HARVEY PRESENT
AT COUNCIL MEET
SAID THAT AMERICAN AMBAS-
SADOR MAY TAKE HAND IN
SETTLEMENT OF SILESIAN
PLEBIscITE DISPUTE. MAKES
NO PUBLIC STATEMENTS. =:

Paris, Aug. 9.-General Lerond,
head of the inter-allied commission
for Upper silesia, appeared before
the supreme allied council Here to-
day to explain, events leading up to
the Korfanty insurrection there last
spring. He was bitterly attacked by
Germany for his alleged failure to
foresee the attempt by the Poles to
take over al arge part Of the Upper
Snesian plebiscite area, and there
were hints that he did not take the
proper measures ito meet the situa-
tion when it developed.
Discussion Of the Upper Silesian
problem was to follow General Le-
rond's statement. The ground work
for this discussion was laid during
the first meeting of the council yes
terday, when French and British ex-
perts presented argument in favor of
drawing the frontier between Poland
and Germany along various lines in
the plebiscite area. The italian gov
ernment has announced it will not
take position relative to the from
tier until after the whole Upper ST.
lesion quetsion has been considered
by the council.
The presence of George Harvey,
United States ambassador to Great
Britain, has led to suggestions in
unofficial quarters that he might play
definite role in settling the vexing
Silesian questions. Mr.. Harvey has
made no statement, but there is an
assumption that any action he may
take will be directed by the State
Department in Washington.
Yesterdays session of the council
wa informal in character, and proved
to be rather tiresome, owing to the
fact that the reports of experts had
to be- translated into English or
French or italian.
Brigadier General a. T. Allen,
commander in chief Of the Ameri.
can army of occupation, was called
before the supreme council imme-
diately after it opened this mornings
session. When General Allen arrived
in Paris it was understood that he
had come to consult with Ambassa-
dor Harvey on the subject of the
cost of maintaining American troops
in Germany.

- forts For Road.

Mr.. G. T. Barnes, secretary of the
Abbeville County Chamber Of Com
merce, is working at present on plans
to form a local chapter of the CAL
houn Highway Association in Able
vile County. These associations have
already been formed in most Of the
other counties through which the
road will pass and the complete uni
fication of effort will be accomplish
ed when this county becomes organ
lied.
Much has been said recently about
the Calhoun Highway. It is proposed
to connect the Quebec and Bankhead
highways, beginning at Cheraw and
ending at Athens, Ga. It will pass
through Chesterfield, Pageland, Lam
caster, Chester and intermediate
points to. Greenwood, Abbeville, Cal
houp Falls, and across the Savannah
river and thence TO ERertan 5 and
Athens, Ga. There are only q yew
links yet to be completed before the
highway shall be completed. AL
ready committees have appeared be-
fore the state highway commission
requesting that the proposed road
shall be taken into the state system.
The commission agreed to do this
as soon as the road snail be pu; in
such condition as the body can ap-
prove.
Mr.. Barnes is sending out circular
letters to persons whom he believes
wiif be interested in the forming of
this association. At some date in the
near future he expects to announce
the date for a general meeting at
which time the organization will be
completed.

MURDERS THREE
AND KILLS SELF
MOTHER, WIFE AND STEP
DAUGHTER FALL BEFORE
KILLER TURNS PISTOL ON
HlMsELF-TRIEs TO BURN
HOUSE. -.

Corbin, KY, Aug. "a triple
murder, suicide and an attempt tt
destroy all evidence Of the crime by
burning the house was revealed il
the discovery cary today of the
bodies of Richard McHargue, hi
wife and her step p-daughter and Mrs
Polly 1MeHargue, mother of Richard
McHargue, at her home. Conclu
sions drawn by local officials were
that McHargue had killed the wom'
en- members Of the family and after
starting a fire in one of the rooms
in an effort TO destroy evidence od
his action, took his own life.
The crime ccurred within three
blocks OF the Corbin postofice. AL
though the McHargue home is in
thinly populated section of the town
and separated from it by q small
stream, neighbos today said they
heard the sound of pistol shots at
about 8 o'clock Friday night and
were inclined to the belief that the
tragedy was enacted at that time
The mother Of McHargue and his
wife were found in one room an6
that of the man and his stepdaughte1
were in another. Evidence was at
hand to show that the girl had been
stabbed with a knife, and the body
was badly burned, the fire that had
been started in the house having
reached her body, where it lay on
the floor finally burning out.
No motive for the crime had been
developed today, although residents
remarked that McHague had NOT
been on friendly terms with his
mother, and it was said that he had
been heard to utter threats against
her.

