California Senator Greeted As He Steps Ashore From Leviathan By Crowd of Hy-
 lan-Hearst Presidential Allies
EUROPEAN TOUR FAILS
 TO ALTER HIS ATTITUDE
Arch Foe Of "EntangIing AL dances" Ready To Carry His Battle Upon Harding League Court To American People
By ROBERT J. BENDER tLe8Sed Wire to The Ave-Her8IdO

NEW YORK, July 23.-Sena tor Hiram Johnson has returned to the United States to fall into the wait ing arms--or avoid-a carefully set and prearranged Hearst-Hylan third party movement.
 However, though the Senator's ar rival was preceded by terrific mid summer storm in these parts, his actual landing was through calm seas, 8 cool clear day--and he did nothing to ruffle the political waters. True. his hat blew into the ocean, but he exercised only a somewhat pained expression when one of his attendant admirers shouted excitedly at the incident:
 Tt is in the ring, Senator; it is in the ring"
 Only an involuntary movement" parried the Californian.
 Again when the tug to bear him ashore rolled up; the name "Menomi- nee" emblazoned on it's side, he con- ceded only a casual smile when A. other enthusiast remarked:
 See, Senator. 1t reads Me Nomi- nee."
 Has Noisy Arrival.
 Silent as was the returning solon on subjects In general and politics III there hdS COuSlueI dDlG noise at his arrival. A special CO., mittee appointed by Mayor Hylan to welcome him was enthusiastically on the job with vocal greetings ana heavy handshakes to the music of the New York City Street Cleaners band 1t was an unusual demonstration for an American home-comer. It was the second step in the agitation of the Hearst Hylan forces to throw con cern into the political world with yelled hints of third party. Fylan delivered the hint last week in a pub lie address in New York state, which led to belief that Johnson. at the cll- max of his homecoming reception Wednesday night, would deliver him self of q speech that would stamp him as leader of the anti-world cou forces, when addressing the crow 1000 or more who have paid S6 seat to hear his first utterance since combing the old world for facts.

 In fact, the cnly clue the Senator would give to his future actiVines was this assurances:

 Battle On Magic City Day GREAT WORLD CONFLICT RECALLED TO WITNESSES
Many Fighting Units Repre- scented In StruggIe-Annis- ton Prepares To Enter tain General PerShing
By STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

ANNISTON, Ala July 2S.-With nearly 4,O0O men taking part in the maneuvers Monday. rifles, machine guns. pistols, trench mortars and howitzers firing, and the woods thick with smoke, Camp Mcclellan under went one of the most warlike days of it's use. The occasion was Bir- mingham Day.
 Regulars, national guardsmen, of ficers of the reserve corps, reserve officers training corps were all talk ing part or studying what was being done.
 Men from eight southern states were represented in the officers re- serve corps work. At one point what seemed like several hundred of them were observers of maneuver in which artillery was searching out position and machine guns and in- fantry following their work.
 From what the lay mind could gather from military papers distrib- uted to officers, the R. O. T. C. outfit was on the offensive. They were up and away before anybody else thought of going into action, breakfast or field work. The first battalion. signal corps unit and a cav airy unit, constituting the Brown Force was former and had gone to do what they were assigned to de be- fore Q cannon spoke. The Yellow Force was on the defensive.

 All Were American.
 It had been said the occasion was Birmingham Day, aSd no doubt it was if they said so, but with evo-s'. body dressed alike, and not all clean shaven, onlookcrs couldn't tell a Bir- miugham man from one of the deni- zens of Tennessee, Louisiana tiger, Carolina cayalief', or Florida alliga- tor It sufficed that all were Ameri- cans and everyone satisfied to let it go at that.
 Camp McCleIlan's area is said to be thousands of acres, the estimates va lying from 40, 900 to 9O.000 anyway the place is surrounded by a circle of frying-sized mountains and they were scattered here and there there in. From an earpplane it might have been a cinch to keep up with all of them; on foot, well, 1t wasn't.

Presence of Strychnine.

From a reliable source the
Telegraph is informed that the
chemists analysis of the stom-
ach of Mrs. Frank Walton, who
died suddenly under suspicious
circumstances several weeks
ago at her home south of Hope,
contained seven-tenths of a
grain of strychnine, enough to
cause the death of several per-
sons. The nature of her death
also suggested strychnine. She
died in convulsions, with set
Jaws and contraction of the
pupils of the eyes.
The original jury impaneled
to investigate the. mysterious
death has been dismissed and
a new jury will be chosen to

ASSAULT FATAL
TOW. WILLIAMSON
Injured Negro Man SuccuH,bS
at HOspitd,-Dm White
CORfesses To Crime.

Walter Williamson, who was
struck a fatal blow by Dan
White, between Washington
and Ozan, Thursday of last
week, died in Hope Sunday
evening. From the first ex-
animation no hope was held
| for Williamson's life. The x
Ray picture revealed a crushed
skull in addition to fracture
to the center of the forehead.
Dan White, who had been
arrested as a suspect, was in
formed by Deputy Sheriff
Bearden of Williamson's death.
M. Bearden asked White for
a clear statement. White rea-
dily confessed to the killing,
with the statement he and
Williamson engaged in a quar-
rel on the road and believing
that Williamson intended
striking, White took. the initia-
tive and strnck Williamson.
White drove Williamson's mule
into the woods, loosed him
from the buggy and tied him
to a tree.
A short, stout club was
found near the scene of the
difficulty and thought to be
the death weapon, but Deputy
Sheriff Bearden asked White
what he did with it and found
the club where he directed.
White was hrought into JUS
tice C. NJ. Lewis court Thurs
day morning and through his
attorney, Mr.. o. A. Graves,
waived preliminary eXamina-
tion and was bound over to the
April court grand jury, being
remanded to jail without bond.
Mr.. L. F. Monroe represent
ed the state in the proceedings.
Eleven witnesses were sum-
moned for the state. They were
sworn and commanded to ap-
pear befq.e the grand jury
on the second day of the April
term of court. They are: DR..
F. 0. Wood, Brenon Muldrow,
Amos Scoggins, Iva Suttles,
Robt. Johnson, John Stuart,
Robt. White, Alex McFadGin,
Henry Walker and Dave Reed.
Brenon Muld'row and Amos
Scoggins, two of the witnesses,
were heard to make this state
ment:
They were going to OLan
and passed Williamson on the
road; a hundred yards or so
furthe- up the road they met
White, riding a mule, and en-
gagged him in conversation.
White informed them that vii

