LAUGHS AT DEATH
AS VESSEL SINKS
SORRY WE CAN'T WAIT" SIG
NAILS OPERATOR, THEN HIS
INSTRUMENT IS SILENT.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The grim hui
NOR of wireless operator, who laugh
ed at death and flashed striking bits
of wit into the ether as his ship, the
Norwegian steamer Grontoft, wallow-
ed and sank during. mid-Atlantic
hurricane 1ast Thursday, was record
ed on the radio log of the Danish
steamer, Estonia, arriving today.
Each detail of the ships plight. each
call for aid, was supplemented by the
testing comment of the radio man
whose identity is still unknown. He
talked as if he were going on lark
in port, instead of to the bottom OF
the sea. His last message, a disjointed
one, was series of witticisms-with
death as the butt of the joke.
The Estonia, herself hard hit in the
Homie gale, made a valiant but I'M
successful effort to reach the Grontoft
which first sent out calls for aid at
10 o'clock last Thursday morning.

BAL OWN KILLED BY
D'VANE AT CUTHBERT
WAS SHOT DEAD ON PUBLIC
SQUARE. FOLLOWING DIS
PUTE ABOUT NEGRO.

CUTHBERT, Ga.-Considerable.ex
element was caused in Cuthbert on
Tuesday morning by tragedy result
ing in the death of D. G. Baldwin. He
was shot by L. M. DeVane, the bullet
entering the heart and causing death
within few minutes.
The shooting occurred near Stan
ford's drug store, on the square, and
was witnessed by several persons.
Mr.. DeVane, a few minutes after
the shooting, surrendered to Sheriff
Taylor and was placed in Jail.
1t seems that Mr.. Baldwin and Mr.,
NJ. H. DeVane had had some words
the day before in regard to a negro,
employed by the former, who had
worked for Mr. DeVane.
When the two sons OF NJ. H. De-
Vane, Hoyt and Lorelle, met Baldwin
on the street a few words and the
shooting followed. The DeYanes claim
that Baldwin was in the act of draw
ing his pistol when the shot was fired.
Statements of eyewitness do not
coincide.
Baldwin leaves wife and three
small children, and DcVane is about
% years of age and unmarried.

GOVERNMENT PAY
ROLL HAS SHRUNK
OF CIVILIAN EN-
PLOYES DISCHARGED. ARMS
FARLEY A BIG HELP.

Uncle Sans civilian payroll has
shrunk to about half its wartime size,
but it is still several hundred thousand
above the pre-war figures. The trend
is still downward, but it is slowing up,
and from every present indication the
American taxpayer is going to have TO
make up his mind that the normal
civilian payroll of the government will
be approximately 100000 persons an
nually.
The new activities the government
takes on every year already are be-
ginning nearly to match the decreases
on the payroll as the wartime work
er is squeezed out. Prohibition en-
forcement demanded a few thousand
more government agents Packer and
grain regulation added another hand
full. The arms conference eventually
will result in about 5000 more per-
sons being dropped About 5000 al
ready have severed their connections
with the government till as a result OF
the parley.
Force Smaller Since Farley.
There were $4,000 civilian employees
on the government payroll the day OF
the armistice in 1918. This was the
peak point According to latest COM
pilations there are now about $4,000
of whom about $4,000 are in Wash
ington. Many departments are down
to normal, and others are approaching
normal
President Harding will have cut
more than 10000 employees from the
payroll in Washington during his first
year in office. 1t is believed, however,
that the minimum in the capital will
be 10000 as against $4,000 in pre-war
days.

SPLIT BETWEEN cox
AND WILSON is SEEN
FORMER PRESIDENT REFUSES
TO SEE PARTY LEADER;
MAY RUN IN 1924.

WASHINGTON, D. CA perma-
nent split between the two leaders of
the democratic party today was de-
clared by some party leaders to be the
outstanding development OF political
dinner given here last night by Joseph
P. Tumulty, secretary to former Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson, in honor o!
former Governor James NJ. Cox, OF
Ohio, democratic candidate for presi-
dent in 1920.
Democratic leaders high in the par
ty. counsel for many years were pres
ent at the dinner, which was planned
as a political love feast. Former Pres
ident Wilson was not present, and 1t
was learned on high authority that he
has so far declined to see Governor
Cox during the latter's visit here. Mr..
Tumulty. it is understood, was unable
to make an engagement Tor Governor
Cox to see the former president at the
latter's home.
The fact was confirmed today that
Governor Cox, unable to obtain an IN
terview relating to party policies with
Mr.. Wilson, had lett the capital Tor his
home in Dayton, Ohio.
Evidence pointing to possible breach
between the two leaders came to light
recently, following conferences be
tween Mr. Wilson and some OF his
former supporters The outstanding
impression gained by Mr.. Wilson's in
reviewers at these parleys was that
the former president, provided he re-
turns to normal health, will be can
ididate for the party nomination in
1924.
Because of the overwhelming defeat
of the democratic party during the
1920 elections. when Governor Cox
was the candidate, it is said that Mr..
Wilson believes he could recoup the
democratic fortunes by running again.

SUICIDES ON INCREASE
AN AFTERMATH OF WAR
SAVE-A-LIFE AGUE ESTI-
MATES THE NUMBER AT TO-
600 DURING PAST YEAR.
ALL CLASSES ARE INCLUDED
Editors, Mayors and Millionaires Are
Among the Number. Ireland Has
Fewer Suicides Than Any Other
Country in the World.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Reaction fol-
lowing the war was blamed tonight
by the Save-a-Life League for the
arge number of suicides in 1921, TWEEN
ty thousands OF which were estimated
to have taken place in this country.
The number of cases brought to the
leagues attention was 1914, of which
$40 were males and 1884 females.
This waste OF life, the result of re-
cent disturbed economic conditions
and the aftermath OF war" said a re-
port by Harry M. Warren, president
of the league, ''has caused commercial
failures. loss of employment and much
real suffering. The growing complex
ty of our modern life, the feverish un-
rest, crimes, divorces, questionable
dress, unhappy home relations, the de
cline of religious sentiment and other
things have caused deranged nerves,
depression and less self control. With
improved business which is sure to
come the suicide rate will be reduced
and prosperity and happiness will re-
turn" One OF the striking features OF
the report is the increase in the num-
Der of children, which was AT in 1910,
707 in 1920 and 95S in 1921. There also
were 500 war veterans among the sui
cides last year.
All Glasses Included.
All classes of society were included
in the list Of those who took their own
lives. There were 10 editors, 40 stu
dents, 81 school teachers, Il clergy
men, 80 brokers, SO physicians, 7 may
ors, SO heads of large corporations, 70
millionaires, 80 wealthy women and
90 bankers, including 81 bank presi-
dents The oldest suicide was 100 years
old and the youngest FIVE.
All sorts of reasons were given by
the victims. One man hung himself
because his wife was too good for
him; another because his wife was
spending all his money; another be-
cause he could not stand the noise Of
his neighbours piano, and another be-
cause his wife refused to kiss him. One
spinster took poison, leaving a note
that mo man in the world is good
enough for me-" and a mother took
her life because her son would not
marry to please her. One man lett
note stating beware of grass wild
ows," and another killed himself for
the good OF the l. W. W."
In New York city there were 845
suicides last year, an increase of 1903
over 1920.
Ireland has fewer suicides than any
other country on earth, Mr.. Warren
declared in his comment on world con-
ditions. Germany leads the world, es-
pecially in child suicide. japan has
many thousands OF suicides annually
and China is said to have half mill
lion every year.
