THREE INDICTED FOR SWTNDLING
 ATLANTA STORES
Lottery Bulletin Was To Have Been Privately
 Circulated

ATLANTA, Ga, June 13.-What is believed to have been one of the shrewd- est swindline schemes ever developed in Atlanta was nipped in the bud today when the grand jury indicted l.. A. Crews, c. 4. Parker, Jr., and R. J. Powers for operating a lottery.
 Crews and Powers, said to be of Dallas, Texas, and Parker of 4Columhia, Tenn, could not be located today, but information in the hands of Sheriff Lowry and the solicitor generals office is expected to lead to their arrest out side the state.
 The testimony laid before the grand jury was to the effect that the alleged swindling game was to sell advertising space to retail merchants in a bulletin published by promoters of alleged lot tery. This bulletin went into Atlanta homes by carriers and residents were urged to purchase their goods at the stores which had bought space Euaran- teeing that they would receive num- bereI coupons which were chances on an automobile, one car being awarded every month.
 Between $15,OOO and $2o.OOO was spent by Atlanta merchants for adver- tising space in the bulletin, it was learned

MADE NEW EXECUTIVE FRENCH NATION First Task Of President Will Be To Find
 Premier HEREOF EXPECTED TO RECEIVE OFFER Whether Or Not Radical Will Accept Causes
 Speculation
By JOHN O'BRIEN,
(By Leased Wire to Age-HeraId.)

(By Leased Wire to Age-Heraid.)
 PARIS, June 13.-As the thunder of one hundred and one guns noti- fled Paris that new president of France was within the walls of the Qualifications, Gaston Domergue, twelfth president of the third re- public, entered the capital following his election at Versailles palace Friday. --t--~
 The first task of the new leader will be to find a premier for France. He will begin the usual converse tions with political leaders Satur- day.
 It is regarded that Domergue will offer the post to Edouard Herriot.
 May Again Refuse
 But France is already excited over the possibility that Herriot, leader of the radical bloc which busted Millerand may now again refuse the premiership Herriot declined to accept power from Millerand, and Millerand was over thrown. But President Domergue, elected over Paul Painleve, Herriot's friend, is not entirely acceptable to Herriot's group. He is looked upon as a conservative, and the opposition par ties jubilantly declare that he is prac- tically their man. --,
 A news agency here carried a re- port Friday that Herriot had formally stated that he would refuse to form cabinet for any president elected by the right wing groups, and would re- fuse to accept power in case DOmergue were elected. Later Herriot's friends denied that he had made any such state ment.
 It is regarded as significant that the radical leader saw the new president 2 moment after his election, and many still believe that Herriot will be the next premier
 Long In Public Life
 NJ. Domergue, senator from the Gand department and head of the senate, who today was elected to be the thirteenth president of France, to succeed Alexandre Millerand, has had a long career in public life during which he has been premier and has held number of portfolios in various minis tries. He was born at Aigues-Vives, August l, 1863, he began the practice of law at Mines in 1885.
 Before the caucus of the parties of theA Left yesterday, Nj. Domergue an- nounced that he was not a candidate before the caucus but would stand for election before the national assembly today. When the caucus designated M. Palnleve as the candidate of the Left parties and when leaders of the Left, fearful of break in their ranks asked both NJ. Painleve and NJ. Domer- que to retire in favor of a third candi- date, the president of the senate re- fused. declaring he Lad never advanced his own candidacy and that he refused to ask his friends to refrain from vot- mig for him.

WOULD COLLECT UNPAID NOTES
 FOR OIL STOCK
Walker Petroleum Files Suit For $222,56O,
 Alleged Due

Court action was taken Friday by B. B. Stevens, trustee in bankruptcy for the Walker. Consolidated Petroleum company, to collect $222. 40 alleged te have been due the company on pcoua- iascry notes tgiyen in return for stOcli in the corporations, officials of which are now facing trial in circuit court for alleged violation of the Alabama Blue Sky law. They also have been indicted by the federal grand jury for alleged violations of federal statutes.
 Action taken was in the form of a suit for the amount alleged to be due on these notes, filed in chancery court. Forty-fiVe persons are named as re- spondents, several of them having thOu- sands of dollars invested in :he concern.
 The petition for a judgment asked that in case this judgment is withheld by the court, six persons named as sub scribers to the capital stock, who are alleged to owe $1,275,0O0 on their sub scriptions, be made personally and la- dividually responsible for that amount.
 The petition declared that lIudsei. Hopson, one of the officers of the Walk CT Consolidated Petroleum company, was also one of the main stockholders and had failed to pay the full amount sub scribed for stock. According to the pe- tition, he subscrihed for $4O0,O00, of which amount he had actually paid only $150,OOO, leaving a balance of $250, GOO.
 Other alleged owners of large blocks of the firms capital stock are T. H. Aldrich, IT,, alleged to have subscribed for $400,O00 and to have paid only $2O0, ,000; Charles R. Reid of Selma, alleged to have subscribed for $400,O ,O00 and paid $150,00O; W. l.. Murdoch of Birmingham, alleged to have subscribed for $4OO,0 and to have paid in only S1O0,000, and E. l.. Andrews, charged with the payment of only half of his subscription for $50,0 and c. r. Hop son of Birmingham, charged with $400,- 900 and said to have paid $15O,O0O.
 It was claimed that the unpaid sub scriptiOns of stockholders should be re- garded as assets of the bankrupt com pany, to be used by the trustee in bank ruptcy in payment of obligations. It was also claimed that the 45 persons named as respondents had refused to make good their notes on the ground that fraud had been practiced upon them in obtaining their signatures. It was pointed out that proper court ac- tion might be invoked to determine the status of this claim. ta.
 Hudson HopsOn, T. H. Aldrich, Jr., c. R. Reid, c. P. HopsOn, W. l.. Mur- dock and D. L. Andrews are the six men whom the court has been asked to hold responsible for the amount of their unpaid subscriptions in case judg-

