Suggestion of Administra-
ton That Presidents Off,
ciaI Family Be Admitted
Starts Much Speculation
BY ROBERT T. SMALL
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal
Cartwright 1922

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The
suggestion that the Harding admin
istration may ask congress to grant
members of the cabinet the privil-
eyes of the floor of house and SEN
ate has aused no end of specula-
ton today as to just how such a
plan would work out and the effect
1t would have upon the future
scheme of government.
There is no question but that I'M
der the plan there would be a closer
liaison between the executive and
legislative branches of the govern
ment, and perhaps a better under
standing all around.
1t so happens that the suggestion
from the executive department
comes at time when, to paraphrase
the words Of Secretary Weeks, there
is low ebb in the relationship be-
tween congress and most members
of the presidents official family
Some members of the cabinet have
been openly attacked on the floor OF
senate and house and Secretary
Weeks has taken up the cudgels by
declaring that as a result of the di-
rect primary system, congress was
never at so low an ebb as today.
The question naturally has arisen
as to whether under the new sys-
tenn congress could command Sec
rotary Weeks to appear before the
senate or house and explain his re-
marks. If congress adopts the plan
1t VIII be interesting to see just how
it solves the problem of privilege. I"
1t is extremely doubtful whether
congress grants cabinet members
the right to appear without also
insisting that cabinet members
shall appear whenever a proper sum-
mons is served upon them.
May Get in Debate
Furthermore, cabinet members in
going before congress will have to
take their chances in the rough and
tumble of legislative debate. They

NO EXTRA Federal
JUDGE~FO GEORGIA:

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The
senate and house conferees today
gave an additional federal judge to
the New Jersey, New Mexico, least
ern Illinois district, and the middle
Tennessee districts and struck from
the bill the senate provision for an
additional Judge for Georgia.
This broke a deadlock on the bill
to create a score or more federal
judges.
Twenty-four federal district judges
and one circuit judge in the fourth
circuit would be authorized under
the conferees' agreement which soon
will be presented to the house and
senate. The original house bill pro-
viGed % additional judges and the
senate bill "a, but distributed diff
ferently.
In addition to New Jersey, New
Mexico and the middle Tennessee
aud eastern Illinois districts the bill
authorizes the following additional
judges in districts in which the SEN
a.o and house bill were in agree
ment. Two each in Massachusetts
and southern New York, and one in
eastern New York, eastern Pennsyl-
vania, western Pennsylvania, north
eru Texas, southern Florida, eastern
Michigan, northern Ohio, northern
Illinois. Minnesota, eastern Missouri,
western Missouri, eastern Oklahoma,
Montana, northern California, south
ern California and Arizona, one.
The house opposed vigorously the
senate amendments providing add
tional judges in Georgia, New Jer-
sey and New Mexico, the senate
conferees finally being compelled to
yield on the Georgia judgship. The
senate was equally opposed to au
thor.zing additional judges provided
in the house bill for the middle Ten.
nessee and eastern Tennessee dis
tr;cts, but it's conferees yielded, it
was said, as the house managers
did on the senate additions in order
to break the deadlock which has
held the bill for several weeks.

Under Death Sentence
Man Pens Life Story

SAVANNAH, Ga, June 24.-B. w.
Davis, whose friends are signing a
petition to present to Governor
Hardwick asking that his death SEN
tence be committed to life, has CON-
pleted his life's story. 1t is a
lengthy affair He was convicted Of
killing T. E. White.
Davis, in his statement, says he
should be allowed a place of refuge
under the Mosaic law for the killing
Of q fellow man without knowledge
Of the crime. He refers readers to
Deuteronomy 1874. He says the laws
OF Georgia and other states are bas-
ed upon the law God gave Moses on
Mount Sinai.
He declares his mind was an alb
solute blank when he killed White
and therefore argues he should not
be hanged for the crime.

WATERMELON WEEK
To START JULY ).

Designating the week Of July as
Watermelon Week." Governor
Hardwick on Saturday issued a
proclamation calling upon the citi-
ems of Georgia and other states
throughout the Union to aid in the
consumption of the largest crop
Of watermelons in recent years.
The governor, in his proclamation,
calls attention to the fact that the
farmers generally have made Wig
orous fight against adverse condi-
lions this year and have produced
bumper crop of watermelons in an
effort to recoup their losses caused
by conditions beyond their control
Increased consumption Of melons,
particularly delicious fruit, will en-
courage the farmers to renewed ef-
forts declares the governor.
His proclamation follows:
Whereas, the year 1922 witnessed
an unprecedented increase in the
cultivation of the watermelon crop
in the state of Georgia, and this
is indeed a happy 'augury, for it in.
dicates that the farmers of this great
state are making a brave and de-
tern1ined effort to recoup the losses
they have suffered during the last
few years, as result of conditions
absolutely beyond their, control.
1.-THE world despises the man who
retreats before adversely, but it's
heart goes out to him who stands
his grounds and fights. This the
Georgia farmers has vigorously done.
But it is one thing to produce
large crop, and another thing to
dispose of it, and a heavy consump-
ton of this fruit throughout the
country this summer will furnish en-.
couragement and assistance to a
large number of citizens who are
ed in cultivating this product.
Therefore, I, Thomas W. Hard
wick, governor of the state of Geor.
gia, do hereby issue this, my proc
lamation and designate the week OF
July 8, 1922 as watermelon Week,
and urge the cooperation of gov
errors Of other states and fellow
Americans in disposing Of this great
CROP"

The objections to the North Otta-
wa pavement were overruled late yes
terday afternoon by Judge B, Harry
Reck in the county court. After ren.
dering the decision on the evidence
presented to the court next week,
Judge Reck summoned a jury for
August !, to question of benefits, and
to determine whether the territory
north of the Rock Island tracks would
be improved enough by the proposed
improvements to warrant laying the
pavement.
The courts decision was handed
down about four o'clock, after he had
spent the day reviewing the argu-
ments, evidence and exhibits present
ed to him.
Several of the objectors, it is said,
have expressed their willingness to
waive the hearing on the benets, pro-
vided they did not win their battle
brought on their objections. Some six
or seven objections were presented in
an effort to have the paving ordinance
on which the north section of the city
is to be improved, thrown out. Sew
eral Of these objections were based on
legal technicalities.
The objections which were overrul-
ed did not include the objections filed
by the Northern Illinois Light & Trac.
