SHERIFF WHO HELD TABERT MUST FIGHT TO KEEP AUTHORITY Florida Governor Recommends That he Be Removed for Malfeasance in Office TALLAHASSEE, Fla., April 23.—The Florida senate acted promptly today on the first recommendation to grow out of the legislative investigation of the death of Martin Tabert, of North Da kota—the recommendation of Governor Hardee that Sheriff J. R, Jones, of Leon county be removed from office. Jerry M. Poppell, former Jailer, testi fied Saturday that Sheriff Jones on signing an agreement with the Putnam Lumber company, in which he was to receive $20 for each prisoner he deliv ered told him and other deputies to “get busy for this mean” money for me" Tabert died while, under lease to the company. The governor submit ted his message recommending that Jones be removed for malfeasance in office shortly after the senate recon vened at 4 o'clock this afternoon. The senate went into executive ses sion to consider the message. It re mained behind closed doors for one hour and 35 minutes, at the end or which time President Turnbull an nounced that he had appojnted a com mittee to report on the governor’s mes sage. Sheriff Jones will have the op portunity of appearing before them in the light of their new standing. Early today members of the investigating committee had stated they were unan imously in favor of the sheriff’s te moval. I CONNOR TO LECTURE RALEIdrH, April 23.—Judge H. G.

Sudden Marriages of^ Youthful Colonists, Arouse Suspicions of Micigan Authorities SOME OF THEM MERE CHILDREN IN ’TEENS Rumored That Group Nuptials Are Always in Order When Clan Threatened Probe • ST. JOSEPH, Mich., April 28.—(By Associated Press)—Michigan's grand jury investigation of charges of im morality at Benjamin Purnell’s Israe lite colony of the house of David open ed today with 14 young brides and. 14 bridegrooms on hand to explain their sudden decision to be married in two group weddings last week. The test-witness—gir) btide—*vas on " tiie.' witness stand before Judge Harry Dlngeman of'Detroit, - the one man grand jury, for more than three hours under cross examination by at torneys for the state and country. The girl whose age was given in the marriage license as 17, is actually only 18- years old, according to county ; records, it was reported. Unusual Spectacle The spectacle outside the city hall where the investigation is being held was an unusual one. In a dimly lighter corridor three long rows of seats held the 18 young married people and a half dozen older members of the cult, who guarded their charges closely from inquisitive reporters and photo graphers. „ The brides, well dressed, with faces powdered and hair neatly arranged in the latest mode, appeared no different than any young group of young girls of high school age. In marked contrast to the girls, how ever,* was the group of bridegrooms each sitting beside his wife. They ranged from boy who appeared not more than 16 to one man who probably is 28 or 30. All wore caps, the almost universal head dress of the men of the colony hut as the afternoon dragged on they dofTed them one kby one and then a more startling difference, appeared, for from beneath t the caps tumbled long braids of hair, reaching in some .cases to the boy’s waits. May Subpoena Others How long it will take to get the testimony of the 28 colony witnesses is problematical. Judge Dingeman said no more subpoenas will be issued until the present group is exhausted. The purpose in calling the young brides and grooms is to find who sug gested their sudden weddings, which were celebrated on two successive nights last week after licenses had been obtained outside the regular court hours. The marriages did not become public until 48 hours later. It has been charged In recent court hearings that the colony when threat ened with state or federal investiga tion has always married oft groups of girls who might be able to tell some thing about the alleged Immorality in “King Benjamin’s’’ home. Therefore Judge Dingeman said he would go to the bottom of the present marriage wave and decide -whether the 14 couples voluntarily decided they want ed- to wed at this time. Safeguarding of American Interests Guiding Spirit of Delegation At Lausanne LOUS ANNE, April -23.—(By Associat ed Press.)—Safeguarding of the legiti mate national interests of the United' States, and of the principles of com mercial opportunity for all nations was officially set forth toddy as the guid ing rule of the American representa tives, when l the pear, e^®.t. pea,ce L con ference resumed its labors in an en deavor to restore peace between the allied powers and Tdi'k'ejr,'Arid between Greece and Turkey.

The Conference then divided itself into three' committees, each of which will take up subjects in dispute, an.d tomorrow active discussions on concrete topics will be begun : Minister Grew said the United States welcomed the resumption of the con ference. It had; reconvened on a sub stantial basis, and a understanding had already been reached on a variety of important subjects and upon this Arm foundation the United States expected soon to see erected that edifice of a just arid stable peace ,for which the world was'waiting'with eagerness of the po sition of the American representatives, he Bald:. ‘‘We are here for the same purposes and-in the same character as before the adjournment, participating not oh the footing of a belligerent against ffurkey nor as a party to the treaty of peace under negotiation between' the allied powers and Turkey, but none the less in a fully representative capacity and with full authorization and compe tence to speak on behalf of the govern ment of tpe United States.” 5 , HARDING’S ADDRESS TODAY WILL BE FIRST OF SERIES OF TALKS f During These Trips President Will Endeavor to Give Account ! of Official Stewardship ^ ^ • S- .

