Dry Law Marshal
Summoned to Door
And Shot to Death

CLEVELAND, Feb. 10. - Carl
Meta, "a, until recently a govern.
ment prohibition agent and who in
his three years of fedora, service,
had made himself thoroughly feared
by local illicit whisky runners, was
summoned to the door of his home
at daylight this morning and shot
to death. apparently by a bootlegger
enemy, police believe. The assassin
fired three shots, two through the
head and one into the lung.
Meta quit the federal service last
October, rather than accept a
transfer to Toledo. because his fam.
lily liz ed there. Since that time he
has been a deputy marshal in en-
forcement of prohibition for d. J.
Zinner, mayor of Fairview village,
a suburb, and police believe that the
man who slew him was among those
Meta had arrested recently in Tin
ner's service. The slayer escaped
without leaving a clue.
Answering a knock at the door
this morning, Meta evidently rec

Man Is Fatally Burned
In His Bed in Augusta
Hotel; Smoking Blamed

AUGUSTA, Ga, Feb. 19.-The
body of Mr.. John c. CALDWELL Of
Troy, N Y, left here this afternoon
over the Atlantic Coast Line for
Troy, where the funeral will be held
Tuesday. Mr.. Caldwell was burned
to death at his room in the Bon Air
Vanderbilt hotel Saturday night. He
was the son of James III. Caldwell,
prominent banker and manufacturer
of Troy.
Hotel officials said today that the
cause of the fire in Mr.. Caldwell
room has not been learned although
they expressed the opinion that it
must have been due to the young
man smoking in bed.
Smoke was seen coming from the
room about midnight, mad an inves-
tigation revealed that the bed in
which Mr.. Caldwell lay had been al
most entirely consumed and the oc-
cupant horribly burned. He was car
ried to the hospital and died there a
few hours later.
Mr.. Caldwell is said to have come
here for his health. He and his wife
played a game of golf at the Coun-
try dub together Saturday after
noon, and his condition at that
time was said to be much improved.
Hotel officials are of the opinion
that the bed caught fire as the re-
suit of Mr.. Caldwell's smoking in
bed and that either the smoke or
flames strang1ed him before he could
leave the bed or call for assistance.
The new hotel being fire proof the
flames were confined to that one
room.

Sharp Reply Made
To Bishop Gailor

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Feb. 90
John Royal Harris, president of
Cumberland university, and vice
president of the National Reform as
ISOLATION, here today, issued state
ment replying to Bishop Thomas f.
Gailor's sermon in Washington in
which the minister was quoted as
saying that "reformers and law
breakers seem to be in conspiracy
to bring the law into disrepute." DIR.
Harris, former superintendent Of the
Tennessee Anti-Saloon league, says
in his statement:
Bishop Gailor in his latest out
break against prohibition charges
that reformers and law-breakers are
Joined in bringing the law into disre-
pute. With equal truth it can be
said that reformers, 1aw-breakers an
Bishop Gailor are bringing the law
into disrepute. He has persistently
spoken against prohibition and there
by given much aid and comfort to it's
enemies. Most lawlessness today is,
undoubtedly, due to the enemies of
prohibition, who lawlessly drink and
deal in liquor and deliver speeches
against this law and it's enforcement.
Hence the inclusion of the bishop in
against our laws"

j. 6. To INSIST ON
FULL PROTECTION
FOR VAT AGENTS
Atlanta Journal News Bureau,
.408 Evans Building.
BY THEODORE TILLER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.~-Unless
there are assurances of speedy ac-
ton by Georgia. state authorities,
Attorney General Daugherty is ex-
pected this week to order an investi-
cation by federal agents, and if pos
sible federal prosecution Of persons
accused of killing Mac Lochridge,
an employee of the federal depart
ment of agriculture, who was shot
to death in Echols county, Georgia,
February 3. Secretary Wallace, of
the department of agriculture. is in
sisting that the department of JUS
tice take action. Lochridge, he says,
was engaged in cattle tick eradica-
ton work, was federal agent and
entitled to federal protection.
He has put the Echois county sit
uation before Attorney General
Daughertys department, and asks
for firm and prompt federal action.
The Importance of rigorous and
speedy court action against persons
who indulge in violence or inter-
fere with employees of the depart
ment of agriculture in their duties
is discussed by Secretary Wallace.
II have not yet been informed"
says the secretary, whether any
steps have been taken by local au-
thorities to apprehend and punish
the Carriers. If the departments en-
deavors to eradicate diseases of cat
tie in the United States are to pro-
coed effectively, it is absolutely es-
sential that it's officials and en-
ployes be secured against violence
in the performance of their work. !"
The killing of Lochridge and the
serious Wounding at the same time
of another federal employe, Roy S.
Richie, are the elimination of a
series of difficulties in this region
where efforts are being made to
free the section of cattle tick. The
department claims the killing was
committed at a time when Loeb
ridge and Richie were serving an
official notice. On several other oc-
casions, shots had been fired and
many dipping watts had been dyna-
mited by persons. who, for various
reasons, disapproved of the work.

