Blow Brings Memory
Back After 5 Years;
Remembers Lost Wife

ST. CLOUD, MINI, Oct. 23.-The
blow on the head that knocked Ar
thur E. Whitney, federal prohibition
agent, of Minneapolis, under the
wheels of a truck at New Munich,
Mimi, Wednesday night, fracturing
his skull, also turned the pages of
his life back five years, it was re-
vealed here last night.
Whitney was overseas twenty
seven months during the World war,
was gassed three times and a victim
of loss of memory. His life after the
last gas attack was a blank.
After the war, he landed in New
York and obtained job as a fed
eral prohibition agent. There he
met young woman known as Ann
Whitney, who has lived in st. Paul
with him for the last two years.
When Whitney, at a local hospital
regained consciousness last night for
the first time since the blow WCdnes-
day. standing beside the bed was
Mrs. Luella Whitney, who married
him in Grafton, N. D., in 1912 and
who bore him two sons.
He said he knew nothing Of Ann
Whitney, nothing of the baby soon
to arrive, nothing of the almost
complete divorce proceedings be-
tween himself and Luella. and moth
ing of how he was hurt.
Whitney had a faint idea that he
had been a government dry agent,
however. He asked his wife how the
boys were and apparently did not
realize the passage of time.
Physicians say Whitney will re-
cover.

Mrs. Renfroe Granted
Temporary Letters for
Woodward Estate

Another complication was added
Wednesday to the already involved
litigation surrounding the will OF
the late Mr.. James G.. Woodward,
four times mayor of Atlanta, when
Mrs. Mamie Woodward Renfroe.
only daughter of Mr.. Woodward. APP
peared before Ordinary Thomas H.
Jeffries and secured temporary let
tiers of administration allowing her
to settle pressing obligations and
current expenses of the Woodward
estate.
A legal fight for the estate Of Mr..
Woodward was begun several weeks
ago when his will was offered for
probate, cutting Mrs. Renfroe off
without a penny, leaving his home
and a monthly allowance of SIS to
his second wife, Mrs. Violet Wood
ward, and providing that the great
err portion of his estate, amounting
to more than $4,000, should go to
the Union Printers home, at Colo
RADIO Springs, Col.
Mrs. Renfroe and Mrs. woodward
Immediately filed a caveat to the
will, contending that the former
mayor was mentally irresponsible at
the time the document was drawn
Ordinary Jeffries granted the caveat
and declared the will null and void.
The Union Printers home, major
beneficiaries under the will, immedi-
ately filed in Fulton superior court
a petition asking that Ordinary JEFF
fries decision be set aside, and that
the will be declared valid in its
original form. Hearing on this petit
ton still is pending.
The letters of administration
granted Mrs. Renfroe Wednesday al
low her to administer the estate only
to the extent of paying pressing
debts and current obligations. They
do not allow her to effect a final
settlement until after the case is
decided in the superior court.

REBELLION SPREADS
THROUGH RH|NELAVD
AS VIOLENCE CROWS
SeceSsionist Troops Storm
ing Public Buildings Of
Bonn = Sanguinay En-
counters Spreading

