ED IN ACCIDENT.-LITTLE
GUESTS AT THEATER HURT
WHEN CEMENT SUDDENLY
GIVES WAY.

Pittsburg, Sept. 23.-Fifty chat
tering school children, most of them
less than IL years old, were mashed
in the lobby of the Strand, new
motion picture theater in the east
Liberty district late today, awaiting
admission to free show, when the
concrete floor cracked from end to

tonight. A dozen boys and girls
were unconscious when they were
dug from the powdery mass of
stone and cement, Some were bleed

Physicians at the Pittsburg hos
pital rendered first aid to the injur-

Victims who escaped grave injuries
were permitted to go home.
The crash and cries of the fright

MILLION DOLLARS
PAID TO MEMBERS
THE SOUTH CAROLINA COTTON
GROWERS ASSOCIATION PUT
OUT APPROXIMATELY $780,
600 A DAY LAST WEEK IN
ADVANCE.

Columbia, Sept. 24.-The South
Carolina Cotton Growers Coopera-
tive association has paid over ST.
100000 to its members in advance
officials of the association said last
night. An average of approximately
100000 a day was paid out last
week and the volume of cotton COM
ing is expected to materially increase
this week.
One railroad brought SO carloads
of cotton to Columbia Saturday for
the association. This cotton came
from points in the state in which
the association has no subsidiary
warehouses. Columbia is one of the
three concentration points, the other
two being Greenville and Spartan
burg. The association has subsidiary
warehouses over the state in which
much other cotton is being stored.
Heavy incoming shipments were re-
ported from the associations con-
centration warehouses at Spartan
burg and Greenville Saturday also.
The greater bulk of the deliveries
up to this time of course has been
from the lower part of the state, but
deliveries are expected to pour in
from the upper part of the state dur
ing the coming week.
The distribution of over S1,000,-
900 in the lower part of the state
should have a decidedly stimulating
effect on business, officers of the as
sociation think. This money repre-
sents the first advance by the asso-
citation to members who have deliv-
cred their cotton. This payment was
made on the basis of IL cents a
pound on short staple and IS cents
a pound on long staple. Additional
payments will be made as the cotton
is sold out of the various pools into
which it is classed according to grade
and staple.
Up to this time the association has
had no complaints of violations of
the contract or attempted violations.
Loyal members of the association are
on guard in every county, officials
said, and prompt action will be tax
en- in the case any member attempts
to violate it.

CONGRESS CLOSES
FOR FALL FIGHT
SENATORS LEAVE FOR CAM
PAtGN GROUNDS WITH SELEC-
TICH OF MARSHAL UNSET
nED.-DYER ANTI-LYNCHlNG
BILL CARRIED OVER.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Congress
adjourned sine die yesterday with
leaders generally expecting a call
from President Harding for speci-
al ssssion November Is, preceding
the regular December session.
NE president was in attendance
today for a few minutes before the
final savels dropped to sign the u.s.
ual sheaf of eleventh hour bills. The
only important measure to get thru
on uhe last day was the deficiency
appropriation bill, the administration
Liberian loan bill and the Dyer anti
lynching measure going over until
the next session.
The most important nomination to
fail Of confirmation today when con-
gress adjourned was that of Joseph
w. Tolbert, Republican national COM
m!teseman for South Carolina, to be
United States marshal for the West
ern iSouth Carolina) district. Con-
frmstion had been opposed by Sena-
tor Dial.
Lacking in the adjournment today
were many of the popular features
often attending the death of a con-
ereasional session. The gallery
crowds were small and undemonstra-
tive and there were few floor wrang-
les. After disposing of the deficiency
appropriation bill the senate passed
a number of minor measures and lis
tened to a few set speeches, while
house members made one minute
addresses, mostly for publication
during the next few days in The
Conversational Record, and heard
Representative Blanton (Democrat)
of Texas defend Attorney General
Dsugherty and criticise Republicans
for alleged neglect in that respect.
Speaker Gillett, after a brief
speech wishing all members godspeed
and good luck, banged the adjourn
meut gavel promptly at 2 o'clock.
The senate adjourned two or three
rninstes later, having to stop the
clock briefly while necessary bills
weze signed for submission to Presl-
dans Harding, waiting in his room
of the senate chamber.
A few political speeches marked
the closing hours Of the session-the
secoad Of the Sixty-seventh con-
greas. Representative Mondell, Re-
publican leader in the house, and
Senator Smoot, in the senate, prais-
ed the dominant party's record,
which was attacked in brief speeches
by Senator Harrison of Mississippi
and NcKellar Of Tennessee, Demo
crsta Leaders and rank and file now
go to the country" on the record
entering the fall campaign. Trains
and automobiles leaving Washing,
ton tonight carried scores of con-
gressmen released for the campaign

