CEILING FALLS AT CAPITOL.

Washington, Oct 21.-A sudden fall of plaster and glass in the Pres ident's room at the Capitol yesterday startled members of the Senate in the chamber nearby engaged in discus sion of the tax bill. A large section of plaster from the ceiling immedi- ately above the great cut glass chan delier dropped, shattering many of the glass globes.
 Senators Pomerene, of Ohio, and Swanson, of Virginia, were in the room and close to the falling plaster, but neither was injured.
 It was remarked that had Presi- dent Harding bean in the room at the time he undoubtedly would have been hit, as the falling plaster and glass struck the place where the President hits when he signs bills.

Washington. Oct, 21-The problem Of the Pacific, it is universally hoped. will find its solution at the Round ~aoio of the Nations, about which will be gathered statesmen from nine nations, seven of which have possessions in the Pacific seas.
 Before entering into a commentary upon the probable solution, it may be we'll to determine first what the problem is. Due to the complexities ~ntering into a consideration of what pear that the Disarmament Confer ence has before it task of porten- tous scope in the efforts it will be in cumbent upon it to make to determine the exact nature of the problem they will have met to solve.
 Two titanic agencies are at work in the Orient, and until such time as they become relatively quiescent, DO Asiatic Continent and the Islands or the Pacific will be subject to change without notice"
 Japan and Russia.
 One of these agencies is the dis ruptiVe force in peasant Russia, now felt not only in Siberia, in Russian Turl1estan and in the Transcaucasus, but also in Persia. The other is Ja- pan, whose dominating desire, based on the necessity for territorial expan- sion, has resulted in a penetration Of China and Eastern Siberia and the islands of the Pacific north of the Equator.
 The estimated area of the Pacific Ocean is 67,S1O,00O square miles and is studded with islands, the majority of which are in such proximity that they form groups or archipelagoes. Each archipelago belongs to some for eign power. But within the rough outline of almost all these archipela- goes there are certain islands which do not belong to the nation controll- ing the archipelago of which the foreign member is, geographically speaking a part. These foreign members of archipelagoes naturally. therefore, have become "sore spots. The Island of Yap is one of these. Samoa is another. It so happens that often these very foreign members" are the most important of the entire group-commercially and from a na- val and military standpoint.
 Archipelagic Treasures
 Just what are thees archipelagic treasures?
 There are the Continental Islands, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the Malay Archipelago, the Philippine Archipelago and New Caledonia, Bor- nea might possibly be placed in this class.
 The most northern oceanic group is the Hawaiian Archipelago, or Sand wich misunderstanding of eight large islands - the property of the United States.

 STURDY CRAFT

Seattle, Wash, Oct. 21.-The staunch little exploring ship Maud, in which Captain Roald Amundsen made the northeast passage from Norway to Cape Serdze, Siberia. has been moored temporarily in the fresh wa ters of Lake Union here. The Maud was lowed from Puget Sound through the government canal to Lake Union after she had been oVerhau1ed in dry dock where a lost propeller was re- placed.
 The sturdy craft will remain in the landlocked haven, ridding herself of barnacleS, until early next spring. when Captain Admundsen expects to renew his attempt to drift past the North Pole with the Arctic ice f1oes interrupted last year by the loss of the Maud's propeller.
 In the meantime Captain Amund- sen has announced he will make a brief visit to Norway, his home.

IMPORTANT
CASES BEFORE
SUPREME COURT
Fall Term Of State Su-
pre- ne Court Will
Herr Number Of
Unusual Appeals