EMPTY BARNYARDS
IS SIN Of KANSAS.
CREDIT Chief SAYS

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-Government
aid cannot bring success to the
farmers of Kansas if they persist
in going to the stores to buy-in-
stead of producing-miik, butter
and eggs, according to j. H. Tregoe,
executive manager of the National
Association of Credit Men, in a
statement issued today. After a tour
of Alabama, Louisiana, Texas, Okla
homa and Kansas, Mr.. Tregoe said
the strangest thing he observed was
the absence of barnyard noises in
Kansas.
Mr.. Tregoe said his survey showed
the northern or industrial section
of Alabama was responding to the
demands for iron, steel, cement and
the extractive industries and esti-
mated these enterprises were operat-
ing at So per cent of maximum pro-
duction. In the southern section he
said he found an improved condi-
ton over twelve months ago and
added that ION the whole, Alabama
appears to be in very fair shape"
Farmers were more comfortable
in Louisiana, he said, and while the
cotton yield was small, the price
was good, and the sugar section was
doing fairly well. Louisiana was
showing considerable clearing up of
long deferred obligations-a portion
of which will have to be carried into
the next season." he said.
''In Texas. both the northern and
southern parts were showing some
improvement in production and pay
ments," he continued. Gin the Pan
handle section there was some con-
tinuation of the drought and the
cattle raisers of that section were
generally in great distress.
"Oklahoma has carried a large
debt burden for several years. The
farmers there have had difficult
times to encounter. In oil producing
sections of Oklahoma there was a
great deal of money and it was
being spent eXtravagantly.
'In Kansas I found an improved
situation. [ judge in Kansas one or
two good crops will be necessary to
put the farmer squarely on his feet.
This leads me to the funda-
mental thought, that there must be
outlets into other lands for the sur.
plus of our farm production and
extractive industries"

THOUSANDS THRILL
AS AIR CRAFT GUNS
GIVE EXHIBITION

GALVESTON, Texas, Feb. 90
(By the Associated Press. Amy one
of the thousand-odd eye-witnesses to
the anti-aircraft problem of the six
tieth anti-aircraft battalion, simu-
lating warfare with swiftly towed
kites, representing enemy bombing
planes, last night had but to close
his eyes today to renew the thrills
which were afforded the multitude
Of spectators who stood on the sea
wall outside of Fort Crockett last
night.
Major General Edward M. Lewis,
commander of the Eighth corps
area, before his departure today to
inspect the fixed defenses at Fort
San Jacinto and Fort Travis, said
that "the demonstration was among
the best L have seem"
1.-The manner in which search
lights and guns were handled was
excellent"
Amid the glare of six SearchlightS,
five throwing beams of three billion
candle power, and one smaller, four
kites were towed high in the night
air, across the line of fire, and de-
molished, one after another, by two
SSCLlOIIS VI lllclCI1IO A14o1 Cc1SIl NOlA-
tanning three guns.
Two kites were cut loose from
their strings and floated to the
ground amid a hail of bullets, while
the other two were so badly hit they
would not fly. Tracer bullets, the
paths of which plainly could be dis
cerned by all spectators, were used.
Fourteen tiny hydrogen balloons,
Iayoo1ic1oinor Of Tho lyitnc
were released from unknown posi-
tons about the field, two being re-
leased at a time, in order that each
machine gun might have its own
target. AS fast as each balloon was
picked up by the rays of the search
light it was peppered with shots.
Out of the total of fourteen, twelve
were demolished, one got away and
one failed to leave the ground.
In quick succession, the beam of
each searchlight began to play
through the air as the first of the
four kite targets was towed across
the field from the east end of the
parade grounds to the west. The
second machine gun section, COM
manded by Lieutenant E. G. Guild.
was the first to open fire, and the
tracer bullets could be seen scoring
hit after hit. AS it was towed
farther west, the other machine
guns in the first section, command
ed by Captain E. H. Stillman, got
into action.
The first kite used as a target
was a box-kite, to the tail of which
was attached three tiny balloons
The problem in this case was to
burst all balloons, which was done.
Two of the fourteen balloons were
demolished at the first shot, an un-
usual feat of craftsmanship, accord
ing to General Lewis.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Nearly
a dozen opponents of the administra-
ton shipping bill were prepared
with speeches, tn edelivery Of which
would require upwards of forty
hours, when the senate convened

night against the ship measure was
resumed.
Senator Sheppard, Democrat, Tex

more than three hours on the ac-
Invites of the league of nations, still
held the floor when the senate met.
There was some talk among the

invoke the cloture rule for the ship
ping bill, but they were uncertain
whether the required tWo-thirds
vote to limit debate could be OBJ
tanned.

