WAGE DECISION HAD
BEEN ANTICIPATED

The credit of railway employees, which
has always enjoyed a very high rating
with merchants and credit associations,
on account of the high wages earned
by railway men and the protection af-
forded creditors through garnishment
proceedings. received a severe blow
when the supreme court of Tennessee
held that employees of the United States
railroad administration could not be
garnisheed. according to one of the
leading railway attorneys of Memphis
Monday.
The decision upholds the attitude that
was taken by the railroads at the
time the government took control, to
the effect that railway men were gov
eminent employees II not subject to
garnishment. The railroads have been
ignoring garnishments since that time,
otherwise employees garnisheed could
now recover from the railroad company
any wages held out through such pro-
| ceedingS.

FIND SENTRY SLAIN
Mystery in Death of Soldier on Guard
at Dix Magazines.

Camp Dix, N. ;, May 19.-Mis5ing
six hours from mis- post as sentry at
the magazine storehouses before his
body was discovered with bullet
wound through the heart, Private
Floyd Nj. Hill, Company l, 50th In
farlt1y, met death Saturday night in
a manner that is mysGfying camp
authorities. A military board inves-
t,gating the tragedy has been unable
as YET to decide whether Hill COM
mitted suicide or was slain while
guarding Government property.
Hill was reported missing from his
post alt midnight. He had been sta
sioned as ore of the guards at the
magazines, at lonely spot north Of
the Pemberton road, on the outskirts
of the camp. Search was made in the
vicinity, and, no trace of the guard
being found, another soldier was sent
TO the station. Early this morning
HilRs body was discovered by the cor
poral of the guard, about $50 yards
from his post, death apparently hav-
ing occurred several hours earlier.
The sentry's OWN rifle had been dis
but whether in seM-destruc-
lion or self-defense, investigators have
not yet determined. Tending to dis
credit suicide is the direction Of TIL
bullet through the body and the fact
that there were no powder stains nor
burns on the soldiers uniform. A care
ful inspection of the ground and mea-
sure,nent of foottracks near where
he body was found is being made.
Hills home was in Blacktown, Ark,
where his mother, Mrs. DoIlie McCur-
ev, lives. He was 25 years Old.
