The prizes for tho business

1921, have been given the Min
eral Motor Company and their
japitor, Squire Belts. a very
pretty cup for the building,
which ithe Young Mems Club
paid for and five dollars To the

Had we another prize it
would have gone to G. S. Car.

only buildings that took the
slightest interest in the contest.
How can a few women keep the
town clean, if our men do not
do their part?
If our atreets were kept clean,
it would be more of an adver-

could do. We have very much
that the men will cooperate
with us the coming year.

Large Crowd
Visit Hosiery Mill and See
Machines in Operation.

Between two and three thou
sand people visited the new hos
iery mill at. this place on last
Saturday and witnessed the man
nfacture. of hosiery, which was a
new and inspiring sight to many
of them. The company had set
aside that day from eight in the
morning until six in the after
noon for visitors, and had pub
Ideally invited every one to come
and see the mill in operation.
The knitting machines are be-
ing adjusted and put to work as
fast..as possible, aud this " eek n
number of girls are being en-
ployed and taught to operate
them, and as fast as these learn
others will be employed and the
capacity of the mill rapidly in
creased. 1t will probably take
until next spring before its full
capacity is reached, when the
mill will be run continuously the
year round.
The dye plant will not be put
into operation before next spring,
as 1T is necessary for the output
here and Mt the branch plants to
reach certain capacity before it
will be profitable to operate the
dying plant, but this will not be
later than early spring.
AS fast as the hosiery is fin
ished here it is being shipped TO
Reading, Pa, where it is dyed
and prepared for the market.
The first shipment was made on
last Friday and will continue
each day until the dye plant is
started, when il will be finished
and prepared for the market
here.
The people of the Gap are just
beginning to realize the lmlnen-
slty of this enterprise, and the
great benefit 1t Will be to this
section. 1t is the intension of
the company to establish branch
plants both ut Pennington Gap
and Norton, in addition to those
already at Rogersyille and Gate
City and make this ONE of the
largest hosiery mills in the south.
The grounds around the mill
are being graded and will be
sown III grass and Il concrete
walk will be laid in front of the
property and leading to the en-
frances to the buildings, and the
premises so beautiful as to make
the place very attractive. The
workrooms are we'll lighted and
finished in white with all modern
conyeniences, including q large
rest room, for the employees.
A more sanitary and up to-date
place cannot be found anywhere.

$4,000 WAS PAID IN PLOT
Says Explosion Was Premature -
Names of Five, Including One
Woman, Are Given-WiIl Return
To v. S. To Aid Prosecution.

Warsaw.-A man by the name of
Wolfe Lindenfeld, alias William Linde,
has been arrested by the Polish po-
lice here as a suspect in connection
with the Wall street explosion in New
York September 16, 1920. The War
saw police said they made the arrest
at the request of the American de-
partment of justice. They claimed to
have in their possession the mans
full confession of being connected
with the disaster.
The confession, the police state.
gives the names of the ringleaders
and the New York City address where
the bomb was manufactured, and
says that the bomb was intended for
j. p. Morgan, but exploded prema-
turely.
Sylvester Cosgrove, an American de-
partment of justice agent, at whose
request, in behalf of the department,
the arrest.of the suspect was brought
about, declared that Lindenfeld has
agreed to turn states evidence and is
willing to return to America, where
he has a wife and two children in
New York.
The suspects written confession,
according to the agent, says that $780,
600 was promised, to he divided
among four or five persons, and that
the money was received by New York
Communists from the Moscow Third
Internationale
According to Cosgrove and Paul AL
tendorf, who trailed Lindenfeld, the
suspect in his confession names five
principals now in Europe, who shared
the money for the job. One of the
principals, the confession shows, was
woman who, from a window oppo-
site Mr.. Morgans office, observed the
hnancier's movements for days, and
from her reports the bomb was timed
to explode about the usual time Mr..
Morgan came out for luncheon.
The confession, as described by the
American agents, terms the prema-
ture explosion "a mechanical mis-
take" for which the bomb makers are
blamed, Lindenfeld estimating that
the bomb exploded from 10 to Is
minutes before the intended time.
The plotters also accuse the driver
Of the wagon which brought the bomb
to Wall street of having erred in not
leaving the wagon nearer the Morgan
office

TREATY is SETTLED
AT ARMS CONFERENCE
United States, Britain, Japan
and France Join in Four
Power Agreement

Washington, D. ca new quadru-
pie agreement to preserve peace in
the waters of the Pacific was an
nounced to the world by the United
States, Great Britain, Japan and
France. AS a consideration of the in
ternational realignment, Great Britain
and Japan agreed to consign to the
scrap heap the Anglo-Japanese alli-
ance, long viewed with apprehension
in both America and Asia
The provisions of the agreement,
which is in the form of a 1O-year trea-
ty, are confined to the region of the
Pacific ocean," Under them the four
powers are to respect each others is
land possessions and to meet in con-
sultation if a dispute arises or if the
rights of any of the four are threaten
ed by any other power.
Announcement of the treaty terms
was made at a plenary session of the
arms conference by Senator Lodge of
the American delegation, and was fol-
lowed by expressions of approval by
the plenipotentiaries of Great Britain,
France, Japan, Italy, China, Belgium,
the Netherlands and Portugal.
The signatures of the representa-
tives of the powers have not yet been
affixed to the document, and there is
an intimation that they may be with
held until the question of naval ratio
has been settled definitely
In lieu of signature the principal
delegates have put their initials on
the official copy of the treaty, and
Senator Lodge said this act of affir-
nation was to be interpreted as
meaning that the document has been
approved to all intents and pur-
noses"

AGREEMENT REACHED
ON YAP QUESTION
Americans and Japanese Com.
pose Their Differences Over
Pacific island

Washington. - The American and
Japanese governments have compos-
I'D their differences over the Pacific
Island of Yap, and are preparing to
sign treaty by which Japan retains
Administrative control over the island
and the United States gets the cable
and wireless privileges there for
which she has contended since the
Paris peace conference. Japan agrees
neither to fortify the island nor to
force military training upon the ma
tives.
In the same treaty, Japan's League
Of Nations mandate over Yap and all
the other Northern Pacific islands
formerly under German sovereignty
is given recognition by the United
States on certain stipulated condi-
tions.
These conditions include provision
for free admission of missionaries
and protection of American interests
in the inundated territory and require
that Japan shall report to the United
States as we'll as to the league ON de-
tails of her administration of the man
date.
The Yap cable and wireless rights,
regarded as highly important because
of the islands advantageous position
in the center of the Pacific group to
the south of Japan, are accorded by
the treaty to the American and Japan
ese governments and nationals alike,
on terms of absolute equality. In the
exercise of these rights American ma
tionals are to be free from taxes, Ii
censing, censorship and every form of
discriminatory supervision, and in ad-
dition are to be aided by the Japanese
government in securing needed prop
erty and facilities.
