His Craving For Publicity Given As Reason For
 Expulsion

CHICAGO, nSept. 16. - S. Glenn Young, formerly paid leader in liquor raids sponsored by the Ku Klux Klan in southern Illinois. has been relieved of all connection with the organizations. officials with the office of Charles G. Palmer, grand dragon of the Illinois klan, announced today.
 "Young's inordinate craving for per sonal publicity is said by his friends to be responsible for the action of high officials who are sworn to protect the organization from any taint of conner cialism," says the Illinois Kourier. or gan of the klan in Illinois. It is agreed that the law enforcement officer performed a splendid service in Will liamson county, for which he was well recompensed."
 Young's wife was blinded by shots and he was wounded by assailants at the same time in southern Illinois some time ago when fired on from ambush and he is under indictment at Danville on federal charges in connection with his activities in southern Illinois.

NEW IRISH CRISIS

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Relteratlon oy the cabinet of Northern Ireland whcih met today at Streatly-On-Thames the residence of Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, of it's previous decision not to appoint a representative on the Douno- ary commission to settled the dispute be- tween Ulster and the Irish free state: undoubtedly means the precipitation oi a new Irish crisis in the opinion ot official observers.
 Unless an entirely unexpected devel- opment takes place. parliament will re, re- assemble at Westminster September 5O in an atmosphere of the utmost gravity to pass the legislation necessary to con stitute the boundary commission.
 The Irish question is coming back into British politics unless all indica- tions fail and responsible leaders do not disguise their apprehension at the turn affairs may take.

who would make up this loss to the gov ernment's income"
 Earlier in his address Mir. Griffith declared that no industry in the United States was gaining confidence so rapidly as was the lighting industry. One reason for this was that small in vestors were being drawn to the indus try and that the fact that trust com pany funds were being used by utility companies, was becoming generally known.
 F. A, Wilson -LawrensOn, publisher of the Atlanta Georgian, was the only other speaker on the evening program. His subject, Cooperation between the public utilities and the press," was a misnomer, Mir. Wilson-Lawrenson said, declaring that, in a great measure, newspapers were a public utility.
 One of the high lights in his ad- dress was that public utilities had q right to take part in politics, as much as an individual. In this connection, he brought out that the citizen takes part in politics to better his living con- ditions and that the same regard by public utilities should not occasion com ment.
 The final feature of the program was the showing of motion pictures of the forty seventh convention of the national association.
 Public utilities must exist as mono polies in their respective cities and communities in order to prevent economic waste and excessive cost of the utilities.
 This was the keynote of the address (Continued on Page TwO.)
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-17

Public ownership of utilities was ridiculed by Franklin T. Griffith, Port land, Ore, president of the National Electric Light association, in the prin- cipal address before the third general session of the twelfth annual conven- ton of the southeastern division of the association at the Hotel Tutwiler Tues day night.
 In prefacing his remarks, MT. Grif. fifth declared that the issuance of fed eral bonds for schools and for many improvements within the scope of the government, was necessary for the bet terment of the nation; but that seri- ous situation would result from govern ment ownership of public utilities.
 Under the government ownership plan, the development of public utilities would not provide proper recompense for the men, whose initiative and re- sourcefulness makes the utilities pos sible. This would result in stifling the growth of the various industries" MT. Griffith asserted.
 "Then, consider the electric light in dustries with an investment of more than six billion dollars or all public utilities with total valuation of more than 15 billion dollars. Within a few years, this figure will be doubled. Un- der government ownership, there would be an investment of more than 30 bill lions, upon which no taxes could be levied. Nor could the income from this investment be taxed.
 Furthermore, bonds of like amount would have to be issued and neither the bonds nor the income from them be taxed" Mir. Griffith continued. "And

PEKIVG ADVANCE MADE BY CHIEF
 OF MANCHURIA
Fierce Warlord's Legions Drive Enemy Back
 Over 25 Miles

SHANGHAI, Sept. 16.-Smashing forward on the advance against Pekin, the Manchurian hordes of Chang Tso' Lin are pushing southward, victorious over the hastily reinforced troops of Wu Pei Flu, who are attempting to block their path
 The Manchurian war lords second army captured Manliang Tuesday, driy- ing the enemy back 25 miles in sharp fighting. The new gains leave the Tail. ing river entirely in. the possession of Chang Tso-Lin.
 Chang himself is in personal com mand of the Mukden forces which are invading Chihli. These troops were locked Tuesday in sharp fighting with We Pei Fu's forces at Patuyingtse, east of. Chaoyang. Chang was taking the offensive in the battle, throwing men into action in the hope of crushing the Wu army and capturing Chnoyang it, self.
 Centers In North
 It has become evident that the main struggle of the civil war will center oi the northern zone where Chang ant Wi are not at grips. Pekin leaders who have remained passive in the fact of the Shanghai fighting, are frantically struggling to create a force that car stem the rush of the Manchurian le' gions. The news that Sun Yat Sen president of South China, has gone to the district dominated by Chang IS causing anxiety here.
 As outlined in previous dispatches military men believe that the first show down in the campaign will come at Shannaihan, on the Great Wall, where the opposing armies now face each oth' CT. Chang, if victorious, will push south along the railway to attack Pekin
 Drive On Shanghai
 Meanwhile, however, sharp fighting continues outside this city. The Chi Hsei Hyuan forces began a strong of' fensive against Shanghai Tuesday ait ernoon. but at the hour of writing they had not made any gains.
 During the night the contsnding forces had waged an intense artillery duel IA miles from the city. The noise of the guns was distinctly audible here. Wu Pei Flu. northern rebel leader, has sent 5000 men to the Chi Hsei Hyuan camp, and these men are to be thrown into the attack on Shanghai.
 The foreign troops who have been landed here are prepared to preserve order in the event that the city IS taken

