DEFENDS WAYNE WHEELER
:. S. Mcbride, of Anti-Saloon
League, Resents Willebrandt
Criticism.

Cleveland, Aug. 1S.-References
general counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, by Mabel Walker Willie
brandt, former Assistant Attorney
General in charge of prohibition en-
forcement, in a recent newspaper
article were denounced today by F.
Scott Mcbride, general superintend-
ent Of the Anti-Saloon League.
"It seems" Mr.. Mcbride said in
an address at the Euclid Avenue
Baptist Church, "to have become a
popular indoor sport by a few drys
who axe selling articles to the news
papers, wet and dry, and as well to
wet magazines, to pan Wayne B.
Wheeler, who carried the burden of
the battle in the heat of the contest,
and who, having passed on to his re-
ward, cannot speak in reply.
''The most recent of these is Mabel
Walker Willebrandt. If she lives
long enough to contribute one-tenth
of the time and render a tithe of
the service which Wayne B. Wheeler
gave to this cause during his thirty
five years of active, conscientious
and loyal service she will be cured
of her disposition to criticize the
motives, purposes and services of
Mr.. Wheeler. Without his work the
name of Mabel Walker Willebrandt
would be unknown"
In the article in question, Mrs.
Willebrandt said she believed that
Mr.. Wheeler guided the Anti-Saloon
League "into dangerous shoals by
too much political activity"

WHISKEY DISAPPEARED

A colored youngster on last Sunday
evening reported an amusing incident,
which took place that day at Flower
Hill Baptist Church. Three prohibi-
tion officers parked their car over
from the church. Finally they located
three men, who had been selling liquor
from about two cases down in the
woods, one case having been sold at
25 cents per drink.
The officers disappeared in pursuit
of the three men who were making
record time. They failed to catch
them and when they returned were
crestfallen to find that all of the whis-
key had disappeared while they were
engaged in the chase. No arrests
were made.

TEN YEARS FOR MAN
HELD FOR ATTACK
Negro Convicted After Two State
Witnesses Admit False
Testimony
(By Associated Press)

(By Associated freSS
Centreville, Tenn, Aug. 15.-A
Negro against whom two witnesses
admitted in open court that they had
testified falsely, today was under a
ten-year sentence on conviction by a
jury of attacking white woman.
Talley Wright, the Negro, was
found guilty by jury last night,
after a trial held with 100 national
guardsmen patroling the courthouse
and contiguous grounds to maintain
order and prevent any attempt at
violence.
Feeling against the Negro abated
yesterday when Robert Brown and
Conner Bates, attorneys assisting the
State in prosecuting the Negro, with
drew from the case and announced
they believed him innocent. because
they had learned that Mrs. Fora
Lynn, 55-year-old widow and COM
planning witness, and her two grand
daughters, had testified falsely.
Mrs. Lynn had charged the Negro
with attacking her in her home near
here last June, and said that Wright
held her granddaughters at bay with
a pistol during that time.
Her statements wene corroborated
by Mrs. Stella Gordon and Miss Hat
tie Plunkett, the granddaughters, who
yesterday admitted that they were
not present. Mrs. Lynn also admit
ted that they were absent from home
at the time she charged the Negro
with attacking her.
The county attorney, after a con-
ference with the three women and
assistant prosecutors, announced that
he would not dismiss the case, but
would leave it "for the jury to de-
eide"
Judge ]. C. Hobbs, presiding, also
declined to dismiss the case, but in
instructing the jury said he would
not consider a verdict that carried
the death penalty.
The jury after celebrating less
than half an hour returned a verdict
of guilty and fixed punishment at 10
years.
Attorneys for Wright announced
that motion for new trial would
be made.

