UNDUE OPTIMISM
WARNED AGAINST

WASHINGTON, May 1e.-Al-
though business conditions are on
the mend in this country, the i'm
provement throughout the world,
and particularly in Europe, since
the war, has mot been sufficient to
Justify optimism as to the future"
Joseph Defrees, president Of the
chamber Of commerce of United
States, declared here today in open
ing the tenth annual meeting OF the
chamber. Laying before the conven-
ton, attended by some 5000 dele
gates from every section Of the coun-
try, the keynote problem to be con-
sidered, European Conditions in
Their Effect on American Business"
Mr.. Defrees said:
Hunger and it's kinsman, Boil
shevism, still stalk menacingly
across the stage, wars and rumors
of wars are yet in progress, boun-
daries are not fixed, governments
are not secure, finances are in tur-
MOL. Those things that we fought
for, the defeat Of militarism and the
safety of our own and other free
governments, have not yet been at
tanned. How and when we shall aid,
we who are most powerful to aid,
in restoring stability in Europe in
our own interest as we'll as in theirs
are, I assert, the greatest and most
immediate problems before American
business today"
The convention also was address
ed at the opening session by Arthur
Balfour, vice president Of the Asso-
citation of British Chambers of Com
merce, who spoke on the economic
and industrial situation Of Europe.

c. D. P. PROMISES
BROKEN, SAYS HULL

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 16.-
Solemn Republican pledges of econ
omy, Of tax reduction, Of sound,
stable business conditions, and most
Of all other pledges made to the
people before the last election have
been thrown to the wind"
Thus did Cordell Hull, national
Democratic chairman, who has been
in Tennessee in the interest Of his
candidacy TO regain his old seat in
congress, flay the Republicans today
in a statement prior to his departure
for the political battlefield of New
England.
Near panic conditions throughout
the country in 1921, following "the
innumerable Republican election
promises of sound prosperity and
the staggering losses that were suf-
fered by every class Of voter and
of honest business, have created in
the public mind a deep feeling OF
surprise, disgust and bitter disap-
pointment," Mr.. Hull declared.
Anarchy more nearly exists In
many of the government depart
ments at Washington today than
was ever dreamed off, Mr.. Hull con-
tinued.
There has been no real economy
and we see no tax relief, but de-
ficit Of $800,000,000 confronts the
federal treasury and the American
taxpayer for the fiscal year 1923.
"The Republican leadership has
no remedies for our business econ
onic and social ills. They flooded
the country with wild promises dur
ing 1920 and they are preparing to
flood it with the lamest excuses dur
ing 1922-or an excuse for every
promise"
The American people expected re-
suits and are not now in state Of
mind to listen to Excuses" said
Mr.. Hull.
"The same set Of Republican lead
ers who made the wholesale prom
ises in 1920, only to break each of
them after the election, are not now
entitled to be believed on any politi-
cal quections, and the voters will
not countenance the old discredited
crowd when they confront the peo-
pie with their long list Of excuses
during 1922" concluded Mr.. Hull.

