HOWAT DECLINES
TO END STRIKE

Indianapolis, Sept. 28.-Alexandel
Howat, president of the Kansas coal
miners, was directed today by the vote
of the convention of the United Mine
Workers of America to order strikers
at two Kans as mines back to work, bu5
Immediately after the conventions de-
cision he declared he would not carry
out the order. No announcement was
made by the union officials what steps
if any would be taken to enforce the
decision. In voting, the convention
had before it Howat's assertion tina:
he would be expelled from the .unior
before he would obey such an order.
BY its vote, the convention sustain
ed President John l.. Lewis and other
international officials in ordering the
resumption of work which had not
been obeyed by Howat. All of the
anti-administration element was lined
by behind Howat. All of the anti-ad
ministration element was lined up be.
hind Howat but the roll call showed
an unofficial majority of 926 for the
order, the vote being 2,7O1 to 1,775.
Howat's opposition to the order was
that it would support operators seek
ing to violate contracts with miners
by imposing new working conditions
but President Lewis declared the is
sue was whether the union held its
own men to the fulfillment of their
contracts.
Howat's fight with administration
leaders ended for the convention with
the disposition of the Kansas strike
case. He expected to leave here early
tomorrow to appear in court he would
go to Jail rather than give the bond re-
quired by the court not to call any
more strikes. The disposition of the
Kansas cases which had been before
the convention since last Friday
cleared the way for more rapid prog
ress in convention work, but the end
of the session was not yet in sight.

of men who died that the nation might
live and paid tribute to their mem
cries. No day in the year should be
more absolutely free from CONNER,
cialism of any sentiment except that
of reverence and devotion to memory
of the dead. We still note with pain
that in too many localities sports OF
one kind OR another are taking away
the attention of the rising generation
from the observance of this day. In
many states by legislation it is pro.
tected from desecration, and in all il
should be. If, with the assistance OF
our able and devoted auxiliary and al.
lies, we are not able to inculcate a
deeper reverence for the memory OF
the dead, it will be a reproach to us. >
Revival of the Ku Klux Klan was
condemned by Commander Ketcham
along with other organizations. While
the Grand Army has scant influence
in the state in which the Klan was
incorporated the commander declared
the G. A. R. "should see to it that. any
organization with so offensive and dis.

tude record, attaining a height of
40,800 feet in the same La Pere bi.
plane used by Rudolph C. Shredder
who set q record Of 38,619 on Febru-
ary %, 1920.
Lieutenant Macready was in the air

all but few minutes of the total fly

900 feet ice formed on his oxygen
tank, but he pressed on until the auti
meter registered 41,OOO feet. At this
height his engine coughed and died.
He then glided safely to the ground.
Macreadys new record is $500 feet
higher than that Of Schroeder and ir
this flight the pilot suffered none of
the hardships met by the former chief
test pilot. Schroeder's eye balls froze
and excessive dilation of the heart
kept him in hospital nearly two
weeks after the flight.
The fight made today primarily
was for the purpose Of testing i'm
provements made on the super-charg
er invented by S. A. Moss, who wit
messed the flight, and also a new pro
peller Of very high pitch, perfected
by engineers at the local field.
On landing Macready declared ME
suffered nothing but numbness. He
climbed out of the plane, unassisted
and posed for several photographers
Immediately.
Lieut.. George B. Patterson, chief of
the technical data section of the field.
assisted by Lieutenant Mpriarity,
took charge of Macready's instru
ments as soon as,accumulated ice was
cleared off the ship and following cal
ibration announced the official altitude
as 300 feet.
Macready was clothed. in the heav-
lest furs with special helmet and Cog
giles. To insure vision special gela-
tine was used on the goggles to pre-
vent collection of ice. The suit was
electrically heated throughout.

ALABAMA DIVORCE
VALID in CAROLINA

Spartanburg, Sept. 2S.-The valid
ity of a divorce was the issue in a
report of hearing before S. T. Lam
ham which was filed with the clerk of
court yesterday afternoon in the case
OF w. j. Shirley VS.. ]. C. Harris, Shir-
ley, who was known to be widower,
married sister of Harris and sold
to Harris a tract of land, for which
part cash was paid and mortgage
taken for the remainder. Harris, sub
sequent to the deal, learned of di-
vorce secured by Shirley's first wife
in Alabama and there being no re-
nunciation of dover, Harris was un-
willing to pay the mortgage without
the dover being renounced.
The principal issue in the case was
the validity of divorce which was
granted to Shirley's first wife by the
court in the state of Alabama Sep
tember 8, 1890. After the divorce, as
it appears from the evidence, the first
Mrs. Shirley married again on Feb
ruary "a, 1894, while Shirley came to
Spartanburg and married Miss Emma
j. Harris in February, 1907. The
court says in conclusions:
"The constitution of the United
States provides that full (not some)
faith and credit shall be given to
judicial proceedings of other states
This divorce is therefore to be taken
at it's face value, and w. j. Shirley
was freed by it from the bond of mat
rimony."

NEGRO FACES
MURDER CHARGE

Florence, Sept. 28.-George Rivers
negro, who has been held in the Flor
ence county Jail since July 10 when
he was arrested in Darlington on a
charge of vagrancy, was taken by
Magistrate H. b. Gargis today to Ak
en-, where he will be arraigned to
morrow morning on a charge Of muir
of train No. Sd of the Atlantic Coast
Line May 20, in which Joseph Tenn
pie of Florence, engineer, was killed
and, several trainmen and passengers
were injure1 The wreck occurred
e about four miles from I.-gusta on the
South Carolina side of the liffe.>,.
Rivers has been suspected of hay-
ing been involved in the wreck since
his arrest and has beel held since :h3t
time for investigation. The case
against the negro was worked up by
Detective A. A. Dorsey Of the Coast
Line railroad with offices in Florence
and today Magistrate Gargis came
with bench warrant from Judge S.
w. W. 0HlpP.
Much interest has centered around
the case as several wrecks have oc.
Cured in the same section of the coun-
try. 1t was thought at the time of
the wreck that some disgruntled for.
mer employee had eAdeavored to
wreak vengeance upon the railroad
because of his discharge from the
company's service. Working on this
theory three negroes, all former en-
ployees of the road, were arrested i'm
mediately after the wreck occurred
1t now appears that Rivers also once
worked for the railroad company in
the capacity of a common laborer.
The train was wrecked as the result
of rail being loosened and lifted
from the crossties causing the en-
gine, tender and two express cars
to roll down a shallow embankment.
The injured included: E. E. Jordan.
express messenger, who was slightly
bruised; Charlie Josie, negro fire
man, painfully injured; w. E. Sum-
mers, mail clerk, slightly bruised, and
Harriet Damsen, negress, passenger,
slightly bruised.
