SIM FEM To VOTE
ON IRISH FREE STATE

DUBLIN, Feb. 22.-Delegates
from every part of Ireland, repre-.
senting branches of Sim F'ein, met
here today in national convention to
decide what proportion of the or.
ganization will support the treaty
with Great Britain.
A victory for the free state was
expected in this, the first plebiscite
on the issue.
Eamonn de Valera and his follow
ers today began their real fight
against the treaty which viii make
Ireland d member of the British
commonwealth. A resolution which
would commit tho Sim F'ein to sup
port De Valera and his candidates at
the forthcoming elections on the
question of the treaty, will be pro
posed by the former republican
president and a vote taken this
evening.
Arthur Griffith, president of the
dali cream, Sim Fein's parliament,
w permit the former chieftain to
Like the first move. Then he will
move an amendment to the effect
that the Sim Fem constitution per
mits it's members to adhere to the
treaty with Great Britain.
f Griffith is defeated today he
will have to create a new organiZa-
ton with which to operate in the
constituencies during the elections.
The pro-treaty party has organic
ed to force De Valera to leave the
Sim Fem organization to them ard
form a new party himself.
In any event the anti-treaty f-.c-
ton will become a republican par
ty' to fight the election. They plan
to nominate candidates for the new
free state parliament who will re
fuse to sit if elected.
De 7.alera presided at today's
meeting, for he still is president and
chairman of Sim Fem, despite his
defeat in the dali.
Michael Collins, of course, will
support Griffith, and will move that

MOTHER AND THREE
BOYS DIE IN FIRE

AIKEN, S. c., Feb. 22.-Mrs.
Clarence Eugene Monts and her
three children were burned to death,
and C. E. Monts, the father, is in a
critical condition at hospital here
as the result of fire which early
Tuesday destroyed their home on
Fairfield street.
The victims are: Mrs. c. e.
Monts, the mother; Lamar Monts,
seventeen; Clarence Monts, thirteen;
Eugene DuBose Monts.
The fire was discovered by the
family shortly after midnight. They
were sleeping in a room on the sec
ond floor of the building. The flames
had enveloped almost the entire
ground floor when Mr.. Monts was
awakened. He first seized the two
smallest children and made his way
through the dense smoke to the
front door. Reaching there he was
unable to find the keyhole while
holding the children, and releasing
them until he could get the door
open, he turned to find they had dis
appeared, evidently seeking other
means of escape.
In his frantic search for the chill
dren Mr.. Monts was severely burn
ed. 1t is stated that he was making
a final search about the first floor,
when the neighbors arriving OH the
scene saw that the building would
soon f; IL in and carried Mr.. Monts
aW y.
All of the bodies were recovered,
Ut burned beyond recognition. No
fu:,eral arrangements had been
I ade this morning.
The fire is thought to have been
caused by short circuit in a stor-
age battery used with u wireless out
fit in the Monts home. Lamar
Monts, the eldest son, who was an
amateur wireless enthusiast, gave a
concert last night for his friends.
Mr.. Monts had lived here nearly
al. of his life and had many warm
friends throughout this section. He
had been ticket agent at the South
ern railway station here for nineteen
years He was twice married, the
older boys who were lost in the fire
being of the first marriage, and the
3-year-old tot, Eugene DuBose, of the
second marriage.
Mrs. Monts, who was about thirty
one years old, was the daughter of
the late Mr.. and Mrs. Wylie Duncan
DuBose, of Washington, Ga. AS
Miss Nannette DuBose, she was one
of the most popular girls of that
city. She is survived by two sis
ters, Mrs. Robert Holiday, of Wash
ington, and Mrs. Harry Sudlow, Of
Aiken; two brothers, James Rembert
DuBose, of Aiken, and Clarence
H. DuBose, of Baltimore. She
was the first cousin of Edwin
r. DuBose, of Chamberlain
DuBose company, Atlanta, and Of
Robert S. Quin and Langdon c..
Quin, also of Atlanta. Mrs. H. P.
Quin, of Macon, is her aunt.
Another brother Duncan DuBose,
Jr., was killed in Buffalo in an auto
mobile accident five years ago. Mrs.
Monts was married in Washington
Ga, eight or ten years ago, and had
lived in Aiken since that time.

