Fokker Ayers Stunt
Flying Hinders
y Aviation
By Universal Seryice.

CHICAGO, July 20.-Stunt
flying has done much to hinder
the advance of aviation in Amer
lea. II commercial flying is to
be furthered in the United
States, special emphasis must
be laid upon safety provisions.
A. H. G. Fokker, the famous
Dutch airplane builder, made
these comments in an interview
here yesterday. Mr.. Fox
ker plans to move his headquar-
ters to America and perhaps
build a large manufacturing
plant on the shore of Lake
Michigan between Milwaukee
and Chicago.
The airline expert said that
he will leave Chicago today for
Washington to meet Secretary
of War Weeks for a conference
on his Government contracts.
On Saturday he will sail from
New York to make arrange
ments for the transfer of his
plants to this country.

acts against this government are
out of jail. A certain woman com.
mitted the overt act Of teaching
young men how to impair their eye
sight in order to get exempted from
the draft. She is out. Two Ger.
tain men committed the overt act
of selling their influence to secure
exemptions Of young men by q GER
tain draft board. They are out. The
men who are still in Jail are men
who in virtually every case did moth
ing against the war except talk-or
except belong in silence to an organ
ization which had some leaders who
talked.
But these men were labor men
and the organization to which they
belonged was a labor organization.
No shipbuilder who robbed the
Shipping Board during the war Is
In Jail. No food profiteer who vio-
lated the Lever law during the war
is in Jail. The food profiteers who
paid fines for violating the Lever
law are now getting their fines paid

BY HEAVY HAIL
Chas. L. Ansley's And Others
Farms On Lee Street Road
Damaged

A severe hail storm, which stripped
the crops on the farm of Chas. l..
Ansiey, four miles south of Ameri-
Gus on the Lee street road, and dam
aged several other adjoining and
nearby places, fell about 2 o'clock
Monday afternoon at the time a
shower visited Americus. The path
of the hail was about mile wide
and started toward the south end of
the farm of J. w. Howard, covered
nearly the whole of Mr. Ansley's
place and extended through the farm
of Miss Carrie Speer, on which the
Peel brothers are tenants, and COW
cred parts of the farms of Mrs. Clore,
E. L. Benn and T. B. Hooks. In sew
eral fields the cotton was completely
stripped and the corn badly beaten
down and other damage done. Mr..
Ansiey stated today, however, after
inspection of his fields, that he hoped
great deal if not entirely all, of his
cotton and corn would survive and
make crops. He has ordered his
farm hands to proceed with intensive
cultivation, and has bought literally
cf additional fertilizer to bring the
damaged plant on after they begin
to leave out again.
No hail in any peach orchards in
this section has been reported to the
Times-Recorder. A report here to-
day, however, stated that one peach
orchard near Pitts, east Of Cordele,
which had been expected to yield
from Is to 20 carloads Of fruit,
would now yield nothing as the re-
suit of hail. Extremely heavy dam
age was done to peach orchards about
Grovania yesterday.

TAKEN FROM BIBB
JAIL. MONDAY

MACON, May 20. Jim benson,
convicted of statutory offense in
Wilkinson county more than two
years ago and sentenced to hang, was
re-sentenced yesterday morning in
Irwinton by Judge J. B. Park I to
hang on June Is. Denson's attor-
ney, John K. Cooper. has about ex-
hausted every possibility of saving
the negro and was not present when
the death sentence was passed upon
him.
benson was taken early yesterday
morning from the Bibb county Jail,
where he had been confined pending
the outcome of the case, to Irwinton
by Sheriff L. P. Player and Deputies
j. r. Bell and G. f. Everett.
1t was not generally known that
benson would be re-sentenced yes
terday and few people were in the
court room. When the negro was
tried the court room was packed and
scores were unable to hear any part
of the proceedings. Judge Park ask
ed benson if he had anything to say
and receiving no response, the death
sentence was passed.

NASSER TOBOX
]. ROSS TONIGHT
Glove Bout To Follow Spectacu-
lar Mat Contest Last
Night

On the l. k>els Of what fans said was
the best and most spectacular wrest-
ling match ever staged in Americus,
it was announced today by Promoter
Alex Thomas that Joe Nasser, win
ner of last nights wrestling match
with George Borella, had been match
ed to box rounds at the Opera
House tonight with Jack Ross on a
basis of winner take all. Nasser,
who is both wrestler and boxer, won
the light heavyweight championship
of Cuba recently in two rounds,
knocking out his opponent, Luis
Smith. he has been challenged by
Ross, who last week defeated Young
MCGOWAN in fast match at Dub
lin, and the two agreed to meet to-
night. Young MCGOWAN is consider
ed one of the best boxers in the
state, but he wasn't good enough for
Ross. Ross and Nasser are evenly
matched and are expected to put on
good bout. There will be IL other
rounds on the program. Ladies, who
are specially invited, will be admitted
free, the management announces, an
evening of clean sport being assured
A packed house greeted the wrest-
ling match last night, and the spec
tators were given one thrill after an.
other. Nasser, who is a clean wrest-
ler, won the first fall in 90 minutes
with a BODY scissors hold. The sec
ond went to Borella wit ha toe hold
in 13 minutes. The Greek roughed
it considerably in the second session,
apparently harrassing Nasser, who
restrained himself. During the con-
test for the third fall, which went to
Nasser in Sc minutes with another
body scissors, Borella became very
rough and Nasser retaliated at times,
calling for quick work on the part
of the referee, who prevented any
serious offensc outside the rules. The
two, who have had bad blood be-
tween them for several weeks, since
a previous meeting, wrestled all over
the mat and off it, and gave the
crowd a great show of skill and
strength. Fans were present from
as far as Albany to witness the bout.
Harry Stevens, who wrestled in pre-
vious shows here, was the referee.

JURY REFUSES TO
GIVE DIVORCE TO
MRS. CAMMACE
Hard Fight By Engineers Wife
For Marital Freedom
Fails

Mrs. Fannie w. Gammage, wife of
Ed A. Gammage, we'll known local
Seaboard engineer, was refused di-
vorce by jury in Superior court just
after noon today. The case went to
trial about II o'clock Monday and
did not go to the jury until "a hours
later, it having been one of the hard
est fought divorce suits ever seen in
this county.
For several months Mrs. Gammage
has been drawing $25 per month
temporary alimony on order of Judge
LittleDhn, who made that finding af-
ter lengthy hearing, and Mr.. Gam
mage has also been paying her $25
per month additional maintenance
for their young daughter, who has
been in her custody. What effect
the verdict in the divorce case may
have on the alimony situation was not
certain in the minds of all the at
torneys in the case today.
Mrs. Gammage was ably represent
ed by j. E. D. Shipp and j. E. Shep-
pard, while w. w. Dykes and Steph-
en- Pace handled the defense effec-
lively for Mr.. Gammage.
Mrs. Gammage has been living at
her old home in Helena since their
separation some months ago. Both
she and Mr.. Gammage had been mar
ried before, and he has one son,
now IL years of age, by the former
marriage. Considerable rather sem
sational testimony was brought out
during the trial, Mrs. Gammage's
character being attacked more by in
ference than by direct charges of
misconduct.
The form of the verdict returned
in the case was: owe the jury de-
cline to grant a divorce" 1t was
out more than an hour.
