Indictment Returned.

Stanardsville. Va. April G.-Judge
journed the Green County court to
May 6. On that day the cases Of Ed
gar Morris and Harmon Shifett. in
dicted for the murder of Magistrate
B. G.. Sullivan, will be called.
The case OF Shiflett, indicted for at
tempted murder OF Judge Henry Nor
ris. was called yesterday. but was
continued at request OF his counsel
because he had not been able to get
his witnesses called.
The defense will try to have the
youth-he Is 1T-committed to a re-
formatory. but the State will resist
this because OF the enormity of the
crime and the additional fact that he
participated in the murder OF the
magistrate.
Soldiers VIII Return.
Due solely to the presence OF the
military yesterday the village was
quiet and orderly. Only two men
were found carrying arms. one Of
them Dunkard preacher. with whom
Edgar Morris has long been at odds
and whom he has often attacked.
The soldiers will return to the
county when the cases are called for
trial. Morris has threatened to re-
Turn to the town and to ATTEND to a
few men who have crossed his path"
but he failed to show up. He de-
clares that he Is coming in and wind
up his business. The man is hiding
in the mountains near here, has hun
dreds of friends, and there is a re-
ward of 5000 for him.
Morris, aged %, Is an athlete,
cunning. crafty. fearless. and there
are men of the same type who are
trailing him with the sheriff and
who want the reward. The mans
father has lost all property as the
result of the failure of his son to
show up The father is a deputy
sheriff.
Hundreds of the men attending
court yesterday were armed, but
they failed to come to the court
green. which meant that they would
be searched by the soldiers. They
kept outside and the fact that they
had guns did not become known to
the officers. Presence of the military
alone prevented an outbreak yester-
day and the impression created by
the soldiers has been sufficient to
the law will be upheld.
Fails to Appear.
Edgar Morris. clansman and gun
man. apparently has postponed his
threat to shoot up the local court
house and town. His challenge from
the Virginia hills, accepted by the
Albemarlc Rifles. rushed here from
Charlottesville. was not carried out
The grand jury indicted Morris
for numbering Magistrate G. Sui
livan, who had imposed a slight fine
on him for assaulting a pastor
here. \ second indictment charged
Morris with numbering James Nor
rIs at Christmas dance.
1t was to shoot up this jury that
Morris threatened to leave his
mountain retreat. Failing to do so
the troops today went home, and
plans were laid for continuing pur-
suit of the clansman.

Fear Of Anarchy Cause of
Turkeys Plea for Peace

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 28.-Ap
peals that early arrangements be made
for negotiating a peace treaty, sent by
the Sublime Porte to the peace confer
ence in Paris are said to have been
inspired by the fear that Turkey may
be plunged into anarchy with no re-
sporsible government left to treat
with the allies. At the same time the
grand vizer is urging country districts
to hurry arrangements for elections so
that parliament may meet here and
be ready to discuss the terms OF peace.
At present the in .erior OF the coun-
try is not controlled by the govern
ment, which cannot collect taxes and
has no funds. This financial situation
it is pointed out is liable to throw the
country in to the hands Of any other
which may make it a loan. Nobody
in this city, allied or otherwise, ap-
pears TO have any information as to
how matters are to be settled although
the French, Italians, Greeks and Brit
ish are occupying zones agreed upon
among themselves. The Turks are pre-
pairing to make an effort to excite in
terest in America for a mandate over
this country and plan to send pub
licists to America for that purpose.
Delay in reaching a settlement it Is
declared. is dangerous for the allies
as well as the Turks, as the former
are not cooperating to the fullest ex-
tent.

BY Cousin; Mcy Die

OXFORD, O., Nov. 2S.-Miss Col
die Bridgewater, age about IS, daugh-
ter of Logan Bridgewater. living -
miles northeast of Oxford, probably
was fatally shot Thursday at her
home.
The young woman had driven in
front of the house in an automobile,
just as Logan Thomas, her cousin,
approached with a shotgun, he being
on his way to hunt. A dog, with a
chain on his collar, ran out OF the
yard and jumped up on the youth. AS
he pushed the dog away the chain
caught the hammer of the shotgun
and the weapon was discharged, the
load striking the girl in the breast
and face. Several shot penetrated
the lungs, and one shot passed
through the ear into the brain. The
sight of one eye also was destroyed.
Miss Bridgewater was rushed to 2
hospital at Rensselaer,, where it was
said that her chances Of recovery
We're slight. The Bridgewater family
formerly lived in Scott county.

CHAMBER ILAIN, FORMER CONSUL GENERAL
TO MEXICO, DEh0UNCES CARRANzA RULE

While chaotic conditions obtain in
Mexico, Mr.. Chamberlain said, he was
Of the opinion that the situation was
not hopeless. He said he had a posi-
BILE solution" to the problem but that
it would not "countenance the backing
by the United States of any of the
dominant class in Mexico for that class
is universally corrupt. I hold a brief
not for any special interest,"" he said
The former Consul General would
not say what his solution" is other
than to say that in it lay the posi-
bility of establishing such conditions
as exist in Cuba and the Philippines.
He declared that the latin ''incrusta-
ton" had been the "damnation Of
Mexico" that over and over again the
100000 or 1000 Latins had used the
ignorant populace of 100000 Indians
in sort of game Of leap-frog to vault
from the bent back of the peon into
the saddle of government.
Masters Of Procrastination.
Eve are at grips with past masters
in the Turkish art Of procrastination."
said Mr.. Chamberlain. Left to them
selves the present Mexican authorities
will know more than they have during
the past two years, take step toward
rapprOchment with the United States
nor will they stop the murder Of Amer
lean citizens nor relinquish a strang-
ling grip on foreign-owned properties,
nor subjugate completely the innumer-
able bands Of outlaws.
The present government has tried
to establish a popular illusion that it
stands by Madero's altruistic princi-
pies. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The present rulers Of Ma
dero's unhappy country have profited
by his ineptitude ony to the extent of
holding up his imperative dogmas as
a screen to a government that stands
by the grace Of banditry, pillage, inter
national affronts, race-hatred and the
major tenets of Bolshevism. At its
heart is eating the same cancer that
has brought death to everyone of its
long line of predecessors-graft on
such as scale as is beyond the concep-
! ton of the Anglo-Saxon mind"
