GREER ADMITS GUILT


told when arrested in Cheraw, s..
G., was that he had received a
telegram from Hendrix telling
Greer to meet him in Sanford
to take an automobile to Che
raw. Greer, when captured, de-
clared the machine was not his
and was brought to the South
Carolina point in obedience to
the instructions in the telegram.
Federal officers participated in
this arrest and it is their theory
| that Greer and Hendrix have
been operating with an autorno-
bile gang. The story Of Greer
was that he had stuck to his ac-
Icusations against Hendrix far
longer than he had wished, sole
" because he feared the third
degree methods Of the federal
officers.
What these were the court
headed off. Judge Hoke said he
was willing to hear anything
that bore on the automobile
case, but the fact that Special
Agent David H. Graham, Of the
department Of justice, struck
Hendrix only received the barest
introduction. Mr.. Williams was
not able to relate the circum-
stances to the third degree
charges. And it dropped right
there. Greer stuck to his story
that he alone took the ma
chine.
He and Hendrix agreed that
they had taken a trip from High
Point to Cheraw in Hendrix's
car, carrying a passenger to
Cheraw. There Hendricks front
axle was bent and he had to
leave hisscar. It was while
down there to get his machine,
he said, that he was arrested. By
disinterested testimony Hendrix
proved that he was not in Raj
eigh on the day that the ma
chine was stolen but Judge
Hoke thought enough of the
states contentious to hold him
for court which convenes here
next week. Hendrix gave bond
and was allowed to go home:

BRITISH TERMS NOT IMPARTIAL.
The Soviet Government Hints That
British Proposals Are Not
impartial.

London-The reply q the Russian
Soviet government TO the British note
concerning an armistice with Poland
rejects, in substance, the British peace
proposals, according to the London
Times, which publishes a summary
Of the Soviet answer.
The document is a very lengthy one.
and The Times assures the public that
it will soon be published by the gov
eminent.
The Bolsheviki decline to come TO
London for the suggested peace con-
ference. according to The Times, be-
cause they say Great Britain is not
impartial. They also object to the adj
mission TO the conference of delegates
from the Baltic States, saying Russia
already has made peace with them.
AS TO Poland, the Bolshevik govern
ment points out that the proposed ar
mistice line is unfair to Poland, and
that with direct negotiations the Boil
sheviki are prepared to grant Poland
a much more favorable frontier.
The Bolsheviki reply refuses fatty
to entertain any conditions regarding
the forces OF General Wrangel and the
refugees in South Russia and demands
the unconditional surrender OF these.
The tone of the reply is sarcastic
saws The Times, which declares it is
aimed at driving a wedge between 20
land and the allies by stimulating
Polish dissatisfaction with the British
proposal The Times adds that 1t be-
lieves the reply will make it more dil-
ficult for Great Britain to enter into
trade relations with Russia.

Lincoln, Neb-Prohibition party

gressiye campaign for the election of
Aaron S. Watkins. Germanton, Ohio,
as president.
Mr.. Watkins, keynote speaker of the

candidate. His nomination was made
unanimously,
Mr. Bryan, in declining the unani!

it impossible for me to focus my at
but said "other reforms which make
tention upon the prohibition question
alone" demanded that he not affiliate
with the party.
The text of Mr.. Bryan's telegram
declining the nomination follows:
please deliver the following ems
sage to the chairwoman OF the Pro-
hibition national convention, now in
session at Lincoln: Having been away
from the railroads and telegraph IA
cilities for the past twenty-four hours,
| have not received your telegram no
tifving me of the nomination rendered
me by the Prohibition party conYen-
ton. But, reading a copy of it in
the Bozeman Chronicle, hasten to
reply. l profoundly appreciate the hon

ton. and l fully share in the con-
vention's interest in prohibition as the
permanent policy of our country and
in the strict enforcement OF the Vol
stead act without any weakening OF
it's provisions. l also share the con-
vention's disappointment at the fall-
ure of the Democratic and republican
parties to pledge their candidates to
such a policy, but cannot in justice
to the Prohibition party Nor to n.y.
self accept the nomination.
my connection with othe' reforms
would make it impossible fpa. me to
focus my attention upon til eprohibi-

not willing to sever my connection

so signally honored me in years
past.
Il have not decided yet how
shall vote this fall, but whatever
may feel it my duty to do in this
campaign, expect to continue as a
member of the Democratic party and
to serve my country through it."

