looking to the rehabilitation of Flu.
rope from an economic standpoint was
taken at the first sessionof the allied
supreme council here today when un.
animous approval was given for the

conference is conditional upon ac-
ceptance of number of conditions,
namely, that she cease Bolshevik
propaganda abroad, that size under
take not to attack her neighbors and
that she recognize all the honorable
obligations entered into by preceding

IT'S UP TO JURY
SAYS JUDGE RICE

Spartanburg, Jan. 6.-Judge
fdayne L. Rice, in sessions court yes.
terday afternoon in his general
charge to the grand jury, took occa-
sion to pay special attention 10 tbs
crime wave which is sweeping ov,l
the country. He said that there is
more killing now than ever before in
the recollection of the men,bers of
the grand jury. Crime is on the in
crease rather than the decrease. Ii
is time for the good people of the
state to realize that they have a
responsibility to the state.
II is often said that justice can not
be had in the courts, and unfortu-
natcly that is true in many instances,
ne said. He cited several instances in
cases tried before him where a man
had been shot in the back, yet the
jury turned the killer loose because
he entered a plea of self-dcfense
when they did not believe the test;
mony themselves. He said that the
other Judges had doubtless had SINH
lar cases. With the juries turning
guilty men loose, there is no safety
for ones self or for ones family. A
little liquor and pistol are all that
is needed to make q dead man these
days, he continued.
In regard to carrying pistols, the
court said that law abiding citizen
viii not carry a pistol, and often the
man who is law abiding is at the
mercy of the man who has the pistol,
and if he is killed, the jury. will
believed a hatched-up case of self
defense when the dead man did not
have a chance in the world. He said
that he believed in % per cent of the
cases of homicide, the dead man had
no chance, most cases amounting to
assassination.
The tendency is to law the blame
OH the lawyers and the cour, but the
man who passes on the guilt or in
noccnce of the killer is the jury.
The state of South Carolina does not
want to see an innocent man convict
ed, and there is not judge on the
bench, he said, who would not set a
verdict aside which, he believed, did
injustice to a defendant. If an in
nocent man should be convicted, the
court would give him new trial.
The penalty for .toting pistol is
not sufficient. He says the penalty
should be at least $500 and imprison
ment for six or eight months so as to
make it W ,rth while not to carry one.
He said that the juries in Spartan
burg were the best he had seen in
South Carolina, that they were of the
best men of the county and commend
ed the jury commissioners for select
ing the best

MONEY PROVIDED
FOR PROHIBITION

Washington, Jan. 6.-The house. late
today passed the first annual suppl,
measure drafted under the budget
system-the treasury appropriation
bill carrying approximately $169, 600.
900 Of which $9,25O,OOO is for enforce.
ment Of prohibition during the fiscal
year beginning next July 1. The meas
ure was sent to the senate without
record vote, practically no oppo.
sition developing to it's provisions
Only one amendment wasi adopted
while several sections were eliminated
on points of order.
Representative Hill (Republican) of
Maryland made an unsuccessful at
tempt to cut the amount provided for
prohibition enforcement to $780, 200
but his amendment was quickly snow
ed under.
AT the outset the Maryland man
proposed that the amount for enforce
ment or the 18th amendment be re-
duced to $250,0O0 with the provision
that if any additional funds were
needed state which had acted concur
rently with the federal government in
bringing on prohibition should con-
tribute as they saw fit. This pro-
posal, however, was knocked out on a
point of order and Mr.. Hill then called
for a vote on the straight question
Of reducing the appropriations
Little discussion was provoked and
once the Hill amendment vas dis
posed of the house proceeded to con-
sideration of other features of the bill.
On point of order by Representative
Walsh Republican, of MAssachu-
setts provision for $40, 900 salary for
an under secretary of the treasury
was eliminated.
The effect of the budget system,
members said, was evident inS the few
changes proposed. A year ag the va
