MANY DRUNKS ON THE
STREETS HERRE SUNDAY

Sunday in Abbeville is being turn
ed more and more into Saturnalia,
with pale bacchus, very vile, much
in evidence. 1t is not by any means
unusual to see Sabbath drunks of Va
rious degrees of intoXication on the
streets and in the various loafing
places. The meanness of the liqlor
crops out in occasional flights and
assured morning after the night
before effects"
Only those cases that become OBJ
streperous, forcing the attention OF
the local police, appear on record
Among such might be mentioned the
following who were fined in police
court Monday morning: Lawyer
Clinkscales, disorderly and concealed
weapons, fined $1,000; Abb Ramey
dsorderly and concealed weapons
fined $500; Henry Simmons, drunk
and disorderly, fined $3.50; Dewey
Simpson, drunk and disorderly, fin
ed $3.50. The last named engaged
in fight in the Abbeville Cafe.

$4,000 Motor War
Vehicles Turned
Over to War Dept,

Washington, March 13.-Approxi-
mately $4,000 motor vehicles intended
for war purposes have been turned
over to the Department Of Agricul-
ture by the War Department for dis
tribution among the state highway
commissioners for use in road build
ing, allotments being based on the
amount of Federal aid for roads
which the states receive. Already r.
900 have been delivered to states and
the remainder will be distributed as
fast as railway cars can be secured
for their transportation, which will
be probably two or three months
This equipment promises to be Of great
aid in carrying out the large road
building program for 1920.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT
NEAR ABBEV|LLE
Jim Wallace and Lee Bourne,
Both of Greenwood, Charged
With Crime-Rushed to
Columbia at Noon for
Safe-Keeping Feel
ing Intense Here

INDIGNATION was at white heat Mon
day morning in Abbeville when IT was
learned that one young white girl had
been criminally assaulted and an at
tempt had been made to crlmlnally
assault another Sunday night near
Long Cane church
lin Wallace and Lee Bourne, both
of Greenwood, have been arrested IN
the case on warrants charging GRIM
inal assault. The two men were ar
rested Sunday night in Greenwood by
Deputy Sheriff Cam, assisted by
Greenwood police. They were placed
in the Greenwood City Jail, but Mon
day morning were transferred to the
county Jail. At noon Monday Deputy
Sheriff Cam and Deputy Marshal Z.
J. Bruce took the two men to Colum-
bia for safe-keeping.
Wallace and Bourne came to Able
Vile Sunday afternoon in one-seated
Ford truck, being seen by NUMBER
of persons who knew them. 1t is al
legged that they hailed the two young
girls, who were on their way to church,
offering them a ride which the girls
accented when the men offered to take
them to church. Instead, it is said,
that the men took the girls beyond
Long Cane church, where Wallace is
said to have accomplished his purpose.
The two men then brought the girls
back to town.
The girls went home and told their
parents what had occurred and the au-
thorities were Immediately notified.
Deputy Sheriff Cam came to Green
wood and the two men were arrested.
Wallace is well known in Abbevllle,
having worked here a number of years
ago for the Glenn-Jones Hardware Co..
and later as plumber.
Both Wallace and Bourne asserted
that they were innocent and that the
authorities had the wrong men.
Feeling in Abbeville is intense and
there was open talk of lynching here
Monday morning. The authorities act
ed promptly and with decision, and by
taking the two men to Columbia OBJ
waited any danger Of trouble here or
in Greenwood, where feeling also was
aroused.
Sentiment here is strongly in favor
of a special term of court to give the
two men a speedy trial and it is very
probable that court will be asked to
call a special session.

Not Satisfactory
to the Mexicans

Washington, March 13.-The. State
Department reply to Salvador's re.
quest for an Interpretation of the Mon
roe doctrine has not satisfied Mexican
jurists, according to- advices today

Pan-American financial congress in
which he outlined the Interpretation
Of the Monroe doctrine incorporated
in his reply to Salvador An unnam-
ed official, however, is quoted as say
ing that Mexico will not accept the

erful. shall fix any line of policy affect
ing the Latin-American republics, es-
pecially in international affairs.

GIVES REASON FOR
THE OVERFLOW
Declares it "a Progressive
Measure of Patriotic Ger
mans of all Parties"

Berlin, Mar. 13.-Chancellor Kapp,
of the new Berlin government, and
Major General Luetterwitz have issu-
ed the following proclamation:
"The overthrow Of the government
must not be taken as reactionary.
On the other hand, it is progress
sive measure of patriotic Germans Of
all parties, with a view to re-estab-
fishing law, order, discipline and
honest government in Germany. 1t is
an overdue attempt to lay the founda-
tions for the economic resusitation Of
Germany. enabling her to fulfill those
conditions H5f the peace treaty which
are reasonable and not self-destruc-
tive.
Appeals for Working Glasses.
INSPIRED by zeal and a d23:re for
the benefit of all the German people,
the new government invites heartily
the acceptance and cooperation of the
Independents for the creation and
elaboration of laws for the better
ment, of the working classes"
The manifesto charges the socialist
government with overburdening the
people with taxation, failing to create
conditions for an increase of produc
ton in all lines, suppressing news
papers which criticize it, and other
wise interfering with personal lib
erty, and refusing to dissolve the
national assembly and issue writs for
new elections.
Ebert Issues Manifesto.
Berlin, Mar. 13.-The government
in Dresden, SaXony, has issued a
manifesto in which it denounces the
insurrection as the work Of Baltic
adventurers, which will collapse of
its own weight within q few days"
1t announces that all orders and de-
crees issued by the new government
are illegal and will not be recognized,
and calls attention to the army Off
GERS break of their oath.
The governments of Bavaria, Bad
en- and Wurttemburg also have is
sued proclamations in which they de-
clare they are immovably opposed to
the unconstitutional Vaccinations Of
reactionaries." These governments
recognize only the imperial (Ebert)
government and the national assem-
bly,, saying that in this they are back
ed up by the will of their peoples.

