Netrinary Surgeon Tells of His
Experience in German
Prison Camp.

Cheraw, Sept. 12.-Dr. Bristol,
formerly from Missouri, but now
from Society Hill this State. and
following the profession of veterina-
ry surgeon, spoke last night in the
town hall here, giving his expert
ence as prisoner in German
prison camp on one of the South
Sea Islands. He had been in the
employ of a British firm as buyer of
horses and mules out West for use
en- the front, and had made four
teen successful trips with ship loads
OF animals, but on his fifteenth
trip his vessel was summarized by
the Germans, and he with 100 9TH
ers, after floating on wreckage for
twenty-four hours, was picked up by
"A German raider and carried to the
island Here he was kept for seven
months at hard work in the fields,
subssted partly on hoof shavings
from a blacksmith shop, which tast-
ed better than the black broth that
was given him.
Every complaint or request was
met with punishment OF some kind.
In chapel he was told to say God
bless the Kaiser" but not endorsing
the sentiment, he varied it by say
ing, "TO hell with the Kaiser" For
this he was hung up by his thumbs
several days. After suffering tor
lures and experiencing the horrors
of German frightfulness seven
months. he was exchanged and re-
turned to this country, well-nigh a
physical wreck.

REPORT DENOUNCES
HARDW|CK'S BILL
COMMITTEE SAYS DRAFT
LAW CONSTITUTIONAL.
Report Says Such Opposition
Impairs Military Efficiency
of Men in Service.

Washington. Sept. 12.-Denounc-
ing the Introduction Of such a pro-
position the senate military COM
mittee today reported adversely
Senator Hardwick's resolution
which would provide that the con-
sent OF every drafted man must be
obtained before he is required to
perform foreign service. The COM
mittee, the report says, believes the
draft law is constitutional and that
every man drafted into the national
army can be used abroad.
Serious Situation.
THE situation arising out Of this
spirit of opposition to the selective
Draft Act is serious" says the re-
port, land taken in connection with
the unrest amongst the civilian pop
ulation growing out OF commercial
and industrial conditions, stimulat-
ed in some cases doubtless by. pro-
German sympathizers and propagan-
dists, places our country in situa-
tion of extreme peril at a time when
all should be united in a common
cause.
Law Constitutional.
'It is the view of the committee
that the Selective Draft Act is Meth
er violative OF American tradition
nor of the constitution, and enter
tanning this view the committee feels
justified in saying that there is no
necessity for such legislation as that
proposed, either on the ground OF
expediency or necessity.
"The psychological effect of call
ing in question an act, the princi-
pies of which, it seems to the COM
mittee, have been sustained by the
courts of the country, is bad. and the
tendency of it all is to impair the
military efficiency of the men who
are already in the service and OF
those who may be called TO serve in
this time of need"

CONGRESS LOOKS
TO ADJOURNMENT

WASHINGTON. Sept 9.-Passage of
the $500, 100000 war tax bill late
tomorrow by the Senate. after a
months contention, is the first ma
jor item of an adjournment pro-
gram being framed by congressional
leaders.
The adjournment fever is in the
air, with general acquiescence in a
speeding up process. Leaders are
endeavoring to reconcile the wide
spread desire at the Capitol and the
White House to close the session
next Monday with the Presidents
legislative program, with the SOL
diers and sailors insurance bill as
the principal stumbling block.
Chief features of the program be-
fore congress are:
The war bill tax, which will go to
conference this week and probably
to the President within fortnight.
The s11,50O.O 100000 war credits
bill. which will be taken up Tues
by the senate finance committee.
The $4,000. 100000 deficiency ap
preparation bill before the house.
The insurance measure, due 10
pass the house this week.
The Administrations trading with
the enemy bill. which has passed tn.
house and is awaiting senate debate
Tuesday
AS usual, the e-adjournment
congestion is on the senate side. The
war tax bill is definitely set for pas
sage there tomorrow. While It is
in conference, the senate hopes to
pass the trading with the enemy and
$1,000. 100000 war credits bills.
leaving the insurance measure and
the mammoth appropriation bill as
the final features.

TO CONTROL MEAT
PACKING INDUSTRY
HOOVER ACCEPTS OFFER
OF PACKERS.
Production to More Live Stock
Absolutely Necessary to
Remedy the Situation.

