Violent Death !.
Of Chicago Man
Presents Puzzle

Chicago. July 31-Miss Ruth Woods,
a pretty hotel cashier, who was alone
with Samuel T. A. LOFTS, head Of the
diamond firm Of Lofts Brothers, whe-
he died suddenly in his luxurious
apartment last night. told the police
today that Lofts crumpIed to the
floor dead after they had engaged in
La friendly struggle"
Although the police believe Lofts
died as result Of concussion Of the
brain. probably caused by fall. they
are not satisfied with the conflicting
stories told by Miss Woods and Roy
M. Shayne, son Of late millionaire
merchant.
Miss Woods, who described Shayne
las her fance, said she was called by
Lofts to his apartment at one O'Clock
yesterday afternoon; that they danced
land drank together.
Having playful Struggle
I'VE were having playful strug-
|gle,'' Miss Woods declared. "and my
|attention was momentarily distracted
from him. The next instant I was
startled by the sound Of his body fall
Ting on the floor, T was At q loss to
know what to do and rushed to the
Telephone to .lummon Mr.. Shayne.' a
According to the stary Shayne told
the police, he reached the Lofts apart
ment at about o'clock; that Lofts
opened the door to admit him and sud
denly crumpled up on the floor. AS
soon as Shayne arrived, Miss Woods
fled from the apartment. In the
meantime Shayne called physician
and when he arrived the, body Of Loft
tis was cold. indicating that LOFTS had
been dead for some time. The police
are convinced that Lofts died before
Shayne arrived.
Fall Theory Upheld.
Chicago, July 31:-Following an au-
topsy, DR. James F. Simnonds, coro-
ners physician, said Lofts death was
caused by cerebral henmorhage pro-
duced by external violence. The in
jury probably was the result of Lofts
fall the physician said.

Advances of forty per cent in freight
rates in the east; rs per cent in the
south; 354 per cent in the west and 25
per cent in the mountain Pacific ter
ritory, were granted.
Passenger Fares Raised.
Passenger fares were increased 20
per cent, the amount asked by. the
railroads to help In absorbing the
5000, 900, 400 wage increase granted by
he railroad labor board.
A. surcharge OF SO per cent on rates
for sleeping and parlor cars was grant
ed togethe with 90 per cent increase
in the rates on excess baggage and 70
per cent in the rates on milk.
The increases may become effective
upon five days notice given by IT,
carriers to the commission ana the
public and they must be put into ef-
.ect before January /, 1921. Since the
guarantee to the roads ex-
oires, on September 1st. it is generally
expected that the advance will be pu:
nto force before that date.

Fertilize And Plow
Deep To Beat Weevil

"Plow the soil deep, and put plen-
ty of fertilizer under the cotton" is
the advice given Sumter county farm
ers by George o. Marshall, county
farm demonstration agent. Mr..
Marshall is engaged in an effort to
have cotton farmers here restrict
their planting to not exceeding ten
acres to the plow. In order to beat
the boil weevil, Mr.. Marshall says,
cotton should be well fertilized be-
fore the planting season, and if any
fertilizer at all be used later, it
should consist solely of an applica-
tion of nitrate of soda when the cot
ton is chopped out.
About so per cent of the farmers,
Mr.. Marshall says, have plenty of la
Dor to cultivate their farms, while the
other half are experiencing some diff
fculty in securing needed help. He
is advising farmers to p<nt large
forage crops, and predicts that corn
will sell this fall for unusually high
prices.

SUMMERS With
HARVEY AGAIN
Sheriff Announces For
Reelection -Glawson
Still Mum

That he is candidate for re-elec-
tion, and that Deputy Sheriff Tom
Summers will continue to serve as
deputy if he is chosen again is the
announcement of Lucius Harvey,
sheriff of Sumter county, in his card
appearing in another column of this
paper. Mr.. Harvey's platform, as he
announces it, is that he will do his
duty as sheriff of Sumter county if
retained in that office.
The formal announcement of Sher-
iff Harvey caused renewed speculation
today as to the probable action of
James L. Glawson, who has been wide
ly discussed in connection with the
race for sheriff, but who thus far has
declined to say anything definitely on
the subject for publication.
The statement was. made yesterday
by a reputable and well known citi-
zen of Americus that Mr.. Glawson
had told him only shortly before that
he was definitely in the race and that
he would make his formal an
nouncement "in a day or two." Mr..
Glawson was confronted with this in
formation late yesterday, but he met
the reporter with the information that
he was still "closed up like clam"
"All | can say" said he, sis that if
| decide to enter the race | will an
nounce within a day or two"
1t was stated today by friends of
Mr.. Glawson that he would positively
announce, naming John Monohan as
his deputy.
Several other announcements for
county offices have appeared since the
formal cali for the primary by the
committee, all of the new ones, how
ever, being incumbents and without
opposition. One of the latest an
nouncements is that of Ed jenkins, of
Leslie, Sumter's blind coroner, who
asks reelection.

Washerwoman Came
To Work In Limousine

CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-The haugh-

her work in her own limousine. She
also insists upon a full meal, served
in the best style, in the dining room,
not in the kitchen, and various other
concessions hitherto unknown.
Mrs. Lewis F. MasoR, wife of a
United States commissioner, can fur
nish testimony along these lines. She
recently advertised for a washwom-
an to come to her home in Wauke-
gan.
The next day she received tele-
phone call from woman, who ap-
piled for the position. Questioning
brought out the information that she
lived seven miles distant.
"Seven miles out, why, how can
you get here?" asked Mrs. Mason.
"Tll come in my limousine, o.
course" was the answer, providing
you have garage or proper parking
room in your yard"
Mrs. Mason employed her.
