PROPRIETOR OF ‘DEATH FARM’ FOUND GUILTY John S. Williams Convicted of Murdering Negroes on His Plantation. MERCY RECOMMENDED I.COURT norSE. COVINGTON. Ga.. April 9.—John S. Williams today was found guilty of the murder of negro peons on his plantation in Jasper County. The jury recommended mercy. This automatically fixes the sentence at life Imprisonment. The jury returned its verdict at 9:50 a. m. It had deliberated over the case since 5:51 p. m. yesterday. < Judge Hutcheson immediately sentenced Williams to life imprisonment. TENSE SILENCE AS VERDICT IS READ. There was a- tense silence as the verdict was read and as the Judge pronounced sentence. Williams stood erect, betraying no emotion. His wife, however, after hearing the sentence, clutched her husband around the neck, laid her head on his shoulders and burst int> violent weeping. For fifteen minutes after the sentence was pronounced she wept and her sobs gradually increased until she was practically hysterical. Her daughters, three of them, joined with their mother in weeping. Col. Greene F. Johnson moved at once for anew trial. “The motion for anew trial has been filed. I have just hegnn to fight," was the response of Colonel Johnson to Inquiries If there was anything he had to say. “The verdict is contrary to evidence, contrary to law and without evidence to support it.” he said. SOLICITOR GENERAL REFUSES STATEMENT. Solicitor General Brand shook his head when asked If he had anything to say. “I never gloat over the misfortunes of other folk,’’ he said. Williams shook his head when approached by reporters. Col. William H. Howard, special prosecutor, who assisted in the case, was not present. He left for his home in Augusta, after his collapse at the close of argument before the Jury yesterday. Williams Immediately was taken back to the Newton County Jail. Mrs. Williams and one of her daughters were unable to leave the courtroom without assistance. Judge Hutcheson thanked the Jury, dismissed Its members and adjourned the special term of court which had been Called to try the case. POLITICAL FIGHT BACK OF MARKET FISTIC BATTLE (Continued on Page Two.) Jews or If they are polecats or Democrats. they all get equal treatment.’’ MONEY TALK IS DENIED. “Nothing was said about money,” said McGee, commenting on the prices. 9 Peirce, an out-and-out Shank supporter, made this statement: “The stand space is limited to seven feet and McGee tells me that the Downey boy's stand was over that allotment. The father of the Downey boy came to me and told me that his boy might be punished if be got Into court. I told him that one ol my men had been struck In the face and that I would stand by McGee because he was obeying orders. The father then said that he would tell the newspapers that McGee was trying to graft. I have confidence In McGee and that is the reason I pnt him in charge of the stand*. t never heard of any money talk until today.” Mr. Peirce said that “City Market Master Lihau and myself are going in different political directions” and that “Libau might feel a little out of sorts" With him. JANITRESS TELLS OF SHANK TALK. On the heels of this trouble Mrs. Harriet Cleammones, a negro Janitress era ployed at the courthouse on the third floor, stated that Custodian Peirce had told her that if she didn’t support Shank that she would be without a Job. “Several times,’’ said Mrs. Cleammones who is a widow, “Mr. Peirce has told me that if I didn't vote for Mr. Shank for mayor another face would be present at the courthouse. Several times he has spoken that way to me. It is necessary that I work. I try to be honest and I am a Christian. I hare tried to carry ont the rules here. It hurts me to have people talk to me that way." It Is understood that Mrs. Cleammones Is for Mr. Howe for mayor. She refused to discuss who she Is for and laid that Is her “own business.” * “I was Just Joking,” said Peirce. “She came Info my office smiling the other morning, and I said if she didn’t get tight she might lose the smile." It Is evident that all courthouse Janitors, when they talk, are for Mr. Shank. Church Meetings for the Week Maple Road M. E. Church will hold revival services next week, opening April 10.

