They lived together all last winter
without his suspecting her negro ex-

born in Washington. that her father

BUS CONDUCTORS WEARING
BADGE TELLING NAMES
Say They Aid Passengers Who Wish
to Be Courteous.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-The neat
green and gold badges on the breasts
of the Fifth Ave. bus conductors are
beginning to have an effect. They an
nounce the name of each employee
with the conspicuous prefix Mr."
Now that the novelty is beginning to
wear off the normal effects may be
judged.
Its this way" explained one of
the conductors the other day, the
and the one who wants to kick, both
find the name plate convenient. Peo-
pie use conductors names all sorts of
ways. One will ask: VIII you please
let me off at the next corner, Mr..
Jones?' Then there is the woman
who wants to ask a favor, such as be-
ing let off in the middle of block
near her front door. She begins by
saying, Mr.. Jones, may I trouble you
just this once to stop etc. The pas
senger seeking a privilege usually
makes sure of your name before be-
ginning. He often repeats it again
at the end of the question, besides.
The passenger with a grievance
catches on TO the name plate right
away. If he is particularly mad he
drops the Mr. See here, Jones' he
says. III report you for this Then
maybe he takes a pencil and writes
down the name before your eyes.
What proportion Of them mention
the name? Just now 1 should say
there was about one to every busful,
say fifty passengers. But the regu-
lar customers are beginning to catch
on. After they get to know US they
usually smile or nod. Later they will
wish us Good morning, or a Good
night Since the name plates have
come in they add our names, Good
morning, Mr.. JONES' and more of
them are doing it every day"

Stocks showed a strong tone in the
general list in the first hour, under
the leadership of the motors. especial
" Studebaker. The latter reached a
new high on the recovery at 1865,

CABINET BACKS,
LLOYD GEORGE
British and French Govern
ments Stand Solidly Behind
Polices of Premiers

London, Aug. 10 (By the Asso-
ciated Press. - Prime Minister
Lloyd George now has secured the
full support Of his cabinet for
whatever policy may have been de-
cided upon by the British delegates
to the conference, which has been
considering the German financial
question while the French cabinet
also has given Premier Poincare
a free hand. Thus, although the
full conference has not yet formal
ly rejected the proposals whereby
France would consent to a mora
torium for Germany, a deadlock
seems to have been reached which,
in the opinion Of observers. will
only permit the winding up of the
conference when the allied states
men meet tomorrow.
Immediately after today's cabi-
net council Lloyd George reported
the position to the king and then
notified the officials Of the Eisted-
ford that he hopes to be in Wales
Saturday to attend the annual
Welsh festival.
It is still considered possible
that tomorrow's meeting Of the
conference will produce some new
development to prevent a sudden
termination and on the French side
tonight the idea seemed to be that
| the experts committee would be en-
Joined to reconsider their decisions.
But it was admitted that anything
of this nature would be only pro-
visional, and that still another
allied conference will be required
before any substantial settlement is
possible.
The members of the French del
egation tonight were confident OF
an agreement. It is understood
this was NJ. Poincare's own view OF
| the situation. The French spokes-
man said tonight that NJ. Poin-
care and Lloyd George were stand
ing nearer together since the cons
1 ference lIlSl llldiS 1ioo oSSh SoAAi
monty supposed outside. This
sharp differences had been among
the experts. and not between the
two premiers. The spokesman
added that the experts would be
tcld their reports were incomplete
and vague and said they would be
asked to work out the details with
greater precision.
The unofficial French opinion is
that any arrangements which are
made will be provisional. and that
a definite settlement must be at
tempted again by the allied gov
ernments later on. The Italian del
egation has been informed that
Lloyd George is preparing some
additional proposals with a view to
meeting French aims.

