INDICTED FOR IL OTHER MUIR
DERS

MONTICELLO, Ca, April H.
Grand jury investigation today into
the deaths of negroes alleged to have
been held in peonage on the farm of
John S. Williams resulted in inGict-
ments being returned against Will
liams, three of his sons, and Clyde
Manning, negro farm boss, charging
total of eleven murders in Jasper
county in addition to the three in
Newton county.
The lynching several months ago
of Eugene Hamilton, negro preach
er, was inquired into by the grand
jury but after hearing all witnesses
it was decided that there was not
sufficient evidence to warrant true
bills. The jury will meet again to-
morrow to inquire into two more
homicides, the details of which Off
cials refused to give out.
None of the cases against the Will
liams family or Manning will be call
ed for trial before May, it was an
nounced by Judge P. B. Parks. The
elder Williams was convicted last
week in Newton county of the mur-
der of one of the three negroes TAX
en- into that county and drowned, and
is now awaiting hearing April 80 or
a motion for a new trial. Whipping
of negroes who had run away and
were caught and other cruel treat
ment was alleged by witnesses today
although it was said the negroes were
well fed and clothed.

CONVICTION, Ca, April 9.-John
S. Williams, Jasper county farmer,
was taken to Atlanta and placed in
jail today to await action April 80 on
his motion for a new trial which was
made here today Immediately after
he was convicted and sentenced to
life time Imprisonment on a charge
Of murder. He expressed confidence
he would finally be cleared of the
charges. The trial was the first one
arising from accusations that Will
liams caused the killing of eleven
negro farm hands after Department
of Justice agents had started to in
vestigate alleged peonage charges on
his farm February 16 last. Three of
the negroes, including Lindsey Peter
sin, whom he was specifically charged
with killing, at the trial ending to-
day, were all known to have been
brought into Newton county and
drowned.
The other eight negroes were de-
clared by Manning, negro farm boss
and self-confessed accomplice, to
have been killed in Jasper county
anu inquiry ny IIc SIduu jury WlLu
view to indicting Williams and three
of his sons is to open there Monday.
Williams appeared to take his con-
viction calmly but when his wife and
daughters broke into sobs, their
grief affected him and he struggled
to hide his emotions as he sought to
comfort them. He was allowed to re-
main in the court room with them for
ten or fifteen minutes before being
taken to Atlanta.
Date for trial of Williams on the
other two indictments here has not
been set nor has the court announc-
ed when Manning will be tried, al
though it was indicated the negro
would face a jury before the regular
July term. Counsel for Williams
held that he cannot be tried on the
indictment charging murder of Willie
Preston, whose body was found chain
ed to that of Peterson but the state
contends the Indictment resulting
from the death of Preston is a sepa-
rate one and that he can be tried on
it as well as on the third indictment
charging murder of another negro,
| Harry Price. The defense contended
the drowning of Peterson and Preston
was one act

NEGROES "SHOOT IT
OUT" AT CHURCH

Last Sunday bedlam broke out at
the Pine Springs negro church west
of the city, and from the shooting
heard it sounded like real battle.
1t seems that couple of colored
brethren by the names of Jesse
Hairston and "Pocohontas" got into
an alteration and tried to settle their
difficulty with their pistols.
The shooting began in the church
building while the house was full.
The Hairston negro was hit first and
brought down to the floor, who then
continued the shooting while on the
floor. 1t is reported that only the
two men, Hairston who lives in the
Pine Springs neighborhood and
"Pocohontas" Water Valley negro,
did all the shooting, both emptying
their pistol chambers and after refill
ing them shot them empty second
time before the fusillade was stopped.
Hairston was shot in the leg, arm
and hand while "Pocohontas" was
hit couple of times in the bowels,
and may die. Four or five other
negroes were nit by flying bullets,
several of them being brought to the
Water Valley hospital for treatment.
We understand Sheriff Frost has
placed under arrest all the negroes
implicated in the affair.

HARDING PROCLAIMS
FINAL REJECTION OF
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
An Initial Message to Congress
Asks for a Congressional
Declaration of Peace-Gives
Much Attention to Tariff
and Tax Revision, Reviews
Railroad Situation.

