MUCH EVIDENCE AND
SOME LIQUOR FIGURE
IN ACQUITAL OF ROSv*
There were many rumors and occa
sional whifs of evidence of mucl
booze flowing in and around Abbeville
Saturday and Sunday and th<;
City and County officers pooled interests
and went on a general search,
[n the party were Deputy Sherifi
Cann, Officer Eakin and Special
Policeman Sing Findley.
The suspicion finnally narrowed
iown and alighted upon one, Rosa
SVilliams, a mullatto negro woman
iving near the shops. In the house
,vas found Rosa Williams and Lawrence
Brownlee, Rosa cooking suppei
md Lawrence passing the time of
iay. A cursory search of the house
iisclosed no liquor, but when the officers
ran lightly over the body oi
Lawrence a pint bottle full of white
iquor was found in the negro's hip
pocket. Lawrence was noncommittal
it first as to where the liquor came
from, but finally said he had mad" a
:rip to Willington and had gotten
ibout two fingers of the stuff in
Willington and later for a considera
tion that was variously stated as $1.50
and $3.00 he had the bottle completely
filled by Rosa.
The officers then searched the outbuildings
and found a jug that smell2d
vilely of the stuff, but contained
jnly a few drops of whiskey. Bui
while the officers were searching i,hc
outbuildings a bluish, ghostly looking
flame mounted high from the
chimney of the house. The officer:
ran back and found' Rosa calmlj
cooking steak and when questionec
as to the flame said it came from th(
greasy paper in which the meat hac
been wrapped.
As no liquor was found the officer:
left without arresting Rosa, bul
orougnt JBrowmee DacK to town win
hisprecious pint, which he said h(
had gotten for his sick baby.
Lawrence was then quizzed by th(
officers and on the strength of whal
he had told they returned and ar
rested the negro woman.
The whole matter was aired ir
Mayor's Court Monday morning anc
to assist in trying the case Mayoi
Mars called in five eminent Abbe
villetonians as jurymen, towit: W. A
Calvert, L. C. Haskell, J. F. Hill
John Lomax, and J. W. Baker.
A long but futile search was madt
for Pat Roche to make an even hall
dozen jurors and the case finally
came to trial with just five mon or
the jury. Mr. Haskell was appointee
cmallflr ariH tocfor n-f dvi,
dence and by the same right he be
came ipsi facto foreman.
The jury retired into a room when
there was plenty of water and re
turned after a season with the pinl
bottle semingly as full as ever. Th(
verdict was "not guilty."
No case was made by the citj
against Lawrence Frownlee forvhav.
ing in his possession liquor.
SENATORS SMITH AND

Washington, Feb. 29.? The sen

bitter stage Saturday when Senatoi
Hitchcock, the acting Democratic

willing to defeat the peace treaty.

taor Hitchcock regarding the right
jf any nation to submit its domestic
problems to the League of Nation's
council or assembly. Senator Hitchcock
contended that Senator Smith
lad voted for substantially this resoution
last November, while Senator
Smith denied this, and asserted that
is it was presented today by Sen tor
Hitchcock his resolution really

it would have to be submitted

' greatest reconstruction problems fai

[ and if we should develop our exporl
of industries during the next ftv
years as rapidly as we have durin
| the last five years, we shall by ths
time be faced with the necessity <
importing foodstuffs.
1 The problem is more than an ecoi
s omic one, he asserted, because fro:
dependence on overseas supplies f<
food we will be concerned about the
safety and ,nd ourselves discussiri
: the domination of the seas. Our ii
, ternational relations will becon
more difficult, he said, and unless tf
" League of Nations serves its ideal, m
: will need to burden ourselves wit
, more taxation, maintain great mil
tary and naval forces and imperil th
' development of our national lif
[ which "rests in the spirit of 01
. farms and surrounds our villages."
Defects In Transportation.
Great as is the need for constru

3r WILL MAKE FIGHT

of j he was going to take Barnett back to
Oklahoma. He hopes Barnett will go
willingly, but if he refuses, "other
measures will be resorted to."
i That O'Hornett will meet stiff resist"

! rival. Harold McGuigan, attorney for
er | the woman who was married to Barnof
j ett here yesterday, announced that he
q- was prepared to institute habeas corjy,

y-jfiom being returned to Oklahoma,
n- O'Hornett was unable to find an opir,
portunity to talk to Barnett tonight,
le The Indian millionaire's wife defied all'