Washington Sept. 12.-Govern-
ment regulation of the meat pack
ing industry will be be the next
move of the food administration
voluntary offer of representatives
or the packers to put their plants
under licensing system made to
Herbert Hoover, the food admins
traitor, at conference here today
was accepted and a plan of control
will be drawn up shortly.
The packers numbering about a
score, came to Washington to take
up with Mr.. Hoover the threatened
meat shortage and the subject of
rising prices. They are of one
opinion that prices can be brought
down little unless a determined eff
fort is made to increase the produc-
tion of live stock.
Licensing System.
A licensing system for packing
houses was provided in the food
control bill. Putting it into ope-
ration, food administration ofilc-
ials believe. will go far towards
elimination of boarding and specu-
lation and will aid in stabilizing
prices. The packers will confer
soon with cattle growers to discuss
the food administration plan for
removing herds from the West to
better districts in the East and
South.
Increased production of live stock
is a military necessity Carl Vroo-
man, assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture declared in a statement to-
nigth, after the packing meeting
ended.
More Live Stock.
The production of more live stock
was highly desirable before the
war, said Mr.. Vrooman, "now it is
national necessity. first because
of the terrible dearth of meat ami
mails not only in this country, but
throughout the world; second, be-
cause no further waste of feeds
must be permitted, and the only
thing that can prevent waste on the
farm is the production of more live
stock.
The fact that keeping of more
live stock is military necessity
does not mean that it is any the less
a good business. The farmer should
not lose this golden opportunity to
cash in his waste forage at war
prices.

Mr.. Dooling further said that At

NEGROES PLANNED
RIOT OF BLOODSHED
THE TROOPS PLOTTED OUT
BREAK FOR DAYS.
Board Says Soldiers Went Forth
to Slay White People After
Warning Other Blacks.

Houston, Tex, Sept. 11-Soldiers
of the Twenty-fourth United States
Infantry had planned a riot of
bloodshed among the citizens of
Houston two days before the riot
broke out which cost the lives Of II
people, according to the report of
the board of inquiry which reported
to the Houston city council tonight.
The report also criticized Superin-
tendent of Police Brock for his ina
bility to force discipline among the
police and declares "he is not quail
fed for the position he holds"
The committee is of the opinion
the riot was precipitated by the ar
rest of two negro soldiers by the po-
lice although sufficient evidence
was presented at the hearing to re-
veal the fact that serious disturb
ance was intended by some of the
negroes before leaving Houston and
the arrest referred to simply
brought it to a head sooner and per
haps intensified the crimes which
followed"
No Negroes Molcstcd.
Continuing the committee says:
The undisputed testimony of wit
nesses proves that the negroes went
forth to slay the white population
Unfortunately, that no negro was
hurt or molested by them, that no
negro home was fired into and that
the negroes were warned before and
during the riot to stay off the
/ streets.
"The testimony of the captain in
charge of the fire station at Camp
Logan and one OF his assistants is
that when the shooting began in the
negro camp one OF the negro guards
stationed at the fire station remark
ed that the troops were going to
shoot up Houston, that they had
planned to do so on the preceding
Tuesday night but could not get
quite ready.
/ This testimony and the testi-
mony of numerous other witnesses
! convince us [and our opinion is
shared by Capt. John L. Chamber
lain OF the United States army who
so expressed himself to us) that the
prior conflict with the police were
mere incidents of the riot"
Defied State Law.
The report declares that shortly
after the arrival of the negro troops
in Houston there was manifested
by at least some of them a feeling
Of hostility the separation OF whites
and negroes in the street cars; that
the negroes while on guard duty at
Camp Logan were arrogant and in
sulting towards white laborers. seiz-
as an excuse to curse and abuse
them: that the discipline existing
at the camp was grossly lax in moral
conditions: lewd negro women. some
OF them mere children OF ~ years of
age, being permitted to freely visit
the camp and remain there over
night and that such women were
permitted to bring parcels into camp
without inspection by sentries, keep
ing the soldiers literally supplied
with liquor and other intoxicants.
Concerning the chief of police the
report said:
For Mr.. Brock personally we
have the highest regard and 1t is no
reflection on his personal character
to say that in ouv opinion he is not
qualified for the position he holds" !"
