ROAD.
CASE COMES UP
FOR SETTLEMENT
Man Placed House, Well
and Orchard on Section
Line; Litigation on Since
Statehood

JAY-What is known as the ed
mondson road" controversy which has
been pending here since statehood, is
nearing n settlement, as believed by
officers here. The board of county
commissioners at its last meeting
rescinded their action taken Decem-
Der 5, by which they ordered the
section lines opened for public high
ways.
1t happened this way. Mack Ed
mondson filed his allotments in town
ship o. range "a and since there
were no surveys at that time no
one knew where the section lines
were. When statehood came. the
section lines surveyed, it was found
that he had placed his house, orchard
and we'll on section lines.
Section Line Not Opened.
1t so happened that the sections
intersected mis- orchard and improve
ments. Edmondson in September.
1908, presented the board of COM
missioners a petition signed by several
freeholders, asking that the section
lines not be opened and that he be
permitted to give a road on his own
land in lieu Of the section lines. His
prayer was granted.
The township board OF his town
ship with G. E. Francisco as road
overseer, at a subsequent date or
dered the section lines opened as
public highways. Edmondson resist
ed this move and procured a writ
Of injunction from County Judge
Hall, restraining the officers from
opening the lines. The matter got
into court, finally reached the su.
preme court, where Edmondson won.
The supreme court held that Ed
mondson was entitled to damages in
the event the lines were opened. The
appraisers duly appointed by the dis
trict court appraised the property
that would be damaged and made their
return showing no damages.
Section Line is Opened.
After the courts action new road
overseer, Bob jenkins, undertook to
open section lines. Judge Scales is
sued a restraining order, but the
same was violated and Edmondson's
fences cut Judge Brewster in June,
1920, ordered the section lines opened
and ordered the sheriff to assist in
opening up the lines, If necessary.
Most of the members of the Ed.
mondson family have their allotments
here. including that of Beulah Ed
mondson, now wife of Richard Croker,
former democratic chief, living in Ire
land. The family has more than 500
acres adjacent 10 the contested lines.
Much feeling has existed against
Edmondson in the community.
He now renews his offer 10 give
the county roads on his own land in
lieu of the section lines. and he pro
posed TO keep the roads in a pass
able condition without cost TO the
county.
Edmondson has been represented in
these matters by Campbell, Leach

Pensacola to obtain naval plane in
which to resume their long distance
jaunt.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy Theo-
dore Roosevelt has consented to let the
famous pilot, who was at one time sta
toned at the local station, use one of
the H-16 boats, which are sister crafts
to the Sampaio Correia, to take up the
expedition again.
In stating last night he had received
no orders to turn over plane to Hinton,
Capt. Christy did say that he had re-
ceived query from Washington asking
if there was a plane here in first class
condition suitable for making the long
jaunt. Capt. Christy in replying to this
stated that there are only two of the
H-16's here at present and that both of
these have been overhauled. One has
been up ten hours since the overhauling
and the other fifty minutes.
According to information from the
Louisville and Nashville last night Lieut.
Hinton and his crew will arrive in Pen
sacola Wednesday morning or late
Wednesday night depending upon what
connections they are able to make be-
tween here and Key West.
Orders from Washington will probably
have been received by that time Upon

opportunity to inspect the two H-1G's
here and determine for himself whether

ment, Senator McNary told the senate
that it AFFORDED an opportunity for con-
gress to do "a great thing in empire
building" by reclaiming arid lands in the
West and swamp and cut-over lands in
the South and East. He argued also
that it would give opportunity to veterans
desiring to get back to the land. to
acquire homesteads with government aid
and operate to maintain much needed

WIDE VARIANCES
INDEMNITY VIEW
Belgium Makes Last Minute
Concession to Avoid Eng
lish-French Split.

PARIS, Aug. 2S.-The reparation COM
mission met again this afternoon in an
effort to reach an unanimous agreement
regarding the German request for a mo-
ratorium on her indemnity payments At
the end of several hours of discussion
the British and French viewpoints were
still widely at variance. with the Italians
and BeIgians merely trying to find some
proposal which would meet the ideas Of
France and Great Britain.
Two projected solutions were seriously
discussed. One of them was known as
the Belgian plan and the other was an
amplification of last minute sugges-
ton offered by Germany just before Sir
John Bradbury and Eugene Mauclere,
British and French members of the com
mission, left Berlin for Paris last week.
The Belgian plan has been unofficiaLy
offered by the Belgian delegation as a
means OF preventing break between
England and France on the reparation Is
sue.
Under its terms Belgium would accept
long term notes in place of the remain
ing cash payments due this year amount-
ingto 10000. 900 gold marks. As guar
antee of ultimate payment Of these in
staliments Germany would deposit 2i9,-
00o, 900 gold marks from the reserve Of
the Reischbank in the Bank Of England.

Rescue Crews Work Without
Avail to Save Workers in Large
Argonaut Gold Mines.

JACKSON. Cal, Aug. 2S-Mine rescue
crews worked without avail today in the
Argonaut gold mine in which 4S men
were entombed at midnight by fire
The men were thought to be between the
4,500 and 1890 foot levels while the main
body of the fire was more than 1000 feet
above them.
Employees of the mine were sent into
the Kennedy mine which connects with
the Arognaut mine through a tunnel but
which is closed by a concrete bulkhead.
with instructions to break down the bulk
head and enter the Argonaut.
Tunnel coIIapses.
1t had been reported that the Kennedy
tunnel had collapsed but the report was
not verified. Early today v. S. Garbarini
Of the Argonaut succeeded in restoring
the cut off air supply to the $500 foot
level and efforts were continued to ex-
tend the air supply.
The Argonaut mine. one of the famous
gold producers in California, was opened
25 years ago. 1t is controlled by New
York men and is a short distance from
Martell, in Amador county. The Kenne-
dy mine adjoining, was opened in the
cos and always has been productive.
Little Hope For Men.
If the tunnel in the Kennedy has col
lapsed, little if any hope is expressed for
the entombed men. During the day pipes
were put into the Aragnaut to carry wa
ter down to the burning tin1bers. Before
that water had been sent down in skips
Forty-two of the entombed men are
said to be married.
