IMPORTANT CHANGES
NRA|LROAD POLICY
THE |. c.. G.. TO MAKE RATES
WHICH WILL ALLOW RAIL.
ROADS REASONABLE RE.
TURN ON VALUE OF PROPER
TY.

Washington, March 1.-Two i'm.
portant changes in government poll.
cy towards the nations railroads
became effective today.
The section of the transportation
act fixing six per cent as the return
on railroad properties which rail.
roads are entitled to earn under in
terstate commerce commission regu.
lations expired today: Also with to.
day there expired the period during
which railroads which were control.
led by the government during the
war are entitled to ask government
loans to aid them in continuing op.
erations after return to private
management.
The six per cent return clause
generally called the guarantee pro
vision," Is superseded today by the
transportation act provisions which
hereafter require the interstate
commerce commission to make rates
that will give railroads a treason
able return on the value of property
used in transportation" The COM
mission is expected therefore to de.
fine for itself what earnings consti.
tute reasonable return and to make
rates accordingly. The subject of
the definition Of reasonable return
has already been taken up formally
by the commission for the purpose
of securing arguments from rail-
roads and interested parties to pro-
ceed before it in relation to. rate
regulation.
Applications from roads desiring
the loans have been pouring in on
the commission jim considerable
numbers during the last few days,
in the endeavor to get in before
the limitation begun. Among roads
asking for monetary aid today were
the Chicago, Peoria and st. Louis
which sought $1,ooO,ooo for new
equipment and repairs, and the
Memphis, Dallas and Gulf which
asked $246,7s2, half of which is to
be used for new equipment and the
balance for improvement to its
line. There are also in the files of
the commission, it is understood, a
number. of applications which will
be made public after being record.

LLOYD GEORGE
MAY QUIT OFFICE
HINTS HAVE BEEN CURRENT
IN POLITICAL CIRCLES IN
LONDON FOR SOME TIME.
NO PUBLIC THREAT TO RE-
SIGN YET MADE

London, Mar. 1.-Premier Loyc
George has thus far made no public
threat to resign, but he has done sc
definitely to Austen Chamberlain
and other Unionist leaders. His ac'
ton is in the nature of a protest
against the tactics that have beer
employed to undermine his power
in the coalition and in parliament.
If the prime minister presents hit
resignation, it will merely be per
sonal resignation, and not the
resignation of the government.
The prime minister's threat OF
resignation has been the politica.
sensation of the day. Hints Of Lloyd
Georges resignatin have been cur.
rent ever since Sir George Young.
er, head of the Conservative party
organization, engineered revolt on
some so "die hard" Tories against
the premier during the latter's alb.
sence at the Cannes meeting.
One outcome of the revolt was a
practical split in the coalition, and
public abandonment of the socalled
coupon system under which
candidates, whether Conservative OF
Liberal, entered the electoral con-
tests under united banner.
The attitude of the ''die hards" is
that they decline to recognize Lloyd
Georges leadership unless they are
allowed to dictate the policy OF
their coalition, which would include
restoration of the legislative veto to
the house Of lords and a protective
tariff.
The prime minister is said to
have threatened to resign when ne
returned from Cannes, but was dis
suaded by Austen Chamberlain.
Since then disintegration in the
coalition has proceeded rapidly, a
large body of the Conservatives
showing disposition to support the
revolving element. At the same
time, recent bye-elections, in which
the government candidates were de-
feated, tended to show that the
country was completely out OF
sympathy with the coalition, while
the Labr party and the Asquithian
Liberals. who opposed the coalition,
are constantly gaining strength.

LEGION MEETING
Committee Appointed to Secure
Club Room.

SCnlmltIce APPoineCo ~
Club Room.
At the meeting last evening of the
American Legion, plans were gotten
under way to secure suitable club
room for the Abbeville post. The
members also discussed and agreed
to support and promote the Ada
Jones show which will be in Able
vile on the night of March IA. A
very favorable contract has been
signed and the proceeds Of the en-
tertainment will be used to furnish
the proposed club room. Various ad-
vertisins schemes were discussed and
a. committee, consisting Of John Lo-
max, G. A. Neufer. and D. H. Sui
|livsan, to be known as the barrase
throwers, was appointed to put them
into execution.
The committee on club room is
= =. J. q
composed of Wallace Harris, G. A.
Neuffer and Arthur Rosenberg. This
committee is as instructed to have
definite proposition to submit next
Thursday night, which is the next
meeting date. G. C. Swetenburg, W.
Joel Smith and Frank McNeill were
appointed by. Commander Cheatham
to assist Mr.. Verchot in handling va
rious details in connection with the
Ada Jones show. Miss May Robertson
was prevailed upon to accept the
! craftsmanship ofa committee of wom'
en- to aid the Legion in putting the
show over.

