COMMITTEE HELD INTACT
Project Not Abandoned, But
Development to Be Defer
red Until Later Time

The Warwick power site on Flint

interests decide to go ahead UNI

came known here this morning. De-
cision not to participate in the de-

Tuesday, following a thorough in
vestigation of the cost and probable
demand for power to be generated
by reason Of the development.
This project was suggested to the
Chamber of Commerce here some
time ago by Cordele interests de-
sirous of developing power for con-
sumption in that city. A commit
tee headed by J. T. Warren was
named by Lovelace Eve, president
of the Chamber, to go into the pro-
ject and the entire proposal was
carefully considered by this COM
mittee. Every phase of engineer
ing and overflow problems was con-
sidered by this committee. The
probable volume Of power to be
generated through the development
and the field for distribution ana
use Of this power, were other
phases investigated by this commit
tee and their conclusions were
made only after a most careful sur
vey of the entire project.

FRENCH PRESIDENT Be
FORCED OUT BY BLOC
Both Houses Repudiate EIysee
Occupants Position Toward
Executive Affairs

PARIS, June 11.-President
Milleranad resigned today.
The presidents determination to
resign came after the reading late
Tuesday in the two houses of a
presidential message presented by
The new premier Fredric Francois
Marsal, in which NJ. Millerand de-
clined to resign and an adverse vote
against the ministry by both cham
Der and senate and finally the adop-
ton of a motion offered in the
chamber by Edourd Herriot, leader
of the radical socialists, which in eff
feet eliminated any government
favorable to, or suggested by NJ.
Millerand.
The resolution was:
"The chamber is resolved not to
enter into relations with ministry
which in it's composition is mega
ton of the rights of parliament. 1t
refuses to accept the unconstitu-
tional debate to which it is invited
and decides to postpone all discus
sion until the day when a govern
ment constituted in conformity
with the sovereign viii of +he coun-
try appears before it."
This motion was adopted by the
chamber 329 to 214. The vote in
the senate ofiathe, question of an
Interpolation on the presidential
crisis was 154 to ia against the
motion.
M. Millerand's swift decision to
resign in the face of these adverse
votes leaves the victorious left ma
iority in somewhat of quandary
with two outstanding candidates
M. Doumerguo president of the sen
ate, and M. Pateouve, president OF
the chamber-rivals for the pres
idential nomination.
The left majority in the cham
her, 329 is larger than the senate's
entire membership of 314, which
would seem to- bespeak certain vic
tory for M. Painleve, in the Caucus
and his election. But presidents fa-
yor the president of the senate, who
is the second officer of the state,

NEW YORK, June 11.-Dawd
Laid Rockwell, campaign manager
for William G. McAdoo, has just as
serted that Governor Smiths letter
yesterday advocating revision of the
Volstead act placed him con the
side of the out and out vets.
Governor Smiths letter draws
and tightens the line between wet
and a moral democrat" said Judge
Rockwell. "The letter puts him on
the side Of the out and out vets.
We are glad Governor Smith has
committed himself. Mr.. McAdoo is

prohibitionist."
The attitudes of Governor Smith
and Mr. McAdoo toward the Ku

profit he realizes, and asserts that
the prices of the things the farm
