get jack. They could not fix the
puncture and came back to town, ar.
irving here about o'clock, and got
Mr. G. c. Johnson to go to the Dillon
Motor Sales Cos. and get them an in.
ner tube. The hour was late and Mr
Johnson demurred, but they explain
ed to him that they had this car To-
Gated and 1T was very important thar
they reach the place before daylight
Mr.. Johnson went to the garage, got
the inner tube and the officers left
going toward Latta. Near the GENE
terry they came across the Stackhouse
car which they recognized. AS the car
was already under suspicion, said Mr..
Sitton, they decided that it looked
doubly suspicious to see il out on the
highway at that hour of the night
When they went to search the car
they found ii contained white man.
The white man was Mr.. Miller. Mr..
Miller interposed an objection, saying
that it was an outrage to hold up a
man on the highway in any such man
ner- The officers told him that the
car was under suspicion and that
they wanted to look through it; that
he was in no danger whatever and
to keep quiet. After searching the car
and finding nothing in the shape of
liquor they told Stackhouse to pro-
ceed on to Latta with his passenger.
They went On ahead of the car and be-
fore they reached Latta they began to
discuss the claim made by Mr.. Miller
that he was a Mason. Mr.. Sitton said
this in itself looked suspicious to him
and they stopped the car and he be-
gan to question Miller again. He
said Miller told him he was on his way
to Latta to see his wife and that she
was visiting Mrs. Bethea." He
asked what Mrs. Bethea she was visit
ing but he did not seem to know her
first name. Mr.. Sitton said he ques-
TONED him further as to his Masonic
claims, being a Mason himself, but
Mr.. Miller could not give him the re-
Quired Masonic signs. He then re-
quested Miller to put up bond
which he did and allowed him to pro-
ceed on to Latta-
Mr.. Sitton's testimony was corro-
borated by Officers Britt and Hamil-
ton. Mr.. G. C. Johnson also testified
that when the officers were at the
OIL dSC aI " CiOCh thcy Wclc SODci
Messrs. j. D. and Carol Hargrove
and F. B. David testified that they
had seen Mr.. Sitton around IL o'clock
that night and he was perfectly sober.
Mr.. Phil Cook. at whose house the
officers stopped to enquire the way to
a certain place shortly before they
came up with the Stackhouse car,
testified that they were sober when
they were at his house.
After celebrating several hours the
jury returned verdict against the Of
ficers on the first charge. to-wit. mis-
conduct in office, the second
charge of assault and battery being
dismissed. The court imposed a SEN
tence of $500 with a IL months sus-
pended sentence on Mr.. Sitton and a
fine of $3.50 each against Messrs
Britt and Hamilton, with a suspended
sentence of IL months.
The defendants attorneys gave no.
tice Of appeal and the case will be
carried to the supreme court in an
effort to set aside the verdict and OBJ
tain a new trial.

FORMAL INVITATION is SENT TO

Wnshington.-Putt into definite
terms its proposals for II disarmament
conference. the United States invited
the great powers to unite in IA prac-
tical effort TO remove the causes of
misunderstanding" and so facilitate re-
duction of the worlds enormous outlay
for the materials of war.
Informal identic notes of invitation
forwarded to Great Britain, France,
Italy and Japan, the American govern
ment pledged its own unstinted coop
eration in such an effort and further
defined as follows as its own cOncep-
tions of the principles involved:
That there can be no hope for peace
or stability until the tax burden re-
sulting from heavy armament had
been reduced.
That such a reduction is possible
only if troublesome international
problems are solved by common con
sent
That among these problems the Pa
cific and Far Eastern questions occu-
py position of "unquestioned inn
portance."
to dictate the scope of the conference,
the discussions should touch upon
matters (which have been" of interna-
tional concern as well as those now
admittedly controversial and
That the question of naval arma-
ments might well be considered first
though there should he no barrier to II
| full consideration of armaments of eV-
cry sort.
Considerably with the dispatch of

ers, China was asked to send dele

mally that they would accept. D."
The note of invitation follows the
principles previously defined by this

tions with other powers, but particu-
lar attention. was attracted by the
suggestion that solution of the Far
Eastern situation should include
l"common understandings with respect
to matters which have been and are
of international concern.
State Department officials would
not interpret the text of the note, but
the general assumption here was that
under this definition II way would be

| Yap and Shantung, which "have been
of international concern, but which
! japan now is inclined to regard as

TWO LEAP TO DEATH
FROM DECK OF LINER
Walter Forbes of Detroit
Fought for Life After
Plunge Off Algeria.

Two cabin passengers of the Anchor
liner Algeria. in yesterday from Glas-
gov. took the Atlantic route to death.
Walter Forbes. an American citizen OF
$50 Lovett avenue, Detroit, jumped from
the promenade deck when the liner was
in mid-ocean on the morning of May 3.
A boatswain who saw Forbes go over
shouted Man overheard !" and the cabin
passengers on deck ran to the port side
and saw Forbes struggling in the choppy
water. He had evidently changed his
mind about drowning himself. as he made
a strenuous but futile effort to reach
life ring that had been thrown toward
him.
Capt Kinnard ordered a boat lowered
and signalled the engineer to stop the
ship. but she was still under way when
the boat in charge of Second officer
Young, cushioned itself on the sea and
drifted toward the stern and against the
side of the moving liner. The boat was
nearly overturned and Second officer
Young and the boatswain's mate were
thrown into the sea but were picked up
by their shipmates. BY this time Forbes
had disappeared.
1t is surmised that Forbes. who was
IS years old and had been visiting rela-
tives in Scotland, may have been al
fected psychologically by the suicide the
morning before of Patrick Mclaughlin.
Al years old, making his first trip from
Glasgow. He left his stateroom at D
o'clock wearing only pajamas He did
not return and q search OF the ship failed
to reveal him He told some OF the
passengers he had recently lost his wife
and was suffering from a nervous break
down. He was on his way to friends In

fore whom the divorce proceedings were

attorneys that the alleged conversation

communication and as such is not COM
petent.
Attorneys on both side are agreed
that some place other than the Bar
Association will have to be found for
the hearing when 1t is resumed on May

not been decided.
