ERSKINE AND CLEMSON .
MAY PLAY GAME HERE
Effort Being Made To Arrange
Baseball Game Here Next
Spring.

According to letter received yes
terday at the Chamber of Commerce
from Robert F. Plaxco, baseball
manager at Erskine, move is under
way to have Erskine and Clemson
play a game here next spring. Mr..
Plaxco says that the Erskine authori-
ties have been consulted and that
they favor the plan. 1t only remains
to get Clemson's agreement, which
it is thought, can readily be secured.
This game, due to the large fol-
lowing both colleges have in this
county, would be a big drawing
card for Abbeville, and visitors
would no doubt come from adjoin-
ing counties for the game. Every eff
fort will be made, Secretary Barnes
says, to have the game played here.

POLICEMEN FIGHT
ON RIVER front

New Orleans, Nov. 28.-Two hun
dred and fifty policemen battled for
an hour late today with union SYM
pathizers of the striking river front
workers. The battle extended over a
space of five blocks in the vicinity
of the foot of Canal street. Numer-
GUS arrests were made and number
Of injured were sent to hospitals.
The clash was the first serious dis
turbance that has marked the strike,
in which 10000 men are out. Riot
ing started when non-unoin workers
began to leave teir jobs for the day.
Iron bars, bricks, clubs and fists
were used freely by both sides.
Police reserves from every station
in the city and from across the river,
many of them armed with shot guns,
were called to the scene. Police Su-
perintendent Malony led his forces
in person, while officers and patrol
men alike plunged into the struggle,
plying clubs literally. No shots were
fired. .... .
According to an official estimate
at least 20 ment were seriously
beaten. Two bystanders were among
those badly hurt. None Of the injur-
ed cases reported will prove fatal,
hospital authorities say.
The number of arrests still was
being tabulated tonight. Many men
were sent to outlying precinct sta
tions while scores of others were
whirled from the police by their
friends.
Thousands witnessed the. battle.

Washington conference, in . discuss,
ing the possibility that Germany
might later be a participant, said
tonight that che could not see what
questions on our agenda concerns
that country. have heard nothing
more than rumors about this" he
said, ".and the subject has not been
brought to my attention in any way
officially. i do not see what question
on our agenda concerns Germany
She has no specific, interests. Her
naval and her land ornaments are
6xed ;by the treaty of Versailles
This conference would not consider
the revision of that treaty. The
question of reparations, if a confer
ence Of world powers should desire
tostake it up, would mean, according
to my personal view, that they would
be prepared to take upon themselves
the responsibility Of the reparations
which Germany has promised to pay
over her signature. France has been
in direct negotiation with Germany
on this subject recently. M. Loucheur
of the French ministry has been in
prolonged negotiation with Herr
Rathenau, representing the German
government. The agreement reached
for payments in goods has been re-
ferred to the allied reparations COM
mission for approval. That is the
present situation of the reparation
questions
Z Speaking of his having engaged
passage to leave for home December
IA, M. Viviani remarked: s'I would
like very much to leave on that date
because I have urgent engagements
in Paris. I am neither minister, an
ambassador nor a functionary of
state, but I am at the disposal of my
government if it should seem neces-
sary for me to remain longer than
middle of December. I see no rea-
son why the conference should not
have completed its work. Of course
there might remain over details for
experts to arrange. These would not
require my presence" 49,.

KAT0 PRESENTS
TOKYO CLAIM

Washington, Nov. 29.-Eo safe,
guard properly the interests of the
japanese empire, the ratio of 70 pei
cent in tonnage of capital ships is
necessary. Vice Admiral Kanji Kato
president of the japanese naval col.
lege and chief naval adviser to the
japanese delegation to the Washing.
ton conference, said to the Associat-
ed Press tonight in an interview.
Vice Admiral Kato, who is regard.
ed as the leading japanese authority
on naval strategy, declared that the
main issue for the conference on
limitation of armament was the: re-
duction of armament burdens.
"Japan accepts this issue whole,
heartedly," he continued, "and is
quite prepared to scrap capital ships
under construction and old battleships
The naval ratio is of grave concern
to the security of the nations. hope
the United States will accept the 20
per cent. for Japan, which is the
minimum of strength required for he1
security"
The vice admiral remarked that the
agreement to limit armament must be
accomplished by a thorough under
standing of all those participating.
"The main issue in the limitation
of armament, as I have stated,
believe, is to relieve the burdens OF
the nations. Japan has shown hel
hearty accord to the idea and has a.
greed to the wholesale scrapping OF
capital ships under construction as
we'll as old ships. This practically
means that the great purpose Of the
conference has been attained, be-
cause it indicates that in the future

