Government to Take
Inventory of Printing Plant

Washington, April 8.-The division
of the bureau of engraving and print
ing engaged in the production of bank
notes, bonds and postage stamps will
be closed toight for an indefinite
period to take an inventory of the
plant from which James l.. Milmeth
and % chiefs, superintendent and
foremen were removed by presiden-
tial order one week ago.
Hints also were given that during
the closing the bureau would further
be reorganized or "Hardingized," as
one official put it. The bureau employs
5000 and it is estimated that 1900
will be affected by the closing. Of
ficials said the closing is to aid in tax
ing an inventory, repairing machinery
andto issue new steel plates, such as
are used in printing currency. The old
plates are so worn that counterfeiting
is easy, they said

New York Wins
Annual Contest

The North and South met in debate
in the University chapel last night
and the North won. The judges de-
cision was four to one in favor of the
New York university team over the
University of South Carolina repre-
sentatives.
The University of South Carolina
team, debating the affirmative of the
query, was composed of George II.
Wittkowskv and Edwin H. Folk while
the New York university arguers were
Alexander Lieberman and Donald l..
Brown. The query under discussion
was, Resolved, That the principle of
the closed shop in American indus
try is justifiable."
The New York debaters in their
victory last night duplicated the per
Torrance of the South Carolina team
last year, when w. G. Mann and Jo-
seph Horowit2, representing the
South, invaded New York and there
won a unanimous decision over the
arguers from the hall of fame institu-
tion.
The Northern victory last night
evens the series between the two insti-
tutions, the third contest being sched-
uled to be held in New York next

WILL NOT WRECK
CIVIL SERVICE

washing ton, April Amy Sinten-
tion by President Harding to impair
the operation of the civil service law
was specifically lisclaimed today af
ter the presidents recent bureau of
engraving dismissals had again been
the target of Democratic attacks in
the senate.
The intention of the chief execu-
tive, it was said by officials in his
confidence, was not in any sense to
break down the spirit of the letter of
the civil service regulations, but rath-
er to improve the efficiency of gov
ernmental machinery under those
regulations.
The president was said to take the
position that as head of the govern
ment he is responsible for efficient
governmental administration. If
there is anything in the civil service
that tends to tie the hands of the ex-
ecutive, it was said, it will be looked
into but without any effort to UNDER
mine or attack the civil service sys-
tenn.
1t also asserted that there is no in
tention at present of changing the
method of selecting postmasters un-
der presidential appointment. The
system under which the present ad-
ministration is working, that is one
of taking one of the three highest
undre competitive examination, is re-
garded by the White House as giving
on the whole fairly good satisfaction.
The administration recognizes that
there is considerable criticism in
some quarters over the present meth
cd of selecting postmasters, however,
and officials suggested that if there
was too much irritation the president
might be forced to withdraw some
postmasters from under the modified
civil service plan.
An alternative has been suggested
it was added, for the president in
case the irritation increased to with
draw the first, second and third class
postmasters from the civil service
where they are placed by executive
order and to have persons desiring
appointment as postmaster take a
civil service examination upon recon-
mendation of their congressman sc
that postmasters could be named
from this list.
1t was made clear, however, that
the administration had no intention
of abandoning the present system.

CREENVILLE NEGRO
IS ELECTROCUTED

Will Hood, young negro, was cleo
trocuted at the safe penitentiary yes
terday shortly before noon, paying
the supreme price without a protest.
Hood was led into the death chamber
by penitentiary guards at Hap
o'clock and three minutes and so sec
onds after the current had been turn
ed on he was pronounced dead by
DR.. r. T. Jennings, penitentiary ply
sician.
Hood came into the death chamber
chanting "Going Home to Die no
More" When asked by Col A. K
Sanders, superintendent of the peni
tentiary, if he had anything to say,
the negro replied that he had moth
ing to say and resumed his chanting
Hood was convicted of killing G..
w. Smith, a night watchman at Poe
mill, last fall and sentenced to die.
His sentence was stayed by an ap-
peal to the supreme court, but the
court refused to grant him a new
trial and he was resentenced at the
last term of the criminal court in
Greenville to die April 7.
Abraham Williams, the Orange
burg negro, who was also under SEN
tence of death yesterday, was grant
ed temporary reprieve by the gov
ernor during the morning. The
death sentence against Williams will
be committed to life Imprisonment as
soon as the pardon board submits it's
recommendations Governor Cooper
has announced in case the board rec
ommends a Communication. The board
will recommend a communication, it is
understood.
Cliff Hawkins, the white man from
Greenville who was under sentence
of death also for yesterday, was not
electrocuted, as Judge Mauldin has
granted an order staying the sentence
pending an appeal for a new trial on
the grounds of after-dscovered evil