MACON, Ga, Sept. 16.-' Two persons were dead and a half dozen or more others ii- jured as a result of the storm that has been eepng through southern Georgia.
 In Nashville, Ga., tonight an electric wire that had been torn loose last night, crippling the elNctric light service, fell when the current was turned on and killed R. M. Crism, 65, proprietor of a general store.
 The storm reached the proportions of a tornado in the vicinity of Brown town, 9 miles from Brunswick, and killed one person and injured a half dozen others. The five-year-old daugh- ter of William Penn, timekeeper for the Hercules Powder company, was killed instantly.
 The Penn home was demolished. Mrs. Penn was badly injured as was an in fant daughter. A half dozen other homes near the Penn residence were wrecked.
 Three negroes were caught under the debris of one building, all of them sustaining injuries.
 The tornado struck the village about 10 a. m. and lasted only short time. Physicians from nearby towns hast ened to the scene to render aid. They reported tonight that every hGifding in the little town had been blown down.
 In Thomasville a record rainfall was reported, nearly nine inches in 24 hours. Similar reports were received from Valdosta and other towns along the Florida line
 No one was injured in other cities in southern Georgia, so far as can be ascertained tonight though many of the towns are cut off from the outside world, wires being down. The roads are impossible.
 The local weather bureau issued a warning that the Oconee and Alta maha rivers south of here, will be out of their banks at all low points.
 The Ocmulgee river here is high but still below flood stage.

MURDER CHARGE FACED DRIVER
 WHO KILLS SIX
Auto Runs Down Group Of Veterans Near
 St. Johns

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Sept. 16.-A charge of murder was lodged today against Leonard Reid held responsible for the deaths of six men who were killed when his automobile ran down group of world war veterans at Callahan's crossing near this city early today. When arrested Reid was held for manslaughter and the charge changed to murder in court today.
 Bail was set at $2O0,0OO for Reid, who is a member of one of New Found lands first families. Of this amount Reid himself furnished $10O, 900 bonds while his uncle, Robert Reid, and a friend. Leonard Outerbridge each posted $50,00O.
 Two Are Naval Officers.
 Of the six men killed, two were Brit ish naval officers, and two others World war heroes. The victims were:
 Lieutenant Commander J. D. O'Cal- laghhan and Lieutenant Burroughs, of H. NJ. $. Constance, promoted only yesterday Captain G. J. Whitty, secre- tary of the Great War Veterans Asso- citation; Lieutenant William Kind, a veteran of the Royal Air Force; George Harrison of Chatham, N. B., and Clin- ton Duder of St. Johns, son of the District Grandmaster of the Scottish Free Masons of New Foundland.
 Whitty and King were members of a party of veterans who had held re- union at country inn and were board ing a bus beside the road.
 The British officers and others were in the car driven by Reid, which was returning from late supper with friends.
 Crashes Into Crowd.
 The veterans group were gathered about the bus and when the car driven by Ried, with eight passengers, came down the road and into the crowd with little warning. Whitty and King were killed instantly.
 The car then swerved to the right, overturned, and plunged down an em- bankment. Commander OCallaghan and Lieutenant Burroughs, Harrison and Ouder, were apparently killed when it struck.
 Reid, at the wheel, and Lieutenant Mellor, also of the Constance, were thrown clear of the car, and escaped unhurt. The other passengers were only slightly injured.

 FORCES DRY ISSUE
Contends That 2.75 Cider And
 Beer Legal

BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 16.-Pro- hibition Commissioner Roy A. Haynes must either arrest Representative John Philip Hill for making 2.75 per cent cider, or admit that 2.75 per cent cider and beer is legal, Mir. Hill stated today in a letter written to the commissioner.
 If Mir. Haynes does not have him arrested. he declared, he will force him to testify before Congress in support of the 2.T per cent beer bills intro duced in the last Congress.
 The contention of Mir. Hill is that the Volstead act was not intended to interfere with farmers who make home made wine and cider, since the limit of legal alcoholic strength of such bever- ages is not fixed.