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Final
rejection of the Versailles League of
Nations by the American government
was proclaimed to the world today by
President Harding in a solemn pro-
nouncement of the foreign policies
of his administration.
Speaking before the new Congress,
assembled to write a program of po-
litical and economic reconstruction,
the President declared acceptance of
the League would be nothing short
of betrayal of the mandate of the
November elections. Instead he ask
ed for Congressional declaration of
peace, and for ratification of those
portions of the Versailles treaty,
which protects specifically American
rights and interests in the war settle
ment.
''In the existing League of Ma
tions, world-governing with its super
powers, this republic will have no
part" he said. "It is only fair to say
to the world in general, and to our
associates in the war, in particular,
that the League covenant can have no
sanction by US"
The declaration was answered by
a tremendous demonstration i n
which Republican Senators and Rep
resentatives led while most of their
and unmoved. After weighing the
words of the chief executive, the
Senatorial group of treaty irrecon-
ciliables tonight were claiming a
complete victory, predicting that
even the portions of the treaty en-
dorsed by Mr.. Harding never would
receive Senate approval.
In his recommendations for domes-
tic legislation the President gave
greatest attention to tariff and tax
revision and to the railroad situation,
though he endorsed a list of lesser
measures which Congressional lead
ers declared might prolong the spe-
cial session until the snow flies. He
also took occasion in his address of
nearly an hour to declare his faith in
maintained merchant marine and
in the principle of armament reduc-
ton without asking for legislation on
either subject.
An emergency tariff to correct
serious disorders in American indus
try was placed at the head of the
Presidents requests and within an
hour after he had finished speaking,
the House Ways and Means commit
tee agreed to report tomorrow the
emergency measure passed at the last
session and vetoed by Pres dent Will
son.
AS to. the permanent tariff to be
enacted later the President made no
specific recommendation He treat
ed in similar manner the question
of taxation.
Declaring that rates and operating
expenses of the railroads must be
lowered, Mr.. Harding asked that
Congress investigate the whole trans
portation problem. He recommend
ed coordination of all governmental
agencies dealing with former service
men, Strengthening of the Federal
laws effecting highway construction
n d maintenance; enactment of
budget legislation and Congression-
al inquiry into .lynching and race re-
lations in general

DOPE FROM THE Ell DORADO
FIELD

Ell DORADO, Ark, April IL
Late today bailing operations were
started in the Foster Barton Mack
No. in 5-18-15, so far no reports
have reached the city as to the out
come of the test. The Union Petro-
leum Company in 9-19-16 are test
ing the sand found in their well as
1,100 feet. This sand has been
found by several drillers but has
never been tested. If the test proves
successful it will mean a great thing
for the Ell Dorado field, even though
the wells found at this depth may be
small ones. Working crews are build
ing several loading racks on property
belonging to the Rock Island for sew
eral of the oil companies operating
here. The Standard Oil Company is
building a S0-car rack, the Gladys
Belle Company 40 cars, Caddo Cen
trail is, Sewell and Wilfred 80,
Shreveport Products and Refinery 80,
Jones Bros. and Tatum 10. These
racks will be completed as fast as
possible and will add greatly to the
output of oil from the Ell Dorado
field.

was cordially received by the Grenada
County Supervisors and every pos
sible assurance given that this coun-
ty would connect with the western
terminal of the Calhoun road just
this side of Big Creek 1t appears
that the Calhoun citizenship is a few
steps ahead of this county in the
matter of having its money already
in hand to build permanent roads.
The Calhoun delegation expressed a
very strong desire to get ready en-
trance into Grenada, which desire is
most cordially shared By Grenada
and Grenada County.

THE CHARLESTON WELL

Mr.. Carlos Combs, Manager of the
the Marlin Oil Co., who is undertake
ing the effort to continue the Charles
ton well down a possible 1000 feet
deeper, has returnd to Tulsa, Okla
homa, but expects to return ts
Charleston soon and, if possible
finish all necessary arrangements to
go on with the drilling. We are in
formed whether or not the drilling
will be resumed all depnds upon the
action of the land owners in relin-
gushing or waving rentals due on
their leased lands. A large number
have so far waived the rentals due
but it is understood that quite a mum.
Der have refused, and unless they
"come across" the drilling in al
probability will not be resumed.

THE coFFEEvILLE SITUATION

The citizens of Coffeeville and vi
entity and especially Hon. w. C..
Bryant are anxious to know whether
or not Coffeeville is to have test
well. Mr.. Bryant, to whom all
credit is due for the efforts made so
far, made contract with the Tuleco
Oil Co. to put down a test well. It
seems the oil company is moving with
snail-like slowness in its preparations
and after many months nothing
tangible has yet been done toward
putting down the we'll Mr.. Bryant
has very graciously extended the con-
tract time for the beginning of drill
ing on two occasions, and it seems
the drilling company so far has been
unable to "start something" We
hope our good friend Bryant will yet
be able to put enough pep in the drill
ing company to get the we'll going
down at least before his leases ex-
pire
