MRS. CALHOUN SUES
TO GET $1,000 NOTE
Files Equity Bill to Enioin
Men From Collecting on
Alleged Cancelled Paper.

Seeking to enjoin two men from pro-
ceeding with a civil suit on $4,000
note signed by her in Montgomery
County, Md, Mrs. Daisy B. Calhoun,
wife of Capt. c. C. Calhoun, of Chevy
Chase, Md, today filed in the District
Supreme Court bill in equity to secure
the return of the note on which she
says she got nothing. George A. Corn
ley, 4349 River road. and Joseph T..
Harris. 1918 Third street southwest, are
named defendants.
Mrs. Calhoun maintains that in July.
1928, Gormley called at her home to
arrange $4,000 loan which she needed,
and that he suggested that she pre-Qate
the note by about 80 days to make 1t
more easy to discount. This she did,
she says.
Note Not Indorsed.
Advised by Gormley that 1t was neces-
sary to obtain her husbands indorse-
ment on the note, Mrs. Calhoun tells
the court that she called her husband.
but he declined to sign and informed
her that other arrangements could be
made to obtain the money. During the
telephone conversation, she says. Corn
ley pocketed the note and this she did
not discover until his departure. Later
he promised to return the note, but
failed, she says.
Mrs. Calhoun insists that Gormley
turned the note over to Harris with the
understanding that when collection was
made Harris would deduct 81 400
Gormley is described as owing, and the
balance was then to be paid to Corn
ley. She says that when informed by
a washington bank that it had the note
for collection she communicated with
the bank and with Harris. Despite this,
she maintains, the Maryland suit was
instituted TO enforce collection.
Not Note Holder.
Maintaining that Harris is not hold
err of the note in due force, Mrs. CAL
houn asserts that he paid nothing for
it, the note being given in payment of
a prior obligation. Likewise, she holds
that Gormley is similarly situated, pay
ing nothing for the note.
The District Supreme Court Is asked to
compel return of the note TO Mrs Cal
houn and restrain further action in the
Maryland case.
Court records in Rockville show that
Harris filed suit in the Montgomery
County Circuit Court against Gormley
and Mrs. Calhoun, May 2, and that the
case is docketed for the November
term.
Mrs Calhoun is represented by At
torney w. Gwynn Gardner.

Make "DiIigent Search"
for Band Members.
SPECIAL COUNSELLOR
NOW IN KINGS MOUNTAIN

By the Associated Press.
KINGS MOUNTAIN, N. c., Septem-
ber 19.-Four separate investigations Of
the f1ogging of Cleo Tesenair of Balti-
more, organizer for the National Textile
Workers Union, and dynamiting of a
platform used by union speakers, latest
of many acts of violence accompanying
strikes In North Carolina textile centers,
were in progress today.
The flogging was the second within
10 days. three union members having
been kidnapped and one of them lashed
by mob early last week.
Gov. o. Max Gardner sent his execu-
tive councillor, N. A. Townsend, here to
make an inquiry and also requested l..
S. Squirting solicitor of the district, to
make "a diligent search and prosecu-
ton" in the flogging and dynamiting
here. Sheriff Irwin M. Allen of Cleve-
land County launched an investigation
yesterday.
Sheriff J. F. Wright of Gaffney. S. c.,
also began an investigation upon evi-
dence that Tesenair was carried across
the State line into South Carolina be-
fore the actual tiogging. Oficers ad-
mitted there were no definite clues to
the identity Of Tesenairs assailants.
Brief Description.
The union organizer could give but a
brief description of the three men who,
he said, took him from his home in the
Bonnie Mill village shortly after mid
night, carried him across the State line
and flogged him.
Cleveland County officers expressed
belief that the destruction of the union
speaking stand was not the work Of the
same men who kidnapped Tesenair. 1t
was destroyed by an explosion, which
shook Kings Mountain about 20 minutes
after the time Tesenair said he was
taken from his home, and officers said
there was no evidence time fuse had
been set.
The platform was on a lot rented by
the union and used as meeting place.

THE writer has been instructed to
advise you, that we have no plans at
this time where the power at Muscle
Shoals could be utilized and that it
would be beyond the question for Mr..
Ford to again make an offer.
"He also suggested that in his opin-
ion other interests are in better posi-

1t might be more practical to solicit
an offer from them"

BRITISH ARMY CUT
PLAN ST|RS FRANCE
Sharp Debate Flares at Ge.
neva Over Issue of
Trained Reserves.
BY the Associated Press.

GENEVA. September 19.-Sharp con-
| hict Of opinion flared up in the League
of Nations disarmament committee to-
day when the British delegation moved
to reopen the question of considering
trained army reserves in seeking the
basis for general disarmament.
Lord Cecil presented the British pro-
posals and was supported by the Ger
man delegation, but encountered quick
opposition from the delegations of
France, Italy and Japan.
Lord Cecil described the question of
disarmament as the corner stone Of the
edifice of world peace, and insisted
that limitation of land forces, both per-
sonnel and material, especially ma
terial, was the most important part OF
the disarmament problems.
French Resist Move.
Rene Massigli, French delegate, de-
Tended the position that the question
of trained land reserves had been def
nitely set aside at the last Spring meet
ing of the preparatory commission, and
pleaded that it was unwise to discuss
the subject of military forces while the
Anglo American naval discussions were
proceeding.
France, said Massigli, regarded it
rather unfair OF Great Britain to re-
open the trained reserves question after
the declaration by Lord Cushendan at
the Spring meeting, agreeing with Hugh
S. Gibson, the American member. that
this must be left for settlement by the
continental powers.
British May Be Beaten.
The youthful French spokesman de-
plored that change of government in
Great Britain should result in change
of policy and suggested that at some
time in the future there might be an
other change of government in Great
Tritain and another British delegation
might be found to carry different sug-
gestions.
The debate was adjourned this after
noon until tomorrow without vote be-
ing reached. 1t was understood that
Lord Cecil and his colleagues hoped
only to make Great Britain's change OF
attitude clear and to leave her hands
free to press consideration of the linn
itation of military forces and stores.
The ultimate defeat in the committee of
the British resolution is generally fore
cast.
Text of Resolution.
The resolution reads:
THE Assembly. being convinced that
a progressive and general reduction of
armaments is urgently needed through
out the world. expresses its hope that
the preparatory commission will finish
its labors at the earliest possible mo-
ment and considers that in completing
draft disarmament convention 1t
should consider how far the following
principles have been or ought to be
adopted:
"(a) Application of the same princi-
pie to reduction of limitation of per-
scnnel and material, whether of land
sea or air forces
"Ob) Limitation of strength of force
whether by limiting its numbers, or
period Of training, or both.
''tc) Limitation of material either di-
rectly by enumeration, or indirectly by
buogetary limitation, or both methods

A shortage of nearly 800 flying off,
GERS in the Army Air Corps, under the
five-year expansion program, has caused
the War Department to issue regula-
tions requiring graduates Of the Ad-
vanced Flying school at Kelly Field,
Tex, to remain in service two years.
This drastic departure from the pre-
vious practice of permitting graduates
either to continue in the military serv-
ice or enter the commercial field was
considered necessary to assure compile

1850 Regular and $50 Reserve officers
