HARDING VETOES
BONUS BILL

Washington, Sept. 20.-The sol
diers' bonus bin, vetoed by the presi-
dent, was started today on it's sec
ond voyage through congress. Fav-
orable action by the house is looked
for generally, but friends of the
measure doubt that they could mus
ter the senate for the two-thirds ma
jority necessary to override the veto
Washington, Sept, 2O.-The house
passed the soldiers bonus bill today
over the presidents veto. The vote
was 258 to 54, or SO more than was
necessary for a two-thirds majority.
Washington, Sept. 49, President
Harding vetoed the soldiers bonus
bill today, informing congress in n
written message that while he was in
accord with "the avowed purposes"
of the measure he did not subscribe
to its provisions.
The executives action was regard
ed generally in Washington as max
ing improbable bonus for the
World war veterans, at least for
some time to come, as it appeared to
be almost certain that the veto would
be sustained by the senate. A vote
in the house was planned for tomor-
row with senate action to follow lat
er in the day or on Thursday.
Mr.. Harding set forth nurSSer of
reasons for returning the bill to the
house without his approval.

holland was attempting to unbreach
his shotgun the weapon was accident
ally discharged and the entire load
went through the back end Of the
Ford car Of w. E. Sumner, and pep
pered the back Of the front seat with
bird shot. They had gone squirrel
hunting on the Forest and returning,

at dove. As Mr.. holland got back
to the car he was just in the rear as
the weapon was discharged. Mr..
Sumner had not gotten in. If he had
been on the drivers seat he would
have been shot to pieces. Mr.. No

TURKS MOVE ON

Paris Sept. 10 (By Associate
the crisis in the Near East with tho
British troops shortly withdrawing
from the Asiatic side of the Darda.
nelles was predicted by Ahmed Ferid
Bey, principal spokesman for Mus
tapha in Europe, in the course of a
statement to the Associated Press
tonight. Common sense will win
out in England despite the apparent
belligerency of the British govern
ment," said Ferid. British soldiers
vii soon follow their French and
italian brothers in arms to the Euro
pean side of the straits.
"Our troops" he continued, "are
proceeding to occupy all of Asia
Minor up to the Asiatic side of the
Dardanelles. We will occupy Chanak
where the British troops are sta ton
ed and if they fire upon us, which
we doubt very much the RESPONSE
bility for the inevitable bloodshed will
be on British shoulders. However,
we honestly do not expect opposition
from the British. If they desire 10
remain in Chanak and behave them
selves we will occupy the district
jointly, but l think they will soon fol-
low the footsteps of the French an |
,hc Italians to the other side OF the
straits.

Wrestling Match

The wrestling match that is to
take place tonight at the old Opera
House which we are using for our
Salvation Army Hall will not, as
can see, be injurious to me in letting
this place out. This place was used
most of last winter for this purpose
and is we'll known to the wrestling
fans of our city and as very little ad-
vertising could be arranged for, ev-
eryone interested in this kind of
sport will know that this match to-
night will be at the same old stand
Will our friends who object to this
kindly consult with me instead of 60
ing to some one else, and we viii
adjust matters so that we still car
be friends.

German Potatoss
Cheap in England

London, Sept. 19.-Potato dump
ing is the latest accusation made
against Germany by tariff reform
ers who for some time have been
clamoring for the imposition of high
er duties against imports from Ger
many. Not long ago British farm
ers were getting from e10 to S18 q
ton for their potatoes. Now they
find them drug on the market at
prices as low as So.
"The explanation of this fall" says
one authority, "is wholesale dump
ing by German and Dutch growers
The German government, before and
during the war, stimulated the
growth of potatoes in order to pro,
vide a reserve of food and also fo,
distillation of alcohol. This verplus
has been thrown on the British mar.
ket, the only one which will admit il
without heavy duties, and it has beer
sold for what it will fetch. AS re
suit the unfortunate British fgarmel
is being reduced to something very
near despair, and in some cases is re
fusing to market his crop"

Sweden Favors
American Concern in
Awarding Radio Contract

Gothenburg, Sweden, Sept. 49,
Sweden awarded the contract for
equipping her new powerful radio
station, to be erected 40 miles south
of Gothenburg, to the Radio Corpo-
ration of America in spite Of low
err bid from the German Telefunken
Company.
The reason was that the American
company offered better terms Of pay
ment. The amount of the equipment
contract is 1892, 800, one-third cash
and the balance from future receipts
without interest charges. The total
cost of the station will be about ST.

