UNION MAN
ON THE JOB

Vigilance and a keen sense of hear
ing on the part of J. C. Norman, a
guard at the state penitentiary,
brought to naught the efforts of two
white men to escape from the con-
fires of the prison Tuesday night
about midnight, and yesterday the
men were safe in their cells after
their attempt to make a getaway.
The guard while on his rounds heard
an unusual noise and on investigation
it was found that one set of bars to
the cells had been forced loose, a wise
from the chair factory having been
used as lever. The outer bars of
the cell had not been attacked when
the guard heard the noise. The men
york in the chair factory at the state
prison during the day and in some
way had smuggled into their cells a
wise used in the factory. This device
was used in forcing together the inner
bars of the cell.
One of the men was Wade II. Ballew
of Pickens, who was sent to the peni-
tentiary last June with a six year sen
tence for manslaughter. The other
was Overill Warmack Of Williamsburg
county, sent up to serve three years
for grand larceny.-The State.

yesterday appointed member of the

ecutive session was held during the
night. The executive session will

Miss Fanny Duncan
Carried to Eye Specialist

It was found necessary to carry
Miss Fannie Duncan to an eye special
ist in Greenville day or two ago.
Miss Duncan was bruised and cut
about the face, in the automobile ac-
cident Sunday evening, when the car
in which party of young people were
riding turned turtle just above Union.
Miss Duncan was more severely hurt
than was any other occupant of the
car, sustaining several cuts in the face
and one in the eye. 1t was feared that
the hurt to the eye would permanently
injure it, but the specialist, upon thor
ough examination, found there would
be no permanent injury. This will be
good news to the many friends of this
popular and attractive young lady.
She Is the daughter of Senator Thos.
C. Duncan and holds warm place in
the hearts of all.

EFFORT BY LEWIS
TO JOIN UNIONS

Indianapolis, Feb. Renewal OF
efforts to form an alliance Of coal
miners and railroad workers, the two
largest labor groups in the United
States, was sought today by John l.
Lewis, president of the United Mine
Workers of America, for the avowed
purpose of bringing 1000, 900 work
ers together Gin resistance to pro
posed attacks on wage scales"
In letters sent to officers of 16 rail-
road unions, Mr.. Lewis invited the
railroad men to confer with the min
ers' officials cat the earliest possible
date" Besides the invitation, Mr..
Lewis issued formal statement as
serting that the railroad men were
facing efforts "to enforce further un-
warranted wage cuts on them" and
that Certain interests are seeking
wage reductions in the coal indus
try"
"In order to cope with this situa-
tion and to successfully combat this
frenzied hysteria," the statement
added, "the mine workers are willing
to pol their interests with the rail
road organizations and stand with
them in resistance to the prposed at
tacks on wage scales"
At least 100000 workers would
be joined together by the alliance,
Mr.. Lewis said. He placed the mem
bership of the railroad unions at
] 800, 900 to 1.75O.OOO.

ARBUCKLE CASE
GOES TO JURY

San Francisco, Feb. 1.-The case
of Roscoe c. Arbuckle, accused of
manslaughter in connection with the
death of Miss Virginia Rappe, went
to the jury at 3:42 p. NJ. today after
trial covering three weeks. 1t was
his second trial on the charge, the
first having resulted in jury dis
agreement.
Mrs. Estelle Raumeister, one of the
two alternate jurors who were ex-
cused when the jury retired, said that
in her opinion Arbuckle is not guilty.
Henry Gutenberg, the other alternate,
declined to express an opinion, al
though he congratulated the defense
on its showing.
The defense sprung surprise by
announcing it would submit the case
to the jury without arguments. This
action so accelerated the case that
the jury was able to begin dcliberat-
ing day earlier than had been antic-
ipated.
The announcement came at the end
of the first argument of the prosecu-
ton made by Milton T. U'Ren, as.
sistant district attorney. II had the
effect of shutting off further argu-
ment by he prosecution as under the
lay such further argument could
only be a rebuttal of the final defense
summing up.
Arbuckle, jovial and apparently
care free most of the day, was Wis
IDLY nervous when the jury retired.
A throng was drawn TO the court
room for the final arguments and the
police guard had its hands full for
the first time since the trial opened.
Today's session saw the conclusion
of the prosecutions rebuttal testi-
mony. Three minor witnesses testi.
fed. The defense announced it would
make no sur-rebuttal and U'Ren then
began the sole closing argument. He
attacked in detail the testimony given
by Arbuckle in the first trial of the
case, holding that no proper explana-
tion had been given as to what trans.
pired in Arbuckle's room in the Hote
st. Francis when the comedian is
supposed to have fatally attacked
Miss Rappe.
There was q moment of excite.
sllert p liysleS s.eSors Is a'c,nck wher
the jury came back to the court room
not, however, to deliver the verdict
as many suspected, but to have some
of the testimony read to it again.

OPP OSE. ION TO
WATER, POWER TAX

Representatives of many cotton
mills and hydro-electric plants in
South Carolina appeared before the
senate finance committee at an open
hearing yesterday afternoon in oppo-
sition to the hydro electric water pow
er tax.
A number of speakers were against
the bill in principle, claiming that il
would restrain the development of in
dustries in the state and work hard
ship on South Carolina. A majority
Of the speakers were representatives
of cotton mills, who bought power
rather than developed It.
The bill has already passed the
house and is to be reported out By
the senate finance committee within
day or two. It provides for one.
third of a mill tax or every kilowatt
hour produced from water in South
Carolina. This tax, although seeming
small, will mean burden to some OF
the plants, it was declared. Practical.
ly all those appearing characterized
the tax as wrong in principle.

the first speaker and he led in the
after discussions before the finance
committee. Among the other speak.

JAPANESE PRINCE
CLAIMED BY DEATH

London, Feb. Field Marshal
Prince Yamagata, one of the few re-
naming of Japan's "genro," or elder
statesmen, died at his home in Oda-
wara today, says an Exchange Tele-
graph dispatch from Tokyo. He was
in his Saith year.
Field Marshal Prince Aritomo
Yamagata was one of the most fa-
nous soldiers and statesmen in Jap
an. He was one Of the last of the
genro, the group Of elder statesmen
who have been the personal advisers
Of the throne and he welded special
power because 1t was he who built
up and became supreme head of the
Japanese army as it is known today.
He was frequently called the Jap
anese Moltke.
Prince Yamagata was born April
20, 1888, the son of samurai of
Choshu, and he became one of the
ablest captains Of the Choshu clan in
resisting the invasion of the Shotgun
ate army in 1866. He threw himself
heart and soul into the great move
ment for the overthrow of the Sho-
gunate which had eclipsed the power
of the Mikado for so many years, and
when the latter was restored to the
throne, Yamagata rose rapidly
through imperial favor and his re-
markable ability as a leader.
Following a mission to Europe for
the purpose of studying the French
and German military systems, he was
appointed vice minister of war and
in that capacity succeeded in having
the Prussian system of conscription,
with certain notifications, adopted in
Japan. Another of his incidental
achievements was the abolition of the
sword-wearing habit of the samurai
classes. It was difficult task and a
dangerous one to combat that tradi-
tion, but he succeeded in getting an
imperial edict of abolition, and was
forceful enough to have it obeyed.
Shortly afterward, however, the edict
was 4withdrawn1a 1apd another substi-
tntsd by whic kse privilege of wear
