JOHN ROBINSON
CLAIMED BY DEATH
FORMER CIRCUS OWNER VIC.
TIM OF BRONCHITIS
Funeral Services for Well Known
Man to Be Held in
Cincinnati

Miami, Fla, April 30.-John F.
Robinson, retired circus owner, died
at his winter home this evening of
chronic bronchitis: He was II years
Of age.
M. Koblnton had been subject to
bronchitis for number of years. The
last attack overlook him about two
years age. He failed rapidly and his
advanced age proved a barrier to re-
covery.
John Robinson, Jr., his son, arrived
yesterday from Cincinnati and with
Mrs. H. F. Stevens, daughter, was
at the bedside when death came. The
body will be sent to Cincinnati to-
morrow morning. The funeral will be
conducted there.
Mr.. Robinson was born November
4, 1S43, in Linden, Ala, not two hun
dred yards from his fathers show.
At the age of IS months he entered
the sawdust ring on career as per-
former, which ultimately made him
one of the largest circus owners in
the world At Is years he had ac-
cumulated enough with the aid of his
father to start on the road with a
circus of his own. This expanded
until after the Confederate war it
became so cumbersome to transport
about the rough country in wagons
that Robinson conceived the idea of
carrying it by train.
1t was the first time circus had
travelled in cars. Today the John
Robinson circus is traversing the
country and it. requires So cars to
carry it. :
During the Confederate war Mr.,
Robinson was an officer in the Federal
navy. He spent much time and money
in the years that followed. in re-
building the devastated sections. j
Mr.. Robinson was one Of four men
who organized the United States
Playing Card corporation of. Cincin-
natl, of which he was a director at
his death. He also was director of
the United States Lithographing COM
pany of Cincinnati.

COTTON EXPORTS
TO BE EXPEDITED
MOVEMENT TAKES LONG STEP
FORWARD.
Managing Director Of War Finance
Corporation in Conference
at Atlanta.

Atlanta, April 5O.-The movement
to expedite the export of American
cotton took long step forward to-
day in the opinion of more than 100
representative exporters and finan-
ciers who discussed the situation with
government officials and were prom
ised as great cooperation as possible
by Eugene Meyer, Jr., managing di-
rector of the war finance corpora
ton at Washington.
For one thing Mr.. Meyer promised
to recommend to the corporation that
credits be extended on bona fide sales
of cotton at interior points for ex-
port, instead of while it is at ports
for export as at present. w. L. Clay
ton, a cotton exporter of Houston,
Texas, in making plea for such ac-
ton, declared it would render in
valuable aid to exporters
The proposal that the government
arrange to insure exporters against
loss from wars and revolutions in
foreign countries also was discussed
and a committee was appointed to
take up this and other proposals with
government officials. The committee
will meet in Washington May 9 for a
conference with the war finance cor
poration to develop a plan of action.
Washington, April 30.-A bill au-
thorizing the federal reserve board
to loan from it's accumulated interest
fund the sum of s50,000,000 to the
federal farm loan board for aiding
the farmers was introduced today by
Representative Brand of Georgia. The
money would enable the farm board
to take care of loans already ap-
proved and applications now pending.

HARDING URGES
STRICT ECONOMY
WARNS HEADS OF ALL DE
PARTMENTS
President Tires of Living Beyond
Allowance and Later Getting
Deficit Made Good.

Washington, May 3.-Confronting
deficiency estina ates Of upwards of a
half billion dollars, President Hard
ing informed the executive depart
ments of the government today that
they must put an end to the habit of
living beyond their allowances and
then calling on congress to make up
the deficit.
In a letter to each Of his secreta-
r:es and in an extended discussion at
the cabinet meeting the president laid
it down as a policy of his administra-
ton that only grave emergencies
should warrant the expenditure OF
public funds prior to their appropria-
ton by congress. He emphasized his
belief that the long standing practice
of making such expenditures without
congressional authority was one OF
the most dangerous tendencies OF
administrative government and one
of the greatest barriers to economy.
During discussion of the subject at
the cabinet meeting there was some
discussion of creating a permanent
commission to pass judgment on
emergency expenditures, which de-
partment heads might recommend
when congress is in recess or can not
be. acted upon Immediately for other
reasons. The suggestion did not lead
to definite decision but so far as it
took form, it provided that the chair
man of the senate and house appro-
priations committee and the director
or the proposed budget system should
hold membership on such a commits
sion.
Mr.. Harding sent his warning to
department heads at the recommends
ton of Chairman Warren of the SEN
ate appropriations committee, who
pointed out that deficiency estimates
already before the present congress
amounted to 100000 and that
others yet to- be submitted probably
would bring the total above s4OO,-
100000. Most of these sums were
said by cabinet officials to have been
expended by the last administration
on projects inaugurated by it.