SHELTON SAYS REJECTION OF BIDS MISTAKE (Continued From rage One.) sort of conditions, with the same results, two years in succession. I know you desired this year to do business upon the business-like basis of entering into annual contracts at the annual contract making period, Just as otter busl ness institutions do. You desired to adapt the sources of supply to the sources of consumption as concerned transportation facilities, quality and kinds of coal, and extent of tonnage to be used. If that plau is not put into early execution in my opinion you will be confronted with the same situation next July or August with which you were confronted in 1919 and 1920. I believe it will be unfair to the inmates of the institutions to take the chance involved in that course of procedure. “It will be unfair to the. producers of coal to ask them to maintain a readiness to serve the State at their oam cost, and then to serve the State only to the exetent that he sees fit to call upon them to do. I am afraid that the situation may arise where, by any one of a number of possible combinations of circumstances which might arise, that the State institutions may find themselves In a serious situation with regard to fuel supplies. It does not seem possible that we can avoid a serious coal shortage again next fall I have watched this business carefully and I know that when production is being had on a basis of only 35 per cent to 40 per cent, as is now the case, that railroads operating only partially wth reserve supplies being burned, and with the domestic eoni sumer out of the market, that there can | be only one result within six or seven months from the present time. Industry i must survive, the railroads must operate | more go as to servo revived industry, i current requirements for coal will be in ! creased not only by these last two facj tors, bat by the additional factor that i there will be no storage supplies at all. !FORECASTS DIFFICULTY. "Industries and public utilities and : railroads will be thinking about patting aside storage supplies for the winter season. The domestic consumer will he wanting to till his cellar. There will suddenly arise a peak of demand. Transportation facilities cannot meet the peak of demand, no matter how much facility exists or how much capacity exists for mining the coal itself. It seems to me that the State by its present course is precipitating its institutions into that kind of a difficult situation when no necessity exists for its doing so. “In what I have said here I do not mean to criticise nor to lay blame on anyone. I feel it my duty to lay stress on facts which might not appeal as clearly to those who have not been through th“ severe exjierience I have been through in the effort to keep the State institutions supplied with fuel and other necessities.’ Circus Injunction Case Up Saturday Judge W. W. Thornton of Superior Court, room 4. will hear, next Saturday morning, the petition of Bert Cool. 2220 West M'ashington street, seeking to restrain the city of Indianapolis and Robert H. Eryson, city controller, from issuing a license to the Selis-Floto Circus Company.

; METHODIST ASKS CENTENARY AID Speaker at North Indiana Conference Urges Campaign Support. Special to The Times. EL WOOD, Ind., April 9—Bishop Frederick D. Leete presided at the North Indiana conference today. The Rev. R. J. Wade, D. D., formerly of Elkhart, corresponding secretary of the committee on conservation and advance, Chicago, gave the principal address. “During the last eighteen months comprising the first year and a half of the great Methodist Centenary campaign, there has been paid on the Centenarysubscriptions $24,473,515.39," declared Dr. Wade. “This means that Methodist contributions have been trebled and quadrupled since this huge undertaking has begun less than two y-ears ago. The Chicago area has contributed over one tenth of the entire amount, and the Rock River Conference which includes the city of Chicago, has contributed nearly $1,000,000. Most of this money is to be expended in centenary projects within Chicago and vieiniiy. It is confidently expected that Methodist people will contribute larger amounts in coming months, enabling the church to more rapidly complete the reconstruction program. An immediate program of udded publicity will be Inaugurated in all the churches Men who are conversant with the results already achieved will carry this information to practically every Methodist and community. "This is no time for a pessimistic note. There is unrealized power in the Methodist Church, Out church was never more alive and prepared for Christian undertakings than at this hour. A quarter of a million new members this year can be duplicated in 1921. “These are significant days for the church. We will either march up or down. Methodists must hold sacred the centenary quota and subscription as a contract to he met. The ne.eds arising as a result of the centenary achievements and unforeseen world situations, calls on the constantly increasing and prosperous Methodist people to meet their Christian obligation in stewardship, uud help quickly to heal the hurt of a suffering and dying world. “I lielieve in conservation. A campaign must be inaugurated to bring back the seu.se of responsibility to every Methodist bishop, district superintendent, pastor anil layman for the faithful collection of every centenary pledge. It is morally binding. We are all stewards. No official can do it. No group alone can do it, but we can all accomplish the result. "I heliovo in advance. There are churches which can, under able leadership move considerably beyond their original overplus subscriptions. Our young people must hear and heed the challenge of life service, our intercessors must pray more effectively. Then the second year of the centenary will l>e successful." FACTS SHATTER COLLEGE DEAN’S WEAK DEFENSE (Continued From Face One.) mysteriously left them and who are anxiously Inquiring as to possible means of recovering them. In nearly every instance the owner nt the pet makes inquiry ns to how- the medical college can be compelled to permit a sennb of its “death kennels” to satisfy the dog owner that his pet has not been taken there to lie subjected to the knives of the medical students. ENTREE BY SEARCH WARRANT ONLY So far ns is known the only method by w hich the public may obtain entrance to the dog department of the medical college Is through the swearing out of a search warrant and several warrants have been issued in the city court recently for that purpose. None of the stolen pets have been found at the medical college, however. It was the practice of the persons who obtained dogs for the college to confine these dogs some place in the city for from ten days to two weeks before delivering them to the college and during this period of confinement the dogs were so treated that they lost all evidence of ever having been pets. “CANNOT ISE BOTHERED BY VISITORS.” Dr. W.’ I>. Catch, who has charge of the operations on dogs at the college recently Insisted that "the -logs we get are always emanclated and show plainly that they are not pets." Dr. Gab-h also refused to agree that persons who had lost dogs might visit the kennels for the purpose of ascertaining whether tbeir pets were there, asserting that the college “could not be bothered" by such visitors. The result of this attitude on the part of the college authorities has been the issuance of search warrants by the city court whenever the owner of a dog has reason to believe that bis p.q might be Imprisoned there. A valuable Boston bull belonging to C. W. Stevens, 3508 North Salem street, was stolen last night from the family car which was parked in front of J 215 East M’ashington street. The dog ts 9 years old, a brindle with white mark Ings on the chest and between the eyes and has three white feet. He has lost the sight of one eye. 'MAY GOD CITY POOR CREATURES’ Editor Indiana Daily Times: I have read with great Interest every word published in the Times In regard to the cruel and Inhuman treatment given the dumb animals confined at the medical college and can only say, as many others should do, may God pity the poor, defenseless dumb creatures who are helpless and at. the mercy of such a set ol human brutes—and as to the hoy at Rushvlile, be need only he allowed hio freedom a while longer to become another hardened criminal, who will not stop a*, any crime to obtain a few dollars. M’hen he can no longer obtain the dogs which, no doubt, have been pets in good homes, he might easily become another like Cantrell who, some of us remember not so many years ago, robbed the graves of a cemetery not far away from Indianapolis to procure human bodies for some of the same scientific (?) people to experiment on. T am a friend of all dumb animals and think that any person, or persons, who would deliberately inflict pain upon them, should bo punished the same as any other criminal. If a nym out of work and with a family of children who are cold and hungry. should be caught on the right of way of the railroad company [licking up coal the law would quickly get busy. Yet here are we, knowing these things that i are plainly deserving punishment, letting the poor dogs who are in those “death kennels" be operated on “each Tuesday and Thursday," while Dr. “Pfafflin” ts convincing the investigation (?) committee that all these stories of cruelty are “lies.” I am personally acquainted with a poor widow who owns a dog for which she paid $3 tax and $3 for a license tag and still never allows it on the street for fear it will be stolen. Have we got a right to expect protection in this respect after we have complied with the law? I want to commend you most sincerely In your fearless stand for compelling better treatment. Let ns hope to completely do away with all this “scientific’’ butchery, about which the other dally papers are maintaining such a “discreet | aliens.” L. A. WITHAM. I Indianapolis, Ind. .

LIVE SECLUDED FOR 39 MONTHS IN HOTEL ROOM Dog Only Companion of Two Women Who Opened Door to No One. HOBOKEN, N. J., April 9.—Tbe two weirdest hermits ever discovered had ended their strange isolation today in a hos pital, where both are suffering from tuberculosis. The recluses—Miss Carrie Sunderland, 60, and her niece, Mrs. Fannie Miller, 40, both of Kansas City, Mo.—had spent the last three years and three mouths in a room of Meyers Hotel in absolute seclusion. Surrounded by the teeming life of a busy city, they were as Isolated as though they were living at the north pole. They never saw any one, and were never seen I until the police removed them. A dog was their only companion. The women came here from the Gregorian Hotel in New York City. They ordered all their food by mail, the letters being shoved under the door. Canned goods, fruit and newspapers were left outside the door, which was opened only when no one was near. HARRIS STICKS TO ELWELL STORY ‘Mrs. Fairchild’ Convinces Police of Her Innocence. BUFFALO. X. Y„ April 9 .—“I hope the police think I’m a liar. Then I can go free and they can do the worrying." : Roy Harris, self styled accomplice in ! the murder of Joseph B. Elwell, New York clubman, said this today just after having undergone another cross examination during which he stuck stubbornly to his story of the killing, i “Just let them march the women in the Elwell case before me,” he said, “and I’ll sure pick out Mrs. lairchlld who paid Bill liunkin and me to kill Elwell.” Harris identified “.Mrs. Fairchild” by | photograph and the woman was ques tinned by detectives in New York. She : indignantly denied the charge and con- j vlneed the police of the Innocence. CONVICT SMITH OF MANSLAUGHTER Jury Holds Shooting of Miss Handier Voluntary.

