Mr.. Mcintosh said he recon.

When the hearing Is resumed
on Friday, both Mr.. Faik and Mr.,
Mcintosh will be cross.examined
BY gas company attorneys.
The gas company based It's plea
for higher rates mostly on the fact
that expenses have risen, while the
company has not had an increase
since i042. IN i04D, the PUC
granted q raise In rates, but the
courts upset this and the company
had TO refund some ei.2 million TO

Neqro Voters In
Thumbs Down"
On Sen. Russell

Atlanta (NNPA)-The announce
ment of Sen. Richard B. Russell,
of Georgia, that he is candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
President, met with no support
from colored leaders here without
regard to their politics.
John Wesley Dobbs, the grand
master of Prince Hall Masons, who
is an active Republican, viewed
Russell's announcement with dis
favor. Mr.. Dobbs said:
Senator RuSSellS candidacy is
not good for my people. He does
not believe in giving Negroes an
equal opportunity. He represents
another revolt of the South COM
parable to what happened in 1850"
Austin T. Walden, an attorney,
stalwart Democrat, and co-chair-
man of the Atlanta Voters League,
declared:

"And lastly, I do hereby nomi-

/ mission that Senator Russell is a
very able man, capable of perform
! ing the duties of the Presidency"
E. E. Moore, an attorney and
president of the Westside Voters
League, said:
Il am of the opinion that Sena-
tor Russell would not make good
President because 1 feel certain that
his views and thinking would be
limited to sectionalism and geo.
graphical ideas"
Therefore, he could not possibly
give consideration to the great do
mestic, national and international
problems that he would of necessity
be called upon to consider" Mr..
Moore added.
DR.. Robert Brisbane, chairman of
the department of political science
at Morehouse College, declared:
II don't think that it (RusselIs S
bid for the nomination. is going to
amount to very much in the ma
tional picture.
Il think that it's possibly bid
to send the national election into
the House of Representatives.
"The most I think Russell can
do is draw sufficient votes from
the Southern States to use for poll
tical bargaining"
The Atlanta Daily World, COM
mently editoria1ly, said:
Senator Russell's candidacy at
best can result in splitting his par
ty into two parts = North and
South. His entry in the campaign
for the Presidency presents a stu
alton on a national scale very SINH
lar to that which existed in 1860
when the issue of slavery split the
Democrat Party and resulted in the
election of Abraham Lincoln. Then
it was slavery, now it is civil rights
with the Negro in the background.
"The Russell entry, however,
makes one thing certain: In the
event a majority of the Georgia
voters vote the Democratic ticket
in November, the Senator or his
kand-picked man will receive the
States electoral vote. This situa-
ton poses a real dilemma for the
Negro voters who certainly don't

1.-THE Grand"
Leaves Fortune
To His Widow

Washington, D. c. (NNPA)-The
entire estate of the late j. Finley
Wilson, who was the grand exalted,
ruler of the Improved Benevolent
and Protective Order of Elks Of
the World, was left to his widow,
Mrs. Leah Farrar Wilson.
The amount of the estate was not
disclosed by the will, filed for pro-
bate in the District Court here last
Tuesday by George E. C. Hayes,
attorney for Mrs. Wilson and a wit
ness to the making of the will. Its
value is conservatively estimated at
$25O,000, all accumulated by Mr..
Wilson after he became the Elks'
grand exalted ruler in 1922.
Mrs. Wilson was named in the
will as ,executrix of the estate and
was exempt from giving any bond.
Mr.. Hayes made an affidavit
which he filed with the will, dated
November 20, 1924, four months
after he married the former Miss
Farrar of Richmond, Virginia. Mr..
Hayes said he knew of no other will
or codicil made by Mr.. Wilson other
than the one filed, which he re-
ceived from the widow.
Mr.. Wilson died February 19. The
text of his will follows:
