Number Of Patents

Washington, May 10--The Ameri-
can government finds itself under a
revived patent treaty with Germany
faced with the necessity of paying
royalties which it is estimated may
reach $25,OOO,O00 to the Krupps firm
on patents based on discoveries by
American engineers, Thomas S Mill
er, alien property custodian, declared
today.
Miller said that 200 German patents
have been filed here since 1919, none
of which can be touched by his office.
At least eight of these pa s deal

Hundreds of Millions Bel
Taken Out of
Trade
another Plan
President National Asso-
citation Speaks at An
nual Meeting
IRY AsaocIased Pressl


White Sulphur Springs, W. Va,
May 1O.-Hundreds of millions of
dollars needed in the usual channels
of trade will be tied up for three
years if the house soldier bonus bill
becomes effective, said Thomas b.
McAdams, president of the American
Bankers association, speaking here
today before the executive council of
the association.
The bill, which has passed the
house, Mr.. McAdams said, places
upon the banks the burden of financ-
ing such cash advances as may be re-
cevied by the individual soldier.
"While the banks are not obligated
to discount the soldiers note secured
by his participation certificate" he
said, "yet failure to do so will un-
questionably submit the individual
institution to a charge of being un-
willing to cooperate with the gov
ernment and the soldier. On the 9th
err hand, if these advances are made
many of them will have to be carried
as past due for a period of three
years, when the government agrees
to reimburse the banks for advances
made. ,,r''
"We cannot lightly consider in
Ecreasing the debt of our people ovel
five times the amount of the tota
indebtedness of the government priol
to the war;" he continued, "and con-
gress has no right to put the ire
mendous burden of from $5,000,O ,OOO,
900 to $4,000, 100000 upon our peopls
without at the same time making {
specific provision for the retirement
of the obligation.
"If, however, this, be burder
which should properly be assumed by
the American people, then we shoult
as loyal Americans meet the issue a
this time and raise, through a def
mite form of taxation, sufficient sums
of money to provide for the paymen
of the obligation within some rea
sonable time limit"
Banks Should eB Cautious.
Mr.. McAdams also outlined tn
work which is being done by bank
to protect themselves against crimi
nails. This, he said, consists largel.
of educating the banker, himself, St
that through contributory negligenc
he will not make it easy for fraud
to be perpetrated.
The policy of the federal reserv
system during the period of nation
wide price deflation was heartily en-
dorsed by Mr.. McAdams. The de
clines were despite, rather than be
cause of, the federal reserve system
he said, and were due to abnorma
demands, speculation and extrava
gance, rather. than to any definienc
or inelasticity in the circulating me
dium.

Says
WAR PR0F|TEERs
Be PROSECUTED

Washington, May 10-In a detailed
statement concerning the prosecution
of war fraud eases, prepared at the
request of the president, and trans
mitted to the house, Attorney Gen.
Daugherty declared that examinations
so far completed disclosed in each in
stance Sufficient indication that a
crime has been committed to warrant
submitting Them to grand jury"
Presented ON the eve of Repub-
lican caucus, called 10 consider a leg
islative program, including Repubh-
can resolution of investigation of
charges of alleged laxity in prosecu-
tions by the department of justice,
the attorney generals letter provoked
a partisan row, in which Representa-
tive Garret, the Democratic leader,
broadly intimated that it was intended
to smother the proposed investigation.
Representative Mondell, the Repub-
lican leader, to whom Mr.. Daugher-
ty's letter was sent by the president,
did not indicate in reply to question
on the floor as to whether it meant
the resolution, already given privileg-
ed status by the rules committee, nev-
er would be heard from again.
Taking issue with the attorney
general, Representative Woodruff, Re-
publican, Michigan, declared the for
mer was requested six months ago on
appeal to congress for half million
| dollars to clear up his wartime dock
ct, and that he never acted until Re-
publicans had ,assailed the department
| in the house. Mr.. Woodruff reiter-
ated that unless the attorney general
allowed the courts to decide the pend
ing case against the Lincoln Motor
Company "on its merits, l will move
his impeachment in the house of rep
resentatives."
The Michigan representative asser-
ted that a Republican congress, could
not "face the country in an election
unless it clears up war fraud cases
which smell to high heaven"
| Charging that "little or nothing"
had been done by the former admins

EUROPEGET Ting STRONG.
When She Comes Into
American Markets
Things Will Hum
(By Associated Press)


