He turned in the alarm, and the fire

PERSHING "APES" BRITISH
FASHION. CHARGE IN HOUSE

Washington, Feb. 24.-The cut of
General Pershing's coat and trousers
was debated today in the House. He
and other American army officers
were charged by Representative Con-
nally, Democrat, Of Texas, with hav-
ing "aped" European fashions in
their uniforms and in carrying canes,
General Pershing's coat is split up
the back and his trousers bagged like
the English uniform" said Mr.. Con-
nally.
"He kept his American head" Rep
resentative Wingo, Democrat, of Ar.
kansas, interjected, "but I, too
noticed that his coat tail was very
English"
Deploring the adoption of foreign
ashions, Representative Connally
moved to abolish the title of Under
| secretary OF State anc substitute the
former title of counsellor, in the exc,
cutive appropriation bill, but the
motion was DEBATED, 80 to FL.
During the discussion Representa-,
tive Green, Republican, of Massachu,
sets, referred to former Secretary
Lansing's retirement from the Cabi.
net.
"What's IN a name?" Mr.. Greene
asked. "a Secretary of State by any
other name would have a row with
the Administration"
When the Republicans cheered
Representative Connally brought a
reply salvo from the Democrats by
retorting that the Republicans ap,
plauded internal difficulties of the
Administration.

STEADY INCREASES
SHOWN IN PRICE OF
FOOD AND CLOTHING

Washington, Feb. 26.-The fol-
lowing statement, presenting COM
iparative statistics showing the rise
or decline in prices of retail and
wholesale food and other commodities
as reported by fifty leading Amer
lean cities, has been issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics, United
States Department of Labor.
According to reports received by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
United States Department of Labor
from the retail dealers in fifty cities
the average family expenditure for
food was two percent higher on
January Is, 1920, than on December
I15, 1919. The cost in December was
y. per cent higher than it had been in
any previous month. These figures
show an increase Of, nine per cent
since January, 1919, and an increase
Of 104 per cent since January, 1919.
The comparisons are based on the
leverage retail prices of the following
articles, weighed according to the
consumption of the average family
Sirloin steak, round steak lb. roast,
plate beef, pork chops, bacon, ham,
lard, hens, flour, corn, meal, eggs,
butter, milk, bread, potatoes, sugar,
cheese, rice, coffee, and tea.
Since January, 1919, monthly re-
tail prices of food have been secured
for forty-four food articles. During
the month from December Is, 1919,
Ito January 16, 1920, twenty-nine of
the forty-four articles of food for
which prices were secured in 1918 in
creased as follows: Cabbage, thirty
three per cent; potatoes, stwenty-six
per cent, granulated sugar, twenty
three per cent; onions, eleven per
cent; lamb and rolled oats, eight per
cent, each; hens, seven per cent;
plate beef, six per cent; flour, five
per cent; sirloin steak, rib roast,
chuck roast, bread and cream and
rice, two per cent, each; ham, evep-
GRATED milk, macaroni, baked beans,

FRATERNITY BILL ...
CREATES STORM
IN STATE SENATE

Columbia, S. C, Feb. 26.-The SEN
ate adjourned at 1890 o'clock this
morning and the widest scenes of
confusion seen in that body in many
years. A very heated debate was pre-
cipitated last night at II 80 o'clock
by Senator Clifton, of Sumter, who
proposed to fix an hour today to vote
on the bill to allow Greek letter fra
ternities to state institutions. The
r tie was participated in by Sepa-
tc. Clifton, Bonham and Wideman
in f; vor of the measure, and Seha-
tors Friday and Laney in opposition
to it. The debate became very bitter
and times it appeared as if there
might be personal encounters on the
floor of the senate. While feeling
was running at it's highest and Sena-
tor Clifton was speaking, Senator
Padgett, of Colleton, made motion
to adjourn. The motion was put and
carried. The senate adjourned with
out fixing an hour to vote on the bill.
Following the debate considerable
excitement was created by a near
personal encounter between Senators
Laney and Edward P. Hodges, stu
dent of the university, who has been
actively supporting the fraternity
measure. It required several sena-
tors to hold them apart.
The senate last night passed the
bill prohibiting free range Of cattle
after adopting an amendment which
permits the citizens of Horny, Berke-
ley, Colleton and Jasper counties to
vote on the measure before it be-
comes effective in those counties.
The fight for the bill was led by SEN
ators Christensen, of Beaufort1e SfEe
opposed the amendment allowing the
four counties to vote on the bill.

SIR OLIVER SNUBS OUIJA
AS SPIRIT INTERMEDIARY

Chicago, Feb. 24.-"I am not a
spiritualist; I am an investigator" "
said Sir Oliver Lodge, the English
scientist, today.
"It took more than twenty-years
of thought to make me give credit to
spirit communications" he continued
reluctant, stubborn years of weigh
ing evidence and probabilities. And
even today I do not attend seances
1 do not believe in the ouija boards
and other commonly accepted means
of alleged communications. Ouija is
merely tapping ones strata of dreams
and no more Importance should be
attached to messages on the board
than one should give to dreams
which is nothing at ALL"
Sir Oliver lectured at Orchestra
Hall and dealt as much with the
physical phenomenon of the world as
he did with the psychic.
America apparently does not have
any great or sound body of thinkers
upon problems of the occult" he said
"but for that matter England has not
either. England is not nearly Sc
swept by spiritualism as you are
told. 1t is only the thoughtful person
.on either side whose interest in
spiritual communication is of any
value, and to these it will appear as a
foe to religion, but the reverse. My
studies of it have brought me back to
a religious belief after a lifetime OF
negation."

WILSON'S PREVIOUS
DECISION HOLDS
London. Sends Another Reply
President Considers Treaty With
drawal-Full Discussion of Adri-
attic Question-Allies Note
On Way.

Washington, Feb. 26.-President
Wilson, in his reply to the British and
French premiers on the Adriatic ques-
ion adheres to his previous decision
that unless the terms of settlement
are returned to the provisions of the
agreement of December 9, he "must
take under serious consideration"
the withdrawal of the treaty of Ver-
sailles and French alliance from the
enate.
The response of the premiers was
dispatched from London today, but
had not been received tonight in
Washington.
With the exception of this note
the exchanges on the subject, includ-
ing the December agreement, and
the subsequent agreement communi-
Gated to Jugo-Slavia last month by
the British and French premiers,
were made public today by the state
department.
Holding that the provisions of the
agreement sent as an ultimatum to
