NEWSPAPERMEN,
MADE EXPOSURE
Men “Listened In” While
Young Davis Was Con
ferring With the Man for
Whom He Got Pardon.
Topeka, Knns., Jan. 10 (By the Asso
ciated Press). —A bomb shell was dropped'
in Kansas today with tlje revelation thnt-
Bussell G. Davis, 28 year old son of Gov.
Jonathan M. Davis, had accepted $1250;
and delivered a pardon to Fred W. Poll-1
man. former LaCygne bank president and:
convicted forger.
The transaction took place in a room
at the National Hotel here, and was ex-;
posed by the Kansas City Journal, whose
representatives in conjunction with Poll-'
man had set n trap for the GovernorV
son. ;
Governor Davis, whose term erpires
next Monday, admitted that his son had
been “inveigled into accepting the money”
and asserted that the affair was a “frame
up by my political enemies to get me.”
Young Davis accepted SI,OOO from
Pollman, while two Journal representa
tives, a shorthand reporter, and several
other witnesses listeiied in an adjoining
room by the aid of a telephonic device
hidden behind a curtain in Pollman’s
room, said the Journal's news story.
Receiving the SI,OOO payment, the
Governor’s son left the hotel and return
ed with the pardon and then received
$250, said the newspaper. He then was
confronted by the Journal reporters and
the witnesses with them, and threatened
with arrest. He returned the $250 re
ceived on delivery of the pardon left the
hotel, and returned with SI,OOO.
Young Davis asserted that his father
had no knowledge of the transaction.

clared Pollman had capitaliaed his friend
ship in plotting to gain a pardon through
young Davis, and to “frame” the Gov
ernor.
Pollman in an affidavit declared young

at a conference in Kansas City on Thurs
day. Previously, Pollman affirmed that
he had visited young Davis at thd Davis
farm near Bronson. Kansas, where the
latter discussed the payment of money

he had been told by Glenn A. Davis, who
was sentenced to life imprisonment at
Independence, Kans., for murder, that
Governor Davis solicited the payment of
money to his son for executive clemency.
Edison’s Collection of Voices.
New York, Jon. 10.—Unknown to
most people, Thomas A. Edison poa
spuses a collection of phonograph rec
ords of the voices of famous people
which will probably be of much interest
to future generations. Thames to a
special chemical substance, the records
are expected to last, barring accidents,
for ten thousand years.
The collection represents the work of
many years, and contains records of the
voices of men like King Edward,
Tennyson, Cardinal Manning, the late
King of Italy, Gladstone, the Marquis
of Salisbury, and King George, as well
ns many eminent men and women of
America.
Gladston spoke into the recording in
strument on the occasion of a big din
ner in London, and his voice, sending
hearty wishes to the inventor, can be
heard as clearly today as when he was
alive.
The King of Italy’s special message
takes the form of a request that Edison
should accept a decoration in recogni
tion of “your having wrested another of
her most jealiusly guarded secrets from
Nature.”
Marshal Joffre’s New Battle.
Paris, Jan. 10-—A certain chemist in
Paris receives a regular visit once a
week from a somewhat portly military
man, who tried his weight- on the weigh
ing machine, paying .the regular charge
of a few cents. If an inctedse is register
ed he frowns; if there is a decrease he
smiles. Qute a commonplace incident,
but the man is Marshal Joffre. And to
nil appearances he is just as much in
earnest about this fight as he Was about
the one against the Germans.

CORSET FOR SLENDER FORM
BUT NONE FOR STOUT LADY
j Woman Physician Earnestly Protests the
Dictum of Sir Bruce Porter Against
Stays.
I Baltimore, Jan. 10.—The dictum pro
nounced by Sir Bruce Porter, famous
British physician, that corsets are dam
nable was contested today by Dr. Caro
line Hedger, of the Elizabeth McCor
mick Foundation in Chicago, in an ad
dress here today. "Bad for fat women—'
. yess” said Dr. Hedger. "But no( for thin
! women. Thin women really need tile
; stays. They havdn’t anything ou. the eut
,side to keep .what’s on the inside in
; place. Corsets keep the internal organs
! where they belong.”
The British physician warned mothers
not to let their daughters wear corsets,
saying it is “unatnral for a woman to
have a figure that is described as boy
ish.”
Dr. Hedger says: “Contrary to gen- j
oral belief, corsets are really healthful
for a thin woman. A fat woman is fat
because of glandular trtfeble, or because
she neglects to exercise. Corsets won’t
help her any. They only squash the
body and make her appear to be slen
der—sometimes . With a lfttle co-opera
tion on her part, any reputable physi
cian can cure her ailment.” Dr. Hedger
said she has faitli in the modern flap- |
per. “But they shouldn't smoke and
drink until they are at least 25 years (
old,” she added. “No man Or Woman
has finished his or her growth until
that age is reached.”
FEARED TROUBLE WITH
NEGRO IN CITIISS NORTH ;
Wayne Sheriff, Back From Connecticut. '
Says People Oppose Return.
Goldsboro, Jan. 9. —Sheriff Grant, of
Wayne county, who has just returned
from Meriden, Conn., with Elijah John
son, alleged slayer of John Smith, 1
diminutive tax driver, about five years '
ago, remarked today that if Johnson
bad retained an attorney that he be- '
Moves that he would not have been able 1
to have brought, his prisoner back to
Goldsboro. -
“As I walked through the crowded
railway stations of the north with 1
Johnson handcuffed by my side, hun- I
dreds of persons asked me if my prison
er Would be lynched when we reached
the south,” said Sheriff Grant. I dread
ed going through New York city ns the
Meriden police had warned me that I
was liable to have trouble, so deeply
rooted is the belief in the metropolis
that most negro prisoners, especially 1
those eharged with murder, are finally 1
lynched- Since Johson agreed to vo'un- ;
tarily return here and I ‘had no extradi
tion papers. I thought that I might ex
perience difficulty in getting by the
police with my man.”
Other Wayne officers assert that they
have had thv same experience when they
journey north after negro prisoners,
claiming that the hund-cuffing of negro
prisoners seems to put a sour taste in
the months of the northerners.