Population of u. S.
Given as 100000
By National Bureau

NEW YORK, Feb. 20.-The popu-
lation of the continental United
States on January I, 1928, was ap-
proximately 110, 100000. according to
preliminary estimate made by the
national bureau of economic re-
search, of this city, and given QUO
today. This shows an estimated
gain of 100000 since the date of the
last government census.
These figures are necessarily pre-
liminary, says the bureau, for the
final census figures on births and
deaths are incomplete after the end
of 1920. However, enough data are
available to show that since January
l, 1921, the rate of increase in popu-
lation growth has been accelerated
notlceably, the present rate ap-
preaching that of pre-War years.
This more rapid gain in popula-
ton, according to the bureau, has
been brought about partly by in
crease in net migration, but has been
decidedly reinforced by a reduction
in the death rate. At the present
rate of growth, the population at
the 1880 census will reach 100000
000
The estimates by half years are
as follows:
aJanuary 1, 1920, 1O5, 71O,62O.
bJuly 1, 1920, 106, 1881 ,OO0.
bJanuary l, 1921, 106,821, 900.

preliminary estimate.
1t is probable that the revisions to
be made in all estimates, except that
for January l, 1928, will be relatively
slight, but this figure may be
changed materially when fuller data
on births, deaths and immigration
are received

Old Home Is Burned;

was received here today of the de-

near Birdsville in Jenkins county,
which was used for a time by Cen
eral Sherman as his headquarters

Older residents of this section say
that the Law home was fired by

quarters, but that the fire was or
dered put out when the present Mrs.

the most celebrated landmarks in
this section of the state. Much of
the old furniture was saved, and it

England, America and Egypt
May Get Priceless Arch
illogical Objects as Result
of Find

LUXOR, Egypt, Feb. 20.-An in
ternational tilt which probably will
involve at least three powers is ex-
pected to take place before any de-
cision can be reached as to the dis
position of the s15,000.0OO in ancient
treasure just brought to light
through the opening OF the tomb Of
King Tutankhamen here.
Before excavation was started
several months ago, Lord Carnar-
Won, an eminent British archeolo-
gist, secured a concession from the
newly established Egyptian govern
ment.
Carnarvon, it seems, agreed that
any tomb which contained a royal
mummy and which, had not pre-
viously been entered by robbers
should remain the property of the
Egyptian government.
Then Carnarvon and Howard Car
ter, an American who has spent 80
years in Egyptian research, I'M
earthed the vast treasure, buried
more than 5000 years in the midst
of poverty and squalor.
Egypt Claims Tt
This treasure, buried in the tomb
of Tutankhamen, comes under that
classified ton and the Egyptian gov
eminent already has laid claim to it.
But pressure may be brought to
T,,;4 81, -
cause Egyptian officials to modify
their stand. In that case, some Of
Tutankhamen's treasure may find
their way into American museums.
Americas claim is based on the
contention that the treasures Of an
cient Egypt belong to the world and
that America, as one of the leading
nations of the present world, is en-
titled to share in them.
What Treasures Are
Some of the treasures over which
the dispute is waged are:
Three gilt life-siZe images of hui
man beings.
Gilded heads of animals with eyes
of jewels.
Carved couches inlaid with ivory
and semi-precious stones.
Chests of ebony and ivory with
gilt inscriptions, containing Tut
ankhamen's finery.
Tutankhamen's state throne, en-
crusted with jewels.
A heavy chair thickly set with
turquoise, cornelian 1apis and other
stones.
Two life-sized statues Of the king
with gold work.
Four chariots encrusted with
semi-precious stones.
Exquisite boxes and alabaster
vases.
Richly embroidered clothing of the
king and queen.
The find could be sold for more
than dozen millions on the basis of
its actual value alone, but its scien-
tific and archaeological worth makes
it absolutely priceless.
Was Mystery Man
King Tutankhamen was an EgyD.
tan king of the eighteenth dynasty.
He reigned about 1850 B. c., or 1870
years ago.
His origin Is doubtful. He gained
the throne by marrying Princess
AnlIh- Nes-P -Aten, most beautiful
woman IN Egypt and daughter Of
King Amen-Hotep ".
The mystery of Tutankhamen's
life is this: FIe destroyed the beau
tiful city of Ell Amarna and ordered
his subjects 10 leave it and settle
in Thebes.
HI Amarna had been constructed
as a perfect city of contentment by
Akhnaton, an earlier king. Akhna-
ton barred priests and founded a
new religion of his own.
Tutankhamen restored the old
faith
