ATLANTA, Ca, Aug. l0.-The
flight Of Mrs. Elizabeth Northcutt,
pretty young widow, today deepened
the shadow of mystery shrouding a
pistol and knife battle here last
night. which probably win cost the
life Of J. w. Gilbert, and resulted in
serious injuries for c. p. Henson,

from jealousy on the part OF Gilbert

utes Fuller, according to police, un-
loaded a shotgun against his assail-
ants and both fell seriously wounded.
Frank Jones, the fourth man in the
fight, was with Fuller when the men
met, and is said to have taken his
companions part in the encounter.
Fuller, who is being held in jail
pending the investigation, declared
he fired only after his assailants
pulled knives" and that he was
compelled to shoot ''in self-defense.

A speeding up Of the campaign

that attention may be given to the

Meetings Of dealers in the va

BEARS
BURDEN OF
GRIEF
Dr.. Harding Gives Sympathy
to Wife Of Son in Her
Sorrow.
BY w. r. UPDEGRAFF,

MARION, Ohio, Aug. 10.-An old
man and fast-aging woman, both
borne down by overwhelming sor-
row, gazed into each others eyes
today - and wondered, perhaps,
whose loss was the greater-beloved
husband, or cherished son. They
were the most tragic figures of all
the thousands in Marion today.
DIR. George T. Harding, ST., sew
enty-nine-year-old father of the ma
TONS dead President, grayed and
stopped, was a bit bewildered, a bit
awed and overcome at being the
focal point today Of the teary eyes
of multitude who extended to him
silent sympathy.
Both Had RestfuI Night.
Both Mrs. Harding and DR.. Hard
ing had a restful night, it was said
at the Harding homestead this
morning, and both were grinly re-
solved to go through the trying day
without a break" Mrs. Harding
did much to comfort the aged man,
and he, in turn, Somforted her.
Mrs. Harding spent the night at
the Harding home, instead of going
to the home of her brother, C. B.
King, as she had planned.
Florence King Harding bears
easily her years, capped by the
tragic climax of a week of such pain
and suffering as would overnight
whlten the hair Of an ordinary
woman.
Unyielding, unconquered, she has
maintained her high purposed sup
plication, II will not break down."
till today. What the night or the
coming days Of unreconcilable grief
may bring, no one knows.
God is with her." said a friend
today, a woman who went to school
with Florence King, and worked
church suppers in happy bygone
Marion years.
DR.. Sawyer has been for several
years Mrs. Harding's personal physi-
clan. That she will come through
the heart-piercing experience of to-
day with the same spirit of Spartan
fortitude that has been hers all along
the 1900 miles of throbbing hearts
from San Francisco to Washington
and from the Capital back home to
Marion, was DR.. Sawyer's belief to-
day.
AS to the father.
He's an exceptional man, keen,
alive, sharp" persons Of Marion will
tell you.
But he is old, and this has hit
him terribly hard" they will add
with a shake of the head.
But the father Of a President Of
the United States, the first in the
Nations history to outlive his son
and see him die in the highest Of
flee free people can offer, may
hold up silvered head and
straighten bowed shoulders to meet
the agonies that death alone brings.
DR.. Harding has always been an
active man. maintaining his prac.
tice up to the day of his sons
death. But since that tragic night
in San Francisco, the door of his
office. on the second floor of the
Marion Star building, has been
closed. Just once, the Saturday
after the death. did he enter his
office, and then only for a few
moments.
. Warren, his son, has ever been
the apple Of his eye. When the
dead President, as a young man,
desired to be a publisher, the faith.
err put up the money to see him
started, helped finance the Marion
Star and all along life's way, which
at many turns was hard and stony
for the man who today lies dead.

Wholesale Disregard for Cor
rect Fat Percentage in
Milk Is Cause.

Forty lunch-room proprietors in
Washington may be Prosecuted by
DR.. William C. Fowler, District
health officer, for selling milk con-
tanning less than 3.5 per cent but
terfat, the standard in the District,
1t was said today.
The proprietors Of the lunch
rooms will be called to the District
building next week for a hearing.
Some of them l will let off with
a warning, but the others who have
deliberately violated the law, I in.
tend to prosecute" DR.. Fowler said
today.
when a person goes into a lunch
room and buys milk he is entitled to
milk with 3.5 per cent butterfat.
!. intend to see that he gets It,"
DIR. Fowler, several weeks ago,
launched campaign in the city
in an effort to compel lunch rooms
to serve milk with the proper
amount of. butterfat. Analysis was
made OF 1873 milk samples taken
from various eating houses. In two
score instances. the butterfat con-
tents were below the standard.
The health officer said today that
he is DESTROYS that lunch rooms
serve their milk in bottles, thus re-
lieving themselves of the RESPONSE
bility for the butterfat contents.
The responsibility would then rest
on the dairy which sold the milk
originally.
Lunch rooms here usually put all
their milk in large containers, dip
ping it whenever an order for milk
is received. AS a result, the cream
usually settles in the top Of the
container. Persons who get the
milk from the bottom Of the con
tainer are therefore deprived of
the proper amount of hutterfat.

ate and mild political elements for
ex-senator Kenyon.
In Wisconsin and Minnesota and
in North Dakota there is a virtual
certainty of a considerable supply
OF delegates for Senator La Fol-
lette.
West Has It's Crop.
In California there is the pros
#pective candidacy OF Senator John
son, which has the quiet and unan-
nounced support of various Eastern
Senators of high consequence. 1t
has been widely suggested in such
quarters here lately that Assistant
Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt
would be an apt running mate for
Johnson. Roosevelt's views on for
eign affairs are said to be in many
ways similar to Johnson's, and it
is held that a johnson and Roose-
velt'' ticket might retain for the
Republican party at this time the
wavering allegiance of many pro-
gressive Republicans who are
threatening to go Democratic, but
who might be recalled from that
step by an echo of their favorite
Roosevelt and Johnson" ticket Of
1912.
The strength behind the Johnson
candidacy is today, from the pro-
fessional political standpoint, i'm
mensely greater than any strength
that johnson had in 1920. His con-
sentative Senatorial colleagues for
the most part now regard him with
little of the alarmed suspicion with
which large numbers of them re-
garded him four years ago. Ger
tain of them are now his unobtru-
sive but emphatic supporters, Just
as certain large business interests
in California, which formerly stood
in terror of him, are now engaged
in earnest recommendations of him
nationally as well as locally.
Meanwhile the Coolidge candi-
dacy is the candidacy of a man
who for more than two years pre-
sided over the Senate and lived
in the Senatorial atmosphere.
May Be Free-for-AH.
Additionally 1t is noted that there
are many Senator'S such as Lodge
and Brandegee and McNary and
Tess, who are not mentioned as
Presidential possibilities, but who
are gentlemen of enormous poiiti-
cal experience and effectiveness
and open or hidden power.
1t Is finally noted that at this
time few Republican governors are
centers of the Presidential gossip
which in former times so many
Republican governors have aroused.
1t is concluded that the princi-
nal scene of the maneuvers leading
to the events of the NEXT J2en1Ib-
lican Presidential convention will
be concentrated more than ever
before into the Senate cloak rooms.
The Senate will be won to an ap-
proVal of President COOLIDGE
policies as President, or else It will
produce the candidates who will
turn the next Republican national
convention into a free-for-all in