Endangered BY Radio

London, Sept. 19.-Submarine cab
ling is not in danger Of being super
ceded by wireless transmission, If one
may Judge from the activities of
cable companies since the armistice.
One European company has laid over
$4,000 miles of ocean cable in the
past three years, and it is believed
that American companies have done
as much in other parts Of the sea.
Today the world is encircled by
325,00O miles of electrified ropes that
carry messages from man to man.
Fifty years ago there were only g.
600 nautical miles Of cable. On the
modern routes duplicate, triplicats,
and exen sextuplicate cables are pro
vided, and the entire system is link
ed up by alternative and circuitous
lines, so that if interruption occurs
on one artery another may be quick
ly pressed into use. Land lines that
link these ocean cables into one vast
network constitutes the nervous sys-
tenn of the civilized world. There is
hardly any spot on the habitable
globe which cannot speedily be reach.

terial system.
With the amazing development and
perfection of wirless as means OF
disseminating the worlds thought, /,
was believed at one time that the
submarine cable soon would become
obsolete; but the fact II that thu
business of the ocean telegraph com
panies has increased by leaps ant
bounds until today there are scarcely
sufficient cables to carry the enor

across the Five Oceans and under
the Seven Seas. It is apparent there
is ample room for both forms Of te
legraphy.
The development of the submarine

french Police
Trace Criminals Through
Air They Breathe

Paris, Sept. 19.-Analysis of the
air breathed by criminal is the new
est aid of the French police in io,n-
tifying malefactors. They scientific
ally examine the air in the room in
which he operated, then examine the
the question whether he breathed in
that room ut particular time. If
by chance the man expectorated while
at work, he can be traced as surely
as if he had left his calling card.
The machine which does this is
part Of crime detector system which
was shown to Police Commissioner
Enright, of New York City, on his
recent visit to Paris. 1t is based on
science applied to the detection and
Identification Of criminals. If the
Sterile POLICE wish, to know that Z man
was at y .--
they do not spend days trying to
find witnesses. They prove it by the
air he breathed; by the clothes he
wore and by severel other scientific
records which they say cannot be
denied. There is no room for doubt,
they say, such is their confidence in
the accuracy of their deductions.
When crime has been committed
the scientists, in their well-equipped
laboratory. are notified. They crowd
into big automobile, filled with
scientific instruments, and proceed TO
he scene. There is the expert pho
tographer; the artist to make sketch
es; the chemist, and the man to OPP
| '"atc tn" sncctroscOpe. The last
| mentioned takes section of the air
for future careful analysis; each OF
| he others does his assigned part,
and no possible bit of material an
alysis is overlooked. The floor and
the walls, the furniture; threads of
| llothing; bloody rags, broken lights;
finger prints, anything that offers a
possible suggestion is packed up in
| ir.tight receptacles and taken back
to the laboratory. Here everything
is analysed, and finally, the lahora
tory is able to give instructions t.
the detectives whom to arrest anu
what to look for, so that final and
definite comparisons may be made.
when we appear in cour, Ne do
not confront the judges with suppo
sitions or probabilities. said NJ. Bell
chief Of the laboratory. "We pre-
sent proofs and facts. We explain
exactly how the crime was commit
ted. In LILO cases of crime, 1877
Iimprints were made, requiring lOl,'
l6l6 examinations and 4,775 photo
graphic prints, and this work led to
the positive identification of 126
terminals. Criminals who wash ur

STATE CONVENTION

At the State Convention of the
Union Republican Party of South
Carolina, held yesterday in the Lin
coin theatre on Washington street
Joseph w. Tolbert was reelectei
state chairman Of the executive com
mittee, a party platform was adopted
numerous speeches were made In
which it was said that brightet
day for the Republican party in
this state was dawning, and sew
eral resolutions were adopted. In
one of these resolutions, the con-
vention indorsed Joseph w, Tolbert
for United States marshall of the
Western district of South Carolina
and requested that the appointment
he recommended by the judiciary
committee and confirmed by the SEN
ate.
The convention was we'll attended
and the large number of white men
were in attendance was especially no
ticeable; it was said that approxi-
mately 65 per cent. of the delegates
present were white. One woman
delegate, Alethia Sweat, from Dor
chester county, attended the conven-
ton and was introduced to the assem-
blageblage from the platform. For
time she was the only negro woman
present in the theatre. She sat on
the platform throughout the proceed
ings of the convention.
Throughout the convention the
power welded by Joe Tolbert over
the delegates and the high place he
held in their esteem was manifested;
when he, in the course of an address
said "we want men, white men and
black men, in our party-men who
love South Carolina and who want
TO see her grow and prosper-and
you can look around you now and see
that it can not be said that there is No
one in the Republican party in South
Carolina except Joe Tolbert an

statements tremendous cheers greet

The Airplane Menace Will
Add to British Taxes

Portsmouth, Sept. 19.-The aerial
menace to the navy was given full
dress rehearsal recently when the old
battleship Agamemnon was attacked
by fo,lr different types Of airplanes.
A total Of 280 dummy bombs were
thrown from the air. Out of AZ
dropped at close quarters, or point
blank range, there were only three
misses. At the 5000 foot range there
were nine direct hits 223 misses.
inc pound smoke bombs were used.
If war bombs containing high explos-
ives had been used the Agememnon
experts say, would certainly have
been very badly damaged if not ac-
tually sunk. The airplanes operated
from base 80 miles away.
One of the wonders Of the demon
stration was the behavior of the
Agememnon herself. She was under
wireless control, directed from de-
stroyer. Without q human being on
board she twisted and turned at 8
speed varying from six to Is knots.
Her fires were stocked with oil fuel
and she manoeuvered throughout a
long day as If she had full crew
aboard. :
The attacks at point blank range
were very spectacular and exciting.

hour dived at the Agememnon Upe a.
