FAR EAST STILL HOLDING CENTER OF STAGE
$4,000 WHEATLEY BANK
STOCK Fl FAS. .ENJOINED
Judge Littlejohn Stops Sheriff and Bank Superin-
tendeht Appeal May Settle Validity OF
Present Banking Act

A test of the constitutionality of
the Georgia banking act of August
l6, 1919, is expected as the next
step in the efforts OF the state bank
ing department TO recover from the
estate Of the late Crawford Wheatley
under fl fas OF assessments against
the STOCK in the Commercial City
Bank, now in process of liquidation,
held by Mr.. Wheatley at the time of
his death, following the handing
down of a decision late Saturday by
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn, of the Sum
ter Superior Court, restraining the
sheriff of Sumter county and state
superintendent of banks from pro-
ceeding with the fl fas as already
levied.
The order of Judge Iittlejohn did
not set out on what grounds the in
junction was granted, but one of the
grounds alleged by the administrators
in the application for the restraining
order was the unconstitutionality of
the act, it being contended that it
was retroactive. The other chief
ground set up was that under the
law the executor of an estate has 2
months to adjust the affairs of an
estate before a process can issue
against the setate, and that these
fl fas were issued within the IL
months under the banking law which
provides that they saay- be issued af-
ter 80 days against the stockholder.
1t was contended that this law must
be strictly applied, and that Mr..
Wheatley personally was the stock
holder and as he is dead, the fl ia
was not to be issued against him
personally, and, therefore, could not
be issued against any one urder the
law Which of these contentious was
sustained, or whether both were up
held, was not stated by the court.
After the decision was announced,
Wallis and Fort, attorneys for the
creditors of the bank and the state
banking department, stated that III
all probability the decision would be
appealed. Orders from T. r. Ben
nett, the banking superintendent, To
take this action, are awaited. The
attorneys for the estate were w. A.
Dodson and ]. E Sheppard.
On October 6, Sheriff Harvey,
acting under two fl fas issued by
State Banking Superintendent Ben
nett, one for $4,000, dated April "a,
1921, and the other for $26, 100, dat
ed August 16, 1921, levied on a
large amount of real estate in the
city of Americus owned by the late
Crawford Wheatley, which had been
decided shortly prior to his death to
members of his family. This consis.

CRISIS REACHED
IN ARMS CONFERENCE.
By WIN. PHILIP SIMMS.

WASHINGTON, NOV. %. ~ The
next few days wfil definitely deter
mine the success or failure of the
arms conference, say members of the
Chinese delegation.
In committee the Japanese are
making stubborn fight to prevent
the eonferees going too far into the
details Of Far Eastern intrigue. They
do not want secret loans, concealed
military agreements, the "21 de-
mands, Manchuria or Shantung too
deeply probed
The Chinese on the other hand,
are just as determined in their eff
forts to force showdown and throw
the war-breeding conspiracies into
the open.
IF we are going to stop at the
expression Of generalities," an infln-
ential member of the Chinese dele
cation told me, "the conference viii
be failure and will ultimately 20
down IN history as one of the great.
est tragedies of all time.
Solve Basic Wrongs.
The Far Eastern question cannot
be definitely settled unless we rectify
fundamental wrongs. ant <le quea-
ton must be settled if we are to. have
lasting peace in the Pacific"
The Chinese do not intend to stop
with the mere presentation of "ten
points" Upto now they have played
a waiting game. Henceforward they
will fight for what they feel they
must have.
They will bring up the "2l de-
mands," Shantung and other spe-
cific grievances, and ask for iudg.
ment at the hands of the conference.
Furthermore, they will press for
more than expressions of sympathy,
promises faid and pledges to re.
speet China's sovereignty. They have
had all these things beforehand they
meant nothing.
They will seek real guarantees.
When Tokyo last broacked the
subject of Shantung, China inforr>,d
the japanese that she reserved the
right to "seek a solution of the
question whenever a suitable occa-
sion presented itself"
Settle Shantung Now.
She not only believes the Suitable
occasion" has arrived, but is con-
vlneed that unI2ss she profits by it.
1t may never come again.
The question of the '21 Demands
Chinese hold, involves both their
sovereignty and their national honor.
Shantung involves the status 81
foreign concessions in China, their
present, their future and the right of
transfer of such rights; in short
whether China belongs to China or Is
to be farmed out, bartered peacemeal
on bodily lifted by any victorious
power at war with another power.
The battle IS on between China and.
Japan.

GERMAN PAPER WALLS
AT CONFERENCE NEGLECT.

BERLIN, Nov. 28 (By Associated
Press) Europe is being treated as
a neghble quantity at the Washing
ton conference, in the opinion of the
Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung, the or
gan Of Hugo SHINES, leading Ger
man fnancier. 1t sees evidence in
the circumstance that curtailment of
naval ornaments have been given
primary consideration and that the
issue of land armamente is not caus-
ing the conference apprehension.
This attitude of the conferees, says
the newspaper, "gives France an in
definite franchise to continue her de-
vastation of the European mainland"

JUDGE PRAISES
LACK OF crime
ms. W. GEORGIA
Grand Jury Gets Down To Busi-

Foreman

With only minor offenses for the
most part believed awaiting its con-
sideration, the Sumter county grand
jury got down to work about 10
o'clock this morning, with George w.
Riley as foreman and Solicitor julie
FELTON, in charge Of Investigations.
Judge Littlejohn, in his charge to
the grand jury, was briefer than
usual, and confined himself for the
most part to calling the attention of
that body to certain matters as re-
quired by law He took occasion to
remark upon the lack of conspicu-
Gus crime in this section Of Georgia
when he said:
II want to congratulate you gem
tlemen on the fact that while we read
in the press of crime waves, and
while there has been a great deal of
crime in other sections, and even IN
other parts of Georgia, for the past
IL months there has not been single
crime in the Southwestern Circuit,
with one exception, sufficient to at
tract attention in the neighboring
counties. Just before the last term
in this county there was crime on
what is known as lanyard hill that
attracted some notoriety, but that is
the only one.'
Judge Iittlejohn stated that the
prohibition laws were being enforc-
ed, despite appearances, as we'll as
any law we have to which there is
any considerable opposition and
which can be violated so easily.

RAILROADS PLAN WAGE CUTS
Nearly 100 Lines Ready to Begin Drive
 For Reductions.

Chicago, April 17.-Railway man. agements of nearly 100 lines were pre- pared tonight to launch their first big drive tomorrow for reduction of wages.
 A consolidated hearing at which dis putes will be presented from every section of the country will begin to- morrow before the United States Railway Labor Board. All the roads ask a reduction for unskilled labor, and several ask blanket reductions for all employees.
 The question of the :egality of the board conducting the hearing with three vacancies and only six members present, may be brought up at the opening of the session. The nomina- tions for the three vacancies were sent to the Senate for confirmation by President Harding Saturday, but some of the parties to the present dispute are understood to be seeking delay until the new members actually are present.
 By recent ruling of the board all wage disputes presented for decision up to date, will be included in the hearing. Sixty roads had been dock eted yesterday, and at least half of that number remained on hand to be added tomorrow morning.
 Are Individual Cases.
 According to railway officials, each carrier is expected to present it's own testimony in connection with it's re- quest for wage cuts. Representatives of the roads will appear first. The board recently announced that eight hours would be allowed each side for oral testimony and argument. It is expected, however, that this time lim- it will be extended if circumstances warrant.
