ANDERSON MEN
TO STATE PRISON

Supervisor j. Mack King of Ander-
son county notified Governor Harvey
yesterday shortly before noon that he
would turn Walter L. Hayes and Ed
Wilson over to the epnitentiary. The
supervisor will bring them to Colum-
bia Monday. he told the governor.
Hayes and Wilson were convicted
of the killing Of Tom Frank Ramey,
tenant farmer in Anderson county
and sentenced to serve Is years in
the penitentiary. Supervisor King,
however, decided that he wanted to
keep them on the county chaingang.
This brought on flood of protests
from numerous people in Anderson,
the charge being made that the men
were being treated like guests rather
than prisoners on the chaingang.
The situation was put before Gov
ernor Harvey and it did not take him
five minutes to begin action. He ask
ed the supervisor to come to Colum-
bia SO they could thrash the matteor
out, the governor being determined to

whole case was gone over thoroughly
and Mr.. King asked that the matter
be held up until yesterday at noon.
Supervisor King called the govern
OF over the telephone and announced
that he would turn the men over to
the pcnitentiary. Mr.. King said he
had been deeply impressed with the
viewpoint of Governor Harvey and
realized that his duty to the state
and his county was such that he could
not retain the wo prisoners. Govern
OF Harvey expressed his hanks to
Mr. King for such stand for right
and law enforcement. The governor
was pleased that a veiy delicate stu

HUGHES PLANNING
new HUN TREATY
BY Hugh w. Roberts

Washington, ID. c., July 2S.-In or
der that Germany might play part
in adjudicating claims of Americans
based on the sinking by Germany of
the Lusitania the Harding admins
tration is negotiating new treaty
with Germany.
The fact was divulged today by
Secretary of State Hughes. He de-
clared opposition to to the bill of Sen
ator Underwood providing for the
appointment of an American COM
mission to adjust these claims on the
ground that such measure would
run counter to a new treaty in course
of negotiation.
Before the United States could per-
nit Germany to have word in pass
ing on American claims, it was neces-
sary that it negotiate new treaty.
The Versailles and the separate
treaty guaranteed to the United
States the right of adjusting these
claims and compensating itself out
of German funds held by the alien
property custodian. In these treaties,
Germany expressly agreed that the
United States should proceed with
out hindrance.
Despite existing treaties and the
agreement of Germany, Mr.. Hughes
says, that it would be unfair for the
United States to proceed alone. AS
a matter of fact the negotiation of a
new treaty will require considerable
time and according toSenator I'm
derwood today there is no certainty
that such treaty would be ratified.
The alien property custodian has
German property to the value of
$500 100000. American claims, barred
% the bone, will approximate that
amount. If the administration suf-
fers Germany to make additional in
roads, Am "ican claims can not be
satisfied. nator Underwood is anx-
ous that American claims be settled
and that the United States proceed
under existing treaties as conquer
ing nation rather than one which
doubts the authenticity of its victory
on the battlefield.
Il introduced my bill," Senator I'm
derwood said today, mot for political
purposes but if the administration,
Ito. .placate the German vote, defeats
| my bilf and proceeds to the negotia-
ton of a new treaty, politics will
certainly be involved. The German
vote may stand by the Republicans
but millions of Americans will stand
up and demand the reason why.
Germany, which sank the Lusi-
tania before the United States was
engaged in war, has no right to pass
on the justice of American claims" "
The Republicans, it is evident,
would postpone until after the cleo
ton the adjudication of the claims
under the guise of negotiating a new
treaty which may never be ratified

Jerry Moore

Jerry Moore, the famous South
Carolina club boy, of Florence county,
attended the commencement exercises
at Clemson college in June. Jerry

He is now engaged in teaching agri-

1t is doubtful if any club boy in
America, or in the world, has won
more fame than Jerry Moore, and the
club boys of the present should be
glad to now that Jerry has chosen
for his life's work position for which
his club training so effectively fitted
him.
The boys who are now engaged in
club work do not know what the fu-

EFFORTS DEVELOP
FOR CONFERENCE

Philadelphia, July %. - Efforts to
bring about an interstate joint confer

the soft coal strike were continued to-
day by certain influences, according to
leaders of the United Mine Workers.
who are here comforting with John l..
Lewis, their international president.
MIR. LAWS stated he had every reason
to believe such conference would
be called within few days.
The union leaders scanned with
much interest reports coming from the
central competitive fields of western
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Mich
igan on the attitude of the coal op-
orators. One leader said information
was drifting in that operators who
had been standing together against an
interstate conference "were breaking
up in spots" This, he said, was a
hopeful sign Of an early conference
What is looked upon as a rather i'm
rortant conference will be held tomor-
row with the presidents of all the dis
tricts in the central competitive fields.
President Harrington of Illinois min
crs, will be here and William Green,
international secretary treasurer, Is
expected.
1t was said the meeting will be de
voted to complete review of the situa
tion in the Middle West. 1t was also
stated Mr.. harrington will be asked
to explain what impelled him to call
special convention of the Illinois
miners one day and rescind the call
the next.
Mr.. Lewis said defn tcly TODAY
there would be no settlement in the
anthracite regions until an agreement
is reached in the central competitive
fields. When that is brought about,
he added, there will be settlement
in the hard coal region "forthwith."
The miners chief today refused the
request of the governor OF Michigan
to permit the production Of coal in

SETTLEMENT OF
STRIKE IS NEAR

Washington, July 28.-Proposals
for settling the railroad strike, drawn
up by President Harding and repre-
senting the conclusions reached by
him after the extended conferences of
the past 48 hours with labor leaders
and railway executives, will be pre-
sented to sepa cate meetings Of repre-
sentatives of the two groups next
Tuesday-the railroad managers
meeting in New York and the en-
ployee ENJOYS m Chicago.
Details of the plan or plans were
still withheld tonight, but President
Harding was said to feel that pros
poets We're bright for an early settle
ment of the controversy which has
threatened to retard seriously the
country's transportation system.
A major section in the presidents
settlement plan was understood to in
volve the seniority issue, which was
said further to be the only section in
the plan to have been identified as
among the controversial issues be-
tween the railroads and their work
men.
Another section would cOncede the
right of the strikers to a rehearing
before the railroad labor board on
the wage issue, and another would
hind the railroads to get up regional
adjustment boards, while fourth
would require abandonment by rail
roads of contracts with "outside'
shops for repair work.
President Harding was understood
to have suggested a compromise on
the question of seniority rights by
which all men hired since the strike
would retain the positions, the strik-
ers regaining their former privileges
so as to rank just behind the men
who did not walk out July /.
The strikers under the plan would
return to work at the scales set by
the board in it's decision of July ]
which precipitated the strike, but
without prejudice to either side when
the matter was brought up for rehear.
