ENGLISH TECHNIQUE.

ENGLISH TECHNIQUE.
The English technique in photog-
! raphy and direction has not ad-
vanced beyond the nickelodeon era
in America. Some scenes of Airs
Button are in blue and brown, after
the manner of sun prints mad by
photographers in 1899. Others have
the quality of tintypes.
IF AMERICANS MADE III.
"Alf's Button" is a better comic
than the ordinary run of American
comedies. However, one wonders
what an American producer wosid
have evolved from the same story
idea. Chaplin would have made a
greater picture of it than The Kid"
and that picture is a far better
comedy than "Alf's Button" as the
English filmed it.
Buster Keaton or Harold Lloyd
also might well covet the idea. Their
version probably would have been
reduced TO three reels with all the
action of the seven-reel British
comic retained.
Therein lies the distinction be-
tween English and American wit.
The American comedian make you
laugh up~roariously and before you
have had time to rest your risibles
stirs you to mirth again. The Eng
lish comedian lays a trail to his joke,
like a long fuse to a powder can.
After that explosion of humor he
laboriOusly contrives another situa-
ton to provoke merriment.

FROGS DID NOT v
FALL FROM SKY
BUT THEY CAME

Gainesville. July 27-No frogs fell
from the sky here last Shursday night
and Friday morning and so far as To-
cal experts on "frogology' have been
able to ascertain, such a phenomenon
never has occurred anywhere else.
1t rained heavily here and the pres
ence of thousands of small frogs hop
ping about Friday morning after the
downpour resulted in the sending out
of news stories to the effect that it
had rained frogs.
The Smithsonian Institute, at Wash
ington, and other authorities, declare
that the presence of multitudes of
small frogs after heavy rains often
results in reports that frogs have fall
len from the clouds but that the idea
is all wrong.
The frogs were there before the
downpOur, hidden in cracks and crew
ices of the earth An unusually heavy
rain simply floods their hiding places
and they are forced to abandon them
and come out into the open or drown.

PARIS POLICEMAN
INJURED BY MOB
SEVEN MEN HURT IN EXPLO-
SION AT PROTEST MEETING.
TO DECLARE AGAINST AM
ERICAN GOVERNMENTS At
TlTUDE TOWARD ITALIANS.

Paris, Oct. 21.-Seven policemen
were injured tonight by the explo-
sion Of a bomb thrown into a crowd
in Wigram avenue during a meeting
held by the French Communist party
in protest against the conviction for
murder in Massachusetts of the
Italians, Sacco and Vanzetti. Several
Of the manifestants were also hurt
and six persons were arrested charg-
ed with disorderly conduct.
The meeting had been widely ad-
vertised as "a protest against the
capitalistic American government
and the execution of Sacco and Van
zetti." The speakers were bitter in
their vituperation of the American
government and expressed excration
of American capitalists.
Ten thousand persons flowed into
Wagram hall and when the capacity
of the hall was reached there was
large overflow Of bellicose demon
strators outside. 1t had been an
nounced as the intention of the
leaders of the demonstration that
the thr2ng would march to the Amef-
lean embassy. There was no attempt
to do this, however.
After the meeting an, unexploded
bomb was found under seat on the
Boulevard near Wagram avenue. 1t
was of the Mills type and similar to
the one sent to Ambassador Herrick
and the one throws among the po-
liceatonight.
Demonstrations for next Sunday
at he American cosulates e through
out the French provinces continue
to be planned BY, Communists as
form of protest against the convic-
ton of the Italians, Sacco and Van
zetti, in Massachusetts last summer.
It was openly announced today
that the Nantes Communists will
hold a manifestation before the
American consulate there. Similar
displays were announced for Lille
Bordeaux, Marseilles, St .Nazaire,
Lyons and at other places wherever
the American government is repre-
sented.

NEGRO KILLS TWO
IN HORRY COUNTY
WIFE AND MOTHER.lN-LAW DIE
IN HOME BLACKS JOIN THE
WHITES IN EFFORT TO AP.
PREHEND MAN WHO COMMIT
TED CRIME.

