with French nobIeman, but the in,

The rohleman, whose name was
Antoine de Vallombrosa, harbored
a suspicion that Roosevelt was his
enemy, and. when he was indicted
for murder, Roosevelt urged his pros
ecution. Receiving the nobleman' S
challenge, Roosevelt wrote on the
back of the letter in a characteristic
manner that he was always on
hand"

threat was merely bluff. The Col

GEORGIA S OYSTER
INDUSTRY IN PERIL,
TW|TTy DECLARES

The time is near when Georgia
will have no oyster industry unless
laws are enacted to compel the re-
planting Of the oyster beds along the
coast, according TO Peter S. Twitty,
state game and fish commissioner,
who returned Monday from an in
spection trip in the vicinity of
Brunswick and Darien. Mr.. Twitty
will go to Savannah next week, and
look. into the fishing and oyster in
dustry in that vicinity.
There are estimated to be more
than 100000 acres of oyster beds and
marshes in Georgia, which are pub
lie property, Mr.. Twitty said. These
beds are being rapidly depleted by
fishermen who are not required to re-
plant the beds. There are thousands
Of tons of oyster shells piled along
the river banks near the coast, that
should have been put back into the
water to afford a rough surface for
he spawn to attach themselves, Mr.
Twitty stated. ~ In three or four
wears each shell would have pro-
duced an avearge sized oyster.
The state derives a very small in
come from the oyster industry at
present, merely licensing boats at
from 81 to $40 per year, according to
the size of the boat. However, the
oyster packers would be willing to
pay the state many times its pres
ent income from the oyster industry,
if they were assured Of the perma'
nence of the industry and were pro-
tected from poachers when they re-
planted the beds they are nov u.s.
ing, Mr.. Twitty was informed by Of
ficials Of the oyster packing compa-
MES.
my mind is not made up as to
the best plan to follow, but I am
convinced that something should be
done to protect the states vast oys-
ter beds, and that such protection
would be the means of a big income
to the state in the future" Mr..
TWitty declared.

CHANGE IN CALL
FOR EXTRAS SESSION
URGED BY ELDERS

Claiming to have information that
twothirds Of the members Of the
state senate will vote against tax
reform bills at the extra session of
the legislature beginning November
Z, Representative Herschel II. Ed
ers. of Tattnall county, has request
ed Governor Walker to amend the
extra session call So that a resolu-
ton may be passed calling for
constitutional convention.
Mr.. Elders, in a statement given
out in Atlanta Monday, declared
that a constitutional convention is
the only method Of settling the tax,
school and court procedure ques-
tons, and ending the era of too
much politics in Georgia.
"For twelve months I have stud
led the tax question in Georgia and
the other forty-seven states" said
Mr.. Elders. "When I went to the
regular session last summer knew
the tax question was the biggest
thing that could come before us,
and if rightly solved would be the
greatest blessing that could come
to our people. I introduced bills
covering eight fundamental PROPOSE
tons of tax reform. If put into law,
they would relieve the farmers and
laborers and the poor people ana
the land from the great burden OF
unjust taxes and place it on the
rich. and at the same time develop
this great state of ours"
"Bv the end of the regular ses-
sion I was convinced that there was
not the necessary support In the
house or senate to pass my reform
measures. I know today we have
enough votes in the house to pass
them. I regret to say am re-
liably informed that two-thirds of
the senate will not pass tax reform
bills. 1 am trying to talk plainly
to the people of Georgia.
ST constitutional convention is the
way to settle the tax question and
the school question, and the refor-
nation of our court procedure, and
everv other vital thing that needs
reforming.
"Eight years ago, I lost this fight
in the house and four years ago l
lost it in the senate, and l have a
resolution pending in the present
house for a nstitutional conven-
ton.
1.-THE members of this. convention
would be fresh from the people and
| would do what the people want done
about these reforms. Then the new
| constitution would go back to the
| people for their approval. This would
end all these questions and also end
too much politics in Georgia. l shall
keep up a fight for a new constitu-
| tional convention until We get it. -

Honeymoon Couple
Touring in Automobile
Mysteriiously 'Vanishes

CAMBRIA, Wis, Oct. 23,-This
quiet little dairy town has a mys-
terry which is causing its citizens
2ome concern.
Seven weeks ago, Abel Jones mar
ri9d the daughter of A. A. Kuehn,
local general storekeeper. Two days
later they left on honeymoon trip
in an automobile. For two weeks q
card or letter was received every
ether day by the brides father.
Then the letters ceased.
In the five weeks since no word
has been received from the young
people and no one has been located
who has. the slightest mixing of
their whereabouts.
Fearing foul play, Mr.. Kuehn left
IN his automobile, and personally
searched the north woods districts
and the small towns along the way
known to have been traversed by
the couple.
Finding no trail, Mr.. Kuehn re-
turned to ambria, hoping that word
had come in during his absence. But
when he arrived he found that the
entire community wanted to hear
from him what he wanted of them.
Chief of Police Martin of Cam
Lria and Mr.. Kuehn last night said
they feared the couple may have
been murdered

