designated BY a conference OF lumber
dealers to act as their agent
Representative Woodruff, republi-
can, Michigan, in a speech recently in
the house, asserted that official reports
had been filed by government auditors
in Seputember 1921, showing that
Phillips and Stevens stil owed the
government under this contract more
than 600 and that so far az he
could learn mo proceedings whatever
had been instituted in this connec-

Although it has been generally re-
ported during the past week that tho

consideration Of evidence dealing with
contracts for sale OF surplus lumber.

by Representative Woodruff He as
serted, however, that the firm had OBJ
tanned and sold surplus supplies OF

to own extensive tracts OF timber. He
also has a home and business interests

APALACHTCOI4A, June 4.-The first
political rally this city has had the pleas
ure of entertaining in many years was
held on last evening to very large and

be accommodated within doors. prepara-
tions were made to hold the meeting out
doors that would accommodate all.
Promptly at eight o'clock ]. H. Cook,
chairman of the meeting with few re-
marks. expressed the regrets OF the
committee at the enforced absence of
Mr.. Hancock
The first speaker, Hon. ]. IT. Smith
wick, was greeted with rousing ap-
plause. and for an hour held the audi
ence in close attention as he accounted
to his constituents OF his public service
record. His report covering matters of
local interest We're complete in detail,
indicating that his effort had been put
forth in the best interest of the district.
He had been considerate of every appeal
made to him, and while yet not having
accomplished all that had been hoped
for, he proved his determination to carry
on the fight with the anticipation for
the best results. With an overwhelm-
ing majority of the opposing party in
the congress and with the policy of re-
trenchment of the administration, the
individual member cannot hope that he
may have his every appeal answered. Mr..
Smithwick had been charged with SEEM
ing neglect when a recent order was is
sued to discontinue the office of local
inspector OF steam vessels, but upon sat
isfactory information Of authority from
Washington, it was learned that it was
not by an act of congress, as understood,
but upon executive order of the depart
ment of commerce. of which Mr.. Smith
wick hod no information. An apology
was extended TO Mr.. Smithwick. At the
same time It was shown that every effort
through him was being put forth to have
this order rescinded.
Mr. Smithwick departed on the Steamer
Tarpon at 1000 p. m, for Panama City.
Following Mr. Smithwick, the candi-
dates for member of the legislature Of

Mr. Herrick assured France Of the
deep friendship of the United States,
which though it might not prevent dis

''Verdun and vaIor are forever one
and inseparable," said the ambassador.
b"Here blazed the spirit of France. And

tribute from the whole United States

coming of the Americans; the joy of
their victories: the sorrow over their

Crowds filled city hall square while
the luncheon was in progress and
cheered for America with such warmth
and insistencet that the ambassador
was forced to appear on the balcony
and salute the spectators.
Premier Poincare accepted the medal
on behalf of the French government,
making an impassioned speech in which
he spoke of what had been done by the
American soldiers TO help gain the
victory and defend Frances position on
the reparations and army issues.

A possible echo of another romance
was seen by the police today in the
story of a woman who called by tele-
phone to the hotel where Anderson
and Miss Beal had lived as man and
wife. This telephone call came the
night after the tragedy and the woman
asked for ''Mr. or Mrs. Anderson" the