manded $1,000 damages, and
said, "Pll settle with him down

RESTS ON Sand
Star Rig Installed and Casing
Being Sel-DriU at NichOI
No. / BelieUed On Sand.

With three wells in Hemp
stead county on or near what
it is hoped will prove to be pay
sand, two of which are in the
immediate vicinity OF Wash
ington, intense interest in oil
development is evident on ev-
cry hand.
The Grew at the Columbus
Hope Oil Cos King No. 2, l ga
miles east of town, has halted
for a test at 2090 feet. 6 3-S
inch casing was placed in the
hole yesterday and a test will
be made some time next week.
The King No. 2 is about 100
yards north of the King No. i,
which was lost when an at
tempt was made several
weeks ago to set casing at 2102
feet, just twelve feet below the
No. 2. Considerable oil and gas
was encountered but collapse
of the casing made a test i'm
possible.
The casing in the King No.
2 is all new and, was placed on
bottom in good shape. 1t is
believed that when the we'll is
drilled a few feet deeper and
the sand entered, something
worth while will show up.
The Star rig to be suostl-
tuted for the Rotary IN MAX
ing a test of this well has ar
riveC and been removed to the
location.
Progress at the Nichol No.
l, the Hampstead Oil Cos test
just north Of town, has been
slow during the week. Sever
al days ago a depth of 173O
feet was reported, but a re
checking of the well yesterday
morning showed 1748 feet.
Progress was better Thursday,
however, and one or two more
days drilling is expected to
lower the drill to 1900 feet
where it is believed a sand will
be found that will warrant a
test.
A slight oil and gas showing
was reported at the Nichoi well
Wednesday and Thursday but
sand encountered was not suiii-
cient to warrant a test.
The location of this well,
with a part of the old Tycap
holdings in the drilling block,
is favored by many as likely
test. Manager Myers is con-
stantly on the lob aud using
his best efforts in keeping oper-
ations going, and it may now
be only a short time until he
is rewarded with production,
The well at McNab is down
around 2100 feet and an early
test is looked for.
Little further progress has
been made by Mr.. Thurman
and associates in securing lease
extensions in their Ellen block,
near Columbus, due, perhaps
to their lack of time to see the
land owners who are holding
out for rentals. All
of these will be. seen within the
next few days, however, and

CASE
HEARD THURSDAY
Judge Wilson Reconsiders Or.
der MUalidating Contract for
Red RiUer Bridge.

Messrs. j. B. Shuts OF Full
ton and Geo. B. Conway of Tex
arkana, members of the Full
ton Bridge & Ferry Co., with
Attorney L. F. Monroe as coun-
sci, appeared in County Judge
Wilson's court here yesterday
by appointment and further
discussed the terms of the fran
chise granting permission to
erect a bridge across Red river
at Fulton, connecting Hemp
stead and Miller counties. At
torney Graves represented the
county's interest, suggesting
several changes which resulted
in an agreement by the fran
chise holders to certain modifi-
cations Of the terms. AS these
did not in every instance meet
the changes suggested by Attor-
ney Graves, Judge Wilson set
next Friday for a continuation
of the hearing. There is little
difference between the county
and the bridge company now
and it is likely that the old
franchise will be replaced with
a new one which is to be drawn
up and presented Friday for
the Courts approval.
In the matter of toll rates,
the company proposing to erect
the bridge agreed to fix a rate
of $1.0O for automobiles con-
tanning up to seven passengers
With -noAcharge for returr
made the same day. Thi'
change would favor the people
of the two counties over the
tourist, who would pay $1.0O
toll for one way. The new rate
on trucks would be SO cents for
each half ton capacity. On
other items the toll rates fixed
by statute would be adopted.
Pedestrians would pay 5 cents,
a toll of 5 cents per head on
livestock, 20 cents for a horse
man and 35 cents for wagon
and team.
Under the terms of the fran.
chise as signed by Judge Viii.
son several weeks ago, the coun.
ties affected could not pur-
chase the bridge, if wanted
under a period of. thirty years
after completion of the struc'
ture. Attorney Graves sug
gesteG that this time be chang
ed to ten years, but this was
not acceptable to the holders
who proposed to compromise
on twenty years.
Fixing of toll rates for {
period of ten years after com
pletion of the bridge, after
which they would be subject t.
revision by the Hampstead ant
Miller courts, the Chancery
Court, or other courts of com
petent jusisdiction, was agreed
to by both sides.
With the slight differences
now existing between the fran
chise holders and the court, i
| is believed a new franchise re
fecting the changes agreed oil
will be given and the publ,
officials and citizenry of Hemp
stead and Miller counties unit
in backing the enterprise, whicl
would put the two counties il
close touch and make possibl
a big public improvement with
lout the burden of a tax levy