PLAN CONFERENCE
FOR NEAR future
BRITISH AND AMERICANS TO
HOLD PARLEY.-QUESTIONS
OF PROHIBITION NAYY'S {,
ACTS AND NEAR EAST TO BE
DISCUSSED. .'-

Washington, Sept. PA number
of important international problems,
including the activities of the prohi-
bition navy and perhaps the question
of the Near East disturbances, are
to be discussed here in the very near
future between representatives Of
the American and British govern
ments.
Coincidently with the adjournment
of congress, leaving President Hard
ing to devote greater attention to
foreign relations, and with the re-
turn of Secretary Hughes from Bra
zil, Sir Auckland Geddes, the Brit
ish ambassador has come back to
Washington from his summer en-
bassy quarters at Bar Harbor, Me-,
and is understood to be prepared for
a series of conferences with Ameri-
can officials early next week.
The intimation is given in official
quarters that the situation in the
Near East is of such widespread con-
Germ that it scarcely can be mention
ed in these discussions. So far as is
known, there is no intention on the
part of the British government to
appeal to America to participate in
physical measures in Asia Minor and
European Turkey, but at the same
time the British are said to feel that
they have a right to expect at least
the moral support of this govern
ment in so much of the British pol
lev as involves keeping the Dardan-
elles open to the world. In British
quarters it is declared that in the
Paris peace negotiations America
fully supported the decision to in
ternationalize the stats and other
declarations of purely American pol
icies touching China, Mesopotamia
and other sections of the world, all
declaratory of the "open door," are
regarded in British circles as laying
down principles in accord with the
British Dardanelles policy.
The activities of the American pro
hibition agents involving seizure of
British ships outside the three mile
limit have reached stage where it is
indicated they will no longer fail to
receive treatment automatically. The
British government is expected to.
seek at once to come to-some under
standing with the state department
On that subject. Canadian pressure
for change of policy is becoming
very urgent, nearly a dozen vessels
under dominion charter having been
seized or searched outside of terri
Sorial waters.
There also are a number of feat
res of the new tariff law which are
looked upon abroad with apprehen-
sion, and representations in connec-
ion with them are expected to come
to the state department from sever
Il foreign governments in the near
future. :,

Chicago, Sept. 24.-There will be
no protest by the railway shop craft
against the form of the order in the
Injunction case against the strikers
Donald R. Richberg, attorney for
the unions, announced tonight.
AS a result. it was expected Fed
eral Judge Wilkerson will accept
the proposed order drawn up and
presented to the court last week by
the government. This would mean
there would be no modification OF
the present temporary restraining
order.
Mr.. Richberg stated he would
raise no objections to the form OF
the restraining order but would
withhold all action until he appeals
Judge Wilkerson's decision to the
circuit court of appeals next month
on the grounds that the district
court did not have the power to
issue such an injunction.
The case will come up in district
court tomorrow simultaneously
withhearing before the railroad lab
or board of petition by the signal
men for an income in wages. The
wages of the signalmen were out at
the same time as those of the shop
men, but the former decided not to
strike when 5hey were promised a
rehearing on the decreases.
Richmond, Va. Sept. 24.-The
ranks of the striking shopmen OF
the Chesapeake & Ohio lines will be
broken at 7 o'clock tomorrow morn
ing when the first contingent re-
turns to work under the settlement
