NEW RULES MADE
FOR SHOP CRAFTS

Chicago, Now 80 (By the Associat-
ed Press).-A decision recognizing
the "open shop" principle as applied
to the railroads and promulgating 14s
new working rules to govern the six
federated railroad shop crafts will be
handed down by the, United States
railway labor board tomorrow. The
decision, which supplants the national
agreements entered into by the EN-.
ployees with the United States rail
road administration, will form the
ground work on which the arjudica-
tion of al future wage disputes be
tween railroads and their EMPLOYEES
will be based.
The ruling opens the way for the
railroads to ask for lower wages for
the shop crafts employees, the labor
board having announced that it would
consider no further wage reductions
for any class of employees until work
ing rules for that class have been
disposed of.
The new rules will affect aproxi-
mately 100000 employees and become
effective Immediately. When normal
conditions are restored it is estimated
that fully 100000 men will be affected
and railroads will have an annual pay
roll saving of approximately $50,
900.
This decision, transcending in ba-
sic Importance the $40O.OOO, 900 ware
cut of last July, was unanimous, no
group of the labor board presenting a
dissenting Opinion

PRISONER IS NOT y
BROWNS SLAYER

Cleveland Thomas, alias "Buddie
Boy" was brought to Columbia late
last night by Sheriff Heise, Chief
Dunnaway and Deputy Davis from
Waynesboro, Ga, where the negro
was being held as a suspected muir
Nderer. The county officers said the ne
gro is not Jack Williams, but said
that, he became nervous when he was
confronted by the delegation from
Columbia. Sheriff Heise said Thomas
was in Jail wearing suit of clothes
bought from firm on the 100 block
of Washington street. City and coun-
vestigation before Thomas is released
according to Sheriff Heise.
Thomas was arrested at Batesburg
about two weeks ago and Waynesboro
officers took charge of the negro on
claim that he was wanted there on
charge of murder. While ip prison
the negro made a statement about
getting his freedom if he was not
connected with the killing of Police
man Kelly in Columbia. The remarks
resulted in county officers going to
Waynesboro to look at the prisoner.
Sheriff Heise said he learned that
Thomas had killed man in Laurens
county in 1905 and was given a life
term in the penitentiary. The negro
served four years and seven months
and was pardoned in 1910.
Thomas was examined by Georgia
officers who are searching for a ne
gro wanted on charge of murder and
thev failed to connect him with the
crime. Thomas is now to undergo a
searching investigation to determine
if he was connected with the murder
of Policeman Brown. Chief Strick-
land, Sheriff. Heise and city detectives
will begin this morning to probe the
killing of the policeman.
Sheriff HcHise, Chief Dunnaway
and Deputy Davis left Columbia yes
terday morning for Waynesboro and
they arrived there in four hours. A
short time afterwards Chief Strick-
land was notified by wide that the ne
gro under arrest was not Jack Will
liams, who is wanted in Columbia for
killing negress at College Place and
who is suspected of being the mur-
derer of Policeman Brown. The Off
GERS reached home last night and
Cleveland Thomas was placed in pris-
on. He will be, held until the officers
are satisfied that he was not impli-
Gated in the killing of the officer.
Thomas is about 35 years old.-The

NO EXPLANATION
OF HERO'S DEATH

Habana, Now 3O.-What compeil
ing motive sent Lieut.. Col. Charles w
pMhitttilesey' w commander of the "Lost
only few hours out from New York
last Saturday night may be revealed
in letters to members of his family
and business associates which he left
for Captain Grant Ct the steamer To-
loa to deliver. Nine of these letters
were in the captains possession when
the Toloa locked tonight. Captain
Grant also received a note from Col.
onel Whittlesey which he declared he
regarded as confidential.
Il can say, however, that from all
tateted," Captain Grant declared, and
that Colonel Whittlesey leaped over
board either just before or just after
midnight Saturday." ,,n
Various wireless messages were left
by Colonel Whittlesey for transmits
sion, but these were not forwarded,
and except in case of one of the mes
sages their nature was not disclosed.
This particular message said that he
would be missing.
None of the letters which Colonel
Whittlesey left on his berth were on
the writing paper of the. steamship
company, nor were any of them dated,
which led to the belief that they were
written before embarking on the
Toloa.
After experiencing heavy weather
nearly all the way from New York the
Toloa docked this evening nearly 10
hours late and it was only after two
hours of conferences with representa-
tives of the American and British
consuls and the acting first secretary
of the American legation, Cord Mey-
er, DR., that Captain Grant would give
out any statement.
II learned just before we sailed
last Saturday morning that Colonel
Whittlesey was aboard" said Captain
Grant, "but l did not see him until
dinner that night. He sat at my table
and appeared quite normal.
The first intimation / had that he
had disappeared was Monday morn
ing. 1t appears that he had struck
up an acquaintance with A. Maloret,
another passenger, and conversed with
him in the smoking room until 11:15
Saturday night, when he left sud-
denly, saying he would retire. He was
not seen afterward.
"On Sunday Mr.. Maloret inquired
for him, but thoguht he was ill as we
were meeting heavy weather. On
Monday morning it was found that his
berth was undisturbed, and nine
letters to members of his family, sew
eral wireless messages and a note TO
me were discovered on the berth. The
state room was then locked and the
papers were liyered to me.o~,

