duties and privileges of intelli-
gently exercising it. On Tuesday
we had an election. We elected
Coolidge and DAVIS for president
and vice president, and Hill and
Lee for governor and lieutenant
governor.

~ LouIs a. DoUGHER.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 3D.
Not the least downcast over the
beating given them by the Red
Sox in their last home game, the
Griffs are eager to get going
again today when they face the
Mackmen in the first of a series
of four games.
With Walter johnson for Wash
ington and Lefty Baumgartner for
Philadelphia slated for pitching
duty, a. mound duel is in prospect.
Baumgartner is a tough man to
beat. He ranks high in the
American League pitchers stand
ings.
The Mackmen are not to be
taken lightly, despite their low
position in the pennant struggle.
They showed lots of ability and
fighting spirit in Washington
Labor Day, though losing two
games, and yesterday they dealt
the Yankees a stiff jolt by win
ming in the ninth.
Bucky Harris gang think only
in terms of victory and see them
selves the winners of four games
here. But nobody could be justly
called pessimist by looking for
ward to wins in three.
On this trip, which will end the
campaign, the Griffs have twenty
games scheduled, eight in the East
and twelve in the West.

Before giving the men

Meanwhile, Mrs. Wilson

FEAR WRATH OF HAYS.
Fearing the wraht of Will
Hays, car of the screen,
local moving picture men
gathered in Inspector
Grants office and decried
the adverse publicity given
the industry. They re-
quested that reports that
Lust was a cinema distribu.

Lust is the proprietor of
a motto npicture apparatus
firm in the Mather Build
ing, while Levy is the local
distributor of the Educa-
tional Pictures Corporation,
also with offices in the
Mather Building.
Mrs. Laura George, a

Knoxville Police Search For
Man Who May Have Run
Murder Farm
BY 1nternatlonal News Service.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, Sept. g.
Police today took up new leads
in the investigation of H. B. Cole,
Knoxville's man of mystery, and
his activities over several years
of residence here, who is wanted
to explain the presence of wom-
ans mutilated and badly decom-
posed body, found at the rear of
his home shortly after his dis
appearance.
Flesh Had Been Boiled.
The body, positively identified as
that of a woman, had been con.
cealed In an old wash tub, covered
with concentrated I've, and had been
boiled shortly after death, according
to DIR. ]. j. Greer, one of the ex-
aiming physicians.
Before his sudden departure, Cole
is said to have asked a neighbor
to help him assemble a skeleton
explaining he had purchased the
body of a negro woman who had
lost her life in cabin fire. This
was six months ago, according to
the neighbor, and DR.. Greer is posi-
tive the body under examination
could not have been dead more than
six weeks, and the fact that no
sign of burns could be found only
tended to deepen the mystery.
May Be death Farm"
Another line of investigation led
to an entirely different story of the
supposed origin of the body in ques.

AIRPORT BOSTON, Mass,
Sept. Stalking the air like
frightened sparrows in vivid con-
trast to their swan-like lazy
gracefulness when equipped with
pontoons, the three round-the-
world fliers hoped off for New
York at noon today.
Lieutenant Smith, in the Chi
cago, took the air at 1902 and
was followed at one minute ir-
tervals by Lieutenant Wade and
Lieutenant Nelson. They circled
about the field once, seemed to
hover over Boston for a minute
and then circled once again as
they fell into formation, and made
a bee-line for New York. They
are due in Washington tomorrow.
They rapidly became specks In
the distance and at 1914 passed out
of sight.
After hearty breakfast the
fliers returned to the field loaded
down with kit bags containing their
personal belongings which they
slowed in the cockpits of their
machines.
The Chicago, Lieutenant Smiths
machine 80
hangar at 1896 and put on the
line. The Boston II, Lieutenant
Wade's machine followed a few
minutes later and then Lieutenant
Nelson's machine, the New Orleans
was wheeled out.
1t was announced that Lieuten-
ant r. c. Moffett, who made the
record flight between Boston and
New York would accompany the
filters to Seattle. A navy airplane
will also fly from Boston to
Mitchell field with them.
After working like Trojaus from
5 o'clock yesterday. morning until
after o'clock last night while
thousands of spectators watched
their every move, the filters re-
turned to their hotel for a much
needed rest, returning to the air
field before sun up today to tune
up their ships for the next epoch
making hop.
AS soon as the sun was directly
over head, General Mason M. Pat.
rick, chief of the air service; AS
sistant Secretary Of War Dwight
w. Davis and a third plane took
to the air and headed for the Soutll.
They were followed a few sec.
onds later by the giant Douglas
world cruisers in a 'V" formation,
Lieutenant Lowell H. Smith in the
lead, Lieutenant Erik Nelson on the
left and Lieutenant Leigh Wade on
the right.
Other escorting machines, includ.
ing one in which Gunar Nelson, of
Dayton, Ohio, brother of the air
hero, was passenger, followed the
globe wingers.
The most direct line will be taken
which would put them over New
York about 2 o'clock, and bring
them to Mitchell field about 3
o'clock.
