INVESTIGATION.

Spartanburg, Aug. S.-Two men
are dead, the third will die, accord
ing to physicians, and lad ten
years of age, the son of one of the
dead men, is wounded as the result
of a desperate gun battle at the
base of Classy Rock mountain, the
region of Greenville county known
as the clark corner" this afternoon.
The dead are: William Howard, 30
years of age, near whose home the
shooting occurred; Thomas Scruggs,
40 years of age, and a resident of
Spartanburg county, residing be-
tween Fingerville and Chesnee.
The wounded are Alexander Sud-
duth, 80 years of age, whose home
is on CLASSY Rock mountain; Dallas
Scruggs, 40 years Of age, son Of
Thomas Seruggs, who was killed.
The scene Of the battle is near the
home Of William Howard, six miles
west of Gowansville and about nine
miles from Campobello, in the region
the United States government took
over in the war days as an artillery
range land while it was early in the
afternoon, it was towards evening
before even the local authorities
were aware Of the tragedy, and an
inquest was held by Magistrate A.
B. Plumley of Gowansville.
Sudduth is desperately wounded
while the boy, it is said, will recov-
er, his wound being in the shoulder.
Shortly before midnight Sheriff
Rector and Coroner Vaughn came to
Spartanburg and obtained from Al
exander Sudduth a statement re-
garded as his death bed account of
the affair in which the Sherln quotes
sudduth as saying: "Sudduth and

SMOOT DENIES OFFERING TO
TRADE ON TARIFF-ALL EF-
FORTS TO OBTAIN IMMEDI-
ATE ACTION ON HARRISON
PROPOSAL BLOCKED.

washington, Aug. o.-1ne ploch-
ing of efforts to obtain immediate
action on the Harrison sugar inves-
tigation resolution and an impassion-
ed denial by Senator Smoot (Repub-
lican) of Utah that he had proposed
in a letter to Major General Crowder
American representative to Cuba. a
reduction in the duty on sugar in re-
turn for the limitation Of this years
Cuban sugar crop to 2,500,000 tons
marked senate consideration today
of the sugar schedule on the tariff
bill.
Senator Harrison twice sought to
call up his resolution but the first
time objection was made by Senator
Smoot, who then was waiting to ad-
dress the senate, and later by Sena-
tor Curtis Of Kansas, the Republi-
can "whip." When Senator Smoot
objected, Senator Nicholson (Repub-
lican) of Colorado moved to defer
action on the sugar schedule until
there had been an investigation Of
what he declared were eserious char
ges contained in newspaper clippings
read to the senate" Saturday by
Senator Harrison. His motion, how
ever, was ruled out Of order.
Senator Smoot then proceeded
with a detailed review Of efforts
which had been made, he said, to
save the domestic sugar industry
from destruction by American sugar
refiners and New York bankers, who
he added, were faced with losses
with the dropping Of sugar prices.
He asserted that the proposal to
limit the Cuban crop had come from
Cuba and read a published statement
by the president of Cuba, denying
that American government officials
had proposed a reduction Of the crop
in return for lower tariff duties. The
Harrison resolution proposes, among
other things, an inquiry into charges
that such proposals had been made.
The Utah senator said his letter
to General Crowder had been writ
ten after Senior Portuondo of Cuba
and General Crowder had called on
him at his Office here on January "a,
last, and Senior Portuondo mad pro-
posed limitation of the Cuban crop
and an increase of 10 per cent. in
the. tariff differential in favor of
Cuba.

TRIPLES FORMER ESTIMATE
IN CHINESE CITP-BURIAL
DEAD PROVES A SERIOUS
PROPOSITION.

Hong Kong, Aug. S.-Typhoon
stricken Swatow, mangled and mis-
cradle caricature Of the port of a
week ago, dogged1y goes about the
first ghastly task that falls to the
survivors of the storm-burial of the
dead. g..
Bodies of twenty-eight thousand
have. been recovered, a death toll
that triples former estimates and
cuts in half the former population
of the native city. These figures were
given in a circular issued by the
Swatow chamber Of commerce from
it's branch in Hong Kong.
Rude coffins have been hammered
together with lumber salvaged from
the wreck Of the city. But these can
not be made fast enough to dispose
of bodies which are sanitary men,
ace. Gunny sacks and mattress bags
have been made into crude shrouds.
Graves are hurriedly dug in the allu.
vial fats on which the port was
built, that bodies may be inferred
as they are recovered from the
wreckage.
Shortage Of food may prove an
other menace. British in Hong Kong
already have sent $4,000 for re-
lief to the British consul at Swatow.
Rice is being shipped from the Brit
ish colony. The Swatow Municipality
Charitable association has organized
a relief fund to which subscriptions
are being sought. Benevolent socie-
ties in Hong Kong are uniting in
relief measures for the sufferers.
Bandits, making grim capital of
the city's disaster, are reported to
have raided homes and robbed ped
estrians in the native section.
Ghouls sought to loot the dead, but
were promptly stopped by native
police.
Swatow is a heap of ruins. The
tidal wave which swept the road
along the harbor while the storm
was at it's height completed the de-
vastation which the storm started.
Water front buildings crumpled be-
fore the assault of the water, lie
in tangled nondescript piles. The
steamers caught in the storm were
piled on the beach. Smaller craft
demolished when they sought shelter
in Swatow harbor, add to the tangle
on the water front that swirls with
the tide.
Bodies of many victims have drift
ed out to sea. They have been sight.
ed by steamers as far as Is miles
from the devastated port. Many will
never be recovered.

