Although the genial doctor lost 80
pounds in weight, he is still in the

gaming rapidly. His appetite has
returned and he is ordering practi-

MEN AND WOMEN :.
..HELD.|N AIKEN

Aiken, Jan. 17.-Three men and
one woman, alleged to be the parties
who duped the three leading banks of
Aiken last Thursday by rendering
forged checkS on local cotton buy
er for nearly $500, were placed in
Aiken Jail today, having been arrest
ed at the Terminal hotel in Augusta,
after their rooms had been guarded
until z o'clock this morning by the
police. The men gave their names as
y. C. Westbury, Sam H. Padgett and
Melton Lyles. The woman claims to
be the wife of Padgett. !
Detective M. S. Whitehead of At

tive agency and in the employ of the
American Banking association, caus-
ed the arrest. Last night he thought

him as bearing marked similarity to

He telephoned for Cleveland Thomas

Aiken First National bank, to come
at once. to Augusta. The two cashiers
with four officers and Mr.. Whitehead
took stands in the hallway leading to
the two rooms occupied by the three
men and one woman, and at o'clock
this morning knocked at the doors of
their rooms and were admitted. Pad
gett and his wife both are alleged to
have had heavy revolvers under their
pillows, but were covered by the Off
GERS with guns and made no show Of
resistance. When brought to Aiken
and placed in Jail; Lyles, who is the
youngest of the three men, was at

TO AVOID
WAGE DISPUTES

Washington, Jan ia provision
al agreement was reached today by
railway executives and heads Of the
four railroad brotherhoods meeting
at the instance Of Secretary Hoover
to submit wage and working condi-
tions. affecting train seryice,1>em
ployees to regional conferences for
adjustment, if possible without cor
tests before the railroad board.
Railroad executives will meet in Chi
cago Saturday to consider the pro-
posals while brotherhood chiefs will
report back to their organizations
and if the agreement is ratified, as
all concerned expected today that
it would be the regional gatherings
will be summoned about February
10.
The action was decided upon af.
Der an all day session in which ac-
tive heads Of many Of larger rail-
road organizations Of the: country
participated and which was called by
smaller preliminary meeting Of
railroad executives and labor lead
ers with Mr. Hoover.
The regional conference, MI
Hoover said, "would facilitate the
work of the railroad labor board and
above all tend to create. spirit of
working good will and the settle.

CROP INSURANCE
TO GET EMPHASIS

Washington, Jan. 17-Insurance Of
crops as method of stabilizing
prices of farm products is expected
to be one of many suggestions put
forward at the National Agriculture
conference which opens here Janu-
ary % for inclusion in permanent
tariff policy. Discussion within the
conference is expected to develop
whether the proponents would rec
ommend that the insurance be car
ried by the farmers comparatively, by
private companies, or through gov
ernment aid.
Hail insurance has already been
tried by tobacco growers and storm
insurance is in force in some sections
of the West, but for the first time
experts expect to see the question
presented for an insurance against
all crop risks.
Crop insurance has been tested to
a certain extent, it was declared, both
by mutual farmers companies and
by private insurance companies, and
agricultural experts declare it has
proven successful.
Balancing production with con-
sumption is another topic which the
conference leaders expect to see come
up. The relations Of the supply Of
crops and food stuffs to markets has
long been studied and suggestions
which are likely to come from con-
ference delegates, it was said, range
all the way from the old acreage lin
tation to more careful study of
world production and consumption.
Along with this would go crop suf-
veys in America which would enable
the producers, in the opinions of ag-
ricultural leaders, in advance of crop
planting, to guage the consumption
demand.
The Importance of developing sta
tistical information was pointed out
by delegates in discussing this sub.
ject. They said that for number of
years, figures on production have
been fairly complete but similar data
ion consumption have been shy.

RESCUE SEAMEN
LASHED TO HATCH

New York, Jan. 17.-Without food
and water for two days and during
that time lashed to the cabin hatch OF
their waterlogged craft to prevent
them from being washed overheard
by mountainous seas, Capt. V. M
Cole and seven members of the crew
of the American schooner, James M.
Hall, arrived here today on the
steamship West Canon, which rescued
them ESQ miles southeast Of Cape
May, N. j.
Virtually abandoning hope of ever
being picked up alive, the shipwreck-
ed crew used it's remaining dry match
Friday night to set fire to dish pan
of gasoline in last desperate attempt
to make known it's plight. The result
ant flare was seen from the West
Canon bound here from Java, which
Immediately headed for it and took
off the men, who were suffering from
cold and hunger. "'
The schooner, which left Charles
ton, S. c., for Boston, January s.
with a cargo of lumber. was aban-
doned. She registered 4s1 TONS and
was owned in Boston.
CAPTAIN Cole said he encountered
heavy gales and rough seas soon after
leaving Charleston. They increased in
force and became so violent that the
vessel sprung leak and began to fill
with water. All hands were put to
work at the pumps, but they could
make little headway because OF the
terrific pounding to which the craft
was subjected. Finally conditions be-
came so bad that the captain ordered
all men to lash themselves to the
hatch of the cabin, which was the
only part of the deck structure to re-
main above the surface. Except for
brief intervals when man would
risk the fury of the seas to send up
distress signals, they remained that
way for two days and nightss with
nothing to eat or drink. =

IN INTERVIEW WITH CUR
ION AND fARDiNGE-CON-
FERs WITH BRITISH STATES
MEN

Paris, Jan 17-Premier Poincare's
first official act upon assuming con-
troll of the ministry of foreign af-
affairs today was in direction of
Strengthening out points in the Anglo
French pact as agreed to by NJ.
BRAND and Lloyd George, to which
he objects. He had a conversation
lasting two hours with Lord Curzon,
the British secretary for foreign at
fairs, and Lord Hardinge, British
ambassador, with the purpose of
having the pact ready as amended to
present to the chamber of deputies
when he reads the governments
declaration on Thursday.
It is understood that M. Poincare
requested Lord Curzon that the pact
be amended to make the military
protection clause mutual, namely,
that France should come to the as
sistance of Great Britain should the
latter be attacked, and also that the
general staffs of the two countries
should meet at their earliest pos
sfble moment after the pact is rati-
fed to draw up a" plan of defense in
their army, and would cooperate in
the event of an attack lin the East.
The question of the protection. of
Poland in case Of an attack by Ger
many was not discussed today. 1t is
learned that this will he the subject
of future interviews between Lord
Hardinge andM Poincare after the
Polish government is consulted. g.,
