Clapp explained that when he made the statements touching on Senator Underwood he meant to convey the idea that Senator Underwood had supported legislation favorable to railroads and other corporations be- cause he belleved in the philosophy that private Interests could best op- erate the resources of the country for the public welfare. “We disagree with phy,” Clapp said. Senitors Caraway, Butler of Mas- sachusetts and Sterling of South Da- kota, Republicans, sharply disagreed with the witness as to the interpre- tation of the language in the edito- rial. Clapp agreed with them after some argument” that there was no specific statement in the bill calling for the lease to the Alabama Power Company. After he had read his prepared statement, which included a history of what was termed the ‘“power trust,” and had answered questions, Clapp told the committee he had no other evidence to present to support his statements In the editorlal and that he had no names of witnesses to suggest that philoso- DECEMBER 19, 1924. FATHER WINS FIGHT TO REGAIN CHILDREN J. J. Coursey’s Court Victory Ends Chapter in Long Story of Domestic Ills. James J. Coursey's successful fight in the courts in Macon, Ga., for the custody of his twor children, Bertha, 9, and Shelton, 6, terminated today another chapter in the long story of his domestic troubles. It appears that he was given custody of the children when divorce proceedings in a court in a Southern State were decided in his favor more than two years ago, and he moved to this city, where he lived with his second wife and chil- dren at 320 C street northeast. The latter part of October his chil- dren left home to attend the morning session at Carberry hool and dls- appeared. Coursey appealed to the po- lice, and Detective Howard Vermilion was assigned to conduct an investi- | gation, Mrs. Piney Audrey Coursey, mother APEX ELECTRIC WASHER Thousands of satis- fied users in Wash- ington. Strong oscillating of the children, had been in com- munication with the police from her home in Atlanta, Ga, more than a vear before the disappearance of the children, and the advice the police gave her was that she consult prose- cuting officers at home. Coursey tralled his wife and chil- dren to Asheville, N. C., shortly after the disappsarance of brother and sis- ter. A warrant for alleged kidnaping wes obtained, but the local police, realizing civil proceedings would be resorted to in an effort for the father to regain custody of the children, > ay would not send to Asheville for the mother. The divorced husband, determined to regain custody of the childrenm, trafl- ed his wife and children to Macon, Ga., where the recent court procesd- ing resulted in his being given cus- tody of the children.
