JOSEPH T0LBERf
FOR U. S. MARSHAL
National Committeeman Nominated
by Harding
NO ACTION YET TAKEN
Committee Takes UnfavOrable Action
On Orangeburg Postmaster
ship.

Washington, June 6.-Joseph w.
Tolbert, Republican national commit
teeman and State chairman for South
Carolina, was today nominated by
President Harding to be United States
marshal for the Western Federal Dis
trict of South Carolina to succeed G..
j. Lyon, the Democratic incumbent.
The nomination of j. w. Tolbert
suddenly followed the decision of the
President not to send to the Senate
the nomination Of r. r. Tolbert, Of
Abbeville, brother Of the national
committeeman for the marshalship af-
ter having r. r. Tolbert under serious
consideration for number of weeks.
that confirmation would be too diff
cult Senators Smith and Dial said
this afternoon that they had not de-
cided what they would do with re-
gard to the Tolbert nomination but
they had asked the judiciary COM
mittee to withhold action on it for a
while.
Al the same time the President
vas sending the nomination nf Com
nitteeman Tolbert to the Senate,
the Senate committee on postonice )
was taking unfavorable action on
the nomination of B. J. Mixson to
be postmaster at Orangaburg, Mr..
M;Hscn has been understood to be
the personal representative Of Tol-
bert in that section, and has been
acting as postmaster for some time.
When Mr.. Mixson was nominated
for postmaster, Senator Dial OPP
posed the nomination and charged
before the postoffice committee that
MiXson had on two separate occa-
sions conveyed to Miss Singletary,
Democratic holdover postmaster at
Bowman, the suggestion that if she
would pay him sum of money he
would see that she kept her office.
Two postoffice inspectors reported
that the facts were as Senator Dial
had stated and the committee today
voted to recommend the rejection
of the MiXson nomination.
In the civil service examination
which was held for the Orangeburg
postmastership DR.. A. G. Ligon, for
seven years the Democratic post
master was No. / on the list cer-
titled and A. D. Webster, for seven
teen years the Republican prede-
cessor of DR.. Ligon as postmaster,
was No. 2. Mixson was third. Wheth-
er there will be another civil serv-
ice examination for the office or it
will be filed fro mthe present eli

REFUSES TO LEAVE OFFICE

Poking, June 6.-Sun Vat Sen,
President of the Republic of South
Cl Il, vii "eflsa II 7 .i,.rn and
thus clcar the way for WI Pei
Fu's plan to reunitc Ch..A m, cr
one government, according to ad-
vices received from Canton. Sun
contends that the Canton admins
tration represents the only legal
government in China.
The head of the Southern Rcpub-
lice has persuaded many members
of the original Republican Parla-
ment to remain at Canton, and WI
Pei-Fu in his role of director of
plans to heal the rift between the
North and the South, now faces a
second split in the old Republican
Parliament unless he can establish
a new President at Picking without
delay.
With many members fthe old
Parliament yielding to Suns argu.
mcnts to remain at Canton and ap-
proximately 800 members assem-
bled at Ticntsin, where they recent
ly declared for Ii Yuan Hung fo1
President, WI Pei-Fu hurried ia
Ticntsin today to urge Ii to pro-
ceed to Peking and assume the
Presidency.
WI is understood to fear the pos
sbility of Sun calling together
members Of the original Republican
Parliament who are in the South
and thus strengthening his con-
tention that he is the only one
legally elected Chief Executive.
On the other hand, III, who the
militarists forced out of the Presi-
dency in 1919, is said to have no
inclination to resume that office
unless he can do so with a united
country at his back and support
Of the old parliamentarians now at
Canton.

