Power of Settlement
Is rendered to Davis;
SeeEndof Marine War

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Decision
of representatives of the seamen
marine engineers and radio operators
to place full power in the hands of
Secretary Davis to effect settle
ment for them with ship owners and
the United States shipping board in
the marine wage controversy was re-
garded as offering a definite prospect
today for termination of the dispute.
The decision was reached at a con-
ference here last night between the
union heads a. the labor secretary,
at which it was also agreed that they
would present to him today tentative
agreements involving wage reduc-
tions, new working conditions and
overtime scales.
AS a basis for negotiating a set
Element of the dispute, Secretary
Davis planned to present these new
proposals today to shipping board
and other government officials, with
indications that Secretary Hoover
probably would be among those call
ed into conference. It is UNDERSTOOD
that the proposals will provide for
basic IS per cent wage reduction, as
demanded by ship owners and the
board, but that upward revision IN
overtime scales and working condl-
tions would make the reductions &C
tually range from 10 to II IL per
cent. While the cooks and stewards
were not represented at last night
conference, it is believed that an
agreement in their case would quick
ly follow a sttlement with the other
unions.

Legion Moves to Aid
Widows and Orphans

WASHINGTON, d. C.-The Amer
lean Legion is determined to make
fight in the sixty-seventh congress
to obtain vocational education for
widows and orphans of men killed in
/ France, according to John Thomas
Taylor, vice chairman of. the legions
Irrational legislative committee.
Vocational education for widows
and orphans of all ex-service men
who died overseas during the war
was provided in the Kenyon bill
passed by the United States senate
at the last session of congress. The
same bill, introduced by Representa-
tive Fess, of Ohio, in the house did
not pass, but was favorably report
ed by the house committee on educa-
ton, with, however, the provision for
vocational educa ton for widows and
orphans stricken out. Senator Ken
yon has reintroduced his bill, with
the widow and orphan education fea-
ture included; the American Legion
is backing the Kenyon bill.
There are approximately $4,000
widows and $4,000 orphans Of Amer
ica's dead If the government were
to provide vocational education for
all of them, the cost would be $122,-
100000, an estimate based upon the
present cost of vocational education,
as given by the federal board for vo-
cational education, which is $125 a
month per man for maintenance and
$35 per month for books. equipment,
tuition and incidentals.

WARRANT TAKEN FOR
DEATH CART DRIVER

NEW YORK, May ia federal
warrant was issued today for Giusep-
nj de F'ilippo, Bayonne truck man, de-
tanned as a Wall street bomb plot
suspect, charging him with having
attempted to destroy the United
States assay offick
The warrant was issued by United
States Commissioner Hitchcock, on
complaint of Charles H. Scully, head
of the department of justice head
quarters in this city, who said De Fill
ippo had been identified by several
persons as the driver of the death
cart that figured in the explosion.
AT the same time the police an
nounced that Thomas Smith, re-
tired fireman, who several weeks ago
pect, as a man he had seen talking
to the driver of the death cart, had
told them De Filippo looked like the
driver.
1t was learned from the New York
police that Raymond Clarke, a con-
Struction foreman, was one of the
witnesses taken to Bayonne today
Identification after his arrest on sus-
picion> there last night.
Clarke failed to identify De Flip
pc as the man who he claimed ran
up to him shortly after the eXplo-
sion crying: my God, that was my
wagon"
Identification of deFilippo as the
bomb wagon driver by three nen
was positive" and the department of
justice has no doubt it has the right
man this time. it was announced at
the departments headquarters here.
Two department officials went to
Newark to confer with federal at
torneys regarding bringing the pris-
oner to New York.

TREASURY TO ASSIST.
FARMERS IN GETTING
LONG TERM CREDITS

WASHINGTON, May 19.-Legis-
1ation to enable banks to extend long
er term credits to farmers and live
stock men will get the support of
the treasury, Secretary Mellon said
today.
Measures of this sort have been
introduced, but are now being re-
written. It is probable that Secre-
tary Mellon will approve publicly
a proposal to aid the farmer as soon
as it is put in the form he favors.
Under present legislation bank
members of the federal reserve sys-
tenn cannot loan on paper running
longer than six months. This has
worked hardship on live stock rails
ers and farmers who have been
caught in the slump and are unable
to meet their paper running for that
length of time.
The new proposal would allow the
acceptance of paper running for as
long as two years, thus giving the
producers longer time in which to
right their aaffirS.
Secretary Mellon believes that the
new plan can be put into effect with
out injury to the federal reserve
banks.

