'GETSSEVEN YEARS

5PARTANBURG JURY CONViCTS
WOMAN
Judge Greene Refuses Plea for
Leniency and Denies Motion
for New Trial
The State.

The State.
Spa1tanburg, April 27.-Frances
Schmartz, young white woman, was
convicted by jury in court of ses-
sions this morning on the charge of
being accessory to the assault and
robbery of her uncle, w. E. Acree, at
Wexford last January and was given
a sentence of seven years imprison-
ment.
! w. F. Oats and T. M. Fisher, who
late yesterday pleaded<guilty as prin-
cipals to the crime, were each gwen
a seven year sentence also this morn
ing by Judge w. P. Green, who de-
clared the crime to be one of the
foulest that had come under his OBJ
servation during quarter of CEN
tury.
The jury in the Schmartz case was
out 32 minutes. Immediately after
the verdict was announced, c. P.
Sims, one of the woman's attorneys,
made a motion for, new trial and
the motion was promptly overruled
and sentence pronounced.
]. G.. Galbraith, attorney for Fisher
and Oates, made a, plea for mercy on
the ground that the men had admit
ted the crime, expressed their sorrow
and on the fact that they had borne
good regulations prior to this time.
Judge Greene said he felt profound
sympathy for the parents of the
young men and the woman, but
that he could not, in justice to the
public at large, impose light sentences
, as he had been asked to do.
Oates and&Fisher. heard their sem
tences without displaying any emo
ton. The young woman was appar-
emily unmoved when the verdict of
guilty was announced, but seemed
to be stunned when told that she must
serve seven years in prison. She wept
continuously until removed from the
court room and was, carried back to
her cell in the county jail.
Judge Greene, in passing sentence,
stimulated that the men and the wonn-
an may serve their sentences either in
the county Jail or on the county
chain gang Or in the state peniten-
tiary. Supervisor Vernon and Sheriff
Miller will decide whether the parties
are to be kept here or sent to the
penitntiary.
The court room was crowded dur
ing the trial of the Schmartz woman
this morning.

TALK IN HOUSE.
OF OFDISARMAMENT
CONSIDERATION OF NAVAL BILL
POSTPONED
Ninety Million Dollars Would b
Used to Complete Building
Program of 1916

Washington, April 25.-Disarma-
ment sidetracked consideration of the
naval appropriat; i bill in the house
today, when Representative Kelly,
Republican, Michigan, brought for
ward the committee proposals to pro-
vide 1896, 100000 for the navy's next
fiscal year, of which $90,OoO,ooo
would be used toward completion OF
the 1916 building program. The ex-
pansion program, Mr.. Kelly asserted
would \ ~ ''to lift the load now on
the shou. ..rs of the world for arma-
ment construction and maintenance" ."
"When these ships we are building
have been completed" he said, "the
United States will equal in sea power
any nation in the world, and will be
in a position to offer proportionate
reduction in armament
Theodore Burton, Republican, OF
Ohio, former senator, supported the
committee spokesman in his declara-
ton for an adequate navy and also
urged that there be the nucleus OF a
large army for the United States. He
declared, however, that the ''time has
come for an international conference
for the sake of stopping this madden
ing competition for the construction
of armadas."
This view was indorsed by. Repre-
sentative Byrnes, Democrat, South
Carolina, who turning to taxation
features involved in military pro-
grams, said congress this year would
appropriate FIVE and half billions,
or $50 head for each citizen of the
United States. -

TWO MOVES MADE
In PEACE POLICY
KNOX RESOLUTION REPORTED
FAVORABLY IN SENATE
Chairman Porter Introduces Measures
Dealing Separately With
Germany and Austria

Washington, April 25.-Progress
on the peace policy-to end the state
Of war by resolution of congress
was made today in both branches of
congress.
In the senate the Knox peace reso-
luton, revised in more detail, was re-
ported favorably by the foreign re-
lations committee, and announcement
was made by, Senator Lodge of Mas
sachusetts, Republican leader, that
it would be called up tomorrow.
Two similar resolutions, dealing
separately with Germany and Austria
were introduced in SIC house by
Chairman Porter of the foreign af-
fairs committee, who announced that
they would not be- taken up until after
the senate acts on the Knox measure.
Although the senate is to begin
formal consideration tomorrow of the
Knox resolution, it was not certain
tonight that actual debate would
start before Wednesday. Neither
Senator Knox of Pennsylvania, au-
thor of the resolution. nor other Re
publican leaders contemplated debat-
ing the measure tomorrow and DEM
ocrats also were not ready to begin
discussions.
An informal conference tomorrow
between Senator Underwood of Ala
bama, Democratic leader and minor
ity member Of the foreign relations
committeeS with a few other proml-
nent Democratic senators was plan
ned to discuss course of procedure.
Senator Underwood said he expected
Democratic action would be similar
to that with regard to the first Knox
resolution, which was vetoed by for
mer President Wilson. The resolu-
ton was at that time opposed by
majority of the Democrats but sup
ported by number.
That senate debate would consume
only few days was predicted by
both Republican and Democratic
leaders. A final vote later this week
was regarded as possible.

: After all, one gathered from DR.
McCullough's sermon that it is the
personal appeal to the mind and the
heart and the soul that really counts
Probably the greatest oration in the
world was the Sermon on the Mount;
and vet, there was no pretense to eio-
ouence or fowery flights of oratory.
It was truth, simply and plainly stat
ed. That, however, had divine in
sn;ration behind it. That was the
Christ talking, and for more than two
thousand years no other such man mas
walked the earth.
But the personal appeal was there
Notwithstanding its divine inspiration
and possibly the dine inspiration
is what accounted for the personal
human appeal.

the Diet of Worms, he declared the

declaration of independence-posslbly
more so-than that written by the
American colonies in 1776. 1t was

morning and in attending the services
tonight, | was forcibly reminded OF a
little talk l heard made in Aiken two
or three years ago by a NeWberry
man-Mr. Otto Klettner. At that
time the great World war was IN
progress. l think Mr.. Klettner came
to this country years ago stralghI
from Germany. At any rate, ne had
several relatives in the German army,
and two sons in the American army
1t was a situation which called tor
manhood and for the kind of courage
which comes from clean living and
from right thinking. Mr.. klettner
faltered not for minute. His rel
atives across the water were already
engaged, and in his adopted land ne
was cheerfully giving his sons for the
right, as he saw the right.

Martin Luther was a man-a man

terrors in a religious hierarchy-phy-

and he founded the Protestant re-