the, oldest necklace in the world, 75,000
years old, adornment of a cave woman of
Southern France today is in the. pos
session of Frank G. Logan; vice president
of the Art Institute of Chicago.
“As far as is known, these beads are
the oldest objects fashioned by man ever
unearthed,” said W. J. Sherwood, of the
Art Institute.
The beads are fashioned of ivory and
deer antler and polished stone. Some
bear tiny, crude carvings. They were ob
tained from an archeologist in France and
were found in a cave in La Blanchard in
the Department of Dordogne. From the
strata in which they were found, It ia
believed they are products of the fourth
glacial period in Europe.

SfILL HOPEFUL
Announced That So Far As
Known at Capital There
No Need for the Officials
to Worry.
Paris, Jan. 10 (By the Associated
Press). —The Anglo-American negotia
tions on the subject of the American rep
aration claims appeared from surface
indications here today to have reached an
acute stage.
The British delegation, it is understood,
found the representatives of the United
States rather indifferent to arguments
on the subject that appeal to the allies,
because Amrfca is free from some of the
complications with which the allies are
entangled. .
The detachment of the Americans
from the generality of allied differences
was evidenced today by the fact that
the American representatives were absent
from an important meeting held at the
ministry of finance, attended by the ft
nance ministers of Great Britain, France,
Italy and Belgium.
There is unconcealed apprehension in
certain quarters, lest the Ametficans who
have no other interest here than in the
question of the application of a share
of the Dawes plan receipts to the pay
ment of their war damages and occupa
tion expenses, might find it unnecessary
to return to the full conference if they
are unable to reach what they regard a«
a reasonable understanding in the dis
cussion with the British.
Causing No Concern ih Washington.
Washington, D. C., Jan. 10 (By the
Associated Press). —The trend of the Par
is negotiations relative to the American
claims against Germany is causing no
concern in official circles here.
Official advices from Paris have given
qo hint that anything approaching a
deadlock has developed.
the general principles of the pro-
ItbsiM agreement have beep sanctipjied ak
Sw r vnrioife interested cßp+tute. however,
it is impossible for the conference to
proceed rapidly with details.

Motion Picutre Films Sent to Rural
Districts.
Raleigh, Jan. o.—Fifty miles of motion
picture films are being sent out weekly
by the visual education division of the
North Carolina department of public in
struction to the 75 public schools of the
state equipped with motion picture ma
chines, according to James B. William
son, director of this division.
“These films,” said Mr. Williamson,
“are sent free of all charges, except those
incident to their transportation. They
include various subjects. Some of the
films are purely educational in their na
ture. Others are designed to amuse the
people W\io see them. No film of doubt
ful chqraeter is ever purchased by the
department or sent out for exhibition.
Each is thoroughly censored before we
turn it loose. I believe good, whole
some pictures are helpful.
“These programs,” continued Mr. Wil
liamson, “go largely to thet rural dis
tricts. They i*each people who, other
wise could not enjoy screen productions.
We buy many programs already filmed
and, on the other hand; we make many
films ourselves.’’
Mr. Williamson is planning to take
pictures of the inauguration of Gover
nor McLean?- These will be shown in
the rural schools equipped with motion
picture machines. Also, he recently
took pictures of the opening of new in
lets in eastern North Carolina.

