FOREIGN AFFAIRS ARE
ENGAGING THE CABINET

Washington, March ga gen.
eral survey of foreign relations oc-
cupied the attention of President
Harding and his cabinet today dur
ing most of the two-hour session.
Secretary Hughes presented a
long summary of the general for
eign situation and there was a gen.
eral round table discussion of var
ious affairs. It is understood that
the general European situation was
touched on only as a part of the gen.
eral picture and that no specific
questions involving the league Of
nations or other European connec-
tions were decided.
This was the first comprehensive
session to be held by the new cabi-
net regarding the nations foreign
policy. Secretary Hughes reported
all the details he had gathered since
March in regard to foreign ques-
tions, but it was understood that no
Recommendations in regard to
changes of policy accompanied the
report.
Such questions as the restoration
of relations with other nations af-
ter the disturbances Of war, the
situation presented by the creation
of new nations in the war settle
ment and the Panama relations oc-
cupied much time.
There was some talk regarding
the legislative program for the spec
ial session, but, it was said, a def
mite solution still was to be reached.
Afterwards it was indicated, how
ever, the administration and leaders
of the senate and house before con-
gress got down to work.

CLAIMS FIGURES
+ MUCH TOO LARGE

Washington, March 22.-Ginning
statistics for the season of 1920-21
announced today by the census bu-
reau, tending to prove that the cur
rent crop is the sixth largest in the
history of the country, is grossly
inaccurate, according to Senator ].
Thomas Hefin of Alabama and other
congressional experts who have
steadfastly contended that all gov
ernment reports have been "unduly
inflated"
The report Of the census today"
said Senator Hefin, "proves conclu-
sively that there is immediate need
for the investigation which, under a
resolution of Senator E. D. Smith,
cf South Carolina. the senate will
shortly undertake. AS result of
that investigation, it will be shown
.ust how much cotton remains in the
country, and am positive that it
will be disclosed that the census fig
ures are almost 100000 bales in ex-
cess of that which was actually pro-
duced.
"Government figures, since the
present crop was planted, have in
variably impressed the world that
there was to be surplus supply.
This impression has demoralized the
market and cost the South many mil
lions of dollars"
Senator'S Heflin and Smith assailed
the estimate of the department of
agriculture last December as to
great. The census figures indicate
that the departments estimate was
nearly 100000 bales short. The SEN
atorial investigation will be in
itiated as soon as Senator Smith re-
turns to Washington.

ANOTHER STILL

Another still was destroyed IN the
county yesterday. This time the
still was on the eastern side of the
county. It was located on the plan
tation of the late Ben Richey. The
find was made by Prohibition Off
Ger E. V. Martin, Deputy Sheriff
Cam and Constable Sam Milford, of
Donalds.
The still was copper affair of
thirty gallon capacity. 1t was To-
Gated not far from the Richey resi-
dence. In the smokehouse of the
Richey residence was found table
covered with malt. It is under
stood that one of the Richey young
men is to be charged with operating
the still. He is in Abbeville today

es made the race against the incum-
bent W. M. Langley. Mr.. Hughes re-
ceived 7 votes in the city box, So

FORDNEY BILL TO
BE PUT THROUGH

Washington, March 22-With the
decision by Republican leaders to put
thru the Fordney emergency Tariff
bill precisely as voted by President
Wilson Immediately upon the con-
vening of congress, the major legis-
lative program for the extra session
was believed today to be definitely
settled.
Reversing their previous position
against the enactment of an emergen-
cy tariff, members of the house ways
and means committee yesterday ac-
ceded to the request of President
Harding for passage at once of a
measure designed to afford protec-
ton to the farmers against foreign
competition. Agreement to the pro-
gram also was given by Senators Pen
rose, Smoot and McCumber, conferees
from the senate finance committee,
Senator Penrose stating that there
would be limitation of debate if nec-
essary to insure speedy passage Of
the bill thru the Senate it probably
will be rushed thru the House under
a special rule.
With the emergency measure out of
the way the house, according to the
final program agreed on, then will
take up the anti-dumping bill to be
followed by permanent tariff revis-
ion. The actual work of framing the
tariff bill will be begun by the ways
and means committee at once. 1t is
planned to speed up the program by
having the senate finance committee
consider revenue legislation while the
house is at work on the tariff.

