ty explained in announcing the dis
patch of the letters. There was nc
disposition on the part of the federal
government to evade responsibility
he added, but there was feeling
that the states should make every ef-
fort to enforce their laws which
might be a duplication of federal
statutes.
The letters were also accepted in
some quarters as step in connection
with the move recently announced of
investigating retail prices.
Mr.. Daugherty suggested to the
state attorneys general that they call
a conference of county prosecutors of
their respective states and if possible
bring about "a working arrangement
between them and the federal officials
charged with the same enforcement

SPEND MUCH FOR
MOTION PICTURES

Washington, Dec. 27.-The Ameri-
can people spend from $3.50, ,OOO, 900 to
$1,0O0,000,00O year to see motion
picture shows, the senate finance
committee was told today in the
course of arguments for and against
high tariff on foreign made pictures.
The investment in the industry totals
about $250,OO0,O0O and employed is
given to about 25O,0OO persons.
Paul M. Turner of New York,
speaking for the Actors Equity asso-
citation, testified the idea that every
body connected with the industry
made "big money" was erroneous;
that SO per cent of those engaged in
making films received only "a living
wage"
Mr.. Turner and John Emerson, an
independent producer of New York,
speaking for himself and for D. w.
Griffith, urged duty on imported
films of from so to 60 per cent ad
valorem in place of the 80 per cent in
the Fordney bill. They said the in
dustry was in bad shape with many
studios and a large number of the
$4,000 motion picture theaters over
the country closed. Declaring that
only high tariff stood between the
industry and determination Mr.. Turn
er said that at this time 81 Ger
man made pictures were being ex-
hibited in this country and that four
or five Of these had yielded the ex-
hibitors $2,500,00O. American pro-
ducers can not compete with the Ger
mans, he said,- adding that pictures
which cost from 100000 to $500, 900
to produce in this country could be
made in Germany for from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Saul E. Rogers of New York, speak
ing for the National Association of
Motion Industry, opposed the duty in
the Fordney bill urging that the
present rate of cents foot be re-
tanned. He declared that only a few
foreign films and those depicting
great spectacles had been successful
in this country. =.

SHOOTING SeRAPE
AT ALLENDALE

Allcndale, Dec. 27.-Earl Framp.
ton, prominent farmer and a pcpu-
lar young man of this section, was
shot and probably fatally wounded
about two miles from here this after
noon by his cousin, Lewis Davis. Da-
Wis Immediately after the shooting
took about 10 grains of poison and
lies in a desperate condition at a ho-
tel here tonight with doctor in at
tendance. There is a possibility of
his recovery doctors said tonight, as
the period of greatest danger has
passed. His recovery is considered re-
markab.e as the dose taken was un-
usually large.
Frampton, the wounded man, was
taken to sanitarium in Charleston
this afternoon. The general opinion
was that the wound would prove fatal,
he being shot through the abdomen,
the ball entering near the left side
in the rear of the body and coming
out in the front on the right side.
The weapon used was 38 automatic.
The details of the motive of the
crime are very scant. 1t appears that
Frampton, who is a first cousin of
Davis, lived in the home of Davis to-
gether with his father and two sis
ters. Davis only statement after the
shooting was that it was due to fam.
ily troubles. Members of the family
of the wounded man were SO excited
that no coherent statement could be
gained at the home where the shoot.
ing occurrd. 1t was some time after
the shooting before the news reached
Allendale although the place where it
occurred is only two miles from here.
A resident of Allendale happened to
pass the home after the shooting oc-
Cured and coming on into Allendale
reported the news to Sheriff Bennett,
who Immediately went to the scene
of the crime together with several
deputies and doctor.
Immediate attention was given to
Frampton and he was taken TO Char.
lesion by Allendale physicians this af-
ternoon on the Charleston & Western
Carolina train.
Davis, who did the shooting, was
found upstairs in his home with an
empty bottle that contained poison
by his side. He stated that he had
taken the entire bottle and requested
to be allowed ITO lstayS.in the room a
few minutes as he believed he would
be dead at the end of that time. He
was taken in charge by Sheriff Ben
nett, however, and brought to Allen
dale. He was having convulsions when
he reached here but after attention by
physician he appeared to have
slightly recovered and is resting fairly
we'll tonight.
At the request of physicians he is
being allowed to remain here to-
night instead of being removed to the
Bamwell Jail where the Allendale
county prisoners are being kept. He
will be removed there early tomor-
row if his conditions warrants the re-
moval.
No news from Frampton has been
heard since his removal to Charles
ton this afternoon. The father of
Frampton made a statement after the
shooting that Davis had made odd
threats and appeared in other ways to
be mentally unbalanced during the
past six months, but that he knew of
no direct motive for the alleged
crime. Both of the parties in the diff,
ficulty are prominent in this section
and Davis is reported to be very
wealthy having just completed large
and expensive home.