WANTS RADIO STATION AT
THE N, C. ( STATE COLLEGE
Senator Grady Wants It For Benefit of
People of Riii-al Districts.
(My the Associated Pma.l
Raleigh, Jan. 10i-Senator Paul D.
Grudy, of Johnston, favors the erection
of a radio broacasting station at the
North Carolina State College of Agri
culture and Engineering, to cost, if nec
essary, $25,000 and stands ready to in
troduce the necessary legislation. “The
State should own and operate such a
station,” he said. *1 am so thoroughly
conviiA-ed that it wogld meet with popu
lar approval that I would not hesitate
to favor a liberal appropriation. It
seems to me that $25,000 would not be
too much to begin with. However, 1
am going to write egperts and find out
how much it wil take. Also, I am
planning a series of conferences with
Captain George Cog, of the electrical
faculty of State College, who, I believe,
can render valuable assistance, on ac
count of his record as a radio expert dur
ing the World War.”
Continuing, Senatdr Grady indicated
that when he has received the data de
sired he will draw e bill providing for
the establishment of a state-owned and
state operated static* of no mean di
mensions. ,
r-, 'There are ttobriSUk-of people in Ihe '
rural districts,” lie- went on, “whose only
amusement comes from the -outside world.
Comparatively few are able to buy ex
pensive receiving sets. With the es
tablishment of*a station- in Raleigh, they
could purchase inexpensive receiving sets
and enjoy radio just like people who
have plenty of moriey.
“Then, aside from the purely amuse
ment features that would be furnished
our people, they could be kept informed
on subjects very vital to them. I have
in mind particularly agriculture. For
instance, weather conditions and crop
reports could be broadcast daily. This
would greatly aid the farmer. The ex
tension division of the college could use
he service to promote the things it is
trying to do, and if the State superin
tendent of public instruction so desired,
he could hold a statewide teachers’ hieet
ing once a week.
‘“Again, there is the State highway
commission. If such a station is es
tablished, Mr. Page and his assistants
could keep our people constantly in
formed about detours, the opening of
new routes and the condition Os the high
ways generally. In rainy weather this
service would be very valuable.”
Senator Grady plans to go thorough
ly into the suhject and to push his fight
for a state owned broadcasting station.
The State College is the logical place
for it, he thinks. This view was also
expressed by Senator O. B. Moss, of
Nash county,. who declared, “I am
thoroughly in sympathy with the move
ment. and at the proper time I shall give
it my active support.”

DAIRYING IN MECKLENBURG
Has Been the Leading Animal Industry
For Several Years.
(By the Associated Preti.f
Charlotte, Jan 10—The fact that dairy
ing has been the leading animal indus
try in Mecklenburg county for a num
ber of years is attributed by Kope Elias,
county agent, to the milk demand of
Charlotte and the far-sightedness of the
farmers who believed that through dairy
ing they eould increase their soil fertil
ity, increase their crops and build up
-and at the same time have a steady in
come from their dairying work.
Dairying is still growing as an indus
try in Mecklenburg county, states Mr.
Elias, but it is being carried on in con
nection with truck farming. He as
serted that dairying had outstripped cot
ton in the income returns to the farmers
of the county, and added that it takes
a more capable farmer to produce good
milk than it does to produce real cot
ton.
According to the county agent, in or
der to get more and better cows in the
county to .help along the dairy program,
a former county agent organized a “block
bull association” with nine Jersey block
bulls, which operated for one year. A
carload of purebred Jersey heifers was
also sold to the farmers and from these
high producing cows have been reared
throughout the county.
One of these purebred heifers brought
into the county was Princess Elise, Mr.
Elias explained, who made the follow
ing achievements during the year October
■fcSf
fat, 5.88 per cent; fat 1003.74. This
amount of fat is said to make her the
champion cow of all breeds in the South
in fat producing.
During this period Princess EHse con
sumed, according to the county agent,
thre eand one-fourth tons of grain, two
of good legume hay, two of silage, three
fourth tons of dried beet pulp. She
grazed in a cool pasture over a 200-day
period and was fed on specially prepared
mixture of minerals. The total cost of
feed was given as $3Ol while the cost
of her products was given as $875.51 or
a profit of $574.51.
Princess Elise lias a daughter. ;t was
stated, that has just finished a record
yenrs of 764 pounds of fat at the age of
three years and five months.
“The farmers learned from the block
ball association,” says Mr. Elias, ‘the
value of purebred sires in breeding bet
ter cows. There are purebred bulls in
all parts of the county today and every
year the farmers attend purebred sales
and buy more sires and cows.
“This year I was able to place four
purebred sires and fourteen males among
the farmers of the county. Other farm
ers of the county brought in fifteen pure
bred sires ard females of their own ac
cord.
“In the beginning of dnirying in the
county, there was stressed the produc
tion end of the dairying business and
production was increased faster than
consumption. A milk campaign was- put

WITH “COZY*’ DOLAN
Stenographic Record of In
terview He Had With Dol
an Is Made Public by Base

with O’Connell about O’Connell’s story
of his attempt to bribe the Philadelphia
shortstop Sands to throw a game to the
Giants in the critical days of the pen