ONCE DESPERATE OUTLAW.
VILLA, TO RUN FOR OFFICE

Ell PASO, Textile announce
ment that Francisco Villa intends to
run for the goVernorship Of the state
Of Durango comes on the eleventh
anniversary of his capture of
Juarez, when he was a Maerista gen
eral.
In a little more than eleven years
Villa has been hunted outlaw, gen
eral of a revolutionary army, die
tator of Mexico, border raider and
rancher. This governorship is the
first political office he ever has
sought, although he could have been
president of Mexico had he so
chosen.
Farm life, even if on a tract of
100000 acres, is irksome to Villa
after having spent eleven years in
the saddle, with the troops most
of the time.
Although he entered into solemn
compact with President Obregon to
"stay put" in return for which
Villa was given a small kingdom,
riches and peace, it remains to be
seen whether the former dictator
will regard the contract as a mere
scrap Of paper. For among the slip
ulations Villa agreed to was one
binding himself to keep out Of both
state and national politics.
Won't Be Bound
Villa doesn't like to be bound to
ANYTHING. His breaking away from
restraint, his violation Of his COM
pact, his defiance of the Obregon
administration, coming at the very
time when the United States was
about to extend recognition to Mex
leo, is fraught with grave possibill-
ties.
Villa may be induced to withdraw
his candidacy; he may stay in the
race and be defeated. But Mexican
officials are nervous, for whether
elected or defeated for office, they
fear it will start Villa on another
rampage.
If defeated, he will not take it
kindly. He could do many things in
resentment.
If elected he may want to super
sede federal powers. For Villa is
not content with being an under
ling.
So there you are-the same old
Villa, same old menace.
Reports from Durango are to the
effect that Villas announcement has
caused Juror. There is strong sup
port for Villa and strong opposition,
too, and Mexico is not accustomed to
settling it's big issues by ballot. The
state of Coahuila, a neighbor to Du-
range, is also disturbed and the fire,
if not quenched, may spread, for
Mexico hasn't had time yet to drop
the insurrecto habit.
Has Bodyguard Of 200
Villa has a bodyguard of 200 men,
all former soldiers, faithful and good
shots. He has many other employees
on his big ranch. Raising crops and
stock and marketing them may not
be profitable but they are not in
Villas line. He is not a farmer or
ranchman and subordinates super
wise all the work The ranch, it's
many tractors and other farm ma
chinery were toys for a while, but
the former dictator has grown tired
of playing with them and longs for
new game-and it may be the old
game, a game which kept Mexico
embroiled and which all but took
in the United States.
What Obregon will do Is not
known. Probably he doesn't know

Widow, Said to Have Been
FIeeced of $4,000, De-
cIareS He Won Trust with
Dominance"
I. G.. MATTHEW
RY RUTH ABELING

NEW YORK.-How did Alfred E.
Lindsay, former strikebreaker, once
indicted for white slavery, win and
hold the confidence of wealthy and
intelligent women, to the point of
getting control Of their fortunes es-
timated, altogether, around a million
dollars?
This question Z asked Mrs. Dor
othy Atwood, New York society
woman, in her beautiful apartment
just off Riverside drive. Mrs. At
wood trusted Lindsay with $4,000.
And lost it. Her reply was:
with dominance"
Mrs. Atwood is a Mexican, auburn
haired and petite. She has Travelled
in Europe and speaks four Ian
circumstances when her husband
died.
"Alfred Lindsay absolutely dom
happened to be-" continued Mrs. At
wood.
He was not a cultured man. His
English was bad. His figure was
ungainly. He was too huge, too
awkward.
But he dominated! 1t amounted
almost to defiance.
when I met him at the home of
Mrs. Lillian Duke, from whom he is
said to have obtained several hun
dred thousand dollars, I had the
feeling, Now here is a diamond in
the rough
Voice Not Pleasant
His voice was not pleasant. He
was not suave, not finished, but he
instantly began talking and held the
center of interest. He was clever
enough not to talk about himself,
but about other important people.
AS we became better acquainted
he talked of these important people
In connection with his business. Ma
turally, when he had been we'll intro
duCed and offered to invest money
Tor me, l felt it was safe to trust
him.
He was clever enough to study
won1an's moods. He knew" said
Mrs. Atwood, "in an almost uncan-
ny way, with an almost phychic
sense, the hour of least resistance.
He knew, without asking, when
things were not going just right.
He never offered sympathy. That
would have been crude, wouldn't
tt?' Mrs. Atwood smiled, cynical
ly. "But he took that moment for
bigger things-for instance, for de-
Gliding that my jewels were unsafe
in my own house.
He came in that particular day."
Mrs. Atwood went on, land told me
that was wearing too many jewels,
that it was unsafe for woman
alone as I am, to wear gorgeous
jeWelry, and he asked me if he
might take it to his safe at the Astor
where it would be out of harms
way.
Il objected. I fatty refused. But
he simply took some of the most
valuable pieces at which he had
been looking and walked away with
them.
Not Handsome Man
Fond of him?" Mrs. Atwood re-
peated the question. Goodness, no!
He had a red nose, great flabby
jowls, gray eyes which were too
light and too shifty. His chin was
! too short. The space from the base

