, after much effort, the un-
willing passenger succeeded in
clearing himself from the rigging
and in climbing to a place from
which he could reach the rip cord"
Pulling this, he opened the valve
which released the gas and started
to descend.
In the meantime the balloon had
drifted over the gulf and boats had
been sent out to be near when a
landing was made. Coming down
the balloon was caught in a cross
current of air and swept in over
the island, close to Fort Pickens.
When Chief Shade saw that he was
over the narrows he leaped from
the balloon which was now about
100 feet from the water.
Fortunately for the chief, who
was not a strong swimmer, a speed
boat was close at hand and he was
hauled aboard. His first request
was for cigarette which he lighted
and smoked with great enjoyment.
Arrived at the wet basin, where the
boats land, Chief Shade was met by
a hospital detachment which seized
him and rushed him to the sick
bay. His pulse and respiration
were counted and the doctors We're
almost overwhelmed when they dis
covered that the chiefs exciting
air journey had had almost no in
f1uence on his heart or lungs.

TRROWER, IS BOUND
OVER FOR MAYHEM

Following testimony by DR.. Muir
dock Equen, a visiting eye specialist
at Grady hospital to the effect that
Mrs. Gladys Pressnell a ticket seller
at the Strand theater. will be prac-
tically blind in one eye and disfigured
for life as a result of acid thrown in
her face by Mrs. Nell Goodman Ro~
lader, Judge T. o. Hathcock, of the
municipal court, Friday bound Mrs.
Rolader over to the superior court In
$4,000 bond on charge of mayhem.
No defense was offered by Mrs. Ro-
lader.
Mrs. A. D. Lackey, mother of Mrs.
Pressnell and prosecutor on a war
rant charging Mrs. Rolader with as
sault with intent to kill, did not tes-
tify at the hearing Friday. The
case was conducted by Attorneys J..
Walter LeCraw and Fred E. Harri-
son, counsel for Mrs. Lackey, and
G. Moore, counsel for Mrs. Rolader.
During the hearing Mrs. Rolader
was constantly wiping her right eye
in which some of the acid splashed.
Homer A. Weaver, manager of the
Strand theater, was the first wit
told of being at the theater on Feb
ruary ID when Mrs. RoIader called
and said she wanted to speak to
GLADYS" He said he thought she
was one of the ticket sellers rela-
t1ves and did not think anything of
it when Mrs. Rolader opened the
door of the ticket office and stood
IN the doorway. said he heard
excited talk and later saw Mrs.
Pressnell stagger from the ticket Of
err" he said, and her face was COW
cred with a yellowish substance. He
said he tried to wife it off with his
handkerchief and was himself
slightly burned by the acid. The
injured woman was later taken to

lowing her arrest. He said she told
him that Mrs. Pressnell had alienat-
ed the affections of her husband and
that she threw the acid when Mrs.
Pressnell refused to let Mr. Rolader
alone.

left eye of Mrs. Pressnell is prac-
tically gone and her face is horri-
bly, dls1gured. The right eye, though

said the outcome is problematical,
however. 1t will be several weeks

Four small packages Of register
ed mail which Davis estimated were
worth about SD, were taken. A
number of important registered mail

Missouri. The bandits apparently
had received word of these packages
and were looking for them.
The train had just crossed the Mis-
sissippi when the four men jumped
on the tender and covered the engine
crew with their rifles.

gineer Donahue and the crew stop

Come on" another bandit said to
Donahue who was grabbed by the
shoulder and forced to cut the bag
gage and mail cars loose from the
rest of the train.
Donahue, on command from the
bandits, took the two cars two miles
up the track while the bandits looted
them.
The four desperadoes disappeared
in the darkness after looting the
cars.
Conductor w. A. Longweu and En-
gineer Donahue told postal authori-
ties today that an attempt was made
to hold up the train two weeks ago
at Louisiana. Mo-. but that the crew
fought off the two bandits.
Passengers tn the train were
awakened when the brakes we're ap
piled to- the frosty rails and peered
out of the coaches, watching the en-
gineer uncouple the baggage and mail
cars from the coaches.
Those in berths hastily slipped on
their garments and left the coaches
after the engine had pulled out with
the two cars. .,.-
Many passengers secreted their
in the cars, fearing the ban
dts would return to stick up the pas
sengers.

FIFTY PER CENT CUT
IN COTTON ACREAGE
CLAIMED BY EXPERT
Prices Are as Low as They
Will Go at Present, De-
CIares Theodore H, Price

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Cotton
be reduced an everage of SO per
cent newt season, If present plans
are carried out, it was learned to-
day.
Confronted by falling prices and
an enormous surplus American
planters expect a decreased acreage
of 20 to 25 pc rcent. The Egyptian
acreage has been reduced &C per
cent, and a substantial cut has been
made in the West Indies.
>Prices,' however. "are about as low
as they will go for the present" in
of Commerce and Finance, and an
authority on cotton.
Raw cotton, particularly the low
grade, is selling now far below cost
of production he told the United
Press today Radical curtailment
of acreage next year : almost GER
tain. The surplus of American crop
remaining unsold at the end of the
present season will be of more or
less hypothetical in that while there
will be no doubt of it's existence
it will not be pressed for sale"
Price referred to the fact that the
hypothetical surplus in 1914-15.
when the worlds markets were gem
orally closed by the war, was fully
as large as that in prospect now,
and added that "many of the great
est bull ever cuts in cotton have
had their inception in bearish con-
ditions that were made as insuspi.
cious as the statistical situation to-
day"
Regarding the present situation in
the south, wheer farmers are with
holding their cotton, Price said:
TNo reasons, either ethical or eco
nomic, can be urged against the
right of the farmer to hold back the
product of his labor # it is below
the cost of production. AS to the
farmers financial ability to do
this--many of them prepared SUBJ
stantially during the war; they in
vested their profits in property per-
manently productive;; their com.
mand of credit, if not actual money
is much greater than it was six on
seven years ago"

Georgia Peach Crop
Not Hurt by Cola;
Blessing in Disguise

MACON Ga, Feb. 24-Cold wealth.
er that sent. the mercury below the
freezing mark Thursday throughout
the central Georgia peach belt die
no damage to the crop, according to
advices received in Macon from Fort
Valley and other points.
1t will prove a blessing in dis
guise, an orchardist said. Water
gathered in some of the cups, but
high winds that preceded the sharp
drop in temperature dried them. In
some cases, fruit prema turely aa-
vanced as a result ca the E4x..
weather several weeks ago 20 6oabt
was nipped, but the loss will be
infinitesimal compared with the bene-
fit to the crop as whole.
There is plenty of fruit on the
trees and the loss of part will cause
no great loss if the remainder Is
sufficiently retarded by this cold
spell to protect it during the freeze
that usually comes late in March or
early in April. It. is this freeze that
peach growers most dread.
II have made a careful inspection
of some of my trees and am conf
dent this cold snap will greatly bene-
fit rather than result in damage to
the crop. / am sure other orchard
lists will find the same condition."
