GOVERNMENT
TAKES STEPS
To ELIMINATE
CUBAN GRAFT
General Cowder Orders
s.Moral Reformation" Of
Cuban Administration To
Avoid u. S. Intervention

8 HAVANA, June 12.--Congress and
the president moved fast today 10
comply with the American govern
n1ent's suggestions for "moral ref
orma ton" of the Cuban administra-
tion and to remove any cause for
POSSIBLE foreign intervention.
Announcement was made this even
ing by Jose M. Cortina, secretary OF
the presidency and chief Of the cabi-
net, that the personnel of the reor-
ganized cabinet would be announced
within IS hours, together with a list
of new administrative officials. The
house of representatives late tonight
named a commission to confer with
President Zayas on the situation
growing out of the recommendations
made to the president by Gen. Enoch
II. Crowder, personal representative
Of President Harding. The house also
named q commission to confer with
a commission Of the upper chamber
on the question of reduction of legis-
lative expenses, including the selaries
of members of congress, and the ap-
proved bill reforming the federal ac-
counting system.
Owing to the silence of President
Zayas with regard to the recommen-
der. President Harding's personal
representative in Cuba for the moral
reform of the Cuban administration,
Carlos M. De La Cruz, a member or
congress, today presented to the par
liamentary committee of the National
league of motion that the house OF
representatives request from Gen
eral Crowder a formal statement OF
the attitude, recommendations and
intentions of the United States gov
eminent.
Reports current in high legislative
quarters today were to the effect that
unless President Zayas took prompt
action TO comply with the Crowder
recommendation, congress would be
asked to force through the necessary
legislation in order to avert possible
intervention by the United States.
Members of the conservative wing
OF the national league or administra-
ton party are asserted o have had
under consideration today plan
looking to the impeachment of Presi-
dent Zayas unless he should promptly
carry out pledges to General Crowder
to rid the government of alleged graft.
Notwithstanding alarming reports
in circulation that the American gov
ernment virtually had intervened in
Cuba, and charges made by opposi-
tion newspapers that the administra-
ton was endeavoring to evade the
carrying out Of the request of GEN.
eral Crowder to scrap the present
political machine" no official state
ment was forthcoming from either
the presidential palace of the Ameri-
can legation on the status of affairs.
General Crowder has contented
himself with the announcement that
he is pleased with the attitude of the
government and the people toward his
recommendation for the elimination
of graft in public office. President
Zayas has limited himself to a denial
that the attitude of the army has
forced the United States to act.

ARMY Filler MAKES
PARACHUTE RECORD
DROP Of 24,206 FEET

DAYTON, Ohio, June 12.--Captain
A. w. Stevens, aerial photographer
MoEook field, established a new
parachute jumping record today
when he descended 24,206 feet to
safety, officials of the field an-
nounced tonight Another record
was broken at the same time when
lieutenant Leigh Wade piloted a twin
motored Martin bomber, carrying
three passengers to an altitude OF
24.206 feet, it was< announced.
Captain Stevens assembled in the
same plans with Lieutenant Wade.
The pilot accompanied by Stevens
and Sergeant Roy Langham, OBJ
reached the maximum altitude at
1:05 p. m.
Stevens who has made aerial phot-
ographs here for several years, today
made his first flight where oxygen
was necessary. Reaching the maxi
mum height, the party partook OF
refreshments and Stevens made way
for his leap. When he left the plane,
he did not permit his chute to be
opened by the wind and then let him
off, but leaped over the side and
dropped several thousand feet before
it opened and checked his drop. The
oxygen tank which he had sewn to
his flying suit was torn off in the
leap and lost. Thirty minutes were
required for the descent. He left the
plane while over Springfield and
landed at jamestown, small village
% miles southeast of here.
Flying conditions were ideal today.
The temperature on the ground was
rs degrees and zero was reported at
the maximum altitude. So strong
Was the wind at 24.206 feet that the
motors which were travelling at about
100 miles an hour only served to keep
the ship upright and the wind forced
it backwards at speed of about 20
miles an hour Wade said upon

