KILLS NEGRO IN
SELF DEFENSE

Mccormick, June 26.-Richard
Sims, negro, was shot and killed this
morning near Parksville by w. T.
Wood, a white man. Mr.. Wood, ac-
cording to testimony offered at the
coroner's inquest this morning, shot
in self-defense, drawing his pistol
only after he had been attacked by
the negro. Mr.. Woods left arm was
broken by blow from a shotgun,
welded, witnesses say, by the negro
Sims.
MIR. Wood came to Mccormick af-
ter having his arm dressed and this
morning surrendered to Sheriff Leroy.
The coroner's jury, investigating the
killing, brought in verdict that the
negro came to his death by gunshot
wound at the hands of w. T. Wood.
The dead negro was considered des-
pcrate character.
The killing grew out of an attempt
on the part of Mr.. Wood and w. T.
Self and w. p. Langford, two other
white men, to settle a dispute between
the negro Sims and John Lee, another
negro, living about one and half
miles from Parksville. The wives of
the two negroes quarreled yesterday
and Sims, according to the negro Lee,
threatened yesterday to kill him and
his morning, Lee said, carried gun
to the field with the avowed inten-
ton of carrying out the threat.
From information received here the
Lee negro lived on the farm of w. T.
Self of Parksville and Richard Sims
went into the field this morning arm
ed with mis- shotgun to await the ar
rival of Lee, whom it was alleged, he
swore he would kill on sight. Lee
on learning of The presence of Sims in
his field went to Parksville and re-
ported the matter TO his landlord, w.
4. Self. Mr.. Self, in company with
w. L. Wood and NJ. p. Langford,
went to the field where the negro
Sims was waiting and tried to get
him to go to the home of Lee to talk
the matter over and get their differ
cnces settled. When the three white
men reached the field the negro, they
say, ordered them not to approach
him and drew his sun Oh them. They
assured him that they had not gone
there to create disturbance but to
get the differences between him and
Lee settled and they succeeded in get
ting him to put his gun'adown and
talk with them in an effort to reach
IN adjustment Of the differences
When Sims put his gun down Mr..
l,angford picked il up and unloaded
it. Mr.. Wood then took the negro
by the arm and started in the direc-
ton Of the negro Lees home. AS
| they proceeded down the road Mr..

Washington, June 26 (By the AS

the bituminous coal strike met pre-
liminary check today.
After a conference with President
Harding and Secretary Davis, John
l.. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers of America, announced
that the union policy was still unalt-
cred and unyielding in it's insistence
that new wage scale must be set up
for the strike-ridden mining districts
by national or semi-national confer
ences with operators.
The meeting between Mr.. Harding,
Secretary Davis and Mr.. Lewis,
which took place at the White House,
was the last of a sedies of confer
enccs into which Secretary Davis took
Mr.. Lewis today.
Officially no statement was forth
coming, though Secretary Hoover

night to be renewed later today at the
labor department.
eve talked over the general prob
lens of the bituminous industry and
the strike," Mr.. Lewis declared on
leaving the White House.
"With relation to the present strike
we considered the matter of a joint
conference of operators and miners,
especially proposals to hold district
joint conferences between operators
and miners for wage settlements as
compared with a joint conference in
the central competitive field, or ma
tional conference of all fields through
representatives. No definite plans af-
fecting the strike were decided upon
The strike situation is unchanged.

within few weeks and if the strike
continues the railroads will be unable
to transport enough to take care of
industries and consumers"
There were no indications of what
further steps might be taken by the
government after the meetings had
been concluded.

BRUCE BELAn

mexico City, June "a (by the AS
sociated Press) .-Man1el Barcena
the Mexican lawyer, Who was kid
mapped, together with 10. A. Bruce
Bielaski near CuernavacA Sunday, has
been released. and news Is momentar
lily expected of Bielaskh release. The
latest reports from Ghernava said
Bielaski is safe and that negotiations
with the bandits were under way.
Mexico City, June 26 6EBy the AS
sociated Press) s).-Alberto J. Pani.
secretary of the foreign affaffirs, has
been officially advised by the Ameri-
can embassy of the Kidnapping yes
terday of A. Bruce Bieiaski, in the
state of Morelos, and ithe promise
has been given that all possible meas
ures will be taken to effect his re-
lease.
The other person kidnapped was
Manuel Barcena, a Mexican attorney
Mr.. Bielaski was chief Of the bu-
reau of investigation of the United
States department of justice during
the war. 1t is generally believed
that instead of pursuing the kidnap-
ers to the point Of endangering the
lives of the captives, Mexican federal
troops who are searching for the cap
tives will enter into negotiations
looking towards their release by the
payment of all or part Of the 10000
pesos ransom demanded.
Shortly after noon today both the
American embassy and the consulate
told the Associated Press no word has
been received concerning Mr.. Bielaski
and that the facts as published in
Mexico City this morning were sub
stantially correct.
The air of mystery which sur
rounded the kidnapping last night was
explained in authoritative sources as
an attempt by Mr.. Bielsski's friends
to have the least possible said about
the incident until he was safe.
Apparently there are no facts to
support the theory advanced in some
quarters that the kidnapping was in
stituted by Mr.. Bielaski's personal
enemies.

SWING WITH RINGING BELLS
Men Of Nerve Required to Call the
Faithful Of Spanish City to
Their Duties.

In ordinary circumstances bell ring
ing is a peaceful occupation to which
white-halred, venerable men seem
ideally suited. But the men who ring
the bells in the famous Giralda Of Sc
vile must be young men of unusual
agility and steadlness of nerve.
When the city is to make merry on
feast days the ringers climb to the
belfry. and then, by the aid of a rope
and steps cut in the wall of the tower.
each mounts to the bell he is TO ring,
and stands astrlde its brazen Shout
ders. Then he presses the bell with
his feet, holding on to the crosspiece
on which IT is swung.
Gradually the great bell sways to
the movement Of the man astrlde it,
until it acquires momentum that
swings the hammer, first gently, and
then with increasing force, as the
sweep Of the bell widens, until the air
is trembling with the blows that strike
the massive sides.
The riders bend and rise and fall
with the action Of the bells, now APP
pearing to the observer from the street
to be In horizontal position as the
bell reaches the limit Of its swing. and
again riding gracefully to nm upright
position as the monster sways back
ward with another laundering note.
The most extraordinary part of the
daring performance is the sight of the
bell ringer calmly swaying the bell
while It hangs far out of the belfry
over the city; for the outward swing
sends the counterpoise with the ringer
into space beyond the arch.

origin Of Ostraeism.

At one period in the history of an
Client Greece the people of Attica pos
sessed the power of removing from the
state, without making definite
charge any leader of the people likely
to overthrow the government. This
was so abused that in time it became
the right to drive into exile hny per-
son who had become unpopular with
out much regard to the cause of his
loss of popularity. The decision was
arrived at by vote, each citizen writ
ing his vote on a shell-often an oyster
shell The Greek word for the she'll,
expressed In our alphabet, is oStracon.
and because the ostracon was used as
ballot, the expelllng of a person
from the state by popular vote was
called ostracism. which means black
bRlling or expelling.

Thomas Of Colmar invented a success

years n large number of successful
machines have been devised.
