Fitzgerald leader enterprise and press. (Fitzgerald, Ben Hill County, Ga.) 1921-1964, 1925-08-20

Dear Miss Flo At public dances,
when there is a grand march, is it
correct for the lady to take the gen.
tleman's ARM when crossing dance
floor, should the gentleman offer the
lady his arm? F. r.
The lady takes the gentleman's
arm in a grand march. Occasionally,
we see an older gentleman offer his
arm, because customs of lifetime
are not broken down easily by mod
ern etiquette. Those of today, how
ever, walk side by side.
DeDar Miss Flo:-Is the use of
sealing wax on letters considered
good form? (2) If sealin wax is used,
are the bright colors correct? 80 Is
every sincerely yours" considered a
proper closing for a formal note?
Thank you. r. w.
Sealing wax should not be used
unless you are an adept at making an
even smoothly finished seal. A plain
colored wax is better form than the
metal speckled wax (2) The gayly
colored wax is always particularly al
Turing to young folks, and if it can
be made to pour smoothly, it is quite
permissible. (3) Yes.

and its vast stores of crude oil as the
prize, the government opened battle in
Federal court here to reclaim to the
government the lease which was grant
ed by Albert B. Fall, former secretary

company.
Atlee Pomerene, associated with

in statement before Judge T. Blake
Kennedy, reviewing the transactions
between Harry F. Sinclair, president
of the Mammoth company; Edwin
DENLY, former secretary of the navy !;
Mr.. Fall, and others, which led to
granting of the lease.
The legality of the Presidential or
der issued in May, 1921, transferring
the naval reserve from the Navy de-
partment to the Department of the
Interior, is expected to be attacked
by the government counsel. They will
attempt to prove charges of fraud in
execution of the lease.
A fourth name was added to the list
of unavailable government witnesses
when Mr.. Roberts announced that dep
uty United States marshals had been
unable to locate Robert W. Stewart,
chairman of the board of directors of
the Standard Oil company of Indiana.
The other three are H. M. Blackmer
and J. E. O'Neil, oil men believed to
be in Europe, and III. S. Osler of Can
ada The government had hoped to
develop through Osler's testimony its
contention that certain Liberty bonds
passed from Mr.. Sinclair to Mr.. Fall.
according to Mr.. Roberts.

MONARCHIST MAY
SEEK EBERT'S POST

Berlin.-What is regarded by some
deprive former Chancellor Marx of the
Centrist Presidential nomination and
instead give it to Adam Stegerwald,
former Prussian premier and leader of
the right wing in the party, developed
at the meeting of the executive COM
mittee Of the Centrist delegations in
the reichstag and Prussian diet, sum-
mOned to recommend a candidate.
The meeting was marked by severe
clashes between the spokesman for
the right and left wings of the party,
and finally adjourned without coming
to any decision, which was left to the
national committee of the party at its
coming meeting. The movement in
favor Of Stegerwald, who is regarded
as a mOnarchist and reactiOnary, it
was learned, is being engineered by the
powerful Junkers and Agrarians. who
are said to be bringing strong pressure
on the Centrist leaders to drop Marx
on the promise that in the event OF
the probable defeat of the joint con-
sentative candidate at the first Presi-
Dental election on March 20, all the
right parties will throw their support
to Stegerwald, thus assuring his vic
tory.
Stegerwald's nomination would put
an end to all hopes of an eventual
combination of the Centrists. Social
lists and Democrats on q candidate
who might be regarded as acceptable
to all the Republican elements. The
Stegerwald movement is therefore a
dangerous development so far rs re-
publican interests are concerned. In
circles close to former Chancellor
Wirth and other left wing leaders in
the Centrist ranks, however, 1t was de-
clared that while the movement must
be regarded seriously, there is hope Of
it's failure and the eventual nomina-
tion of Marx.

