MAYF|ELD
HEARING
Minority Members of Senate
Committee Seek to End
Case Before Adjournment

The minority members Of the
Senate Committee investigating the
contest Of George E. B. Peddy, de-
feated Republican, for the seat Of
Senator Earle B. Mayfield, of
Texas, will make another stubborn
stand, it was learned today, for
the committee to wind up it's hear
ings before Congress adjourns to.
morrow night.
Luther Nickels, chief Of Peddy's
counsel, has elaborate plans, to
try to prove the Ku Klux Khan,
which, he charges, conspired to
elect Mayfield, is a criminal organ
ization. He also wishes to go ex-
tensively into charges that voters
were intimidated. To do that, the
hearings either would have to be
continued through the summer, or
be resumed in the next session.
w. F. Zumbrunn, chief of May
fields counsel, has abandoned plans
for calling DR.. w. H. Evans, I'm
perial wizard and other high khan
officials, holding that their testi-
mony is not necessary.
II can wind up my case within
80 minutes after the other side has
he told the committee
today. The committee will meet
this afternoon probably in execu-
tive session.

Mrs. Mary Burns, twenty-eight,

assist her so that she would not

and unless some one comes to
my aid guess will have to
become his wife," she said.
Several months, ago l began
to correspond with the man
through a girl friend of mine.
Since that time we had been
exchanging letters and two
weeks ago he proposed to me
through the mail. A week ago
l arrived in Cincinnati.
"Since / have seen the man /

Z STATUES ARE
PROPOSED
FOR D. {.
Bill Provides Memorials to
jefferson and Madison at
100000 Each

In commemoration of the 150th
anniversary OF the declaration Of
independence to be celebrated in
1925 statues would be erected in
Washington to Thomas Jefferson
and James Madison, third and
fourth Presidents Of the United
States, under a resolution presented
to the House today by Representa-
tive Robert l.. Bacon, Republican,
Of New York.
The cost of the statues would be
100000 each.
jefferson would be honored for
his authorship of the famous Dec
laration, adopted July 4, 1916, and
Madison for his work in shaping
the Constitution adopted twelve
years later. In his resolution Con-
gresham Bacon calls attention to
the fact that a similar statue to
Alexander Hamilton was recently
erected in front Of the Treasury
Department.
He regards his resolution as pre-
liminary to a movement to bring
about a nationwide celebration on
July 4, 1925, with special exercises
In Philadelphia in the presence of
the President and members Of Con-
gress with appropriate observances
throughout the country.
"It seems a strange oversight"
said Bacon, that no statue has
ever ever been erected in the ma.
TONS capital to either of these two
men who did so much to found the
Government. The fact that they
were Democrats, and l am a Re.
publican does not deter me from
seeking to overcome the oversight
at this late day. Congress should
not again permit this to be done
by a generous private donor as in
the case of the statue to Hamilton"
