MRS. MANSON URGES

Mrs. V. c.. Manson, superintend-
ent of the Georgia Training School
for Boys, at Milledgeville, conferred
with Governor Walker THURSDAY

ed depredations at the school by
masked men. General n. B. For
est, grand dragon, and Paul Eth

Mrs. Manson told the governC-
that there has been no further dis
order or attempted raids at the train
ing school since the recent arrest
of ]. j. Nolan, a former employe of
the institution. She added, however.
that the presence of machine guns
lat the institution had undoubtedly
had a quieuing effect, and she urged
upon the governor that neither Of
the guns be removed from the
school.
IT feel fully capable of protecting
the boys in the institution and the
employees" said Mrs. Manson cour-
ageously, "but I do not want to be
left without necessary provisions to
support my determination.
1--WE are able at the school to ma
nipulate the machine guns, and L
simply want to let the laWleSs ele-
ment understand thaat / am pre-
pared at any hour of the night or
day to turn the machine guns loose
upon suspicious characters who may

"As have said repeatedly I am
solely responsible for the conduct of
the training school for boys, and if
any mob is dissa tisfied with the man
ner in which the institution is con-
Quoted. L am perfect ywilling to
meet them face to face"
General Forrest and Mr.. Ether
idge declared that they were
tired of having depredations
committed over the state in the
name of the. khan, and that the mem
bers of the order in Baldwin coun-
ty ares indignant at the implication
that the Ku Klux Khan in any way
responsible for the depredations at
the Georgia Training school.
LAS officers of, the khan we are de-
termined to exert every effort to
preserve law and order and to pro-
tect the name of the khan" explain
ed General Forrest. THE Khan is Of
fering a reward of $500 for the ar

Gov. Hardee Appoints
Third Man on St. Marys
Canal Commission

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, Aug. 49,
Governor Hardee today appointed
E. w. Bailey, of Fernandina, as
member of the Florida state commits
sion for securing construction OF
the Atlantic, Gulf and Mississippi
canal across the state. Other mem
bers are John G.. Rugge, of Apalachi-
cola, and Mrs. F. r. S. Phillips, of
Tallahassee.
The commission was created by the
legislature OF 1921. It's purpose is to
further the construction of a sea
level canal across Florida connect
ing the Atlantic with the Gulf of
Mexico, which would accommodate
large vessels. Commencing at Cum
berland Sound on the Atlanta sea-
board, the waterway would extend
thence up the st. Mary's river,
across the Okefenoke swamp, thence
to st. Georges sound on the gulf.
Construction of the canal would
make it possible to bring into use
$4,000 miles Of navigable streams
draining the central and southeast
ern sections of the United States,
proponents of the idea claim. 1t
would largely solve transportation
problems of the Mississippi valley
and the southeastern section ~of the
country as we'll as to simplify the
question of national defense, they
claim.
The canal would cut many hun
dreds of miles from the mileage
Travelled by vessels between EuropS
and gulf ports.

was appointed by Governor Hardee
as supervisor OF registration in ana
for st. Johns county. He succeeds

