COOPER SIGNS
TELEPHONE BILL

Governor Cooper yesterday morn.
ing signed the Foster telephone act
restoring rates and charges on al
telephones in the state, except com.
panies owned in one or two counties
to their status as of January /, 1921
The chief executive had announced
hearing on the act, passed by the
recent session of the legislature, but
Saturday called off this hearing in
view of the fact that he had already
reached a conclusion.
The act that became law is one of
the most important pieces of legisla
ton put through by the Legislature
at the 1922 session. 1t makes null
and voil increases in telephone rates
allowed by the railroad commission
and puts these rates, charges, tolls,
etc., back to the same status they
were before the railroad commission
allowed the increase in March of
1921. The act also 'reestablishes the
telephone exchange radius or alleged
"free toll" service that was abolished
by the general assembly.
1t was indicated yesterday that at
torneys for the Southern Bell Tele-
phone company will go Immediately
into the courts to determine the vail
dity of the act, the company having
fought the measure throughout it's
course in the legislature. Provision
is carried in the act for the telephone
company to petition the railroad COM
mission for relief and the commits
sion has authority to reduce or in
crease the rates to be charged and the
rates in effect January 1, 1921. The
company may go before the commits
sion, but an appeal to the courts is
also being contemplated.
In signing the act, the governor
gave out the following statement in
regard to the act and the calling off
of the hearing:
'In view of the fact that I had, on
request, promised a hearing before
signing this act, think it is due the
public and all parties interested that
1 give my reasons for. dispensing with
the hearing. -
"The act is regular, on it's face. 1t
il very clear to my mind that should
q hearing be had it would consuma
aasEs tine that could Rsssslay I've
clinetion to give an extended hearing,
the most that the opponents of the
measure could show would be that
the rates fixed in the acts are con-
fiscatory. The act itself provides n
remedy in the case the rates are un-
reasonable, and l could not veto it
in the face of such a provision.
"In addition to this, / would be
very reluctant to veto any measure
of statewide interest when the leg
islature would\ have no opportunity
of passing on the veto until January
of next year. I think that any per
sonal interest in any matter pending
before any department Of the state
government is always entitled to a
hearing, but where it is so clear, as
it is in this case, that / could not have
sufficient time to give hearing, and
where there is ample opportunity for
the same questions to be submitted
to another department of the state
government, it seems to me that he
hearing is not denied by my acting
as / have, but that it is simply trans
ferred to an appropriate tribunal"

FARMERS GIVEN
GOVERNMENT AID
BY Hugh w. Roberts.

Washington, April 3.-In efforts to
aid stricken agriculture, the war
finance corporation, at the close of
business March 81, had loaned of gov
ernment moneys, 1922, 1925 ,69715.
Of that amount, $214,1S7 ,761.O2 was
loaned to banks with the specific un-
derstanding that the amount would go

ment of cotton and grain-the corpo-
ration has approved loans amounting
to $50,25O, ,12OO3.
According to Dwight F. Davis, act
ing managing director of the War
Finance corporation, the country's
financial condition is responding to
the extension of such generous credits.
He makes the following optimistic
statement:
Marked improvement in 1.-THE condi-
ton of the agricultural industry and
better outlook for business generally
is indicated by the April l reports re-
ceived from the agencies of the War
Finance corporation throughout the
country. Lice stock producers and
farmers generally are reported much
more confident because of improved
market and financial conditions. A
strong demand for cattle has develop
ed with buyers operating actively in
the markets. Sheep and lamb mar
kets have continued strong1 Increased
values for hogs, corn and wheat at
country points in the corn belt have
encouraged the farmers and they are
entering into their spring work with
more zest.
"Good range conditions for the
summer are already indicated in some
states, and the drought has been
broken in the Southwestern wheat re-
gion. The growing feeling that it is
possible to market sugar, corn, rice
and cotton on a paying basis has
given a healthier tone to business.

TWO KILLED in
AIRPLANE CRASH

battle above the clouds, staged by fly
ers from Ellington field, resulted in
the death of two army aviators today
when two pursuit planes collided ir
midair, both falling to the ground, one
in flames.
The aviators killed in the crasl,
were Maj. John w. Simons, Jr., of
Charleston, S. c., and Lieut.. Gerald H
Fitzpatrick, of Sacramento, Cal.
At the time of the accident about
Is planes were in the air. The pursuit
planes piloted by Major Simons and
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick were supposed
to be protecting a bombing plane
when fourth plane stimulated an at
tack on the bombing plane.
Aviators who witnessed the maneu-
vers were able to give a graphic ac-
count. Rushing to the protection of
the attacked plane, Major Simons
made sudden tnrn, which threw him
against the wind. This checked the
speed of his plane, causing it to get
in the way of Lieutenant Fitzpatrick,
who was attempting to pass him from
behind. The sudden checking of speed
of the first plane caused the wing of
the second to collide with the rudder
of the first plane.
The colliding planes spiralled to the
ground, landing within 25 feet of each
other. Both officers were dead when
rescuers arrived. The plane piloted
by Major Simons caught fire and was
destroyed. The plane piloted by Lieu
tenant Fitzpatrick was shattered but
did not burn.
Major Simons formerly was on duty
with the chief of the air service in
Washington but was undergoing p lr-
suit training at Ellington field. He
was unmarried and native of Char
lesion. He was commissioned sec
ond lieutenant of infantry in 1908 and
held temporary rank of major during
The world war. He was transferred to
Sthe air service last August and given
sthe permanent rank of major. He
had been on duty at, Ellington field
since January.
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick is survived
! by widow. He was commissioned
Deeenber 1921, after taking d
ccurs sect training at Rockwell field,

to Ellington field in January for ad-
Nanced training in pursuit work. His
home was in Sacramento, Cal.
Charleston, April 3.-News of the
death Of Maj. ]. w. Simons, Jr., U.
S. A.. air service, received here today
by Associated Press dispatch from
Houston, Texas, came as great shock
to his family and wide circle of
friends. Major Simons was grad
uate of the Citadel, class of 1906, and
made splendid record as cadet. He
chose the army as his life career, and
was an able officer, highly esteemed
generally. Major Simons was unmar-
ried, and the son of j. w. Simons of