ATTORNEY PLEASED
AT WARD EVIDENCE

White Plains, N. Y, June 6-Dis-
trict Attorney Weeks registered
satisfaction this afternoon when
Mrs. Walter S. Ward left the stand
after having been directed by Su-
preme Court Justice Morchauser to
answer certain question. put to her
by the grand jury in connection
with it's Investigations of the shoot
ing of Clarence Peters by her hus-
band May Is.
Although Mr.. Weeks declined to
disclose what had taken place at
the examination, it was understood
that Mrs. Ward had been questioned
concerning the card party which
was alleged to have been held in hc,
home the night of the shooting.
Earlier in the day it was reported
that she had declined to answer
questions as to what time her hus-
band returned on that night and
how he looked. At conference in
his chambers, Justice Morchauser
was understood to have ruled that
while she might plead privilege if
she were questioned concerning
communication passing between
her and Mr.. Ward as man and wife,
she would have to reply to queries
concerning conversations at which a
third person was present.
Very Much Pleased
i am very much pleased, but I
can not say what I have accom-
plished," said Mr.. Weeks at the
close Of the session, when adjourn
ment was taken until Thursday.
1t was learned from other sources,
however, that the county authori-
ties regarded the courts ruling as
a material aid to the investigation
as 1t would permit questioning Of
Mrs. Ward concerning events pre-
ceding the shooting.
The days recess, it was under
stood, would be utilized to permit
detectives to check up on certain
phases Of today's testimony.
Besides Mrs. Ward, seven wit
nesses were heard today. They in
cluded two other members Of the
Ward household--lulu Barrows, a
nurse and Amy Mild, the cook
but nothing could be ascertained as
to the nature Of their testimony.

DYNAMITE CHARGE
UNDER STREET CAR
No One Injured-Oficials Have Been
Unable to Find Guilty
Parties

Columbia, June 6.-An ATTEMPT,
according to statements by officials of
the Columbia Railway, Gas and Elec-
trlc Company, was made early this
morning to wreck one of the street
cars of the company by the placing
of charge Of dynamite on the track.
One truck was broken and nearly all
the glasses on one side of the car
were shattered but no one was iniur-
ed. The detorfation was heard several
miles away.
According to the officials of the
company the Colonial Heights car,
operated between that suburb and
the city, when it was making its
first trip this morning at $50
O'Clock encountered a charge of dy-
Mantle laid between the guard rail
and the main track on a curve Just
north of the State Hospital for the
Insane. About a foot and one-half
of the track was torn up and one
Of the wheels of the front truck was
shattered. Neither the section of
track or parts of the shattered
wheel have been found officials
say.
The car was operated by L. II.
York, motorman, and j. H. Eargle,
condu> +, neither of whom was in
jured. There were no passengers on
the car as it was making itsoinitial
outbound trip. About half year
ago the regular employees, motermcn
and r. ductors, of the local trac-
ton line went on strike for re-
newal of their previous contracts
which was refused by the company
The cars were not operated for
about a month when outside car
men, with the exception of about
four Of the local union men re-
sumed their operation. Two cars
were attacked which were operated
by officers Of the company and
strikebreakers, resulting in the ar
rest of number Of union men and
their sympathizers who were put
under heavy bonds.
Since that time there has been
practically no disturbance and the
cars have been run on regular
schedule.
Union men tonight deny that any
o. their nun be- were IMPLICATED in
the attempted wreck OF Is car to-
day and state plainly that they are
not at all satisfied that a charge of
dynamite TO blow up car had been
plccd on the tracks.
Both county and city peace Off
GERS have been working on the case
throughout today but they had not
so they claim, ebcn able to gather
a clue.
The alleged attempt at dynamit-
ing has caused no cessation in the
running Of cars which have been
keeping their regular schedules
Throughout tho day.
For the past several months for
mer street car operators and others
have been driving "jitney cars
which have materially affected the
patronage Of the local traction
company, particularly among labor
union sponsors and their synpa-
thizcrs.

HENRY FORD READY
TO WORK on SHOALS
Prepared to Sart Operations in Few
Hours r.
IF HE WINS IN HOUSE
Another Bill introduced Callipu ~,
Congress to Accept
The Offer

Detroit, June 6.-Henry Ford is
prepared to begin work on the de-
vclopment Of the Muscle Shoals wa
ter power and nitrate. plants upon
few hours notice should his offer
to take over and operate the project
be accepted by Congress, it was
learned today from sources close to
the manufacturer.
Acceptance Of his offer, it was
said, would be followed Immediate
ly by the dispatch of kilograms to
various parts of the country that
would initiate the Detroit manu-
tacturcr's plan to create an indus
trial center around Muscle Shoals
that would be the "crowning achieve
ment of his career
Asset to Public
Mr.. Ford believes acceptance of
his proposal and fruition of his
plans will prove the worth of water
power and that an enterprise like
Muscle Shoals can be made to be-
come an asset to the public rather
than a liability. The project, it was
pointed out, will, under Mr.. Ford's
plans, have paid for itself before
the lease expires.
w. B. Mayo, chief engineer of the
Ford company, has returned to De-
troit and Mr.. Ford no longer is per-
, sonally represented at Washington
in connection with the shoals prof
ect. No plans have been made for
further negotiations with Congress,
| it was stated, because Mr.. Ford's
reply to the counter proposal Of
the House mil.cary committee was
, his final statement.