NEW BONUS PLAN
GIVEN THOUGHT
CASH FEATURE MAY BE CHANG.
ED-EFFORT BEING MADE TO
WORK OUT SCHEME PROVID-
ING ISSUANCE OF CERTIFIc-
ATES-COMMITTEE AT WORK

Washington, Mar. ILLUMINATION
of the cash feature of the soldiers
bonus bill, but under a plan which
would enable former service men to
obtain funds from banks on adjusted
service certificates Immediately after
they were issued is under considera-
ton by majority members Of the
house ways and means committee as
a possible solution of the bonus prob
lem.
This would make unnecessary any
heavy draft on the federal treasury
during the next two years while the
|refunding Of the $6,500,O00,O0O
short dated debt is in progress and,
it was said, would remove the funda-
mental cause of the differences in
congress and between the administra-
ton and congress oyer the bonus
question.
The task of working out the plan
was assigned today to a special sub
committee which was appointed by
what was described as Unanimous
consent" after the majority MEM
bers had failed to agree on any meth
ed of financing the cash payment.
Committee members said it was
not proposed to change the vocation
al bill. Some of them thought, how
ever, that the certificate feature
would be so attractive that a
great majority of the men would
elect that option Of the bill.
Under the plan now contemplated
the face value of the adjusted service
certificate would be equal to the sum
of the adjusted service pay of the
veteran Isl a day for domestic SER
vice and s1.25 day for foreign ser
vice less the $50 bonus paid at the
time of discharge) increased by 40
per cent. plus interest thereon for 20
years at the rate of Az per cent. a
year, compounded annually. The to-
tai face value thus would be approx
mately 1888 times the amount of
cash that veteran would have re-
ceived under the cash feature.
Immediately after the certificate
was received the service man could
obtain from bank an amount equal
to so per cent. of the total of the
adjusted service pay. If at the expir-
alton of three years the sum thus
obtained plus interest had not been
paid by the service men the bank
could make demand on the federal
treasury for the amount due. The
government thus would take over
and carry the loan.

The jury charged with the trial
of the case of The State against
Ward Thompson, indicted for as
sault with intent to ravish, was ont
when our Wednesdays issue came
from the press. The arguments in
the case were finished Tuesday af'
ternoon, and Wednesday morning
at 9. o'clock Judge Wilson delivered
his charge to the jury. considera-
ton Of the case began at 10 o'clock,
or shortly afterwards. - %
After the jury retired no word
came from it until the verdict was
announced Thursday morning. The
members Of the jury were in con.
tinuous deliberation for q period II
about twenty hours. Nothing has
come from the jury directly but It
is generally believed that the whole
debate was over the question Of a
recommendation to, mercy in the
case. To have found the defendant
guilty without such recommendation
would have meant death by electro
cution, while the recommendation
to mercy saved the life of the de-
fendant.
Thursday morning at about 6:So
the jury notified the sheriff that an
agreement had been reached in the
case, and as soon as possible the
Judge convened the court to hear

SENATE RAT|F|ES /
YAP AGREEMENT
FOUR-POWER PACIFIC PACT is
BROUGHT UP-BlTTERLY
FOUGHT DEBATE EXPECTED.
NO AMENDMENTS OR RESER-
VATIONS TO TREATY

Washington, Mar. 2.-Taking it's
first ratification roll call on the Sc
ries of international covenants ne
gotiated during the arms conference
the senate today ratified without
reservation or amendments the
treaty with Japan confirming Amer
lean cable and radio rights on the
island of Yap, the final vote, 81 to
%, representing a margif of seven
over the necessary two-thirds. The
80 Democrats present divided, 13
for ratification and 19 against,
while only three Republicans voted
in the negative.
AS soon as the result had been
announced the four power Pacific
treaty, the pivotal agreement Of the
arms conference series, was brought
before the senate for action. The
prolonged and bitterly fought de-
bate which is expected to .precede a
vote on it will begin tomorrow.
Ratification of the Yap treaty
followed an all day battle over re-
servations and amendments during
which dissatisfied senator's on the
Democratic side joined by few
Republicans sought unsuccessfully
to attach qualifications to the rati-
fcation resolution. A half dozen
proposals all presented by Demo-
Gratis were voted down successively
by overwhelming majorities.
Leaders of the various senate
elements disagreed as to the signi-
fcance of. today's action with re-
gard to the four power and other
treaties awaiting senate action. The
administration managers declared
that on subsequent ratification roll
calls they expected to lose very few
of the votes they commanded TO-
day, while the 'irreconcilables" pre-
dicted that at least seven and prob
ably more who voted for the Yap
treaty or were absent would vote
against the four power pact.
By a vote of 20 to Sd the senate
rejected an amendment by Senator
Pittman (Democrat) of Nevada
proposing that the United States
should be "'exclusive judge of
whether the radio service maintains
by Japan on Yap island is adequate.
The amendment would have applied
to a provision of the treaty which
permits establishment Of an Ameri-
can wireless plant on the island not
only in the case an efficient" SER
vice is not provided by Japan.
Fpur Republicans, Senator
Borah Of Idaho, France of Mary
land, johnson Of California, and
Norris of Nebraska, voted for the
amendment, and five Democrats
Senators Underwood Of Alabama,
Dial Of South Carolina, Myers Of
Montana, Pomerene Of Ohio, and
Williams Of Mississippi voted
against it. T.
