DANV|LLE MOB
ATTACKS JAIL
Attempt to Seize Negro Held
In Connection With Murder
of William Hickman.

DanvilIeS Va, March 22.-No fur
ther trouble was anticipated this
evening at Houston, county seat of
Halifax, where for two hours, be-
tween midnight and 2 o'clock this
morning a mob of 100 men attacked
the jail for the avowed purpose of
seizing Joseph Coleman, a negro,
held in connection with the murder
of William Hickman, near Houston,
early Sunday morning. The attack on
the Jail was wholly unsuccessful,
nobody was hurt and five negro
suspects were taken away from the
town for safekeeping elsewhere dur
ing the course of the afternoon.
Crowbars, pick axes and sledge-
hammers were used in order to get
half crazed with fear, lay on the
floor of their cells to avoid bullets,
which flew into the building. The
jail is one of the best in this section,
two-story brick affair with a wood
en- door and two iron doors to be
passed through before the interior
can be reached. Sheriff L. w. Rice
ad refused to surrender the keys and
felt sure that little short of dyna-
mite could bring about an enatrance.
How William Hickman met his
death is not quite certain but the
authorities who have made an inquiry
feel sure that he was murdered. His
body was found at about 2 O'Clock
Sunday morning by passing motor
lists on the Scottsburg road about
two miles from Houston. His skull

FORDNEY BILL
TO Be PUSHED
THRU CONGRESS
ACT OF CONGRESS
President Harding Has Re-
quested the Passage of a
Measure to Help Farmers,
and Republican Members of
Ways and Means Committee
Want Fordney Bill.

Washington, March 22.-The Ford
ney emergency tariff bill, precisely as
vetoed by former President Wilson,
will be rushed through Congress as
the first important legislation OF the
extra session.
Acceding to the request of Presi-
dent Harding for passage of meas
ure designed to help the farmers,
crying for protection against foreign
competition, Republican members of
the house ways and means commit
tee turned about today and voted to
revive the Fordney bill after agreeing
almost unanimously a week ago not
to consider any emergency legislation
revenue revision.
Senators Penrose, Smeot and Nc
Cumber, conferees from the senate
finance committee, agreed to the new
program, which it was explained,
meets the approval of the President.
Senator Penrose expressed the belief
that the emergency measure would
be in the hands of Mr.. Harding with
in 10 days after the convening of
the special session, April IL.
Several members of the house
committee, including Chairman Ford
ney and Representative Longworth
and Green, conferred with Senator
Penrose, who heads the senate fin
ance committee, after the former com
mittee had reached its agreement.
From this conference came the pre-
diction that the measure would be
rushed through the house under a
special rule and through the senate,
possibly under limitation of debate
Esas enforced by cloture
The new Fordney bill will be pre-
sented with 6 months limitation.
but its provisions will expire at an
earlier date should the permanent
bill be enacted before expiration OF
the six months period.
The house ways and means com
! mittee at the end of an alI-day
wrangle apparently was in the ut
most harmony. Calling in newspa
per men at the close of the session
| Chairman Fordney set forth the fina
program with everybody expressing
approval.

GAS COMPANIES
HEARING BEGINS
THIS MORNING
WILL LAST TWO WEEKS
Wilson's Machine Gun Com
pany Will be Inspected on
the First. During the Early
Part of April North Caro-
lima Will Have Completed
Regiment National Guard.

Raleigh, March 22.-Hearing of
the petition of the gas companies op-
Grating plants in sixteen North Caro-
lima cities for retention of the tenn
porary gas rate, established by the
corporation commission last summer
began in Raleigh this morning. All
indications are that the hearing
will take up a great deal of time, but
it is the hope of the commission that
the hearing may be expedited in such
a manner that it will be possible to
hand down the final decision in these
cases by the first of April.
While the cases will be consolidat-
ed where this is possible, it will be
almost impossible to consider all OF
the cases in the same class, even
though the plants in number of
cities are owned and operated by the
same company. The commission in
tends to go into the detailed merits
of each city, making an effort to
find out what it costs to produce gas
in every city, and the rate to be fin
ally decided on will depend on the
production cost in each of the cities
where the rate is involved.
Contrary to the popular opinion
about this hearing it is not petit
tion for increasing rates. 1t is rather
a question of deciding whether or
not the temporary rate established
last summer will be maintained, and
if not to what extent it will be cut
There will be no increase in the
rate over what is being charged now
and there is every presumption that
the present rate will be cut
This rate was made during a period
when the prices of coal and gas oil
were at the peak.
The gas companies themselves

SCHOOL BUILDING
DESTROYED BY FIRE:
1t is Believed That Two Small
Boys Set Fire to the Build
ing.

Norfolk, Va, March 22.-Small
boy vandalism is believed by the po-
lice to have been responsible for the
destruction of the John Marshall
Public School building here. Two
youngsters were discovered in the
basement of the school building by
Charles Dreyfus, who observed smoke
issuing from that part of the build
ing and went in to investigate.
When Dreyfus undertook to
trampIe out the burning rags and
paper, the boys demonstrated with
him, telling him to let it burn so
they would not have to go back to
school. A statement to this effect was
made to the police this afternoon by
Dreyfus.
The fire was discovered ten minutes
after the pupils, nearly thousand in
number, had been dismissed for the
day. Only the teachers and a few be-
lated children were in the building
when the alarm of fire was spread
by Dreyfus. All escaped to safety.
The building valued at 100000,
carrying $4,000 insurance, was COM
pletely gutted by the flames, only
the walls remaining.
The police are investigating the
report of incendiarism and arrests
may follow.
