GATHERING OF ARMED MEN AT JEFFERY IS REPORTED Logan, W. Va, Aug. 30.—Extaordinary preparations went forward today and coptinned tonight following reports of a gathering of armed men at Jeffery, in the adjacent county of Boone. Reported esti- mates of the number vary from hundreds to thousands. Lack of telephone com- munication with Jeffery precluded con- firmation of figures. Fearing that the men would eross the hills to the Logan county Mide, companies of ex-service men were being formed to- day to reinfome detachments of deputy wheriffs and state police now guarding thé border. In this little town, the county seat, a battalion drilled through- out the afterncon. Additional forces of former soidiers were reported to be com- ing from Welch and McDowell. No word has been received from Ad- jutant General John H. Charnock, who left Charleston today for the “district of | uncertainty” on the ¢akt siope of Spruce Fork Ridge, separating Logan county from Boona. For the first time sines the Logan and MeDowell men took up arme to repell a sossibie invasion. a newspaperman today wag permitted to view part of the defense i .ployed works on the Logan county side. These defenses were those of McDowell men guarding the state highway leading from Logan .to Jeffery. Sheriff “Bill" Hatfield, commanding the McDowell contingent, this' morning made a tour of inspection, and on his return to Logan expressed himself as béing satisfied with the morale of his deputies. The road leads through one wildest sections of the Virgigia_mountains. On the tour = the sheriff frequently stopped in front of hiliside homes. In most instances the occupants came to the door, Whereupon the sheriff introduced himself and as- sured the dwellers that the “fcDowell men were their friends and 'that even more forces could be obtained from his county if necessary. Upon his return to Logan from Mill Creek and Peck's Creek, the first and second lines of defense, respectively, Sheriff Hatfield was informed that_Gov- ernor Morgan had requested him o call more McDowell deputies into Logan. He immediately made arrangement sto have additional forces brought here. of the southern West PRESIDENT INTERCEDES FOE FATHEE OF 19 CHILDEEN ‘Washington, Aug. ~ 30.— President Harding stepped to the front’ today in behalf of the father of nineteen childrén —sixteen of them living—who is working as a porter in'a New York department store at $20 a week. > In sending his congratulations to the mother, Mrs. Domenico Zaccahea, of New York city, whose family group picture recently was printed in a newspaper, the president went back to his own home to tell how his-meother, who had brought up eight children, had expressed the hope prior to her death that she might have been the mother of eight more. v After Mrs. Zaccahea had replied to the president, telling of jthe great burden on the father in feeding and clothing his big {family, Mr.. Harding wrote John Wana- maker, the merchant, asking if something could not be done for him, and Mr. Wana- maker promised to help. The president's letter to the mother follows: “My dear Mrs. Zaceahea: I moticed In the _photogfavure ‘section of one of the Sunday papers a picture of yourself, your husband and your very remarkable fam- ily of sixteen children. - I cannot resist expressing my very cordial congratula- tions. Perhaps I am moved to do so be- cause of a little incident in my own life. My mother bore cight children and raised six of them to maturity. One afternoon shortly before her death, we were all at my home holding a family reunion. and she spoke of having borme eight children and said, with an affection most appeal- ing to me, that she had been happy to hear eight childfen and if she had her life to live oter she would have no desire to change it except to béar eight more. I thought it was a beautiful thing for her to say, and the recollection of it inspired me. to write my very cordial congratula- tions to you and add thereto my best ‘wishes, “Very truly yours, "WARREN G. HARDING.” To this Mre. Zaccahea replied: “My Dear President: With my most grateful pleasure I have the honor to ac- knowledge receipt of your excellency's letter congratulating me for my remark- able family. “l wish to be excused for the delay in acknowledging receipt. “I was very delighted at the news that you come from a large family and your mother was proud of having given birth to' eight children and raised six to ma- turity. “I gave birth to nineteen children, six- teen of whom are alive, as their photo- gTaph is herein enclosed, and I send it to ¥ou as my most precious possession. “My husband and I are never discour- aged of the great task before us, as the older ones help to support the younger, but ohe thing I regret that my husband’s earning capacity is only $20 per week by John Wanamaker of this city. “May I ask of your excellency’s recom- mendation for a better position to my be larger than his present one, so that will give us an opportunity to bring the younger children to maturity with a bet- ter education. “With deep appreciafion of your kind interest, I am . “Most respectfully yours, “MRS. DOMENICO ZACCAHEA." In writing Mr. Wanamaker, the presi- dent, enclosing a copy of Mrs. Zaccahea' appeal, eaid he hoped it' might be possi- ble to find a way “of helping this some- what notabfe family,” aithough he ex- plained that he knew nothing whatever of the merits of this particular case. Mr. Wanamaker replied that Zaccahea spoke very little English. that he had been employed two years and was earn- ing two dollars a week more than others doing similar work. He proised, how- ever, to advance his salary if that could be done, and also to find a job for one of the sixteen children, a son, 22 years old, described “as tall and strong ther.” YOUNG COUPLE KILLED ON HONEYMOON TRIP Cleveland, Aug. 30—The honeymoon trip and the lives of Mr. and Mrs. Edwin C.

