to starting tomorrow on her long
journey to the Pacific Coast.
The former Texas girl who stepped
from the liner Copan, was not the
Clara Phillips Orleans had expected
to see. They were prepared for a
woman desperate over her capture
after one of the most sensational es-
capes ever accomplished in this coun-
try. Instead she seemed to be In
bouyant spirits and lost little time in
telling newspaper men that she was
returning home voluntarily "to estab-
lish her innocence and that she was
confident this end would be accom-
plished.

In stating that she was returning
home voluntarily to fight for her
name, honor and freedom in the right
way" Mrs Phillips was emphatic In
declaring her innocence and equally
emphatic in her statement that Peggy
Cafe was the slayer of Mrs. Meadows.
She stated that had she told all of
her story at her trial she would have
been acquitted. She maintained 3D.
lence upon the advice of her attor-
ney. however, she said, and as a re-
suit only one side, that of the prose-
cution, was told. She charged that
her conviction was "frame-up" and
that she had obtained sufficient new
evidence to prove it. Asked II men
or women were implicated she de-
clined to answer.
The new evidence. she said, was OBJ
tanned during the five weeks she re-
mianed In and about Los Angles az
ter her escape from prison. She doom
ed a pair of shell trimmed spectacles,
she said, and went upon the streets
on searching for her from Canada to
Mexico. What she learned she re-
fused to say, adding that she would
await a conference with her attor-
ney in Los Angeles.
Mrs. Phillips and her guards will
leave here at noon tomorrow on the

HON. J. E. MYERS SURVIVES"
HOT SPRINGS FLOOD

Mr.. j. E. Myers, who has been ere
cuperating" at Hot Springs during
the past three weeks, arrived home
Wednesday. Mr.. Myers looks and
feels very much "rejuvinated" and
incorporated by his visit and acclaims
loudly the virtures and rebuilding
qualities of the Hot Springs resort.
Mr.. Myers was present during the
flood of the city and saw Central
Avenue a violent and raging current
of flood water 8 or feet deep and
filling the street and coming up to
the second story on the principal store
buildings. During the high flood
stage automobiles floated down the
streets like chunks of wood and sew
eral hundred piled up at the end of
the street. Mr.. Myers was marooned
in barber shop where he remained
standing on high stool knee-deep in
the water. He remained on his high
perch until the entire front of the
building gave way by water pressure
and water filled the room, when he
managed to wade out and, climb a
stairway to second story. The
flood tore up the asphalt street paw
ing in great blocks 80 feet wide and
over 100 feet in length. Store fronts
were crushed out and entire contents
of stores were destroyed and car
ried away by the water. Mr.. Myers
stated that his former experience
with floods in Water Valley helped
him to control his nerve and COM
posure and at no time was he un-
duly alarmed, not even when a big
automobile came floating in the
barber shop while he was wading out
to a stairway leading to the second
story and possible safety.

HEARST THINKS FORD
COULD BE ELECTED
Believes He Could Win the
Presidency If Left to
Popular Vote

New Orleans, May 26.-william
Randolph Hearst, publisher, today
predicted in an interview with The
States that Henry Ford could be
elected president of the United
States if left to the popular vote
of the people. Mr.. Hearst was here
a few hours enroute to California
via Fort Worth, Texas.
"But the only way Ford can ever
run for President will be as an in
dependent candidate" Mr.. Hearst
added. "The political machines of
both national parties, Democratic and
Republican alike, are in the hands of
old line reactionaries. They may not
want, but they can prevent the nomi-
nation of the man they do not want
and that man is Henry Ford.
II believe the Republican party will
go down to the most decisive defeat
in its history in the coming Pres
idential election. The so-called for
eign policy of that party will be re-
-sponsible for its defeat. / am unalter-
ably opposed to the entry of the
United States into the League of
Nations or to the world court, which
is nothing but stepping stone to
the League"

Now, the timbers for the Derrick

spite the heavy rains that fell during

its conclusion paid notable tribute
to Water Valleys fine Chautauqua
snirit, calling attention to the fact
that it is one of the oldest Chautau-
qua places on the entire Gulf States
Circuit, covering nearly one hum
dred and twenty towns and cities.
The opening number was the Di-
Giorgio Concert Company, composed
Of finished musicians from Mime
apolis. Thursday night William
Rainey Bennett delivered his great
inspirational lecture on "The Man
Who Can," which greatly pleased
his representative audience. The
second day Havelock, the Clown,
greatly amused his audience and the
comedy-drama, "Turn to the Right"
by a group of talented actors and
actresses from New York City was
one of the outstanding attractio
of the entire programe. Saturday
Misses Roberta Clarke and Lois Holt,
the Story Hour girls, gave a fine
rendition of familiar Mother Goose
rhymes, done in costume, followed by
an entrancingly beautiful German
fairy story.

men remained over with Governor
Brough in Water Valley last Sun
day and further endeared them
selves by some splendid sacred songs
sung at the churches and the union
services Sunday afternoon. The
lecture by Former Governor Brough,
of Arkansas, on Americas Leader
ship of the World" was eloquent,
inspiring, and, as he recounted the
triumphs of our nation in govern
ment's business, education, literature,
the fine arts, oratory, craftsmanship,
wit and humor, sports and athletics,
and above all, in moral sidealism and
religious progress, he made US feel
prouder than ever before that we

to Woodrow Wilson as "the greatest
POLITICAL philosopher of all time, and
a statesman combining the patriotism
of Washington, the philosophy of a
Jefferson, the constructive genius OF
a Hamilton, the courage of Jackson,
