Dougherty’s Address “World’s Successful men—lead- ers of society are weighed in the balance today and found want- ing,” was the topic of the address of Father Dougherty. “The age of revelation is not over,” he said. ‘History is at an- other turning point and as old Daved Harum, our homespun phil- osopher used to say humorously: “When things get to their worst they gen’lly take a turn.” In that fact lies thé explanation of why the bottom doesn’t drop out of the world. Sometimes things get so bad, as history repeats itself—in politics, business and morals— that it would seem that chaos must come next. But chaos doesn’t come. God or chaos? is the ques- tion asked today by the world, and God’s answer is always, God, not chaos. And God works in His own good time and His own way to save men from their follies and crimes, by restoring common sense at just the pychological time. when it seems that sanity is gone for- ever. < “The investigations before the senate committees, the findings of courts of inquiries, national, state and municipal are revelations, as- tounding and amazing to sincere and honest Americans. The world crowned those moneyed-men as successful leaders, the hope an€ Saviors of the world. Colleges and universities pointed to them as moddéls of achievment and a giory of the school—commencement ora- tors, héldthém, up “as inspirations and idols—writers quoted them and sought their secrets—the poor ; working-class envied them and now i program | God, in His own good time and in} His own way, reveals them as mis- ; erable—criminal failures.

Although Miss Connally has nev- er been able to discover a more recent clue of her mother’s where- abouts, she is still confident she will find her somewhere, some- how.” Miss Connally tells the follow- ing story: “She and her younger sister, Ellen Cecilia, now married and living in New York, were kidnap- ed by their father, James Con- nally, in Nashville, in 1901 or 1902. Miss Connally was 5 years old and her sister 3 at the time. “The girl’s father told them their mother was dead, and nei- ther of them had any recollection of her. The father died in 1910 and it-was not until long after- ward that the girls learned they had been kidnaped after their parents separated. “Since then, Miss Connally has been making every effort to lo- cate her mother. The latest clue came last August from her god- mother, who lives in Nashville. She told Miss Connally a sister had seen the missing woman in a Memphis. hospital. Miss Connally queried all the hospitals in Memphis, and also wrote to the Tennessee State reg- istry department, but she found no trace of her mother. Then she appealed to the police in- Mem- phis and other cities, but with the same results. She even had her. story broadcast from various ra- dio stations, but this also proved fruitless. Mrs. Connally, if alive, would be 56.” As soon as Mrs. Angela Hay- man Ritter, former Key Wester, now residing in Washington, read the above story, she recalled a‘ Mrs. Jessie MeMillan who was aj} boarder at Mrs. Ritter’s mother’s home in this city in 1901, and who was nursed through a spell of illness by Mrs. Ritter’s mother, Mrs. Ella Hayman. While at the Hayman Mrs. MeMillan frequently told of the loss of her two little girls, but never mentioned the name of! Connally. called these events which occur-} red during the years 1901 or 1902, she felt certain the woman known to herself and her mother was not Mrs. Jessie MeMillan,! but Mrs. Alice Miles Connally.} According to Mrs. Ritter, it was in 1902 that Mrs. McMillan left | y from Miami and will; ™inds were fed with the best the; Key West for Tex from the registration lists of Mon- roe county. Of these, 20 were white and seven colored. The lists were forwarded to Tallahas- see. In a short time the names of all the colored youth were return- ed. Instructions to make out an- other list of 10 names, three to be used as alternates, were followed} and in a few days forwarded to Tallahssee. Recent instructions from the capital are to the effect that color- ed young men are to be used as the U. S. government stipulates that a part of the quota of 3,000! from Florida must consist of 400 colored youths. Selections of these will be made, it is understood, when the recruit- ing officer arrives next week. JAS.

AT CAPITAL (Florida Presa) TALLAHASSEE, May 25.— Startling facts were disclosed in a suzamary of amounts found due by the State Auditing Depart- ment, The data compiled by State Auditor Bryan Willis covered a period from January 1, 1929 to March 31, 1933, During this period audits of county books disclosed that excess fees totalling $1,836,769.93 had been collected.

The report also gave the cost of operation for the Auditing De- partment forthe period of $314, 415.28, Auditor Willis pointed out that his department was se- verely handicapped by lack of funds and personnel. Demands for audits continue to pour in from all sections of the state and although every effort is being made to undertake the work as soon as possible, lack of auditors ture would remedy this condition by authorixi> the employment of nine additional auditors. and providing for an annual audit of all county books, COLORED DEFENDANT WILL} FLORIDA BRINGS MORRIS’ BODY GO TO TRIAL FOR SECOND TIME ON CHARGE OF KILL- ING HIS WIFE James Roberts.
