Brother of McAdoo,
An Independent, Joins
Forces of La Toilette

NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-Winiam
6. McAdoo's brother, Malcolm, has
become an official member of the
La Toilette Wheeler forces.
His appointment as treasurer of
the state committee was announced
today by the La Follette-W Wheeler
headquarters. He was chosen for
the position last night by unanimous
vote of the committee.
Il am heartily glad to align my
self with a genuine progressive
movement in American politics and
TO do my part in carrying it over"
Mr.. McAdOo said Some of the
enemies of this movement try to
brighten timid supporters by calling
it radical The leaders and candi-
dates Of this movement are no more
radical than the signers of the Dec
laration of Independence, two of
whom became presidents Of the
United States, and one of whom
was Benjamin Franklin and others
of whom were men revered today as
distinguished figures in the history
of our country.
Senators La Toilette and Wheel
er are no more radical than were
Washington and Lincoln and the
armies behind them
Mr. McAdoo denied that he was
boiling the Democratic party be-
cause of his brothers. defeat, for the
Democratic presidential nomination,
adding:
"Since attaining my majority I
have voted nine times for presiden-
tial nominees, three of whom were
Democrats and six Republicans. If
1 am a bolter, 1 am a bolter of both
parties. L would have no self-re-
spect if I voted for either of the old
parties this wear"

GEORGIA GIRL, SHOT
BY TILTED SU|TOR,
At POINT OF DEATH

NEWTON, Ga, Sept. 4.-Miss
Maude Bentley, 17yearold Newton
girl, who was seriously wounded here
yesterday when she was twice shot
bv 7. E. Jones, prominent young
Baker county farmer, was still in d
critical condition this morning, but
physicians believed she had a chance
to recover. 1t was expected that she
would be taken to a hospital in AL
bany during the day.
Il is said that at the time Of the
shooting Miss Bentley was trying
to persuade Jones to wait a while
before marrying her. A marriage
license was issued several days ago,
after five days legal notice had been
posted.
Immediately after the shooting,
which occurred in the front yard of
the girls home, Jones disappeared
and has not yet been apprehended. A
warrant was placed in the hands of
Sheriff Griffin, charging Jones with
assault with intent to murder.
Jones is a brother of Chief of Pc
lice j. l.. Jones, of Albany.
The shooting is said to have oc-
Cured as the result of the breaking
by Miss Bentley of an engagement
to marry Jones, who is said to have
secured a marriage license.
Reports are to the effect that
Jones went to Miss Bentley's home
early Wednesday and called her
outside. After they had been talk
ing a few minutes, two shots were
heard by those inside the house and
they rushed out to find her lying
on the ground. One bullet had enter
ed her forehead and lodged in her
head. The other had penetrated her
left brea-s, ranging down and com
ing ont in the back.

RA|NSTORM DELAYS
REPAIRS BY FL|ERS
FOR NEXT JUMP

PICTOU, N. S., Sept. 4.-(By the
Associated Press.)-A rainstorm
from the northeast. driving at 20
knots, in squalls, ruffled the wa
ters Of Pictou harbor this morning
and forced the American army
round-the-world filters to postpone
until this afternoon the task of pre-
raring their planes for the hop-off
for st. John, N. B., which they eX-
pect to make tomorrow morning, if
the weather permits.
At noon the weather gave evil
dence of clearing and Lieut.. Lowell
II. Smith, the flight commander,
hoped that he and Lieut.. Erik Mel
son and their assistants, Lieutenants
Leslie P. Arnold and John Harding,
Jr., would be able to devote the
afternoon to work on the planes.<
The airmen declared it would not
be a difficult task to repair the
spreader bar on Lieutenant Smiths
plane, which broke during the flight
yesterday from Hawkes. Bay, New
foundland, and that the refueling
and oiling of the planes would take
little additional time. A patrol boat
stood by the planes throughout the
night.
The unfaVorable weather condi-
tons this morning prevented Lieu
tenant Leigh Wade and Lieutenant
III. H. Ogden from fitting the new
propeller, brought in by the U. S.
cruiser Milwaukee, on their new
plane, the Boston Ii, in which they
will rejoin their comrades on the
trip to American territory.
Lieutenants Leigh Wade and H.
H. Ogden, with a new plane to re-
place the one they lost on the hop
to Iceland, have rejoined their COM
rades and will leave with them to
complete the flight back to the Pa
cific coast.
Lieutenants Lowell Fl. Smith and
Erik Nelson and their assistants,
LieItenants Leslie Arnold and John
Harding, Jr., decided before begin
ming their hop here from Hawkes.
Bay, N. F.. yesterday that they
would continue on to Boston after
a nights rest, but this program was
overturned by a combination of
circumstances, including the break
ing of a spreader bar on Lieuten-
ant Smiths plane and the lateness
of their arrival, which precluded
the possibility of refuelling, oiling
and repairing the planes before
dark.
The 420-mile trip from Hawkes.
Bay, which required hours, 26
minutes, was made under generally
favorable conditions for this region,
although the airmen were somewhat
delayed by occasional rain squalls
and head winds. There was no fog
and the visibility was exceptionally
good.
The men received a great popular
and official welcome from the Nova
Scotians and were taken in a tri-
umphal procession through the
streets

Married Friday, 18th,
Smashed Il Mirrors;
Now Held for Murder

DETROIT, Sept. 4.-Thirteen mir
rors were broken the afternoon of
Friday, June 10, last, at the mar
riage of Thomas Boyce, thirty, to
Miss Louise Quinn, twenty nine, in
cell number 10, of the gloomy hold
of the Australian ship, then an
chored in the Detroit river.
In further defiance of superstition,
the ceremony was witnessed by 13
persons.
Boyce today is held by police in
connection with the death Sunday
night of Clyde Keller, who was
found with his head crushed in a
moving van at the rear of an apart
ment house in which lived Mrs.
Irene Bellanger, thirty-year-old di-
vorcee, who is also in custody. Mrs.
Frances Rice, a friend of Mrs. Bel
LANCER, also has been arrested for
questioning.
Boyce, Mrs. Bellanger and Mrs.
Rice told police that Keller was with
them in the Bellanger apartment
Sunday night: that there had been
some drinking, and that Keller fell.
He was last seen, they say, limping
toward the moving van. They said
they knew nothing about the ham,
mer found beside Keller's body.

of the family physician. While they
were convalescing, neighbors pre-
pared their food. When they got

, back to the family kitchen, all be-
came i'll again, the father and two
children dying An investigation by
neighbors revealed that the arsenate
had fallen from a shelf into the flour

the flour, had not been noticed.
