Dear SIr:

ton Of your editorials and the spirit
you manifest towards our town.
Two editorials especially, I will men
ton; Character Assassins'' for one.
In it was food for thought, and [ hope
it will be well assimilated, causing us
to consider well before we speak, and
to deal gently with the erring one.
Sometimes we have not erred, but my
how we are torn to pieces.
Another editorial, that has an out
look to the future beauty Of the town,
i I am heartily in favor Of
| The trees are being destroyed, per
| haps necessarily, but let us get to-
gether AMI do our very best to replace
those destroyed, (now is the time) and
plant where needed.
I am sure every citizen in town will
donate one tree or shrub to beautify
the town in which they live.
| FRIENDS; speak up, let the editor
know what you will do. I am conf
+: dent the town will plant them for us.
! Keep on with the good work, Mr.

Court Holds Michigan
Seizure Law Illegal
sosc;o, Di,poteh to The Tribune

DETROIT, March 31-As a result of
a decision of the Supreme Court, Mich
igan is to-day without search and seiz
ure provision in its state prohibition
law. The decision declares the seizure
section of the law is in direct conflict
with the state constitution and there
fore void.
The decision came in the case of
James j. Kelley, convicted under the
Wiley act on a charge of having trans
ported sixteen gallons Of liquor from
Newark, N. j., to Jackson, Mich. The
Supreme Court holds that the inter
state transportation section under
which Kelley was convicted was in con-
fict with the Reed amendment to the
Webb Kenyon liquor law forbidding the
transportation Of liquor from one state
TO another.
Another opinion holds that the search
and seizure sections of the Wiley act
Of 1919 are unconstitutional and that
officers have no power to obtain search
warrants or to interfere with persons
unless they can prove before the search
is made that the liquor is illegally i
a certain place.
Whisky will be pouring into Mich
igan within two weeks as result of
the ruling John A. Grogan, Collector
Of Internal Revenue, said to-day.

$l7,8O3,985 Written OFF for
Depreciation in Inventory;
Decline i'm Earnings

The General Electric wrote off ST.
SO3,9S5 for the shrinkage in inventories
values and charged this amount to 1920
income account. Even with this charge
against income the amount available
for dividends was equivalent to 1851
a share of stock in 1920, against $20.S0
in 1919.
At the end of 1920 there were SILL
900 untitled orders on hand, COM
pared with ss8,Sso7,ooo on hand At the
end Of 1919. In this connection Pres-
dent j. c. Coffin says in the annual re-
port just made public:
"The unprecedented amount Of orders
received by your company during the
first seven months of the year, plus
the untitled orders at the beginning of
the year, resulted in most urgent
efforts in a difficult situation to add to
your manufacturing facilities.
The expenditure Cor additional land
buildings, machinery and equipment
during 1920 was $31 800 ,496.1O, against
which $15,577 ,359.92 has been written
off plant account or added to general
plant reserve, making the increase in
the net book value of plant and equip
ment $15,723, 1868"
The more important balance sheet
changes were an increase in inven-
tories from SS3,97S, 1853 in 1919 to $11S,-
9,174 in 1920 and an increase in liza
from the War Finance Corporation and
the government. Notes payable are
shown as of December l at $45, ,979.37.
but up to March 26, 1921, all but about
$4,000 900 of these notes had been paid

OPEN MINDON
PHILIPPINES
BY LINTON WELLS

SAN FRANCI6CU, ApfH d
started out to interview Maj General
Leonard Wood. But he interviewed
me.
General Wooa is en- rout9 to the
Philippine Islands as a special repre-
sentative Of President Harding to in
vestigate the readiness OF the Fill
pinos tor self government
He explains he is seeking lnfomna-
tion, not giving it.
He wants the American people to
know that he gees with an absolutely
open mind and no prejudice3.
And he points out were he to talk
in any fashion regarding the islam
it would seem to indicate he might
have an opinion already formed.
When he learned that | was but
shortly returned from the Philippines
and had been over there for a period
of years, he opened up ON me.
'In the event of independence,
whom do the Filipinos believe would
protect them from outside agrees
ion?" he asked.

cant.
why, the United States, sup
pose" | replied, in the same man
ner as she protects Cuba"
"Hum-m-m was his comment.
4 suppose the Jones bin is quite
popular among tne Americans there" "
he remarked.
= / agreed.
And then he asked if Il Filipino had
not been suggested for the post Of
vice-goverRor.
TepIied that Senate President
Manuel L. Quezon had been recon-
mended by Harrison for the post Of
governor general
A smile was his only comment, but
later he remarked that he knew both
Quezon and Sergio Osmena, speaker
Of the House of Representatives, and
that both were good men.
He appeared very interested III
newspaper clippings which / had
brought from the lsIand-nany out
wardly unfriendly toward the admin
istratioH-and requested copies.
| told him that recent press dis
patch from Manila said both he and
W Cameron Forbes, former governor
general of the Philippines, were un-
popular with. the Filipinos and not
desired as governor generals.
He. appeared surprised.
General Wood denied having talk
ed with former President Taft while
in the east, but. admitted that. he
would "call Upon Elihu Root inform
ally"
Root is here fer a few weeks visit.
Taft and Root oppose Filipino in
dependence.
Wood said that he had not con-
versed with members of the con
gressional iunket that visited Manila
last July and appeared deeply inter
ested in reports" concerning it.
Concerning REPORTS that he would
visit Jaran, Wood said that an invita-
tion had not been Officially tender

From all information that can be
pieced together here. a compromise
with the Filipino independence advo.

PLANTER FLAYED
BY ATTORNEY IN
SPEECH TO JURY
Verdict In Celebrated
Trial Nav Be Reach
ed ] ollight

CONVICTION, April 8.-John S.
Williams, the Jasper county planter,
VISA willing to sacrifice the Convict
lives" Of eleven negroes on his farm
to his own security and pride of posi-
ton, the jury trying him for the mur.
der Of one Of them, was told today by
former Congressman William M.
Howard, in the closing argument for
the prosecution. Only those negroes
who had been bailed out Of Jail and
whom he said were held on the Will
liams farm by force to work out
debts, were subject to this terrible
contagion of DEATH" Howard said.
Greene Johnson, leading counsel
for Williams, followed Howard with
a final plea for the defendants ac-
quittal, and it appeared early today
as though the judges charge would
be completed and the case given to
the Jury for consideration before
night ~
In his address, flaying Williams un-
mercifully, Howard contended shat
even if the jury did not believe the
statement Of the negro Clyde Man
ming that he helped William kill the
oleYent men, the fact that they had
been killed and that Williams alone
had a motive for their murder, re-
NAMED for their consideration.
Williams got his, sons away from
the farm before an investigation into
the killing was started, Attorney
Howard argued to the jury, to which
Attorney Johnson replied by saying
that Williams sons We're not on trial
Attorney Johnson. in his final plea
for Williams, assailed Manning as
confessed liar and an admitted
murderer who in his own statement
said he had 'knocked a niger on
the head as he would an OK" Man
ning's ignorance. had allowed the ne
gre to believe himself to be "as gull
ty as Williams" Of peonage, and that
belief furnished him a motive for
the Killings, Attorney johnson de-
clared.
Attorney Johnson also urged that
the Jury remember that Williams was
being tried for only one of the
legged murders, and that the others
should not be considered in connec-
tion with their verdict Court re-
cessed for lunch before Attorney
Johnson concluded his address.