DAYLIGHT SAVING
CONF USES CAPITOL
BY BURTON LEE
Ueased Wire Service to The Journal.l
DOWNRIGHT. 1922

Copyright, 1929
WASHINGTON, May 16.-"Day-
light saving, Washington STYLE" is
far form an unqualified success. To-
day it entered the second 24-hour
phase. The hands of the clock have
not been set ahead sixty minutes.
Instead the chief government depart
ments, the district generally, and
the majority of the stores, are start
ing work an hour ahead Of time to
secure a corresponding period for
recreation in the afternoon.
Considerable confusion has result
ed. Theaters, in fact every vehicle
of night life, operates on the usual
hours. No one is retiring any earlier.
The inevitable result is a decided in
crease in the number Of persons late
for work or school.
But it is the housewives Of Wash
ington who suffer the most. Be-
cause of the housing situation the
majority of servants here sleep away
from their places of employment.
When people went to work at
o'clock this worked out all right.
The servants were able to get to
their places Of employment in time
to prepare and serve breakfast so
that those of the household who had
to, could get to work at o'clock.
This is not the case today. Many
of the help can not get to work an
hour earlier. Others fatty refuse to
do so. They point out that meals
are not served any earlier in the
afternoon and that all the beneht
they receive is an additional hour OF
work.
The same condition holds good
with women heads Of Households
who have no assistance. They must
get I'D an hour earlier to- prepare
breakfast for husband, father or
children, and it is almost Impossible
to advance the evening meal. Inc
inevitable result IS that the women
generally are lined up in opposition
to the experiment which, by the way.
was initiated at the suggestion OF
President Harding, who is opposed
to setting the clock ahead an hour
in the ordinary daylight saving
plan"
The department stores for the
most part are opening an hour ear
lier. But their managers very frank
ly say that it is a wasted sixty MN
utes. 1t does not attract an early
customer, while closing as they do
at to $50 they lose the late after
noon trade which they say has been
extremely worth while.
The plan will, however, be given
complete opportunity to demonstrate
it's worth. President Harding made
this very plain to a delegation or
bankers who called upon him to urge
that the clocks be set ahead an hour.
He refused to make such recon-
mendation to congress which alone
has the power to order it done in
the district, and told the bankers
that there would be no change In
the earlier hours until time enough
had elapsed to afford opportunity to
properly judge whether it was
good or a bad plan.
The district commissioners want
ed to order the clocks set ahead.
They were told by their legal advls-
ers they did not have such power.
The proposal has been made that
they Invite the district to take
such action. But if they do so they
have no power to compel those who
refuse to take such action.

Georgia Peaches
Bring Good Price

MACON, Ga, May 16.-This week
will be busy one in the peach belt.
1t is expected that between fifty
and seventy-five cars Of peaches will
move out of the Byron, Marshall
vile and Fort Valley district this
week, according to railroad officials
here. A carload of the early va
riety left Byron Tuesday morning
for eastern markets.
If the weather continues warm
like it has been for the past two
weeks, the fruit will ripen fast, it is
said. Peach buyers state that about
seventy-five per cent Of the 1922
crop has already been sold to fruit
concerns. The peaches are being
shipped to different points east and
west and are bringing good prices.
The bulk Of the early crop will
be marketed within the next week.
There are not as many peaches this
year as last, but the quality this
year over-balances this. The grow
ers are more than pleased over the
outlook and feel that they will mar
ket their crop this year for a good
price.