SOUTHERN DEMOCRATS j
HAVE THE LAUGH ON
REPUBLICAN MEMBERS;
Washington, Feb. 27?Southern
members of Congress who were hero!
in 1911 curinot help smiling when they!
ictsu uie reports irom Mlcnigau.
where Senator Turman H. Newberry
and his backers are being tried for illegal
conspiracy to nominate the distinguished
multi-millionaire for his
present legislative position.
Hasty readers are apt to jump at
the conclusion that the matter now
before the Michigan courts is the election
of Senator Newberry. That is
not the case. The present trial is on
the charge of conspiracy to violate the
campaign publicity and corrupt practices
act in the Republican primary
election at which the wealthy Senator
was nominated. The first important
test of the law, therefore, comes
in a Republican primary in a rockribbed
Republican State.
Circumstances Recalled.
The bill which resulted in the preset
law regulating expenditures in political
campaigns for federal office.?
and requiring publicity as to such ex
penditures, was passed by a Demo
cratic House in 1911. As the House
sent the measure to the Senate, it applied
only to elections. The Senate,
at that time Republican, amended the
bill so as to make it include pri-i
maries.
There was a hot fight over the
amendment, but it was finally accepted
by an overwhelming vote. Fairness
dictates the statement that mosti
of the Democrats, as well as nearly
all of the Republicans, supported the]
amended measure on the roll cail, but:
the intensity of the struggle is -not |
properly reflected in this result. In j
the House, where the debate wasi
warmest, there were only twentyseven
votes against the bill as it
came from conferences, and twentyfive
of those votes were cast by
Southerners. The two adverse ?\ormern
votes were divided between the
parties. One was that of Republican
Representative Samuel W. McCall, of
Massachusetts, afterwards governor
of that State, and the other was contributed
by Representative Martin W.
Littleton, Democrat, of New York,
who is now of counsel for Senator
Newberry in the Michigan conspiracy
case.
Sample of G. 0. P. Argument.
A good illustration of the Republican
argument for including primary
elections in the scope of the act is
found in the following quotation from
one of the speeches delivered in favor
of the conference report by Representative
Olmsted, of Pennsylvania,
one of the Republican conferees..who
was answerirtg objections presented
by Representative Bartlett, of Georgia
"Upon that side of the House gentlemen
from districts where there is
no contest in November, where it all
occurs at the primary, have been
clamoring for publicity along with
the rest. But they seem to want it
dnly In spots?in Republican spots.
"Now, if we are to have a publicity
bill at all, we want a publicity bill
that applies to the whole country?
North, South, East and West?Where ever
a Congressman or a Senator is to
be elected.
"Let me show you now it wonts, i;
have known a gentleman to occupy j
the position of minority leader on this
floor in three Congresses. His district
had a population of more than!
200,000. He received less than 1,5001
votes at the general election but there |
having been no votes against him, hej
was triumphantly elected. There was:
no contest in the general election and
of course the expenses to report. A
publicity bill that did not apply to the
primaries wouia nut a?um Lcity
in a district like that."

AMERICA HAS LOST
PLACE AS- LEADER
Secretary Bakes Says Country Has
"Lost its Nerve" In Making
Reservations?Says Reservation
ists Have iNo sense or rroportion?No
Complaint to
Make
New York, Feb. 28.?The position
which America held at the close of the
war as moral leader of the world was
relinquished when the country "lost
its nerve" said Secretary Baker at a
luncheon today of the Brooklyn Chamber
of Commerce.
"We made reservations until the
moral leadership passed," he declared.
"Reservationists have no sense of proportion.
They forget they are dealing
with the fate of mankind. Our adhesion
to the League of Nations is what
will save the world."
"On March 4. 1921" Mr. Baker continued,
"I expect to be inaugurated?in
private life, and what I say is said as
one who is leaving public life."
The secretary said that while he had
no complaint to make of committees
making war expenditure investigations,
"it would not be wise to take
too serious some of the things emanating
from that source."
"When they assault the reputation
of men who have faithfully served the
republic I am forced to hope that the
grateful sense of Americans will prevent
these shafts, aimed by malice,
from injuring anyone," he declared.
"I have in mind John D. Ryan, who
worked so faithfully for the Red
Cross and who later was director of
aircraft production. I cannot speak
too highly of Mr. Ryan."
Mr. Baker said the War Department
itrill ro/iloim hv caloc nf nrnnPl'tv in
France and in this country nearly
$3,000,000 and that the money will return
to the Treasury, to "ease the
terrible burden of taxation."
In urging military preparedness.
Secretary Baker said:
"In the next war, and I trust there
j never will be one, no other group of
nations may hold the front lines for
| a year and a half for jis until we are
I prepared."

diction that the 3.50 per cent beer bill
i would go to the New Jersey senate
i Monday night and will be adopted and

24 hours afterward, notwithstanding
internal Revenue Commissioner .Roper's
statement that manufacture and
sale of 3.50 per cent beer is a direct
violation of the federal statutes, was
! made here today by Thomas Brown,
i senate minority leader.
"Under the concurrent power grant:
ed by the eighteenth amendment to the
| constitution, New Jersey has the right
I to pass legislation defining intoxicating
beverages" Senator Brown said.
"I am fully confident that out of the
21 Senators twelve will vote for it.
There will be opposition to it, but I
have the confidential pledge of six Republican
Senators that they will vote
for 3.50 per cent beer when the measure
is introduced, The alx Democratic
Senators will support it because they
believe in personal liberty and state
rights."