Citizens Condemn
Beaufort Sheriff
outspoken Objection to Fa-
voritism in Treatment of
l. Prisoner

Beaufort, Aug. 10.-A rnass
meeting that crowded the court
house tonight voted to instruct the
chairman to appoint a committee Of
three citizens to collect, prepare
and present evidence against Sher-
if J. H. Bailey before the grand
jury. This grew out of his refusal
and failure to place Ralph E.
Brown in jail as directed in the
coroner's commitment, which found
tat the inquest yesterday that
Brown killed T. P L. Bettison. The
vote was unanimous except for a
brother of Brown.
The sheriff kept the prisoner at
his home while the law requires he
be put in Jail. Early in the after
noon over 100 citizens met and sent
committee to the sheriff asking
him to meet with them and ex-
plain his action This he refused
to do. Solicitor Murdaugh was
on his way from Hampton and the
meeting was adjourned to the even
ing. The solicitor was present
I then and advised with the meeting
las to the sherif's action. Just ha-
fore the evening meeting the sher-
if placed his prisoner in jail, but
again refused to attend the meet
ling. Condemnation was expressed
at the fact that the sherif's at
torney and avisor is the attorney
for the defense in the case against
Brown.
Condemnation of the city govern
ment for alleged leniency toward
Brown in former difficulties was
general, and motion was carried,
So to 3s, asking for the resigna-
| tion Of the three commissioners,
over two-thirds refraining from
voting on this issue, owing in part
Ito the absence of the mayor. Many
women attended and voted. In
tense feeling was manifest in the
applause and speeches but the bess
Of order was maintained. The
committee sent to the sheriff was
Alan Paul, l.. II. Hall and Gus SAN
ders, county treasurer. Niels
christensen was chairman Of the
meeting and Alan Paul secretary.
J. H. Beilamy and William Atl-
man made the motion that car
ried. The solicitor has refused TO
consent to a request for bail for
Brown. S
In the news account sent out
yesterday it was stated that Betti-
SON was killed while seated. A
further examination of the testi-
mony shows that at the coroner
inquest no direct evidence was
presented to that effect. Brown
/ claims self defense in his request

Many Patients as Possible

Columbia, Aug. l--Supt. FREQ
C. Williams Of the State hospital
was instructed by the board OF re-
gents of that institution at It's
meeting yesterday to confer with
the judges Of probate throughout
the state and to ask them to con-
slider only those patients applying
for admission to the State hospital
who are dangerous or violent. The
board further instructed DR.. VIII
liams to parole all those patients
now in the hospital who can pos
sibly be paroled in order to relieve
the overcrowded condition OF the
institution and to leave free the
few vacant beds for emergency pa
tients.
Yesterday there were 2,44S pa
tients being cared for at the State
hospital and DR.. Williams says the
overcrowded condition grows more
acute each day.

the proposition? Have not the
people who live on unpaved streets.

the proposition Have not the
people who live on unpaved streets
an indisputable right to have the
same improvements and convenien-
ces that have been provided for
other citizens. and for which they
have been taxed for seven or more
years. Any fair minded man or wo-
man voter will Immediately, with
out argument, admit that it is only
fair to pave the streets for which
petitions have been fled or shall
be fled with City Council. It is a
matter Of equity and of giving to
others the rights and benefits to
which they are entitled, which we
have enjoyed for years and for
which they have been paying, in
past while we have enjoyed them.
Another co nsid a i n that
should have weight is the fact that
e. part Of the paving to be done
with the proceeds Of fhe proposed
bond issue is to connect the paved
streets Of the city with the paved
highways leading into the county.
On Nort}, Main and East Liberty
streets the paving stops short of
the city limits where the county
highways begin It is, necessary
that the hard paving be continu-
Gus from the center Of the city to
the end Of the paving in the
county. It would be incongrous to
have a gap between the paved
city streets and the paved county
roads, and the property owners
abutting ON these unpaved sections
of the two main highways leading
into the county are wiling to pay
two-thirds of the cost of the paw
ing.
A majority of the freehoIders
having already signed the petition
to Council requesting that the
bond election be ordered, it is not
probable that the vote on septem-
ber nth Will be adverse. but it is
just as well that the issue involved
be clearly understood in advance
of the election day
