At Wedding and Four
Principals Face Court

NEW ORLEANS, La, July 10
\ wedding feast, at which was
served too much wine, according to
the police, resulted in the principals
and several participants being hailed
before Judge Leonard in night court
last night on charges of disturbing
the peace.

of Tony Biouez, forty-tive years old

, Heaton, twenty-one; the brides
mother, Mrs. Frances Heaton, and
Mrs. Ella Marks, aunt of the bride,
lined up before him and all started
talking.
The aunt, who persisted in ad-
dressing the court because "she
stood on her own rights" was fined
$40 or 80 days, and Mrs. Heaton.
after telling the court this was
some world where a person could
not talk a little loud without being

tence.
The bridegroom apparently sought
to profit by the others fate, as he
kept silent while the judge started
talking to him. But his articulation
soon returned when the judge fined
him SO or so days. 1t took two
policemen to return him to the dock.
he objected so strenuously to being
separated from his bride.
Charges against the bride were
dismissed by the judge and the SEN
tence imposed against the mother
was withdrawn to allow her to es
cort her daughter home.

was the one who fired the shot.
Late Saturday Mrs. Jones was at

and saw a negro trying to raise
the screen. She got ner husbands

night. and fired. She saw the negro
fall, jump up again, and run away.
She teIephoned for her husband and

Road Bid Held Up
By Federal Engineers

Albany, Ca, July 10.-Ac-
ceptance of the lowest bid for paving
the Blue Springs road from the end
of the present paving to the Mitchell
county line has been held up by fed
eral government engineers because
it is considerably lower than the fed
eral estimate for the work. This is
the unusual situation that has arisen
in connection with the receiving of
bids by the county commissioners
here, according to a statement made
by Chairman A. j. Lippitt.
Six bids, it is stated, were sub.
mitted, and that of the Ely Construc-
ton company of Augusta, was the
lowest. The state highway depart
ment and the county board of COM
missloners accepted it, but the fed
eral engineers were unwilling to do
SO, they stated, without further sub
hitting it to higher authority.

FARMER Of COBB
ACCUSES HIS WIFE
Of SHOOT INC HIM

POWDER SPRINGS, Ga, July IL.
Mrs. Ruth Billiard, wife of D. Bull
lard, well known young farmer who
was shot as he slept about midnight
Monday night, has been placed in
the Cobb county Jail at Marietta, to-
gether with Simeon Edward, a neigh
Dor of the Billiards. 1t is said that
Cobb county officers acted on in
formation furnished by Billiard, who
is recovering from his wounds in a
Marietta sanitarium. Evidence in
the affair, which, on account of the
prominence of the families involved,
has caused a sensation throughout
the county, will be placed before the
grand jury when it convenes in Ma
rietta next week.
Billiard was shot with his own
gun about midnight Monday night,
the weapon being. so close to him
that his bed was set on fire. He
is at a sanitarium in Marietta, and
it is said that he may lose both his
hands as the result of the attack
or at least the use of some of his
fingers.
The back Of each of Billiards.
hands is peppered with birdshot, and
his scalp is rather badly torn. 1t
seems that just before the shot was
fired, he instinctiveIy threw up his
hands. This may have kept some
of the shot from penetrating lower
down on his forehead, where they
might have inflicted fatal wounds.
Mr.. and Mrs. Billiard, Who are
about 25 or 26 years old, have been
married about five years. They
have no children. Billiards. father,
w. d. Billiard, is a former county
commissioner, and the families in
volved are we'll known throughout
the county.
Since her arrest Mrs. Billiard has
refused to talk of the case. 1t is
understood that members of her
family have employed counsel, but
the lawyers names have been kaQt
secret. Effort is being made to ar
range bond for her, it is understood.

ONE DEFEAT DOESN'T STAND
AS OBSTACLE TO COX; OHIOAN
STRONGER, LAWRENCE SAYS

be forgotten that he also carried
Ohio.
What Democrat can carry Ohio
against Warren G. Harding? The
friends of Cox say that the Dona-
ghey victory in the last election at
time when eXtraneous issues were
eliminated showed that the position
of Mr.. Cox in Ohio had been restored.
Cox Fighting Man
Mr.. Cox is not the kind OF man
who gives up anything without a
fight, and while he processes not to
be candidate, circumstances in the
party itself are quite likely to force
him into the position Of attempting
to reconcile the Democratic orSanl-
cations in such important states as
New York, Illinois, New Jersey and
Ohio with the Wilson wing Of the
party.
There is always the possibility,
too, the Democratic national con-
vention may be held in Cleveland,
Ohio. This would be of considerable
benefit to the Cox candidacy.
Speaking of convention cities, 1t
is not likely that the Democrats
will go to st. Louis, because of the
situation produced by the election
of Senator James Reed last autumn.
AS for Chicago, the fear of many
Democrats is that as between the
Hearst press and the Republican
newspapers in Chicago there is not
likely to be a favorable atmosphere
for the convention. New York city
would hardly be chosen because of
certain ahtagonism of the dry
elem eptS in the Democratic DartV
which would look upon the selec-
ton Of New York as a victory for
the "wets'' at the outset. Unless
the Democratic convention is going
to be a wet affair, New York city
may be regarded as out of the ques.
ton. Kansas City would be elm
mated for the same reason as St.
Louis, and it is not likely that the
Democrats will go as far west as
Denver this time. because they went
to San Francisco in 1920, and are
bound to select some city further
east in 1924.
Baltimore and Cleveland are the
most likely contenders for the Dem
ocratic convention, the former be-
cause of the fact that Maryland has
no active candidate for the presi-
dency and because it was from Bal
timore in 1912 that the last Demo-
cratic nominee was successful in
getting to the White House. The
advantages of Cleveland are, of
course, that it is a mid-western
city and is in President Harding's
home state, where the Democrats
are as anxious as possible to develop
DlJblititV and OriViIeoe
