LOS ANGELES. June Com.
pletely ignored. are the protesta'
lions of innocence and kidnapping
loudly uttered by Clara Phillips as
she approaches Los Angeles, The
district attorney and his aides are
amused over her claim that she
had to break Jail and that she had
nothing to do with the murder OF
Mrs Meadows. They simply call at
tention to the fact that a jury al.
ready has passed upon this latter
claim and has thrown it out. AS for
the Jail break episode, the Phillips
statement, officials say. falls of its
own weight.
There is a real story behind her
escape, one that some day may
bring out some surprising facts. In
vestigation by the district attorney
and his aides has established GER
tain definite lines. They now are
endeavoring to connect these lines
with positive evidence and legal
facts. When they do so 1t is ex-
pected the entire tale will be re-
vealed in open court.
Suggestions are offered that In
volved in the escape was a woman
philanthropist on whose sympathies

who engineered the getaway, work

Husbands Connection Misty
Armour Phillips connection with
the case has been a misty per-
Torrance from first to last. That he
wanted his wife to get out and
stay out of the country once she
was free naturally is accomplish
ed fact. That has been his attitude
from the start. Armour Phillips
knew Jesse Carsen, but it was Car
sen who wanted to know Clara
Phillips. The idea that Carsen kid
mapped Clara is characterized as
pure bunk" There is no question
that she laid the plot for her es-
cape but only after she had been
assured of powerful outside aid.
This aid did not come from her
family. Neither did Carsen bring it.
Rather he was given the money to
finance the getaway. When the
source of this money is traced the
solution Of the problem will be at
hand. That may be very soon.
Meanwhile the train bearing Clara
back to this city is coming nearer

DAYTON, June 2.-Lieutenants
Oakley Kelley and John A. Mac
Ready, regarded as the country's
premier airmen since they bettered
the worlds endurance record and
made the first successful nonstop
transcontinental flight, owe their
success as flying team as much to
their contrasting personalities as to
their admitted superiority as pilots,
in the opinion of aviators at Nc
Cook Field here, the home station OF
the men. They predict that the abll-
ity of the two men to work togeth-
er in trying situations will bring
further aerial honors to the United
States army.
Kelleys enthusiastic and impulsive
nature gives the combination the
necessary punch" while MacReady,
more staid and quiet, furnishes the
balance" which is a necessary Gle
ment in carrying through many diff
ficult situations, according to the be-
men working and flying together
lief of those who have observed the
during the past two years.
Kelley's Greeting
A striking illustration of the diver
gent characteristics of the two filters
is given by Lieutenant Harold r.
Harris, who, in a speedy plane, over
took the pair as they passed over
Dayton in their recent transconti-
mental flight. Harris getting a late
take-off, pursued the big ship for
some miles before overtaking it.
AS he came abreast, he says, the
mar in the cockpit carelessIy threw
up an arm. 'That's MacReady,"
Harris says he decided as he observed
the action. For a moment the sec
ond passenger of the To did not ap-
pear. Then from the depts of the
fuselage a bundle Of blankets sud
denly appeared and was waved fran
tically in the wind. THAT was
easy" said Harris, "I knew it
was Kelley, without giving a second
glance"
Credit for the working out of the
transcontinental flight plan is given
almost entirely to Kelley by his
brother aviators. AS chief of main
tenance of planes and engines at the
mammoth flying center, Kelley in the

BIC CAIN SHOWN IN
GEORGIA CHILDREN
IN SCHOOL CENSUS

The school census of 1928 shows
that there are 9OO,352 children in
Georgia between the ages of six and
Is years, inclusive, an increase Of
9,491, or Z ga per cent over the
total number of children of school
age shown by the census Of 1918,
according to an announcement made
Saturday by DR.. M. M. Parks, state
school superintendent.
The total number of white chill
dren of school age is 524,133, or ST.
3S1 more than were shown by the
1918 census, and the total number
Of negro children is 369.107, or an
increase of 7,110 in the five-year
period. The percentage of increase
for the white children was Ill, and
for the negro children, 1.9. The
slight increase in the number of
negro school children is attributed
to the larger percentage of infant
mortality among the negroes, and
the fact that hundreds of negro
families have migrated from Geor-
gia.
Increase Uniform
The increase for the previous five
year period, from 1913 to 1918, was
1889, or 10.1 per cent for the white
children, and 1850, or OS per cent
for the negro children. School Off
Gals are of the opinion that a more
earnest effort was made to get the
entire list of negro children in 1928
than ever before
Officials. of the department Of edu-
cation have not yet completed d
comparison of the census figures in
the various counties of the state,
but those counties which have been
noticed show increases in almost
every instance. In some of the coun-
ties where the negro migration has
been heaviest, there has been a drop
in the number of negro children.
Another big cut will be made in
the number of illiterates in Geor-
gia, it was predicted, although the
figures in this respect have not been
compiled. The county reports show
marked decrease in illiteracy. as
Aol IlASy nave DSCu u
Appropriations Revised
School appropriations for the vari-
Gus counties will be revised at once
TO comply with the new census fig
ures, as the appropriations are basel
on the number of children of school
age in each county. The counties
containing the larger cities of the
state will get substantial increases
in their appropriations of the state
school funds, since all the cities show
steady growths in population.
superintendent Parks expressed
gratitude to the county school off
Gals for their promptness in filing
their census returns and the com
pleteness of their work. 1t is his
opinion that practically every child
in Georgia who should be in the
schools has been listed, and that the
census will result in a substantial
increase in enrolment at the begin
ming of the next school year.

