MAY CONTINUE HUNTER
TRIAL UNTIL NEXT TERM
Charlotte Police Are Still at Work
i'm Effort to tGet Evidence i'm
Montgomery Killing.

Charlotte. n. c., Juno 5.-The
probability was developed Tuesday
that the case against Ernest Hun
ter. negro, accused of killing Harry
l.. Montgomery on lonely by-road
between Myers Park and Dilworth
while riding with Miss Lorraine
Owen on night of May 23. will not
be tried during the weeks session of
criminal court beginning next Mon
day, though one of the attorneys for
the negro announced that the de-
Tense is ready for the trial.
Solicitor George w. Wilson, in a
long distance conversation, stated
that there are already enough cases
on the docket to require the entire
week of court and he remarked that
another session will be held in July
by which time il is forecast that in
vestigations now being carried on by
the police likely will have produced
new developments.
Whether the name OF Hunter
would be presented to the grand
jury at this term OF court, with the
police still investigating, appeared
doubtful also. In the evidence
against the accused negro, the
strongest point is declared the iden-
tifcation OF him as the man who
killed Montgomery by Miss Lor-
raine Owen who is the only known
living witness of the crime
Hunters attorneys have been
working in the case and are ready
for trial at any time the case might
he called, ii was learned. The ne
gro is represented by ID. B. Smith,
F.. Marion Redd and Plummer Stew
art.
The police are continuing their
Investigations along every conceiv-
able line but absolutely nothing
which would have new bearing on
the case has been brought to light.
The officers have received reports OF
other parties being in the vicinity of
the killing, but no one has been
found who would admit having been
there.
Chief Walter b. Orr, who has
conducted the Investigations, said
that the officials continue to havel
hopes of solving the mystery all
though the prospects at the present
time are not so bright 1T is bound
TO crop out" ia a familiar saying in
police circles and the officers are do
ing all within their power to hurry
this.

General Burleson today issued an
order returning the telephone and

In statement accompanying the
formal order, the postmaster gener-
al declared that the existing rates

THE President having recommend
ed the return of the wire systems

MIR. Burleson said, "and the senate
committee having taken action look
ing to their immediate return, and
the house committee its hearings
on the proposed legislation having
indicated concurrence in the suggest
ed immediate return with or without
legislation so recommended, l feel it
my duty to now return the actual
control Of operations to the COM
panies..
Some days ago I directed the nee
essary orders to be prepared to ac-
complish this and have today issued
same. These orders do not affect
questions of rates and finance with
which the congress may determine to
deal. The rates now in force and the
financial relations between the gov
ernment and the companies, and the
order of October 2, 1918. prohibit
ing discrimination because of union

change them or the emergency is

TELEGRAPHERS IN SOUTH
CALLED OUT ON STRIKE

Washington, June 5.-Employes
OF the Western Union Telegraph
company in Florida, Alabama, Geor-
gia. South and North Carolina, West
Virginia, Kentucky, Virginia, Ten
nessee, Mississippi and New Orleans,
La, who are members OF the Com
mercial Telegraphers' union. were
ordered to go on strike Immediately
tonight by S. ]. Konenkamp, presi-
dent of that organization.
President Konenkamp said that
the strike order was issued in sup
port of Atlanta telegraph and tele-
phone operators who went out sever
al days ago. and asserted that IL
would unquestionably be followed by
nationwide strike within a few
days.
"I took the step Immediately upon
learning that Postmaster General
Burleson had ordered wires returned
to the companies" Mr.. Konenkamp
asserted. Authority for IL was ex-
tended by a strike vote taken some
time ago, which has been held up to
see If We could negotiate a peaceable
settlement. 1t is very likely that the
strike will also involve the Postal
company, but that cannot be determ-
ined yet"

will be certified to the states by the
state department.
The absentees, Senator Owen and
Robinson, favored the resolution.
and Senator Smith, of Georgia, was
an opponent. Including paired and
absent senator's, the actual senate
lineup was 40 Republicans and 90
Democrats for the resolution and
nine Republicans and 21 Democrats
in opposition.
The amendment as it will be adj
ded to the constitution If ratified by
the states, reads:
Articles - -, section THE
right of citizens OF the United States
to vote shall not be denied or
abridged by the United States or by
any state on account Of sex.
Section 2-Congress shall have
power. by appropriate legislation to
enforce the provisions of this ar
ticle.'
All efforts to amend the resolu-
tion in the senate failed. BY a vote
of 90 to 2S the senate rejected the
amendment of Senator Underwood,
Democrat, of Alabama, proposing
submission of the proposed article
to popular state conventions instead
OF state legislatures. An amend
ment by Senator Gay, Democrat. of
Louisiana, proposing enforcement
by the states instead of the federal
government, was voted down 62 to
l9. The senate also rejected, with
out roll call, a revision Of Senator
Underwood amendment, proposed
Senator Phelan, Democrat, of Cali
fornia, to fix methods Of calling pop
ular ratification conventions.
Although few state legislatures
now are in session, woman suffrage
champions last night claimed that
ratification soon would be secured.
probably by next spring.

Council of Four Are Discussing
the Counter Proposals
Submitted.
FRENCH ARE UNWILLING
British Delegates Favor Num-
Der of Concessions and the
Americans Favor the Minor
Ones.

mere is probability that Ger
many may secure as a result of her
strong counter proposals some les
sening in the severity of the peace
terms of the allied and associated
powers. Germany's pleas that it
will be impossible to fulfill the finan-
cial requirements of the allies and
her protests against certain terri
torial relinquishments have been
needed and are being discussed by
the 9pcil of foRSk< Paris reports
has ft~h lat in cer1 d uarters of the
peace conference the German view
noint is receiving strong support.
A full discussion of the German
counter proposals, especially con-
corning reparation and other eco
nomic features OF the peace treaty,
has been held by President Wilson
and the staff Of American experts Of
the American peace delegation.
Great Britain is said to favor num-
ber of concessions to Germany, but
France continues firm in her stand
i'oN W "aNeI lIoh tHe original
terms. On the other hand the
Americans are declared to be not
averse to minor concessions, but are
not in favor of going to the extent
the British propose.
The German government is in
censed over the formation of a
Rhenish republic. 1t has ordered
the arrest of DR.. Dorten, the presi-
dent OF the republic. and also has
protested to the peace conference
and the armistice commission at
Spa against the behavior of the
French authorities in the occupied
Rhineland. French support of the
Ithenish republic is characterized by
German government as high treason
against the empire. Strikes by dis
satisfied Germans in the American
occupied area called in protest
against the formation OF the repub-
lie ended quickly when the Ameri-
can commanders issued warning
against the movement.
The supreme council has been re-
Quested., by the Lithuanian delega-
tion TO the peace conference to have
an allied commission investigate al
legged programs and other illega
acts by the Poles in occupied Lithu-
ania.
An unconfrmed report has reach
ed Copenhagen that Petrograd has
been captured by Finnish and ,Es-
thonian troops.
The head OF the Austrian peace
delegation has departed from St.
German for Innsbruck, carrying
with him the allied peace treaty.
Counter revolutions are reported
from numerous towns in western
Hungary. Hundreds OF refugees
are arriving at the Austrian from
tier towns, seeking safety
Sweden and Denmark have come
into line with Switzerland and Nor
way in declining to join a blockade
against Germany in case Germany
refuses to sign the peace treaty.
Like Switzerland and Norway, tn
plea is made by Sweden and Den
mark that such action would be a
violation OF their neutrality.