men who are meeting here in an en-
deaor to solve the European riddle,
today devoted i've hours to an an
alysis of the conditions existing be-
tween Great Britain, France, Italy,
and Belgium. The conference termi-
mated in the appointment of COM
mittee, composed Of the finance min
listers Of these countries, which is to
examine into specific proposals made
by Raymond Poincare, the French
premier. These proposals have not
been made public. -
The committee, in collaboration
with the financial experts, is to meet
under the craftsmanship Of Sir Rob
ert S. Horne, British chancellor Of
the exchequer, at 1880 o'clock to-
morrow morning. It will make re-
port to the full conference some
| time Tuesday or Wednesday.
The appointment Of the committee
followed a proposal by David Lloyd
George, the British prime minister,
to grant a moratorium to Germany
which would terminate at the end Of.
the present year, and the outline by
M. Poincare Of measures which
France considers should precede any
further effort to alleviate German
obligations. ...
France has no objections to q
moratorium in principle" said M.
Poincare. He then outlined the plan
which he indicated would be satis-
! factory to Frances requirements.

replied, SHOULD be considered as to :
whether it will result merely in
trouble or in hard cash."
Mr.. Lloyd George discussed N.
Poincare's proposition in detail and
expert advice should be invited be-
fore the ministers said yes or no to
it. The question of referring the mat
ter to a committee was unanimous.
The French, British, Belgian and
Italian spokesmen during the session
painted gloomy pictures Of their war
ravaged countries and consequent
chaotic trade conditions. Baron Hay
ashi, the Japanese representative,
threw ray of sunshine into the con-
ference and brought the first laugh
ter among the delegates when he
made the declaration: 81 think the
single object of the allies should be
to get all the money possible"
| Mr.. Lloyd George in brief ad-
dress opened the conference. He said
the British government favored a.
waiting the report Of the reparations
committee before completing an al
lied meeting but that others had
thought the circumstances necessitat-
ed an immediate gathering. He then
invited M. Poincare to elaborate his
view.
M. Poincare said he thought the
Injecting was necessary because two
factors of great Importance had de-
veloped since the last conversations
in London; namely, the German de-
mand for a moratorium and the note
of the Earl of Balfour concerning
interallied debts. The French pre-
mier added that the Versailles trea-

deavor to maintain "unimpaired
transportation service" notwith-
standing the strike.
Washington, Aug. 8.--The shop
crafts committee, of the Southern
Railway system and the Mobile and
Ohio railroad met with railroad exc
cutives and advised those employers
that they would not make any adjust
ment of the strike with the Southern
or the Mobile and Ohio as the strike
is national and must be settled ma
tionally.
Failure to reach an agreement
was announced after conference
of shopcraft leaders and railroad
officials today.
The conference was asked by Vice
President Miller, of the Southern, a
week ago. The railroad announced
it's willingness to settle with its men
on the basis of the presidents first
proposal, which was rejected by the
railroad executives meeting in New
York. The conference originally was
called for Saturday, but was post
poned on request of union leaders.
Vice-President Miller issued the
following statement:
"After delaying negotiations for
week, the shopcrafts' committee OF
the Southern railway system and Mo-
bile and Ohio railroad, today advis-
ed the officers Of those companies
that they will not make any adjust
ment of the strike with the Southern
or the Mobile and Ohio, as the strike
is national and must be settled ma
tionally. In saying this they recog-
nized that the Southern and the Mo-
bile and Ohio railroads have kept
the door open in the matter Of SEN
iority and have agreed to the other
terms which were proposed by the
president on July 81 and were sub
sequently accepted by the national
representatives of the shopcrafts,
so that there is no obstacle to set
tlement, created or maintained by
the managements of the Southern
or the Mobile and Ohio"
In his invitation to Southern en-
p.oyes to enter a separate agreement
Mr.. Miller said the southern had
made no attempt to break the strike
He did not indicate today what move
the road would make in view Of the
failure of the negotiations.

(By the Associated Press)

Washington, Feb. 28.-The admin istration plan for government aid to the American merchant marine was presented today to congress by Presi- dent Harding in person, with the de- claration that the influence of the United States in world councils Twill be surely measured by the unfailing standard which is found in the na- tional merchant marine"
 The salient points in the presidents proposad were embodied in bills inn mediately presented the house and senate after the president had con- cluded.
 Outstanding features of the execu- tive recommendation are:
 Government aid estimated at $32,- 000,00O annually, to be secured prin- cipally through the appropriation of 10 per cent of the national customs receipts.
 The sale of tonnage now owned by the shipping board and conversion of the proceeds into loan fund, which would be used to stimulate the mer- chant marine.
