CUT KINKS IN SYSTEM
 OF APPROPRIATIONS AS
 AID TO BUDGET PLANS
By Associated Press

Washington, october 7.---Reorgan- ization of the House appropriations committee with elimination of legis- lative kinks in the system of fram- ing big supply bills was announced today by Chairman Madden.
 The principal change. made neces- sary by the desire to work in close harmony with Director Dawes. of the budget bureau. is a regrouping of times in each appropriation measure so that all expenditures. whether for the support of the dip lomatic service or enforcement of prohibition, will be put into one bill. Heretofore many items relating 10 one department have been scattered through a number of bills, which made 1t difficult for senators and rep resentatives to know how much certain department of the govern ment might cost.
 The old practice of preparing ap- priatIons bills is wiped out to make way for grouping of appropria- tions, according to the vari- ous units of government organization. There will be 12 big bills. instead of 13. The subcommittee will continue. each to deal with the 12 separate bills,

A. A. Fendley, president of the Blounty County bank. acted as chairman of the meeting. and F. C. Cheney. president of the Che ney Lime company. was elected secretary. Statements were made by F. c. Cheney, J. c. Nation and A. L. Baius relative to the char acter of Curtis Tidmore and Chalmers Huffstutler. and the conditions under which these men were attacked and Tidmore was killed
 Both of High Character
 The meeting adopted lengthy resolutions in which 1t was set out that both Huffstutler and Tidmore were farmers of small means but of high character and integrity, and that they had never been known or suspected of be- ing in any way engaged in or connected with the whisky busi- ness.
 The resolutions set out that the meeting was heartily in favor of strict enforcement of the law. both state and federal. but con- icmned what was declared the oh hhU law-abiding men, more especially when, ns it appeared in this case, the homicide was committed in the name of the law and under color of office"
 The second paragraph of the resolutions stated; "Our knowl- edge of the lives and conduct of Curtis Tidmore and Chalmers HuffstutIer and their high re- cpect for law and order, md their sober and upright manner of liv- ing, make 1t almost impossible for us to believe that these men would under any circumstances resist an officer of the law, and this conviction Is made the stronger by the established fact thnt they were altogether en- gagged in au honest and Legitimate business at the time they were assaulted and the one was slain"
 The resolutions severely criti- cised k. W. Eubanks, T. c. Dew and w. NJ. Dew for their action in the matter, and also N. l.. Pierce, who, the resolutions stat ed. appeared to approve and con done the killing of Curtis Tid- more. It indorsed the action Of

.PE.NNSY LINES TO REDUCE ORE RATES Will Apply for 28 Per Cent Cut In Tariff to Steel
 Centers
By Associated Press

Philadelphia, October 1.-The Penn syIvania railroad announced today it would lin the very near future' make application to the interstate commerce commission for permission to place in effect temporary re- duction of 2S per cent in the freight rates on iron ore from both the great lakes and the ssaboard. to the fur naces in the Pittsburg and Youngs- town districts, the Schuylkill Valley and elsewhere in Ohio, Pennsylvania. and the east, as we'll as local mines. The reduction would remain in eff feet only until December 31. 1921.
 The purpose of the reduction" the announcement said. "is to assist the iron and steel producers in accumu- lating supply of ore before winter closes navigation on the Great Lakes. or compels the shut down of the northern mines; also to try out experimentally whether materially lower level of rates by cheapening the production of pig iron. will stim- ulate the iron and steel market.
 "The 2S per cent reduction being applied to the level of rates now In effect will substantially wipe out the 30 per cent increase made effective August ak l2ses"

Chicago. October 7.--If 8 rail- road strike is called it will not be one that will tie up the entire transportation system of the coun- try, L. D. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors, announced tonight.
 "lf we find it necessary to break with the railroads, our aim will be to inconvenience the public as little as possible" said Mir. Shep- pard. "No one. l am sure. Is con sidering a general walkout. | have privately given President Harding this assurance.
 ITO be effective, strike would have to be something more than q mere declaration,' Sheppard said. "Hardships undoubtedly would re- suit and there would be suffering. But transportation would not be tied up everywhere and the large cities would not suffer greatly"

By Associated Press

Conyers, Ga, october 7.--Active search was begun late today for Joshua Presley, IS years old, In con nection with the murder of Charles E. Reagin. banker and plantation owner, who disappeared last night and whose body was found today in Yellow river, near here. Presley who formerly worked for the banker, had since been arrested on a charge of stealing from him.
 warrant charging Presley with murder was sworn out late to- night, and officials said they had discovered that Mir. Reagin had once obtained a permit to carry pistol for possible protection against Presley.
 Six negroes, employees on Reagin's farm or living nearby were taken into custody today while the coro- ner's inquest was in secret session, but after that body adjourned until Monday without verdict, 1t was indicated by officials that nothing had yet developed to fasten the crime upon any of those under arrest.
 Find Auto Near River
 MT. Reagin's automobile in which he had just left his plantation after a ride from his bank was found last night on Yellow river bridge and after a fruitless all night search fisherman at daybreak today found the body tangled in his trot lines few hundred yards below the bridge. The skull was fractured from blow on the back of the head, and there was a long slash across the front or the coat and vest, as though from -ha L nj The dead when thrown into the water, physician said.
 Reagin's watch and four one-dol- lar bills were in his vest pockets, but the other pockets had been turned out and no purse was found. Whether he carried any large sum of money with him when he left the bank of Rockdale. of which he was president, had not been determined tonight. After the f-ressley boy had been arrested charged with stealing fenc,. posts. the banker had gone his bail and officials were working on a theory that the negro was in the automobile last night when MT. Rea- gin left here for his farm. Presley was said to have disappeared almost as suddenly as his former employer.
 Robbery Relieved Motive
 Officials generally held to the be- lief that robbery was the motlve TOT the killing. and said nothing had yet, been brought out to bear up reports circulated here that the banker had discovered an illicit distillery on his. plantation and moonshiners had killed him to prevent being arrested.
 Detectives were brought here from Atlanta today to work on the case and efforts are being made'to raise fund of 5000 to ferret out the mystery
 Solicitor General A. M. Brand. who prosecuted John s. Williams and Clyde Manning. principals in the murder farm" cases. arrived here today and took charge of the invest 'gation of the case. which Is in his circuit of the superior court,
 MT. Reagin, who was about 50 years old was married and took an active part in church work here. He was known as man of moderate wealth and quiet habits. The Bank of Rockdale. of which he was head. was reported by It's officials and other bankers here to be in ex- cellent shape.