Niece o. Creek Indian Is
Literary Mind OF Race

An Indian princess, charming, re
fined, highly educated little lady, with
her talented assisting artists, is to
appear here on the evening Of Mon
day, December 5, at the High School
auditorium.
The Indian girl is Oyapela, which
means in the Greek jargon, Singing
Water" Oyapola is one of the lit
erary minds of her race. Her great
Indians, also her grandfather, who
headed the Oklahoma tribe for years.
1t was Oyapela's good fortune to re-
! ceive her education in American
schools, and she developed unusual
talent along musical and literary
lines.
Her program is entirely different
from anything heretofore offered in
Lyceum work. She has chosen for her
assistants, Miss Fannie Wienstock of
Milwaukee, very remarkable young
violinist of the middle-west, and Miss
Gene Burton, a distinguished young
pianist.
Oyapela translates in fascinating
style myths and legends of her peo-
pie and the audience gets them first
hand, just as Oyapela, herself, heard
them from her native tribesmen, when
the tribal historians related them
around the campfire. Oyapela COR
rects many of the common theories
concerning the Indian. Her story is
tremendously interesting for this very
reason. She is a talented, charming
little lady, who holds her audience
spellbound from the moment she APP
pears before them. Her program is
given in native costume, featured with
beautiful music by her two talented
assistants.
The crowd will be taken care of; the
partitions will be removed and the
crowd comfortably seated.

BURGLARS ROB
HOME in MULLINS

Mullins, Nov. 30.-The home O
Giles Roberts, 8 miles, north Of Null
ms, in the Temperance Hill section
was burglarized at 5 o'clock this
morning by two men. Members ot
the family were asleep when the en-.
trance was made, and it seems that
at least portion of the home haG
been ransacked before anyone was
awakened. After going through tive
rooms, turning everything upside
down, the men entered the rom OF
Mrs. Roberts daughter. She start.
ed to give alarm when one of the
party threw a pistol in her face
warning her that she would be killed
if she made an outcry. They asked
where the money was, and she point
ed to drawer across the room, and
on finding it locked, they demanded
the key. She told them where it was
and the man opened it an secured
three checks, one for $40, SAT and $75.
Then they forced her to tell where
the cash was that the aged couple
was known to have and this informa-
tion she also gave. The family saw
ings of $3.50 in cash, including one
$40 bill, was there. The checks were
drawn on a Columbia bank by G. M.
Roberts, and payable to G. S. Roberts.
One of the checks had already been
indorsed by Mr.. Roberts. In addi-
tion to money, a pistol of .38 ealibre
and other items were also taken.
There are only three members of
the family living at home, and while
all the talk and commotion was 60
ing on in Miss Roberts room, which
was next to that of her mother and
father, their suspicion was not arous-
ed. Though Mr.. Roberts says he
heard a voice in his daughters room
he thought nothing strange of it, as
his daughter frequently got UP at
night and then, too, it was nearly
daylight.
Deputy Sheriffs Furman Edwards
and Dave Rowell were sent for and
were soon on the scene, but no clue
had been secured. Everything possi-
BILE will be done to aprehend the
criminals. Furman Edwards was in
Mullins a few hours afterward and
stated that he expected to give his
best energies to the case, and that hn
would personally give a reward of $25
for proof to convict the parties.
Mr. and Mrs. Roberts are very old
and the shock was a severe one. Miss
Roberts is not in good health, and
when seen several hours later she was
very nervous and on the verge of a
collapse as the result Of the trying
ordeal through which she had passed.

Versailles, Nov. 80. (By the Asso-
ciated Press) Henri Landru, who
has been on trial for more than three
weeks in the assizes court here
charged with the murder of ten wo-
men and one boy, was found guilty
of murder in the first degree tonight.
Landru was sentenced to die by the

To all the 4S questions which the

question of the guilt, innocence or.
mental capacity of the prisoner there

tated murder. No extenuating cir
cumstances were included in this YER,
dict =
Landru had borne himself through
out the lengthy trial without showing
the slightest weakness and he heard
the sentence of death imposed upon
aim without emotion. 80
The jury required three. hours IN
cluding brief respite for dinner ito
prepare their replies to the 48 Sdles-
lions the court submitted, 'a
M. Moro Giafferi, counsel for the
License, In an eloquent plea finished
his summing up today, after which
Judge Gilbert read 48 questions to
The jury. The first of these was
whether Landru was guilty of murder
with generalization in the case Of
Nile. Cochet. Questions also were
out as to the mental condition of the
prisoner. - )
M. Moro -Giafferi in his address cast
loubt on all the evidence produced by
;he prosecution. He reminded the
ury that person could be proclaim :
ed legally dead only when they had
oeen missing 80 years. In support of
ais client he cited cases. of persons :
Who were missing having returned
Jears afterward when hope foT them
.lad been abandoned. He. also referSS
red to notable cases of alleged mis-
:alriage of justice based on circum-
stantial evidence.
"A white SLAYER, yes; an assassin,
aever," exclaimed M. Moro Giafferi,
pointing toward Landru. He added
hat the possession by the prisoner