BERLIN, Oct 2S.-The Rhineland
republican movement was extended
in some quarters of the occupied
area today but seemed to be reced-
ing in the districts first affected.
Berlin maintains that the movement
has been generally defeated.
The most important new accession
of the separatists was Duisburg, in
the Ruhr, where, according to a
Belgian official message, the republic
was proclaimed early today and the
public buildings occupied
DR.. Hans \. Dorten, leader of
the previous separatist movement,
seems to have thrown in his lot
with the proponents of the present
venture as his followers are re-
ported to have hoisted the republic
an colors ON the government build
ings at Wiesbaden, his home town,
where ten persons were wounded in
subsequent rioting.
On the other hand Berlin dis
republicans from Aix-la-Chapelle
where the present republican move
ment saw it's inception early Sun
day. The former regime is declared
to have regained complete mastery
there and also at MuenchenGlad-
bach, where the separatists had
seized control.
Attack OH COblenz
Coblenz, which the republicans
plan to make their capital, was still
in the hands of the old officials
this forenoon, but the separatists
were said to be ready to seize it
before the day was over and expect
ed no opposition to the move.
There are conflicting reports re-
garding the city of Bonn where the
republicans were reported to have
seized the government offices. The
latest Berlin advices, however, de-
clared the separatists had been de-
feated there.
Treves, Mayence and all the cities
in the Ruhr except Duisburg ap-
parently are in the hands of the
regular officials.
Overnight developments in the
Bavarian situation were negligible.
The aggressive attitude of DR.. Won
Kahr, the BaVarian dictator, and the
support given him against Berlin by
General Won LossoW, commander of
the Bavarian Reichswehr, has made
The Bavarian authorities masters of
the situation and left the central
government apparently helpless for
the moment to curb such independ-
ent action as Bavaria may wish to
take.
Food Riots Continue
It is insisted in Munich, however,
that Bavaria is not considering Sc
cession from the federation and that
The differences are solely with the
present Berlin government. Mean
while the Reicherat or council of the
Reich. has been summoned to meet
tomorrow to discuss the whole Ba
varian situation.
Food disorders are continuing in
interior Germany. The most serious
developments now is at Hamburg
where rioters early today stormed
several police stations and retained
them for several hours, police rein
forcementS recaptured them. There
was pIundering Of food shops and
other disorders. The turbulence had
not been entirely subdued at the
latest adYiceS.

TWO WOMEN ARE
VICTIMS Of DEADLY
Ak IN BIRMINGHAM

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Oct. "a
reached a total of twenty today
when Mrs. Frank Romeo died from
wounds inflicted by a person who
entered the shop and home of Ber
nard Vigilante, her son-in-law, last
night, at which time Mrs. Vigilante
was probably fatally injured by the
same axnan. The assailant of the
two women used a meat cleaver. Six.
ty dollars was removed from the
cash register, police reported, after
the attack. 1t was said at a hospital
where Mrs. V1gilante was removed
that her wounds were of the most
serious nature.
Besides twenty deaths from such
attacks within the last two and a half
years, eighteen other persons have
been injured and have recovered.
Numerous arrests have been made
in connection with the various at
lacks, but few convictions have re-
suited. The victim in nearly every
case was a small shopkeeper, set
upon in the night by a person using
an ak. Most of the persons attacked
have been foreigners or persons of
foreign extraction, police records
show.
Criminologists have offered vari-
Gus suggestions in connection with
the repeated attacks, but all lines Of
inquiry appear to have led nowhere.
In some cases robbery appeared the
motive, the records reveal. while in
other instances there were no signs
of robbery. The attacks have been
most fiendish in execution, the
threats of women being slashed in
many instances, while the bodies of
men and women have been hacked
to pieces.
Jim Taylor, negro, was arrested
several hours after the attack upon
the women, and is held for examina
ton,

DUBLIN, Oct. 23.-Between two
and three thousand republican pris-
oners and internes are reported to be
hunger striking throughout Ireland
today. Even the prison officials do
not know just how many there are.
They can guess from the amount of
food left untouched, but not until
time weakens the physiques of the
strikers will any definite data, as to
the number be available.
The hunger strike is an attempt
to force the wholesale, unconditional
release of 10000 republicans still in
jail. About 80 per cent of this num-
Der could gain immediate release by
signing a guarantee not to take up
arms again against the state.