TRepublican n. p. Leased WireJ
SAN FRANCISCO. June 12--That
the Southern Pacific and the Central
Pacific railroads have been under
common control for half a century
and that their growth has been the
development of a single railroad sys-
tenn separate in name only, filling
demand which a single company could
not have filled is the assertion in
statement issued today by william
Sproule, president Of the Southern
Pacific company. The statement was
issued in commenting on the recent
United States supreme court order
directing absolute separation OF the
two railroads.
The Central Pacific has been leased
to the Southern Pacific Tor 81 years
President Sproule said.
"The Southern Pacific has been the
actual owner of the entire capital
stock of the reorganized Central Pa
cific for % years.
"rhe decision Of the supreme court
is that these facts are In violation of
the sherman act, although the Sher-
man act was not passed until 1890.
Besides all this there is sufficient
evidence that the Central Pacific anc
the Southern Pacific were held in
common ownership. as early as Oc-
tober 1. 1870. The official records
prove that the two have been under
common control and management for
so years, rsinZe July 1872.
'aThe growth has been of one system
and not of two. The two companies
did what one company could not do
under the circumstances Of the time.
Each has been necessary to the other
for effective service.
"The supreme court now decides in
effect that the lease of the Central
Pacific to the Southern Pacific be-
came void when the Sherman act was
passed because of the Sunset route
through Texas competing with the
line through Ogden on the north. The
business fact is that the line down
through the San Joaquin valley and
over the Tehachapi mountains to Los
Angeles was built to meet the public
demand for a road through the San
JOAQUIN valley and on to southern
California. The same public demand
was behind the further extension of
the line from Los Angeles eastward
through Ell Paso and to Sierra Blanca,
Texas.
"The Central Pacific carried the ex-
tension into the San Joaquin valley
as far as Goshen, the Southern Pa
cific taking it up there and carrying
it south and east. Everything that
was done had the backing OF the
public desire with the approval of
congress, for the development of the
resources of California, oregon, and
other Pacific states. resources then
dormant but with their possibilities
evident"
After expressing his belief that the
only question of present interest to
the public is whether the public is
hurt by having this development done
by single control under two corpor-
ate names. instead of by a single
control with a single name President
Sproule points out that the trans
portation act OF 1920 provides that
with the consent of the interstate
commerce commission it shall be law
full for two or more carriers to con-
sohdate their properties or any part
thereof under conditions of hamony
with the general plan OF consolidation
of the railroads of the country in
groups

The Once Ouer
EXTRA! PASSENGERS REBEL AT
IMPROVED SUBWAY
CEPVfHEI

SERVICE!
II you plan a visit to New York
don't let the fear of subway conges-
ton deter you. The Transit COM
mission, after a long investigation,
has forced the subway companies to
put on so many extra trains that
believe it or not-the visiting patrons
are complaining that they find the
subway cars too lonely.
Travellers are being greatly an
noyed by finding themselves with an
entire car to themselves and no fell
pany.
Last night during the evening rush
hour two girls got out of a local and
went up to the street and boarded a
surface car. They said the subway
was too deserted and quiet.
Dardanella Dunmer. daughter of
our old friend, Representative Dunn
mer, reported this morning that the
trip to work during the rush hour
gave her the lonefiest feeling she ever
had.
There wasn't solitary soul in
the car I got into" she said, "and /
felt awfully frightened. I hate being
all alone in a subway train!"
IL hoped somebody might get
aboard at Pennsylvania station she
continued, ''but nobody did. Oh, it
was just like being in a deserted
house. and I got awfully creepy.
Finally, at Fourteenth street, anoth-
er girl came in from the car ahead
She'd been the only person in that
car, too, and said she'd come into my
car so we could keep each other COM
pany."
'T think it's terrible to make peo-
pie travel in the subway in solitude
like that" declared Dardanella with
much peevishness. "The Transit
Commission should do something
about it."
Which IS how a great many sub
way travellers feel about it, When
they travel in a Bronx express they
like to know somebody else is around
II the subway service keeps on i'm
proving this way it may be a good
idea for the company to instruct the
guards to step inside the trains to
keep passengers company.
Or employ subway social secre-
taries to go through the trains and,
whenever they find a passenger
alone in car Introduce him to some
body In the next car and arrange
game of parcheesi or checkers. Sum
pins gotta be done.
The subway guards are very indig-
nant over the improved service. They
miss the old-time scrimmages and
accidents.
sTt's killed this job" declared the
chief guard at Times Square last
evening just after the $3.50 rush.
"Nobody's been crushed here in "a

