Boy Rescues
2 Men From
50-Foot Well
Freckle Faced Youth on
Southern Plantation Risks
Gas-Filled Shaft When
Grownups Quail.
By H. C. HAMILTON.
tropyrlfht, . tnn-i national Featurt
Service. Inc.)
Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 12. "It wasn't
much. I just did it," and that's the
way Buxier Jackson feels about go
ing 50 feet down in a gas-filled well
to rescue two men, both negroes.
I!c risked his own life without the
slightest hesitation after half a doz
en full-grown men had declined, and
sent both to the surface before he
would permit men at the top to haul
him up. One of the men lived, the
other died.
The boy, barefooted, freckle-faced
and pug-nosed, as is proper with
boy heroes, told the story while un
doubtedly thinking about a slice of
watermelon, a game of marbles, the
swimming hole and a half a dozen
other things of far more impor
tance in his mind.
Working on Well.
"The negro working on my fa
ther's well," he said, "went down
there early to draw out some water.
Mother was there and after a while
she couldn't make the negro answer
when she called.
"She came after my father and
after a while a crowd gathered
around the well, and then it was seen
'he negro was unconscious. We
:ould smell the gas then. Another
neero was let down on a rope to
bring out the other negro.
"Why Be Afraid?"
"Ellis (the second negro) must
have got scared. He couldn't
!asten the rope around the other
negro. I told 'em I would go down
with a rope. I wasn't afraid. Why
should I be afraid?"
Fire Chief Cody, of Atlanta's Fire
Department, said it was the bravest
act he had ever seen. He has recom
mended the boy for a Carnegie hero
medal.
Censors have plastered quarantine
sign on cotillon spasms. Dancing
ambassadors chirp that old foxtrot,
weasel slink, wolf crawl must exit.
Got to go. Neighbors are talking.

London Courts Rush
Many Divorce Cases
London, Aug. 12. Hustle in the
divorce courts is proving its value.
The judges by working "extra"
t'me next session will, it is expected,
clear the whole of the arrears of
cases.
Everybody who wants a divorce
will be able to obtain it, providing,
of course, evidence and incidents are
as they should be.
The divorce lists for the new
term, issued at the law courts show
that 2,932 cases are down for hear
ing. This number includes 600 new
cases, which indicates that the di
vorce tide is on the wane. Previ
ous lists have contained additional
petitions of a thousand-odd.
Names of well-known people are
not prominent among- new petition
ers or respondents. Among wives
who are asking that their husbands
should cofne back to them is Lady
H. A. Whittaker, wife of Sir H. S.
Whittaker. One husband is seeking
a restitution order against his wife,
an unusual procedure.
Father of Jeffries Dead
Los Angeles, Aug. 12. Alexis Jef