AGRICULTURAL WORKERS
COMPLETE CONVENTION
NEW TRIAL MOTION
FILED BY WORTH

Attorney Len B. Guillebeau, coun-
sci for#Jack Worth, who was con-
victed Tuesday as an accessory aft
err the fact to the murder CT Pinker-
ton Detective Irby c. Walker by
Frank DuPre and sentenced by
Judge John D. HUMPHREYS to serve
from one to three years at the state
farm, filed a motion Wednesday for
a new triaE for his client.
The hearing on the motion has
been set for March II, while Judge
Humphries will consider Saturday
the application for a SuperSedeas
bond. The new trial motion is
based on the contention that the in
dictment was faulty and that the
evidence did not support the charge.
Attorney Guillebeau announced
his intention Wednesday of fighting
the case through all the courts in an
effort to free his client.
In bringing in it's verdict, the jury
recommended that the offense be
treated as q misdemeanOr, but Judge
HUMPHREYS disregarded the recon-
mendation in view of statements
made by Assistant Solicitor E. A
Stephens and City Detective Z. O.
Sturdivant that Worth, under the
name of Claude Raysor, was con-
victed in the superior court Of bur
glary in 1907, and had been given a
light sentence in recent years for an
alleged violation of the prohibition
law.
Judge HUMPHREYS stated, however
that at the expiration of one year
he would recommend to the prison
commission that Worth be paroled
The form in which the sentence
in the Worth case was made really
reduces it to misdemeanor sen
tence, inaSmuch as actual time to
serve is concerned, although if
Worth is paroled at the end of one
year he will be under the jurisdic
ton of the prison commission for the
next two.
The case went to the jury shortly
after o'clock Tuesday afternoon
The jury returned it's verdict a few
minutes before Z p. m. The jury
asked Judge HUMPHREYS for instruc
ton on certain technical points al
6:35 p. m. and then came to a de-
ciston in less than half an hour.
Mrs. Worth COllapses
A touching scene was. enacted in
the courtroom when the jury re
turned it's verdict. Mrs. Worth, who
had been in constant attendance al
her husbands side during the tria,
with her eleven months-old baby
Jack, Jr., collapsed when the assist
ant solicitor general read the de
cision of the jury.
Little Jack, Jr., lay peacefully
sleeping in his mothers arms
oblivious to what was taking place
Worth, evidently suffering great
mental anguish, tried to quiet his
wife and his last act before leaving
the courtroom for his cell at the
Tower was to kiss his baby, who was
elevent months old Tuesday.
The sensation Of the trial, how.
ever, came early during the session
when c. r. Buckley, star witness for
the state, who is under indictment
as accessory, refused to testify and
repudiated former confessions said
to have been made by him.
When asked by Solicitor General
John A. Boykin to describe certain
parts of the alleged deal with Worth
and DuPre, Buckley was evasive,
but under a grilling examination
from the solicitor he admitted prac-
tically everything his alleged confess
sions contained. Buckley freely adj
mitted driving DuPre to Chatta-
nOoga.