Conway, Oct. pa double muir
der was committed in the Burgess
section of Horny county early last
night. A negro, Josh Brown, shot and
killed his wife and his mother-in-law,
Liza Gore, after shooting twice at Mr.
Van Turbeville. He escaped before
the alarm was given and has not yet
yet been caught. Scores of men, white
and black, were today securing the
lower sections of Horny and George
town counties.
It seems that day before yesterday
John Brown had some disagreement
with Mr.. Turbeville on whose place,
Woodstock, he had a small crop this
year. Yesterday she was at work as
usual and Mr.. Turbeville was also at
work in the same field with him. He
left the field few minutes before Mr.
Turbeville late in the afternoon. Mr..
Turbeville thought nothing strange of
this. Later on Mr.. Turbeville start
ed home and having to open a gate
he got down from his wagon and as
he got down the negro shot him twice
in the shoulder, inficting a very
severe wound. His condition is seri-
Gus today.
After shooting Mr.. Turbeville who
managed to shoot twice with a rifle
which he had in the wagon, John
Brown went back to his home and
calling his wife to the door shot her
dead as she opened the door. A
small child in the yard ran to give
the alarm. In the meantime, it is
presumed that Liza Gore, whose
daughter was the wife of Brown,
closed the door but when neighbors
reached the scene they found the
door broken down and both Liza Gore
and her daughter dead. The authori-
ties were notified and are making a
diligent effort to apprehend Brown.

NEW POLICEMAN.

James Stevenson, a son of W. A.
Stevenson, was sworn in last week
to assist the old members of the po-
lice department in preserving order
through the winter months preceding
Christmas. He is not a Especial" but
a regular officer and the fact that he
will not for the present wear a uni
form means nothing "soft" for law
breakers. He is employed to serve
only through December 81 but if at
that time it is considered necessary
he will be kept on the force and fur
nished a uniform.

PACKERS UNION
VOTES TO STRIKE
OVERWHELMING MAJORITY IN
FAVOR OF WALKOUT-CON-
FERENCE OF EXECUTIVE Of
FIcERS OF ALLIED CRAFTS
CALLED.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Completion of
the strike vote in the packing indus
tidy taken by the Amalagamated
Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen
was announced here today by c. ].
Hays, president. He said the poll
stood 35,S54 yes and 3,490 no.
A conference of executive officers
and representatives of allied crafts
will be held here next week, Mr.;
Hays said. A strike of packing house
employees at the John Mofreel COM
pany plant at Ottumwa, Iowa, which
began this week, it was said,s ,swas the
most important strike in the indus
try since the war. He reports 1000
men out.
This was the second time within
Few months that the members Of
the butcher workers union have vot-
ed>to strike. Last summer plans for
q walkout VIRTUALLY were complete
when Secretary Of Labor Davis call
ed representatives of the packers
and Of the employees into a joint
conference at Washington, where
the differences were settled AMIGA
bly,, the packers agreeing to extend
the Alschuler war time agreement,
which Federal Judge Alschuler arbi-
trated packing industrial differences
another six months and the men ac-
cepting a wage cut. The extension of
this agreement recently expired. No
formal comment from representa-
tives of one of the "big fve"' con-
Germs. He said that the ballot was
not even representative of the en-
ployees in the industry and that the
total of 1884 votes announced by
Mr.. Hays was only small minority
of all the workers.

NO FOOD SUPPLY

Governor of Federal Reserve Board
Not Expecting Strike To
Develop.

