Mrs. C. J. Golf, 81 years old, tried
out flying yesterday at Camp Ed,
wards, Sea Girt, N. j.. and gave it
her entire approval.
Gam I too old?" she asked Lieut..
Paul Micelli as he presented herself
in front of the flier's plane.
"Not bit," he assured her, and
carefully strapped her in the pas
senger's cockpit. The plane roarcd
along the ground, shot into the at
mosphere anl climbed zenithward.
AT 1000 feet the pilot turned and
looked at his passenger. She told
him to 60 higher. He came down in
few dives and spirals.
"Was that ten minutes?" Ms.
Golf asked as she was helped out.
She was assured that that time had
also flown.
"Well, Pm coming back Sunday"
she announced as she left the field

ARREST AFTER DEMAND
THAT FORD PAY $25,000
Edward Gordon, Charged With
Threatening Manufacturers
Life, Is Taken

Detroit, July 31.-One of the
boldest attempts yet made to force
Henry Ford to pay money on pain
of death was defeated this after
noon, it is believed, when after two
weeks work by detectives and Post
Office Inspectors from three States
local officials arrested Edward Cor
don, % years old, at APO Dix Ave
nue..
The first letter was sent to Mr..
Ford about three weeks ago. 1t de-
manded that $4,000 be sent to Ed
ward Warren, General Delivery, De-
troit, and said that refusal to de-
liver would result in the death of
Mr.. Ford and Edsel. The letter was
turned over to Mr.. Fraser who
ordered all clerks at the General
Delivery window to deliver no man
for Edward Warren without first
notifying him.
No one called for such mail, but
within a week Mr.. Ford received a
second letter announcing that the
sender was aware that detectives
had been placed on his trail, making
it impossible for him to call at the
Post Office for the money and de-
manding that it be sent in person
to "Edawrd Gordon, 420 Dix Ave"
A dummy package was fixed up tc
be sent to the name and address
given, but before it could be de-
livered Mr.. Ford received third
letter, even more threatening than
the first two. This afternoon the
dummy package was delivered by
the regular mail carrier and imme-
diately afterward Gordon was ar
rested.
According to Mr.. Ford, Gordon ex-
pressed great relief at his arrest. He
told the police he was formerly en-
ployed as newsboy on a train, but
that he had not worked altely.
He was arraigned before J. STAN
ley Hurd, United States Commits
sioner, and his bail was fixed at S3,-
600.

murderers who have been executed
in the Sing Sing electric chair, was
put to death in the execution cham
Der at 11:30 o'clock tonight, after
his mother, sister and brother
made fruitless efforts to get Cover
nor Smith to spare his life.
Hyatt killed Policeman OBrien
in Rochester after he had commit
ted Is burglaries. He said he was
seventeen and one-half years old
when he committed the murder.
Governor Smith was Informed
from other sources, however, that
the youth was about nineteen. No
body has ever been executed in the
Sing Sing chair, it is said, under
twenty years of age.
Talking with Rev. Dr. A. N. Peter
SON the Protestant chaplain, Hyatt
said tonight.
"I hope overnor Smith gives me a
chance for life. If he does I'll make
good"
AS the hours wore on he waited
vainly for a favorable report from
Albany, where his brother, H. C.
Hyatt, was pleading with the Gov
ernor to commute Elmer's sentence
to life Imprisonment.
Before supper Elmer's mother,
Mrs. Thomas Doughty his sister and
his brother, who had come from
Rochester, visited the condemned
youth. Mrs. Doughty had circulated
a petition to the Governor asking
clemency for Elmer. 1t was signed
by some of the jurors who convicted
the youth.
DR.. Peterson accompanied Hyatt
on his walk to the execution cham
Der. There John Hubert the execu-
toner, was waiting at the death
switch, and DR.. Amos o. Squire.

the current. Major Lewis E. Lawes,
the Warden, witnessed the execu-
ton with a dozen other spectators.

TO PASS DRASTIC BILL
AND SEND MUNITIONS

London, July 31.-A bill to deal
with the disorders in Ireland will be
introduced next week in the House
of Commons and passed in all its
stages, according to an announce
ment by Andrew Bonar Law; the
Government leader. Premier Lloyd
George told members Of both
Houses that the provisions of the
bill would be found to be very dras-
tic and that great hopes are enter
tanned that hey will succeed in cop
ing with the situation in Ireland.
Whatever happened, the Premier
said, Ireland could not be allowed
to leave the Empire. Munitions
would be sent, and raliwaymen re-
fusing to handle them would be in
stantly dismissed.