Birmingham, Ala, May 1O-Mer-
chants of the country were urged to
put on steam and prepare to handle
the business of tomorrow by Govern
or Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board in an address here today before
the Southern Wholesale Dry Goods
Association.
Many indications of improved con-
ditions both in this country and
abroad are apparent, he declared, and
business men should forget the mis-
fortunes of the past and make ready
for the opportunities of the future.
The situation today, Governor Har-
ding asserted, is in many respects the
reverse Of what it was at the end OF
1919, surplus goods having now gone
into consumption and there being a
marked reduction in the goods on the
merchants shelves"
Agriculture Is Encouraged.
"The fact that revival in. agricul-
ture," he said, "has come much sooner
than had been expected by those who
regarded the low prices of last sum-
mer as permanent has brought new
hope and courage to the agrlculturtl
districts and affords a basis for the
belief that there will, I'M due time,
be a distinct business improvement in
those districts" y
Whole the situation abroad is still
complicated, he said, there are many
indications of improvement, the ex-
changes of some of the leading Euro
pean countries have become far more
stable during the past year and the
money spent by the American tourists
now flocking to Europe will add the
ability of the foreigners to buy AM
erican goods.
"The past seven years" Gvernor
Harding continued, "have been full OF
momentous and stirring events and
merchants have had their trials and
their burdens to bear, as well as all
other classes. The worldwide reac-
tion which followed the abnormal ac-
tivities of the early postwar period
had a serious effect upon the business
of wholesale merchants, but it is graf
living to know how we'll they have
stood up under the strain, and in view
of the evidences of improvement which
are now apparent in all sections of the
country it seems to me that the time
has come when the enterprising busi-
ness man may we'll let others indulge
in lamentations and recriminations ov-
er the past and devote his energies to
working out the problems of today anc
preparing for the business of tomor'
rw.
"Remember that this country OF
ours has never failed to demonstrate
it's tremendous power and that the
processes of production, distributor
and consumption will be continuous a.
Ing as humanity endures. Let th'
merchants exercise their functions al
distributors. If business is dull, sent
out your travelling men; use printers
Iink-advertise literally but judicious
Ilv. and the business that you thus
create for yourselves will stimulate
production and by reducing the mum
ber of unemployed will add to the pur
chasing power of your customers"

ODD RIVER ACCIDENT
Fort Mill Citizen Recalls Incident of
Othsr Days at Nation Ford.

One of the older citizens Of Fort Mill
Der of his friends of an odd accident
that occurred many years ago at the
old Nation ford on the Catawba river
between Fort Mill and Rock Hill.
"A North Carolina mountaineer" said
he, travelling with his wife and baby,
in 4 two-hoNse wagon, was on the
way TO some point in this state. The
party reached Nation ford early one
night and Notwithstanding the fact
that the man was unfamiliar with the
ford and the river was considerably
swollen he decided to try to cross.
He drove in and was getting along
AN right it seemed until the wagon
had passed midstream. Then the
horses became frightened at d train
passing over the railroad bridge 4
short distance below the ferry. In
spite Of all he could do Unlocked
as if the wagon would be upset in
the river, SO the man jumped from his
seat to go to the horses's heads to try
to quiet them. About that time the
horses gave a lunge and tilted the
front end Of the wagon upward in
such way that the body slid off into
the stream, with the woman and
child still in it. The man heard his
wife scream, but before he could go
to her assistance the body of the
wagon had 'floated off downstream,
carrying in it the woman and child.
The man made every effort to reach
his wife and caild, but the wata: was
too deep below the railroad bridge
for him to follow them. The only
thing he could do was to listen to his

IN surprisingly; but she fell asleep
almost the instant her thirst had been
alIayed. Thorne laid her upon blan-
ket and covered 4,er. The men ate
and drank. Gale lay down weary OF
limb and eye He heard the soft
thGlnp of hoofS, the sough of wind in
the cactus-then no more.
Day dawned with the fugitives IN
the saddle. A picketed wall of cac-
tus hedged them in, yet the Yaqui
made a tOrtuOus path, that, zigzag as
1t might, in the main always headed
south.
The Yaqui, If not at fault, was yet
uncertain. His falcon eyes searched
and roved, and became fixed at length
at the southwest, and toward this he
turned his horse. The great, 1uted
saguaros, fifty, sixty feet high, raised
columnal forms, and their branching
limbs and curvhg lines.added a grace
TO the desert II was the lOw-bushed
cactus that made the toll and pain Of
travel. Yet these thOrny forms were
beautiful.
In the basins between the ridges, to
right and left along the floor of low
plains the mirage gllstened wayered,
faded, vanished-lakes and trees and
clouds. Inverted mountains hung
suspended in the lilac air and faint
tracery of white-walled cities.
At noon Yaqul halted the cavalcade.
He had selected a field of bisnagi cac'
tus for the place of rest. Presently
his reason became obvious. With long,
heavy knife he cut off the tops Of
these barrel-shaped plants. He
scooped out soft pulp, and with stone
and hand then began to pound the
deeper pulp into juicy mass. When
he threw this out there was little
water left, sweet, cold water which
man and horse shared eagerly. Thus
he made even the deserts fercest
growths minister to their needs.
But he did not halt long. Niles OF
gray-gretn spiked walls lay between
him and that line of ragged, red lava
which manifestly he must reach be-
fore dark. The travel became faster,
straighter And the glistening thprns
clutched and clung to leather and
cloth and flesh. The horses reared,
snorted, baked, leaped-but they
were sent on. Only Blanco Sol, the
patient, the plQdding, the indomitable,
needed no goad or spur. Mercedes
reeled In her saddle. Thorne bade
her drink, bathed her face, supported
her, and then gave way to Ladd, who
took the girl with him Oil Torres

noon saw Thorne Nreeling in his saddle,
and then, wherever possible, Gales

Then they were all outside in the

was lifted upon White Woman;
Thorne climbed aStrlde Queen; Jim

That sweet and tragic picture etched
It's cruel outlines into Gales heart. He
waved his hand and then tiercely
leaped into the saddle.
Blanco Sol stepped out.
Before Gale stretched a line OF NOV

Finally he decided to go back up
