SENATOR MOSES
GOES ON RAMPAGE
Denounces Caravan, Palmer, Dupont and
key as Result of Days Watch on
Nitri0lic Speech

WASHINGTON, July Ex-senator G..
II. Moses, Republican, of New Hamp-
shire heralding the most bitter fight
that has yet developed on the new tar
if bill, startled the senate yesterday
with a sensational speech directed
against the Chemical Foundation, its
head, Francis p Garyan, A. Mitchell
Palmer, the Duponts and the whole dye
industry.
Not in months has the senate listened
to such a vitriolic denunciation of ''spe-
cial privilege" as in the torrent Of
charges and satirical thrusts which
came from the New Hampshire senator.
The Dupont interests, he charged, had
drawn upon the federal treasury to float
their own securities and they borrowed
500. 100000 from the government dur
ing the war "of which $50, l2l 900 has
never been paid back and is yet unac-
counted for"
Further than this, Moses declared
the Dupont interests were financed dur
ing the war by American people.
THE people not only financed them
in the tremendous expansion of theiI
business" ne said, "but the people also
were mulcted by the Duponts to an eX'
tent which enabled the company to in
crease its plant value to an admitted
1920, 900, while at the same time
taking out profits which in one year
amounted to 1929, 100000. / need not
dwell upon the sordid chapter of greed
and protiteering which marked the wal
era" he continued 1T is significant
however, that Immediately following
the armisticr. the dyemakers of
America, engulfed in the golden flood
of profits which they had secured, took
the steps to continue their stranglehOld
upon consumers.

SUPERIOR COURT HAS
. ITS LIGHTEST DOCKET
CIVIL BUSINESS OF THE SEES
SION is FINISHED IN ONE
DAY. RECORD BREAKER.

What is declared by lawyers and
officials to have been the lightest civil
docket on record was taken up and
disposed of in Terrell superior court
Monday. Several uncontested divorce
cases and few other civil matters OF
no general interest were tried The
only case involving any considerable
amount of interest was that of VIM.
c. Bryan, a resident Of Chicago,
against the Dawson Paper Shell Pecan
Company, wherein the plaintiff sued
on judgment for approximately FIVE
thousand dollars obtained against the
pecan company in an Illinois court.
Before this matter reached the jury,
however, attorneys for Bryan dismiss
ed the suit.
The grand jury is still in session
and is not expected to make its final
report to, the court until next week.
The, criminal docket will be taken up
next Monday, and the length of the
courts session at that time will depend
upon the number of indictments that
may be returned by that body. One
of the criminal matters to be heard
is that of the state against Balkman,

GRAVE OF LINCOLN'S
GRANDFATHER FOUND
WAS KILLED BY INDIANS IN
1876 WITHIN SIGHT OF HIS
HUMBLE CABIN.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.-The grave of
Abraham Lincoln, grandfather of the
martyred president, has been found in
church yard near here, in the belief
of several Louisvillians who recently
have completed an extensive investi-
cation.
The investigators found two stones
their inscriptions blotted away by
long exposure to the elements which
they believe mark the grave of the
grandfather, who was killed by In
dams in 1886 within sight of his cabin
and before the eyes of his three sons.
According to R. c. Ballard Thurs
ton, who has made a preliminary in
vestigation of deeds in the Jefferson
county court house, the examination
warrants the belief the land composing
the church yard is part of the Lin
coin property, which included 400
acres.
Additional details OF the death of
Lincoln's grandfather have been re-
veafed by the investigation, it was
stated.
When their father fell MORALLY
wounded MordeCai ran to the house
and procured a rifle while Josiah dart
ed for a nearby fort to obtain aid.
Thomas, then a boy of 9 years, re-
NAMED with his father.
According to the findings an Indian
seized Thomas and was about to scalp
him when Mordecai returned and shot
the savage to death. Thomas was re-
leased and later became the father OF
the president
