WATSON MAKES
. ? CRAVE CHARGES
Washington, Nov. 1.?Flat charges
by Senator Watson (Democrat) of
Georgia that many American soldiers
' in the American expeditionary force
had been hanged in France without
courts-martial or other trials stirred
up a storm in the senate today which
resulted in the .adoption by unani*
mous vote of an order for an in
K vestigation at which the Georgia sen
^tor be asked to present prooi
of his charges.
* A special committee headed by Senator
Brandegee (Republican) of Con
necticut was appointed to make an
inquiry after Senator Watson had re
fused to present his charges before
the senate military committee because
he said it was not impartial.
Other senators appointed on the investigating
committee wore Ernst o
Kentucky and Willis of Ohio (Repub.
licans) and Overman of North Carolina
(Democrat). Senator Pomerem
.(Democrat) of Ohio also was ap
v pointed to the committee but waa un
able to serve and another Democrat
in his place will be selected tomor
row. None of the committee, by
Agreement, are members of the military
committee. The first meeting
will be held tomorrow, but only to do
cide upon procedure and hearings will
j go over for several days.
Bitter exchanges between Senator
Watson and Chairman Wadsworth of
the military committee and othei
i. Republicans marked the debate which
proceeded the vote for an impartial
inquiry into the charges. Senator
\ Wadsworth denied vigorously thai
t nny American soldiers had been exe
I r cuted without trials while SenatoWatson
1?eiteratcd emphatically hi?
? charges, and when criticised for re
I fusing to present his evidenco to th>
military committee, agreed to submit
; it to some other investigating body.
' j A photograph of a structure, v^hich
Senator Watson described as a gal.
lows from which Americans had been
executed, figured prominently durinp
the heated exchanges. Senator Boiah
" (Republican) of Idaho said he als
* had been shown that or a similai
photograph but that he did not regard
the evidence as sufficient to warram
L . bringing tho matter to the' attentio
two former service men Had vouche>
for its authenticity.
Senator New (Republican) of Indiana
entered the debate to submit in
formation which he said he had re.
ceived from the war department to
the effect that of the members of the
American expeditionary force who
had been condemned by courtmartia
only nine had been executed, whorea^
Senator Watson had said that at least
21 had been hanged, many without
being tried.
Examination of the army records
matlc today by -Secretary Weeks re
vealed that none of the men executed
in France during the war was charged
with a military offense, desertion o>
cowardice or aiding the enemy. paTh0
total number of executions by*'tin
nrrpy he said, was ten. There was nr
execution, the secretary said, unti'
after a careful and searching inquiry
and a full trial.
In each of the ten cases, it was de
clared, the sentence of the court was
carried out. Six were on charges or
criminal asasult, three for crimina*
t assault and murder, and one for minder
and assault with intent to commif
criminal assault.
All were aggravated eases, it was
explained.
The secretary asserted that no inquiry
had been received1 by him, or to
his knowledge by the department, as
to the accuracy of the charges before
they were made by Senator Watson

INJUNCTION MAY ,
CAUSE STRIKE
Indianapolis, Nov. 1.?A nationwide
strike of eon] miners seemed inevita- 1
ble tonight if operators heed the in- a
junction issued by Federal Judge A. t
B. Anderson, which prescribed the I
'check off" of union dues.
A telegram sent late today from ?
''eadquarters of the United Mine I
Vorkers of America after it had been ?
lefinitely learned that the injunction
vas not yet in effect, advised union I
>flRcials to regard discontinuance of (
he "check off" as breaking the exist- i
ing wage agreement. P
The telegram, signed by President t
fohii L. Lewis, Vice President Phillip I
Murray and Secretary William Green, S
jaid: "Any abrogation or setting aside c
jf any part or section of this agreenent
including the section providing f
or ihe checking off of dues and as- r
lessments can not be regarded as
other than a violation of the agreemont
f?nrl sVinillrl hn frontnrl onnnVrlinrr \\
y by the district officers and local t
unins."
While no course of conduct for un- i:
on officials was outlined by the tele- a
nam it was said authoritatively tha*
he international officers regarded the v
trike as the union's only weapon to t
nforce a contract. The telegram was 'i
>ent to officials in 16 states, where s
the check off provision obtains and y
vvhere 350,000 of the 550.000 union ti
miners are.employed. a

In Memory of c
Etha Hames Ellerbe K
Since we last met one of our conir
ados has fallen asleep. A charter r
member of the Fair Forest Chapter ^
and the first of our daughters to . be ^
taken from our midst. In her pass'ngr
she gave a new life to brighten
and bless the world. In the splendor
)f her prime she was called from labor
to rest. "Our sorrow is softened by j
the comforting reflection that, in that
arger, richer, fuller life into which she
las entered she will break the precious
ilabastcr box of the deathless love
hat will make the very atmosphere of g
leaven more fragrant by her pres- ];
once.** She has not gone from us for s

Therefore, be it resolved: a
Whereas, God in Ilis infinite wis ii
dona has taken from us our sister a

member of the Fair Forest chapter, D. t1
\. R., that we, the members of this
chapter, do hereby bow to the will of J
jod knowing that fie doeth all things
well. "
Second, That in the death of our be'oved
sister our chapter has lost a
faithful member. We cherish the ?
memory of her beautiful life, its lofty 11
ideals and noble purposes; her quiet, 0
gentle influence was felt by all who 1
knew her. *
Third, All faults and imperfections a
in others were excused by her, and she (
^aw something beautiful and lovable "
in her fellowmen.
Fourth, Her life was so filled with
Christ in God that her very presence
bi'ought calmness, faith and trust to
those in trouble, none knew her but to 1
love her. q
Fifth, Her prayer life has been an
inspiration not only to her immediate i
family but to the community in which
she lived. Her daily life was so closely
attached to the heavenly life that
lier passing was but crossing the bor.lor
line into the presence of her King. (i
Sixth, That we extend to her be- j
reaved loved ones our deepest sympa- c
thy, and that we send a copy of these
resolutions to Dr. Ellerbe and Mrs.

HULL NAMED TO
1 LEAD DEMOCRATS
St. Louis, Nov. 1 (By the Associated
Pi-ess).?The Democratic party
' today chose former Representative
Cordell Hull, of Carthage, Tenn., as
chairman of its national committee
to sucfcoed George White of Marietta,
Ohio, who retired to the party ranks'
"to help in the struggle for the ideals
of Democracy."
The change of leadership, which
had been held by Mr. White since
June, 1920, when he assumed the
chairmanship at the call of former
Gov. James M. Cox, of Ohio, the party's
nominee for president, was assured
early today, it was announced
that all elements of the party had
Tgreed upon either former Assistant

selection was contingent, however,
upon the resignation of Edward

in Mr. Ixing's favor, Mr. Hull then
was announced as the agreed candidate
for the chairmanship.
Mr. White on his arrival here yesterday
announced he would not re.
sign, regardless of the opposition of
.-ei lain party elements to him utiles'
a man could be found on whom a",
jould agree. Mr. White and his sup

showed signs of tight.
. A conference was arranged at
which it was understood the White
opposition led by Senator Carte*

ciis playing a minimum of (?G vote
either present in person or by proxy,
iut of a total of less than 100 vote.c
expected to be present.
The name of Mr. Long and Mr. Hu'lj
as compromise candidates are under
^tood to have been put forward by
'he opponents of Mr. White and wer
declared acceptable by Senator Pa'
Harrison of Mississippi as Chairman
White's representative.
The retiring chairman announced
that Mr. Hull's selection was "a very
happy one," asserting that he had no'
been closely allied with any of th
candidates at the San Francisco con
ventjon.
