 Are Sentenced For
 F.P. Bagby's Death

Tuskegee, September 15.-Jesse Isaacs and Major Sturdivant, ne- groes, were this morning sentenced to ten years each at hard labor In the state penitentiary, for the mur- der of Frank P. Bagby, Jr., son of the pastor of the Presbyterian church here on the afternoon of August 28, last. Aaron Junlus Howard, anoth- CT negro, was sentenced to hang November 3, for the same offense.
 The jury in the case of Howard was out but q few minutes before returning a verdict of guilty with the death penalty and he was im- mediately sentenced to hang by the presiding judge in court last night.
 This morning upon reconvening of court an agreement was reached be- tween the states attorneys, A. B. Payne and R. H. Powell, and the ce- fense attorney, C. ". Hare. appoint ed by the court for defense of the negroes, to allow Isaacs and Sturdi- want to enter please of guilty to sec- ond degree murder and take sem tences of ten years each.
 The latter negroes. 1t was said, were standing by and accessory to the killing of young Bagby. who Is said to have had an argument with Howard preceding the fatal stab- ping, about q debt owed by the ne- gro.
 There was but small attendance at court this morning and the ses- sion lasted but short time. The negroes win be given protection against any form of violence by the state, and Sturdivant and Isaacs will be sent at once to Kilby prison Montgomery to begin serving their nanfnnGaa

LITER LEADS AS
 T BOXES OPENED SOFAR IN COUNT
SlnuIe Shot Ballots Are Found in Nearly Every Box Opened by Committee Conduct
 ing Recount

At 10 o'clock last night n ballot boxes had been opened and votes cast for Mark L. Jeter. Augustus Benners and Henry R. Howze, candi- dates for the state legislature, were counted with Jeter in the lead, poll ing a vote of 7,620: Howze, 7,b93 and Renners 7,573. This count is being made by 8 committee appointed by the democratic executive committee Thursday afternoon, composed of Lige Reeves, Steve Wiggins, Rush Randle and R, H. Allison.
 The count yesterday varied con- tinually, each candidate being at some time in the lead. In almost every box which has been opened some of the ballots have been thrown out because the voter failed to vote for seven in the legislative ticket. However, no record is being kept as to who loses by these east off bal lots. In is the opinion of the com mittee that each candidate is re- ceiving practically the same loss by the single shot votes.
 The committee in charge of this re- count began work yesterday morn : ing at 9 o'clock and has continued steadily through the day. Accord ing to Rush Randle, a committeeman, the count will not be completed until late tonight. A number of &C., countants and clerks are assisting the committee with the count.

chicago, September 15.-A mutual
 agreement embracing a new schedule
 Of rates of pay and working rules

 read, Hale Holden. president. aa-
 nounced tonight. The so-called Will
 lard plan of settlement Is thus dis
 posed of. a statement by Mir. Holden says.
 The contract with the representa-
 fives Of the present mechanical craftsmen, according to a statement
 issued by Mir, Holden, provides graduated rate of pay for different
 skill and territory differentials, .n- yolving in some instances increases over the former scale.
 Any consideration of the so-callcd Willard plan of settlement with the outside unions Is thus finally dis posed or by the recognition of and contract with direct representatives of the present shop craft employees of she Burlington" the statement concludes.
 The action of the Burlington in | recognizing its present employees or ganization is the first of its kind since the shop crafts policy commit tee adopted it's settlement plan here early this week. In contrast to the action of the Burlington striking shopmen of the Chicago and North
 western and the Chicago, Milwauke ee
 and St. Paul roads. 27.000 in all. re- turned to work at various points on
 the respective systems.
 Union Heads Confer l Union leaders today held a mum
 Der of conferences, but refused to l disclose their nature
 MT. Jewell declared that all settle | ments negotiated In the future would 1 be kept secret, if possible, as neither 1 the union or various railroad off 1 cials planned to make any announce | ments concerning their plans or 1 conferences with system federation representatives.
 | Union men who are guilty of overt | acts during the strike likely will l not be shielded by the unions In | their efforts to reach agreements with the various railroads. 1t be-
 came known here through reliable | sources. This is believed in line with Mir. Jewell's policy and con | stant plea for a peaceful strike. 1 The action to be taken in the case l of these employees will be left to the | road arrangements, 1t Is indicated, | although such a course would not l take any of the cases away from the labor unions for It's considera- | ton 1t Is pointed out.
 Baltimore, September 15.-A peace pact, generally known as the Baltf- more plan, was signed here this aft ernoon by Charles w. Galloway, vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and representatives of the striking shopmen employed on the Baltimore and Ohio.
 Practically all of the striking Bal | timore and Ohio shopmen are expect ed to be back to work within ten I days.

 It was learned also that Ford trade school, where the manufacturer trains mechanics, will close. This school remained in operation during the Ford shutdown of 1920.
 MT. Ford and assistants were in conference late today. It was re- ported plan was being discussed where a part of the tractor plant at Dearborn could be kept open, but these reports could not be confirmed.
 All attempts on the part of busi- ness men and others to obtain an official statement from Mir. Ford, with regard to his plans, met with failure.
 Twenty-Five thousand employees scattered throughout the country be- sides Detroit will be affected by the close down, Mir. Ford said in his first statement. In addition there will be many others, he said, at that time who will be obliged to lay down their tools or work part time. These are workers employed by concerns
 
 for business. Those directly and -In- directly affected by the closing are variously estimated by Ford officials to total between several hundred thousand and two million" The esti- mate was made several weeks ago when the manufacturer made his first announcement
 E. G. Leibold. secretary to MT. Ford, said today the manufactures might make a public statement to- morrow.
 Since his original statement an- nouncing his contemplated shutdown MT. Ford repeatedly, in supplemental statments and interviews, has crit iciszed government agencies for the manner in which they have appor- toned coal supplies. He also has arraigned certain coal brokers whom he asserts "are to blame for the coal situation" He charged these brokers were demanding twice and in some cases three times the normal price for coal.
