GAS SHORTAGE
WEN EsDAY
-tt :
supt. Austin Explains Cause
of Gas Famine For Two
Hours
ditor sumter Daily Item:

Editor Sumter Daily Item:
Thinking that perhaps you
would like to know and would
advise the public through the col
un1ns OF your paper. why there was
no gas for couple OF. hours We'd
nesday, I am giving you an expla-
nation of the trouble we exper-
fenced.
In operating the gas plant we
make alternate blows and runs.
The blows raise the heat in the
machine after which gas is made
while making the run.
There is a ten inch valve in the
pipe between the gas machine and
the holder. and this valve has to
be. opened at the beginning Of each
blow and closed at the end of the
blow. before gas can be forced from
the machine TO the holder.
There is a yoke and two wedges
in this valve, there are hugs on each
wedge that carry the discs Of the
valve.
One Of these I1ss broke off and
dropped one of the discs and it
was impossible TO open or close
/ the valve.
/ This happened soon after the
men had started to make gas IN
the morning and put the large
machine out of commission.
We had to remove the valve
from the line and fire up the
smaller machine and before We
could get the valve out and the
fire into the little machine the sup
Iply of gas that we had in the
holder was exhausted and the
yafve on sthe city line had to be
fcFosed to keep the holder from
Icollapsing.
trust that this explanation viii
be sufficient to give the public so
that they viii understand that It
was beyond our power to control.
we are trying to give continuous
service and any interruption to the
service hurts us as much as 1t IN

Navy Roosevelt Set
Aside-Board Of In
quiry to Act

Washington, Sept. II. - The
Charleston navy yard viii not be
closed and for the present the status
quo in regard to employees viii
be maintained. Secretary DENLY an
nounced today.
Y BY direction of the president, the
secretary announced, board of ma
val officers will be appointed by
the latter to- investigate all shore
establishments of the navy with a
view to determining which should
be closed and which should be re-
atained.
Pending findings of the board
there will be no immediate discon-
ltinuance OF any Of the present MAJ
jor shore stations, the secretary
announced.
Secretary Denby's announcement
said:
.:It was announced at the navy
department. today that by direction
OF. the president board of naval
officers is to be appointed by the
secretary Of the navy for The pur-
pose OF making an investigation Of
Fall, shore, establishments Of the
navy with view to determining
what change. If any. should be rec-
commended 60 congress in the in
sterest of efficiency and economy.
.rhere will be no immediate dis
continuance OF any present ma
jor shore stations" 49, =
The immediate effect of this,
Secretary Denby said, would be to
keep the CharlsetoH gard open.
Acting Secretary Roosevelt some
weeks ago ordered the yard closed
gra adually. and subsequently ex-
.terded the date of the closing to
November l..
Secretary DENLY said today that
he and 9cting Secretary Roosevelt
were in perfect accord as to a poll
ICY concerning the future of the
naval shore stations, and it had
been determined that the appoint
nent of naval board to- go into
the whole question scientifically to
determine which should be closed,
was the best means OF meeting the
situation from ~tlre viewpoint oa
economy. ..., o.
~ Since Acting Secretary Roese-
velt;s order went out, Senator
Smith tsouth Carolina) appeared
several times at the White H0Gss
and personally asked the president
to keep the yard open. On one
occasion the senator said that he
had received assurances that the
yard would be Kept open aftes
which Secretary Roosevelt; instead
OF revoking his original order ex-
tended the time Of closing to Mo-
yenaber i. in order that the dis
missals might be made gradual. He
based this action ON the indus
trial situation which had resulted
in serious unemployment in Char
lesion.
9 Senator Smith (Demoera) OF
South Carolina, who led the effort
to prevent the closing Of the yard,
expressed much qualification over
Secretary Denby's order. Senator
Smith. after recent conferences
with President Harding and Mr..
Roosevelt. had conference early
in the day with Mr. DENLY and at
that time, it was said, expressed
satisfaction with Mr.. Denby's s
!course.

AGREEMENT ON
BONUS BILL
House and Senate Conferees
VIII Report Amended
Measure


on soldiers bonus bills reached an
agreement late today and it was
announced that the measure would
be reported tomorrow to the house.
1t will not be called up there, how
ever, until after the conference
report on the. tariff bill has been
disposed Of. which may be on
Wednesday or Thursday. After
the house acts the bonus will go
to the senate where also it is to be
put behind the tariff.
Four major changes were made
in the bill in conference. They
were.
ELIMINATION Of the Simmons
amendment authorizing the fnanc-
ing of the bonus out of interest
from the foreign debt.
? Elimination of the land reclama-
ton feature which, under the SEN
ate plan embodied in the Smith-Mc-
Nary reclamation bill, would have
involved an expenditure OF $780,
600,6G
The limiting Of time in which
veterans might fle applications for
bonus to January ]. 1928.
Acceptance Of the house provi-
sion fixing the amount to be adj
vanced for farm or home aid to the
amount of the adjusted service
credit increased by 25 per cent, in
place Of the senate plan Of amounts
ranging from 100 per cent. of the
adjusted service credit if the ap-
pIication we're made in 1928 to 140
per cent. if application were made
IN 1928 or thereafter.
No important change was made
in the adjusted service certificate
option with its provisions for plans
to veterans by banks in the next
three years and for government
loans thereafter. The vocational
training: aid option and the provi-
sion for cash payments to veterans
whose adjusted service credit would
not exceed $40 also were unchang-
ed.
Much of the three hours session
Of the, conferees was understood
to have been devoted to discus
sion of whipping the bill into such
a shape as would meet the publicly
expressed objections Of President
Harding. It was represented by
some of the Republican managers
that the measure probably would
have a better chance Of presidential
approval without the Simmons
amendment and the reclamation
option and, accordingly, those We're
voted out.
!; There still was no official infor-
nation as to whether Mr.. Harding
would approve the measure in its
present form but proponents be-
fieve he win while opponents are
firmly of the opinion that he viii
not. Owing to a promised fight
on the tariff bill conference report
in the senate it may be ten days or
two weeks before the bonus mea-
sure reaches the White House.
Two of the ten conferees-Sen-
ator Snoot (Repub1lcan OF Utah
and Representative Garner Demo
craft OF Texas voted against the
bonus as finally perfected. Sena-
tor Simmons Of North Carolina was
among those supporting the naea-
sure.