A|RPLANE WAR
ON BOOZE BEGUN

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Feb. 22.-
Aerial warfare against bootleggers
and rum runners has been formally
| launched by federal prohibition en-
forcers. Eleven airplanes, late Sun
day, off Jew Fish creek, about 40
miles south of Miami, Fla, swoop-
ed down on the British steamer An
nabeIle, laden with a cargo, said to
have been II 500 cases of whisky,
Selling the vessel and the entire
crew, the reports said.
The entire crew of the Annabelle,
| consisting Of 81 men, were taken
into custody, without giving any re-
sistance, and are now being held
while the confiscated liquor is under
guard on board the schooner, which
is anchored off Jew Fish creek.
Special squads of federal officers,
aided by coast guards and army
filters today prepared to vigorously
push the warfare. The booze run
ners, said to have made hundreds
of thousands Of dollars smuggling
liquor into Florida from the Bahia
mas, Cuba and other points south
of this peninsula, were also re-
ported to be marshaling their wits
and resources for the battle which
threatened their industry.
It was learned through the local
prohibition officials, that a man
every close" to Commissioner
Haynes, at Washington, is on the
ground here, taking charge of the
proposed blockade of liquor snug
Cling. The identity of this man, and
just what part of the state he is in
at present, could not be learned.
1t was intimated, however, by
those in a position to know, that
forces are actually being marshaled
to put up d blockade along the south
Atlantic coast, to stop rum running
which, it has been generally known
for some time, is being carried on
on a flourishing scale. Proof of this
lies in the fact that those who know
the ropes" are able to obtain fine
Irish and Scotch liquors at very
modest prices, considering the meth
DDS necessary to get the liquors
into this country.
The federal forces have been at
work for some time, it was learned,
a squad of airplanes having left
Washington some days ago, divid-
ing up into small units, some stop
ping at Charleston, Jacksonville, st.
Augustine, Miami and other points.
These airplanes, it is said, are
equipped with a wave code, which
no other wireless apparatus can in
tercept, and this is used exclusive
ly in sending and receiving official
messages. In the stern of each air
plane is mounted a Colt-Browning
machine gun, capable of firing 400
shots per minute, with expert ma
chine gunners in charge.
In the methods used by the prohi-
bition agents in capturing the Anna
belle, off Jew Fish creek, advance
information was obtained by sub
chaser of the location of the rum
runner, and the airplanes gathered
simultaneously over the whisky car
rier at signal from the subchaSer.

Smuggling Of Aliens
Rivals Bootlegging,
Secretary Davis Says

WASHINGTON, Feb. pa law
requiring registration of all aliens in
the United States is to be asked of
congress soon by Secretary of Labor
Davis, it was learned today.
Despite the vigilance of immigra-
ton authorities, the smuggling of
immigrants into the United States
is increasing steadily until it has be-
come a regular "bootlegging" bust
ness, rivaling the illicit trade in
liquor, Mr.. Davis said today.
"Bottlegging in immigrants has
been taken up by rum runners, who
are finding it more profitable to
bring aliens into the United States
than liquor" Mr.. Davis said.
These aliens are struggled across
the border from Canada or Mexico,
or landed directly along the south
ern coast from Cuba and other West
Indian points,"

RUSSIAN OPERA COMPANY
PRESENTS "PIQUE DAME
Gives Excellent Performance Of
Tschalkowsky Opera to En-.
thusIastIc Audience

Tschaikowsky had his first operatic
representation Of the week of the Rus
sian Opera Company in this city last
evening at the Academy Of Music when
PlQue Dame wns presented. AS has
been the case throughout, the perfor-
nance was m excellent one being well
sung, convincingly acted and bcauti-
fully staged.
The opera itself has much more Of
those qualities which distinguish
Tschaikowsky in his finest orchestral
works than has the more popular and
better known "Eugen Onesln." There
in the work, It's music being largely
devoted to dramatic recitative with a
tremendously effective orchestration,
which. almost as much MS the charac,e,
OF the music itself, brings out the trag-
cdy which underlies the whole opera.
It was we'll performed throughout.
Mr.. Daniloff as Herman and Miss
Mashir as Liza had the leading roles
and did them we'll. as did also Miss
Mirovitch who made n splendid
Countess Pique Dame) Miss Valen-
tinova rs Paulina, Miss Kazanskaya as
Prilepa, Mr.. Radeef as the Prince and
Mr.. Panteleef as Tomsky. Some Of
the best numbers Of tho opera were the
quintet by the friends OF Herman,
Tomski's song with the three card re-
frain and the duet Of Herman and Liza
in the first act the ballet music and
the scene in the chamber Of the Coun-
tess when Hermann tries to get the
secret of the cards in the second, the
ghost scene with the storm nccompani-
mcnt in the third and the death Of
Hermann in tho closing scene.
The opera contains many secondary
roles which are almost "a difficult to
sing and to act as the principal ones
and it speaks we'll for the capacity Of
the company that these have been SO
we'll done.
