WITNESSES ADMIT
FICTITIOUS SALES
Orders for Cotton Executed Without
ANY Cotton Changing Hands

New York, May 22.-Witnesses
called today in the prosecution of the
American Cotton Exchange, on trial
on a charge Of maintaining a bucket
shop, testified that many Of the sales
recorded on the exchange were ficti-
tious and said that the organization
depended largely on figures from the
Liverpool and New York and cotton
exchanges fer its own quotations.
With the placing of Charles G..
Healy, secretary of the clearing house
Of the exchange, on the witness stand
Asst. District Attorney Wilmer told
the court that he would seek to prove
tat the exchange had been making a
constant practice since January, 1921
of executing cotton orders without
any cotton exchanging hands.
Mr.. Healy, under examination by
Mr.. Wilmer, asserted that there were
Is members of the clearing house, all
of whom were members Of the ex-
change itself. These men, he said,
virtually made up the group of active
traders on the exchange floor. All
other traders were in the South or so
far away, he said, that they never
traded.
Through Mr.. Healy's testimony the
assistant district attorney brought
out that brokers of the American ex-
change were invariably paired in
their deals on the floor. Alleged in
stances were entered in the records.
The clearing house, it was pointed
out, got its pay in these transactions,
while the client in the South paid SIS
margin on each contract. Mr.. Healy
admitted that he had seen the trading
sheets of the New York cotton ex-
change and had never found its trans
actions conducted in such maner.
=. When Samuel Landecker,- p H.
ner in the cotton brokerage firm of
Ormsbee & Landecker, took the stand
he was asked by the prosecuting at
torney: Suppose in these socalled fic-
titious sales your customers had ask
ed for delivery of the cotton what
would you have done?"
81 would not know where to start
to look for it," admitted the witness.
Fortunately my customers didn't
ask for it."
Landecker will be recalled to the
stand when the trial is resumed to-
morrow.

ALLEGED ROBBERY
CAUSE OF CRIME
Officers Say Negro Held in Saluda
Admits Killing Man and lnjuring
Wife

Saluda, May 21.-A most revolving
crime was committed late Friday
night or early Saturday morning in
the Mt. Enon section Of Saluda coun-
ty when Pickens Satterwhite, negro
was killed, and his wife, Carrie, so
badly bruised and hacked about the
head that it is believed she will die.
Cleo Lindsay, negro, is in the Saluda
jail charged with the murder.
Responding to a call Magistrate j.
C. Rufie and Sheriff B. F. Sample
went to the scene Of the crime early
Saturday morning. Dogs were OBJ
tanned from Newberry and a trail
followed from the scene Of the killing
across the river to the house OF
George Farrow on the Newberry side.
Here Cleo Lindsay was found. His
shoes, clothing and manner further
convinced the officers of his being the
right party and after some question
ing he is alleged to have confessed
and implicated Robert Farrow as his
accompl;ce. Farrow is still at large
and is described as black negro
about 2S years old, five feet 9 inches
high, weighing about 145, with scar
on the neck and mas been making his
home at Asheville, N. {.
E, Judge Dufie held the inquest and
the jury returned the verdict that
Pickens Satterwhite came to his
death at the hands of Cleo Lindsay
and recommended that Farrow be
held for further investigation.
According to Lindsay's alleged con
fession, the motive Of the killing was
robbery, they having understood that
Satterwhite's wife, who taught the
Mt. Enon school, had cashed school
claim or claims for about S1OO. Sat
terwhite was called out of the house
ard lured off down the road a little
way and killed with the axe, Lindsay
is said to have told the officers. Then
they returned to the house and beat
his wife into insensiblty with the same
instrument while three little children
the oldest about six years, screamed
and ran around the room. These chill
dren remained at the house until
found early Saturday morning.
The community is much incensed
over the crime and the people, both
white and black, gave officers all as
sistance possible.

AMERICA CAN AID
STRICKEN EUROPE
Lady Astor Voices Hope i'll Farewell
Speech That Country May Yet
Enter League

New York, May 22.-Lady Nancy
Astor in farewell speech before re-
turning to her job in the house Of
commons from a visit Of six weeks to
her native land pleaded tonight for
America to be the good Samaritan TO
suffering Europe ard not stand By
unconc erned. She repeated her ap-
peal for the United States to ente
the league of nations or league
with similar aims for peace.
Nearly 1000 men and women
heard her address, delivered at din
ner given in her honor by the League
for Political Education. Lady Astoc
made short talk after she had finish
ed. Speeches were delivered by John
W. Davis, former ambassador to the
court of St. James and Miss Alice
Robertson, coagresswoman from Ok
lahoma.
Selecting "Political Education" as
her topic, Lady Astor said that while
America constantly had suffered from
politicians or political crooks, eve
have managed that no party has ever
dared nominate or bring forward any
man but ar honest man for presi-
dent"
"They haven't all been Sir Gala
hads or George Wasingtons or Abra-
ham Lincolns," she added, ''but they
had all been like Caesars wife
above suspicion. That we may recall
with pride"
Then she remarked that people
were so capt to feel indifferent about
local politics." chat so long as the
taxes don't go too high and the local
bosses don't get too rich we shrug
cur shoulders and go on"
IF We are content only TO have
our presidents fine and to have Jess
fine local politicians, we are making
it awfully hard for a president to do
fine things" she said.
Lady Astor said she was not so sure
that Europe needs Americas money,
but she was convinced that Europe
needs Americas moral help.
'I'm not concerned to say whether
the United States should join the
league of nations, as it exists; this is
question Of comparatively small de-
tail; but I am convinced that Amer
lea can help Europe enormously in
ways which will commend themselves
to all clear and kind thinking Ameri-
cans if they want to do So"

