COURT IS P|.ANNED
FOR FOUR OFFICERS

Possibility was limited Tuesday of
further government intervention in
the case Of the four members of the
federal prohibition enforcement
posse whom Judge S. H. SibIey in
federal district court here Saturday
ordered held accountable to Greene
county superior court on charges of
murder growing out of the death
of two alleged whisky runners, Jett
Smith and j. B. Smith, both of
Athens.
Judge Sibley's decision followed
hearing or habeas corpus pro-
ceedings brought by Fred D. Dis
nuke, federal prohibition enforce
ment agent for Georgia, in which it
was sought to have the jurisdiction
of the case changed from the state
to the federal courts. The next move
Of the government will be additional
habeas corpus proceedings which
will follow indictment of the posse
men in Greene county. government
officials say.
They pointed out that Judge Sib.
ley's declaration that he took the
position in the case that he was "a
commitment judge" left a loophole
for further efforts by the government
to change the jurisdiction of the
case. Under Judge Sibley's ruling
the officials said, the men are at
liberty under bond, but when in
dicted their status will be changed,
the bonds will be cancelled, and the
men remanded to Jail awaiting trial.
Then, it is said, the government
! will undoubtedly step in again, re-
newing the controversy between the
government and the state,
In the opinion of many federal Of
ficials, Judge Sibley will bring the
case into his court and will try it

AMERICANS IN CHINA
DEMAND PROTECTION
SHANGHAI, June 13.-(By the
Associated Press.)-Conditions in
China were termed "the worst since
the Boxer outbreak" in a statement
today in which the American Asso-
citation of China an dthe American

The organizations agreed that
American lives and liberty are en-

business are being destroyed by lack
Of strong action" A cable of pro-
test was sent to the secretary of
state in Washington.
1t was charged that the Chinese
were continuing outrages against
foreigners; that American vessels
had been fired on up the Yangtsze
river, and the American flag in
suited.
American gunboats were said to
be inadequate to protect their ma

cused of violating the treaty in re-
fusing to protect foreigners.
Travel between treaty ports on
land or water was termed unsafe.
The dispatch of cargoes was pre-
vented, while opium traffic was en-
couraged and fIourished.

spent on a farm near Bloomingrove
where the president was born. Ask

SCdCe OIL HedlIH, Tor ne is seldom Ill,
he declared that "eating rye bread
and oatmeal was the secret, for

DR.. Harding seemed most pleased at
those received from comrades with

R. F. Willingham
To Surrender on New
Felony Indictment

MACON, Ga, June 19.-General
Walter A. Harris, leading counsel for
Richard F. Willingham, indicted
Monday by the Bibb county grand
jury on a charge of felony, in which
it is alleged that he forged ware
house cotton receipts for PIG bales
of cotton, stated that Willing
ham had been notified of the indict-
ment by wire and would arrive in
Macon Wednesday from Winston
Salem, where he now is in business.
Upon his arrival in the city he is
expected to arrange bond for the new
indictment containing five counts.
The value of the PIG bales of cotton
is estimated at $4,000.
The receipts were drawn against
the Shippers Compress company,
and, it is said, dated back more than
six months prior to the time of the
discovery of discrepancies in the ac-
counts of Willingham, and were used
by him in securing funds from local
and Atlanta banks, which funds, ac-
cording TO claims of officers of the
company, were used by Willingham
for his personal use.
