ROAD GANG HEAD
! CITES LACK Of
" AUTHORITY
Defends Captain Courson's
Character, However; Brands
Victim "Bad Actor"
By W. X. HUTCHINSON

TALLAHASSEE, Fla July
19 G.N.S. Capt. George w.
Courson, now under indict-
ment at Jacksonville for the
alleged torture murder" of
Arthur Maillefert, young New
Jersey convict, was illegally
in command of Sunbeam
Prison Camp at the time the
boy was strangled in a sweat
box, International News Serv-
ice learned today.
State records disclosed Courson
was never commissioned as a
camp captain nor even as a
prison guard. The law OF Flor
ida provides that only a commits
stoned officer or guard may act
In a post of command at a
prison camp.
Official Cites Law
The illegal status of Courson
when he whipped young Maille-
1ert and imposed the punishment
that resulted in his death was
confirmed by Capt. B. H. Dickins,
superintendent of State road
prisons. He admitted Courson
had no legal right to take COM
mand of the camp and held no
official position when he in
flicted the torture chamber"
punishment on Maillefert. Dick
ans said:
"COurSOn was relieving Capt.
John E. Baker temporarily. He
didn't hold q commission either
rs a captain or as guard.
"He was employed tempOrar-
fly as captain of the Sunbeam
Camp by nj. p. Phillips, divi-
sion engineer of the State road
department, who didn't know
, the law. Phillips didn't even
know that COursOn had no
commission"
This revelation placed CourSon
In a peculiar position.
Authority of Bystander
He had no more legal author
aty to order Maillefert to work or
to punish him even in the form
prescribed by State law than an
ordinary byctander. Authorities
were agreed the legal status of
Courson would play an important
part in his trial on a first degree
murder charge for the alleged
Staying of Maillefert.
While Dickins was frank to
disclose the fact that Courson
had no right even 10 enter the
camp, let alone command it, the
prison superintendent condemned
Msillefert. He said the New Jer-
Sey youth was a "bad actor and
one of the worst prisoners we
ever had" He added:
"Maillefert came from a Sec
ton where the Lindbergh baby
was kidnapped and murdered.
! He was a burglar and he defied
the law. He attempted suicide
twice and tried to escape three
times. He simply would not sub
init to the law"

elections regardless of how the

The plot, the Herald said, calls
for the abolition of the Re-

parliamentary system, and the
setting up as the head of the
German government the former
Crown Prince, Friedrich Wilhelm.
Hitler himself will remain simply
as the leader of his Nazis, the

If Hitler should win the cleo

the plan will be carried out
peacefully, the Herald said.

ROOSEVELT'S DEBT .
! PROJECT ASSA|LED.
Moses Says U. S. .'ouId Pay
Out of Own Pockets-Gar-
ner to Return Soon.

Declaring Gov. Roosevelt's solution OF
the foreign debt problem means the
American people. in effect, would have
to pay the debts "out oil their own
pockets" Senator Moses, Republican,
of New Hampshire. yesterday said the
proposal would displace s3,ooo,ooo,Ooo
worth of American goods.
The new Republican thrust at re-
cent utterances of Gov. Roosevelt
shared political interest with word
that Speaker Garner will return to the
CAPITAL within two weeks to prepare
for an extensive speaking tour as
Democratic candidate for Vice PreSl-
dent.
Moses. in his statement. said GOV
Roosevelt proposes to reduce our tarlHS
and throw the American market open
to the debtor nations to an extene @
sufficient to permit them TO make a
large enough profit to pay us approx
mately $500 ,OO0 600 a year.
TT seems clear to me that the gov
ernor has definitely in mind doing Just
what he says-permitting eLough for-
eiQn goods from the debtor countries to
be sold in this country to furnish the
profits from which the debts could be
paid.
Let us assume, for the sake of
argument, that the profits Of foreign
manufacturers are 10 per cent. And
let us assume further, for the sake of
argument, that the debtor nations do
what they obviously can't do-take ali
of the 10 per cent or 100 per cent OF
the profits in taxes in order to pay the
United States Government.
Even under these assumptions, the
debtor countries would have to sell
$4,000, 100000 worth of additional goods
in the American market, or an increase
of rs per cent of our total imports in
the year 1923, and displace S3,0OO,-
600 900 worth of American goods.
THE American people will never
consider disrupting our agriculture and
our industries, with all that it means
in the way of unemployment and dis
organization, in order, in effect, to pay
the debts out of their own pockets"

What chance have 5000 600 farmers

equally unorganized SO far as national
distribution is concerned, to bargain on
equal terms with these giants of pri-
vate distribution? No wonder Congress
prescribed marketing system pro-
ducer- r-owned and producer controlled" !"
Williams said the present cotton
holdings of the Farm Board aggregated
100000 bales. In the coming fiscal
year, he said, the board, in addition
to selling $4,000 bales. would. as al
ready provided by congressional action,
give 100000 bales to the Red Cross.
Williams appealed to the members
of the co-operativeS attending the
meeting for understanding OF the Farm
Boards problems. One of the boards
greatest difficulties. he said, was to OBJ
tain public understanding Of what it
had tried to do and why 1t did the
things it had done.
The Farm Board. he explained. had
been accused of attempting to dominate
co-operatives. He said the Farm Board
had not at any time tried to dominate
the activities of any cooperative any
where except when 1t was necessary to
protect Federal money which had been
loaned.
There had been cases, Williams said.
in which co-operatives had borrowed
money with apparently no intention of
paying it back.
