iZc the supreme court to reopen the

ing divided the court equally, 4 and 4.

account of illness.
The joint resolution Of Scott sets
cut the fact that thct axes were il
legal and void "becauSc laid and col

Of the United States in that they were
direct taxes on the ownership Of per-
sonai property without being appor-
toned among all states of the union

United States Lost Chance

San Francisco, Jan. 13.-Woodrow
Wilson declared in letter written
by him January 3 to John Fl. Williams
of San Francisco and published in The
Bulletin today, that failure of the SEN
ate to ratify the treaty Of Versailles
deprived the United States of the lead
ership of the world. His letter, in re-
ply, to one from Williams saying his
work had made possible the Washing
ton conference on limitation of arma-
ments, said:
"You are right In thinking that the
United States was entitled to leader
ship in the league Of nations; indeed,
the countries associated with us in the
war and the many less powerful gov
ernments which had benefited by the
results of The war had already accord
ed us leadership, and the pity of the
failure of the senate to ratify the
treaty of Versailles was not only that
the nations who took part in the franz
ing of the treaty were denied by our
act the justice they would secure by
its terms but also that the United
States was deprived of the leadership
of the world"

Although the merger plan was
originally received favorably by
number Of the senate leaders the
president was said to regard it as
impractical and his view was reflect
ed in further conferences today be-
tween the senate leaders.
The presidents objection to the
merger were said by callers at the
White House today to be based on
his desire for the assurance that
provisions definitely would be made
for payment of the bonus. So far as
the refunding bill is concerned, he
was said to believe that the refund
ing process should be developed to
insure returns from the allied loans

He was represented, however, as
not hostile TO the suggestion That the

loans be used for paying the bcg.i

stated definitely that he also WOULD
not oppose sales tax for the purpose
Of paying the bonus if congress
should decide upon that plan.
The president, however, was said to

that over $4,00o,800 in the hands Of
the alien property custodian be used
for bonus pay ment. These funds, it
was said, were regarded as pledged

AIKEN BANKS
LOSE TO FORGERS

Aiken, Jan. 13.-A trick which was
practiccd recently on banks in New
berry and Spartanburg was worked on
three Aiken banks Thursday. namely
;hc Bank of Western Carolina, the
First National and the Farmers &
Merchants.
The sum Of $768.90 was secured by
forgers, who had laid their plans well,
having cut telephone wires to aid
their project. OF the amount $294.6O
was secured from the First National,
$290.30 from the Farmers & Mer-
chants and $lS2 from the Bank of
Western Carolina.
At each bank two young men ap-
pcared, and one of them, with lint cot
ton on his clothes, presented n check
from George L. Owens, local cotton
buyer, signed "per l.. E. Eubanks,"
son-in-law and clerk of Mr.. Owens.
who as a general thing signs Mr.. Ow-
ems business checks.
The checks were for amounts Of
several hundred dollars more than
was withdrawn by the young man,
who informed the cashier of the
Farmers and Merchants bank that lie
wished to make deposit He said
his mother had recently purchased a
farm near town and that the bank
had been recommended as being good.
At the First National he did the
same thing The cashier at the West
ern Carolina handed over the money
for the check. These checks overdrew
slightly the account of Mr.. Owens and
this is when the discovery forgery
took place. The police wire was also
cut. The names used as payee on
checks were f. p. Gaines, William
Willis an1 Arts Wilson. The forged
signature was extremely hard to de-
tect. Police authorities have been
notified of this and tracers are being
sent far and near.
