COMMITTEE EFAVORSA
DOLLAR-A-DAY BONUS
FOR X-SERV|CE MEN
Commissioned Officers Will
Not Benefit Under Relief Leg
islation Planned

Washington, April 13.-Ccmmission-
ed officers in the military or naval
service during the war will not bene-
fit under soldier relief legislation now
being drafted, it was learned today.
The tentative agreement reached by
House Ways and Means subcommittee
also excludes yeomanettes, ship yard
workers who were in the army or navy
but who received civilian wages, and
former service men who had their
salaries paid by their employees while
in the service.
Final agreement on the rate Of COM
persation to other service men and wo-
mel is expected to be reached this
week, and the bill as finally presented
to the House, it is understood, will be
" ""'>'"cc'tc measure, carrying provis-
ions for home building aid, extension
of vocational training and priority in
land settlements. Those not desiring
to take advantages of these provis-
ions will receive adjusted compensa-
ton at the rate of 81 day. This pay
ment is said to be the maximum a.
mount which can be expected, the COM
mittee having abandoned the later
proposal of the American Legion to
pay $3.50 compensation.
Means of raising necessary revenues
have not been decided upon, but the
Republican members of the committee
are understood to favor the imposition
of a flat tay. not exceeding one per
cent on all sales, while Representative
Henry Trainey, of Illinois, minority
member of the committee, favors plac-

School Convention

Spartanburg, April 13.-lSpeciaD -
Indications point to a splendid repres-
entation from every county in the
State at the 43rd annual State con-
vention Of the South Carolina Sun
day School Association, which will be
held in Greenville, May A, 5, 6.
Quite bit Of rivalry is developing
among a number of the counties as
they cline up delegates to represent
them at this convention. Many of the
counties are planning to send the la"e-
est delegation to the Greenville con-
vention ever sent to any convention.
Some of the counties that have never
sent large representation are nv.
pecting to send representation this
year that will equal any other coun-
tvs. Among the counties that sent the
largest delegations last year were
Calhoun, Chester, Florence, Lancaster,
Darlington, and Spartanburg.
Spartanburg city has been well rep
resented at all of the State S. S.

Guatemalan Rebels
Caught in a Trap by
President Cabrera

Washington, April 13.-Private ad-
vices received here picture the situa-
ton in Guatemala City as a trap that
had been sprung by President Cab
rera on his enemies rather than a re-
bel victory. 1t was explained that the
failure of the President to use the
army to prevent the entry Of the re-
bells into the capital was strategem
employed to give him the upper hand
with a maximum of bloodshed.
Strong government forces were sta
toned at La Palma, suburb, where
President Cabrera is located, and at
other points from where operations
can be directed that will effectually
c,ose all the exits from the city, these
reports said. After the rebels had
flocked into the city Cabrera was said
to have announced to them the capi-
tai would remain under siege until the
insurgents sued for terms. The water
supply would be cut off, food ship
ments be stopped and only women,
children and other non-combatants
would be permitted to pass the lines
OF siege, the message added, in order
to hasten a comparatively bloodless
victory.

Sheriff T. l.. Cam, on warrant
charging the murder of Bentley

killed himself, but the coroner's jury
brought in a verdict Of death at the
hand of parties unknown and in
estigation on the part of the officers

Just what connection the negro
