This assertion was made here to-
day by c. w. Ashcraft, president OF
the Florence Chamber of Commerce,

injected into the matter, Mr.. Ash
craft said. cit is too vitality inn

it promises so much; partisanship
and political issues should not be iIt

His statement followed reports
that certain big business interests,
aided by a political clique. were work

acceptance of Henry. Ford's bid for
the project, but to delay completion
of work on the big dam which was

said the treasure was stolen half a
century ago from Peruvian church,

THREE DECISIONS
BEFORE ALLIED BODY

PARIS, Aug. 11.-Working with
more than it's accustomed speed, the
allied supreme council took up it's
sessions today with further discus
sion Of three important decisions.
These were:
A plan for dividing Upper Silesia
between Germany and Poland without
extensive military action.
Practical abrogation Of the Sevres
treaty by declaration Of strict nu-
trality in the Graeco-Turkish war.
The formation of an international
relief commission for Russian aid.
Colonel George Harvey, sitting as
the American observer, took no part
in the proceedings, aside from a COM
ment or two.
1t was announced this noon that
the experts had completed the work
Of drawing the upper Silesian bound
airy line and that their report was
ready for submission to the supreme
council at the late afternoon session
of that body.
The luncheon given by President
Millerand at Rambouillet was at
tended also by Myron T. Herrick, the
American ambassador to France, who
went with Ambassador Harvey to
this function. The ambassadors Of
the allies were also among those in
vited.
1t was stated in French quarters
during the afternoon that differences
in the French and British viewpoints
as to the final drawing of the Silesian
boundary line had developed and that
the conference of the heads of the
two governments and their advisers
this morning had not brought about
definite results.
On this account it had been decid-
ed, it was asserted, in French quar-
tiers, to postpone the evening meet
ing of the council in order to allow
the heads Of the government to con-
tinue their first-hand study of the
boundary line problem.

fore the senate interstate commerce

countrywide as wei las railroad re-
Mobilization, and denied that 1t was
a loan or a handout.

ly into the origin of the legislation.

ceiveed the plan, without suggestions
from anybody. His plan. he said,
Secretary Mellon and Secretary
Hoover. Mr.. Meyer said he had not
attended any conference of bankers

Playing Hanging
May Prove Fatal
For Small Boy

MOBILE, Ala, Aug. 11.-"Playing
hanging" proved all but real for Ed
ward Bodden, youth of eleven years,
son of a Mobile shipmaster, who is
today in very serious condition at
a local infirmary, the result of stran-
gulation. A negro murderer was to
be hanged here Friday and this case
brought up a discussion as to how
murderers were put to death. The
boy took an awning rope, adjusted it
about his neck and, climbing to the
railing of the gallery, told them to
watch him." He jumped. 1t is
thought that the boy believed his
feet would reach the gallery floor,
but the rope was short and he hung
suspended in the air. The smaller
boys did not realize that their play
mate was strangling and not until
he turned black in the face and be-
gan bleeding from the nose and
mouth did they summon help. A
servant girl was the first to reach the
boys side and it was necessary to
cut him down.
Physicians stated that he is in a
serious condition.

To TEST VALIDITY
Of GASOLINE: TAX

A test of the constitutionality of
the gasoline tax law, passed by the
general assembly and signed We'd
nesday by Governor Hardwick will
be made by the leading oil COM
panies Of Georgia, according to R.
N. Reed, president and general man
ager Of the Reed Oil company.
Governor Hardwick has expressed
confidence that the law would stand
the test of the courts.
= The new law affixes a tax of one
cent per gallon on gasoline and all
forms of combustib1e motor fuels. 1t
s. will yield an estimated revenue Of
one million dollars. Governor Hard
, wick said that it was the plan of
q the bill to place the tax on motor
fuel at its source, and that 1t Is to
be collected from the dealers who
bring the product to the state in
"a bulk. After it is taxed at its source,
he says, no other state tax will be
levied upon it, no matter how many
r. dealers thereafter handle it.
q Mr.. Reed was in conference early
Thursday morning with executives of
other oil companies handling gaso-
g. line in Georgia, with a view to Sc
curing further cooperation in his
efforts Of bringing the measure to a
test.
eff the gasoline tax bill is legal"
said Mr.. Reed, sit will of course, be
paid by the consumer, thereby rails
ing the market price one cent per
gallon.
1.-THE gasoline dealers have not yet
decided fully as to the exact course
they will pursue, but it is probable
that they will concur in submitting
the new law to the courts. The deal
ers will make a decision as to the
methods of testing the law within
short WHILE
The general tax law. in addition to
the gasoline tax section, provides for
a levy upon every truck and tank
