SUPREME COURT CASES
Hamp Williams Must Serve Sentence
Of Court.

Hamp Williams Must Serve sentence
Of Court.
Hamp Williams, who was tried in
Abbeville county and convicted OF
manslaughter, must serve his sem
tence, according to an opinion hand
ed down by the Supreme Court We'd
nesday in which the verdict of the
circuit court was affirmed. Williams
shot man July 26, 1920 and the man
was carried to the Anderson county
hospital where he appeared to re-
cover and was then discharged. He
returned to Donalds and later, con-
tracted pneumonia, dying September
12, 1920. Whether or not the wounds
inflicted by Williams caused his death
was the main question before the
lower court. The presiding judge re-
fused a motion for a directed verdict
in behalf of the defendant and an
appeal was taken.
Joseph Johnson, who was convicted
of larceny in Abbeville, was ordered
freed by the court in an opinion in
bio cass. johnson was alleged to have
stolen hog, but no evidence of any
consequence was presented against
him and counsel moved for direct
ed verdict of not guilty. This was de-
MED by the presiding judge and an
appeal was taken. The supreme court
said the verdict of not guilty should
have been directed and ordered the
case back to Abbeville for a directed
verdict in behalf of. the defendant.

Martial Law Order Held Up
Pending Armistice Outcome

Execution of the Presidents proc
lamation placing the troubled mine
regions of West Virginia and Ken
lucky under martial law was held
up yesterday by Secretary Nof War
Weeks upon the receipt OF reports
that the disturbances were subsid-
ing.
The reports declared that the
mountain warfare which has been
raging for several days between
the striking coal miners and strike
breakers in the Mingo district had
virtually ceased and that the local
and State authorities had the sit
uation we'll in hand.
Despite these reassuring advices.
however, Gen. Peyton c. March.
Chief of Staff. was prepared to put
the Presidents proclamation into
immediate effect and rush Federal
troops to the scene should fresh
outbreaks occur.
1t was learned authoritatively that
the disorders in the strike districts
are to be made the subject Of a
thorough inquiry by the Senate. A
resolution having this purpose will
be introduced IN the Senate by SEN
Iator johnson. of California. and 1t
is expected that the investigation
will be authorized at once.

LANSING'S HISTORY
FACTOR in ITALY
Orlando Flags Former Presi.
dent Wilson in Pre-elec-
tion Speeches.

ROME. May 15.-Political events
in America, and as climax Robert
Lansing's disclosures concerning the
creation of the versailles treaty and
the part played by Woodrow WILSON
at Paris, have become one OF the
biggest factors in the Italian cleo
tions, and probably will result in
overturning the government.
Former Premier Orlando. opening
his campaign with a vitriolic at
tack on Premier Giolitti, has cap
itallzed Lansing's history OF the
peace parleys so successfully that
his return to power is believed al
most a certainty.
Orlando numerically fiays the
former American President in his
speeches, declaring that Wilson
robbed Italy of the fruits of her
victory.
ITALY alone courageously opposed
woodrow Wilson's seemingly om-
nipotent domination at Paris" Or

speech. Events demonstrate that
he did not represent the people of

SAY DORSEY MUST
WIN In GEORGIA
WITHOUT SUPPORT
State Heads Call Charges
Of Governor SLAM
derOus.

ATLANTA, Ca. May 15.-If Gov
ernor Dorsey wins his fight for bet
ter treatment Of negroes in Georgia
he must do it almost single-handSd.
He has the moral support of minis
ters. teachers and women's clubs.
but has brought down upon himself
an avalanche of criticism and abuse
from other State officials and pub
lie men.
Saturday Governor-elect Thomas
W. Hardwich and Sam L. Olive.
president of the Georgia Senate. and
by reason of that position--second
in authority to the governor, both
denounced the governor for yiliifica- :
ton of Georgia and for sianderous
charges without basis Of fact. The
criticism was brought on by pus-
LEGATION of a report prepared by
the governor in which he listed 135
cases Of allesed mistreatment. muir
der. lynching, and peonage, with ne
groes as the victims. He declared
Georgia would be as severely con-
demned. IL this condition continued.
as Belgium and Leopold were con-
deHneu Dy pOu anu IldH lOr lue
Congo atrocities.
Senator Denies Statements.
President Olive. in bitter lam
guage, denied the existence of con-
ditions as described by the COVER
nor; declared that the only way TO
stop lynchings was to stop rape and
murder: declared that peonage did
not exist generally. but said the
Southern farmers were compelled
to make their negro farm hands
work out on labor contracts.
He said that further agitation of
the public over the race problem
might bring serious results, and de-
clared that Governor Dorsey's state
ments had already cost Georgia
farmers thousands of dollars be-
cause of the stirring up OF discus
sion among negroes.

WAR DEPARTMENT
STICKS TO COURSE
IN LISTING EVADERS
Officials Say Action Best
Method of Getting
Corrections.

There appears to be no prospect
that criticisms in newspapers and
elsewhere will cause the War De-
partment to change its policy OF
publishing lists of alleged draft
deserters, which have been found
full of errors, stamping some men
who served honorably in the world
war as unpatriotic shirkers.
Department officials take the po-
sition that in publishing the lists
the department Is giving every man
with honorable war service a chance
to clear his record. II there were
no publication. they say, man with
honorable service but carried on the
records as a draft deserter might
have no means of knowing he was
So cIassed AS a result. 1t Is claim
ed. his children or grandchildren
might fnd in after years that he
was regarded by the government as
a deserter. and it might then be too
late to produce proof that hs had
served in the war.
Mai. Gen. Peter c. Harris, adju-
tant general of the army, who is
custodian of the draft lists. took
issue yesterday with Mai. W. q.
Murdock, who was the director of
the draft in the State of Pennsyi-
vania, over the latter's criticism of
the War Department for its course
in publishing the lists. Maj. Muir
docks main criticism was that the
War DeDa rt ment had mada No ef-
fort to check up its list of alleged
deserters by personal investigation.
The deserters' lists, said Maj. MUIR
dock. had been compiled from the
draft board records. but had not
been sent back for rechecking.
Gen. Harris does not wholly agree
with this statement, although he
says Mai. Murdoch was correct in
saying the War Department did not
make outside inquiries in each case
That was impossible" he said,
with about 100000 listed as de-
serters on the original lists"