White House Silent. White house officials as is customary, have given no inkling of the nature of the address Mr. Harding will make to morrow at the Associated Press lunch eon, which will be attended by a large proportion of the newspaper editors and papers of the country. The Presi dent has been at work on his speech for several days and today went over it with , several members of his cabinet, including Secretary Hughes, indicating that he considers it of extreme Impor tance.

CHICAGO MAN CLAIMS GOVERNMENT AGENTS PLAYED HIM A TRICK Avers They Accepted Money for Favors Never Rendered— Gaston Means Mentioned CHICAGO, April 23.—Affidavits made by Edward M. Salomon, of Chicago, that he paid $12,600 to two men alleged to be employes of the United States department of justice, are in the pos session of treasury department officials it was declared here today. Salomon charges, it is said, that the money was paid for favors Which the meh failed to deliver. Special dispatches from Washington to newspapers here asserted that the disclosure of the existence of the affi davits threatened to divulge how boot leggers and others were mulcted of large sums for protection they never received. Copies of the affidavit are said to be in the hands of certain Re publican congressmen, who may bring the matter up before the house. Salo mon claims the men1 promised to make him prohibition director of Illinois. Salomon is said to have written let ters to William J. Burns, chief of the bureau of investigation of the depart ment of justice,^and George Chrlstain, secretary to President Harding, in con nection with his charges. Salomon in his affidavit is said to have mentioned Gaston B. Means and Elmer Jernicke as two department of justice men with whom he had certain dealings. He is also understood to have referred to Col. Thomas B. Felder, who was instrumental in petitioning William Howard Taft, then president, for a pardon for Charles W. Morse, wealthy ship owner, now under indict ment in connection with alleged war frauds, as attorneys of the agents whom Salomon accused. Means, it is said, does not appear as listed among employes of William J. Burns’ office.

Turck, state health officer. | Immediately upon being informed by Dr. Turck, the committee voted to ap point a sub-committee to •go to the Mingo cemetery and other places near Clara, . Fla., where Tabert is said to have been buried, and exhume the b >dy. A disinterment permit has been grant ed the committee by the state health officers. Evidence Concluded Late today the committee virtually concluded hearing evidence in the Ta bert case with the exception of await ing a report from its sub-committee which will leave here Wednesday for Clara. The sub-committee will take along Arthur Johnson, a former con vict, who declared he and three other men buried Tabert in a spot other than the place designated by witnesses ap pearing for the Putnam Lumber com pany. at whose lease camp Tabert met his death. Dr. Turck informed the committee that the state board of health had no knowledge that Martin Tabert died in Florida, until the information revealed through the newspapers. Investiga tion is nowHpending to find who was the-- df-ath eef tif I* cajb and reporting the casket sale. Dr. T. Capers Jones, physician for the Putnam Lumber company, has testified before the committee that he made out a burial permit, giving the cause of Tabert’s death as being due “primarily to pneumonia! with a complication of malaria.” This,t the doctor said, was incorrect; he explained the purported false entry by Saying he did not care to embarrass Tabert’s parents. Conflict in Testimony The physician said the real cause of the youth’s death was pneumonia and a serial disease complication. Other witnesses have testified there was no evidence of Tabert having the latter disease. ' . i On being cross-examined Dr. Jones admitted that at the time of Tabert’s death he did not know whether he had ■ any relatives nor did he know from what’ state the youth came. Dr. Jones stated today he was posi tive he made out a burial permit. In an effort to be sure, he said, he Jiad telegraphed to the board of health and was surprised to learn there was no record of any such permit. Dr. Jones said he was unable to account for the lost record. W. S. Whiddon, an undertaker of Perry, Fla., testified before the com mittee today that he had shipped, by order of the Putnam Lumber company, a casket to Clara, Fla., in which he la ter learned Tabert was buried. He said he made out a casket sale report shortly after the casket was shipped. He said he was not required to have a burial permit because the death was out of his district. Whiddon testified he sold the lumber company’upon their request the cheap est casket he,carried in stock. The stained coffin .with "an outside box,” • cost 3 3d,' he said. In answer to question by Chairman John P. Stokes, Whiddon said convicts were, usually buried, in coffins costing $17.60 when the county was required to pay the expense. Pojjeil substantiated Testimony today was intended to substantiate the evidence given by Jerry M. Poppell, former Jailer of Leon county, who startled the committee Saturday by saying Sheriff J. R. Jones, County Judge B. F. •Willis, two deputy sheriffs and himself had been intoxi cated on several occasions and that the sheriff in signing an agreement with the Putnam Lumber company in which he was to receive $20 for each prisoner he delivered to the company, told other deputies-to "get busy for this means money for me.” Action toward the removal of Sheriff Jones was taken today by the governor, while the committee called witnesses with a view to drawing tighter its case against Judge Willis.