INFORMATION OF ILLITERACY

John E. Swearingen, state super
intendent of education is prepar-
ing to make again study of the
Democratic club rolls work being a
continuation of that begun in 1914
and repeated in 1916. The sigma
lures of the Democratic voters fur
nish fairly reliable index to edit
cational accomplishments in the
state. Mr.. Swearingen wants to
know how many men signed the
club rolls with a cross mark.
A circular letter has been sent
from the Office Of the superintend-
ent of elucation to the county chair
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1920-08-02

man of each of the 46 counties. Thi'
circular seeks to classify the voters
by ten year periods from 21 to rs
from 80 to 80, from 40 to 49, from
so to SO anl 60 years and upward
The figures thus correspond in s
measure to those of the fedora
census.
Mr.. Swearingen, in discussing
names on club rolls yesterday said:
! Hundreds of names on the club
rolls, though marked with cross
do not represent actual illiteracy
Too frequently men consent to have
their names entered by the clerk
and thus marked. The state depart
ment of education is seeking to
arouse a universal sentiment which
will induce every voter not only to
learn how to read and write but al
so to feel it stigma to have his
name marked with a cross. Under
this impulse hundreds will not only
gain the advantage of being able to
read and write but will also escape
the shame humiliation and handicap
of illiteracy.
"Thc completion of the Demo-
cratic club rolls will be made this
week. The cooperation of the sever
al county chairman will be most
valuable in collecting this data as
to the number of men who signed
the rolls with cross"

FARMERS NEED HELP;
WILL PAY HIGH PRICES

IF the present farm labor situa-
ton continues, prices which we are
now paying for food will be looked
back upon as the good old days when
food was cheap. Unless some means
Is furnished to get help to the farm
ers, the situation this spring and
summer is going to be acute, pro-
duction will necessarily suffer and as
a result food prices will soar"
Prof. L. A. Clinton, director of ex-
tension of the New Jersey State Ag,
ricultural College, expressed this
| opinion when Interviewed recently
about the farm labor situation in the
state. He Is considerably concerned
for the outcome.
THE situation is very serious"
Professor Clinton continued, "how
serious has best been realized by the
county agents with whom I have
discussed the matter from time to
time. In the office of the Monmouth
county agent alone there We're re-
Gently twenty requests for hired help
on file and many more farmers than
that a expressed their need for
someone to see them through the
busy seasons of spring and summer.
| county"
When asked for his theories on
the reason for this acute shortage,
Professor Clinton said hat he be-
lieved 1t to be a natural post war
condition and that it would have
been just as serious last year had 1t
not been for the organized efforts of
employment bureaus, the system of
placing returned soldiers, publicity,
! propaganda and man other methods
which lwere brought into play last
year to help the farmer keep up
production.
The minimum wage for men of
ec.r, -n1-1a t. RpA nav, n,ADt1
and keep. Considering the cost Of
room and board at present this looks
like a good-sized sum-. l venture to
say that any man earning $50 u
month and keep on a farm this sum
mer will have more ahead in Decem-
Der than the mar in the city getting
| twice that amount or even more. And
this does not take into consideration
the physical good to be gained from
a life in the open. There are men
now in many factories in our cities
who have either been raised on q
farm or have had farm experience.
They could command a good salary
at the present rate of wages and best
| of all could offer their families COM
Portable living quarters and country
life during the hot weather. n
mar without experience cannot ex-
pect so large a salary, but Will, IL he
Is handy and willing to learn, rave
his place and will be eagerly wei
coined by the farmer"
! The ~practicability Of farmerettes
as q satisfactory means of farm labor
was a subject on which Professor
Clinton was inclined to be very reti-
cent. He does not lay a great deal
Of store on the amount which can
be accomplished by women except IN
some special lines of gardening and
fruit growing. They have shown their
value in these special lines and will
be gladly employed again by farm
ers who as q result Of their labor
have been enabled to harvest q crop
which otherwise would have been
lost.
The farm labor division Of the U.
s. Labor Office at Newark Is the
place to apply for a position suggest
ed by Professor Clinton. the county
agent is also q good person to see as
he will undoubtedly have q long list
of waiting farmers on file.