WATCHMAN KNOCKED IN HEAD
AT FARMERS OIL MILL

Mr.. Arthur H. Dickert, night
watchman at the Farmers Oil mill,
was knocked in the head Thursday
morning at ! o'clock, but fortunate
lv did not sustain serious injuries,
as he was out in the town after
breakfast with his forehead bandaged.
He had been on his rounds Wednes-
dav night and was just coming IN
from the back yard to the Offices at
that early hour. After closing the
door as he goes out he was in the act
of pushing it open at the time OF the
attack and finding that something
was keeping the door from being op-
ened wide he pushed harder, stoop-
ING as he entered the office, when ne
was struck on the head, but not
stunned. He was struck four times,
Mr.. Dickert finding a stick broken
in four places, the stick being the
instrument used by the assailant. The
stick was about two inches wide and
an inch thick and long enough to be
we'll handled. Mr.. Dickert received
the licks on the top of his head,
across his forehead, nose and eyes. A
strange part was that while one eye
was wounded the lens of his glasses
to that eye was not broken, but the
lens to the uninjured. eye was crack
ed. Mr.. Dickert did not shoot as ne
was somewhat blinded by the licks,
and having only one good eye, and
chat being not in the best condition
at any time.
After the would-be robber or mur-
derer had hit the last lick he es-
capped. Mr.. Dickert could not make
out who he was, as the man had put
out the lantern which had been
left lighted in the office and it was IN
the darkness that the attack was
made. AS quickly as possible Mr.
Dickert called for help. Living near
by Messrs. J. T Hutchison, Ira Clamp
and Boyd and Floyd Clamp heard
him and Immediately responded to
the calls. They at once phoned Mr.
John H. Wicker and he and DIR.
Wicker answered in person. Dr.
Wicker gave his attention to the in
iured man while communication was
had with police headquarters. Chief
of Police S. C. McCarley, and Police
men J. C. Inabinet and j. c. >Foy re-
paired to the scene and within 40
minutes after receiving the message
the league bloodhounds were on
hand, but owing to the heavy rain
the dogs were unable to scent the

Funeral Of Mrs. Mayes

The Herald and News carried the
brief announcement Tuesday Of the
death of Mrs. Carrie Mayer Mayes,
the beloved and loving wife of Mr..
J. Thomas Mayes, who died at half
past two o'clock Monday afternoon,
after an illness of several weeks at
her home, I'LL Main street. The
funeral service was conducted at the
home Tuesday afternoon at o'clock,
by her pastor, DR.. G. A. Freed, in
terment in Rosemont cemetery, the
following acting as pallbearers: C..
T. Summer, J: Y. McFall, w. B.
Wallace, J. H. Summer, F. N. Mar
tin, J. N. McCaughrin, W. F. Ewart,
w. E. Turner.
Mrs. Mayes is survived by her hus-
band, Mr.. j. Thomas Mayes, health
officer of Newberry, and the follow
ing sons and daughters: J. Thomas
Mayes, Jr., of Cleveland, Ohio, Will
liam Mayes of Chicago, Bennie May
er Mayes of Greensboro, N. c., Jesse
B. Mayes of Waterloo, Mrs. Leland
Summer Of Greenville and Mrs. Kit
ty Parham of Latta. With the ex-
ception of Mr.. William Mayes, who
was unable to come, and Mr.. Tom
Mayes, who arrived the night follow
ing the burial, the others with mem
bers of their families were present.
Besides the above, Mrs. Mayes leaves
several grandchildren and other rel
atives and a large circle of friends
to mourn their loss. She was the
daughter of the late DR.. O. B. May
er, Sr., and a sister of the late DR..
D. B. Mayer, Jr., both eminent ply
sicians, holding the affectionate re-
gard of the community. Many in
Newberry remember very pleasantly
the life time of these departed doc
-ors and the happy marriage of Mr..
Tom Mayes and his bride, who had
been sweethearts since childhood. AS
one can not hide his true character
from the eyes of the public, being
"known and read of all men," it has
been pleasantly seen all along that
the love of the sweethearts abided
with the same tender solicitude
throughout the journey of life to-
gether as when at the altar they were
made man and wife. Such rare. affec-
ton is appreciated by community
and the joy Of it kept the two young.
Children were born and the little
ones grew to manhood and woman
hood, reared Alright, and the happi-
ness of the household deepened as
the years went by. And now death
has entered the happy home and rob-
bed it of the, fond wife and mother
and left in the wake of its desola-
tion the bleeding heart of devoted
husband and deep sadness to affec-
t:onate children, to all of whom the
community extends sincerest sympa-
thy. -
