sational incident about which there is
still much mystery. Without any pre-
vious announcement that he was TO
leave the legation. it suddenly became
known that the President had returned
70 his private residence in Peking.
How he was able to get out nobody
knew, or knows now, but the next
morning IL was announced that the
President had left his residence and
gone to the French Hospital in Peking,
It was officially stated that there had
been regrettable incident in his resi-
dence-a soldier had suddenly gone
mad and killed several people and
wounded others, and the President was
compelled TO go TO the hospital.
Tuan in Control
Now, just what happened nobody pre-
sumes TO know. But that a soldier ran
smuck, and that Chinese enlisted
man could have got close enough TO
the President 20 wound HMM a Chi
nese yamen-that has deceived nobody.
Whether the demonstration was made
to brighten Ii into returning TO the
legation, and whether that demonstrG-
ton was instigated by the Japanese, by
Tuan or by the reactionaries who want
TO prevent Ii from joining the south
ern radicals, or whether an actual at
tempt was made to assassinate him
those are the things about which the
country is wondering. But that the
President went 20 the French Hospital
more to seek refuge than TO be treated
for wounds, If he really has any
wounds-of that there is little doubt.
In the mean time Tuan Chl-jui has
won complete control. He has entered
Picking triumphantly at the head Of the
republican forces. Over that there has
been much bitterness among the other
military commanders, for they point
out that Tuan arrogated TO himself the
command, that he acted without any
agreement with anybody else or before
the republican leaders conference
could give any orders. and that he is
merely a usurper, holding his position
by a mandate forged while the Presi-
dent was in the Japanese Legation.
Nevertheless. right or wrong, Tuan is
in complete control. He is TO all in
tents and purposes dictator. The
President has retired and Tuan is ap-
pointing his ministers without the
counter signature of either a President
or a parliament. And those ministers
are not only his own men, but men
generally accused of being japanese in
their sympathies. OF these the most
conspicuous is Tsao Ju-lin, man who
has been openly accused of being a
japanese agent. To him has fallen the
Ministry of Communications The min
istry is responsible for the administra-
ton of the railroads, the greatest plum
IN China. Another is Wang Ta-hsieh,
a former special commissioner TO ia
pan, openly pro-Japanese, and to him
has been given the Nice-Ministry of
Foreign Affairs.
The situation IS being eagerly
watched II Is not expected to be long
before Tuan will show whence comes
his support. II is possible, of course,
that he will construe his victory as the
result of the logic of events, for which
he owes Japan nothing. And it is pos
sible that Japan will insist on collect
ing for services rendered. That re-
mains to be seen.

Cuba Will Offer
Fliers to France
Leading Families
to Supply Recruits
for Unit

HAVANA, Sept. 1.-Colonel Manuel
Coronado, member of the Cuban SEN
ate and editor of the newspaper LA
Discussion" has added a new phase to
Cuba's alliance with the United States
in the war against Germany by organ
izing an aviation unit which. il is an
nounced, will be offered TO France, with
complete equipment, in the near future
Though other means of cooperation
have assumed shape here since Cuba's
declaration of war against Germany
on April 8 last, it is believed probable,
from the enthusiasm shown by its mem
bers, that the "Escadrille Cubaine,"
as the flying unit will be called, will
be the first body of fighting men from
Cuba to serve on French soil.
Colonel Coronado's plans called for
body of twenty-five trained aviators
to comprise the escadrille, but already
thirty-three youths, who are represent
atives of the best families of Cuba,
have volunteered TO take the prescribed
aviation course and individually to bear
the expense Of their airplanes and
equipment. Many of the volunteers
for the escadrille are graduates of
French universities, and all speak
French and are aviation en:n lsiasts.
Senator Coronado has just returned
from New York, where he conferred
with officials of the Aero Club of Amer
lea and airplane manufacturers over
the details of the ascadrille's organiza-
ton.
IL believe that the escadrille will be
the most practical and at the same
time the most appropriate way of show
ing Cuba's sympathy with the cause of
the Allies" said Colonel Coronado. The
colonel has asked the Navy Department
in Washington for an arrangement by
which the Cuban aviatOrs may undergo
their preliminary training at the navy
aviation school at Pensacola, Fla.
While for obvious reasons the de-
tails of many of the cooperative war
measures of Cuba and the United
States are rot permissible of publica-
ton, substantial progress has been an
nounced officially here in the coordi-
native work of the Cuban and United
States army and navy general STATS.
Cuban military commissioners will
shortly announce the promotions of
2SS officers in the Cuban army, in
keeping with the enlargement of the
islands active military force for pos
sible duty later IN Europe.

the bed in the back room in which the
preacher was sleeping.
The party took the negro out of the
house after commanding Bob Burris
and his family to leave, carried him
around the back Of the house, beating
him and shooting and cursing, drag
ged him in his night clothes down
the road to the intersection of the
Howell's Ferry Sharon roads, jumped
on him again there with increased
fury, then dragged him into the cot
ton field and left him for dead. Two
automobiles loaded with men were
heard by people living in the neigh
borhood, to drive W stward at q fu-
rious rate shortly a, tcrward There
was no further SOUND until daylight,
when the body Of the negro, who was
gasping for breath, but conscious, was
found naked, bruised and bleeding.
Bob Burris, at whose house Preach

ed by the mob. Clarence Burris, his
relative, was shot in the head one
time, glancing blow; Pearlne Bur-

home.
Officers yesterday morning arrested
Fred Penningcr, well known young
white man of Sharon, and Frank
tWitty, a negro, who lives near the
scene of the murder, on charges of
being parties to the crime. At the
coroner's inquest, Bob Burris testified
that Dick Norman, Il well known
young white man who lives nearby,
was also in the party. Officers fail

CONGRESS is READY

Perfection of Standardized Motor
Makes Possible Building of Several
Types for Service at European
Fronts.