COLUMBIA TO HAVE
RADIO STATION

The board of directors of the cham
Der of commerce at it's monthly meet
ing last night unanimously adopted a
motion to begin Immediately a drive
Tor $4,000 to establish radio broad
casting station for Columbia, the sta
tlon to be established at the Univer-
Sity of South Carolina and to be
maintained and operated by the Uni
versity
This action by the board followed
the appearance of Prof. A. G. Carson
and Sol Kohn in behalf of establish
ing the station. 1t was emphasized
that action must be had at once as
Greenville is after station to reach
every point in the state and Column
bla, 1T was pointed out, should be
first and not second.
Under the plans as outlilIed by
Professor Carson the station would
have sending capacity of 800 miles
at the minimum and would not only
reach every point in the state, but go
INTO North Carolina and Georgia
Every individual could have radio
receiving outfit at small cost and
thus receive news of all kinds out of
Columbia. The advertising value of
the broadcasting station would be in
itself will cost about $4,000, but the
other expenses make $1,000 neces-
Sary.
After the station is erected the uni
versity will maintain it, Professor
Carson said. He also said the uni
versity would have receiving sta
tlon within the next few weeks at the
most and that the public would be
invited to hear the concerts over this
receiving radio in LeConte college.
Professor Carson spoke of the grow
ing popularity of the radio and de-
clared that it was remarkable what
could be done with from $50 to $1OO.
He said several young Columbians
had manufactured their own outfits
without any material cost whatever.
A large number of Columbia people
are having radio receiving outfits in
stalled and the demand. for these out
fits is far in excess of the supply

SEMENOFF LAUGHS
AT HARBIN COURTS

New York, April 7.-Gen. Gregorie
Semenoff, ataman, or chieftain of
Cossacks, enjoyed hearty laugh to-
day-the first since the sheriff of
New York county surprised him with
an order of arrest last night-at the
expense of the courts of Harbin,
Manchuria.
The terror of red battalions," as
he likes to be called, apparently
thinks no more of the Harbin courts
which are said to have returned a
judgment of $478,578 against him,
than he does of Nicolai Lenine.
81 know nothing of this Yoroveta
Home and Foreign Trading company
which charges that l stole their goods
at Chita in Trans-B -Baikalia and that
they obtained judgment against me
in Harbin," he said today
"The courts of Harbin-I can not
believe you are serious" he said to
his attorney, then threw back his
head and laughed long and loud
"These Harbin courts-they are like
the wind-her now and gone tomor-
row." and he snapped his fingers.
"Who is Yoroveta?" he asked. 81
never heard of him. Where is the
proof that stole these goods at
Chlta z"
Thus General Semenoff defended
himself in an interview at the offices
of his attorney. He had just re-
turned from the Office of Peter B. o.
ney, referee in bankruptcy, where his
wife had given testimony regarding
their financial status.
Madame Semenoff, formerly Helen
Viktorovana, reputed cousin of the
former Gar Nicholas, testified that
she and the general were married in
August, 1920. They left Russia with
limited funds and wardrobe and
would have been unable to get this
far had not their friend, M. Aivazoff,
of Vancouver, B. c., advanced the
funds, she added.
General Krupsky and his brother,
Nicholas, friends of the Cossack, also
testified. They were questioned in
connection with the vast fortune the
general is reported to hold.
George said he was a colonel and
former military attache to the Rus
sian embassy in Paris. Neither he
nor his brother, he testified, had any
financial relations with the general
and denied that they had been in
constant telegraphic and postal COM
munication with the general since his
arrival in America. There was some
talk about a mysterious treasure box,
but the brothers declared they knew
nothing of it. The general also de.
MED knowledge of the treasure.
General Semenoff will appear to-
morrow in the law Offices of Davis H.
Kahn, attorney of the receiver of
Yoroveta, for examination.

