Nr, Calvin r. Baucom of Lanes
Crock township died AT his home last
night about ten o'clock. lie was
about eighty years old and last week
suffered a stroke OF paralysis which
caused his death. Mr.. Baucom was
native of this County, having been
reared near Give Branch. He was
twice married the last time 10 a
daughter of the late Wellington Ba-
ker, who with several children sur
vve. Mr.. Baucom was a member of
the Baptist church and was an up.
right citizen. who held the respect of
all who knew him.
The Red Cross campaign in this
county has so far proved a disastrous
failure. according to Prof. Il. W Al
len. county chairman. The city
teachers, with the assistance of few
young ladies of the town, managed
TO raise several hundred dollars in
Monroe, but our apportionment Of
$4,000 is far from being realized.
The teachers deserve great credit for
the time and energy they have spent
in the campaign; especially so when
one considers that they do a mans
size job instructing the children dur
ing the week.

League of Nations
Would Pay Bill of
Labor Conference

WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.-Money ap-
propriated for the expenses of the
international labor conference here,
beginning October 20, is expected to
be repaid by the League Of Nations,
Assistant Secretary Ernest H.
Greenwood of the Labor Department,
in charge of conference arrange
ments, today told the House approp-
appropriation of 100000. Commit
tee members showed disposition to
cut this in half, but no action was
taken.
Mr.. Greenwood said it was under
stood that Germany and Austria had
asked permission of the peace con-
ference to send delegates, but added
that it was questionable whether
delepates from those countries were
entitled to admission. The United
States will not take any official part
in the conference unless the Senate
ratifies the provisions of. the peace
treaty relating to it, Mr.. Greenwood
said, Congress having forbidden the
appointment of delegates in au-
thorizing the call Of the conference.
If Americans attend the conference
at all. he said, thew would be only
invited guests to discuss labor. con-
ditions in this country.
More than 400 foreigners from Is
nations are expected to participate
in the conference. which will con-
tinue about two months. The esti-
mates of expenses include those of
more than 100 employees. d.

SENTRY Stays
NEGRO, PARTY TO
PLOT TO Revolt
1nsurrectiOnist is Killed While
Attempting to Make
Escape.

Little Rock, Oct. 11.-Isaiah Muir
ply, negro insurrectonist of Phil
lips county, was shot and killed by
q sentry when he attempted to es-
cape from the military stockade at
Elaine Wednesday night, according
to Lieut.. f. c. Sliney, former chap
lain of the 38th Infantry, who re
turned to Camp Pike Thursday with
troops sent to quell the uprising at
Elaine.
Murphy was the first of the ne
groes implicated in the conspiracy
to surrender, and he supplied Gov
ernor Brough and the military and
county authorities with information
of the plot for the uprising of ne
groes on October I. Fear that he
would be murdered by negroes when
released by the military, is believed
TO have caused Murphy to attempt
escape.
Murphy was the first negro to tell
of the summons which all the negro
members of the Progressive Negro
Farmers Union" received from Ed
Hicks and other negro leaders to
"come and battle for your race" on
Wednesday of last week, following
the killing of w. D. Adkins at the
Hoop Spur church the night before.
The negro gave the governor the
names Of virtually all the leaders in
the revolution" and is said to have
feared their wrath should he ever be
reached by them. According to Chap
lain Sliney. Murphy is reported to
have told his fellow prisoners at
Elaine that he would have to get
out of that country before "these bad
negroes" killed him. He is said to
have told them he would rather take
a chance being killed by the white
guards at Elaine than bv the en-
ragged negro leaders. who felt he had
betrayed them. Murphy was known
among the white people as good,
Woodworking negro, but is said to
have shown an entirely different ma
tnre to people of his own race, par
ticipating in all the plans for the
killing Of leading white people of
Phillips county.
