The censure of the House of Representatives, as pub licly pronounced by Speaker Gillett in accordance with a unanimous vote of its members, rested today upon Thomas L. Blanton, a Democratic member from Texas. Retaining his seat by a bare margin of eight votes under the neces sary two-thirds when the House yester day voted 203 to 113 on the resolution of Representative Mondell, of Wyom ing, the Republican leader, proposing expulsion of the Texas member for in sertion in the Congressional Record of a document described as "unspeakably vile," Representative Blanton a few minutes later heard his colleagues vote unanimously for a resolution propos ing that he be publicly reprimanded at the bar of the House. Twenty-six mem bers, 22 Republicans and four Demo crat?, voted "pjwRentV.. on the censure resolution offered by Representative Garrett, of Tennessee, the Democratic leader. Giving every evidence and broken man at the the ordeal during which Representative Mondell, raigning him, plead for from the House and had an hour fought to defend himself from the charges, the Texas member brought the scene to a dramatic conclusion when, on leaving the chamber after the Speaker's reprimand he collapsed to the floor. He quickly recovered, however, after being picked up by col leagues, some of whom had voted for his expulsion, and later was observed hard at work in his office on a pile of correspondence. In censuring Representative Blanton, Speaker Gillett said: "Mr. Blanton, by a unanimous vote oi tne Mouse, tne ayes 293, the nays none, I have been directed to censure you because, when you had been allow ed by the courtesy of the House to print a speech which you did not deliv er upon the floor, you inserted in it foul and obscene matter which you knew you could not have delivered on Lhe floor, and that disgusting matter, which could not have been circulated through the mail in any other paper without a crime, was transmitted to thousands of homes and libraries throughout the country to be read by men and women, and worst of all, by children whose prurient curiosity Would be excited by it. Because of that, I have been directed to pronounce and I hereby pronounce upon you the cen sure of the house." MAJOR COWART HELD IN JAIL FOR MURDER Columbus, Ga., Oct. 28. Major Lee H. Cowart, retired army officer, was arrested on a charge of murder and placed In jail here following the death in an Atlanta hospital last night of A. B. McNiece. Major Cowart, who was in Colum bus on bond following the shooting of Mr. McNiece several weeks ago in Talbotton, Ga., had previously an nounced his intention on learning of the man's death of going to Talbotton and surrendering to the sheriff. Neither the former officer nor Mr. Mc Niece, who was superintendent of schools at Talbotton, would discuss the cause of the shooting.