The interstate commerce commission

to include prohibition against any
movement of coal to tidewater unless
consigned to New England. This, IN
the view of the coal experts, VIII
amount to an embargo on the expori

Under an order recently issued by
the commission, more than score on
railroads serving bituminous mines IN
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, west VIII
ginia, Virginia, Kentucky and Tennes7
see will begin to move coal to lake
ports for trans-shipment to the North7

to the Northwest is more than tiftyI
per cent behind schedule, and the
railroads will attempt to dump 4,OOol
carloads of coal a day at lake ports

EUROPE MAY HAVE
ANOTHER BIG WAR
EUROPEAN WAR ON BROAD
SCALE is AGAIN LOOMING
OVER THE HORIZON
ALLIES PLAN TO AID POLAND
Will Become Involved In
The Fracas

WashingtOn.-With official infor-
nation regarding the decision Of the
allied powers to furnish military aid
TO Poland in her struggle with the
Bolshevih, government officials re-
Trained from formal expression of
opinion, but unofficialiy professed to
see in the new situation most OF the
elements of a Europ- = war on
broad scale.
Army officers and officials of the
state department generally were very
frankly pessimistic as TO the ability
of France and Great Britain to place
armies in Poland in time to check
the Russian advance before Warsaw
falls and many of them were skeptl-
cal of the power of either of France
or Great Britain to drive their war
weary populations into the struggle
without a serious unhalancing of do
nestle affairs.
Although technically the president
still is endowed with the specially
conferred war powers, there was no
disposition in officials circles to as
sumo that he would involve the United
States in a war between the Bolshevi-
XII and the allies, unless action might
be justified by some overt act against
the army of occupation on the Rhine.
Reports to the state department indi-
cate increasing tenseness between the
conservative and pro-radical groups in
Germany and it was generally believed
that unless the radical element gained
the ascendancy the chances OF the
United States becoming involved in
the new situation were slight, although
a suggestion of American cooperation
from France and Great Britain was
regarded as probable.
For the present it was indicated at
the state department, the part of the
United Staes will be that of an in
terested observer. Steps already have
been taken to remove from the war
area such Americans as may wish to
leave.

ANARCHY CAUSED
BY FREEDOM Fight
SITUATION REPORTED TO Be
MOST ALARMING IN
SIXTY YEARS
BRITISH AT PARTING OF WAYS
Britain Must Either Open Negotiations
With Sim Feiners Or Apply
Force Without Stint

London.-Sir Horace Plunkett, found
er Of the Irish Dominion League. and
leader OF the Moderate Irish Nation
alist Tri-UniOn, told a Newcastle aud
fence that the situation in Ireland is
more gravely alarming than it has
been within his knowledge OF sixty
years.
A similar view is reflected by the
newspapers of both England and Ire
land of all shades of politics. 1t found
expression in all the speeches of re-
cent discussions in the house of com
mons, even Sir Edward Carson declar-
ing he had never known anything like
the state of anarchy prevailing and
that in three quarters of Ireland the
British government has been entirely
beaten" Sir Hamar Greenwood, chief
secretary for Ireland, warned the coun-
try to brace itself against bitter pc
Rod in Irish history.
The rioting in Belfast subsidized, but
there are plenty of signs that the luli
is only temporary.
Both from Premier Lloyd-George'
statement to the labor delegation and
from Sir Hamar's speech, it is consid-
cred apparent that the government re-
cards that a parting of the ways as haY-
ing been reached. One road leads
toward negotiation with the Sim Fem
on the basis of dominion form OF gov
eminent. while the other apparently
leads toward the bitter period which.
Sir Hamar foresees, with more soldiers
and stricter laws for repression, fore
most among them one for the trial OF.
criminals by summary courts, and the
giving up of attempts to induce jury
men to answer to a summons.
There are two extreme factions I'M
Ireland now, the Orangemen OF the
north. who insist upon maintaining the
Irish system as it is, and the Sim Fell
ners, who demand independence. Be
tween these policies lies the middle
course of dominion government with
Ulster excluded, which Premier Lloyd
George says he is willing to con-
slider.
Sir Horace Plunkett says: MY
hopes of a settlement lie far more in
the organized workers of Great BTU
ain than in any other agency"

AWARD TO AVERAGE 500
TO 500 OF AMOUNT ASKED
BY r. r. BROTHERHOODS
Indications Are Men Will Not Accept
Compromise And General Walk
Out Is Feared

Chicago.-The railway LABOR board
created under the Esch-Cummlns
TRANSPORTATION act, will hand down,
July 20, it's first award. increasing the
pay of virtually all the two million rail-
road employees of the country.
On the eve of the decision, reports
from reliable quarters Indicated the
award would average from 500 to 500
of the amount asked by the men, or be-
tween five hundred million and six
hundred million dollars of the billion
dollar total they sought.
Whether an award on the basis re
ported would be acceptable to the men,
no union officer. is prepared to say.
Nearly one thousand brotherhood chair
men and executives held an all-day
session recently to discus union affairs,
and. adjourned till the morning OF the
goth of July, when they will receive
the stIrT&s report.
Feeling of pessimisni was evident
when the union leaders met and pri-
vately they did not hesitate to- declare
that general strike was a possibility,
Later, however, it was virtually GER
tain that the union chiefs themselves
would not call strike, but would sub
NIT the question of accepting or re-
iecting the boards award to a referen-
dunn.
One of the subjects being discussed
is whether the leaders can hold the
men together long enough to submit
the award to a referendum vote, as is
provided by union rules. Some lead
ers say the temper of the men is such
they doubt whether an immediate
walkout unauthorized and uncalled
could be averted if the men are not
satisfied by the boards decision.