ously testified she was engaged to be
married.
Although obviously fatigued. Mrs.
Dennistoun did not flag in thrust and
parry with Sir Edward Marshall Hall,
counsel for Lieutenant Colonel Den
nistoun. She flared up very fiercely,
however, when questions concerning
her relations with other men or sug-
gestions that her Paris divorce from
Dennistoun had been obtained by col
fusion were made.
The plaintiff told of ". business trip"
to the island of Majorca with a Major
Woevodsky and of accepting invita-
tions to bull fights at Cardova and San
Sebastian. Spain. from another friend,
"a very rich and celebrated amateur
matador." named Camera.

that her husband lived his own life in

even and spotty. Common and me-
dunn grades scored the most gain, adj
vancing % to 40 cents.
Upturns on stockers and feeders

medium-grade fat kinds The stock
trade continued lively, prices advanc-
ing % cents or more on fat cows and
% to 40 cents on heifers The latter
sold like hot cakes Last weeks de-
cline in bulls was regained and addi-
tional upturns scored. Shipping de-
mand for veal calves abated, but light
kinds held fully steady at $11.5O to
$500, according to weight and con-
dition.
Weighty matured steers topped at
$11.50, few passing SLIPS. The fact
that there was general scramble for
steers of value to sell below $3.50
while slownesS marked the outlet of
kinds carrying weight and eligible to

feature.
The feature of the local hog market

DAWES TOO LATE
To SAVE WARREN
Reaches Senate After Vote
Is Taken Against
Confirmation.

WashingtOn.-Lack Of just one vote
which could have been supplied by
Vice President Dawes had he been
present, resulted in the rejection by
the senate of Charles Beecher Warren
for attorney general.
With roll cali allowing 40 for con-
drmation and 40 against. President
Pro TempOre George H. Moses fought
vainly against stentorian demands
from the Democrats that the vote be
announced, while messengers searched
rantically fDr Vice President Dawes,
VINO was known to be in the Cal ltol
building.
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania hur-
riedly changed his vote from aye to
no as 1t was realized that a tie vote
ander the senate rules means reJec-
lion. Tbs made the vote Il for rejec-
lion to 80 for confirmation, but it en-
abled Senator Reed to move that the
vote be 1ecorsidered. This attempt to
gain time JAILED also, however, for
Senator Walsh moved to table this
motion.
WV TlhSE DiIIST Fl9UIs
At this point Senator Overman of
North Carolina, the only Democrat
who had vottC for confirmation, moved
back to his party alignment and voted
TO lay on the table.
Nine Republicans and one Farmer
Labor member, Senator Shipstead,
Joined all of the Democrats present
but one, Senator Overman, in voting
Mr.. Warren down. These were Borah
of Idaho, Brookhart of Iowa, Couzens
of Michigan, Frazier and Laid of
North Dakota, McMasters and Nor
beck of South Dakota, Johnson of Cal
hornia and Norris of Nebraska. The
vote came at the end of debate in
which attacks were made on the Mich
lgan man for his connection with the
sugar trust and particularly with the
late II. o. Havemeyer.
Senate Refusal Is Rare.
Old timers asserted that this Is the
first time President has been refused
senatorial approval of his own choice
for his official family for nearly sixty
years. The last occasion, they said,
was when President Andrew Johnson,
not long after the assassination of
President Lincoln, sent to the senate
the name of Henry Stanbery of Ohio
for attorney general. Prior to that
there had been several cases. histor-
ical students said President Taylor
had suffered three reflections of can
didates for his cabinet and that Presi-
dent Andrew Jackson had one selec-
ton rejected by the celate.
Dawes Arrives Too Late.
Decision on the confirmation was
reached after FIVE o'clock, following a
hong and vitriolic debate and bitter at
tack on Mr.. Warren because of his re-
lations to the so-called trust. Sena-
tors Walsh of Montana, and Reed of
Missouri led in these attacks.
The close Of the struggle and the
voting was dramatic in the extreme,
with excitement intense.
In explanation of the absence of
Vice President Dawes, 1t was said he
had been told by the leaders on both
sides there would me no vote in the
afternoon. He came into the chamber
from his office Just after the tabling
of the motion TO reconsider had been
announced and took the chair, but 1t
was too late.