The survivors, numbering 166

RIOT STARTS FIRE
IN LONDON PLANT
FIVE MILLION DOLLAR BLAZE
FOLLOWS ROW WHEN MEN
WERE REFUSED. WORK IN. THE
LUMBER YARD BY OWNERS
OF THE PLANT. ....

London, Aug. 9.-At 1880 tonight
the great London lumber fire broke
out with renewed violence. Only the
skeletons Of a few buildings in Great
Britain's greatest lumber yard are
left standing and several firemen and
policemen have been injured. ..
The fire followed q riot by 5000
started early today and the stock of
lumber, valued at more than $5,000,-
600 covering twehty-one acres of
ground with great piles Of boards and
timbers, is completely destroyed.
The fire followed riot gy 5000
unemployed men who were refused
work by the owners. The origin Of
the fire is a mystery but the police
believe that it was started by disap-
pointed laborers who invaded the
yard when they were told that there
was no work. They upset lumber
piles and hurled rocks through the
Office windows.
A riot call resulted in an attempt
by 500 foot and 80 mounted police
to dispense the angry crowd. The
fire alarm was soon followed. The
fire spread with lightning rapidity
over the quarter Of a mile of lum-
her piles which were thoroughly
dried out by the long drought.
The yards are on the banks of the
river Lea in the heart Of the densely
congested east end manufacturing
district. At one time it was thought
that the entire district was threatened
and adjacent factories began empty
ing their buildings by sending the en-
ployees home and removing the con-
tents.
The fire spread to timber laden
barges in the river, a strong breeze
tanning the flames, making it almost
for the firemen to ap-
proach on account Of the intense
heat.
Scores of firemen narrowly escap-
ed with their lives when piles of lum-
ber and timbers near which they were
working toppled over undermining
three 65-foot cranes which fell mo-
ment later.
Late this afternoon several gasoline
tanks exploded endangering nearby
buildings and huge sprrts of burn
ing gas shot many feet from the lum-
Der yards.
Efforts of the fremen Co control
the flames were ineffective owing to
lack of pressure in the water mains
due to the recent prolonged drought
which has cut London's water supply
almost in half.
Scores Of Scotland yard detectives
were sent out around the yards in
an attempt to find the cause Of the
fire. Despite the belief of ]. G.
Liksten, who owns the yards, that the
fires were caused by electrical trou-
BILE the authorities are rounding up
scores of suspects among the hostile
unemployed who began the riot.