skirmishes in the two-year period
since the last convention between
Supreme Chancellor Green and Grand
Chancellor Willis, of Texas. Charges
and countercharges were made, but
the controversy was not settled and
representatives to the supreme ses-
sions had looked forward to another
conflict this year such as they wit
messed in Chicago. But one week be-
fore this convention Willis, of Texas,
died and at last Sundays memorial
services the order prayed for him.
Jackson Leads Fight
However, it was not felt that the
death of Willis was going to relieve
the tension inSrexas.
From out the secret sessions of the
supreme lodge there have leaked re-
ports OF a titanic struggle being
waged between the present admin
istration and its foes. No sooner had
the convention been called to order,
it is said, than A. S. Jackson, chair
man of the Board of Directors, of
Texas, and secretary of the board of
education for the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, began sorties upon the
chair as a sort of test of strength.
Texas is said to have taken central
spot within the supreme lodge hall
from which its representatives de-
ployed among it's friends and the
other delegates to test the spirit of
the things.
BY the afternoon of the first day,
it was freely predicted that some
thing was going to break loose. Green
had held his own at the morning ses-
sion. Jackson, seeking TO carve his
way through with sharp-edged words,
found these words muffled in the
blanket of the supreme chancellor's
superb pCise and knowledge of the
law Green is said to have been
cheered repeatedly as ne repulsed at
tack after e.tack.
Simmons Against Green
Then came the afternoon. The Op-
position, so it is reported, seems to
have conferred and decided that Il
was time 70 switch the burden of at
tack to other shoulders than Jack
sons. Choice seems TO have fallen
TO Supreme Lecturer Roscoe Conklin
Simmons. The opportunity for the
use Of Simmons high words and
learning came early in the afternoon
when it became apparent that the
delegates from North Carolina were
going to be denied the suffrage of the
supreme lodge because Of the wanton
failule of the grand lodge of North
Carolina to pay its supreme lodge
taxes. The supreme chancellor had
announced his unwillingness to admit
North Carolina, stating that there
were no extenuating circumstances
and that the supreme lodge could not
exist if it did not compel the sub
ordinate lodges to perform in accord
ance with the law.

Ruled With Iron Rod

Those who heard the supreme lee
turer say that he did not mean to
force an issue, that he merely meant
to taunt Green with that threat. But
the little man was in no mood to be
taunted. He brought order out of
pandemonium as representative after
representative sought the opportunity
to speak. All were forced back into
their seats. And when pin-quiet had
been restored the words of the
supreme lecturer were thrown back
into his teeth. The supreme chan
cellor is reported to have accepted
the challenge. He set the stage him
self for Simmons appeal. But the
great orator was not ready. Under
Green's disdain, he wilted. In a
sharp colloquy between himself and
the chair the blight was placed upon
him.
81 had not meant to appeal" he
asserted. "Such a thought must have
been born in the supreme chancellors
suspicious heart"
mo, it was not" the supreme
chancellor is reported to have re-
torted, "it came out of your sus-
picious words"
The digniied representatives
cheered AMI back into the laps of the
opposition went the supreme lecturer,
whipped and silenced.
The effec3 of that bitter encounter
was to revea! the strength of the ad
ministration and the weakness of its
foes and thus release the administra-
tion for attention to the real work of
the lodge.

Bitter Attacks

The supreme representatives to the
supreme lodge went TO work with the
air charged with conjecture as to
what the program and the activity
would be. The last Pythian conven-
ton, held in Chicago, had been en-
hvened by the determined effort
which Texas had made to take the
convention to that state and the at
tacks made by Texas upon S. W.
Green, present supreme chancellor,
in behalf of w. S. Willis, the Texas
giant. There had been a number of

Arkansas, but for other delinquent
states. He followed n. j. Fredericks,
of South Carolina, who had pleaded
for that commonwealth. With meas
ured words and cadences the supreme
lecturer wove a spell over the dele
gates. He was seeking to make the
supreme chancellor alter his decision.
But when Simmons had finished, it
is said, the supreme chancellor simply
announced that the decision had been
made in accordance with the law and
that it would stand. Simmons was
simply baffled, it is reported. In the
midst of the excitement which was
breaking out in spots, he arose and
stated for the delegates to hear that
the decision of the presiding officer
might be appealed from.

a program of future Pythian en-
deavor which shall cause this great
convention to be remembered through
the long years as the historic "cross-
soads" period in the history of the
order when its leaders girded them
selves for an effort which meant that
they must cease TO rest upon the
laurels earned in a half century OF
activity and strike out upon a new
road that would throw the strength
of this great fraternal order into
paths of greater racial usefulness,
The activities of the convention
began Sunday when the annual ser
mon was preached by Bishop r. E.
Jones, of New Orleans, at Simpson
Methodist Episcopal Church.

is caused by wearing hats which are
too tight. If possible, comb the hair

half an hour or more each day. When
the sun is not too strong, as it is on
the hottest days, the hair should be ex-
posed to its rays for a sun bath.
Hair which is lacking in natural oil
should not be shampooed oftener than
is necessary for cleanliness. Once
every two or three weeks is usually
sufficient when the hair Is brushed
thoroughly and the scalp nassaged
faithfully every day. A monthly hot
oil treatment is also desirable for this
type of hair and a semi-weekly mas
