HENRY H. HORTON,
FORMER TENNESSEE
GOVERNOR, DEAD
ONLY CHIEF EXECUTIVE OF
STATE TO FACE IMPEACH-
MENT CHARGES; WAS So
YEARS OLD

tBy Associated Pressl
CHAPEL HILL, Tenn, July B..
AT the peaceful country home
where he found rest after his tur-
bulent years in Tennessee politics,
former Governor Henry II. Hor-
ton died yesterday in his sixty
ninth year.
The only chief executive of the
state ever to be the target for inn
parchment proceedings. Horton
weathered the storm in the spring
and summer of 1882.
As speaker of the state senate,
Horton succeeded to the governor
ship October 3, 1927, upon the
death of Austin Peay; was elected
in 1923 and reelected in 1880.
His term expired January II,
1888. and he left Nashville i'm
mediately to spend the rest of his
days in the quietude of his farm.
1t was shortly after his re-elec-
ton in 1880 that the then COVER
nor found himself in the center
of storm. Four banks with
large state deposits failed and al
most $7,O0O.0OO of public funds
were tied up. Two of Governor
Horizons political allies, Luke Lea
and Rogers Caldwell, were inter
ested in these banks.
A movement for Legislative in
.vestigatiOn of state affairs swept
the state and in it Governor Hor-
ton joined.
A few days after the investiga-
tion ended eight articles of i'm
parchment were presented in the
house of representatives. The
principal charge was that the gov
ernor had conspired to let Lea and
Caldwell dominate certain depart
ments of government for their
financial gain, he to receive in re-
turn their support.
After bitter debate the house
voted, SO to 41, against impeach-
ing the governor and arraigning
him before the senate.
Governor Horton was born at
Princeton, Jackson county. Ala
bama,s February II, 1866. He
taught school and practiced law
before moving to his farm, from
which he was called to the COVER
nor's chair.
Beside the widow, the former
governor leaves one son. John
Wilhoite Horton.

West cooperate in making this
Fourth of July a memorable one.
I request, as far as practicable,

given at least a partial vacation

club. Make this holiday in spirit

of delegates to which each depart
ment is entitled to representation
at the national convention is bas-
ed upon membership thirty days
prior to the opening of the con-
vention, he pointed out, and add
ed:
"Many of the departments at
the present time are in the midst
of intensive membership efforts,
and from all indications, the ma
tional organization will experience
a healty increase in numbers"
Edward A. Hayes, national COM
mander, in letter to each of the
1908 post commanders, in re-
viewing the accomplishments
which he said have kept pace with
/ the membership record, pointed
out that the national quota for
this year is 100000, and that it
can be attained if the membership
effort is continued the next thir-
ty.. days. "Let your record and
mine show that the task of COM
! pleting the numerical strength of
the legion has been as successful
as every other part of our pro-

There was still another analogy

coupled with observations that the

fence and spar without getting

recalled as slow but interesting,
too.
Charles Doyle of the aquarium

ernOr Dave shoItz today addressed
a letter to all Florida mayors. in
which he pointed out the serious
ness of the situation now confront
irg the Florida Worlds Fair COM
mission, and asked for abe active
interest of the best citizens of the
state to raise $4,000 necessary
to insure that the doors of Flor
lila Hall remain open for the full
period of the fair.
IL take the liberty of designat-
ing you as chairman of this move
ment in your city," he said in a
personal letter to each Florida
mayor. Florida has captured
the attention of the entire world
through our Exposition in Flor
ida Hall at Chicago. 1t would be
one of the greatest mistakes ever
made to allow Florida's exhibit to
close on August First. Unless adj
ditional funds are raised at once
this is inevitable. In order to
maintain Florida's exhibit through
out the entire period of the fair,
it is necessary that al subscrip-
tions made by the county commits
sioners be turned into cash imme-
diately and that an additional
100000 be raised among Flor
idians- and saEiesis cities Of the
state.
Appreciates Interest
"Appreciating your deep con-
Germ in this maater, and realizing
that you may be depended upon to
periodically lead in any movement
affecting the welfare of this state,
l therefore take the liberty to
designate you as chairman of this
movement in your city.
Lorenzo A. Wilson, chairman
of the Florida Worlds Fair Com
mission. will Immediately send
you suggestions and plans and give
you every assistance in securing
your quota. which will be set on
a per capita basis. Mr.. Wilson
and a handful of other patriotic
citizens have done practically
everything so far accomplished for
the Florida exhibit. Our need is
man-power. We want you to re-
cruit the active interest of your
best citizens. not only to subscribe
but to work for the exhibit.

The recital was sponsored by the

Mr.. Shawn was, Of course, the
star of the evening, with Mr..
Mumaw the featured dancer of
the group. Every number was
excellently done. The group Of
men are serious, precise and tech
nically fine artistes. The high
light of the recital was Mr..
Shawn's own "John Brown Sees
the Glory" a superb portrayal of
dance biography, surely one OF
the great dance recreationS Of
our time. 20 Brother Sun and
Sister Moon," to music by Res
pighi, a study of st. Francis Of
Assist, and a comedy Shawn en-
core were distinctive dances, one
demonstrating religious thought,
the other broad versatility.
The program was long, varied,
always surprising, and included
Mr.. Mumaw'S striking "FetiSh"
on an African motif; the Hellenic
Dance Of the Treshing Floor" by
Mr.. Shawn; his earlier "Invoca-
ton to the Thunderbird";; four
men in Cutting the Sugarcane," :"
and a series of three interpreta.
