i. D. c. EAGER FOR
WORK To BEGIN ON
SOUTH'S MEMOR|AL

Never has project aroused such
high enthusiasm among the United
Daughters of the Confederacy as did
the proposed Stone mountain me-
mortal at the U. D. c. convention
held last week in Birmingham, ac-
cording to members of the delega
ton representing the Atlanta chap,
ter who have returned from that
city.
Gutzon Borglum, the noted sculp-
tor, who is to do the work, appeared
before the convention last Friday,
and delivered an address in which
he gave them a comprehensive out
line Of the entire project. He re-
ceived a most attntive hearing, and
his address aroused great interest,
the Atlanta delegates report.
Mrs. Frank Tucker Mason, sis
ter of Samuel H. Venable, explained
that he made his gift of the use Of
the mountain to the United Daugh-
tiers of the Confederacy as a whole.
The organization was not asked
to undertake the financing OF the
project, the reason being that it al
ready has undertaken to finance the
completion of the jefferson Davis
monument at FairvieW, KY, and
that must be finished before any
other undertakings are made.
Birmingham newspapers gave the
most splendid publicity to the me
mortal, one article consisting of an
entire page of pictures with a de
scriptjve story in the Birmingham
News.

Father Urges That
Deformed Body Be
Allowed to Die

CHICAGO, Nov. "a fathers
plea that his two-day old deformed
baby girl be scientifically put to
death was overruled by physicians
today.
The child, normal mentally, has
neither arms nor legs. The father.
James c. Lebrasca, begged that she
'be allowed not to live" according
to surgeons.
The case Of baby Bollinger that
was scientifically allowed to die five
years ago after the late DR.. Harry
Haiselden, attending physician, re-
fused to perform simple operation
that would have saved the child's
life, was recalled.
Baby Lebrasca was born Satur-
day. DR.. Benjamin II. Breakstone,
attending physician, after a consul
tation with his colleagues, Drs. Man
del and Brownstein, ruled against
the fathers appeal.
1.-THE child's brain is normal-it
may become a mental genius-we
have no right to cause her death. -
he said.
1.-THE deciding point is whether the
child, if permitted to live, will be
a burden on the community.
"Society should be required to
step in and care for such a baby,
attend to it's wants and educate it."

Cats ACQUITTED;
JURY DEL|BERATES
BUT N|NE MINUTES

PENSACOLA, Ella, Nov. o.
Federal court records here were
cleared Tuesday Of all peonage
charges against Sidney J. Cats, for
mer governor Of Florida, when Dis
trict Attorney Fred Cubberly nolle
pressed an indictment charging the
former executive with having held
Ed Brown, a negro, in a state Of
peonage.
The action followed the acquittal
shortly before midnight Of Mr.. Cats
of a charge Of holding John Henry
Rogers, another negro, to labor on
his plantation against his will. The
jury deliberated but nine minutes.
Mr., Cats returned to his home
at DeFuniak Springs early today.
District Attorney Cubberly indi
Gated shortly after the verdict was
returned he would move today to
nolIe PROSE- an indictment against
Mr.. Cats charging peonage relat'

said to have been employed by Mr..
Cats at the same time as Rogers.
The former executive was placed
on trial early yesterday. An hour
later, a jury was secured and the
case advanced rapidly. Evidence was
concluded shortly before midnight,
both sides waived arguments, and
the case was in the jury's hands
following brief charge by Judge
w. B. Sheppard.
The governments main conten
ton was that Mr.. C.tts had held
in bondage on his farm, Rogers ana
Brown, after they had been par
doned from the state penitenuary'
where they were serving life SEN
fences during his terri of office as
governor.
The original contract signed by
the negro Rogers, according to evil
dence, required him to work on the
farm until he had paid Mr.. Cats
$50 and eight per cent interest; the
debt contracted by the farm hand
on a business concern, and having
been paid by the defendant after
the negro had agreed to work for
Mr.. Cats until the debt had been
cancelled.
The defense hinged its case most
ly on an effort to break down the
statements Of the negroes that they
never had any money while they
| worked for Mr.. Cats. A dozen wit
nesses testified they seemed well
supplied with cash at all times.

Hold Parole Cannot Be
Revoked After Convict S
Prison Sentence Expires

COLUMBIA, S. c., Nov. 22.-Rul-
ing that the sentence of a paroled
convict continues to run concurrent
ly with the parole, the supreme
court of South Carolina handed down
decision to the effect that the gov
ernor of the state can not have a
convict reincarcerated for violation
of the conditions of his parole after
the expiration of the original term
for which the defendant was SEN
fenced.
The ruling was handed down in
the habeas corpus proceedings of
Grover Crooks, Of Oconee county,
who was sentenced for assault and
battery with intent to kill and was
paroled some months ago by former
Governor Cooper, onyl to be arrested
and imprisoned in the state peniten-
tiary recently upon orders of Cover
nor Harvey, who declared Crooks
had violated the terms upon which
he was released, and ordered the pa
role revoked. Crooks set up the con-
tention that his sentence would have
expired in April, and that he was
not bound by the parole conditions
after that time, and the supreme
court upheld his position.
The Crooks case is the second to
be decided against Governor Harvey.

Virginia Commission
Reserves Decision in
KuKlux License Case

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 22.-Fo1-
lowing hearing extending over a
period Of several hours, the state
corporation commission Tuesday re-
served it's decision in the matter Of
the knights Of the Ku K1ux Khan,
Inc, Of Atlanta, charged with doing
business in Virginia without obtain
ing certificate of authority through
it's attorneys, Robert K. Spiller, of
Roanoke, and j. V. Poole, of Atlanta.
The order set up the defense that
it is fraternal in it's nature, and is,
therefore, exempt from provisions of
the law. In cross examining W. G..
Maddox, Of Richmond, former exalt-
ed cyclops Of the local chapter, who,
with a number Of others, withdrew
several months ago, Spiller accused
the witness of being a traitor" afte@
the latter had testified that he had
the same title which Spiller now has
in Roanoke.
.Spiller quickly apologized, how
ever, when counsel for Maddox OBJ
1ected to the use Of such term.
Maddox, questioned as to the robes
used by the Klansmen. said that he
had twice visited the Gate City Man
ufacturing company's plapt in At
lanta where they are manufactured,
and his understanding was that the
garments were made on order for
sale to the members in various
states, the price being $3.50 apiece.
Attorney Poole endeavored to es..
tablish through cross-examination OF
Maddox and other witnesses that the
organization was not actually en-
gagged in the business Of selling
robes. AT the conclusion of the tes-
timony, the commission announced
that it would allow ten days for the
filing Of briefs by each side.
A. G.. Miller, a Richmond police
man, who said that he withdrew
from the Richmond local at the time

titled that he Travelled Virginia for
time as organizer, and that he
tackled UP number of warning"

sure where these placards- came

take care of the situation. Governor
Parker, on leaving the conference,
declared in a formal statement that
regardless of cost or consequences"
the state authorities were determin-
ed to make a thorough investigation
of reported outrages by the khan in
Louisiana.
That there prevails in that state,
however, any such situation as pic
