Paris. November 14. Sitting un-rxpecicdly, the. council of nmbassa- t- 1 i A I 7 1 tii i'f I' v. Iors tsdsy decided to begin evacuation of Cologne on December 1.

MISS BESSIE DRAPER M'KELDIN Their i0Rion scheduled for Monday was advanced at the request, of Germany so that this news welcome to lh Germans inijjht stave off or offset the effects of a nationalist manifestation planned in Germany for Sunday. The ambassadors action resulted from German compliance with allied demands for final disarmament as required by the Versailles treaty. The Germans have agreed to alterations in organization of the security police anil in the position of chief of the army held by General Von Seeckt. This concession to Germany was interpreted here as a direct resultof tho new ieacc spirit enzendered by the Locarno pacts. Likewise it was felt that now the nationalists of Germany Trill be unable longer to continue, their anti-Locarno campaign based on the contention that there as not sufficient reciprocity in the form of Cologne evacuation for Germany.

DIPLOMATS TESTS OK PRESS CLUB. London, November 14. UP) The Locarno security pact was given a renewed blessing at "ambassadors night" at the London Press club, wlere most of the diplomatic representatives were dinner guests tonight. BafoA Mocnheur, the Belgian ambassador, jironounced a frevent en-wnium on the peace work at Locarno, whose spirit must be universally pcr- petunod. The French ambassador, M.

de Fleuriati, briefly but heartily responded with "I concur," while the German councillor of embassy, speaking in bf half of Dr. Sthamer, who was abr.ent through indisposition, expressed bis government's sincere hope that the pact would to peace. Atlanta Leads South in Gain In Clearings City Takes Third Place Among Leading Cities of United States. In line with the general improvement of business conditions in the south, Atlanta again demonstrated her prosperity during the past wcefe by leadinj the south in percentage of increase in bank clearings among the leading cities of the United States, according to the weekly report issued by Bradstreet's. Atlanta took third place with cTearftigs listed at $72,477,000, showing a gain of 24 per cent.

Savannah showed an increase of 14.2 per while Memphis clearings decreased. 15.2. Norfolk's gain was reported at 4.9 per cent. Buffalo topped the list" with an increase of 2S.8 Newark taking second place with a gain of per cent and Atlanta third. Clearitigs for Saturday were reported at by the Atlanta Clearing Ilonse association, which shows a gain of over the same day last week when clearings were reported at $13,994,146.70.

Clearings reported by cities follow Miss McKeldin was a visitor here at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Draper last February and was honored at several functions. Her unusual beauty and personal charm made her a favorite while she was in this city. She is a slender blonde of striking beauty.

While here she was a bridesmaid at the marriage of Miss Sue Bucknell and Dixon Potter. It is known in Atlanta that extensive preparations had been made for the marriage of Miss McKeldin and Colonel Breekenridge at the Palmer home in Washington. Miss McKeldin returned to this country after a two months visit to Paris only last Thursday, bringing with her a veil valued at $700 to be used at her wedding. A gown valued at $1,000 had been prepared for the ceremony and other elaborate preparations had been made. Friends were notified merely that the engagement had been broken and that all plans had been abandoned.

Dispatches and GO INTO ACTION City Divided and Sub-Divided To Make Certain That Every Section Is Touched. With the Community Chest drive for $000,000 nearing the end of the first week of its campaign, leaders in the movement now are turning their attention to the residence districts and launching neighborhood campaigns designed to reach every man, woman and child in the city and give them an opportunity to contribute to the aid of those who must accept aid from charitable and philanthropic institutions. The goal this year must be reached if the chest and its agencies are to function with any degree of efficiency, according to J. M. B.

Hox-sey, general chairman of the campaign. The mark set, he said, is $74,000 more than was raised last year, but because of the failure to raise the full amount asked in 1924, the agencies have been able to operate on only a 75 per cent basis during this year and this condition cannot continue. At the close of the first week Saturday there was every indication that the 1925 campaign woifld go "over the top" in the same splendid manner in which the $250,000 Atlanta adver tising fund and the stirine mosque drive developed. The actual total of subscriptions to date was withheld, but the results were de scribed as satisfactory. Volunteers Begin.

The vanguard of approximately 3,000 volunteer workers will maneu ver into action Monday in the second phase of the work, when they begin calling at homes. An enthusiastic force of leaders and workers has been assembled and is being completed today, which, it is believed, -ill insure success of this phase of the work. The city has been so divided into districts and subdivided into smaller territories for individual workers or teams that no hardship will fall on anyone. W. B.

UP) John F.