Special to The Times. COLUMBUS. Ind, April 9 J Webber Smith was convict,si of voluntary manslaughter here today for the shoottng of Irma L. Hnncher last January when she refused to accompany him in an automobile to Osgood. The verdict carries Imprisonment of two to twentyone rears. The case was rlsced in the hands of the Jury at 3:45 o’clock Friday afternoon. The State asked for the death penalty or life Imprisonment and the defense pleaded that the fatal shooting of Miss Handler'was accidental. Judge John IV . Donaker gave the Jury short Instructions. With the approach of a decision tn the case the accused retained h!s attitude of unconcern. The Handler glr! was shot at her home here on the night of Jan. 13. by Smith, a married man whom ghe had gone with for a number of year*. Immediately following the shooting. Smith went to the county Jail where he surrendered Miss Hanrher died shortly after the shooting and charges of murder in the first degree were filed against Smith. Th” mother of the slain girl, who witnessed the sh Kiting, was the leading witness for the state and her testimony indicated that the shooting wag done in a fit of anger. Testimony of the defendant wa* that the shooting waa done during a struggle with the girl for possession of the gun. LATE CABINET ACTION GIVES BRITAIN HOPE (Continued From rux* One.l warlike aspect. Already the nation is more thoroughly “in armor’’—on laud, at sea and in the air—than it was for many weeks after the outbreak of the World War. All the improvements that the great conflict brought into being are pressed into service. The king's call for reserves for active service is receiving a hearty response. Scotland Yard, headquarters for recruiting, as thronged at an early hour by men of ail clause* and ages, ready to en list for ninety days at a common sol filer's pay. Similar prompt response is reported from the provinces. At the same time thousands are volunteering to enroll in the citizens' emergency force, called for by the monarch lu the proclamation which Lloyd George read amid cheers in the House of Commons yesterday. E\ KN WARSHIPS READY FOR ACTION. From Rosy th, "borne" of the bulk of Britain's fleet, comes word of slgnlticent activity. All warships there are puffing noisily out of their smokestacks, signify lug their readiness to dash off on any assignment As the day wore on, more and more reservists lined the square in front of the War Office and the enbankment, in -answer to the king's cal! for army and naval reserves. All London presented the picture of a populace eagerly resolved to avert a national calamity, but the actual pressing into service of the reserves and emerI geucy forces was looked forward lo with grave forebodings because of the spirit of bitter defiance on the part of the “triple alliance,” whose nearly 3.000,000 members showed every determination to answer force with force. The first arrest: under the new powers of the government, which virtually’ amount to martial law authority, was that of Peter Chambers, a miner’s agent at Dalkeith, who was charged with instigating a mob to stop pumping at one of the nilues.