Benefits Farmers to
Observe Seed Before
They Buy and Plant

Low quality seed harvested last
season in many sections may be at
tributed in a measure to the fact that
some growers having low quality
seed sold it to their neighbors at a
price somewhat below the prevail
ing market price. The farmers are
facing exactly the same proposition
this year. In view Of the fact that
foul seed is bound to produce crop
that has difficulty in finding ready
market, some farmers will continue
to follow. the same old practices.
Laboratory tests show that on the
average five growers out of ten pro-
ducing clover and alfalfa seed have a
crop that contains noxious weeds of
which doder is the worst. The only
sure means Of knowing that the seed
is not foul is to secure q state test.
Failure to receive an analysis Of seed
before planting time has caused
many regrets.
It is to the farmers benefit to OBJ
serve the Importance Of pure seed.
The Idaho Pure Seed law is as bind
ing on the farmer as on the dealer.
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-03-09

1t requires growers as we'll as deal
ers to sell only tested seed of alfalfa
and clovers that conforms to state
regulations. 7e vi
One Of the best places to get low
quality seed containing many of our
most noxious weed seeds is at an
auction SALE" Samples examined
at various sales indicate this to be
true. In many instances a. farmers
low quality seed could not be gotten
rid of otherwise. Buying tested
from a reliable dealer is the safest
plan to follow.
Inspection will soon be under way
and it behoves all concerned to OBJ
serve requirements for the improve
ment of seed production in an effort
to bring Idaho grown seed up to the
position it should hold in the seed
test.-L. w. Fluharty. rt

feature at that time. The bill was
endorsed by the Legion national
executive committee and introduced
in the house by Representative
Fordney. t %-sss
The bill passed the house by a vote
of 289 to 80 and then went to- the
senate and was referred to the
FinanA Committee. Congree was
preparing to adjourn and the COM
mittee had no chance to-. hold hear
ings on the bill or to report it.
Congress reconvened December 2,
1920, and delayed action, on the bill
in the senate until adjournment on
March 4, 1921, when all bills died.
Recovering on April II, the bill
was re-introduced in the house and
senate. Hearings were held at which
the Legion was strongly represented.
On July IL, President Harding ad-
dressed the senate, asking 1t to re-
commit the bill to he finance COM
mittee. This was done by vote OF
AZ to 20. The Legion in all states
Immediately reiterated their stand in
favor of compensation and the
Legion legislative committee notified
the president that the fight would be
continued for enactment of the law.
When congress reconyened in Sep
TENDER, hearings were begun in the;
house and senate, that continued
into 1922. Principal attention was
paid to the means Of raising the
money to pay compensation. The
Legion has refused to advise con-
gress how this should be done, be-
lieving it is the duty and province
of congress to determine how this
valid claim shall be paid.
The Legion also has consistently
held to the position that the word
"bonus" is a misnomer for the bill;
that adjusted compensation is some
thing due ex-service men, not as
gratuity for military service rend-
cred, but as an Approximate adjust
ment of the economic losses he
sustained by reason of thoe service.
The bill aims to give the soldier, who
offered his life with his services, a
compensation that will more nearly
APPROACH that of the laborer who re-
NAMED at home, secure from danger,
and whose compensation increased
from 200 to 800 per cent and
measured by the amount Of labor &C.
tually performed, far beyond these
figures.
Our late allies recognized the
justice of this claim for compensa-
ton. Australia, that paid her SOL
diers 40 per cent more than our men
received, paid all veterans $40 to
SIS week until they obtained en-
ployment. Canada paid an average
of $500 extra compensation to each
veteran and SIS a month unemploy-
ment pay. England and France paid
cash compensation. In all these
cases compensation was paid soon
after the men were demobilized.
There was no waiting or quibbling.
These nations owe money to. the
United States, debt Of approxi-
mately eleven billions Of dollars. Our
total national debt is about thirteen
billion dollars; Great Britain's,
thirty-nine billion dollars; Frances,
forty-six billion dollars.
