Hit by Wagon Tongue
As Vehicles Collide,
Taxi Man Near Death

ROME, Ga, Dec. 4.-What may
prove a fatal accident occurred in
West Rome Friday night when Ollie
Duke, twenty-five of Cedartown, EN-.
ployed here by the Mendelson Taxi
company, was struck in the side
by the tongue of a heavy wagon
driven by Jess Willingham.
Witnesses said the taxi which
Duke was driving into Rome ran
into the wagon, which was going in
the opposite direction, when the
horses became frightened and reared
up, raising the wagon tongue as it
struck the auto, penetrated the
windshield and struck Duke. He
was thrown from his seat, his foot
catching under the windshield.
Duke was lifted from the auto by
w. S. Austin and sent to the Hardin
hospital. 1t was found he was suf-
tering chiefly from an injury to the
kidneys, and his condition was pro-
nounced precarious.

Longer Skirts Predicted
For Spring Next Year;
Jackets to Be Shorter

CLEVELAND, Dec. 4.-Longer
skirts and shorter Jackets will grace
the boulevard queen in the spring
of 1923, according to the styles shown
of the National Cloak, Suit and
Skirt Manufacturers association.
The straight-line silhouette will re-
main, but will be varied by draped
blouse effects, f1aring lines in sport
and automobile coats. Sleeves are
to be loose and bell-shaped on many
coats, and jackets will be gathered
in narrow bands at the waists.
Plaids were shown in the sport coat
types.
The low-bloused Jacket and boxy
type of suit coat are being made for
wear with a plain skirt or with a
dress to constitute q three-piece
suit. In many instances, the skirt
is draped slightly and has an un-
even hem line. Poiret and twill
cord however, will be the most
widely used for suits, manufacture
ers said.
The soft, clinging fabrics will give
their grace to spring coats which
are of three types - wraps, capes
and straight-line coats, either with
or without a blouse. Silk will ap-
pear in many Of the dressier wraps.
Tan shades, beige and sand will
rival navy. Greystone and bat wing
are the new grew tones.

WITNESS DECLARES
He SAW MAN STAY
AID BURY HIS WIFE:

NEW YORK, Dec. 4.-Reuben
Norllin has confessed to being an
eyewitness to the murder and lonely
burial of Mrs. Jennie Becker, &C.
cording to statement made by De-
tective James McCarten. Norkin
said he was with Abraham Becker
when the latter killed his wife, and
dragged her some thirty feet to the
old boiler pit. The confession was
made after Norkin had been con-
fronted with Il bloody piece Of pipe
with which the murder is said to
have been committed.
The confession was said to have
been signed in the presence of the
detective and two other officials.
From this information, and test1-
mony given by many other wit
nesses, including Becker himself,
Assistant District Attorney Cohn
has been able to reconstruct the
events leading up TO and following
the murder he said today.
According to COINS theory this is
what happened:
MIR. and Mrs. Becker were calling
on their friends, the Linders, and
left about 1920 on the morning OF
April Z, driving away in Becker's
taxi.
Becker drove to Norkin's repair
shop, reaching there at about one
o'clock. Norkin was not at home,
but Becker found him in a lunch
wagon, and the three, Norkln and
the Beckers, went to Norkin's shop.
At this point Becker suggested
that his wife get out and listen to
the engine, which he had purposely
been feeding an over-supply of gas.
AS the woman, unsuspecting, leaned
over, the better to hear, she was
struck a blow from behind with
niece of pipe. AS she fell her coat
was thrown over her head, to stlt1e
any outcry.
AS soon as she fell her body was
trussed up with ropes, and she was
carried to the old boiler pit and
t1mbIed in. II was but the work
of a moment in the dark lonely lot.
Norkin stood by his shop, ready to
give a warning if any one ap-
preached, while Becker carried the
unconscious and bleeding woman to
her lime-filled grave.
After burying the body Becker
went to the lunch wagon and ordered
some cigars, seeming quite calm.
That is the story that Assistant
District Attorney Cohn will present
to the Jury in Becker's trial and on
which he will eXDect q conviction.

GOVERNOR RUSSELL.
Of MISSISSIPPI, To
FACE COURT TRIAL

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 4.-The
scene in the Birkhead-Russell dam
age suit, in which a stenographer is
suing the governor of Mississippi for
100000, will be shifted to Oxford.
Miss, where the case is on the fed
eral court docket for the term be.
ginning this week.
Frances C. Birkhead a Mississippi
girl, former stenographer OF Cover
nor Russell, alleges in her petition
that the chief executive having
promised to marry her, connived at
an operation which left her an in
valid.
The governor denies the charges
and limited that his enemies are be.
hind plot to ruin him politically.
Many witnesses have been sum-
moned by both sides and batteries of
the finest legal talent in the state
have been retained.
1t is not certain the case will be
tried during the present term, as
the judge has the prerogative of
limiting the session to one week,
and other cases can supplant it on
the calendar
Two hearings have already been
held in the case. The first was in
the federal court here where the suit
was originally filed. The case was
dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
the court holding that Governor Rus
sell was only temporary resident
of Jackson, in virtue of his duties
at the capitol. The executive claim
ed that his home was at Oxford.
Difficulty, however, was encounter
ed in serving the legal papers on the
governor at Oxford, as he did not
visit his home until election day in
September when he returned to vote.
1t was then he was served with the
papers.
The Mississippi Legislature, dur
ing it's session last summer, took
cogniZance Of the case and an in
Quiry was established to determine
whether the subject was one under
which impeachment proceedings
could oe instituted.
However, after much testimony
had been introduced, the legislative
committee decided the matter would
not be brought before the body at
that time but left TO the courts, and,
i'll the event the courts judged the
governor guilty. a special session OF
the legislature would be called to
| consider action to be taken.

League of Nations Is
Declared Spendthrift
By English Weekly

LONDON, Dec. 4.-"The League
of Nations has not justified it's ex-
istence.'
ut is helpless in preventing war;"
''It is wasteful."
'It has taken front rank as
money spender."
Thus John Bull" the British
weekly of large circulation, sums up
the leagues record in an article en-
titled "Squandermania at Geneva"
the costly futility of the League of
Nations.
John BulT' declares:
with the ideal of the League of
Nations everybody must agree. This
is an entirely different thing from
agreeing with its methods and pro-
cedure.
What is the League of Nations
doing? In the recent Near East
crisis we were on the verge of an
other great war. The league was
helpless. But when it comes to
spending money the league is right
in the front ranks.
True, it is dealing with certain
questions-the opium menace and
the age of consent for the women
of Siam. This is a far cry from the
prevention Of war and the reduction
Of ornaments. But the league is
spending 1000 pounds a day in sal
aries alone.
Its officials and clerks draw
handsome salaries with no practical
results, and altogether the league
has cost over a million pounds.
Girl typists working in Geneva
get more than British members of
parliament at Westminster; married
members of the staff are sent over
from this country with their wives
and children at the expense of the
taxpayers.
Sir Eric Drummond, chief Of the
British staff, gets 1000 pounds a
year and 5000 pounds for expenses.
Many officials get 1000 pounds a
year and expenses.

League of Nations will justify its
