Lady Aston Is Elected
To Seat IN Parliament

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 2S.-Lady AS
tor, American born wife of Viscount
Aston, was elected to parliament
from the Sutton division of Ply
mouth in the balloting of November
Is. The result was announced after
a count of the ballots here this aft
ernoon.
Lady Astor's philanthropic en-
deavors here during the last ten
years brought her considerable sup
port, as well as her espousal of anti
liquor legislation, which won her a
large vote among the women. She
drove about the constituency on a
speech-making tour this afternoon
and evening.
The campaign attracted wide at
tention, due in large measure to Lady
Astor's nationality, her unconven-
tional electioneering methods and her
barbed and witty replies to ques-
TONERS. Mrs. Lloyd George and other
prominent political personages spoke
in her behalf.
Election of Lady Aston, of Wiz
ginia, to the British house of COM
mons was hailed with enthusiasm by
prominent women in the United
States.
1.-THE election of Lady Aston is not
only a great achievement for her,
but for the women Of England and
the United States" said Alice Paul,
chairman of the National Women's
party.
"Her election is but another mile
post of the road leading to the newt
able goal when all women and men
shall be recognized as political
eoualS"

Colonel Jim Smith,
Body Moved to Athens

LEXINGTON, Ga.-The body OF
Colonel James NJ. Smith, mil
licnaire farmer who died ut his home,
in Oglethorpe county more than two
years ago, has been removed from
its first resting place, Smithonia,
which was his home, to Oconee ceme-
terry in Athens. relatives having de-
cided upon this movement within
the past two weeks.
A huge mausoleum is to be erected
over his grave There was not room
enough in the crowded Smithonia
cemetery to erect this monument
Several cars of material to be used
has already arrived at Smithonia.
Although the major part Of Col
onel Smiths estate has been wound
up, there is yet some odds and ends
in the courts. A few weeks ago the
mississippi heirs, who" fought to
finish for a big cut of the estate,
won $4,000, and it is estimated that
expenses of the case will take a ma
jor portion of this. Mrs. j. F. She
hane, of Crawford, a relative, found
the will which was proved to be the
genuine and last one made by Jim"
Smith, became a millionairess. She
and her husband live at Crawford il.
a modest home, but it is said they
plan to build a magnificent mansion
within a few years. Mr.. and Mrs.
Shehane are investing largely in sub
stantial enterprises in this part of
Georgia. They recently made a con-
tribution of $4,000 to the Baptist
SIS, 100000 campaign.

Dreaming that members of the
"black hand" were Kidnapping his
three-year-old daughter from the
room in which he and his wife were
sleeping, James Sapienza, wealthy
manufacturer of concrete blocks of
Irvington, suburb Of Newark, N. j.,
reached under his pillow. grasped a
revolver he had there, ana fired at
two supposed intruders.
When the crash of the bullet
aroused him from his nightmare, he
found he had killed his wife. This
explanation was so well received by
the Essex county authorities that MI.
Sapienza was released under 100000
bail, which he furnished himse (.
Jumping out of bed in CONSERVATION
over what he had done, the manu-
facturer pounded on the floor until
his wife's brotherin-law, Samello
Varuso, who slept in the room below
rushed upstairs and discovered his
plight. He summoned a physician,
who found that Mrs. Sapienza had
died a few seconds after bullet mad
entered her brain, piercing her skull
behind the left ear.

in custody on a charge of murder,

UNIONS
TOF|GHT ESCH AND
CUM|M|NS BILLS

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Heads of
here next week to plan their fight
against the Cummins and Esch rail
road bills now before congress. The
gathering of railroad men in which
the heads of the four great brother
hoods will have prominent part, will
be preliminary to a meeting here,
December 10, of the heads of all in
ternational unions affiliated with the
American Federation of Labor. At
this meeting, the strength of the en-
tire body of organized labor, leaders
assert, will be placed behind the rail-
road mems declaration of opposition
to the Cummins and Esch measures,
which labor chiefs say deny the right
to strike.
The Cummins bill, which has been
reported favorably by the senate in
terstate commerce committee, but
which has not been finally acted
upon by either branch of congress,
contains a specific anti-strike provi-
sion. Railroad men have said that
passage of such a measure might
cause the very thing it seeks to pro-
hibit.
The Esch bill has passed the house
but has not been considered by the
senate. AS amended by the house
on the insistence of railroad men,
the measure continues in operation
the present system of voluntary ar
bitration boards. Since passage of
the Esch measure, however, railroad
men say they have found Joker"
which makes it even more objection
able to them than the Cummins bill.
The section which the railroad en-
ployes regard as a cocker" reads:
''It shall be the duty of all car
ries subject to this act and their
agents, officers and employees to ex-
ert every reasonable means to avoid
interruption of a carrier subject to
this act growing out of any contro-
versy or dispute over any question of
wages, working conditions of disci-
pline of employees"
This provision is followed by Sec
ton imposing heavy fines and prison
sentences upon any one violating any
section of the act. Labor men here
declare that these provisions might
be used to stop a strike or to i'm
prison strike leaders after one had
been called. Pointing to the inter-
probation put on the Lever act by
Federal Judge Anderson in granting
an injunction against the miners
strike, officials at the American Fed
Grafton of Labor say that a court
might grant not only the government
but privately owned railroads an in
junction on the ground that it would
be a reasonable effort" to avoid a
strike. Railroad men also say that
the Esch bill as it now stands might
be used to force them into compul-
sorry arbitration, another instrument
to which they object.
In opposing the two bills now up
for consideration, the railroad union
heads plan to ask postponerent of
ali efforts to pass railroad legisla-
ton now and advocate continuation of
federal control for two more years.
In addition to fighting railroad
legislation, union heads will rGssur1Ie
their wage conferences with Direc-
tor General Hines with the demand
that they be given a definite answer
before the roads pass out of govern
ment hands.

four colored culprits cautiously
opened a trunk Friday. All they
found in it was about $4,000 worth

hellboy, told the story to the po-
lice after a three hours grilling.
He knew travelling statesmen often
bring liquor to their customers in
the south, and he thought a trunk
belonging to A. J. Goode, a New
York jewelry salesman, held whisky.
Two other boys and a chauffeur
helped him get it to the woods.

which the police had been search