Miss Clarke, who occupied the

COMING OF FOCH

NOW IS CERTAIN
WILL PASS THROUGH ABBE-
VILE, IN AFTERNOON OF DEC.
EMBER s-cOMMITTEE WILL
MAKE EFFORT TO HAVE MAR.
SHAL STOP HERE.

News carried yesterday by the AS
sociated Press confirmed the report
that Marshal Ferdinand Foch will
make his principal stop in South
Carolina at Greenwood, arriving
there on a Seaboard train at 4:25
o'clock, Friday, December 9. To
reach Greenwood he will pass
through AbbeyilIe about .3:45 or 4
o'clock and effort is being made to
have the marshal make a short st Up
in Abbeville.
It is pointed out that Albbeville,
as the home of John de La Howe,
and the namesake Of Abbeville,
France. is county and a town ad-
nirably equipped to do this great
representative Of France honor. And
because Of the connection this coun-
ty has had with France it is felt
that the marshal can not refuse to
honor the hundreds of his admirers
who live in this community.
Accordingly a committee eompos-
ed of the mayor, members of the
Chamber Of Commerce and ex-ser-
vic men, headed by J. D. Fulp, has
been appointed to "endeavor to
have Marshal Foch and his party
stop in this city on his way from At

New York, Nov. 28.-Jinx, the
stubborn one-eyed mule the West
Point cadets borrowed from the Fort
Bloom remount station for foot
ball mascot, has been fired-kicked
out. ,.. ~ g..
Braying his dissatisfaction, Jinx
started on his homeward journey
without wisp of hay or single oat.
He blinked his good right eye and
made a move to project his rear
hoofs in the general direction OF two
cadet muleteers, but they anticipat-
ed him. -.
If Jinx (he was named after the
game) had won Saturdays game,
he would have been paraded through
the ball room of swell hotel and
put up for the night ; in commo-
dious, hay-flled, oat-lined stall on
the roof. .....
The port eye Of the mule is sight
less, and the navy's touchdown fol-

ERNMENT LAST .YEAR-MORE
THAN oNE-FoURTH AMOUNT
COLLECTED WHEN PRoHIBI.
TON WAS NOT EFFECTIVE

Washington, Nov. 28.-With ma.
tional prohibition in effect, it NIGH
naturally he assumed that the reve
nue. of the government from alco
holic liquors would be very small.
Under the law, the only permis
sible manufacture or, sale Of intoxi
eating liquors for medicinal, sacrifi
,cial, and manufacturing purposes
all within strict limitation and regu
lation. = :. = ~ -
Nevertheless, during the last fisca
year, ending June 80, 1921, interna
revenue was collected by the govern
ment. on intoxicating liquors to thu
extent of over $S2,0OO,OOo. This il
more than fourth Of the interna
revenue collected from Intoxicating
liquors in the fiscal year, 1917, wher
prohibition was not in effect.
The comparison shows that th'
United States is consuming legally
or certainly under legal forms, 8
much larger amount Of alcoholic
liquor than would be assumed by tht
average citizen. Bootleg liquor traf
fic. of course. is unlawful and es
:capes all taxation.
Inquiry today brought forth the
additional fact that Uncle Sam col
.lected 81, 100000 during the calen
.dar year of 1920 in customs dutie:
on imported alcoholic beverages
The revenue from that source, how
ever, had fallen in much create,
proportion than the internal reve
nue. on liquors. Before national pro
hibition went into effect the customs
duties collected in year on import
ed alcoholic beverages ran from
$13,0OO,OO0 to s19,O00,OO0. II
would appear from this that we are
making in our own country a large
proportion Of the liquors which are
non contraband now than were be-
fore We adopted national prohibition
But the surprising fact is the ex
tent of the legal liquor revenue un'
der the prohibition amendment and
Volstead extensions.
