PENSION RAISE
KNOCKED OUT
Old List To Receive Old Rate
And New List Gets None
AT All

Information has been received by
Capt. John A. Cobb, county ordinary,
that under a ruling of the attorney
general the increased pensions for
old soldiers will not be available this
year as intended by the legislature,
because Of a flaw in the law, and that
the new class of pensioners will not
receive any pensions whatsoever.
The old class will be paid the former
rate of $100 per month, instead of
$3.50 as was intended.
Capt. Cobb reports that under the
ruling, there will be only 6S names
on the Sumter county pension roll
this year, instead of the usual num-
Der of from 10 to 118. The new
cass of pensioners would have kept
the list up to the old number, filing
the list depleted by frequent deaths.

If you would be care-free and
stimulated with higher than one
half of one percent stimulation, go
tonight to the Rylander theater
where Oscar F. Hodge will present
the Neil o'Brien Super-Minstrels,
now on its tenth annual tour.
Never in the history of minstrelsy
has there been such a group of
"burnt cork" favorites assembled on
the same bill,with scenic production
that for elaborate and massive splen
dor has set standard not excelled
even by such pretentious speetacles
as the "Follies' and the Winter Gar
den attractions.
Neil, O'Brien, who today occupies
the enviable position of being the
only living creator and exponent Of
the highest quality of minstrel art
has given to theater goers a produc-
ton that simply revels in originality
of design. In the first part" par
ticularly, the drop" that is display
ed before the opening represents the
face of negro with the usual ex-
aggerated mouth, and when the drop
is raised it produces the effect of the
mouth opening, showing inside the
half circles of performers. This part
is entitled appropriately "The Mouth
Piece of Mirth and Melody" The
finale of the first part is minstrelsy
version of the Sextette from Lucia
by the entire company. Part two
includes in the customary olio "The
Sleepless Sleeper, or the Tipless
Porter" written by Neil O'Brien; Joe
Carroll and Pete Detzel in 'The
Sound Cure;' "The Highbrow
Masquerade" also written by Neil
O'Brien with ensemble numbers ar
ranged by Pete Detzel, There will
also be seen and heard the Ebony
College Quintette and Bell and Arliss
in Gust Songs" The finale in which
the entire company will appear is up
roarously funny travesty entitled
"Wood Alcohol or White Litenin'," in
four scenes, by Artemis Galloway.
The entire program has been ar
ranged and produced under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. O'Brien, with

IRISH CONSTITUTION
SPEEDED ON ITS WAY
Bonar Law Says Parliament
Can't Go Back on Treaty
With Ireland.

LONDON, Nov. 81 (Associated Press)
The House OF Commons tonight
without division passed the second read
ing Of the Irish constitution bill, after
a debate in a single sitting without
striking incidents.
That It has fallen to the lot of a
Conservative Government to pilot
through Parliament final legislative
sanction to measures granting Ireland
such complete autonomy Is one Of the
irpnies OF political fate. The Conserva-
tive party for two generations has stout

ernment to Ireland in even the mildest
form.

who represents John Burns's old con-
stituency, Battersea, on the ground that
the Irish treaty was signed under duress
and was, therefore, greater mockery
than was the act of union. The Com
motion, which was negatived without
division after receiving no support what
ever from any quarter of the House.
Premier Bonar Law moved the second
reading OF the bill and set the pace for
the House by the frank adoption of the
standpoint that. no matter what opin-
ions we're held. Parliament could not

Princess Murats opposition to the
match has been evidenced from the
first Although the bride is the daugh-

declared, however. that he would not
obey the caprice Of his mother even II It
meant passing his life as an office clerk
or salesman. When his family's legal
permission was solicited and refused he
filed a declaration Of his own RESPONSE
bility.
The family then obtained the appoint

times as a guardian--for him. As
Jerome has no fortune OF HIS own the
family decided that he be cut of from
family revenues and obtained court
order prohibiting him from borrowing or
lending money or mortgaging his event

guardian.
The family appealed to the news
papers not to mention the marriage. but
Jerome inserted advertisements in the
leading Paris papers. including The Neto

It Is said the Princess Murat and
other members OF the family notified
their friends that every member OF

COSGRAVE FORECASTS

William r. Cosgrave, President Of the

Erslkine Childers was inevitable and
added II fear there will be many more.
We do not want these executions and
would give anything to avoid them. but
there is no other course open. We have
tried to find other ways. but there IL
none. If the irregulars surrender their
arms, executions will cease. II they
come only five minutes before any exc
cution and say that they surrender. I
will gladly reprieve the condemned. We
only seek the peace and prosperity Of
Ireland; executions are a deterrent. not
a punishment. The next ten days will
see the trouble at it's greatest intensity.

leagues have been shot, 1t will make no

at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology to-day declared
that Sees claims are bosh.
Magnetism. Capt. See states, is

tation, but that is not new" said one
professor.
Capt. Sees claimed discovery was
made known In dispatch received from
San Francisco. where the captain Is
Government astronomer at the Mare ISL
ard navy yard. Capt. See announced
his discovery in lecture before the
California Academy of Sciences.
Discovery by Capt. See of the cause or
ma agnetism. which also was asserted In
the lecture, led to the finding Of defi-
mite connection between magnetism and
gravity. ne said, both due to invisible
ether waves travelling across the heav-
enly spaces with the speed OF light.
Capt. See. who has been doing re-
search work In magnetism and gravity
for forty years, said his theory was a
distinct development of Newton's law OF
gravitation. Magnetism, he explained, is
1000, 900 times more powerful than the
corresponding force Of gravitation.
Capt See demonstrated during his ad-
dress that small magnet, when sus-
pended by a thread near larger
one. is pulled bodily toward the nearest
pole of the larger magnet. Yet ne
showed that. while the nearer pole has
the greater power, the remoter pole or
the large magnet actually pulls back on
the opposite end of a magnetic needle
suspended by a thread about the center.
The result is to make the lines OF force

At the equator, therefore, the two
poles OF the earth's magnetism being
equally distant attract equally in oppo-
site directions. But at the poles the
needle stands on end and is pulled
downward bodily by the magnetic force.
BY an extension of the theory or the
earth's magnetism by Gauss. celebrated
German mathematician, In 1898, Capt.
See draws two conclusions: First, that
magnetism is due to waves, the rotary
motion of the ether particles being
about the lines Of force, which is also
confirmed by Faraday's experiment OF
the magnetic rotation of a beam OF po-
larized light (1845); secondly, as mag
netism is connected with gravitation by

lows that gravitation also is due to

"I'he Turks" continued DIR. Gates,

They are for an absolutely homogeneous

in Turkey One can well ask what is to
be the future OF the tremendous invest
1nent in American religious institutions
in the shape of these schools and col

The old Turkish Government encour-
aged the development OF our schools

cres of Christians. the old Government
did seem to realize that Christian mi
norities were essential to Turkey as be-
ing source of Its business and indus
try. The radicals at Angora now have
determined upon their complete expul-
sion and exclusion"
Ultimately. DR.. Gates believed, the
Turkish Government would see that
these minorities would have to return
for economic reasons. He said they had
now almost completely disappeared from
Asia Minor.
Turkey now maintains 1t must be
treated like any other nation, with COM
plete immunity in any treaty as to capit-

DR. Gates continued. The Allies,
think, might propose to test the Turks S
good faith by putting these stipuations
into the treaty, but for limited period,
and If within that time new Turkey
shows her good faith they might then
expire automatically"