Columbia, Oct. 4.-Tuesday of
next week the South Carolina Su-
preme Court starts its fall term,
and a number cF important cases
will be heard. The court will be
in session far into November.
One OF the unusual legal situa-
tions to face the court will be that
embracing the two Sandel cases,
one being appealed by the state,
the defense, and the other appealed
by the plaintiff. ]. O'Neal Sandel,
Of Calhoun county, sued the state
in two cases, for $4,000 each, for
the death of his two daughters,
which he alleged was due to the
use of ryphoid serum furnished by
the staSa board Of health. In one
case Saadel won verdict Of s25,-
ESQ. II the other the state won.
Both are on appeal
Another interesting case on ap-
peal is that Of Carlos Corbett, Or
angebucg county man who was
charged with murder. Corbett was
ACQUITTED Of the charge of murder
ing Bryan Salley, for which he was
tried in September 1920. He now
alleges. that on the ground of form
er jeopardy, he cannot be tried for
the murder of Julian Cooper and
Hugh Tanning, both Of whom he
killed at the same time he killed
Bryan Salley, in March, 1920. Cor
bett alleges that the three men
were killed in one and the same act,
all constituting me offense, and
that he cannot be charged with
three separate murders. The case
will be heard by an en- banc session
OF the court next Monday. the next
before the regular term starts. ALI
Of the circuit judges will sit with
the supreme count on this case.
Still another interesting case on
appeal is that of the state against
the Palmetto National Bank. Of
Columbia. involving the charge by
the bank against the state Of the
amount of two checks, On which
the bank failed to realize because
of the liquidation Of bank at
Greenwood.
Still another appeal to be heard
by the court is th4.t Of Edmund D.
Bigh& n, now IN the death house OF
the penitentiary charged with hav-
ing murdered his brother, and also
charged with the murder Of his
mother, his sister and his sisters S
two adopted children.
The appeal of ]. E. Harris, CO.
lumbia dentist, from the decision OF
the s2wer. court, which sustained
the s<ate board OF dental examin-
ers IL their action in disbarring DR..
Harris, will be heard at the fall
term of the court.
1t is probable tat the appeals Of
S. J. Kirby and = .sse Gappins, two
of the trio found guilty of the muir
der Of William Brazell, Columb mbia
taxi driver, Will also come before
the court at this term.

Michigan
Prison Burned
State Reformatory at Ionia
Wiped Out by Fire

Iona, Mich, Oct. 5.-Michigan
national guardsmen and members
of the state constabulary this even
ing were patrolling the outer wall
of the Michigan state reforma-
tory here, where fire today destroy
e dali cell blocks, the administra-
ton Offices, the chapel and war
den's office. During the fire that
caused g. loss roughly estimated at
S5GO,000, at least three prisoners es-
capped from the institution. The
fire still was burning tonight among
the twisted iron work Of the cell
block and the heap of charred
bricks that marked the site Of the
Office and other buildings. Only the
factory buildings Of the reforma-
tory escaped the blaze, being saved
by the direction Of the wind.
The fire started at Il O'Clock
this morning from a smoldering
lamp in hands Of an inmate, who
was repairing the roof Of the ad-
ministra+ion building. It swept
through that part of the reforma-
tory practically unhindered due to
an inadequate water supply.
Gov. Alex Grosbeck, Roy c. Van
dercook, head of the state depart
ment Of public safety, and War
den Thomas C. Burns were in con-
sultation here tonight to map out
plants for rebuilding the burned
structures and for caring for the
inmates.
The $50 inmates Of the reforma-
tory were to sleep in the factory
building tonight.
Fearing possible outbreak
among the inmates. state troops
late today placed machine guns at
every corner OF the prison wall and
other troops, each armed with a
rife patrolled the mile long wall.
The escapes today were made
when group of inmates were tax
en- from inside the wall to help
fight the flames. AS the roof OF the
administration fell, amid a shower
of sparks over the fire fighters
four of the inmates made a dash
for freedom. Three of the number
made their way to safety.
Posses tonight were searching
the countryside for the three men
who escaped It is believed a larg-
er number might have gained their
freedom.
State officers are investigating re-
ports that an automobile loaded
with men wearing the prison gray
swept out of the city while the fire
was at it's height.
Early reports that one inmate
burned to death in the fire were
discounted. Reformatory officials
were making a check Of the in
mates tonight.
