to detectives assigned to the case.
Patrolman Leo Trumbull, a member
of the Detroit force and a close personal
friend oi the Leroys, was .said
to have made the identification.
Trumbull also stated that Mrs. Leroy
was formerly Miss Katherine
Jackson, a Southern girl, and that
she and her husband lived at 105
Harper avenue, Detroit, the addresso:iven.
on the shipping bill of the
trunk.

to a Birmingham, Ala., policeman by
Allen Tatum, linotype operator of
that city. The name .given on. the
way bill on which the trur.k was
shipned bore the name "A. A.
Tatum."
According'to dispatches received
by the police^here. Tatum walked into j
police headquarters at Birmingham \
and volunteered a statement. He is j
said to have told officers there that:
he believed the murdered woman j
was Katherine Jackson, whom he met j
in Birmingham. ' He also admitted,!

name given by a man who rented an
apartment at 105 Harper street, Detroit,
the address given by "Tatum"
on the trunk waybill. He said Leroy
was an automobile mechanic.
Tatuni first met Katherine Jackson
in Birmingham, he said, in June,
/1919. Following their meeting he
visited her several times, twice -in
Detroit. Police, checking up on his
statement, have found that "Mrs.
Katherine Jackson, Nashville," was
registered at the Interurban hotel
here October 30, 1919. Tatum said
he again visited the Jackson woman
here in July, 1920, at another hotel
but never was at the Haroer street
address. She told him on that occasion,
he said, thai she-was married and i
that her husband ^as "extremely
jealous."
According to Tatum's story, the
woman wrote to him every day or
two. He had last heard from her!
June 4 or 5,* he said, and gave that j
as his reason for believing that,
"something had happened to her" as !
otherwise she would have communi- j
cated with him. Tatum said that he]
had sent the woman money on one
or two occasions. ..
Tatum, according to word received I
from Birmingham, left Detroit June
28. Police,were endeavoring to check
up on his activities during his stay
here. He is said to have denied all
knowledge of the crime and indi- j
cated he was "willing to come to Detroit
to assist in clearing up the mystery.

an apartment at 105 Harper

"E. Leroy" were the same persoW was j
still an open question to the police, j
The trunk shipped here from New,
York was partially identified today j
by Mrs. Lottie Brooke, manager of ,
the apartment at 105 Harper avenue, j
as having belonged to Leroy. She j
quajfied the identification by say- j
ing she was not sure.

authorized by the recent highw^ act,
and which is now" actually.being put j
in operation, are being completed by j
T H Thomas, secretary of the com- i

persons interested in better roads.-" j
The commission is able to maintain
these roads only when they are
under the state system, connecting j
the various county seats, and will not
give ariv attention to other high-!
ways. The plan now is to hold meet- |
ings in every congressional district, j
possibly two or three in ^me dis- J

I "Under the recent act of the* legislature

provision of the act the department;
deems it advisable to hold a public j
hearing in each of the seven congres-1

will be invited all parties who may be '