Washington, Aug. 9.-The Willis
Campbell anti-beer bill was passed
by the senate late today, 80 to 20,
and sent to conference with the
house with the prospect of its final
enactemnt before the weekend.
Upon being informed Of the action
treasury officials said that the beer.
regulations which have been drafted
and are ready for Secretary Melons
signature would not be issued pend
ing action by the senate and house
conferees. The regulations would
provide for use of medical beer under
the ruling of former Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer, ruling which the bill
is designed to overcome. - q.
The ban against the prescribing
Of beer by physicians and limita-
tions of prescriptions of wine and
whiskey contained in l., the bill as
passed by the house were virtually
unchanged by the. senate but few
Important amendments were added
These include provision to restrict
operations of prohibition enforce
ment officers by prohibiting searches
or any attempts at searching Of
private property or premises without
search warrants. A violation Of this
clause would be a misdemeanor SUBJ
ject to fine of $1,000 and one year
Imprisonment, Penalties of five years
Imprisonment and $1,000 fine were
provided for persons attempting
searches while posing as prohibition
agents. ...E~
Fourteen Republicans and six
Democrats voted against passage of
the bill. "A motion by Senator
Broussard to recommit the bill to
committee was defeated, 3S to %.
The senate rejected, without roll
call, the "beer and wine" amend
ment of Senator Broussard. It would
have permitted use of beer contain
ing up to per cent. of alcohol and
wine of ID per cent. upon authorize
ton by state referendum. E.
Another. amendment rejected was
by Senator Spencer and would have
given physicians power to prescribe
wine and distilled spirits in unlim-
tied quantities. The bill limits pre-
scriptions to one-fourth of a gallon
and that Of spurious beverages to
one-half Sint by alcoholic content to
an individual in ten days. No change
was made in the house clause fixing
100 prescriptions as the maximum
for a physician in 80 days except by
special order of the prohibition COM
missioner. +
The drive of the opposition forces
against the bill also resulted in the
adoption of several minor amend.
ments modifying the house bill. One
would permit Importation Of wines
for sacramental purposes when the
prohibition officers should determine
that the domestic output of such
wines was insufficient to meet home
demands. Another would bar the
prohibition Office from revoking or
requiring changes in formulas OF
manufacturers making products con-
tanning alcohol unless it should be
determined that such manufactures
were being used as Intoxicating bev-
erszes in increased. volume in com.

COMMITTEES APPOINTED TO

FUNDS-MANY OLD MEN RE.
TURNING THIS FALL WITH
MANY NEW ONES COMING.

MANY NEW ONES COMING.
At a meeting this morning at the
Chamber of Commerce, plans were
launched to make the High School
football team entirely independent
of financial worry. Five committees
were appointed and each one was as.
sessed $100 each and they can pay
it or raise it, whichever they choose
Either way, that amount is expected
60 be turned over to the authorities
by August IL. Prospects for the
team this fall were also discussed
this morning and it was said that all
Of last years team would be on hand
at the first game this year, with the
exception of one man, who is going
to Clemson.
Composing the committees ap-
pointed this morning are Mrs.
Frank Nickles, chairman; Mrs. c. b.
McMurray, Miss Onie Morse.
No. 2.-Mrs. Gordon White,
chairman; Mrs. Allen Long, Mrs. ].
| L. Mcmillan.
No. s.-Mrs. C. E. Williamson,
chairman; Mrs. W. W. Bradley, Miss
Caro- Morse.
No. 3.-Mrs. W, P. Greene, chair
man Mrs. Foster McLane, Mrs. G. T.
Barnes.
No. 5.-Miss Ruth Howie, Miss
Gladys Barnes, Miss Margaret
Bradley, chairman to be appointed.
These committees will begin work
Immediately to raise money to buy
uniforms for about thirty men. 1t is
expected that when practice begins
in few days 40 candidates will be
on the field and that at least ten
more will come in with the opening
of school. In other words it is ex-
pected that with the opening Of
school at least so men will be on the
field trying for places. And there is
sure to be some keen competition, as
many Of the prospective new men
are heavy and have experience.
Among the old men who are GER
tain to wear an Abbeville uniform
this fall are: George Smith, Billy
Long, Hugh Bradley, Ashby Gallo
way, Rayford Mcmillan, Foster
Barnwell, Bill Cox, Francis Glenn,
John Leslie, Gilbert Nabers, Frank
Neuffer, Fred Minshall, Allen Long,
Pink Bradley, Fred Leslie, John
Klugh, Jack Bradley, Buster Howie,
Bruce Galloway, Jimmie Harris,
Claude Gambrell and Austin Roche.
Several new men have already given
their intention to make a try for
places, among whom are Williams,
Keaton, Williamson, Wham, Price
and White. The old members Of the
team will average about 130 pounds,
which sounds rather light but as a
matter Of fact that is slightly more
than the average for a high school
team. If all plans work out, however,
it is expected that the line from
tackle TO tackle will average 1e5
pounds.
Allen Long, captain of the team,
says the schedule for games has not
yet been completed, but there is a
certainty that the state championship
Is going to be in danger from this