WORK UNDER WAY
MISS PARISH INAUGURATES
WORK AS NEWBERRY AGENT
Chamber Of Commerce Pleased With
Appointment-Work to Be
Permanent

A great deal of satisfaction is be-
ing expressed by chamber Of COM
merce officials over the re-establish-
! ment in Newberry county Of the Office
of home demons ration. agent. The
value of this work among the schools
of the county and the housewives is
recognized. When Miss. Willie Mae
Wise resigned several years ago and
the Office was vacant Winthrop col
! lege was appealed to to fill the vacan-
cy as soon as possible. They indicat-
ed that a.. that time it was impossible
to comply with Newberrys request.
Early in this year local chamber Of
icials were assured by the head of
the extension work of Winthrop col
lege which directs home demonstra-
ton work throughout the state, that
they had been able to secure Miss
Marian S. Parish of Virginia. Miss
Parish assumed Office April 1.
Cooking clubs have been started
throughout the schools Of the county;
several women's clubs have been
started; canning clubs are planned for
the summer months when the fruits
ripen; and the housewives of the
county are being grouped into clubs
for the practical study of all kinds of
home economics and the arts.
Tr;.t Winthrop college is coopera.-
ing closely with Miss Parish in her
work in Newberry is indicated by the
several visits made, by supervisors.
Miss Lois V. Watkins, district super
visor, spent several days here in the
middle of last month and at the pres
ent time Miss Laura w Bailey, assis-
itant state agent in charge OF girls
clubs of Winthrop is spending three
days here. Miss Bailey assured local
chamber officials that the work IN this
county would be carried on without
interruption in the future.
| Chamber of commerce officials have
provided headquarters in the secre-
tary's office for Miss Parish. Some
time ago similar provision was made
for T. M. Mills, county farm agent. In
this way, the officials feel all the prac-
tical farm and farm4home develop
ment work will be linked up with the
general promotion work of the cham
Der.

BRINGS
HABEAS-CORPUS
JUDGE GARY SIGNS ORDER FOR
HEARING MONDAY
Petition Alleges Florence Man
Unlawfully Detained in State
Penitentiary.
The State, 4th.

The State, 4th.
Chief Justice Eugene B. Gary yes
terday signed ap order directing Col.
A. K. Sanders, superintendent of the
State penitentiary, to bring Edmund
D. Bigham before the supreme court
at 10 o'clock next Monday morning
under habeas corpus proceedings to
show cause why Bigham should not
be released from the prison.
Attorney A. L. King appeared be-
fore the court and presented petit
ton for the order, alleging that his
client, Edmund D. Bigham, is ille-
gally held at the penitentiary and IL
legally restrained from enjoying his
personal liberties.
The petition is based on the grounds
that the court at Florence was illegal
ly carried over beyond the term by
Judge Memminger and that the sem
tence of guilty" against Bigham was
rendered contrary to law. Attorney
King further presents that Bigham
has had no legal trial and should be
released from the penitentiary.
The petition alleges that the law
says the court at Florence shall be
held beginning the second Monday
and that court at Georgetown shall
open the third Monday in March.
Judge Memminger erred in continuing
the court from Saturday night until
the next Monday, it is claimed by the
attorneys for Bigham.
The argument will be- heard next
Monday morning at 10 o'clock. The
effect of the order by the chief JUS
tice is to give Bigham two chances
at new trial rather than the one.
he now has before the supreme court.
In, case the court holds that Judge
Memminger erred in continuing. the
lower court Bigham will automatically
get another trial. If the court finds
that Judge Memminger was within the
law in continuing the court Bigham
will, still have his appeal acted upon.
Another argument to be heard
Monday is the enjoining motion IN
the Carlos A. Corbett case. This mo-
ton permanently to enjoin the lower
court from any further action until
the appeal now before the supreme
court is acted upon is returnable to
the high court Monday under the or
der of Chief Justice Gary and will
come up at that time. The main ap-
peal in the case is to be argued this
week, probably Thursday.

HOOVER WOULD SEE
TRADE SAFEGUARDED
Secretary of Commerce Urges lmme-
date Action to Check German
Inroads.

Washington, May 3.-Immediate
congressional action to check the in
roads of German foreign trade in
the United States was urged by Sec
retary Hoover before the house ways
and means committee. A revived
German commerce, he said, was fast
driving certain American lines out Of
business.
The commerce department head de-
clared for a protective tariff "of
large order" and spoke favorably Of
the contemplated change in policy
with respect to the basis of assessing
import duties. The committee is con-
sidering the establishment of an AM
erican standard of valuation to sup
plant the present system of levying
tariff on the value of imports in the
land of production.
Such a plan, Mr.. Hoover said, ap-
peared to be the only solution to the
problem of meeting sales by Germany
and other foreign countries whose
currency is badly deprecated. While
declaring it to be unnecessary in nor
NAL times, he explained that the ext
gencies of present trade conditions
warranted action of the sort proposed
in the bills before the committee.
Germany continues the policy of
indirectly subsidizing her industries,
Mr.. Hoover said, adding that on the
basis of reports by federal agents the
subsidy amounted to around so per
cent of the production cost.

Washington, May 3.-1n the ab-
sence of formal notifications, officials
declined tonight to comment on the
decision of the allied supreme coun-
ell at London to invite the United
States a representative as a member
of the supreme council and also to
be represented on reparations COM
missions and the council of ambassa-
dors.
All questions as to what policy the
American government would pursue
in the matter of such representative
have invariably been met with the
statement that when such an invita-
tion was received it would be soon
enough for an answer.
The Harding administration has
mo-. hesitated to say that it Will be
interested in the economic ADJUST
ments growing out of the war but has
not indicated a desire to become po-
litically involved in the European set
Elements. Whether this would result
in the definite refusal of such an in
vitation as was decided upon today,
or the sending of representatives to
sit in at sessions of the council and
the commissions was not indicated TO-
night.
The United States has never had a
representative on the supreme coun-
Gil but Ambassador Wallace at Paris
was authorized to sit in at sessions OF
the council of ambassadors by the
Wilson administration and Roland w
Bovden, now in Paris at the head of
commission of experts was for time
a duly accredited member of the rep

cussions but whether it will consider
that such course would be furthered
