Tuesday during the regular hours OF
business. Those addressed to general
delivery will be subject to call on June
16. The rural delivery carriers will
deliver bonds on Tuesday.
Bonds addressed to veterans who
cannot be found at home tomorrow
night" Postmaster Burke explained,
will be returned to the post Office by
the carriers and second attempt will
be made to deliver them on the NOM
ing of June 16. Therefore, veterans
who have had their bonds addressed
to them at their places of employment
which will not be open on Monday
night, may expect receipt on the fol-
lowing day. Likewise, those veterans
who are employed at night and can
not secure leave of absence on Monday
night may expect delivery on the fol-
lowing day"
Delivered Only in Person.
If veteran finds that his working
hours and the delivery hours of the
postal service make it difficult for
him to get his envelope on the regular
delivery, the postmaster suggests that
he give notice of change of address,
and have it sent elsewhere, for in
stance to his place of business dur
ing Office hours The bonds can be
delivered, however, the postmaster
emphasized, only in person to the
veteran himself, and cannot be given
to any other person, even member
of the immediate family.
In addition to explaining final plans
for delivery, Postmaster Burke an
nounced also last night arrangements
for helping veterans turn their bonds
into cash.
Postmaster Burke has arranged to
send certifying officers to all the
Government departments and estab-
lishments, and to long list of busi-
ness houses. These officers will start
their duties Tuesday at designated
places They will be empowered to
certify bonds for payment, to receive
the bonds, issue receipts. and arrange
for delivery of check to the veteran
at any address he requests. This
group of certifying officers, Postmaster
Burke believes, will be able to take
care of by far the largest demand for
cash.
In addition he has planned to have
26 certifying units open during the
evenings of Tuesday, Wednesday, and
Thursday, and longer if necessary.
Most of these are postal substations,
but some are in other buildings, such
as Federal warehouse and a branch
library.
Open Only at Night.
Bonds will not be certified for
payment during the regular business
hours of the day at any post Office

FIGHT TO ESCAPE
CHAIN GANG FAILS
Sentence of Herndon, COL
ored Radical, Under Insur-
rection Law Upheld.
By the Associated Press.


ATLANTA, June 13.-Angelo
Herndon. colored Communist. lost an
other round today In his fight to es-
cape a chain gang sentence imposed
under an insurrection law enacted in
reconstruction days.
The Georgia Supreme Court ruled
unanimously the statute, passed in
1871. did not violate either the State
or Federal Constitutions.
Attorneys for Herndon, a native of
Cincinnati, said the case would be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court, which last year refused a re-
view because constitutional grounds
had not been properly presented.
Herndon, whose cause is espoused by
liberal organizations, contended the
law violated the rights of free speech,
free press and free assembly.
Convicted in 1882.
Convicted in 1892, he is at liberty
under $1,000 bail provided by the In
ternational Labor Defense. He has
never been on chain gang, since his
fight has been continuously before ap-
pellate courts.
Communistic literature found in
Herndon's quarters provided the basis
for his conviction. Among the pa
pers was proposal to establish a
BLACK belt republic" in the predom-
inately Negro sections of the South.
In upholding the insurrection law
the court reversed Judge Hugh M
Dorsey of Fulton (Atlanta) Superior
Court. He released Herndon last Fall
on writ Of habeas corpus, ruling the
statute was too vague to be enforced
The State appealed.
Insurrection was defined in the Law
as any combined resistance to law
full authority of the State. A death
penalty is provided, but jury gave
Herndon 18 to 20 years.
To Appeal Decision.
Roger Baldwin. director of the Civil
Liberties Union, said in New York
the appeal to the highest court would
be taken "at once"
Baldwin said Whitney North Sey-
mour of New York, former Assistant
Attorney General of the United States
would handle the appeal. Seymour

by Torture"
NEW YORK, June 13 R)-Angelo
Herndon said tonight the decision of
the Georgia Supreme Court ruling
that he serve an 18-to-20-year prison
sentence for violation of an insurrec-
ton law "is a sentence equivalent to
death by torture"
THE importance of the Angelo
Herndon case is not so much what
will happen to rue personally" he
said. The important thing is the
Georgia slave insurrection law which
the State court has upheld in its de-
cision. and the threat it holds for all
labor organizers, all Negro people and
all progressive-minded individuals"
Herndon discussed his case and
handed out prepared statement in
the Offices of the International La
Dor Defense, with which he said he
was affiliated as an organizer"

Scouts Enjoy Hike In Spite
OF Heavy Snow

It takes more than a heavy snow
to dampen the ardor of true Boy
Scout, as was evident last Sunday
afternoon. At 1870 eight Scouts,
with their Scoutmaster Francis
Kraps, and Paul Scott, left in the
Kraps fresh air" automobile for
the Kraps summer residence, in
Meigsville township. Going as far as
Neelyville they had to abandon the
car because of the heavy snow
drifts, and from there hiked
through the deep snow to the Kraps
place. Here they built fires and
enjoyed a supper of soup and hot
chocolate. On their return, it was
necessary to fell tree across a run,
for foot log, and all went fairly
well until Dickie Spung started
across and lost his footing and fell
into the icy waters below. He was
safely rescued, but had to hike
to the car, through the cold, snow,
his tears, and his water-soaked
clothes. This was Dickie's first
Scout hike, and the other Scouts
were sorry he encountered such a
cool reception However, they feel
they had a wonderful time. Scouts
who braved the stormy weather on
the hike were: Billie Bulen, Dickie
Spung, Maurice Henery, Charles
Kuhn, Alan MATHS, Glen Prichard,
Bobbie Hale and Dana Drake. They
all got home about 8 o'clock.

Harold Tom Addresses
Local ROtarianS

At the meeting of the Rotary
club last Friday night at the Ken
nebec hotel, Mr.. Harold Tom, head
of the Muskingum county credit bu-
reau, was the guest speaker. Mr..
Tom spoke along the line OF MS
work. He made it plain that he
had nothing to sell. He is splen-
did speaker and presented the BEN
efits to be derived from credit bu-
reau, in clear, plain, business-like
manner. He spoke of the increas-
ing tendency toward credit buying,
which makes credit bureau more
and more necessary to control the
problem, especially the dangerous
effect it has on peoples other OBJ
legations. After hearing Mr.. Tom
it would seem that every communi-
ty should have credit bureau,
since they perform a distinct SER
vice. This bureau cooperates with
the National consumers credit re-
porting corporation, SO that they
are ever able to supply very quickly
moving into communities, and who
might be seeking to obtain money
under false pretenses. The files of
these bureaus contain record not
alone of those whose paying habits
are poor, but also record of those
who hold number one rating.
Mr.. Tom was asked a number of
questions which he answered, and
which showed him thoroughly fa-
miliar with his line of work. Mr..
w. f. Davy of this place, who re-
Gently moved here from Boston,
where he had been at the head of
the adjustors' department of the
well known Filene store; and prior
to that with the Selfridge store,
London, was introduced and made
few remarks, in which he showed
the close relationship between his
position and that of the credit de-
partment of the store Mr. Davy
had also been connected in way
has Interested himself in trying to
get the merchants to see the ben
efits of a credit bureau for Morgan
county.

present at the meeting were num-

reau, and after the meeting ad-
journed they tarried to talk it over