night three miles from Greensboro.
in Greene county.
Director Dismuke was making
every effort at $50 a. m. to commu
nicate with Agent Gastley and Sher
if Sturdivant, of Taliaferro county,
who was with the prohibition agens
at the time of the shooting. Mr..
Dismuke said that until he could
communicate with the two officers
he would be unable to make an Off
cial statement
THE only information I have at
this time" Mr.. Dismuke said, was
received from Sheriff Baldwin, of
Morgan county, who telephoned me
early in the day. Sheriff Baldwin
informed me that the two dead men
had been brought from Greene
county, Sheriff Baldwin told me
Agent Gastley and Sheriff Sturdi-
want had returned to Crawfordville,
in Taliaferro county, which is
Agent Gastley's headquarters.
Agent Gastley is about thirty
year old and has been with the pro-
hibition enforcement department
about a year and a half. His home
is in GAINESVILLE, Habersham county,
where his father was formerly
sheriff. Agent Gastley, according
to Director Dismuke. is one of the
best agents on his force. Mr.. Dis
nuke said he always has been very
active in enforcing the prohibition
law ard is regarded as a conserva-

According to the police, the license
tag on the automobile which was
being operated by tn etwo men at
the time they were killed is listed as
belonging to Joseph r. Smith, of 2S6
Washington street, Atlanta. Per-
sons who reside at this address said
Saturday that no Smith lived there,
or has been there during the last
year.

Cottonwood Wins First Game
Of the Season.
Cottonwood administered an
overwhelming defeat to the Gill
ford team last Friday, in the
local gymnasium. Coach West
over played ten men against
the invading team, giving every
one who comes out to practice a
chance to play. Yell king Andy
Drops and his lusty retinue
monopolized the situation prior
to the game with a rally.
The game started with a bang,
and Cottonwood scored from the
tip off. The local quintet sur
p1ised the spectators with a
brilliant display of passing and
team work. At the end of the
first half the score stood 28-7 in
favor of Cottonwood. In the
second half, four new men were
put in.
Shinnick was the stellar player
and high point man, cageing
thirty points for the locals. Clark
was the star for the Clifford
team.

SCHOOL NOTES
ggH #2A @a @g8

Our girls basket ball game
played the first game of the
season with Clifford, last Friday
on the home floor. Judging
from the score, which was 21-4
in favor of Cottonwood, one
might think it was q slow game.
But instead, every one agreed
that it was one of the fastest
girls games that had been play
ed for a long time.
The lineup for Cottonwood
was as follows: center, Agnes
Terhaar forwards, Rose Ter
haar and Irene Simon; guards,
Lenore Minis and Eliza Matthie-
sen. Thelma Jacks was substi-
tuted for Eliza Matthiesen during
the game.
A return game is to be played
with Clifford today, and a game
with Reubens Saturday.

TO GROOM LUIS
FlRPO FOR 1924
BY HENRY L, FARRELL,

United Press STAFF correspondent
NEW YORK, Dec. 3.--Luis Angel
Firpo, South American heavy
weight champion, will be handled
during his 1924 campaign by Billy
Gibson, manager for Benny Leon
ard, the lightweight champion, and
Gene Tunncy, the American light
heavyweight champion, according to
information from a good authority.
1t was learned some time back
that Firpo had decided that he
could trust some of the Americans
and that he had made up his mind to
seek a good experienced business
man to take care Of his affairs.
Arrangements, it is learned, have
been practically competed where
by Firpo will join the Gibson stable
and that Leonard and Seamon will
work with the big Argentine to pre-
pare him for his return bout with
Jack Dempsey.
Wills wants to fight Dempsey and
he is entitled. to first chance at the
title over Firpo and Tommy Glib
bons. Wills claimed that Firpo
turned down a match with him last
summer by suggesting that the
fight be staged in South America :
Rickard had another cablegram
from Georges Carpenter asking him
to get a match for him with Gene
Tunney, Harry Greb or Battling
Sikh. He made no mention Of Tommy
Gibbons. ( -
Rickard would like to match the
winner Of the TunneyGreb bout
with Gibbons and let Carpenter
have the winner Of that bout,