Washington, Aug. 2G.-Congress is
ready to appropriate $1,0OO,0OO, 900
more to enlarge the American aircraft
program Administration leaders have
given this definite assurance concern
ing new plans which are now being
worked out by the War Department.
For military reasons these plans are
kept secret, but it can be said that
the highly successful tests of the new
standardized United States airplane
motor have convinced military experts
that quantity production should be
stimulated to the limit of Americas
manufacturing power.
The new program Of the govern
ment will broaden upon IL vast scale
the original aircraft construction
plans and will have the effect of plac-
ing on the French front far greater
number of fighting machines at a date
much earlier than was first contem-
plated. The War Department officials
directing aircraft work are said to be
confident that thousands of Amcri
can-made machines will be ready for
service in France early next spring.

WORKING ON PEACE NOTE

Washington, Aug. 27.-Prcsidcnt
Wilson is now working on his reply to
the popc's peace note, it was learned
today. He has taken no one into his
confidence as to the text of the reply.
1t will, according to the best available
opinion, cOnccde all of the pope's
terms as the aims Of the United
States and will then demand that the
terms be made effective with the Ger
man people and not with the German
government.
The successes of the italians
against the Austrians are considered
of grave Importance in the chances
for peace. They are making the weak
sister of the Tcuton empires all the
weaker. They are also checking Teu

NEGRO PREACHER IS
BEATEN TO DEATH

w. II. Sims, a colorcd preacher, 46
years Of age, was beaten and shot to
death at an early hour yesterday
morning. The murder occurred at the
home of Bob Burris, a negro, who
lives on Miss Matte Loves place on
the Howell's ferry road, five and
three-quarter miles west of Yorkvillc.
A gang of white men and negroes,
probably thirty, committed the crime.
Sims was attacked at the home of
Burris about 1: 80 yesterday morning.
He was carried down the HOWELL s
ferry road several hundred yards to a
point where the Sharon road connects
and there he was carried across a cot
ton patch for a distance Of 100 yards
or more and left to die. He was
brought back to the home of Burris
at an early hour yesterday morning
by negroes, under the direction of
Mcssrs. John Feemster and Robert
Hartness. a short while thereafter
he died. He was conscious to The last
IL 5,..,. ,.G did not know who killed
him. 81 have been beat and shot to
DEATH" he said.
The negro made no resistance when
he was attacked. The attacking party,
upon entering the house of Burrs,
grabbed him and asked, "Wherc is
the damned preacher? We have
come after that bully preacher"
"llcrC | am, gentleman" Sims is al
legged to have said. Il am rs nno-
cent as a dove" Then several Of
those in the party seized him; a num-
Der of shots, several Of which struck

which he had been pastor more than
thirteen years, coming from his home
in Chester twice each month to
preach. He stopped at Burris's home.
The revival began last Friday and was
to have been concluded yesterday
with big baptizing. The two negro
preachers who were assisting fled
Immediately after the tragedy
Preacher Sims came home with
Burris Wednesday night and went to
bed Immediately, saying he was "wor-
ricd and sleepy and tired" Burris
went out to put up his mule. When
he returned he was seized by three
men, one Of whom he said was Fred
Pcnninger and the other Dick Nor
man. He did not see the third man
at his back. The men flashed pistols
in his face and told him to "Go get
that damn bully preacher; if you don't
we will kill you," or words to that
effect. They took Burris into his own
home and then prcchcr Sims called,
Here am, gentlemen; 1 am as inno-
cent as dove" Bob was told to
leave and leave quick. He left and
did not return until daylight, not talk
ing time to see how many men were
IN his home; buc he was positive there
were twelve and perhaps more. Many
were about the yard. He left the
house and heard the mob shooting
into the house and on the outside, and
he heard them as they took Sims
down the road and beat him. Sims,
he said, was softly praying and he
cried out only once or twice.
The testimony of Mary, Bob's wife
and of the other inmates who were
IN the house was about the same.
They were all more or less roughly
treated; but did not meet with serious
harm. Mary Burris said she recog-
nlzed Frank Twitty because she ran
INTO his arms while trying to get out
OF the house. The others knew no
body.
What caused the tragedy is not yet
apparent. That there were white
men and negroes in it, there is no
doubt and there is reason to believe
that blockade liquor which was or is
beng manufactured near Sharon, in
cited them to commit murder.
For some time past there have been
two factions in st. Johns church of
which SIMS was pastor. One faction
headed by Bill Sanders, a negro, and
consisting of some twenty-five or
more of the members wanted to oust
Preacher Sims. From the best infor
nation the reporter could get, Bill
Sanders who was treasurer of the
church was accused of misappropriat
ing funds about two years m;o and
was dismissed from membership. A
number of his friends withdrew also.
