SENATE HALTS
SUGAR MEASURE
House Bill Causes Wrangle in
Upper Chamber.

Washington, Dec. 17.-Sugar re-
lief legislation passed yesterday by
the House met with a temporary SET
back in the Senate today when an
effort to supplant the pending rail-
road bill in its favor was defeated, Al
to %. Advocates of the measure now
expect it to go to conference with
prospects of enactment before the
holiday recess very dubious. They
had hoped to obtain concurrence of
the Senate in the House bills.
Senator Harrison, Democrat, OF
Mississippi, proposed that the Senate
concur in the House amendments,
without sending the bill to confer
ence. Senator Randsell, Democrat,
CT Louisiana, objected, opposing re-
tention of the licensing plan particu-
larly.
Urging his motion, Senator Harri-
son reiterated charges that Con-
gress was responsible for failure to
relieve consumers from soaring sugar
prices. The sugar bill had been be-
fore the Senate since October 3, he
said, and the House, although the bill
originated in the Senate, passed it
within forty-eight hours. Chairman
Gronna, of the agriculture commit
tee, urging that the sugar measure
be sent to conference, denied that
Congress was responsible and assert
ed that "the President was fddling." :"
Immediate consideration of the
sugar bill, Senator Randsell warned,
would result in prolonged debate, as
he would oppose the House licensing
amendments to the end.
The Senate reached an agreement
tonight to consider the Sugar bill
from / until 1890 o'clock tomorrow,
temporarily replacing the railroad
bill. Leaders, however, expressed
The belief that there was little pros
pect Of final vote~n the sugar bill
tomorrow in view of announced plans

Peak, Dec. 16.-On Friday, Decem
ber 12, this community was shocked
by a terrible tragedy when the young
12 year old son Of Nr. and Mrs. W.
H. Sube- of Peak was found dead II
the woods with a shot gun wound in
the head. Exactly how the young
boy met his death is not known. He
left home in the afternoon on horse
back with his fathers shotgun to 90
hunting. Not very long after he LETT,
the horse he waS rlding came nome.
Nothing at first was thought OF this
as it was expected that the boy would
return in a short while. Near night
the family becoming alarmed over his
absence, searching parties were form
ed and near 8 p. N. his body was
found in patch Of woods.
At the inquest which was held Mon
day it developed that his body was IN
a patch of woods about 200 yards
from the main road, stretched out on
his back with head up the hill. The
wound was done with shotgun, en-
tering back of head behind the right
ear perforating the skull, ranging
downward and to the left making its
entrance through left lower jaw. No
mark of VIOLENCE was found on body.
The cap which he wore at the time
was still on his head, showed no pow
der burns. An empty gun shell was
found near the body also gun wad.
His horse had been hitched about 40
steps from where he was and nearer
the road. The chain which the horse
was hitched with was not found. No
trace of the gun with which he left
home has been found, although re-
peatedly search has been made. The
jury did not return d verdict, the
case being continued for further in
vestigation, although a young negro.
boy was placed in Jail on the evidence
of his 12 year old brother who testi-
fed that his brother told him that he
had killed Harold Suber and had the
gun. The boy arrested denies any
knowledge of the affair.
Sheriff Miller is still at work on the
case and it is hoped the mystery sur
rounding the young boys death will
soon be cleared up.

JOHN W. CHAPMAN,
Clerk.

Newberry, S. c., Dec. 18th, 1919.
Mr.. Wright thanked Mayor Blease
and the council for this expression
of their regard and said that he could
wish that nothing better be said. He
had tried to do his duty and appre-
ciated this expression from the coan-
Gil.
The council then retired to the Of
fee of the clerk and treasurer and
the board of health held a meeting
in the council chamber.
Several matters were taken up by
the new council. Mayor Blease an
nounced that all sessions of the coun-
ell would be public, unless they de-
cided to have an executive session,
and he gave a special invitation to
the newspaper representatives to at
tend all meetings. The editor was
present at the change of administra-
tions, and in response to the invita-
ton attended the first session of the
new council 1t is not our purpose
to write up this meeting in detail, but
we think the idea of public meetings
of council is good one, and we shall
endeavor to be present or have a
representative present as often as we
can.
Mayor Blease said he desired the
hearty cooperation of all the members
in all matters that were for the good
and the advancement of the town.
and that so far as he was personally
concerned he believed in retaining all
the employees of the Own VINO were
now in the service. if they desired to
remain, and if their service had been
efficient.
It was decided to increase the
salaries of the policemen and the
clerk and treasurer and all the men,
bers felt that the increase should be
even more than it was, but that the
financial condition was such that they
could not make it more at this time.
The salary of the chief was raised
from S1O0 per month to $11O.
Policemen from $50 to $50 per
month. Street overseer from $50 per
month to sos. The clerk and treas
urer from $95 to 500 per month.
Chief Rodelsperger and Policemen
Cousins, Tobias and Stone, were re-
elected, Policeman Harman declining
to serve any longer. Clerk and
Treasurer John W. Chapman was re-
elected. Joe W. Werts was reelected
street overseer and Rial Bates Janitof.
Bates has served the town continu-
ously in some capacity for At years.
Mayor Blease announced that the
ordinances gave the mayor the right
TO appoint the city attorney and it
gave him great pleasure to name the
present city attorney, Mr.. James B.

lieve there was another man IN town
who could have led the people so
successfully in all the war drives

Miss Adkins is enthusiastic in
her praise OF the condition in
which she finds the Y. W. c. A, CT
its beautifully equipped admins
tration house and girls dormitory
and of the manner in which the
work has been carried on during
the summer without the aid of a
general secretary.
In speaking of the work that she
is to take up here Miss Adkins to-
day said: There is one impress
sion that l am very anxious to
place right before the public and
that is that the Y. W. c. A. wants
and is most anxious to minister to
the wants of all the women of the
city. The Y. W. c. A. does not exist
alone for the woman in industry, it
is just as anxious to reach the
women of the leisure class. in fact
the latter class of women will find
the Y. W. c. A. a most satisfactory
place. We are anxious to make the
Rock Island Y. W. c. A. live up TO
one of its texts, that of making life
more abundant. There is work for

The Y. w. c. A. is working to

that is the work that the Y. W. C.
A is ready to do, and its rooms are
always open TO all organizations

The staff of the Rock Island Y.
NJ. c. A. is wonderfully efficient

not help but move along with great
success. The administra ton

One of the most interesting new
acquisitions to the art of the screen
is Princess Paul Troubetskoy. The
wife of the Russian sculptor, who
with her husband has been fitting
about the California studios, has
been persuaded to take a leading
role in one or more productions
based on the works of Upton Sin
clair. The first will be SHAM" a
caustic satire on modern high life,
and the second. Sinclair's novel,
The Millennium"
The famed stately beauty of the
princess and her intimate knowl-
edge of life at all the upper levels
will make her an ideal central fig
ure for the novelist's first venture
into the realm OF the screen. The
director for the Romayne company.
which will film Sinclair's The
Jungle" and other works, is Wal
ter Mcnamara, who served four
terms as a political prisoner in
Ireland and shares Sinclair's rad
ical sympathies. He directed "Traf-
fic in Souls" one of the most prof
liable pictures ever made.
Clara TO Leave Schreenl Perhaps.
Since the farewell appearance OF
Adelina Patti, Madame Barnhardt

mention, the public of this genera
ton has become less credulous
than its fathers. II will therefore
classify Clara Kimbail Young's an
nouncement O. an early retirement

Miss Young declares that she will
make eight more pictures and then
will begin a pleasure tour of the
world that will include Europe, the