CAPITAL OF $500,000. Eddie Jones and Ivey Stew art Are Behind Latest Financial Enterprise. The Industrial Loan and Savings Bank of Charlotte has been organized with a hapital s'.ock of $500,000 and will begin business January 1. Interested in the organization of Charlotte's latest financial institution have been Eddie E. Jones, cashier of the Independence Trust Company, and Ivey W. Stewart, assistant cashier of the Commercial National Bank. The stockholders represent more than 100 of the most prominent busi ness and professional men of the com munity. Among them, in addition to Mr. Jones and) Mr. Stewart, are J. H. Wearn, J. H. Cutter, R. L. Gibbon, Dr. Hamilton McKay, J. M. Oldham, J. A. Jones, S. B. Tanner, Dr. J. P. Matheson, Harvey H. Orr, R. Horace Johnston, A. M. Whisnant and T. C. Guthrie. The new bank proposes to begin business the first of the year with a paid-in capital of $200,000, which will be increased up to the maxi mum of a half million dollars as the demands of the institution's clientele are developed. The gentlemen who have been instru mental in the organization of the bank have acquired tentative options on two centrally located buildings, one of which will be selected, it is understood, in the next few days. The understanding is that the stock holders will be called to a meeting within the next two or thr:e weeks to determine upon the directors to serve the institution, after which the direc tors will elect officers. Mr. Jones and Mr. Stewart will con tinue in their present positions of trust and responsibility at the Indepen dence Trust Company and the Commer cial National Bank, respectively, where both - have had long connections. How ever, they will probably have intimate relations with the future management of the new institution, which has "come into being largely by virtue of their individual efforts. TO DO INDUSTRIAL BANKING. The Industrial Loan and Savings Bank is the fourth institution of its sort to be launched in Charlotte. It will do a species of industrial banking which in late years has become pop ularized throughout the country. The plan of operation is to make loans on a basis of weekly savings, which are returned by theb orrowers to the bank negotiating the paper, the long-time element of loans featured by the usual commercial banking processes being eliminated. This character of banking, it is explained has proven exceedingly popular for the smaller borrowers who need outside capital on some basis other than that which requires them to take up their paper for the full amount when it falls due at some stipulated period. The Industrial Loan and Savings Bank wrh:oh has just been promoted will take rank with any in the city for the sizeableness of its operating capi tal and the fact that such a large number of the more prominent busi ness and professional interests of the city have been drawn into it as stock holders is regarded as an omen of its instant success.' Both Mr. Jones and Mr. Stewart, who are behind the proposition, are among the most popular of the city's young bankers. Both have arisen swiftly in their profession. Mr. Jones came to Charlotte from Virginia some years ago to accept a position with the Charlotte National Bank and was acquisitioned by the Independence Trust Company when it was later organized, being given a re sponsible position at the outset of this company's launching into business. He has successively been promoted until he is now the cashier of the institu tion. Mr. Stewart is a native of Charlotte and has been with the Commercial Na tional Bank during his entire business career. Gradual promotions have brought him up to his present position of assistant cashier of the Commercial Marshal Foch, of France, Arrives to Be Guest of the American Legion. GREETED BYTERSHING Destroyers and Soaring Seaplanes Escort the Paris to Quarantine. New York. Oct. 28.

Announce ment of a contest in which prizes ag gregating $1,500 will b given for the best developed human back was made at the opening session here today of the mid-Atlantic Osteopathic Associa tion. Dr. J. C. Muttart, of Philadelphia, one of the speakers at the meeting, in discussing the automatic manufac ture of alcohol in the body during the digestion of confectionery, declared that the "candy jag" had become a formidable rival pt "hootch" "and threatened to supersede it entirely. Osteopathic physicians and special ists from Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina and the District of Columbia were in attendance at the meeting. PRESIDENT HANDING IS BACK AT CAPITAL Washington, Oct. 28. President Hard ing returned to Washington from his Southern trip at 11 a. m- today, his special train completing a run from Atlanta, Ga., in two hours less ,than the scheduled time of the Southern Railway's limited. The Presidential special, which left Atlanta at 6 p. m. central time yester day, made no stops on the way except to change engines. Immediately on his arrival, the Pres ident motored to the White House to take part in the regular Friday Cabinet meetings. The Cabinet members had gathered for the meeting before the president arrived. liyi Imp1! BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Staff Correspondent of The Nvs. Copyright, 1921, by Xews TubHsLIng Co.

Most everybody in the Government realizes that a truce has been made and nothing more. Fur ther wage cuts are up in the air, so are further freight reductions.

Racing into port on the liner George Washington, the leader of America's forces in the World war reached Quar-' antine about 11 o'clock, in ample time to greet Marshal Foch, who followed him several hours later into the har bor on the steamship Paris, escorted by American destroyers and seaplanes. As in the dark days of the war, General Pershing owed his latest vic tory to men below him, in rank, who had taken up arms just as gallantly in defense of their country. For it was due to the ex-service men in th;. fireroom of the George Washington that General Pershing was able to get back in time from his trip to Europe, where he conferred the Congressional Medal of Honor on the ' '.'unknown sol diers" of France and Great Britain. Responding tc a wireless appeal from the American Legion, which is enter taining the marshal on his visit to this country and bringing him to its des tination at Kansas Citj" next week, the fireroom forces raised additional pounds of steam.
