PIKEVILLE, Tenn, July IA
Thomas Walling, deserter from the
national army, was shot and instant
ly killed this morning by soldiers
from Columbia, S. G, who had been
sent to his home to take him back to
camp. Members of the squad fired
in self-defense just as the deserter
leveled his automatic at the group.
The soldiers arrived at Pikeville
yesterday afternoon and went i'm
mediately to Walling's cabin home,
fifteen miles from. here in the noun
tians, accompanied by the sheriff of
Van Buren, county and two deputies.
They secreted themselves IN the
woods until daybreak today, keeping
a close watch on the house. No
signs of life were apparent and
early this morning two members OF
the posse knocked at the door, leav-
ing the others in hiding in the BUSH
es, The rap was answeredby Wall
ing, who gave one startled look at
the men in khaki and hastily slamm-
ed and locked the door. The two
soldiers heard his hasty tread across
the bare boards of the cabin floor and
started to batter down the entrance.
They were prevented, however by
a warning from the guards hidden
in the bushes. From their STOPPING
position they had seen Walllng van
ish through trap door m the floor
of his house to deep hole made into
the earth underneath. The men
stealthily surrounded the house and
called to the fugitive to surrender.
His reply was to lift his head
above the level of the underground
hiding place and point his automatic
at the group that challenged him.

LOSS OF HOME
NARROWLY AvERTED

A near fire caused quite an excite
ment in town Monday afternoon
when the residence of f. l.. Minor
was reported on fire. Both Mr.. and
Mrs. Minor were absent from home,
leaving their children and those of
Mrs. John Norton, at home alone.
1t is supposed that the smaller child
rem lit candle and ignited a cloth
hanging in a room in rear of house
used for storage room. Becoming
frightened the children screamed
for help, and their neighbor, Mrs. G..
Sherman, ran to the rescue and ex-
tinguished the flames before any SER
ious damage was done. 1t was a
narrow escape from what might
have been the loss of their beautiful
home.

Assistance Asked to Re.
Single Town Hall.

Assistance is wanted from
friends of the town to raise funds
to re-shingle the Town Hall.
The shingles on south side are
practically gone, and only half of
hall is fit for use when rain is
falling.
To cover the south half of roof
will require twelve squares of
shingles. The trustee in charge
of hall bought last fall three
squares of Cortright shingles for
this purpose, and now has funds
enough on hand to nearly pay for
three more squares of the same
kind of shingles. Appeal is made
to friends of the place, here and
elsewhere for contribution. as it
will take something over $125 to
get the material and have the
work done.

FAV0RS BUILDING TRACKS
NEAR SIBLEY HOSPITAL
Senate District Committee Reports
on Bill Providing Spur on Which
to Load Army Trains.

The Senate District committee today
ordered a favorable report on a bill
permitting the construction of a spur
track across 1st street northeast. be
tween l. and " streets, from existing
tracks of the Baltimore and Ohio road
TO the warehouses Of the Army field
medical supply depot
The bill was opposed by the repre-
sentatives Of Sibley Hospital on the
ground that the noise from tho shunt-
ing of cars nearby would seriously al
feet the patients in the hospital. Mem
bers Of the committee, however, visited
the ground and became Convinced that
the interference would not be great, if
any. As the tracks are needed for load
ing medical supplies for the Army in
France ard in the camps here the COM
mittee determined TO report the bill
It amended it, however. so as to fix
the time for the maintenance of this
spur track "a the period of the war and
six months thereafter. and so that ears
should only be sent over it during the
daytime and only for the purpose Of
hauling the medical supplies.
The action of the committee was
unanimous.

URGES THE AUDITING OF

Subject Before House.

Arguments that Congress should au-

audit the lump sum appropriation now
being made for independent commits
sions just the same as there are COM
rnittees on expenditures in the various
government departments, were present
ed to the rules committee today by

Representative Edmonds mentioned
the shipping board, the railroad admin
istration, the fuel and food administra-
ton, the Civil Service Commission, the
bureau of efficiency, the Council Of Ma
tional Defense, commission on custody
of alien property, as recent government
organizations which are now expendng
enormous lump sum appropriations
Representative Edmonds said that the
people of the country who are con-
tributinS generously to help win the
war expect Congress 20 see that
these vast sums of money are expend-

INTEREST RATE ON LOANS
TO ALLIES RAISED TO 5

The interest rate on loans to allies
has been raised from "A to 5 per cent
as Il result of the recent increase in the
rates on certificates of Indebtedness
from to AZ per cent.
Since it now costs the United States
government more 10 borrow money
from the American people. Secretary
McAdoo felt it necessary to charge
more for the allied bonds. although
these transactions mean practically no
profit to the United States. The differ
ence of = per cent between the Dor
rowing rate and the loaning rate is TO
cover the expense to this government
of raising the funds. and to account
for the tax losses involved in the
issuance of certificates which are free
from certain kinds of tax levies.
The interest rates on allied loans have
risen gradually from 3 per cent on the
first credits last April, when the gov
eminent was borrowing at that rate on
certificates. Later the loaning rate was
increased to 4 per cent and then to
3 y per cent to accord with the rate on
the first liberty loan. Funds obtained
from the second liberty loan at 4 per
cent were loaned to the allies at Az
