mitted report on the matter.
Police Commissioner James r.
Oyster has received no report on
the affair and would make no com.
ment until the facts are placed In

While the investigation has been

until specific charges have been
filed by Davis with the police trial
board.
Davis, who is represented by At
torneys p. ]. Ryan and George C..
Page, claims that he was arrested
Friday night at his home and taken
to the Seventh precinct. where he
was locked UP in cell.
He claims that he was later
ordered out OF the cell and bag
was thrown over his head, after
which he was savagely beaten.
Policeman Kicked in Face.
During the scuffle, he says, the
bag was torn and he recognized the
policemen as his assailants before
he lost consciousness.
After his beating, he said. he was
taken to Georgetown University
Hospital and later to Gallinger Hos.
pital for treatment. and was under
medical care until Monday.
Policeman Mussleman, who was
severely beaten about the head and
face, has not yet returned to duty.

The youngster who won the

After the two long foregoing
paragraphs the reader comes to the
realization that what thig writer is

Freddie Boorde of Atlanta.
These technical knockouts should
be driven out of the sporting world.

worst pastings in his life. Boorde

White to finishe the job.
Many of the early rounds were
virtually draws although White
surprised the assemblage by putting
Boorde on the end of his glove and

The knockout White secured last
night in his sixth straight. He has
never been knocked off his feet and

WASHING }ii iiiiii
LETT Era
BY HARRY B. HUNT
NEA Service Writer

WASHINGTON, June 18.-How
will the Democratic convention re-
act to eloquence?
That is the question friends of
two of the dark horse possibilities
are asking. For on the oratory of
one and the same speaker depend
to a very great extent the fortunes
in the convention Of the two presi-
Dental entries from the Buckeye
state.
James M. Cox, Democratic
nominee in 1920, will have behind
him a delegation from Ohio instrucr
ed to fight for his nomination for a
second chance at the presidency.
None of these delegates believes
Cox stands any reasonable chance
of nomination.
Lightning they opine, "does
not strike twice in the same place. y
When reminded of Bryan and his
three nominations, they switch
their metaphor and say that bryan
is the only Democratic cat with
nine lives"
And yet, behind this skepticism,
there flickersaa faint hope that the
unexpected may happen. This hope
is kindled by the belief that the
speech putting Cox in nomination
will be the most eloquent and ap
pealing utterance to be male at The
convention.
Cox will be placed in nomination
by his fellow-0 hioan. Newton D.
Baker, former secretary of war.
Baker is a small man physically,
but mighty orator, He, more than
any other Democrat of today, has
the gift of tongues"
Compelling, forceful, appealing
there is a persuasive quality alike
to his argument and his logic that
moves his hearers.
On this speech, more than on an,
other factor, rests Cox's chance.
for a comeback" But even Cox,
most loyal friends admit that it is .
long shot. Frankly. they doubt tina
it can be done.
A much more likely result, in til,
opinion of wise political minds. i
that the reaction to the Bake.

speech may project him before the
convention as a presidential figure
himself, and that Baker instead of
Cox will prove to be Ohio's real
figure in the contest.
The most rapidly initiating boom
of the immediate pre-eonvention
days, however, is that for Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia. Glass
combines certain elements of
strength, politically, that put hun
well up in the list of likely Com
promise" candidates.
AS member of the Wilson
cabinet and champion of Wilson
policies he would holl the favor Of
. large part of the former presi-
dents followers in the convention.
He would be acceptable to the
moderately progressive or mildly
conservative groups in the party.
On the other hand, Glass would
be wholly acceptable to "big bust
ness" and "the interests"
This would be due not so much,
perhaps, to the belief that he would
lean unduly in their direction, but
to the fact that they already know
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1924-06-18

pqo loubt as to his attitude on the
majority of questions that might
arise.
AS chairman Of the House com
mNtee that wrote the federal re-
serve act, and as secretary OF
treasury, they have had ample or
portunity to dissect, analyze and
classify him. And he is down in
their books as satisfactory"
AS "safe and sane candidate,
one that would not rock the boat or
upset any applicants, the conserva-
tives are carefully refraining from
throwing any rocks at Glass.

A Gripping Romance

Thomas Potter. an unlettered far-
mer. living in the virgin wilderness
ON the coast OF New Jersey. In Col
onial times. had built church In
the forest. He had reasoned that
there : was a better faith than the
one In which he had been reared.
He hoped that God was a good kind
Father, who lived all his children
and would have them all at last.
His study of the Bible led him to
this great hope. So he had built
church in the hope that some trav-
cling preacher might come and
preach the same doctrine and so
strengthen his new found hope. And
when his neighbors seemingly said to
him, where will you ind your
preacher?" Potter replied feod VIII
send him, to me In His own gooo
time"
And then one day q ship was be-
calmed In the inlet. at the head OF
which Potter's farm was situated
md 4 man came ashore to buy food.
Instantly on seeing him Potter says
something said within In. here

came was John Murray an English
Wesleyan minister who had become
. UniversAlist. After much impor-
tuning Murray preached In the lit

thus began the Universalist church