B ARE RELEASED IN RIOT CASE;
 3l TO BE TRIED
Charges Against Alleged Klansmen And Lilly
 Men NOlle Pressed

EBENSBURG, Pa, June 13.- Eleven alleged members of the Ku Klux Klan and two residents of Lilly. who have been held in the county jail here ten weeks under indictments of mur- der and manslaughter in connection with the affras 1t Lilly April 5, which resulted in the death of three persons and the injury of others, were freed to- night.
 They were given their liberty after Judge Thomas P. Finletter granted a motion of District Attorney D. F. Weimer to nolle prosse the charges against them. Eighteen other alleged klansmen and 13 residents of Lilly will stand trial on murder and manslaughter indictments.
 Indictments Pend
 The thirteen men who were released tonight were those who yesterday on instructions of the court were acquitted on charges of riot and of affray and unlawful assembly. Against the eleven alleged klansmen who left the jail to- night an indictment of carrying con- cealed weapons still bends.
 When court convened this morning, Samuel Evans, of South Fork, an al- legged member of the klan. was placed ntrial on a murder charge, Judge Finletter having granted a motion of the defense for separate trials. Evans pleaded not guilty and speedy progress was made in filling the jury box.
 Four Witnesses Heard.
 Before the court had adjourned four witnesses, all of whom had testified earlier in the week at the trial of the entire fOrty-fopr men on charges of riot, were heard, and they merely re- stated the evidence they had given when previously called to the stand Richard Felker and 14-year-old Fran cis Appalucci, of killy, told of Frank Miasco, who held the nozzle of the fire hose that was turned on the pa. rading klansmen at the beginning of the riot, being struck down and shot by a rObed klansman, but they were unable to identify him. Horace Chap. pell and Harry Chappell testified that the trouble was started by residents of Lilly.

men all over the country. He comes of family which is heavily interested in widely ramiied oil and public util- .ity interests. -l
 Coupled with this close identity with big business, Dawes has a sense of public responsibility which has been shown strikingly in his budget reform work at Washington and subsequently, in his German reparations plan. All of this gives him a tremendous appeal to the conservative forces. But Cool idge himself has this vott well tied up and needs someone who can appeal to other clements, such as lab and the farmers. That is why William NJ. But Ter moved all the forces at his com mand in the last hours of the wild convention to block Dawes. Dawes will be most helpful in relation to the soldier vote.
 G. o. P. Hostility Dies
 But 1t is all over now and the un. 6ercurrent of irritation, resentment, and even hostility which was evident against Butler during the closing days of the convention seems to have been dissipated. All party leaders realize now that they must work together if they expect to get anywhere.
 This feeling was much in evidence at the meeting of the republican na- tionai committee Friday when Butler was unanimously chosen chairman of the committee for the coming four

BY RAYMOND CHAPTER By Leased Wira to ARe.H e.Herald. ]

CLEVELAND, O., June 13.--This campaign is going to be played in q political triangle with Coolidge and Dawes holding the republican corner as conservatives. LaEollette will hold q second. corner as a progressive, and the democrats will take the third cor ner and operate under program to be determined upon at the New York convention few days hence.
 Until the, democrats finish their con vention, it will be impossible to fore cast very definitely the lines of the approaching campaign. It remains to be seen whether they will select a con servative like John ". Davis, in the hope of carrying the east. and set him on q quasi-progressive program in the hope of appealing to the west; or whether they will go before the coun- try as thoroughly progressive pasty both as to candidates and as to prin- ,ciples.
 Sharply Conservative.
 In the meantime, the republican role has been given sharply conservative character. Futile attempts to give the ticket hybrid cast were made in the pressure to put first Borah and then Kenyon over as the presidents run ming mate. Dawes is a banker, an op. ponent of union labor's closed shop policy, and representative of the great and powerful group of solid business