Murray, commissioner of public works of Newark, N. today told the interstate' commerce commission that the people of his city are unable to get coal of any kind and that a coal famine exists wLIch is causing untold suffering to thousands of persons. Mr. Murray appeared before Dr. Johnstone B.

Campbell, who is conducting a hearing to determine whether freight rates should be lower on coal from West Virginia to the eastern section of the country. The commissioner said that more than 1,000 persons in Newark had come to the city authorities bearing letters from physicians telling of lack of heat in homes where there was illness. Most of "them sought to buy coal through the city without success. All efforts to -obtain anthracite coal in any quantity from the coal dealers of Newark, he said, were unavailing. Through installation of IS demonstration stations to teach proper use of substitutes, citizens of Newark, according to Mr.

Murray, now are willing to burn bituminous coal in their furnaces, but even these substitutes cannot be procured because of exces- sive freight rates. Director Soule Announces Over 2,800 Students Are Enrolled at Athens and Club Work. SAYS DARK SIDE IS OVERSTRESSED Courage and Vigor Still Characterize i i of Georgia Asserts in Statement. Athens, Ga-, November 14, (Spe cial.) Dr. Andrew M.

Soule, presi dent of the State College of Agricul ture today issued a statement in which he said that the dark side of Ce farming situation in Georgia is being over-stressed" just at this time and declared that "courage and vigor still characterize the vision of our farm-ers. Dr. Soule's statement in full fol lows "There is much concern over the fact that crop conditions are bad this year in certain parts of Georgia. Business men are alarmed and distressed over the number of abandoned farms in the state as reported by the federal census bureau. There is al ways a "saver lining to every ciouu, however, and the dark side of the picture is being over-stressed just at this time.

"That courage and vigor still char acterize the vision of our farmers and that we are due for and economic renaissance is well evidence by what is taking place along educational lines as they pertain to It is a pleasure, therefore, to direct the at tention of the public to the significant and wholesome facts relative to this matter which follow. "The attendance upon the Georgia State College of Agriculture has again broken all records. The enrollment for the year has passed the 2,800 mark. This is indeed remarkable when one considers the conditions through which the agriculture of the state has passed in the last five years. Undoubtedly, a good many boys and girls could not enter the college this fall on account of their inability to secure the funds needed ior this purpose.

More than 30 boys came to the college, asking for financial assistance to enable them to enter the freshman class, which could not be provided. This illustrates the earnest purpose of many of these young people and their desire to prepare themselves for adequate leadership in the more than 100 specialized fields of service which are correlated with agricultural enterprises Demand for Graduates. "The demand for those prepared for service in this field is also quite remarkable, the C6 graduates last year having obtained remunerative positions in Georgia before they received their diplomas. They went into some 12 fields of activity, but" more of Continued on Page 11, Column 2. 11 Sentences Given to Ashe-ville Rioters RangeFrom Six Months on Road to Several Years in Prison.

The jury was out for about six hours, and. on two occasions returned to the courtroom to evidence read affecting several of the defendants.

When the trial was opened on Monday morning, 37 defendants faced the court, but the cases of 17 of these were taken from before the jury by nolle prosses and submission of guilt as to various counts in the bill of indictment. Nine entered pleas to the last count in the bill, that of riotously assembling, while two of these, Jeter Bell and Sam St roup, pleaded guilty to five counts, one charging breaking and entering.

MW RELATIVES GRILLED BY POLICE Bullet-Pierced Coat and Suicide Note Are Attributed to Cousin of Steel Vested Gunman. Chicago, November 14. OP) Convinced that relatives of Martin Dur-kin, gunman and former convict, know much about his whereabouts, the jioliee today called all his kin to the detective bureau in an attempt to glean some information. They were summoned after the disclosure that the slayer of Edward Shanahan.

government agent, had actually written a suicide note found, with a bullet -pierced coat, purporting to be his. at the Michigan Avenue bridge over the Chicago river, and that theiote and clothing had been placed there by Mrs. Hattie Galow, Dur-kin's cousin. A chauffeur said he saw Mrs. Galow, a New York actress, place the coat by the bridge, but when Durkin's relatives were summoned, they discounted the driver's story.

All the relatives expressed belief Durkin had written the note, which was addressed to his mother, Mrs. Hattie Durkin. Chief of Detectives Shoemaker concurred. He and other police officers still were unwilling to believe Durkin had jumped into the river, his declared intention in the Iettei1. It was considered significant that Mrs.

