 An agent of the opposition party was in Washing ton recently to ascertain tho attitude of the United States. He said it would be impossible to avert for many months a revolution against Gutierrez.
 The situation in Guatemala was said to- day to be almost as serious, according to private advice.
 The church party. which controls the government under President Herrera faces a powerful opposition in the liberal marty. which already has two candidates in the field for the election to be held within month.

NEGATIVE wins IN
DEBATE ON LEAGUE

The Emersonian Literary So
ciety of the Madison High School
had a very interesting debate at
their regular meeting Friday on
the question: Resolved: That
the United States Senate should
,ratify the League of Nations
without reservations. The af-
firmative was defended by Sarah
Goodloe, Joe Congleton and J. H.
Payne. The negative was ably
represented by Arthur Bowles,
Lafon Wilson and d. H. Starns.
The principal contention of the al
firmative was that the reserva-
tions which have been proposed
are useless and unnecessary.
Many of them were admitted to
be harmless, but their nature is
such that they are not germane
to the league covenant because
they concern OUR own modes OF
action. Article x. came in for
its full share of attention. 1t
was contended by the affirmative
that the first words of the reser-
vation to Article x, namely,
"The United States assumes no
obligation, etc" sounded note
that would cause the other na
tions to think that America was
hedging in her move toward uni
versal amity. The negative con
tended that the constitution,
which gives to Congress the
power to declare war, must be
held as sacred. The strongest
argument of the negative was
that the League of Nations is
the voice of Wilson and not the
voice Of America. The student
body gave the decision to the neg
ative.

FAST TRAIN WRECKED
Near WILLIAMSBURG
Obstruction Thought To Have
Been Placed On Track-En-
ginecr Higdon Is Killed

Fast passenger train No. 33
from Cincinnati to Atlanta, which
passed through Richmond about
noon Friday, was derailed near
Pleasant View, south of Williams
burg, Whitley county, later in the
afternoon, resulting in the death
of Engineer J. D. Higdon, whose
home was at Etawah, Tenn. Sew
eral other trainmen were badly
hurt.
Thomas H. Delaney, of Etawaf1
sustained serious injury to his
shoulder and chest, and George
w. Simpson, of Newport, Ky. also
was seriously injured.
All trains were greatly delayed
as a result of the wreck. The late
afternoon train from Atlanta to
Cincinnati, which was due to pass
through Richmond about six
o'clock Friday night was Is hours
and did not reach here until nine
O'Clock Saturday morning. The
early morning train Saturday, due
here shortly after 4 o'clock, came
through about half past nine.
The wreck is believed to have
been the result of an obstruction
on the track. That a deliberate
effort was made to wreck the
train was the opinion of railroad
officials investigating the cause OF
the accident. A barrier had been
erected on the track, they said.
None of the passengers were III
jured seriously, but many of them
suffered minor bruises. Several
passenger coaches were Icrailed
but none was overturned. The
engine and tender turned over,