MRS. WEINRAUB ARRESTED
CHARGED WITH BURNING
Preliminary Examination to be Held
Today-Defendant in Jail.-The
Storehouse of Defendant
Belonging to Mr. George
Burned Recently

Mrs. Sarah Weinraub was arrested
yesterday on warrant charging her
with statutory arson. The warrant
was sworn out by N. D. Sanders, Of
Calhoun Falls, before Magistrate R..
S. McComb. 1t charges that on Feb
ruary 28th. Mrs. Weinraub malici-
ously and wilfully set fire to a store
house in the town of Calhoun Falls,
occupied by her, but belonging to j.
]. George, with the intent to burn it..
Mrs. Weinraub is stated to have had
4 large stock of goods in the store,
which goods were insured, and the in
ference is that she is accused of set
ting fire to the store for her own BEN
Eft. The warrant further charges that
the setting fire to the store endanger-
ed the place of residence and sleep
ing quarters of the family of Mr..
Sanders. His family occupied the up
stairs of an adjoining storehuose.
Mrs. Weinraub was brought to the
al yesterday and has been in charge
Of the sheriff since that time. A pre-
liminry is being held today. Mrs.
Neinraub vigorously denies that she
set fire to the storehouse. She charges,
it is stated to US, that the fire was of
incendiary origin, but she denies all
responsibility for the offense.
One of the witnesses against Mrs.
Weinraub will be Mrs. Albert Nc
Lane, who was sales-woman in her
store. Mrs. Weinraub recently swore
out a search warrant against Mr., and
Mrs. McLane, charging that they had
concealed in their house a large a.
mount of goods which had been taken
from her store. The McLanes will
ingly submitted to their house being
searched. Mrs. Weinraub after the
search made claim to only one. or
two small articles found in the house,
and these the McLanes claim to have
bought and paid for. Although Mrs.
Weinraub claimed the articles, she
has sworn out no warrant for the ar
rest of these parties.
Out of this charge other litigation
will likely arise. The McLanes have
employed counsel and will institute
an action against Mrs. Weinraub for
malicious prosecution for issuing out
the search warrant. They expect also
to file an action for SANDER against
her.
It is understood that the testimony
in the arson case is largely circum-
stantial. A large number of witnesses
have been summoned to Abbeville to-
day and it is likely that the prelimi-
nary examination may not be finish
ed before tomorrow.

CONGRESS HEARS
FORMAL SUMMONS
EXTRA SESSION CALLED FOR
EARLY IN APRIL-ALTHOUGH
NO SUBJECTS ARE MENTION
ED INTENTIONS OF REPUBLI-
CANS ARE WELL KNOWN
TARIFF AND TAXATION

Washington, March pa formal
call for an extra session of congress
to meet on April II and receive legis-
lative recommendation from the new
administration was issued today by
President Harding.
None of the specific problems to be
laid before the legislative branch
was named in the proclamation, the
president merely declaring that an
extraordinary occasion required that
congress convene "to receive such
communications as may be made by
the executive" ..
Mr.. Harding already has indicated,
however, that the tariff and taxa
lion will be foremost in his message
TO the special session. He is expected
to make a special plea for prompt
relief to the nations agricultural in
terests and the list Of recommenda-
tions may touch many other sub
jects such as the railway situation,
the merchant marine, and immigra-
ton.
One recommendation relative to re-
construction measures within the
government machine itself is ex-
pected to suggest the creation Of a
many kinds Of property acquired by
government agencies during the war.
Whether the message will touch on
foreign relations is matter Of spec
ulation, but the president has indi-
Gated that his primary desire for the
session is that it work out a plan
of governmental and industrial re-
habilitation at home.
A program for the session has been
discussed at series Of conferences
between the president and leaders IN
senate and house and although def
mite decisions still are to be made
feeling of confidence is manifest
that there will be working agreement
that will expedite legislative business
from the start.
Some of the presidents friends be-
.ieve that he will follow the custom
# President Wilson in delivering his
Message to congress in person. II
as said tonight at the White House,
however, that no decision on that de-
tail had been reached.

a representative Of the Negro race.
Following is the complete text OF
the resolutions which were unanimous
ly adopted:
Whereas the several musical COM
panies representing the Redpath Ly-
ceum bureau of Denver, appearing in
Phoenix this winter have included in
their repertoire a grotesque mimiery
of Negro religious worship: and
Whereas, such performances only
provoke a sense of the ridiculous for
the auditors and have tendency to
arouse a deleterious spirit of con-
tempt among on-Christians of the
black race; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Salt River Val
ley Ministers Association record its
hearty disapproval OF the continuance
of such public caricatures of the most
sacred ideals of our Colored citizens;
and be 1t further
Resolved, That we assure the 1,075
Colored people of Phoenix that we
highly esteem the efforts they are
making for the religious uplift of
their own race, and pledge them our
cooperation; and be it further
Resolved, That a copy of these
resolutions be sent to the Redpath
Lyceum Bureau, and to the local H-Y
lecture course committee; that they
also be printed in our daily papers,
and in the California Christian Advo-