Betty Werner, Durkin's sweetheart, disappeared yesterday, two days after she was-released by was -released by the police, and has not since been seen, Majority Advocates That National Defense and Fertilizer Production Be Primary Object. Washington, November 14. UP) The Muscle Shoals commission passed out of existence today with the filing with President Coolidge of a report embodying the recommendations of the majority of the commission for the disposition of the government's property in Alabama. A minority report will be forward ed to the president later, the two dissenting commissioners, William Mc-Clellan, of New York, and Harry A. Curtis, of Yale university, not being prepared today to submit their recom mendations.

The majority report was carried to the white house by former Senator Dial, of South Carolina, acting chair man of the commission, and William Mocray, secretary of the commission. The report was signed by Chairman McKenzie, of Illinois; Russell Bower, of the American Farm Bureau federa tion, and Mr. Dial. Report Not Made Public. President Coolidge did not make the report public, and he is expected to refer it to Secretary of War Davis, Secretary of Agriculture Jardine and Secretary of Commerce Hoover for their opinions to aid the president in submitting recommendations to con- pss.

The report consists of 16 paces, with a 50-page appendix, in which the whole Muscle Mioals question is discussed in detail. It is probable that the reports will not be made public until the president presents his recommendations to congress. The house resolution under which the president created the commission requested the chief executive to appoint the commission to study the Aluscle Shoals problem and submit recommendations for the property's disposition. The president was i asked to send these recommendations, together with his own, to congress for legislation. Recommend 50-Year Lease.

It became known tonight that the majority report recommends leasing Muscle Shoals to a private corporation for operation for not more than 50 years; but in the event of failure to obtain a suitable lease, the report recommends temporary government operation to demonstrate the practicability of operating the property for the production of nitrogen to be used for fertilizer and ammunition. If the government demonstrates that nitrogen can lie produced profitably, the majority holds that numerous private corporations would then be willing to take over the property under the government's terms. If the operation should prove unprofitable, the majority report recommends that the whole question be referred to congress for settlement. The. report points out that if congress wishes to abandon Muscle Shoals as an instrument of national defense, the whole governmental expenditure can be recovered by the sale of power that is now being generated from the Wilson dam.

The report of the majority also holds that Muscle Shoals should be used for national defense and for the production of cheap fertilizer for the farms as originally intended, un- Continued on Page 10, Column 3 CarusoWidow Given Divorce From Ingram Decree Is Granted' To Her In Paris From British Army Officer.

NEW TRIAL SOUGHT FOR MERCYMER Defense Counsel, Client, Unsatisfied With Outcome of Case Now Seeking 'Safety Trial Denver, November 14. Iewis D.

Mowry, attorney for Dr. Harold E. Blazer, the kindly old country doctor who snuffed out the spark of life in the malformed body of his imbecile daughter, announced today that an attempt will be made next week to have his client completely vindicated. Mowry said her he nor Dr. Blazer are satisfied with the outcome of the famous "mercy murder" case in which the jury and the charge of murder were dismissed after the former had disagreed.

"Ws. will start what is known under the Colorado law as a 'safety said Mowry "It will be merely a formality but it will give Dr. Blazer an out and out acquittal." Under the "safety trial" statute a jury may be impannelled and sent out instructed by the court to return a verdict of not guilty. If "the plan materializes it swill give Dr. Blazer's "act of mercy" the official approval of a court, answering in the affirmative the hypothetical question raised by the case "Is the taking of human life ever justified, granting that the i person killed is a hopelessly crippled imbecile?" District Attorney Joel Stone, when he heard that the jury stood 11 to 1 for acquittal in Dr.

Blazer's trial this week ordered the murder indictment quashed, thus setting the old doctor free. The technical defense for Dr. Blazer was that he killed hi 32-year-old daughter while temporarily insane, believing that in so doing he was releasing her from her suffering and at the same time preventing her ever becoming a burden on society. Sentiment in the mountain town near here where the case was tried, was overwhelmingly in favor of Dr. Blazer, Continued on Page 10, Column 3 HUGE DRY SCANDAL SEEN INJHICAGO WealthyCertificateBrok-er Makes Confession Involving: High Government Agents, Is Claim.

While government officials, who talked freely: but refused to be quoted officially, asserted important disclos-8 res are now before a federal grand jury here, the Herald and Examiner said that Levin had made a confession involving high governhient agents.

The grand jury has information, the governineat men said, which shows connection between a. powerful eastern syndicate, federal agents and Chicago officials. The federal 'men charged that the head of tho syndicate has remarkable influence in certain quarters. This connection pointed to the resignation of McDowell, who has been in charge of the case before the Igrand jury. Attaches of the federal officer, higher ups in the beer syndicate, reported to control 11 breweries which have been supplying Chicago with beer, had been named to the grand jury.

The investigators added that a leader in the syndicate approached one brewery askrog for $50,000 on the statement that it must be given as a present to Washington, officials.
