More Prisoners
In Penitentiary

Crime in South Carolina continues
to increase, Judging by the number Of
prisoners coming to the penitentiary
The prison population at present is
SIP, the largest in a number of years
and almost every day it increases.
rather than decreases, officers say.
The number in the prison now is
104 greater than at the beginning OF
the year. The big increase is caus-
ing the penitentiary authorities some
concern, as the Legislature this yea'
cut the appropriation for the insti
tuition. 1t costs money to feed SIP
men and women and to run a peniten-
tiary, the officers say, and they are
having to do some close figuring.
The population is made up largely
of men, there being SO women pres.
ent, however. One hundred and forty
six of the prisoners are on the two
farms while the remainder are within
the prison walls.

TOLBERT CASE
GIVEN ATTENTION

Washington, July 5.-The consid

w. Tolbert to be marshal of the West.
ern district of South Carolina by o
subcommittee Of the judiciary com
mittee of the senate, of which Senate,
Samuel M. Shortridge of California IS
chairman, is scheduled for an un.
named day next week.
Without specifying, Senator Short
ridge stated today that certain pro
tests against confirmation of Tolber,
had been received by the subcommit
tee. He also stated that when tho
matter, is under consideration, Sena-
tor N. B. Dial of South Carolina
would he received for the purpose Of
making statement. Senator Dial. as
previously reported, will protest
against the confirmation of Tolbert.
The senator returned today from
South Carolina. He did not make pub
Tic the ground pn which he would base
his protest, but it is understood that
he will review the history of Re.
publicanism in his state since the in.
tception of the administration of Pres
ident Harding. 1t is expected that he
will declare that, in his opinion, Tol.
bert, in consideration of his record, is
not an ideal man to be made an i'm.
portant court official in South Caro-
lima.
Senator Dial said today: at is un-
pleasant to proceed against any one
appointed to Office. But certain duties
confront senator when his people
send him to Washington, and such
duties must be regarded, whether they
are pleasant or not. 1 feel that we
should be very careful in suffering the
confirmation of men appointed to hold
once In our state. 1t is my duty to
oppose the confirmation of any ap-
pontee l do not regard as satisfactory
and it will not suffice, hold it, that
! simply register my protest by neg
atiye vote"
The case is one of the really in
teresting which pend in Washington
Tolbert is the oldest member of the
national Republican committee and is
chairman of the state committee. He
Is spokesman for the Republican par
ty in South Carolina and as such his
appointment by the president was nat
.urai His rejection by Republican
senate, afser he had fetoinimended ats;
pointees for practically all other Of
fees, would be to certain extent, at
least, sensational.
The intention of Senator E. D.
Smith regarding the Tolbert case is
unknown. The senator is absent at
present.

STRIKERS SIEZE
RAILWAY SHOPS

Slater, Mo-, July s (By the Asso.
ciated Press).-Striking shopmen
comprising between 60 and 70 per
cent of the population, and including
majority of the city officials, held
the Chicago & Alton railroad shops
here tonight and patrolled the town.
After driving Is strikebreakers from
the shops today, taking them to the
edge of town and telling them to
"beat it," the strike sympathizers
found ten more tonight hiding in a
foreman's car in the railroad yards
and placed them on train for Chi
cago.
All trains passing through Slate
tonight were searched for strike
breakers. A force of strikers held
the station platform, and others were
posted at various parts of the yards.
A dead line has been established
around the railroad shops beyond
which no stranger could go in ap-
preaching the shops.
Thomas j. Calling, the mayor, a
clerk in the shops, said that as far
as he knew there had been no vio-
lence, and Leo Winkler, head of the
shipments union, said there had been
no violence.
The mayor said railroad officials
had asked him today for special Of
licers to protect property, but that he
had refused to act because it would
precipitate trouble.
John Lorgen, sheriff of Saline
county, said he had spoken with Gov
ernor Hyde, but the governor had
said he did not believe it necessary
to send troops yet.
The sheriff told The Associated
Press correspondent that he would
not be able to control the situation
should trouble develop.
One Of the strikebreakers deported
tonight wore a bandage wrapped
around his head as he was led on
board the Chicago train. Union men
said he had fallen into one of the
repair pits.
p. Butts, the town marshal, until
four years ago an employee in the
ships, admitted arresting strike
breaker today and holding him in Jail
For four Hours "on suspicion" He
later was released to union men and
,told~to leaya town. .s&s::Sss,;;s 49, !.
The sheriff has only two deputies
and one office man as assistants, and,
while the governor suggested he
swear in special deputies for the
emergency, he has not been able to
find any one willing to serve.
There was loose talk tonight in the
streets of Slater among the groups
of union men who stood on street
corners. Some men thought that vio-
lence was sure to follow any attempt
by the railroad to operate it's shops.
All were agreed that operation would
not be allowed. The town is in ac-
cord on that point.