James and Raymond W. Schuck, both of Camden, N..J, were electrocuted at the state prison here tonight for the mur- der of David S. Paul, a Camden bank messenger. James was put to death at 8.15.0'clock and Schuck a few minutes later. . James was pronounced dead at 3.20, after receiving three shocks of 1,800 volts and 12 amperes. Schuck entered the chair at 8.22 and was pronounced dead by attending physicians at §.30. He received three shocks of 1,800 volts and 13 amperes. James had to be carried into the death chamber. His éyes were closed and he was twitching nervousiy, while prison attendants lifted him into the chair. Schuck entered the death chamber un- supported and with his head up, He glanced around him at the. witnesses with a smile on his face. Neither man made any statement in the death chamber, For about fifteen minutes before the execution, a song service was held by Reverend Charies H. Elder, Protestant prison chaplain, and Reverend J. W. Lee, a Methodist clergyman of this cny. One sing which the condemned men sans with especial ferver was joined in by the other four men in the death house awaiting execution. It was said. this was the first time a song service has been held here at a time 80 near an exccution. During the exccutions a large crowd gathered outside the prison walls, necessitating the services of the police force of two districts to drive them away. Story of the Crime, Camden, N. J.. Aug. 30.—The murder of David §. Paul, a Camden bank mes- senger, for which Frank J. James and Raymond W. Schuck were put to death in the electric chair at Trenton tonight caused more widespread interest than any crime in south Jersey for wears. Throughout the trials sensational de- velopments came frequently, unfolding Ifke. 2 carefully "comstrudted detectlve story. Paul disappeared on October 5, 1920, with '$40,000 in cash and $30,000 in checks which he was taking from the bank which employed him here to Phil- adelphia for deposit. Eleven days later his body, with the skull crushed was found ‘in a shallow grave in the New Jersey pine belt, near Tabernacle, by hunters. Suspicion fe'l upon the two men who ‘were electrocuted tonight because of the lavishness with which they were spend- ing money, and their revels at a bung- alow near Clementon, which figured con- spicuously in testimony at the trial as “lollypop _cottages” It was not until November, however, that James was ac- cused of Paul's murder. cShuck was ar rested on the following day. Both men were said to have made oon- fessions on November 17. They wers granted separate trials and found guil- ty of murder in the first degree, Tes- timony, aithough conflicting, indicated that - the elderly bank messenger had been invited to ride to the fery by the two men and was brutally assaulted; that he pleaded for his life, and even offered to give up the money if they would spare him. Fach accused the other of striking the blow which finany caused his death. Burial of the loot In the family ‘pot of one of the men at a cemetery was gone into- exhaustively. ‘The murderers were sentenced to the week of April 10 but appeals stayed execution ofthe sentences. New trials however, were denied by the court of errors. Schuck maintained his innocence to the “last, no later than this morning sending his father a telegram, urging him to “fight to the last,” and saving “In God I have faith, and if the worst comes, I die an innocent ma TARIFF ARGUMENTS BEFORE SENATE FINANCE COMMITTEE ‘Washington, Aug. 30,—P.epresentatives of industries of two countries presented arguments before the senate finance committse today striking at rates in the Fordney tariff bill. From England came a de'egation to urge revision downward of rates on high speel steel, while high- er rates on flour and mill feefis were sought by domestic milling interests, and representatives of the fishing industry appeared both to defend and demounce import taxes on their products. Claims of the flour millers, submitted by L. E. Moses of Kansas City, Missouri. pres- jdent of the Southwestern Millers' League and A. L Goetzmann, of Minneapcli president ofthe Millers' Natinal Fed- eration, were for rates which would be compensatory for the 25 cents a bushel duty on wheat. Unless the flour duty was made practically double the house rate, they argued, the duty on wheat would bring no good