SOLDIER FROM GEORGIA
MAKES DESPERATE TRY
AT PRISON ESCAPE

NEW YORK.-Military authorities
sale attempt at escape on the part
Of more than 200 prisoners was
frustrated when Private Lee Jenkins,
% years old, apparently the ring
leader in the plot. fell nearly 100
feet through the iron door leading
to the tower~of the ancient building.
Jenkins. who is from Thomasville,
Ga. and who had been sentenced to
five years Imprisonment for rob-
bling a soldier at Camp Dix. was to
be transferred to Fort Leavenworth,
Kans. He had sawed through one
of the bars in a heavy iron door
leading to the circular stairway that
leads to the roof of the old castle.
By bending the bar he made room
enough to allow man of ordinary
build to slip through. The prisoners
at Castle William are not locked in
their cells until $50 o'clock at night
Just before 8 o'clock, while it was
still light, Jenkins obtained seven
blankets, the extra ones evidently be-
ing contributed by other prisoners
who were "in" on the plan to es-
cape. Jenkins knotted the blankets
together and tied the end to one of
the old cannonS on top of the fort.
He started to lower himself. ev1-
IDENTIFY intending to drop the inter-
vening distance when he had gone as
far as the blankets would carry him.
The knot in the second blanket
from the top was insecurity tied
and the improvised line parted. Jen-
kins alighted on the stones at the
foot of the castle, close to the wa
ter's edge, broke his nose and suf-
fered other injuries from which it
was at first thought he would die.
Jenkins fall ended any further at
tempts to escape that may have
been contemplated by prisoners.
How the prisoner obtained the saw
with which he severed the iron bar
and how he managed to carry on
the work without being discovered
by sentries were matters of mystery
to the authorities yesterday. If he
had succeeded in reaching the shore
without detection the prisoner could
only have made good his escape by
swimming from the island. Castle
William has been the scene of many
attempted escapes since it's use AS
a prison, but for sheer audacity> ap
parently none has eqdaled Jenkins
effort.

Peach Spraying
This Week Urged

FORT VALLEY, Ga, May 10
Growers should not fail to make an
application of arSenate of lead and
seIf-boiled lime-sulphur or 80-5-15
dust to Hiley peaches during the
week May 1921, according to gov
|ernment experts here. According to
the life history of the curculio it is
quite probable they will become ac-
tive again on Hileys during the next
lew weeks. Consequently, it is eX-
tremely advisable to make an appli-
cation of spray to that variety i'm
mediately. This is the last applica-
ton to Hileys unless a great deal of
rain and cloudy weather occurs be-
tween row and the ripening period
which would make it necessary to
apply an application of self-botled
lime-sulphur alone, or 8O-5-15 dust,
about ten days to two weeks before
harvest.
Growers are advised not to spray
Georgia Bellies or Elbertas at the
same time as recommended for Hill
eys. Georgia Bellies should not re-
ceive the next application of arsen-
ate of lead and self-boiled lime-sul-
phur until the week of May 30-June
a. Elbertas will need the applica-
ton during the week June ell.
Frequent discing of orchards, par
ticularly under the trees near the
tree trunk, is especially urged to de-
stroy the curculio in the pupa' stage.
Recent observations show that 45
per- cent of the worms in the soil
have passed to the pupa. stage and
will soon be emerging as adult cur
culio beetles. Frequent discing de-
stroys or disturbs the pupa cells and
prevents the insect from developing.
The curculio and brown rot are be-
ing very satisfactorily controlled to
date in the Georgia peach belt, and
growers are urged to vigorously con-
tinue the fight against these pests
until the battle is won at the har-
vest IF late varieties

"Brother Isaiah
Restores Speech and
Sight in Jacksonville

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, May 10
Before a crowd of approximately TO-
900 people Brother Isaiah" the New
Orleans widely known divine healer,
ministered to the halt, the lame and
the blind at meeting in Confeder-
ate park here Wednesday evening,
Brother Isaiah" wearing a long
flowing white robe, spoke for about
an hour before demonstrating his
power.
Florence Giles, a deaf mute, was
the first cure effected, and tears
streamed down her face as the real
ization that she could hear and
speak swept over her. Exclama-
tions of GLORY to GodI were heard
throughout the crowd, which had
been more or less skeptical in the
beginning. A two-year-old baby of
Mrs. M. L. Rawley, of Green Cove
Springs, who had been blind from
birth, was then treated. The child
had been unable to distinguish light
from darkness, and following the
treatment pointed to an electric light,
then reached out it's hands for red
shawl waved before it. The healer
stated that the sight would gradu-
ally return. The demonstrations con-
tinued far after midnight Thursday
morning, and two more meetings
were held during the day.

Cure for Boastinu

The engineer, says an exchange,
had become tired of the boastful
talk he heard from, the other engine
drivers at his be arding house. One
evening he began: This morning L

we've got ct our place, and it's as
tonishing how it works"
And how does it work." asked
he.

of pedal attachment a fulcrumed
lever converts vertical reciprocal
ing motion into a circular move
ment. The principal part of the
machine is huge disk that revolvas