FURMAN HEAD
DECLINES OFFER

Greenville, July 5.-Announcement
was made this afternoon by DR.. w
}. McGlothlin, president of Furmar
university, that he had decided to de-
cline tn eoffer of the presidency of
William Jewell college, at Liberty,
Mo-, and would remain at the head
OF Furman University. The offer
from the Missouri institution was re-
ceived by DR.. McGlothlin several
weeks ago and has been under care
full consideration since that time.
Formal announcement of his deci
sion to remain at Furman was made
by DR.. McGlothlin in letter to John
A Russell, president of the Green
vile chamber of commerce, in which
he says: Assurances of interest and
support on the part Of the citizens
of Grecnville have materially aided
me in reaching a decision as to what
course I ought to pursue The presi-
dency of William Jewell college, with
the high standards and great poten.
tial resources of the institution, made
strong appeal but l have decided to
remain with Furman."
In outlining the reasons why he
has decided to remain at Furman, DR.
,McGlothlin states in this letter that
some two years ago the general edu-
cational board of New York offered to
give to the endowment of the insti-
tuition the sum of SITS 900 if it's othe,
friends would raise 1925, 900, thus
adding a total of haf million to the
endowment. "Up to the present very
little has been done toward meeting
this great Offer" says DR.. McGloth
Inns letter.
"This delay was caused by the Sc
rious financial depression through
which our state with others has been
passing. But the period in which our
part of the half million is to be raised
is rapidly passing. Something like
two years remain in which to com
plete the raising of the funds neces
sary to meet the great offer of the
general education board Can this
amount be raised? Will the enlight-
ened, wealthy, forward looking men
of Greenville help me? This is the
question which has revolved itself
over and over in my mind as I have
considered the possibilities of the flu
.ture, and the hope that such will be
the case has kept me in 'Greenviile.
| ask nothing for myself. l only asl
that Greenville and South Carolin;
will unite to build great and worth.
educational institution in this city
for the education of the young mer
of this and adjoining states and 70,
the service of man and of God. Green
vile is sure to be a great industria
centre. In the midst of this ma
terial growth will it also support
worthily those institutions which are
necessary to keep up the moral an,
spiritual life of its people? | hope
that it may be so and that hope has
kept me in Greenville."

Marked Trend Toward Peace

Chicago, July 6 (By the Associated
Press) ).-The strike of railway shop
men assumed n more conciliatory as
pect today and the feeling became
more general in railroad circles that
the last "a hours had shown a marked
trend toward peace despite the in
crease in disorders at scattered
points. 1t is believed that yesterdays

Ben Hooper, of the Labor Board. and
B. M. Jewell, the shopmen's head
probably opened way to negotiations
for an early settlement.

CHANCE REMAINS
TO SETTLE STRIKE

Chicago, July 5 (By the Associated
Press).-Hope for the speedy settle
ment of the countrywide strike of rail
way shopmen was seen tonight in
statements issued by Ben w. Hooper
chairman of the United States rail
road labor board, and B. M. Jewell,
leader of the shop crafts who order
ed the walkout.
In reply to n letter from Mr..
Hooper, which was regarded as con.
ciliatory, Mr.. Jewell declared tha.
the strikers were willing to "con-
slider any negotiations with any one
in authority for settlement of the
strike"
1--WE are willing to confer with any
body authorized by the railroads TO
bring peace proposals to u.s." said Mr..
Jewell. 81 include or exclude nobody,
but if the labor board, for instance.
came to us with definite proposition
we would not hesitate to consider"
N The tabulation showed only 94.7 per
"cent Of the men had voted to strike
on the question of wages, the heaviest
vote for strike being on the question
cf outside contract labor which polled
97.1 per cent of the vote cast. The
ballot on rules came second with 96.C
for strike. Union leaders said that the
vote displayed the relative Importance
attached to the. three points at issue
aby their membership.
Mr. Jawoll rooJo p,,bl;o +Lo o,,,.,
figures on the strike vote taken by the
100000 members of the six shop
crafts. The vote was divided into
three separate ballots, the first once
accepting a $50,OOO,OOO reduction IN
wages ordered by the labor board, the
restoration of seven working rules a.
tered by the board, and third, the
abolishment of outside contracting ty
the roads.
In railroad circles it was declared
that the way already had been cleared
for full settlement on the gravest
issues-that of contract work-by the
agreement of IL roads to abolish out
side contracting at the labor board
meeting last Friday, when Mr.. Jewell
ignored an order to appear and ex-
plain his strike order.
The first explanation of, the incident
was made by Mr.. Jewell tonight when
he said that to have appeared before
we iab0f Jsesyds ssifsfiiday sswouid nnvc
resulted in a mob like suspension of
work by the shopmen and possible
bloodshed." He said that the strike
order already having gone out and a
suspension of work Saturday morning
at 10 o'clock having been sanctioned
by locals in all parts of the country,
to have made an 18th hour attempt to
avert walkout would have resulted
only in chaos.
Mr.. Jewell said that the intervcn-
tion Of the board had come too late
and the only way to prevent disorders
was for him virtually to defy the
board and thus let the rank and file
of the six shop crafts organizations
involved know that their leaders had
their hands on the brakes and were
in full control of the situation. He
said so far he had received no over
lures looking toward settlement and
had made none He added that the
strike vote was the most representa-
tive ever taken, but did not name
total figures.
