FOUR KILLED AS
FLARESEXPLODE
Cause of Fatal Accident at Au-
gusta Railway Depot is
Unexplained.
(By Associated Press.)

AUGUSTA, Ca, Feb. 9.-An unex-
planned explosion occurred at the
freight depot of the Southern Railway
here at 5 p. m, killing four men. in
juring four and causing a property
damage estimated at $150000.
The men killed were negro freight
handlers. But one of them, Ed Dav-
export, has been identified. The other
bodies are burned to crisp. Among
the injured are two firemen. They
are only painfully hurt.
The Augusta arsenal was shipping
$500 pounds of flares to Charleston
and they were being removed from
the depot to cars. An explosion oc-
Cured which shook the building and
set it afire. Just what exploded IT
this time is not absolutely known. It
was in this explosion that the loss of
life occurred. A few minutes after
wards the flares exploded, the fire
having reached them, and it was in
this explosion that the ffremen were
hurt. One theory is that the first ex-
plosion was of gasoline, but the rail-
road agent says that he has no in
formation of any high explosive hav-
ing been stored in the building. The
property loss is augmented by the
fact that, in addition to the destruc-
tion of a portion of the building and
the freight in that portion, twelve
freight cars which twere loaded, were
totally destroyed.

SHOOTS HIMSELF
(ey Associated Press

LUMPKIN, Ca, Feb. 9.-E. L.
Brawner, president of the Bank of
Lumpkin, shot and killed himself here
today. The affairs of the bank were
understood to be in good condition. He

member in fraternal organizations and

widow
Mr. Brawner had been in i'll health
TO rsome time and recently had been
placed under observation. He eIuded

Auditors of the state department of
banking were summoned to audit the

GOOD DEMANDS
MORE ECONOMY
Chairman of Appropriation
Committee Says Taxation
Will Be Higher.
WANTS DRASTIC CUTS
House Committee Leader Wants
All Appropriations Passed
This Term.
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-Warning
the house that the mounting wave of
high taxation would not roll back
without a sharp and sweeping reduc-
ton in government expenditures,
Chairman Good, of the appropriations
committee, declared today the time
had come to call a halt
Figures almost beyond comprehen-
sion were hurled over the heads of
the members as Mr.. Good in dramatic
fashion told of the vast sums expend-
ed, and the growing appeals for more.
There was a shout of approval when
he insisted that the appropriation bills
must be passed before the change of
administration March 4 so that the
trainers of a new tariff law may know
the amount of cloth out of which they
must patch the nations coat.
Laying down the definite policy that
expenses must be cut before there is
talk of lower taxes, Mr.. Good insisted
that appropriations for the years be-
ginning next July l should be kept
within three and a half billion dollars,
virtually the sum recommended in the
big supply measures for that period.
Mr. Goods plea for government econ
orny was made in presenting the first
deficiency bill for the present year,
carrying a total of $203,000, 900. Dem
ocratic members of the committe de-
clared there would be other deficiency
sums, and Representative Byrans,
democrat, South Carolina, declared di-
rect appropriations this year already
had passed the five billion dollar mark.
This stupendous sum could best be
understood, Byrans added. by the
fact that in order to meet it the gov
ernment must levy an average tax of
$50 on every man, woman and child in
America.
In suggesting methods of raising
revenue without making the burden on
the individual more severe than it has
been since the early days of the war,
Mr. Good said he doubted if a tariff
law could raise more than $4OO 900, 900
without disturbing international trade
relations.

ENHANCED MAN
WILL Be HANGED
So Rules Attorney General Coco
in Case of Negro Forgotten
by Sheriff.

NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 9.-Lonnie
Eaton, the negro whose date of ex-
ecution was forgotten by the sheriff
of Ouachita parish, will not regain his
freedom because of the oversight, ac-
cording to an opinion handed down
today by Attorney General V. Coco.
Prior to the rendering of the opin-
ion, many leading attorneys of the
state contended that by reason of the
fact that the negro's life had once been
placed in jeopardy when the governor
fixed the date of his execution, and
that date arrived without a reprieve
being granted he could not now be
legally hanged, but that on the other
hand, he was legally dead and must
be granted his freedom.
This was not sustained by the at
torney general who said that he could
find nothing in the text books. ancient
or modern, or in jurisprudence which
furnished the least basis for such an
idea.
The attorney general then ruled that
ii would be legal for the governor to
again fix a date for the execution of
the negro who was convicted of the
murder of Charles NJ. McQuiller,
white planter, in 1917. Will Flourney
another negro convicted of completely
in the crime, is now serving a life
sentence for his part, in the killing of
the white man which occurred in
drunken brawl.
4 movement has been started by
number of interested people in the
state to have the death sentence
standing against the negro commuted
TO life imprisonment.

(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. s. George
White, chairman Of the democratic ma
tional committee, made the positive
assertion ten days ago that he would
not continue as chairman through the
next four years." Robert w. Woolley
former interstate commerce commits
sioner, declared in a statement here
tonight in which he said a wrong in
depreciation" had been placed on the
recent petition from members of the
committee to Mr.. White and the newly
appointed executive committee.
Stating that he had drafted the pc
tition himself after "r,ersonaily in
terviewing many of the signers" and
obtaining the authority of Thomas B.
Love, national committeeman from
Texas, to forward it in his name, Mr..
Woolley declared that in urging a call
for an early meeting of the national
commission, no offense had been in
tended to Mr.. White"
Asserting that the committee chair
man seemed to be doubtful only as to
the date upon which he would retire
and when he would call a meeting of
the committee for the purpose of pre-
senting his resignation, Mr.. Woolley
added:
"At first he indicated that he might
call the meeting in December; then he
was quoted later as postponing it un-
til January, and WHEN / talked with
him ten days ago lie said he might
not retire for six months, but that he
positively would not continue as
chairman through the next four years.
OF this there can be no question"
While the whole Proceeding Mr..
W1ooliey said, was based on the as
sumption that Mr.. Whites announced
intention of resigning was "irrevoc-
able" at the same time, he added,
there could be no doubt that the pur-
pose of the retirement would be left
to his pleasure. AT the proposed
on March 1, it would be sim
pie enough to select a campaign or
steering committee which could ac
lively take charge of the work of or
ganizing. There is no reason for any
misunderstanding, and certainly none
but the most friendly feelings are
cherished for Mr.. White personally
by me or by the many petitioners
whom l have interviewed"