NEW YORK PORTER
BUYS | HQTE|:!! |: !!

(From the New York Evenin.; World.)
Here's a 100 per cent. true story
about man who started, twelve
years ago, as a $25-a-month hotel
porter, is today the proprietor of a
prosperous hostelry and has no pat
ent on his success receipt-work,
thrift and watchfulness.
The man is Harry j. Choucherie,
head porter at the Hotel McAlpin,
who assumed a 15-year lease on the
Colonial hotel at gross rental Of Il
million dollars. He is still bossing
the McAlpin porters and intends to
for some time to come, besides run
ming the Harlem hostelry.
How did do It? Why, just made
up my mind to do it and now I've
done it," explained Mr.. Choucherie.
"a man is nothing more than he be-
lieves he is. I believed that I would
press wagon driver" continued the
right on this site some day.
"I began life as an assistant ex-

took stock of my prospects in that
line. The best I could ever do in
the express wagon business would be
to get the job Of the man above me.
That paid S195 a month.
II quit the express wagon business
and went to work as a porter for
the Belmont hotel at $25 month. I
worked there six years and learned a
lot. Then I connected with the Nc
Alpin and worked up to be head por-
ter and chief Of transportation serv-
ice. I have been there six years, but
am not ready to quit yet.
II believe man can be whatever
he wants to be. That is, along the
line of his abilities, of course. I
could not be President Of the United
States nor could I push this building
over with my hands-but I have sue
ceeded in being what I wanted to be.
A man should make up his mind
what he wants to be-then go to it.
Work, study, save and keep your eyes
open and things will come your way.
Eyes, am studying all the time.

BRYAN WILL ANSWER
# He IS SURE Of
THE NATIONS CALL
Willing to go Into Presidential
Race Again Under Certain
Conditions, he Says

Lincoln, Neb., March 13.-Should
William J. Bryan's nomination for
President "be demanded under certain
conditions, he would feel it his duty to
consider it," he said in statement is
sued here tonight. He does not desire
the nomination but feels that he owes
it to progressive democracy to go to
the party's national convention ito
help in opposing the reactionaries and
friends of the saloon" he said in the
statement.
Mr.. Bryan's statement took the
form of a personal answer to requests
that he enter the Presidential race. He
said he recognized it to be the duty
of the citizen to respond to calls OF
his country in peace or war"
Feels "Like Il Soldier"
"If the situation became such that
my nomination was actually demand
ed as in time of war soldiers life is
determined on the battlefield
would feel I should consider it," he
said.
Il hope that no such situation will
arise and | do not now see any proba-
bility that such situation will arise
Mr.. Bryan said the Democrats of
public life for thirty years had depriv-
ed him Of the companionship Of his
family and that he now desired Ito
look forward to a few years OF unin-
terrupted happiness at home" where
he could derOte his time 10 literary
work. He added that he had not lost
interest in public questions but pre-
ferrcd to aid young men to carry on
the peoples cause
"Great Issues Before Us"
I'VE have great issues before us, y
he said, land mighty work for those
who are willing to put the welfare Of
the public above their own ease and
comfort and risk all in the protection
of the common people from the as
saults of privilege.
Besides not desiring the nomina-
ton, think it is my duty to the pro"
gressive Democrats of the nation to
go as a delegate to the national con-
vention, if Nebraska Democrats desire
it, and aid them in opposing the reac-
tionaries and friends of the saloons.
This is my position and conclude
with a heart overflowing with graft
tude for the loyalty and confidence
which my friends have manifested"

No Radical Changes
In Football For
The Next Season

New York, March 13.-The foot
ball rules committee after two
lengthy sessions finishing its meet
ng here today without adopting any
adical changes in the rules govern
ng the gridiron game. Some minol
changes to clarity doubtful phraseolo
gy were made.
One feature of some Importance was
the abolition of the punt-out follow
ng a touchdown. Under the new
rule after touchdown is made, re-
gardless of where it is made on the
goal line, the ball shall be brought
out and an attempt at goal kicked
from any point in front of the goal
posts that tire kicker may select.
The objection to a goal kicked from
a scrimmage formation after a touch
down was that the defending side
would have eleven men on the line
of scrimmage against lesser num-
ber on the attacking side.
The definition of a player when
not in motion was qualified to read:
Come to a full stop with both
feet on the ground and still"
In the future when substitute re-
ports to the referee. the player he re-
lieves is officially out of the game
whether he is off the field or not be-
fore the next play is started,
In the rule governing roughness a
phrase was inserted
against roughing a player after he
had made a forward pass.
