PHILLIPS WAVES
EXAMINATION AND
GIVEN HIS LIBERTY
State Republican Chairman for
Georgia Figures in
War Frauds.
SAYS ITS PENALTY
BEING IN POLITICS
Mystery Seems to be Added to
the Case on Account of De-
partment of Justices Denial
Of any knowledge of the Mat
ter.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, June 5-John Lewis
Philips, Republican state chairman of
Georgia, for whose arrest a warrant
was issued Saturday on complaint of
the department of Justice, alleging
conspiracy to defraud the United
States in connection with war con-
tracts for the disposal of surplus lum-
ber, surrendered to a deputy marshal
today on his arrival from Philadelphia.
Arraigned before Commissioner
Hit, Phillips waived examination and
was released on $4,000 bail for ac-
ton by the grand jury. Phillips to-
night refused to make a formal state
ment, but said: It's the penalty one
must pay for being in politics"
The war frauds inquiry of the De-
partment of Justice developed a mys-
terry today concerning the identity of
the person or persons who on Satur-
day swore out warrant for the ar
rest of Phillips, charging fraud in ex-
ecution of war contracts.
Commissioner Isaac r. Hill, who on
Saturday issued the warrant, declined
today to say who made the complaint
on which the warrant was issued
1t became known, however, that four
persons appeared at Commissioner
Hills office late Saturday or shortly
thereafter.
At the Department of Justice sur
prise was expressed today.
''The Department of Justice is work
ing in the dark one high official said
I'VE know nothing about it." Like
wise the district attorneys office here
professed no knowledge.
A phase of the case that added to
the mystery is that despite the De
partment of Justices denial of knowl-
edge of the matter, the United States
marshals office was notified on Sat
urday to send two deputy marshals up
to the Department of Justice, prepar-
ed to act in connection with the Phil
lips warrant.

Bursting OF Tank No. 6 at the
Atlantic Refinery Sunday
Causes Excitement
r. R. RHODEN WAS THE ONLY
PERSON WHO WAS INJURED.
Number g, Tank That Exploded,
Contained Hundreds of Gal
Ions of Oil and This Blazing
Fluid, Running in all Direc-
tions, Made 1t Look Serious.

AT SIS Sunday morning, tank num-
Der 6, at the Atlantic Refining Com
pany's plant, at Arco, exploded which
was distinctly felt in every part or
BrunsH icl, many believing it to be
an earthquake shock, while at Arco
those residing within a radius OF a
mile or more, were greatly excited
and many made for the scene of the
explosion. 1t required the Rehnery's
entire police department to keep the
crowd beyond the danger line, while
the plants excellent fire department
fought the flames and in the vicinity
of the tank adjoining making it dan
gerous as the running stream of fire
nearly surrounded the adjoining big
oil container which made it exceeding
hazardous fer the fse fighters, but,
Drawing the danger, the men fought it
and had it under control in thirty-fve
minutes.
In tank number 6, the one which ex-
ploded, there was seven hundred bar
rels of oil and, of course. this was a
total loss. But one fortunate thing
about the accident is the fact that
there were no casualties and only one
man was hurt, r. L. Rhoden, still
er. This young man had been injured
once before at the plant. Mr.. Rhoden
was struck in the face by Il heavy
brass nozzle and while his injuries
were, of course, painful, they are not
of a serious nature and will not con-
fine him to his home, although it will
be some days before he will be able
to resume his duties.
Many complimentary remarks have
been heard regarding the excellent
fire department and the fearless man
ner in which the members handled
this dangerous conflagration.

First Baptist Church, is Sc
Iected to Deliver the Bacca-
laureate Address. III

The graduating exercises of Glynn
High School will be held Tuesday,
June 18th, at the First Baptist church,
with one of the largest and most thor
oughly equipped classes ever to re-
ceive diplomas from this institution of
learning. The exercises were hereto
fore held at the Grand theater. but on
account of that building being consid-
cred unsuitable prior to undergoing
repairs, change in plans was neces-
sary.
The literary address will be deliv-
cred by Congressman William H.

the state and a literary treat is in
store for all who hear him
BY popular vote of the graduating
class, Rev. o. p Gilbert, of the First
Baptist church. was selected to deliv-
er the haccalaureate address.
As is always the case. the approach
ing commencement Of Glynn High is
fraught with the happiest anticipa-
ton, but never more so than on the
approach of June 13, when one of the
most brilliant classes in the history
of that institution will graduate. The
joys attendant upon that occasion are
shared in by the friends and parents
of these deserving young men and
women, who have applied themselves
assiduously for months and years, now
come to their reward In many in
stances the records made are consid-
cred most remarkable and reflect
great credit on pupil and teacher alike.
In class standing. Miss Helen Liss-
ner, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. j.
Lissner. won firt honor with a class
average of 95 plus. The contest for
second honor was one of the most diff
cult that the faculty has ever been
called upon to decide Miss Helen Bor-
chardt winning over Miss Charlotte
Carruthers by narrow margin. Miss
Borchardt made an average of "a plus,
as did Miss Carruthers. In this case
there was practical tie, the differ
ence between them being only one
tenth of one per cent Considering
that Miss Carruthers was out of school
for a month on account of illness, the
faculty regard her record as being re-
markable.
A perfect attendance prize of $4,000
in gold will be awarded to Miss Dol
ores Artau, who was neither tardy or
absent during her entire four year
term in school.
The following is a list of those who
graduate next Tuesday: Misses Eloise

tau, Jewel Mitchell. Mary Parker, Hell
