TWO JIJRIES OUT AT HAMILTON IN
 LYNCHING CASES
Mistrial Expected In Key Case-Glen Stephens
 Jury Is Drawn

HAMILTON, Ala, Feb. 1.v(Spe- cial. )AThe case of Roy Patton, for mer guardsman, charged with partici- patton in the, lynching of William Baird, miner, in 1921, was given to the jury at ? 80 o'clock this afternoon and late tonight was still deliberating. The jury in Joseph Keys case which went to the jury Wednesday afternoon, was still unable to agree and mistrial ap- peared inevitable. (, ta+.,
 It is believed to be the first time in Marion county that two juries are de liberating over the fates of two persons charged with participating in the same crime. It is recalled that the two first juries ill the Robert J. Lancaster case were unable to agree and at the third trial the jury returned verdict of guilty and fixed the sentence at IS years in the penitentiary after being out for several hours.
 Night Session Held. \
 Judge Almon speeded up the case by holding court until 9:3O o'clock last night. A number of character wit. nesses for Patton testified last night A large number brought from Tusca- loosa were not allowed to testify on objection of the state.,.
 The defendant was placed on the stand this morning. He denied any connection with the lynching of Baird He admitted the coat found in the walls of the barracks was his. He went to bed the night of the lynching, he said, and when he got up his coat was not in the room.
 He denied statements made by Hart ley and other state witnesses. The court reporter read statements made by Gully Watkins in Judge Wilkerson's of flee. Both sides rested at 10 o'clock.
 Arguments Limited.
 Judge Almon limited the arguments to one and one-half hours to each side Judge Wilkerson opened for the state and for 30 minutes detailed the evi- dence and asked for conviction. John Mcqueen for the defense made an i'm pressive appeal for acquittal. He at tackled the evidence of Hartley and others. A. H. Carmichael followed him and pointed out that clothes of the soldiers were found in the walls of the barracks who were not charged with the lynching. He attacked the evidence of Hartley severely. w. c. Davis closed for the state, speaking one hour and reviewing the case and urging convic- tion.
 Judge Almon then charged the jury for about an hour.
 The jury for the Glenn Stephens case was drawn today.

CREEL'S EXPLANATION Admits Calling Upon Secretary Of
 Navy Daniels

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-George Creel. mentioned in connection with the oil lease scandals, in the testimony of F. l.. iDoheny at Washington Friday, gave an explanation of the reference to himself here Friday night. Greet who was director of public informa- ton during the war, declares he was informed in advance of Secretary Falls intention to sell the oil leases.
 Tn November, 1920, l was visited by Leo Stack, an old-time Denver friend,". Creel's statement said. "He said he was in the oil business as an independent and had a plan in con- nection with the Wyoming Naval re- serve.
 He made it clear that the incoming administration, with MT. Fall as Sec retary of the Interior, meant to turn over both the Wyoming and California reserves to private interests.
 Since this was bound to be the case, why not have them go to a com pany that would give the government a fair bargain and the best possible royalty terms?
 MT. Stack offered me an advance of $5,000 to associate myself with him. l accepted. I gave considerable time to the plan and we went to Wash. ington and made repeated calls on Secretary Daniels and his advisers"

EDUCATOR RAPS
 LOOSE THINKING
Declares Nation Needs Men Capable Of Broad And
 Clear Reasoning

Education has become "too intensely specialized" Dr. Livingston Ferrand, president of Cornell university, told 90 Cornell alumni at the Country club Friday night.
 While we. have been developing our highly technical engineers, chemists, and lawyers, we have been neglecting the most important part of our work toward turning out men who can think in a broad, clear way and know how to live"
 It is to meet this deficiency that the New York state school is gradually ad- justing its curriculum, Dr. Ferrand said.
 Conditions in our country are more disquieting than ever before," he de- clared. There is more economic, more social confusion, and more loose men into our legislative halls who can combat this evil we have group of leaders who do prejudiced thinking"
 The answer to this problem, the edu- cator said, was a reversion to funda- mental teaching. Trained technic is not so important as the underlying basis" he stated. We must get back to fundanetals'
 Guest Of Club
 Dr. Ferrand, who was guest of the Birmingham Cornell club, is making a tour of the southern cities to "get ac- quainted" with the alumni of the insti- tuition. For half an hour after he de- livered his talk various members of the club asked questions relative to the architectural plans, athletics, and the expansion program of the institution.
 In answering one of these, Dr. Fer rand made significant remark which apparently touched a popular chord with the men he addressed.
 Other universities make plans for their tens and twenty thousands if they wish. But at Cornell we are more in- terested in quality than in quantity. We are satisfied with our present en- rollment of 5000"
 W. B. White, president of the Cor. nell club, acted as toastmaster for the banquet. Among the guests of honor were Dr. J. D. Bowling, city and county health officer. and Dr. Guy F. Snavely president of Birmingham Southern college.

 The headliner is The Four Diamonds in "A Perfect Setting" The Four Diamonds come of well known the atrical family, and their number is said to be a novelty offering. which dance among the best. They sing and dance and put on some acrobatic stunts, all of which is declared to be way above the usual.
 Comedy is the thing in the added attraction. Lowell E. Drew-Ruth Val ley and company will be seen in "Oh, Cheney" This is comedy skit, de scribed as gem. It is said to be filled with sure-fire dialogue and situations. "Oh, Chetney" was written especially for Mir. Drew and Miss Valle.
 The speciality feature is something out of the ordinary, it is said. It is the Waco Novelty Four. The main thing the quartet does is sing, of course, but in addition there is some dancing, and two of the four are comedians.
 Rounding out the bill are Keney, Mason and School, impossibles on skates. and Dallas Walker, The Amer icap Cow Girl" g

ACCEPTANCE FORECAST
Mckenzie Bill Will Have House
 Majority, Believed

WASHINGTON, Feb. That the Mckenzie bill, when reported to the House, will receive an overwhelming majority, was clearly indicated tonight.
 The Mckenzie bill authorizes the ac- ceptance by Congress of the Henry Ford offer for Muscle Shoals. The bill will have the almost solid support of the Democratic party, practically the solid support of the independent republicans and considerable minority of regular republicans.
 An attempt will be made by members opposing the Ford offer and by the Ala bama Power company to delay the vote. It is indicated, however, that they can not long postpone final action as far as the House is concerned, for some of the strongest republicans, not regarded as ardent if at all pro-Ford, are tired of the problem and would end it. These individually and formally this afternoon expressed willingness, if not desire, that the ordeal be quickly submitted. It was anticipated that the committee would report the Mckenzie bill. It was not regarded as absolutely certain, however, that it would amend the Me Kenzie bill by providing an auxiliary steam plant in the Warrior coal fields HI lleu ol tnc OOrSdS Steum pldut ulS- posed of by the government to the Ala bama Power company.
 Ford Men Enthusiastic
 That the bill was so amended, how ever, and that the vote today ordering it favorably reported was so overwhelm- ing (practically two to one) rendered Ford advocates enthusiastic tonight and made certain the passage of the measure through the House. The indi- cations are that while Representative Hull of Iowa will continue his fight for the offer of the Alabama Power company the opposition in its entirety to the Ford offer will not only be strong, but vertically a running opposition.
 It is anticipated that the bill author izing the acceptance of the Ford offer will be in the Senate within two weeks It will encounter stiff opposition in the Senate, it is reasonably certain, but flushed with sensational victory Ford supporters tonight feel themselves able to overcome any opponents.