CAPTAIN TELLS OF
HORRORS in RUSSIA

Baltimore, April IA tale of fam
inc, brutality and other horrors was
related by Capt. Nj. l.. Hart of the
steamer Deepwater, which returned to
tins port today from Odessa, Russia.
Inc Deepwater was one of the Rus
sian rcliaf steamers which left here
in January.
Toward the end of February the
Deepwater reached Odessa and was
met at the docks by thousands of chill
dren. Practically unclothed and show
ing unmistakable evidences of starva-
tion, they swarmed about ready to
beg for food as soon as unloading
of the grain was begun, but only to be
driven away by Russian soldiers.
Captain Hart said those who resist
for 65 half starved stevedores to un-
load the ship by hand. Two of their
number were killed in luarrels among
themselves.
Captain Hart refused to allow any
of his crew to go ashore, but one night
two of the men slipped away. They
spent night of horror before they
were able to work their way back on
board, according to stories they re-
lated on their return. They told of
seeing men stood up against wall
to be shot by firing squad; of see
ing men, women and children drop
in the streets exhausted from hunger
and as a climax to their night of ad-
venture, they saw three trainloads of
dead being shipped out of the once
flourishing city to be thrown into
hole in the outskirts.
Captain Hart said the Russian peo-
pie had had their spirit broken by the
he !, Il t.1 l.. II
sian soldiery and were offering prac-
tically no resistance. The people be-
lieve the l. w. w. has conquered the
United States and that they are send
ing the grain over to them The peo-
rle as whole also believe that Boil
shevism has gripped the whole world
and that resistance is useless.

McDuff Lancaster is still sick.
Little Carrie Louise Gist, who has
pneumonia, is getting well. People
who think there is nothing good in
humanity ought to stay with the sick
a while and see the love and anxiety
that is manifested by the friends and
loved ones. Really, we do not know
how much we love each other until one
gets in trouble.
Rev. j. ID. Bowen, pastor Of the
Baptist church at Jonesville, preached
a fine sermon at West Springs church
Sunday afternoon.
Rev. Trogdon filled his regular ap-
pointment at Putman's Sunday. His
sermon was very interesting and help
full.

Paris, April Five persons were
killed today when airplanes on the
Paris-London aerial express route COL
lided over the village of Thielloy, 70
miles north of Paris, and crashed to
earth.
The dead are: Bruce Yale, a New
York exporter, and his wife, who were
homeward bound by way of England
in the French machine.
M. Bouriez, air passenger in the
French craft
Aviator Mire, pilot of the French
machine.
Mire's mechanician and the cabin
boy of the English machine.
The entire personnel of both ma
chimes except Pilot r. E. Duke of the
English craft met death, either in the
crash or flames that followed.
Duke, who was seriously injured
was still unconscious late tonight. The
cabin boy in his machine wore a suit
adorned with brass buttons. Late to-
night it was asserted that the Ameri-
can victims of the disaster had regis
tered at Paris hotel as Mr.. and Mrs.
Christopher Bruce. They are said
to have arrived in France on board
the steamer Empress of Scotland,
which sailed from New York in Feb
ruary on tour. Two women friends
were to have accompanied the Amer
leans to London but changed their
minds at the last moment on account
of the stormy weather prevailing.
London, April THE British air
plane which collided with a French
passenger liner in France today car
ried no passengers, only the pilot,
named Duke, and possibly a cabin
boy on board, according to authorita-
tive sources in London.
The British machine was one of
number operated daily in the London
Paris service for passengers, mail and
goods by three British and French
companies.
The first machine in the daily serv-
ice usually leaves London with the
morning newspapers about z o'clock
and is followed at intervals by others
until z o'clock in the evening. They
all leave from and arrive at Croydon
those equipped with wireless appa-
ratus are guided on their course.
