The principal precaution for the

SAVANNAH, Ga, May 2s.-Wnliam
Byrd, a negro. living near Brent
wood. in Wayne county. Ga. was shot
to death by mob yesterday after
noon and his body burned. Byrd was
accused of killing B. w. Moody. a
well-to-do farmer. who lived near
him He also seriously wounded
Browning Weaver and shot Carlos
Moody in the arm.
The trouble arose over the arrival
Of a number of negroes from Macon
to work on the Moody place. Among
the negroes was Byrd's wife. who in
sisted upon riding on the front of
the truck with the driver. She was
denied this privilege and indignant
ly reported ii to her husband. Byrd
went to the home of Moody. by whom
he was employed, and in the row
that resulted from the visit the elder
Moody was shot and killed and the
other two men shot by Byrd, who
then escaped into the woods. He
was later surrounded by neighbors
and he was shot down and his body
burned. Dogs were secured from

PLAN T0.AIRHT|R|ATE
TACNA,:ARCA ISSUE
Delegates Discuss Form to

Ry tha Aasociafed Presa

By the Associated press.
Proposed forms Of arbitration con-
stituted the basis of negotiation of
the Chi1ean-Peruvian conference to.
day as It began it's third week.
Having virtually abandoned hope Of
a direct settlement of the pro blem of
Tacna-Arica, the paramount question
became the method by which the for
ty-year controversy between the two
governments should be referFed to
settlement by outside agencies.
Several arbitration plans had been
suggested, including one which would
give the arbitrator authority to de-
eide whether the sovereignty Of Tao
na-Arica should be determined by q
plebiscite, as provided in the. treaty
of %Ancorl, or whether some other
method of settlement-must be sought
There was no indication from either
side as to the acceptability of any Of
the proposals informally advanced in
conference circles. but both delega-
tions professed continued optimism
that satisfactory scheme Of arbitra-
tion would be found. Both had been
in communication with their home
it did not appear whether the ex-
changes had been of a decisive nat
ture.
By some conference officials 1t was
thought probable that definite prog
ress might be delayed at least until
the middle of the week 50 that the
plenipotentiaries could have adequate
opportunity to thresh out the arbi-
tration problem with their foreign Of
fees.
At the same time, however. It was
realized that exchanges of personal
opinion among the delegates at con-
sultations such as they held over the
weekend and at the joint session
called for today might go a long way
toward establishing a good under
standing and preparing the ground
for the more formal and authoritative
exchanges soon to begin.
