H, &F. s. RAILROAD
SALE ON TUESDAY

MACON, Ga, May 6.-The sale
Of the Hawkinsville and Florida
Southern railroad, which has been
set for next Tuesday, will proceed
as scheduled, following the an
nouncement in the Bibb superior
court here today that attorneys for
the Georgia, Florida and Southern
railroad, the Hawkinsville and Flori-
da Southern railroad and the Union
Trust and Savings company, of Gin.
cinnati, Ohio, had come to an agree
ment on the question of the sale
and the disposal of the proceeds.
This ended the action, which was
begun Friday, when hearing on
an injunction asking the court to
set aside the sale and the present
receiver and the second case was
disposed Of by consent agreement
signed by all parties to the suit.
Under the agreement the net pro.
ceeds Of the sale will be paid to the
Union Trust and Savings company
as trustees of the bondholders, hold
ing 1871 900 worth of bonds. 1t is
expected that the sale will bring a
gross amount of $225,000 into the
hands of the receiver.
By this agreement the purchaser
or purchasers of the road and equip
ment Of the Hawkinsville and Flori-
Lda Southern will secure a clear ii.
tie to the property.
Following the adjustment of the
proceeds of the sale, there probably
will be action taken by the Union
Trust and Savings company against
the Georgia, Florida and Southern
to determine whether or not the
difference between the amount paid
from the sale of the H. & F. S. and
the amount due from the G., F. & S.
as guarantors Of the $671, 900, is
now due or thirty-three years from
date. This is purely an action be-
tween the trust company and the
G., F. & S. r. r., and does not in
volve the title of the H. & F. S..
railroad property in any way.
Following the consent agreement,
it was stated by Judge J. T. George
that in event there was an attempt
to junk the northern end of the
road, there might be some further
action taken in behalf Of the north
ern patrons to save it and keep it
as a going concern. Nothing def
nite will be forthcoming, however.
until after the sale TUESDAY,

The Western Trim
tn ENTATIVE plans for a west
ern trip began to be formed
IIn,nr.n lnnnnnr.I

TN ENTATlVE plans Tor west
ern trip began to be formed
in the White House because
of the urgent insistence from Dem
ocratic friends on the Hill that moth
ing could win the fight for the
League of Nations except direct
appeal to the country by the presi-
dent in person.
Admiral Grayson, the presidents
physician and consistent friend, who
knew his condition and the various
physical crises through which he
had passed here and on the other
side, from some of which he had
not yet recovered, stood firm in his
resolve that the president should not
go west, even intimating to me
| that the presidents life might pay
the forfeit if his advice were dis
| regarded. Indeed, it needed not the
trained eye of physician to see
| that the man whom the senators
| were now advising to make Swing
around the CIRCLE was on the verge
of a nervous breakdown. More than
| once since his return from the peace
| conference, had urged him to take
a needed rest; to get away from the
turmoil of Washington and recu-
| perate; but he spurned this advice
and resolved to go through to the
end.
No argument of ours could draw
him away from his duties, which
now involved not only the fight for
the ratification of the treaty, but
the threatened railway strike, with
| it's attendant evils to the country,
and added administrative burdens
| growing out of the partisanship
fight which was being waged in con.
| gress for the ostensible purpose OF
reducing the high cost Of living.
Ready for Any Sacrifice
One day, after Democratic sena'
| tors had been urging the western
trip, I took leave to say to the pres
| ident that, in his condition, disas-
| trous consequences might result Ii
he should follow their advice. But
| he dismissed my solicitude, saying
| in a weary way: 81 know that am
at the end of my tether, but my
friends on the Hill say that the trip
is necessary to save the treaty, and
I am willing to make whatever per
sonal sacrifice is required, for II
! the treaty should be defeated, God
only knows what would happen to
the world as a result of it. In the
! presence of the great tragedy which
| now faces the world, no decent man
can count his own personal fortunes
| in the reckoning. Even though, in
my condition, it might mean the

Two Women Politicians, One
of America and One of
Britain, Exchange Greet
ings in Washington
BY CAROLINE VANCE
(Leased Wire Service TO me Journal.)
copyright, 1929

WASHINGTON May 6.-Amert-
cas- only woman member of con-
gress and England's only woman
member of parliament, met in Wash
| ington this week, and the lady from
Oklahoma shared generously in the
spotlight which beat about the lady
from Plymouth.
Miss Alice Robertson's somewhat
cubicule figure doomed beside the
lithesomeness of Lady Astor like
soft, gray dove, who regards quiz
zically the dartings of a bright-wing-
ed humming bird.
A better simile, perhaps, might
be found in the flower kingdom and
Lady Astor likened to one Of the del
icately vivid orchids she is so fond
of wearing, while gray-haired, Sob
erly clad Miss Alice is like a pussy
willow. And pussy willows, you
know, have backbone. They stand
stiff, straight, and uncompromiSing
.. Miss Alice has. neither title
nor a hundred million dollars, nor a
slim figure, nor brace of dimples.
She could not, for instance, step up
straighten his tie and tell him that
he would always be reelected be-
cause the ladies are so susceptible
and get away with it gracefully. She
does not shine forth from a back
ground of one of the first families
of Virginia, an adoring husband and
six appealing children.
Miss Alice is a stalwart; Lady
he.ta to- P11t both havn
voted against certain legislation in
troduced solely in behalf of women.
Lady Astor voted against giving
women equal rights Of divorce. Miss
Alice voted against the maternity
bill. ....
Miss Robertson has taken a bold
stand upon the bonus question. Lady
Astor agrees with her that the bonus
is an unwise piece of legislation, but
Lady Astor has nothing to lose by
making such statement except
| the good graces of a congressman
who rebuked her for putting in
| to American affairs. On the other
hand Miss Robertson, in standing
| by her convictions in the bonus mat
| ter was forced to offend the boys
for whom she has often expressed the
greatest affection, and at the same
| time to further endanger her politi-
cal career, already in jeopardy, be-
cause Of her vote on the maternity
bill.
But whatever other people might
say about either of them, they APP
parently have a most sincere appre-
citation Of each other. Lady Astor's
greeting of Miss Robertson, when
they met for the first time, was a
warm tribute. Miss Robertson euolo-
gized Lady Astor afterward, when
she said:
II have been impressed with an
appreciation of the fact that the
safest and sanest women active in
political work are wives and moth
ers, accustomed to think for the fu-
lures of their children, and actuated
| by the unselfishness' which is the