One of the things we do not understand

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
MAPPING OUT WORK
______ j
Public Meeting Held?Committees :
Appointed?Program for Work |
Planned.
i
The chamber of corr/ierce mass j
meeting at-the court house July 22
was the first open meeting held since I
the secretary arrived in Newberry. I
Judging from the attendance alone*
an outsider might say the citizens
here are not much inU rested in town
l. ..i i? ? ~ .,1? KA
i'v.'.'ci iiiciii., uctrtuic <;;n.v auvuc wv
p?opi j were present. Judging from
the quality of the representation,
however, the outlook is much more ;
encouraging. The spirit shown by j
the audience was commendable in- j
deed. Severai enlightening speeches
were made, many suggestions were
offered concerning worthy work
which the chamber~of commerce may j
undertake, and every one seemed to
become filled with the foundation
principle of chamber of commerce
work, namely, that. any r.ask which
is desirable and practicable is not too
great tovbe undertaken by the unit-1
ed effort of the public spirited citizens
of a community. It is believed
that out of this meeting will grow a
program Worthy of the best effort of
the citizens of Newberry.
A program /"committee was appointed
to enlarge upon the work
suggested at the meeting, and to recommend
to the board of directors a
number of specific tasks for immediate
consideration. Mayor Blease is
chairman of this committee, the other
members being Z. F. Wright, W.
H. Wallace, E. H. Aul; and J.' A.
Burton. As soon as a program has
been adopted a special committee
will be appointed to go to work on
each separate undertaking.
Emphasis was laid upon thfe importance
of increasing the membersh"*),
and to this end a membership
committee was named as follows :-C.
C. Schumpert, chairman; J. B. Hunter,
.J. C. Kinard, F. R. Hunter ind
W .J. Swittenberg.
The constitution of the '.chamber
of commerce provides for the appointing
of an advisory committee
of 14 members. Ten of these were
named at the mass meeting, the other
four to "be announced later:
H. L. Parr, John ^Wicker, Z. F.
Wright, 0. Klettner, M. W. Clary,
.Wi.^.Jiunt, Ciorge .W. Summer, T.
E. Keitt,x George B. Cromer, J. E.
Summer.
The membership and program committees
held meetings on the 23rd,
the latter of which will have another
session on the 27th to complete its
recommendations to the board of directors.

OF DISCRIMINATION.

Wheat Growers Lost on Price
Fixing.
Marion, Ohio, July 25.?The needs
of Western farmers were talked over
with Senator Harding by Senator
Capper of Kansas and Henry Wallace
nf 1 Joe Mninps. Inwa. hoth editors of
farm publications and in a statement
afterward Senator Capper said farmers
of the West were fast realizing
why jt is necessary that,the Republican
ticket be elected.
I "To put the Democrats into v
power," the Kansas senator said,
would be to "turn the government
over to the South and- Democratic
; machines of the various Tammanized
[states of the North.".
Arriving at the Harding home
early in the day, Senator Capper? ac- '
companied Senator and Mrs. Harding
to services at Methodist church
; and remained their guest until evening.
Messengers of congratulation on
the senator's acceptance'speech continued
to come, in the (Jay, one of
| them being from -Governor Lowden
j of Illinois, who was a leading candij
date for the presidential nomination
aj Chicago. Governor Lowden tele
j graphed: N *
i Clear to Lowden.
f "Heartiest congratulation upon
your speech of ^acceptance. It is
j clear, forceful and patriotic."
| Another which pleased the Hardijig
: managers was from Frank A. MunMow
Vnrlr nnp of the leaders
JtJ VX iiv,.. ^ _
j in the Progressive party in 1912.
I "I congratulate you freartily," Mr.
Munsey wired, "on the splendid re-"
j ception your speech- of acceptance >
has had through the entire North."
| A delegation from Terre Haute*
find., cd its. way to the Knights of
j Pythias convention at Cleveland,
marched to the Harding lawn during
the afternoon in full regalia and ,
(headed by a band serenaded the nominee.
He shook hands and told his
! callers he was proud to be a mem
ber of the Pythian order> but he de'clined
to^ake a speech.
i Senator Capper's statement blamed
!tjie Democratic administration for
inequalities,^ markets which favor
cotton and sugar and declared Governor
Cox's nomination for president
" " " ? * ?? ^ *
laid the Democratic party uuuer ?
joint obligation to Southern interj
ests and to the "bosses of the North."
| "Governor Cox," he said, 1 "in the
eight years he had dominaiod DemoI
cratic politics in Ohio has built a
|machine based on the Tammany'
\ model.' ' '
"Cotton Vcr#u* Wheat."
"During and since the war," the
statement continued, "we have seen
j what Southern control means. The
{Southern statesmen were all for rigidly
controlling and limiting the price
of wheat that compelled the farmers
to take far less than they would
. have got in an uncontrolled market,
j Cotton went to dizzy heights. ,
j "More recently we have seen the
