OFFICIAL DEFENDS HIRING OF CARNES Even Neighbors Did Not Know of Prison Terms, Bap- tist Head Declares. By the Associated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., November 11 to an appeal to replace funds of the Board alleged to have been embezzled by Clinton S. Carnes was expressed here yesterday by Dr. George W. Truett, president of the Southern Baptist Con- vention. Speaking to more than 700 Georgla Baptist lay leaders and ministers in one of a series of meetings being held throughout the South, Dr. Truett urged support of all members of the denomi~ nation in making “Baptist honor day” en_November 11 a success. Dr. Arch C. Cree, acting executive secretary of the board, told how Carnes, the board’s former treasurer, is alleged to have embezzled $953,000, the amount he said would be nought from Baptist churches of the South on November 11. The speaker said Carnes was em- ployed as treasurer after he had audited the board’s books as an employe of an Atlanta firm of auditors. Carnes’ prison terms—one in Missouri and one in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, ‘where he was sent from Birmingham— received little publicity, Dr. Cree said. “Even neighbors in Birmingham did not know he had been tried and con- victed,” Dr. Cree said. “It was war time. When people would ask, ‘W is Mr. Carnes?' the reply would be: “He's away, working for the Federal Government, on a secret mission.’ “After serving his term in Federal prison, Carnes came back to Atlanta and asked for his old job with the audit- ing firm. He was re-employed. Men were scarce and because of his great facility with books he soon was in the swim of things again.” It was then, he said, that Carnes first came in contact with the board. “One of the greatest bonding com- panies in the country investigated Carnes gnd unhesitatingly bonded him. I am firmly convinced that any 18 men placed in the same position as the members of the Home Mission Board and facing similar conditions would have done the same thing.” ——— ILLINOIS IS HOST TO JOURNALISM FRAT Sigma Delta Chi to Hold Annual Convention at Northwest- ern University.

Women to Get 2,000,000 Letters FromFrance Nov.11 By the Assoclated Press. &LE HARVE, France, November 1. —Two million letters, the largest malling ever sent from France, started to America yesterday on the French steamer Rochambeau. They are timed for delivery to American women about Armistice day. The letters have been addressed by hand by Prench war widows, and are sealed. They bear French stamps instead of the customary printed stamp licensed in large business mailings, so that American women, getting a letter from France on Armistice day, will think of the country where many sent their sons or husbands to war. Because of that feature of the business the French. government encouraged the mailing, made by a Rue de la. Pais perfumer. LAMPLIGHTER TO GO. San Francisco Authorities Order End of Gas Lights. SAN FRANCISCO (#).—The lamp- lighter, glcturesque person of a time long past in most American citles, but has continued to wandef at sunset up and down the cobbled hills of old San Francisco, is soon to pass out of the picture. There are still 3,000 such lamps in this city, but the board of supervisors has issued the order which will elimi~ nate the last set of 100—those that in the carriage days gazed down upon the Stanfords, Huntingtons and the Floods on Nob Hill—within a year. Boosting improvement clubs obtained the order on behalf of a generation of San Francisco which has no sym A)uhy for the flickering gas lamp and de- manded the more modern electric light. y | $2,500,000 yearly for licenses. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO GEORGIA STUDENTS PLANINSANITY PLEA Alienist Visits Cells of Youths Indicted in Two Murders During Hold-ups. By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, November 1.— Insanity was a probable plea in defense of George Harsh and Richard Gallogly. wealthy college students who are ac- cused of killing two: victims in a series of. hold-ups, a§ the defense moved to- day in secret on behalf of the youths. Solicltor General John A. BoYkin, who learned that Dr. Frank Eskridge, Atlanta alienist, had visited the two boys in their Fulton County jail cells, where they arg awaiting trial under murder indictments, immediately an- nounced that he would be prepared for an insanity defense. The solicitor would not reveal the State’s case against the two youths, one of whom has confessed that he killed E. H. Meeks, a grocery clerk, and Willard Smith, a drug store manager, in a series of seven:hold-ups. A Harsh, who made the confession, said he shot the men and that Gallogly drove an’ automobile in which they drove away. Police said Gallogly had made a partial oral confession. Harsh and Gallogly were fitting into prison routine easily. One of Harsh's cellmates is Clinton S. Carnes, former treasurer of the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board, who is awaiting trial on charges of having embezzled $1,000,000 in church funds.

Scott McBride, general superin- tendent of the Anti-Saloon League, charged yesterday that Gov. Smith in his Baltimore speech had deliberately misrepresented Woodrow Wilson's pro- hibition views. “At Baltimore,” said Dr. McBride, he again sought to Ylve the impres- that Woodrow Wilson opposed the stead act because he vetoed this measure. This is deliberate misrepre- sentation of Wilson's views. In his message to Congress accompanying his veto message President Wilson express- ly stated that his signature was with- held because the Volstead act was combined in the same bill with a meas- ure for the enforcement of war-time prohibition. Since the war had been concluded 'it was President Wilson's view that the two measures should have been separated.” Dr. McBride cited President Wilson's support of local option in New Je) sey, his signature of war-time pro- for Flavor!

Finney Overrules Petition to Halt Alaskan Monopoly. One fur-farming lease to one person or organization in Alaska, and no more, is the ruling laid down today by First Assistant Secretary E. C. Finney of the | Interior Department, who has overruled a motion for rehearing filled by John W. McCord on the subject. McCord complained that a previous ruling of the department rested upon the ground | that the holding of more than one fur- farming lease by any person, corpora- tion or association was not only opposed to administrative policy, but contrary to mopnrpounndlmalllnuntolma The object of the limitation, the opinion held, is to prevent monopolistic control of lands for fur farming.