SHANK OFFERS FORMER RECORD Says He Got More Results With Less Money Than Jewett Reign. Samuel Lewis Shank, candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, offered his record as mayor, 1910 to 1914, as the chief reason for asking support of the people for the office again at a meeting in the Shank auction rooms, 227 North New Jersey street, last night. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Shank took up a collection for the benefit of the widow and four children of Rubin Rogin, 859 South Illinois street, who took his own life last Thursday. The amount raised will be delivered to Rabbi S. .(. Levin to be given to the widow. Among the Improvements credited to his administration its mayor, recalled by Mr. Shank, were: More car line extensions. Including Bismarck, Shelby, Brighfwood, East. Washington, East Michigan and Central; quo re miles of streets paved; more miles of water and gas mains laid; more electric lights installed on streets; beginning of track elevation; establishment of the first public playgrounds; establishment of weights and measures system; passage of ordinance requiring safeguards at all dangerous railroad crossings, and installation of public coinfort stations. TOUCHES ON JEWETT’S SCIENCE. “All the things that have been done in the eight years since my time do not equal that record,” declared Mr. Shank. “And I spent $10,006,000, while Charlie Jewett has spent $26,000,000. He was going to solve ail our problems scientifically, you remember. The only places I have seen this science working are th. police station, where healthy cops who ought to be out in districts are messing with papers, and in the fire department, where funny exercises are required to keep firemen from getting fat.” , The record of Mr. Thomas C. Howe, as published by his managers, was taken up by the candidate and commented upon. “Says he was boru on a farm.” he read. “That's a good start. I was born In Indianapolis. He hasy lived here thirty six years. I’ve lived here all iny life. He graduated from Butler and Har vard. He also studied in Germany and taught German here for a while. They didn’t put that in. He worked on a farm. So did T. I’ll bet I can tnllk a cow now quicker than he can. HOWE’S VARIED HI SINEss C AREER. “lie was a newspaper reporter, book agent and a Christien pren -her before he took up being a professor. For years and years the Indianapolis News never spoke of llowe except as Prof. Howe Now they wouldn’t think of calling him that. The News said once that he had to give up his colege work bore because of hi* interests In Kokomo, won by marriage. He has time to be mayor for us, though. ”A few years sgo the professor ran for the Legislature. He dropped the professor title then and became plain Tom Howe and learned to smoke cigars. He took tiie title ngaln later Now he has taken it off to tie plain Tom awhile and mingle with the eominon herd, ltufe Page’ll ha.e him drinking white niolb before the campaign Is over. It Isn't true that, the professor never did any work. He spent two days once working out his rond tax." The speaker expressed sympathy for any man who must run for office on the Jewett record but said the professor would have to take ills medicine for the error. Ha promised better police protection for the city, explaining that it could be accomplished by taking men off station duty and putting them on districts. The city's opposition to Utility rate increases. Mr. Shank said, loosed to him like a fake fight In view of the support the utility companies are giving the administration candidate. Rotiert Dalton, chairman of the Shank speaker's bureau, presided at the meeting. 12 Negro Women Say They Were Swindled Twelve neg-> women have been swindled out of s•> itch by a man who they charge ran a fake advertisement A war runt was sworn out today for M. S. White, 45, alias Wright, negro, who formerly roomed at Cl 2 North Senate avenue. The “wnnt ad” that attracted the at tention follows: “Wanted, colored wornen to do plain sewing at home, ”,50 per day. Pay every night. Must have $5 security, 11-'x 25443, Star." Miss Helen Bartley, colored. 1556 North Capitol avenue, reported the alleged swindle to the poib-e and gave the detectives the names and addresses of eleven other women who had given White $5 security. White, it 1b said, has disappeared and so far the women have not been able to learn where he lias gone. They say he gave them names of firms In other cities which he declared would furnish the “plain sewing" for them. Reappointed War Insurance Director WASHINGTON, April 9—R. G.

OPPOSES CUT IN RAIL MEN’S PAY Roads Exaggerated Need, Sheppard Tells Harding. WASHINGTON, April 9.—Opposition to any wage reduction for railroad employes was voiced to the President today by L. E. Sheppard, head of the Brotherhood of Railroad Conductors. The need for reduction of wages has been greatly exaggerated by the railroads, Sheppard declared. Sheppard said he had offered no definite plan of solution for the railroad tangle, but had expressed the opinion that labor should have a voice in the management of the roads, under some such plan as the Plum plan. The railroads are entitled to a fair profit. Sheppard said, but he declared that the excess profits above 6 per cent should be applied to increased wages for labor and reduced freight rates. Sheppard and other labor leaders will meet here on Monday with Samuel Gomners, president of the American Federation of Labor, to discuss labor's legislative program t 0 be submitted to Congress.

Schubert, councilman from the Second district; J. Stephen Fullen, Fifth district, and Daniel Dugari, Sixth district. Democrats who withdrew were Thomas J. Long and Hattie Powell, city clerk;* Michael Ryan, city judge; Leo Banks, councilman of the Third district, and William Bosdorfer, Sixth district. With the final list of entrants settled so there can be no change, the campaign began to get warmer. The fight of Republican candidates for mayor, other than Mr. Thomas C. Howe, former president of Butler College, for representation on the precinct election boards was expected to be the next big general development, aside from the personal campaigning cf the contenders themselves. Failing to get action from Irving W. Lemaux, Republican city chairman, which assures them of a fair primary, Mr. Howe's opponents will organize squads of watchers, composed of prominent men and women, to guard against fraud in every precinct.