Ak CRIME SUSPECT
IS BEING HELD IN
BIRMINGHAM JAIL

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August Is.
Through the arrest of Sam Luca.
alias Nick Ferrito, Birmingham Off
GERS are Of the opinion they have
the man responsible for the numer-
Gus ak murders which have shocked
the people Of Birmingham for the
past two years, and which have
never been solved.
Luca claims that his real name is
| Nick Ferrito. He is an Italian, and
claims he cannot speak English, al
though attendants at the Jefferson
county Jail, where the man is con-
fined, say he writes English well.
Luca was arrested a day or two
ago by deputy sheriffs on the charge
of Bookkeeping and locked up in the
county Jail. Chief Deputy Sheriff
H. S. Hill says it has been learned
that Luca has a record in New Or
leans, where he is alleged to have
been a member of notorious black
mail gang. Owing to this fact, 1t
is believed that Luca may be the
man who welded the AK in the
murder of eleven people and the Sc
rious injury of fifteen others in
Birmingham, during the past two
years. In the meantime, officers
are doing all within their power to
secure evidence to connect the man
with these crimes.
Luca says he has been in Blrm-
ingham for about two years, that
his real name is Nick Ferrito. He
say that when he came to Birming-
ham he assumed the name of Sam
| Luca. \ He declares that this is the
/ reason of his being accused of crime.
He says that the real Sam Luca is a
notorious criminal, who is a this
time serving a term of ten years in
an italian prison.
Since his arrest by county officers
a number of government charges
have also been filed against Luca.
Based on information obtained by
| J. T.. Sprinkle, chief of the Jefferson
county bureau of Identification,
Luca is suspected of being connect
| ed with a kidnapping gang of ma
tional reputation.
Officers here are of the opinion
| that Birmingham numerous ak
murders were the work of a gang
| of Italian blackmailers, and that
| Luca, was a member of the gang, II
not the head of it. The merchants
killed or injured here were mostly
ell Italians, and conducted small
stores in remote sections of the city,
as a rule. However, some of the
stores were close up in town. The
last victims of the ak fiend were
Luig Vitellaro and his wife, Jose
phine. They were found in their
! store, 2431 Eighth avenue, North,
last February. This store Is located

Coolidge which is in direct -ontrast
to the manner of his predecessor
Not that Mr.. Harding's geniality
wasn't inspiring, for it was one OF
the finest evidences of comradeship
in public office ever seen But Mr..
Coolidge is diferent-thats all.
At this point it may be worthwhile
to say that Washington correspond

president do so with the idea Of ad-
Vising the American people concern
ing a man relatively unknown in the
White House and not with the pur-

his successor. 1t remains for the
next six months to tell the story
Of whether the Coolidge method is
more effective tIan the Harding
method But at the outset it is
interesting to observe that the new
president operates in an entirely diff
fereht way.
~. Harding grew up in a news
paper office, the latter as a lawyer
Mr.. Harding was a good mixer. He
was on intimate terms with almost
everybody. The new executive has
kind of magnetism that peers out
of friendly eyes, but he is not the
political type at all. That's one
reason why he wisely chose former
former Representative Slemp, OF
Virginia, Republican, to be his pri
waite secretary.
His Selection of Slemp
Mr.. Coolidge didn't know Mr.
Slemp. Nor does he know many
members of congress very well. Sc
he consulted the leaders of both
houses and asked them to suggest
the names of men who did know
ongress and who did know officia

| S1emp came to be chosen, and il
gives an interesting sight into the
workings of the Coolidge mind
Another thing he did in the first
| twenty-four hours which is indica

| toward his job. He was advised by
Secretary George Christian that one
| of the things which took up Mr.
Harding's time and worried him con

Christian said he thought it woulc
be a good plan if these cases were
left almost wholly to the attorney

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Upon
his return from the funeral OF War
rem Harding, President Coolidge will
feel more free to discuss political
issues and the politics OF mis- admin
istration, but the country must be
patient with the new executive. He
| will not be hurried in making impor-
tant decisions in matters of state.
In his own. words he will not hest.
| tate to be 'as progressive as science,
or as reactionary as the multiplied
ton table"
Calvin Coolidge comes from state
| where they do not rush headlong into
unnecessary and unwise political sit
uations--a state which gave the ma

Civil war period. Stephen A. Doug

are planning to shelve Coolidge next
year should heed the warning of

known to run away from a fight.

series On the career and character

TO learn that Mr.. Coolidge, up to the

place on the Harding ticket, had Wis

| arrived in Washington in the fall of
1920 on ehis way to campaign in the
border states he was practically a
stranger to the city that in three
years time was to hail him as the
nations chief.
| Difficult to Interview
| Washington newspaper correspon-
dents flocked to the Willard hotel in
| 1920 to osee and talk with this new
figure in national politics. Coolidge
listened to the reporters. Some of
the persistent ones tried to draw him
out on public questions but, with his
usual care and adroitness, he parted
every loaded query and while the
scribes retired with many scrubbed
I notes, they had obtained precious
little copy from the new vice presi-
Dental nominee.