Court Fight Is Seen

Meanwhile, the senate during the
day is expected to organize as
court of impeachment to try the gov
ernor for alleged malfeasance in Of
flee.
Close followers of the situation
predicted that the governors first
move would take form in the action
in the criminal court of appeals
to nullify the impeachment proceed
ings. He would base his suit, it was
said, on grounds that since the legis-
lature was called into special session
solely to enact anti-Ku Klux Khan
legislation, it is not empowered to
take up other matters.
The senate likewise is expected to
seek recourse in the courts should
Governor Walton fail to comply
with the provisions of the suspen-
sion order.
Two separate bills of impeach-
ment were filed with the senate late
Yesterday by the lower house, act
ing on evidence submitted by it's
committee which investigated the
executives official conduct. The
first charged that the governor had
diverted state funds to his own use
by entering his private chauffeur on
the state health department payrolls.
The other alleged he committed a
constitutional offense by refusing to
permit a grand jury to meet after
it had been summoned to review his
official acts.
Twenty other counts contained in
the committee report are to be con-
sidered and voted on by the house
Immediately; and the senate has
announced it will be in readiness to
receive further bills of impeach-
ment should any of the remaining
articles be accepted by the lower
house.
House Action a Surprise
All of these charges come under
the general allegations of moral tur-
ptude, incompetency, corruption in
office and wilful neglect of duty.
Action of the house in suddenly
passing to a consideration of the
| charges came unexpectedly late yes
terday. Previously, it had been
agreed to read the complete testi-
committee. and most of the days
sessions had been consumed in the
oral presentation.
Virtually without discussion the
second charge enumerated in the
! committee report, that alleging di-
version of state funds, was accepted
| by an overwhelming vote and it i'm
mediately was sent to the senate as
a formal Indictment The upper
house voted in turn to receive the
charge and this was the signal for
introduction of the suspension reso-
| luton by Senator w. Z. Gulager. of
Muskogee. This was passed with
but one dissenting vote and copies
! of the resolution then we're ordered
served on both Governor Walton
and Lieutenant Governor Trap.
Within q few moments, the third
committee charge against the gov
ernor had been approved by the
| house and transmitted to the senate.
Both houses then adjourned, the
| lower body announcing that cOnsid-
Grafton of the remaining counts in
the committee report would begin
| today.

WALTON |MPEACHED
AND REMOVED FROM
OFFICE BY SENATE

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Oct. "a.
By the Associated Press.)-The bit
terest fight precipitated since the
converting of the special session of
the Oklahoma legislature broke on
the floor of the house today when
Representative J. w. Callahan.
Democrat, Latimer county, intro
duced resolution providing for an
investigation to determine who paid
the expenses Of house members
when they attempted to convene
September 26. and were dispersed
by military authorities upon orders
from Governor j. C. Walton. Gala
han is a Walton supporter.
The resolution was adopted after
d brief but acrimonious debate and
was referred to a committee investl-
cation conduct of house members.
The resolution sought especially
an inquiry to determine whether the
XII Klux Khan or certain "interests"
in Tulsa had contributed funds for
the attempted session.
Saws He Has Proof
Representative J. 3. Phillips,
Democrat, Cleveland county, assall-
ed Callahan for his reflection on the
house members who sought to an
swer the call for the session that
was blocked by the governor. He
demanded an immediate investiga-
ton of the charges and declared
that if it is proved untrue he would
move Callahan's suspension from
the house.
Callahan rejoined that he had the
proof and dared the house let him
produce his testimony.
While the house fight was in
progress both Governor Walton and
Lieutenant Governor Trap arrived
at their offices, and were officially
served with the senate resolution
ado opted late yesterday suspending
the former temporarily and naming
the latter acting governor during the
i1r pea chment trial of Governor Wal
ton.
Lieutenant Governor Trap declar-
ed that he would seek an opinion
from George Short, state attorney
general, as to the legality of the
senate resolution ,lesignatinf him
acting governor during the trial of
the chief executive. He declared that
he will be guided by the attorney
generals finding and that if he is
informed he is the legally empowered
acting governor, he will perform the
normal routine duties of the execu'
tive's office.
An effort to file two executive or
ders with the secretary of state was
made today by a clerk from the Of
flee of Governor Walton. Miss Una
Roberts, assistant secretary Of state,
refused to accept the papers in view
of the resolution adopted by the
state senate suspending the COVER
nor from office. Observers believed
the incident may be made the basis
for court action to test the legality
of the executives suspension.
The probability doomed that court
action would be resorted to by one
side or the other-possibly both
before the proceedings are complet-
ed.
Court Fight Is Seen
Meanwhile, the senate during the
day is expected to organize as a
court of impeachment to try the gov
ernor for alleged malfeasance in Of
flee.
Close followers Of the situation
nredicted that the gONernOr'S first