Vacation Plans
Of Congress Run
Against Snags
House Action on Tax Bill May
Delay Proposed Summer
Recess to Au
gust 25.
Washington, Aug. 12. The move
ment for a recess of congress re
ceived several setbacks yesterday
and as a result the tentative date for
beginning the 30-day vacation turned
back from August 20 to August 25
or 26.
PmSaSlo Vlav in house nassaee
of the tax revision bill was the prin
cipal cause ot talk ot postponement.
Renrpsrntative Mondell. Wyoming,
house republican leader, informed
Senator Lodge, Massacnusens. sen
ate leader, that AuBust 20 appeared
too early for a recess and that it now
was probable the tax Din couia noi
be gotten through until August 24
or 25.
Another obstacle to the proposed
vacation was rising opposition
hnh reDublican and demo
cratic senators because of the status
of several pending bills, several
democrats served notice in the sen
ate they would oppose a vacation
resolution, possibly to the extent of
filibustering, unless the good roads
bill is enacted.
Compromise Reached.
A compromise on this bill was
reached yesterday by the senate
postofiice and post roads committee,
which agreed to report a bill next
railing for $100,000,000 in
government appropriations, $50,000,-
UUO Ot wnicn WOUia De imnieuiiici.y
available, with the balance in six
months.
The committee adopted provisions
giving authority to the states to lay
out state roads systems subject to
the approval by the federal commis
sion. Sixty per cent of the federal ap
propriation, which would have to be
matched by the states, would be
spent on interstate highways and 40
per cent on county roads required
to connect with state systems.
Oppose Delay on Rail Bill.
Opposition to deferring the rail
road debts funding bill also increas
ed today, but it appeared proDaD.e
that it would go over untfl after the
recess.
There were, however, some favor
able developments in the recess
movement.
Representative Mondell gave as
surance that the agricultural credits
bill, which President Harding is in
sisting shall be passed before a re
cess is declared, would be ready for
the senate next Monday. The ship
ping board's deficiency appropria
tion bill was also pressed in the
house for possible transfer to the
senate Monday.
The senate, next week, will also
work on the Borah bill to restore
free tolls privileges through the
Panama canal to American coast
wise vessels, but a vote is improb
able until after the recess.
Brictson Summoned
Into Federal Court
(Continued From Tate One.)
where I'm inclined to order Mr.
Brictson into court. I don't see hew
he can take such an attitude; how
he can want to throw legal techni
calities in the way of this investiga
tion. Let an order be drawn and
served on Mr. Brictson by the
United States marshal."
"It won't be necessary to serve
the order," announced Mr. Culhane.
' He'll be here tomorrow. I want it
recorded that we except this order,
however."
Jurisdiction Challenged.
Counsel for Brictson challenged
the jurisdiction of the court here in
the case on the grounds the Brictson
company was incorporated under the
laws of Colorado.
Judge Woodrough overruled this
objection, citing the case of the Lion
Bonding company, which was in
corporated in Minnesota.
The Nebraska stockholders, ac
cording to the petition, number
1,200. The petitioners are H. E.
Close, Peter Johnson, John R. Her
ron, Fred C. Kruger, Mrs. J. W.
Heapy, Paul A. Karo, Frank W.
Scherer and Edward Arndt.
E. T. Swobe Listens.
The site of the prospective Brict
son factory was purchased at Twenty-fourth
street and Poppleton ave
nue. The petitioners allege the fac
tory has never been built and that
not a single tire has been manufac
. i
Mulfinger declared h" -ould bring
Ann ci.Hin1rfer into court if neces-
sary to conduct the investigation.
Edwin 1. swodc was in mc wui.
room during the hearing.

Marion, O., Aug. 12. Dr. George
T, Harding, father of President
Harding, who was married yester
day at Monroe, Mich., to Miss Alice
Severns, his office attendant, arrived
at his office shortly before noon to
day, accompanied by his wife. He
announced that he intended resum
ing his professional duties immedi
ately and said that he and Mrs.
Harding would reside, at least tem
porarily, in the residence which the
doctor had maintained here for a
number of years. Upon their ar
rival here last night from Toledo
they went to their respective homes.
Dr. Harding announced at noon
that he had received no word from
the president since he had been in
formed of the marriage by telegraph
late last night.
Newspaper men and photogra
phers began arriving in Marion early
today from nearby points and the
doctor and Mrs. Harding confessed
to being considerably annoyed by
persistent photographers.
Efforts to keep the marriage a se
cret, were of no avail, although not
until after the couple reached
Marion last night, six hours after
the marriage, did Dr. Harding ad
mit that he had become a benedict.
Dr. Harding, on arrival with his
bride last night said that Miss
Severns and he left Marion together
Wednesday morning and went to
Detroit. "We were refused a li
cense in Windsor, Canada, because
we were not residents," Dr. Hard
ing said.
"We spent Wednesday night in
Detroit at the home of Mr. and Mr.
Louis V. Sanborn, who are relatives
of mine. They accompanied us to
Monroe, where we were married
shortly after noon. I know I am
not going to be lonesome now," he
said.
At the doctor's suggestion, Mrs.
Harding was taken to her home. He
then asked to be driven to his hom,