A. Boyer, representing Pat terson’s family after an official exami nation of the body had been made in the presence of Assistant State's Attor ney John C. Jones. Dr. J. R. Chappell, a physician who examined Patterson’s body, said he found five places where Patterson had been struck on the .head. He expressed the belief that a blow on top of the head caused concussion of th,e brain, which led to the boy’s death. Assistant State’s Attorney Jones said he considered it significant that the brain was removed before the body was shipped to Orlando. He add«3 that while the case will be left in the hands of the Patterson attorney, he hoped a “thorough investigation” of the case would be conducted. The attorney of Michigan will- be formally requested to start an official investigation tomorrow morning, Mr. Boyer said, adding he will telegraph details of the case as he has found them to the Michigan officials. "My only interest is seeing Justice done. I feel that this boy was bru tally beaten to death,” Mr. Royer said, adding ‘‘that he was left throughout the night after he was beaten without medical attention and -that somebody must be responsible for what seems to have been the grossest negligence wfitere a .human life was concerned.” Enlisted Fliers Rate j Additional Salaries WASHINGTON, April S3.—Enlisted men in the navy are entitled to extra pay during the entire time they were assigned to flying duty, the supreme court decided in cases brought by the government against Harry W. Luskey, John B. Mossel, And Charles F. Mil ford. The government contended that the men are entitled to the extra pay only while actually engaged in flying, and should not receive it when unreason ably long periods elapsed be'tween flights. The court of claims had held, however, that congress had hot stipu lated the number of times-on enlisted man must make flights, and that the pay must cover the entire'time the linen were on detail for flying duty. x CANDIDATES ATTENTION! -Because of the thousands of votes in coupons and subscrip tions that were cast in the Star and News campaign Saturday night and up until midnight Monday, it was impossible to get them all double checked in time for the regular vote count to appear in today’s Star and News. The count is being made, however, and will appear tomorrow, including ballots cast up until midnight Monday. - The winners of the hundred dollar prizes will be announced in tomorrow morning’s Star. The tabulation shows the scores of the candidates so close that a reeheck will be made. „ ■ i iff ;f-! ' MEETING OF WELFARE BOARD GALLED; MANY MATTERS BEFORE BODY Announcement of Meeting Re Calls Interest in Dudding Charges, Probe Unlikely THURSDAY IS DATE SET FOR CONFERENCE Departmental Affairs in General Will be Discussed When Gov ernor Meets Commission By BROOK BARKLEY RALEIGH, April 23.—Governor Mor rison has called the state board of charities and public welfare to meet with him Thursday at noon, two days in advance of the annual spring meet ing of the board to be held in Greens boro. The executive call for the meeting returns interest to the possibility of further inquiry into prison conditions, but it was announced the conference is for the purpose of discussing wel fare department affairs in general. The late prison affair, which took the shade of a controversy because the welfare Authorities thought an investi gation should be conducted on the strength of Mr. Dudding’s charges and the prison directors though contrari wise, will receive further discussion at this meeting, it is understood, although this is not the specific object 6f the call. The welfare authorities intimate that they would take up specifically the proposal to investigate prison con ditions when they assemble in Greens boro, whether an organized investiga tion will result Is speculative; but it is considered quite likely that the Dud ding affair, the conference with Gov ernor Morrison and the Greensboro meeting will encourage closer atten tion to the investigative part of the departments duties In the future. Basis of Authority . Th® welfare organization is directed to conduct investigations of the prison systems under section 5006, chapter 83 of, the consolidated statute, which specifies that “ the board shall have the following powers and duties to wit: ... ,To investigate, andr,.attpervlse through, and- by its own members, or its agents or employers, the whole system of the charitable and penal in stitutions of the state, and to record mend such changes and additional provisions as it may deem needful for their economical and efficient admini stration.” The department evidenced that it had conducted quite an-extensive in vestigation into the charitable and penal systems ■ through the elaborate report made of Mrs. Kate Burr John son, commissioner of charites and pub lic welfare. Made public a few months ago. Some of the charges against county homes and county convict camps bordered on the sensational in their arraignment of conditions found by the inspectors. County jails, county convict camps, county homes and the asylums were dealt at with at length in Mrs.' John son s report and many recommenda tions as to needlid improvements were made. From some of these opposing the at titude of the department toward the proposal were a prison investigating the charge to that if conditions un satisfactory existed at the state prison or state prison camps the department should have discovered them in ad vance of president Dudding of the prisoners relief society. Simmons In Raleigh Senator F. M. Simmons is here his first visit on governor Morrison he ar rived in town this afternoon and is guest at the executive mansion.