PROGPE:(e1sIV|EE:s'] PLAN
fight For CONTROL
OF NEXT CONGRESS

- WASHINGTON, Oct. 22.-Repub-
lican progressives Of the west, who
will hold the balance of power in
the new congress, are mapping out
a program both as to legislation and
the organization of the house and
senate and are preparing to enforce
their demands by every available
means.
Because of the rather unusual sit
uation this will develop and the
fact that the 1924 national political
campaign is in the offing, leaders of
the two dominant parties in congress
look for the enactment Of little
affirmative legislation at the session
beginning December 8. Adjourn
ment probably will be taken late in
May for the next national political
conventions, and much of the time
to that date will be taken up with
the framing and passing of the an
nual appropriation bills.
Enactment of a soldiers bonus bill
is freely predicted, but beyond that
leaders are not inclined to commit
themselves. Efforts will be made
to put through some kind Of railroad
legislation, but there are so many
conflicting views on this subject
that the task Of harmonizing them
into a. concrete measure is regarded
as extremely difficult. Much the
same situation is expected to- develop
in respect to coal legislation.
Tax and tariff revision are looked
upon as only a remote possibility
Practical politicians in congress do
not hesitate to say that these are
dangerous subjects to handle during
a national political year, and con-
sequently they do not look with IA
Vor upon any plan to open up these
laws to amendment. But there is
another and equally as cogent rea-
son-if they should be opened to
amendment the progressives might
force complete rewriting at least
Of the tax law.
A modified excess profits tax, a
levy on the undivided profits of cor
porations and other major changes
in the existing law are being con-
sidered by the progressives and they
probably will be proposed in bills
to be introduced soon after congress
meets. Leaders Of the Republican
organization look upon these with
disfavor, certainly at this time, con-
tending that they would serve to
disturb Ale economic equilibrium and
possibly&ffect seriously federal gov
eminent finances.
Sponsors of the tariff law take
the position that this statute is
working out even more setisfac-
torily than had been anticipated:
particularly from standpoint of
the public treasury, and that there
is no inststent demand for its amend
ment. They say that any ineQuali-
ties that may be found to exist can
be corrected by the president work
ing through the tariff commission.
Generally speaking. the passage OF
a bonus bill is viewed at the capitol
as a certainty. President Coolidge's
position with respect to this leSis-
lation has not been defined, but
proponents believe they have enough
votes to, override q veto should the
executive adhere to the policy OF
the late President Harding that the
measure either should carry the
means of financinE or be postponed.

CASTOR B. MEANS,
FORMER DRY AGENT,
HELD IN RUM PLOT

NEW YORK, Oct. 22.-Gaston B
Means, former agent Of the de-
partment of justice, has been in
dicted with Elmer w. Jarnecke, de
scribed as his secretary, on four
counts involving alleged conspiracy
TO violate the country's dry laws and
using the mails in a scheme to de-
fraud.
Means indictment became known
today when the seals were broken on
four indictments handed down last
Thursday to Federal Judge Knox.
He was released in $4,000 bail for
hearing later. 1t was understood
Jarnecl1e would appear tomorrow.
In the mail fraud the conspirators
IKE charged with having agreed to
furnish bootleggers with choice
brands of whisky from distilleries
and bonded warehouses. Mentioned
in connection with this operation
were Mcintyre, a Tammany attor-
ney; A. L. Wilson, a druggist, for
merly of Pittsburg; Or. Loben-
GER; a man called Sam" and an
other named Ritter
Alleged Schemes
One of the schemes of the con-
spirators, it was said, involved $780,
300 cases OF, whisky and another H.
900 cases and 1880 barrels of Ken
lucky and Pennsylvania liquors.
From November l, 1921, to March,
1928, Means, the indictment charged,
conspired to violate the prohibition
act and other federal laws more than
100 times.
Means has been (. prominent fig
ure since the early days of Amerl
cas- entrance into the war when he
was reported as an employee OF the
German government through Cap
tani Karl Boy-Ed, the former Ger
man naval attache at Washington.
In September, 1917. he was alone
with Mrs. Maude C. King, wealthy
Chicago woman, when she met
death near Concord, N. c. He was
exonerated of blame in that tragedy.
In 1920, during his %ttempt to
have probated the second will of
James King, wealthy lumberman of
Chicago. Means, admitted his Ger
man government connections before
the war. He created sensation
then by declaring that an old tons
in Trinity church yard in lower New
York was used for the transfer OF
sums of money between himself and
Boy-Ed.
At least ten other men admitted
that they were participants in plots
