ARMED CONVOY FOR
MOTOR SHIPMENTS
Insurance Brokers Adopt Plan
to Put an End to Wave
of RObberies.

Rising insurance rates on motor truck
shipments Of silks and other valuable
merchandise between New York and
Philadelphia. due to the numerous rob-
berries that have occurred lately, have
driven the shippers to use armed convoy
methods to protect their shipments.
Edmund Leigh. a former police de-
tective, now at thu head Of the National
Intelligence Service, has organized o
convoy scheme which several insurance
brokers are adopting for the protection
Of shipments insured with them. Hign
power cars, each carrying = man armed
with both rife and revolver. afo used TO
assemble the trucks which are to be
conveyed. A convoy master directs the
expedition and scouts alongside in fast
roadsters This form Of service was first
put into operation last Monday, conveys
leaving both here and in Philadelphia
In the evening and arriving at their des-
tination the next morning.
Leigh's scouts reported yesterday tina.
on Thursday night they met several sus-
picious touring cars which kept cutting
in on their conveys. consisting Of a
heavy shipment Of silks. The following
night an unguarded shipment OF $780,
900 worth of silks was held UP by motor
thieves who are supposed to have been
the same bandits that were cutting In
on the truck lines Thursday night but
were apparently scared away by the
sight of the armed scouts accompanying
the silk trucks.
1t is planned to extend the service to
protect all kinds Of insured shipments
between the two cities. motor freight
having to a large extent replaced rail
transportation for this class of goods.

JAPS TO RAFT LOGS ACROSS

VANCOUVER. B. c., July 2.-Another
attempt to raft timber from British
Columbia to Japan will be made shortly
by a Japanese firm, 1t was announced
here recently. The first raft. OF the
Davis type. with superstructure of
piled logs strongly laced, will leave here
in August, according to present plans.
Hitherto, RATED logs have not gener-
ally withstood long sea journeys, an
exception being taken from San Fran
cisco to China about twenty years ago.
Favored by calm seas. the raft was
safely landed, but the Chinese, unused
to big logs, took ten years to cut up the
boom. using long hand rip saws to make
the boards.

PHYSICIST TO TEST
EINSTEIN'S THEORY
Prof. Nicholson Will Seek to

Nicholson. physicist at the University
Of Chicago, left to-day for California.
Al Mount Wilson Observatory. where
astronomers are measuring the diam
eters OF stars through new apparatus
tecsrtiy invented BY Prof. Nicholson.
he will conduct two experiments OF
great Significance in the field OF physics.
His first experiment will be TO meas
ure the epeed Of light through the use
of new apparatus. which Is calculated
TO give q more accurate measurement
than ever has been made before. Prof.
Nicholson has measured the speed of
lirht twice before ana several other
scientists have done the same. but the
coming experiment is said to be likely
to give the true speed and may show
that the other results were In error.
The major experiment in which Prof.
Nicholson will be engaged Is one for
the Eastman research laboratories In
Rochester, ". T., and calculated to
prove or disprove Einstein's theory Of
relatively, According to Etnstein, the
earth IN Its rotation does not drag ths
ether with 1t, and Prof. Michelson's ex-
pertinent by measuring the relative
speed of rays Of light sent in different
directions over part of the earth =
surface will determine in a practical
way whether the famous foreign scien-
tist Is right In his assumption that there
is no relative movement of earth and
ether.
THE experiment is of prime irnpor'
lance" declared Prof. Nicholson to-day
because OF the Importance of the Elm

laws arc all right in velocities of less
than twenty miles a second, but wher
we get into the field where velocities are
In thousands of miles second only
Etnstsin's theories can explain the varia
tions satisfactorily. OF course. another
theory may come UP which may explain
them, but at present Einstein's is the
only one and 1t will be of great benefit
to science II it can be proved or dis
proved, so we may either regard its Jaws
as correct or incorrect and base our ex-
periments on those assumptions

Demand for Obedience Made by

Budapest-Former Emperor Charles
whose attempt to re-establish himself

NIT suicide by shooting after his ar
rest near Komorn. Former Empress
Zita was with him when he was pre-

Orders sent to the rebellious troops
supporting Charles by Admiral Hor-

doom of Charles attempt to regain at
least part of his former empire. The
regent reminded the soldiers OF their
oath of allegiance to him, and de-
manded their unconditional obedience,
adding that the success Of their un-
dertaking would mean the ruin OF
the country. The firm stand Of Admi-
raj Horthy had the effect and the
royalist forces scattered, seeming to

ENTHUSIAST MEETING HELD
AT THE JEFFERSON HOTEL
MANY AT BANQUET.
ADAMS RETAINS PRESIDENCY
Something Must be Done II tn, Show,

and Become What 1t Should be.
Columbia.


One Of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of poultry breeders ever held in
this city was staged at the Jefferson
hotel in connection with the banquet
of the South Carolina Poultry Breed
ers' association. The association laid
plans to secure state aid for the poul-
try show in connection with the state
fair and for the development Of a
poultry experiment station in South
Carolina.
B. E. Adams of Charleston was re-
elected president Of the assication,
and outlined plans for the further de-
velopment of the poultry business OF
South Carolina, which, he declared,
amounted to nearly $20,OO0,000 annu-
ally. Mr.. Adams said that many other
states in the union were rendering
financial aid to the poultry shows and
had spent large sums Of money for
the advancement of the industry. He
cited the fact that the poultry show
was one Of the most attractive fea-
lures of the state fair and represented
an industry which added to the food
production of the state, yet, he said,
it was cramped into building less
than half the size needed to properly
care for the exhibition. He declared
something must be done il the show
was to expand and develop into the
large show, which, he asserted, could,
and should be, held in connection with
the South Carolina state fair.

FORCE OF PUBLIC OPINION
President Sheppard, Conductors Or
der, Said There Was Little Chance
of Gaining Their obiectives.

Chicago-The rail strike scheduled
for October 80 was averted when lead
ers of the switchmen, trainmen, con-
ductors, engineers and firemen, at a
joint meeting, adopted resolution
withdrawing authorization of walk
out, and officials of the railroad teleg-
raphers' organization announced they
would take similar action. These were
the only unions which had authorized
strike.
The vote calling of the strike was
unanimously by organizations, w. 6.
Lee, president Of the brotherhood OF
railroad trainmen, announced. The
official wording Of the resolution
adopted was that "the strike be de.
clared not effective"
Unofficial reports were that the
firemens executives had strenuously
opposed adoption of the resolution.
None of the presidents would confirm
this, however.
The vote in the individual unions
was unusually close, however, the fire
men particularly holding lengthy ar
guments before agreeing to cancella'
tion of the strike order, the labor
chieftains said.
L. E. Sheppard, president OF the
Order Of Railway Conductors, said:
ut was evident that the entire Wash
ington administration was opposed to
us and that we have had little chance
of gaining our detectives.
