Gov. Cooper Investigates Lax Treat

Spartanburg, S. C., June 23.-- Gov. Cooper has ordered an official investigation of complaints that certain convicts on the chain gangs of this county have been given preferential treatment and have been allowed too many privileges.
 It is alleged that one of the con- victs. serving 12year sentence for murder, is allowed practically full liberty and spends the week ends with his family in the city while another has been permitted to take trips out of the state and that still others arc not conviets in the sense of the law but are allowed to spend their nights at their homes and frequent places of amusement and conduct themselves as ordinary citizens. The governor in a public statement says he stands for humane treatment of convicts, but that such laxity as is alleged will not he tolerated,

 Federal Constitution.

Washington, Jane 23 23-Announce- ment was made officially last night at the first meeting of the of the reorganized Womans National party that resolution soon will be intro duced in both houses of congress embodying a goth amendment to the federal constitution. The amend ment will be designed to do away with "all legal discrimination against women," according to Miss Maud Younger, newly appointed legisia- tive chairman of the party.
 As tentatively drawn the amend ment reads:
 Equal rights with men shall not be denied to women or abridged on account of sex or marriage by the United States or by any state or territory subject to the jurisdic- tion Of the United States. .
 At the same time. Miss Younger said, plans will be laid to put before the AS state legislatures an identic bill designed to prevent through state enactment the same discrimination.

UNLAWFUL. Tl) GIVE
 FISHES ASTIMULANT

Little Rock, June 23.-We gotta get substitute for the phrase "to drink like fish A fish can't drink any more. That is, he can't drink anything but water, in which case the phrase, if anybody wanted to use it, would apply still.
 Section A of the Arkansas game and fish laws would indicate that the Volstead law and it's jolly little forerunner, the Arkansas bone dry law, have direct application to all the little fishes that swim the streams
 Section A says nothing less than the following, to-wit:
 1t shall be unlawful for any per son to deposit, throw, drop or dis charge in any manner in any of the waters of this state, any substance, liquid or gas, or anything else that twill or does intoXicate or stupefy, or in any manner injure any fish therein, whether done for the pur- pose of catching or taking fish or mot: and any person violating this |section of this act shall be deemed guilty of felony, and, upon con viction, shall be confined in the state penitentiary for a term of not less than one month, nor more than 12 months"
 It more or less casts the burden |of proof on the law to show that whatever was cast into the stream is intoxicating, but current report has it that some of the various corn derivatives now on the market are not materially impaired by being di- luted with a casual river or so.
 Attorney General Utley recently looked the matter up for John w. Allen, secretary of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. MT Allen was interested in whether the law barred the alleged sport of shooting fish, and if so. how MT. 'Utley gave as his official opinion that shooting fish is legal A rifle bullet discharged into the water in the general vicinity of fish is very likely to have the stupefying Ieffect objected to in Section 33, and Mr. Utley is of the opinion that the "any substance, liquid or gas or else" will include bullets fired from rifles
 MT. Utley did not comment on ithe legal effect of pickling the herrings in their native habitant, but the law speaks for itself and the law says from one month to 12 months for such pickling or at tempted pickling. It is believed that in some sections of the state more caution will be used in spTt ting in the creek.

TO WAGE WAR TO
 FINISH IN IRELAND

London, June 23--It now prom ises to be war to the finish between England and Ireland Every avnil- able soldier England can spare is being sent to Ireland Martial law is probable.
 This situation was made clear in a pronouncement by Worthlhgtoh
 Evans, secretary of war. late Tues day night in the House of Commons during the debate on the Irish lues- tion.
 The suggestion was made that of ficers in Ireland should not go out
 unarmcd or without escort, and that they be prohibited from taking part in games. Mir. Evans said this means practically confining them to
 quarters He had been asked to lsend more troops to Ireland.
 We are sending more troops. MT Evans replied. Extra battal- ions went last week and more bat Italions are going as quickly as they can It is necessary to support the troops in Ireland who are doing duties which must often be distaste- full to them, with the full weight of
 England Therefore, all troops avail able shall be sent to their support MT. Evans said he had been urged to extend martial law to Ireland.
 He could not discuss that last night, but added;
 q can tell the House that it is one of the matters considered now and, If if is necessary, we purpose to giving proper support to the troops It is the intention of the govern
 ment to do everything in it's power to protect the soldiers in Ireland. The principle course is to increase the number of troops, and If neces- sary to extend the area of the mar tial law.
 Hopes that the kings visit to Bel Hast would be made the occasion for Ia government enunciation of more liberal policy toward the Sim Fein in Ireland were shattered by defeat in the House of Lords last night of
 Lord Donoughmore's motion to grant Ireland fiscal autonomy.
 Defeat was by a small majority las the governments rejection was secured by 66 to 57 votes.
 The lord chancellor in a speech also seemed to disprove stories of . division in the cabinet on the Irish policy.
 Lord Birkenhead's 8 speech left no doubt in the minds of his hearers that unless settlement is reached, and unless the Southern Parliament functions, there will be a military domination campaign of the char acter similar to that employed in South Africa against the Boers. For the first time British statesman, speaking in behalf of the British government, admitted there is war in Ireland and furthermore that the British military had failed

ARMY AVIATORS LOSE LIVES IN AIR CRASH.

Washington, June 23.-Two of the leading flyers of the army air service, Capt. Howard T. Douglas and Lieut.. Marl J. Plumb, were drowned in Chesapeake Bay yester- day after a collision of their planes
 in the course of d bombing raid directed at the hulk of the old bat tleship San Marcos off Tangier Island
 Reports received by the War De- partment from Langley Field, Va, said the accident was one of the most peculiar on record, Lieut. Plumb, flying a fast single-seat Capt Douglas, in another plane, was observing the raid from above Plumbs plane had just dropped a bomb and was climbing upward, as is the custom after releasing the weapon, when it struck Capt. Doug las machine, cutting off it's tail
 Both planes fell into the bay and disappeared together with their pi- iotS, " IOFoc DcuiCS iIctu liot DCCl ICN covered last night, although search had been made by a number of army and navy craft ordered to the scene after the accident.
 Langley Field officials reported that soon after the planes fell an other of the bombing planes drop ped q bomb containing 300 pounds of T. N. T. and that it fell near where the machines went down. It was evident, it was said. that the pilot of this machine, one of the many participating in the attack on the San Marcos, had not seen the planes fall The terrific explo- sion of this bomb, aviation officers said, probably would make more diff ficult the recovery of the bodies of the officers or the planes.
 Capt. Douglas, whose home was in CoVina, Cal, was one of the best known of army fliers. He was at tachcd to air service headquarters here and went by rail ahead of the army aviators on their recent flight to Alaska to select landing fields and make all arrangements for them.
 Lieut.. Plumb, whose home was in Fon du Lac, Wis, was recognized officers here said as one of the ar mys most expert fliers. When or dercd to Langley Field to participate in the joint army and navy bombing tests he flew from San Antonio in Ia big Caproi machine.
 Riddled by shell from American dcstroyers, two more of the former German submarines turned over to the United States for experimental purposes have found resting place on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean They were sunk yesterday 60 miles off Cape Charles lightship, near where on Tuesday naval aviators bombed and sank the first of the |submersibles ill the opening phase of the joint army and navy bomb ing tests.
 Two destroyers, the Dickerson and the SicaTd, accounted for the two rboats yesterday, the Dickerson sending the U-140 down with 19 hits out of 39 shots, and the Sicard sinking the U-4S with 20 hits in twice as many shots. The range was from 2.00O and 5000 yards.
