TRAPPED ON BRIDGE

4locher and Herman Reisenweaver,
h IL years old, miraculously es-
8ed death today when they laid
IN between the rails, cuddling so
be that the train on the third rail

yes. The train was upon them SO
Il denly and the end of the bridge
far away that to attempt escape
running would have meant sudden

uld have been equally pcrilous.
Engineer John Comfort saw them

kpped the window of his car shout
and signalcd to the boys to lie down

aHollocher and Reisenweaver caught
signals. They dropped between
rails, cuddled as close as they
lid to the ties, turning their heads
eways, shut their eyes and prayed.

8in flashed over the boys and ston-
it as quickly as he could. Back

at the edge of the creek, got his

PURPOSE Of VISIT
To UNITED STATES

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Rene
Niviani, former premier of France, in
a statement today to the Associated
Press, said the purpose of his visit
to the United Statess was to sound
public opinion in America and in
form the American people of condi-
tions in France.
The French envoy expressed graft
hcatlon at the sentiment favorable
to France he had observed in con-
ferences with leading public officials
abou the legal and political dis
cussions which involved the treaty
of peace"
The statement of the former
French premier was the first he has
made since his arrival in the United
states in which the purposes of his
mission was set forth. In connec-
V1Vlani said he had authorized no one
TO state conclusions he had drawn,
presumably having reference to dis
patches published abroad purporting
to outline his views.
- The French envoy expressed graft
flcatlon that sentiment favorable to
france which he had observed in
Gals about the leading and political
discussions which involved the treaty
of peace"
NJ. Vivlaai's statement was care
fully prepared in French and the fol-
lowing is translation of it:
m. Viviani, who since his arrival
in Washington has peen received by
numerous notables, has been greatly
touched by the cordially which all
have shown to him, cordiality
which was extended through him to
France of which he is the represent
tative. He has heard much and has
responded as best he could in view
of his mission, which is to inform
the American people of the condition
of France and to inform himself con-
corning American opinion.
He has observed with deep feel
ing in the course of the legal and po-
litical discussions which involved
the treaty of peace, a unanimous
sentiment favorable to France, for
which, in recognition of her past
valiant and present difficulty, all
America has preserved its affection.
In the course of these different
discussions and for the sole purpose
of conversation, M. Viviani has been
obliged to envisage every hypothesis,
even those which his opinion oppos-
es, to the end of weighing with his
conferees the elements of good and
evil in them all. 1t should be clear-
ny understood that the Only opinion
which could be expressed Of these is
that which he gives expression to
himself and it is equally certain that
no one would think of attributing to
him conclusions as result of these
discussions which though drawn are
not his own.
THE impression which M. Viviani
has brought away from these con-
ferences and which has been no sur
prise to him, is the disinterested
and pure friendship of America and
M. Viviani will never be able to ade-
quately to express with what appre-
citation France regards the noble
country which is now his host"

DR.. Gus Williams
Says Brother Killed
Negro in Self Defense
by HUBERT E. BAUGRN

[Staff Correspondent of The Journal. }
CONVICTION, Ga, April DIR
Gus Williams, well-known Henry
county physician, world war veteran
and eldest son of the wealthy death
farm" owner, who is on trial here
for murder, admitted in a statement
Tuesday night that his brother, HUI
land Williams, killed a negro last
year on the Williams plantation in
Jasper county.
He declared his brother acted in
self-defense and shot the negro after
He said the body was inferred in a
cemetery, and expressed the belief
that a report Of the negros death
was made to the authorities.
DR.. Williams again characterized as
"a lie" the report that a stockade was
maintained on his fathers farm for
the confinement at night of negroes
said to have been held in peonage.
"The stories that the farm hands
were mistreated are also untrue" he
said. IF negroes from the place
showed scars and bruises to this
grand jury, they showed scars re-
ceived before they came to work
for my father"
The young doctor, who has been
constantly with his mother since Will
liams' arrest, predicted the jury
would acquit his father.
my father bailed out a number
of negroes in Macon and Atlanta and
took them to the farm, but he did
not mistreat them, he did not hold
them in peonage, but paid them fair
wages and kept them we'll supplied
with food and clothing" DR.. Will
liams asserted.
He said many negroes who quit
working for his father at various
times generally returned and asked
to be taken back. He said a former
employe called at the farm Monday
and applied for his old job.

HEAVY REDUCTION
IN COTTON ACREAGE
SHOWN BY REPORT

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Reduc-
ton of acreage and difficulty of
farmers in some sections in financ-
ing this years cotton crop are de-
scribed in reports to the bureau of
crop estimates made public today.
Arkansas reported IAN effort" be-
ing made to reduce acreage and dry
weather was said to have checked
planting in Florida
A cut in acreage from % to 50
per cent was said to be planned in
some localities in Georgia. Much of
the crop of last year still remains in
the hands of the growers, and boil
weevil was reported on the ground
in many localities. Louisiana plant
ing was declared to have been inter-
fered with by heavy rains while Mis-
souri, reported reduction in acreage.
Recent reduction in prices of fer
tilizers may lessen the prospective
decreas Sc in acreage, said a report
from North Carolina, while Arizona
said acreage reduction was fully one
half, with the bulk of last years crop
still in the hands of the farmers, who
were said to be finding it difficult to
finance this years operations.
A reduction of One-half acreage
was indicated in California, and New
Mexico sent similar information.

FARMERS CARRYING
OUT THREAT TOCUT
THEIR PRODUCTION

WASHINGTON, April 6.-Farmers
throughout the entire United States
are putting into execution their
threat to reduce food and stock pro-
duction because of low prices paid
for their products.
Convinced that the farmers are
curtailing production in spring
planting, government officials now
are trying to learn the extent of the
strike. Upon this may depend food
prices next winter.
Detailed reports on the acreage
planted to wheat. corn, potatoes and
other staples now are being collect
ed by the crop estimate bureau OF
the department Of agriculture. An
made in the regular manner as the
figures come in. A report on the
condition of spring wheat will be
made public by the department to-
morrow.
Leading cotton planters who
months ago began urging decreased
production have been partially sue
cessful, according to information re.
ceived by the bureau of markets OF
the agriculture department. South
ern bankers who conferred here with
the war finance corporation stated
openly that cotton planters would be
throwing away their money and Ia

year. A normal crop ranges from
100000 to 100000 bales. Cot
ton now is selling at the lowest price
in months. Other farm products are
off nearly 100 per cent. Some are
being forced on the market at below
prices which prevailed before the
war. Farmers all over the country
have been operating for months on
a very scanty margin, according to
Secretary Wallace. Many, Wallace
said, have even lost money.
One indication that food produc-
ton will be curtailed this year is
seen in the. fact that fertilizer pur-
chases so far this spring have run
cording to Secretary Lyman, of the
national board of farm organizations.
Most of the farmers are planning
to reduce the acreage of the big sta
pies and plant a large variety" said
Mr.. Lyman. This will enable them
to be more self-sustaining
There also are signs that stock
breeding is being reduced. Some
raisers are selling animals younger
than would be profitable unless they
intended to reduce the size of their
herds.
with the exception of fertilizer.
farmers still are paying almost as
much for supplies and machinery as
during the war. It is true that a,
slight reduction has been announced
in the price of machinery. But it is
less than 10 per cent and leaves the
price about the same as two years
ago.
