PLOT TO FREE ALL
CONV|CTS OFFICIALS SAY
Pine Bluff Machine Gun Company
Called Out by Governor Of Ark
Kansas and Sent to Farms
FOR WHOLESALE DELIVERY
Two Men Serving Life Terms for Muir
der Among Those Planned for
Release Among First.

Little Rock, Ark, Dec. 28.-Rcliabla
reports of widespread plot to free
convicts III the states penal institution
were responsible for the mobilization
of the Pine Bluff machine gun COM
pany of the Arkansas national guard,
according to y statement tonight by
Governor Brough. The plot, the gov
crnar said, was reported to him by
penitentiary officials and involved
plans for the release of Tom Slaught-
er ana Fulton Green, Oklahoma out
laws, now serving life sentences for
murder.
Slaughter and Green are confined at
the penitentiary at Little Rock and
principal precautions are to be taken
there, but it was learned dctachments
of the Pine Bluff company also will be
sent to the state farms ut Tucker,
where white convicts are confined, AMI
to Cummings, where negro convictS
are imprisoned. Tho governors ac-
ton in calling out troops followed Il
conference today with pelfitentiary
and military authorities, during which
it was stated the reports of the plot
were given out. He said it was no !.
known how widespread the plans may
be.
,. No Details Given
Governor Brough declined to discuss
details of the reported plot, and the
plans Of the state authorities to coun-
teract it, but stated that the troops
would be kept nduty long enough to
prevent the contemplated escape and
make practically impossible carrying
out plans for a wholesale delivery lat
.er. The governor also declined to say
whether the plot included reports Of
outside aid to the convicts, as was the
case several days ago when TRUSTEES at
the pcnitentiary confessed that a SINH
lar plot was on foot to release Slaugh-
ter, Green and other convicts.
From other sources it was learned
that the troops stationed at the peni-
tertiary will conduct thorough
search Of the convicts and the build
ings within the walls for saws, wea-
pons or other tools or matcria s. which
might be used in an escape, and under
orders from the governor prohibited
any visitors within the walls.
The troops detailed to Little Rock
were scheduled to arrive shortly after
8 o'clock.
Six of the II prisoners who escaped
from the state convict farm at Tucker
Sunday night were reported today as
surrounded on an island in the Arkan-
sas river near Pastoria, Ark. Two of
the men were recapturcd shortly after
the escape was staged. There was no

REDUCTION DAY

Governor Cooper having proclaimed
the Bird, day of January next, as Cot
ton Acreage Reduction Day, in South
Carolina, meeting is hereby called,
to meet in the Court House in Mann
ing on next Monday, the 3rd, day of
January. at eleven o'clock, for the
purpose Of taking steps to reduce the
acreage of cotton IN 1921
Similar action is being taken in all
the cotton States of the nation.
1t is the opinion of some of the
best business men Of the country that
a flat reduction of fifty per cent in
the cotton acreage for 1921 through
out the entire cotton bclt will cause
the cotton that is being now held to
BRING far price, and also the cotton
which will be made in 1921 to bring a
reasonable price.
All farmers, bankers, merchants,
and business men Of the County are
expected to attend this important
meeting. The members Of the Cotton
Association in the various townshiDs
are urged to be present as the officers
OF the Comfy Cotton Association will
be elected at this meeting, as well as

Mentioned.

Marion, Dee. 28.-After weeks Of
consideration and consultation. PRES
dent-cIect Harding is nearing a de
clslon on several Of his most I'M
portant cabinet appointments.
IT, may be said authoritatively that
so far no such decision has brnl
made ANA that any suggestions ne
may have dropped on the subject
nave been of tentative and IN
dchnitc nature. 1t is equally Ger
tam, hoWcrcr that in his talks here
WIN readers IN many walks of lie
ne has lEdicatrd clearly what men
are uprelmost in his mind as he ask,
lor advicr on the makeup Of his Of
fetal family.
Those who have discussed the
question with him intimately believe
that appointments under very serious
consideration include the followiny:
List of Probabilities
Charles F.. Hughes, Of New York,
SccrGtary of State; Charles G. Dawes.
OIL Illinois, Secretary of the Treas
ury; John ". Weeks, of Massachu-
SGtts, Secretary Of the Navy; Will II.
Hays, of Indiana, Postmaster General
or secretary of the Interior: Henry
Wallace of Iowa, Src.r.ury OF .Apr,-
culture; Herbert Hoover. of California
Secretary of Labor, ana Harry VI.
Daughcrty, Attorney General.
How many Of these actually will be
given. the places for which they nos
arc most prominently mentioned is
a question that even Mr.. Harding
hmseit Is not yet prepared to
answer. Already several shifts have
peeh maze III his tentative appoint
ment Slate as he has worked his
lea yp pIlI l..
cabinet and other changes are cX-
pectcd before the last decision is
made.
IL IS certain that for several of
the places mentioned the President
eject has more than one man under
consideration and that the list Of
seven possibilities given here is far
from complete. In regard to most of
the cabinet posts decisions may be-
deferred for several weeks, and the
intervening period Of dcliberation
may change the whole face Of the
problem and make one guess at the
present moment as good as another

tary OF State and Secretary of the

DAYS: At the same time he may make

Aside from the seven names mon

the names of several possibilities

conference with Mr.. Townley, with
Mr.. Brinton present who had returned
from Florida with me. Townley
agreed to pay me $5,0OO.OO a year
and expenses to manage, help finance
and assume ownership Of his project.
But at this time l discovered that
over $4,000 had been taken out of the
Scandinavian American bank and in
vested in Florida, and one of the con-
siderations for which was to be paid
was to take care of this shortage by
raising the money and replacing it in
the bank Mr.. Brinton attended to
this for Mr.. Townley by borrowing
money from Townley's farmer friends
up in Walsh county. One of the con-
siderations demanded by Townley was
that l should reorganize the company
and get anti-League bankers into the
company as additional protection to
the political boss, and this was
promptly done and large ads were in
serted in the anti-League papers to
cover Townley's tracks, as Towney
reasoned that it would be easy to
prove to the farmers that he had
nothing to do with it if bitter anti
League bankers were shareholders.
Townley made arrangements with
Lofthus, his new bank examiner, who
inspected the property, and blue sky
permit was secured and about rs
bankers of North Dakota bought
shares. The fact that these bankers
bought shares is proof that l did my
job of keeping Townley's interest
