Danville, Va, July 24.-killing
of Hosea L. Thomas, King of the
Moonshiners," and the arrest OF
four Federal liquor agents charged
with his murder, have produced an
undercurent of feeling in Danville
unprecedented in years.
On one side are the mountain
people. On the other stand the
temperance forces.
The city stands at the gateway
of Henry County, through which
the moonshine traffic flows from
the hills of Patrick and Franklin
counties to the more densely set
tied sections of Virginia and the
Carolinas.
Moonshining has made many of
the mountaineers wealthy beyond

the Illicit traffic increase.

Allies Turn Down
Wilson's Proposal
On Polish Border
BY HENRY WOOD.
(United Press Correspondent.)


Paris, July "a. A note has
been sent to Washington declin-
ing President Wilson's propo-
sal to the Council of Ambassa-
doris that an international COM
mission be appointed to adjust
the Teschen boundary dispute
between Poland and Czecho-Slo-
vskia, the French foreign office
announced tonight.
The Presidents note was sub
mitted to the ambassadors yes
terday.
The allied reply was a polite
refusal. 1t pointed out that the
question was being settled by
methods already approved by
both Poland and Czecho- Slova-
kia, and explained the difficulty
of shifting the negotiations at
this late date for a new plan
which would necessitate a COM
pletely new start.
The foregoing dispatch was the
first word received in the United
states that President Wilson
had taken a hand in the Tes-
chen dispute, which has kept
Poland and Czecho -Slovakia on
the verge OF war ever since the
original peace conference in
Paris.