c, D. P. IS WORRIED
BY INDIANA UPSET

WASHINGTON, J., May 6. - In
diana's political upset, the defeat of
Harry New for the Republican sena-
torial nomination, is bad omen for
the future of political machines, in
the opinion of observers here. 1t
has doubled the interest of the poll
ticians in Pennsylvania approach
ing primary election. -
In both Indiana and Pennsylvania,
the Republican machine organiza-
tons have been well organized,
strong and controlling. ~
News defeat by Beveridge on
Tuesday marked to "a degree the
failure of the Indiana machine to
function perfectly. It broke down
at q critical time. And that has
served to center the attention of
political leaders of all parties on the
threat of a similar breaking down
of the old-time machine in Penn
Sylvania. A..
Every straw that shows the direc-.
ton of the political winds this year
is watched with anxious eyes. In
diana was one straw.
~ Pennsylvania is another straw.
But if Clifford Pinchot should cap
ture the Republican gubernatorial
nomination in Pennsylvania, right
on the heels of Beveridge's nomina-
ton in Indiana, no amount of ex-
planning, the political wiseacres here
rabouts admit, could dispose of the
+, cumulative psychological effect on
the voters of the whole country.
: Pinchot's progressive supporters
claim that is just what will hap
pen. One of them who was here re-
Gently predicted in all seriousness
that Pinchot would even carry Phila-
delphia, and would utterly wreck the
old machine all over the state. Aft
err Beverages victory, the old line
organization men are not so ready to
dispute Pinchot's prediction.
With a presidential election only
two years ahead the possibility of
the people refusing longer to stick
by the organizations, in either or
both parties, is giving the profes.
sional politicians real concern.
The Democrats naturally stand to
benefit more than the Republicans
in national sense, from such a
breaking down of the party ma
chinery, should it become general.
But all politicians have a peculiar
reverence for the Organization"
hence, regardless of party, they are
watching with knitted brows for the
result of the great struggle being
waged in the Keystone state.

To Mark Heroes Graves

CAMBRIDGE, Ca, May Con
the public highway between Balm
bridge and Chattahoochee, Fla, is
the site Of Fort Recovery, where a
number of soldiers of the wars from
1912 to 1921 are buried. On the site
is a monument with inscriptions of
these facts. A canon has also been
erected, but a dense growth of trees
obstructs the view to passersby.
Mrs. c. S. Hodges was appointed
by the local D. A. r. chapter to in
vestigate the number of soldiers
buried there, that the Daughters Of
the Revolution might place boulder
with tablet by the side of the road
that those in passing would know
that these men lie nearby.
Mrs. Hodges has enlisted the aid
of Senator Thomas e. Watson in
this matter, as we'll as those soldiers

CHAPTER Tx.
Taft'S Attitude

Mr.. Taft answered the question Of
one of the Republican critics if Ar
ticle Z would not involve us in war
in tine following statement:
"HoY much will it involve us
in war? Little, if any. In the
first place, the universal boy
colt, first to be applied, will i'm
pose upon most nations such a
whitening isolation and starva-
ton that in most cases it will
be effective. In the second place,
we'll not be drawn into any war
in which it will not be reason
able and convenient for us to
render efficient aid, because the
plan of the council must be APP
proved by our representatives,
as already explained. In the third
place, the threat of the univer-
sal boycott and the union of
overwhelming forces Of the mem
bers of the league, if need be,
will hold every nation from vi
olating Article x and Articles
XII, XIII and XIV. unless there
is a world conspiracy. as in this
war, in which case the earliest
we get into the war the better"
evidently Mr.. Taft did not look
Article x as the bugaboo that
'1gc pretended it was, for he
lie - covers the Monroe
- and extends it to the
WoI.u. The league is not SUI
per-sOvereign, but a partnership
intended to secure to us and all
nations only the sovereignty we
can properly have, j. E., SOW
ereignty regulated by the inter-
national law and morality con-
sistent with the same sovereign
ty of other nations. The United
States is not under this consti-
tuition to be forced into actual
war against it's will. This league
is to be regarded in conflict with
the advice of Washington only
from a narrow and reactionary
viewpoint"
Herbert Hoover, now a member
of Mr.. Harding's cabinet, in a speech
delivered on October 5, 1919, an
swering the argument that Amer
lea would be compelled to send her
boys to the other side, said:
1--WE hear the cry that the league
obligates that our sons be sent tC
fight in foreign lands. Yet the very
intent and structure of the league
is to prevent wars. There is no OBJ
legation for the United States to en-
gage in military operations or to al
low any interference with our in
ternal affairs without the full con-
sent Of our representatives in the
league"
And further discussing the revi-
sion of the treaty, Mr.. Hoover said
II am confident that if we attempt
now to revise the treaty we shall
tread on road through European
chaos. Even if we manage to keep
our soldiers out of it, we will not
escape fearful economic losses. If the
league is to break down, we must
at once prepare to fight. Few PEG
pie seem to realize the desperation
to which Europe has been reduced
