DEMAND EARLY RETURN or ALL
Troops Now in Europe-Would Re-
duce the Regular Army.

Washington, June 9.-Early re-
turn from Europe Of American troops
was demanded by Democratic and
Republican members Of the House
to-day during general debate on the
$50, 100000 army appropriation
bill. Various means were suggested
for bringing this about, but the
method that gained the greatest sup
port was that for an even greater
reduction iii tie army strength than
that made by the military committee,
which reduced to 100000 the 509,-
600 figures asked for by Secretary
Baker.
Representative Laguardia, Repub-
lican. Of New York, announced that
he would offer an amendment reduc-
ing the number to 100000, saying
that the War Department would have
no trouble in reaching this average
for the year "if 1t did not have the
money available which it's fingers
itched to spend"
"Gen. March," he said, "has de-
clared that the average would not
fall below 509,000 men, but Gen.
March may not be right. People say
he is very capable, but to me he ap-
pears TO be as autOcratic as Lu-
dendorlf and as much Of IL military
genius as the Crown Prince"
Representative Kahn, Of Califor-
MIA, chairman Of the military COM
mittee, said that it was the unani-
nous opinion Of the committee that
all soldiers in Europe should be re-
turned as rapidly as possible.
General debate on the measure
was closed to-day with the agreement
that 1t would be taken up for amend
ment Wednesday.

cises formally opening "Petigru Col

University Of South Carolina, in con-
nection with the commencement ex-
ercises of that institution.
Mr.. Barnwell highly praised the
ability Of the distinguished lawyer.
The thing that made him great, he
declared, was Petigru's stand for
truth, right and justice, as is borne
out in the various sketches Of the
jurists life. He was unswerying in
his adherence to the right, said Mr..
Barnwell. ~Petigru's paternal' grand
father came from Ireland and his
maternal grandfather from France,
he stated. and in him was blended
the best Of both races.
Native Of Abbcville.
James l.. Petigru was born in Abb
beville District, this State, and his
family was not possessed of abun-
dant means. The youth worked his
way through the South Carolina Col
lege. from which he graduated with
the highest honors in 1899. Follow
ing his graduation he became princi-
pal of the old beaufort College. a

lie resumed his practice following

SHOOTING IN AIKEN COUNTY.
White Farmer Kills Negro Farm
Hnnd After Alteration.

Aiken, June S.-Sibley B. Smith,
a white farmer, who resides near the
Beach Island section, fatally shot
John Lucille. a negro farm hand,
near his place Friday afternoon.
FL ON the evidence submitted at the
coroner's inquest it appears that the
negro refused to go out to work be-
cause 1T was too wet. His employer,
Smith, then told him that he believed
that he (Luchie) was making moon
shine liquor FOR the rest Of the
hands, and that he would report hlm
to the authorities. Lucille, 1t is
alleged. walked back into his cabin,
as II to secure weapon, remarking
ut the same time that he would "turn
some one else up" Sibley Smith
then left. for his own home, and had
hardly reached the place when, on
looking from the window he saw
the negro coming toward his house.
AS Mrs. Smith was i'll and it was
feared, the negro would annoy her,
Mr.. Smith went out to meet the dar-
key. AT the inquest Mr.. Smith testi-
fiedfied that the farm hand drew a
pistol and fired point blank at him,
whereupo. Mr.. Smith shot him down
with a shotgun.
The negro bore a bad reputation
and has given the authorities trou-
BILE. Mr.. Smith Is we'll liked and
respected in this and his own COM
munity. He was permitted to give
bail this afternoon before Judge II.

VOTES TO PRINT THE TREATY.
U. >. Senate Gets Hold Of Copy. but
President Prefers Si.oncc.

Washington, June 9.-Out Of a
whirlwind Of developments the Sem
ate to-day got copy Of the peace
treaty, and, after n five-hour fight,
ordered 1t printed in the public rec
ord.
At the same time it got under way
the investigation Of how copies have
reached private hands in New York
by summoning to testify half dozen
Of the country's leading financiers.
The copy which went into the rec
ord was brought to this country by a.
newspaper man, and was presented
by Senator BOrah, Republican, or
Idaho, just after the reading Of
cablegram from President Wilson in
which he said he could not, without
breaking faith, send to the Senate
the text Of the treaty.
Sensational Developments.
The effect Of the days history
making developments was to clear
the air on the much-debated subject
OF publicity for the treaty text, to
widen the breach between the Presi-
dent and the Senate majority, and to
forecast sensational turn for the
inquiry into the manner by which
copies Of the document have become
available to unauthorized persons.
Starting It's investigation with an
unexpected vigOr, the foreign rela-
tions committee, within half hour
after 1T convened, voted to call be-
fore 1t ]. p. Morgan, II. P. DAWSON
and Thomas w. Lamont, all of the
Morgan banking house; Jacob Schiff,

burg, formerly connected with the
same concern, and Frank A. Wander

City Bank. 1t then examined Frank
l.. Polk, acting Secretary Of State,
about the official copies in the State
Department vaults.
Statements also were made to the
committee by Senator Lodge, Repub-
lican, Of Massachusetts, and Senator
BOrah similar to their declaration in
the Senate that they knew Of copies
in New York, but could not divulge'
the names Of their informants.
Document Ordered Printed.
When the Senate met 1t listened
in silence to, ,PresidentWilson's cable.
gram, which was taken as forecast
Ing refusal to comply with the re-
quest for the treaty text embodied
in resolution adopted Friday. The
reading OF this message concluded
Senator Borah Immediately present
cd his copy Of the treaty, which was
ordered printed by vote of ~ to
"a.
Later however, there was II motion
to reconsider, and parliamentary
tangle developed which enGanGcrcd
publication Of the treaty. To circum-
vent such Il possibility the Idaho Sen
ator in the late afternoon began
reading The hundred thousand-w word
document and continued for an hour
despite many protests from the Pres
ident's supporters.
The effort to prevent publication
collapsed, the motion to reconsider
was voted down, and the fight which
had developed many bitter charges
Of broken faith, and in some respects
had written a new chapter in Senate
history, was over.
