The internationally known finan-

as he had met the problems of life
known on the street as one who
never showed undue alarm. he took
no formal farewell of his family
and joked with his loved ones while
he was preparing to leave with his
close associates two requests, in
case he should die under the ether.
His first request was that he
should be laid to rest in the Locus
Valley, with its rolling stretches OF
green and Towering apple Blossoms
that he had loved.
The second request was that his
funeral should be as simple and I'm
ostentatious as possible. Those close
to him, who tonight faced the SAD
duty of planning the final ceremony
said both requests would be re
SDected

Watson Smiles but
Refuses to Comment
On Fielder CHALLENGE
The Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
623 Riggs Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, D. c., May s.
Senator Thomas E. Watson merely
laughed outright Saturday when
asked if he intended to make any
reply to the challenge of Colonel
Thomas B. Fielder, of Atlanta AMI
New York, that the two meet in
room together and settle their diff
ferences. The Georgia senator
would make not word of comment,
but each time the subject was
brought up he laughed heartily and
apparently was greatly amused at
the Fielder challenge.
During the discussion of the Morse
pardon case in the senate during
the past week, Senator CaraWay, of
Arkansas, said he had received
cal from Fielder, who said that he
and not Harry NJ. Daugherty, now
attorney general, had been chiefly
instrumental in getting Morse par
doned from the Atlanta penitentiary
and that Senator Caraway should
not have assailed Mr.. Daugherty.
Senator Caraway then turned to
Senator Watson and asked him if
he knew Mr.. Fielder, and Senator
Watson replied calling Mr.. Fielder
a Crook" and professional lob
byjst." Mr.. Fielder was not a law
yer, said Senator Watson, but
lobbyist.
On his return to New York last
night, Colonel Fielder, evidently
smarting under the Watson attack,
made a statement that he would
like to meet Mr.. Watson "all alone
in room" there to settle their diff
ferences over the Morse case and
other matters.
