FIVE KILLED N
SERIOUS CLASHES
ATTACK CATHOLICS
IN STATE OF JALISCO-cARS
STOPPED AND OCCUPANTS
WERE FORCED TO ALIGHT
AND SALUTE RADICAL FLAGS

Mexico City, March 28.-Fve per-
sons were killed and II seriously
wounded in clashes at Guadalajara,

radicals and Catholic groups, accord
ing to the best available information
here. ,..... (
The radicals are reported to have
attacked pedestrians and motorists in
discriminatory, the climax being
reached when they met group of
Catholic workmen who had attended
a labor meeting. The worlmen were
insulted and attacked, and when
they took refuge in nearby building
the structure was fired upon by the
radicals. The body of one victim
was found in the church. .
The radicals began their demon
stration shortly after noon when the
usual Sunday procession Of automo-
biles was in progress around the
main plaza of the city. All traffic was
stopped while numerous occupants OF
the cars were forced to alight and
salute red and black flags, most OF
which\were carried by female radi'

past the cathedral. Invectives and
insults were hurled at the priests and
the clergy in general, after which a
roisy demonstration was staged in
front Of the office Of the Catholic pa

began the indiscriminate rioting
which ended in the sanguinary clash
with the Catholic workmen. The po-
lice were unable to cope with the
situation and federal troops were
rushed to the scene to restore order.

CIVIL SERVICE
NOT EFFECTIVE
DAUCHERTY SAYS MORE THAN
ONE.THIRD COULD BE DIS.
PENSED WITH-TOO MANY
EMPLoYEES-POSITION TAX
EN- BY ATTORNEY GENERAL.

, Washington, March 2S.-BeEei
that the civil service is a hindrance
to government efficiency was ex'
pressed by Attorney General Daugh'
erty testifying recently before the
house appropriations committee.
'It is probably gratuitous sug'
gestion, but I believe the civil ser
vice is an interference to some ex.
tent in the discharge Of public bust
ness" said the attorney general as
quoted in the printed record Of the
hearing. "About one-half Of the
employees in the department Of JUS
tice are civil service. While I am at
torney general and while the civil
service law is in the statutes I will
enforce it and observe it as I ex-
pect to enforce and observe all laws
"I believe if it were not for the
civil service we could get along with
less than two-thirds of the number
of employees under civil service and
probably get twice as much work
out of them"
Asked by a member 20 explain
;,,rt bow that might be done, Mr..
Daugherty said:
81 suppose the department of JUS
tice has as good employees and as
faithful who are under civil service
as those who are under civil ser
vice in any other department, but
they are not as anxious generally to
be in place,to commence work on
the dot a. Trey are to quit work on
the dot. would rather take the
recommendations Of a political
committee, either Democratic OF
Republican, a self respecting COM
mittee, for the appointment Of q
man or woman than to be compelled
to go through the requirements OF
the civil service ito secure an EN-.
ployee. They are hardly as ambi'
tious, hardly as energetic under the
civil service as are those not under
civil service.
81 discovered both before I came
here as attorney general and since
that civil service employees spent
too much time in trying to work out
plans to make themselves secure IL
their position. While this situation
can not be remedied at the present
time still it is' worthy of careful
study"

COTTON CAMPAIGN
GAINS MOMENTUM
OVER TEN THOUSAND BALES
RECEIVED IN DAY-TEXAS
FARMER COMING TO TELL OF
OPERATION OF TEXAS COT
TON ASSOCIATION.

Columbia, March 2S.-Contracts
representing over.12,000 bales of cot
ton were received Monday at head
quarters of the South Carolina Cot
ton Growers Cooperative association,
according to officials of that associa-
tion. These contracts, it was said,
came from Calhoun, Chester, Able
vile, Lancaster, Greenville and Al
ken counties. Reports of heavy sign
ups were received by wire and tele-
phone from other counties during the
day.
Calhoun county yesterday went be
yond the $4,000 bale mark while
Darlington has now passed 10000
bales and is headed for $4,000 bales.
The campaign was formally launched
in Orangeburg yesterday with a
speech by DR.. D. W. Daniel Of Glenn
son college and the canvass for con-
tracts begins in that county this
week. Officials of the association say
they expect Orangeburg to shortly
take its place as one of the leading
counties.
Announcement was made by the as
sociation yesterday that ]. D. Cogh-
Ian, Texas farmer, was coming to
South Carolina next week to make
some speeches in behalf of the move
ment. Mr.. Coghlan is member Of
the Texas association, having signed
the contract last year for 100 bales.
He grew approximately that number
last year and they are being market
ed through the Texas association.
MIR. Coghlan is 50 enthusiastic over
the operation of the Texas associa-
ton and the benefits being obtained
through it that he is coming to South
Carolina to tell the farmers Of this
state just what it has meant for his
state, hoping that they may follow
Texas lead. ...
"While the farmers of Texas have
already benefited very greatly
through the sale of their 1921 cotton
comparatively, getting an average OF
SIS bale more than farmers who
are not members have gotten, the
benefit derived thus far will be small
in comparison with the benefits that
will be received by all members of
cooperative associations when all OF
the states are organized as they will
be by next fall" says Mr.. Coghlan.
"I already wonder that we did not
come to cooperative marketing years
ago. 1t is surprising that it took
US so long to see it's possibilities"

VICTORY Y>SC0RED
BY WATERWAYS
BIG SUM ADDED TO ARMY BILL.
RECOMMENDATIONS OF BUD
GET BUREAU AND APPROPRI-
ALTON COMMITTEE OF HOUSE
DISREGARDED.

Washington, March 28-Disregard-
ing recommendations of the budget
bureau and of the appropriations com
r1ittee the house today by a to 1
vote added $15,0O0,e00 to the amount
carried in the army appropriation bill
for river and harbor improvement.
An amendment to increase the
lump sum allotted from $27, ,635, ,260
to $42,s15,661 was adopted by vote
of 15s to 81 after three hours of
acrimonious debate, during which 40
members aired their views. The vote
was more on sectional than party
lines. The Republicans split, while
most of the Democrats favored it.
The measure probably will come to
final vote tomorrow.
The phrase "pork barrel legisla-
ton" frequently was injected into
the debate which had all the earmarks
of congressional wrangles of former
years over rivers and harbors appto-
priations. The amount originally rec
commended in the bill was slightly in
excess of the sum approved by the
budget bureau while the total propos-
ed was the amount requested by the
chief of army engineers, in charge
of the Improvements. Carried as a
lump sum with the amount to be ex-
pended on various projects not speci-
fled, the appropriation would be ap-
portioned by the army engineering
corps to continue work during the
coming fiscal year on projects al
ready authorized.
Representative Mondell character
lied the movement to increase the
appropriation as the first assault on
the budget system and as raid on
the treasury" -.
Mr.. Burton contended action Of the
house in approving the increase show
ed the mistake of making lump sum
appropriations. Such a system, he
added, caused members to combine in
support of large sums so that projects
in their districts would be taken
care of.
Mr.. Mann declared that opponents
of the bill made it appear that "a
band of rascals" were attempting to
raid the treasury. A number of rep
resentatives who approved the in
creases advanced the arguments that
the improvement of inland waterways
would allow farmers and manufac-
turers in the interior to move their
products by water more cheaply than
they now can do so by railroad.