White and Black Arrested

A white man and a negro were ar
rested by Deputy Sheriff Taylor near
Dead Fall last week and brought to
the county jail. It was travelling
pair of apparent hoboes, taken up for
tramping through the country. The
officers thought by that fact that they
must be suspicious characters, and
the suspicion turned out to be well
grounded. Sheriff Blease took hold
of the case of the negro, James Will
bur, and found that he was wanted
in Washington, Ca, for assault and
battery with intent to kill, the assault
having been attempted upon Wilbur's
own father the last day Of December,
Wilbur having left Immediately
thereafter without knowing the fate
of his father and doesn't knew as yet
whether the old man is dead or alive.
The sheriff got in communication
with the sheriff at Washington, who
came and got his prisoner, The white
man, Mat Osaburn, is from Pennsyl-
vania. He is being held on suspicion
awaiting investigation. If there should
develop no other charges against the
Young man he will be tried here for
vagrancy.

ELECTRIC SHOCK
KILLS YORK MAN
Fellow Employee Turns on Current
by e-Misunderstood
Call

York, May 22.-Robert Quinn, "a
years old, ard yard superintendent of
the York Cotton Oil company, met a
sudden death here this afternoon
when an employee misunderstood "a
command Of his and turned the cleo
trict current on wire he was adjust
ing. Five hundred and fifty volts
passed through his body causing
death within a few moments. The ac-
cident occurred at the ice making
plant where two employees had just
run a ground wire. Noticing that the
wire was only loosely wrapped
around the stake. Mr.. Quinn step
ped outside to tighten it. He called
for those inside to draw in tape he
was using, it is said, and in the noise
made by the machinery his words
were misunderstood by VIII Dixon an
Is year old employee, who turned on
the current. The fact that Mr.. Quinn
was standing on We. ground made
the charge all the more deadly.
Mr. Quinn was a veteran of the
World war and was widely and favor
ably known. Surviving are his wife,
Mrs. Lucia Reid Ewart Quinn, to
whom he was married ten months
ago, his father, Felix Quinn, sister
and six brothers, two of the latter

FARMER MAY GET
PLACE ON BOARD
AGRARIAN BLOC WOULD NOT
REAPPOINT HARDING
House Passes Senate Amendment
Which Would Eliminate
RGovernor
Hugh W. Roberts in The State.

Hugh w. Roberts in The State.
Washington, May 23.-The agra
rian bloc Of congress congratulates
itself tonight on what it believes to
be the elimination of w. P. G. Hard
ing, governor Of the federal reserve
3oard.
The house this afternoon passed
two senate amendments to the act,
which created the federal reserve
system. One Of them emanating from
Senator E. D. Smith Of South Caro-
lima provided that the president shall
appoint to the first vacancy on the
board "dirt" farmer. The other
offered by Senator w. J. Harr!t; of
Georgia provided that before the fed
eral reserve board can approve the
construction of any buildings costing
mere than S250,000 it must secure
the permission Of congress.
The first vacancy to occur in the
membership Of the federal reserve
board will be when the term Of Gov
ernor Harding expires in August. Gov
ernor Harding is regarded as one of
the most expert fnanciers in the
United States and banking associa-
tons in manyAcommonwealths Of the
union have recetly indorsed his ad
mnistration anu urged the president
to give him another term. But he is
not a "dirt' farmer.
1t is regarded as certain that the
president will approve the amend
ments which have passed both houses.
IN that event he will be compelled to
appoint "dirt" farmer to succeed
Governor Harding. AS to whom the
president will name is regarded as
doubtful, although Senator Smith of
South Carolina has been mentioned.
The president might be deferred in
appointing Senator Smith, however.
because of his recent appointment Of
former Gov. r. A. Cooper Of the same
state to be a member Of me federal
farm loan board.
Certain members Of the agrarian
bloc of the senate have been especial
ly bitter in their criticism of Cover
nor Harding. Senator J. Thomas
Hefin of Alabama has been especially
vindictive in his charges that Govern
or Harding was responsible for the
Republican panic, which, he contend
ed, "prompted many thousand men to
Scomm:t suicide"
The president, it is understood, wc.S
moved by the charges of the agrarlan
bloc and about concluded not to re-
appoint Governor Harding. l. IS re-
garded as certain now that he will
act in response to the demand of con-
gress.
Numerous banking associations
have recently appealed to the prcsi-
dent to reappoint Governor Harding.
It has been contended that his admin
istration of the federal reserve act
saved the country during the panic
and that just as prosperity returns it
would be folly to remove him from
office.
The amendments passed the house
without dissenting vote.

Milledgeville, Ca, May 28.-The
first information that Jim benson had
gotten away from the mob was taken
to Irwinton today by farmer Of
Wilkinson county, according to in
formation brought here tonight. The
farmer was in the field with several
negro hands when he observed bare
headed negro approach. The negro,
however, ran when he discovered the
white farmer.
"What was the matter with that
negro?" the farmer asked one of his
hands.
|'That's Jim Denson," came the re-
ply. "He says he escaped from lynch
ers and that they are hunting him."
benson was then out of sight, but
the farmer carried the news to the
sheriff and then the hunt for benson
alive was begun. The sheriff had be-
lieved benson dead until then. The
farmers story was later confirmed, it
is stated, from other sources.
People who left Wilkinson county
as late as o'clock tonight said Dem
son had not been captured. The mob
was still pursuing, however.