effect. Mr, Moses asserted that the milling fndustry was making no profits ana that its positions in the business would | would be more perilous without the pro- tectivye duty. On the question of duties on fish,'a difference of opinion was voiced by the home producers and the importers, al- though some New Engiand fishing in- terests favored a low import tax. The Alaskan industry protested against any charges from the house rates, the claim being made by Dan Sutherland, Alaskan delegate in the house, that the bill tax- ed everything the fishermen used in their business but gave them only moderate protection on the results of their la- bors. His argument was supported by A. W. Thomas, of Boston, head of the Prince Williams Sound company, Who declared that the rate of 1% cents a pound on_ herrings bare'y met the high transportation costs- which he had to bear in' delivering fish in New York in competition with the Scandinavians. Without, the duty, he ‘said, the industry, encouraged by ‘the government during the war, would go on the down grade. . Atlantic coast fishing Interests were represented by George E. Willey, of Boston,. who claimed that no good rea- son ‘existed for duties as high as those fixed apd argued that the tax would serve to increase.the cost of living “to the poor folke.” This phase of the argu- ment was supplemented by Mrs, Jennie D. Heath, of New York, president of the National Housewives eague. She said also that high duties probably would result in decreased consumptien of fish.

ANNUAL CONVENTION OF THE AMERICAN BAR ASS'N Cincinnati, Aug. 30.—A day of sec- tional meetings devoted largely to re- ports of committees and discussion occu- pied delegates and visitors who poured into Cincinnati todayv for the forty-fourth annual convention of the American Bar association. Prominent barristers from all sections of the country were present for the business meetings, auxiliary to the program of addresses Which begins tomorrow before the general convention. Elihu Root, former secretary of state, made two brief addresses today in which he urged the bar to play an important rele in creating public opinion and in ed- ucating young lawyers in the fundamen- tals of the law. “Modification of the principles of law is going on at greater speed and in larger scope than ever before,” Mr. Root told today’s session of the legal education sec- tion, of which he is chairman. ‘There are decisions on both sides , of ‘every question you can imagine. Changes in the administration of law have forced themselves even to the attention of the public. The application of law is so widely different from that of fifty Years ago that some guiding line must be found. “We must seek for the principles of common law, which is being slowly mod- ified by thousand sof statutes and de- cisions of courts of last resort. We have come to the point where we must have done with desultory discussion and come to conclus #1s.. We must have a’ system of education refuiring the background of the Jaw which explains the true method and scope of law The former secretary of state urged that the bar association exercise strict supervision of lawyers of the coming generation, so that the legal profession might have competent men to administer the law. Miss Annette Adams of San Franeisco was one of the speakers before the. crim- | inal law section. urging swift prosecution of those charged with erime. “The effect of example to the public and of reform for the crimipal is lost if there is long delay between his arrest and his final eonvicffon and incarcera- tion,” Miss Adams declared. “Innocent men, too, should have an early oppor- tunity to establish their #nnocence.” Forged fingerprints were exilained to the same section by Milton Carlson, a fingerprint expert of Los Angeles, who told the lawyers that the first thing to prove where fingerprints were involved in crime cases was whether the print was made by a human hand. He explained how fingerprints could be forged, dispos- ing of the pofular theory, he said, that fingerprints were infallible proof. Delegates to the convention in confer- ence today made reports of the activi- ties of their local and state bar associa- tions. The association of attorneys gen- eral and the commissioners of uniform state laws concluded their sessions today prior to the general convention tomor- row.