Washington, Oct. CIV. P. G.
Harding, returning to Washington
today from New York, expressed the
belief that the threatened strike of
railroad employees will be avaided.
II have not been so greatly alarm
ed" said he, "as to lay in supply of
food. Of course, one can not tell. But
I believe the great majority of Am
erican citizens are men of common
sense and that as a result the threat
ened disaster will be averted. Busi-
ness conditions have the turn for the
better beyond all question. Actual
revival, however, awaits the action
of congress relative to the bill re-
funding the debt of the railroads
and legislation relating to the fiscal
policy of the administration"

M. B. CANN INJURED
BY NEGRO AssAILANT
Joe Fisher Resents Seizure of Corn
And Attempts to Prevent Its
Removal.

NJ. B. Cam was beaten over the
head and otherwise injured Saturday
when Joe Fisher. neyc, attacked him
after Mr.. Cam had shot at him three
times: The negro, Mr.. Cam says, was
advancing on him with double-bar-
relied shot gun after he had been or
dered out Of barn where corn was
being seized to satisfy papers held
by T. G. White. Mr.. Cam shot at
Fisher: three times, and, according to
Fishers wife, the negro was hit in
the hand and shoulder.
Mr.. Cam in speaking of the Incl
dent said that Fisher, who lives in the
Verdery section, was in town Satur-
day and that Mr.. White told him the
corn would be seized according to
law, and that he agreed to the proceed
ure. The negro then accompanied Mr..
Cam to Fishers home, taking along
three wagons. Fisher helped load one
of the wagons, but baked at the re-
moval of the balance of the pile. He
drew a "deadline" across the floor
and, picking up bolt, threatened to
brain the first man who touched an
other ear of corn. Mr.. Cam then
took out his pistol, he says, and ord
cred the negro out of the barn.
Fisher threw the bolt down, saying,
"just wait till I get back"
He went to his house nearby and
returned with double-barreled shot
gun. AS Mr.. Cam saw him coming
he told him that if he raised the
gun he would shoot him. Fisher con-
tinued to advance and Mr.. Cam open,
ed fire, three shots being fired. Fish,
er dropped the shot gun and clincheo
with Mr.. Cam, wreching the pistol
from his hand. The negro used the
pistol as a club to beat Mr.. Cam over
the head and body. There were sew
eral cuts on his head and hands, and
one rib was broken. The index finger
of his right hand was wrenched out
of joint when the pistol was torn out
of his hand. Mr.. Cam was not seri-

NEW PHASE COMES
IN STRIKE MIDDLE
CHICAGO MEETING OF RAIL
ROAD LABOR BOARD AD-
JOURNS WITHOUT PERFECT
ING ANY DEFINITE PLAN OF
ACTION.

Washington, Oct. PA new phase
of the railroad strike situation faced
the government today with the news
that the conference in Chicago be-
tween the railroad labor board and
the five brotherhood leaders had
been terminated without having re-
suited in any definite plan for avert
ing the nationwide tie-up scheduled
to start Oct. 80.
Pending receipt of official reports
as to what actually developed in the
conference, no one in authority would
comment on the result of the confer
ence. The optimistic atmosphere
which has pervaded discussion of the
situation was not entirely dissipated,
however, by the overnight setback
and the general expression was that
the situation was far from hope
less.
Speculation early today was direct
ed chiefly upon the question of wheth-
er the railroad labor board would be
called upon to make further effort to
ward a compromise, or whether Pres
ident Harding would initiate some
other plan, as yet unsuggested. :
The statement of Chairman Bar
ton of the labor board that the ad-
journment last night was "fnap' was
interpreted by some officials to have
indicated only the definite abandon
ment of whatever line of endeaYor
the board was then embarked upon
and not to withdrawal of that agen-
cy from the fight to prevent the oc-
currence of the strike. This view was
based somewhat it was said, on the
impression given earlier in the week
by administration officials that the
labor board would be given every op-
portunity to prove that it was not "a
futile agency"
Senate leaders agreed today to
proceed with pending railroad legis-
lation despite the strike situation,
but believed that no action would
come before October 80, the date set
for the nationwide walkout.
The senate interstate commerce
committee will meet tomorrow to con-
slider amendments to the carriers
$500, 100000 debt funding bill, with
view to having it ready for senate
discussion after disposal of the tax
and anti-beer measures. 1t is not
scheduled to get before the senate
however, until next month and weeks
Of debate are in prospect.
