Tho "sweatbox" is the new tor
ture for white prisoners who are
striped road workers, while the negro
convicts on the same sort OF work
are given an even more cruel type
of punishment. Convict guards from
all parts OF the state are reported
to have complained to the authori-
ties at Tallahassee, the capital, that
since Gov. Hardee signed the anti
whipping act II has been almost i'm
possible to force convicts to labor on
the roads
A closeup OF the "sweatbox" how
ever. demonstrates that II is quite
effective. This correspondent today
visited convict camp on state road
No. I. which is being pushed through
the palm bordered swamps and the
live oak hummocks OF Brevard coun-
ty. There were seven "sweatboxes'
at this particular camp and all of
them were occupied at some time or

high enough for a medium sized man
and not wide enough to permit one to
sit down or even bend over. A frac-
tion OF an inch separates the oocu-
pants head from the roof. The roof
is made Of galvanized iron. There
are no windows in the box. and the
only fresh air is that which seeps
through the cracks
The sweat box" Is trundled out un-
der the broilfng sun of midsummer in
Florida and the recalcitrant convict
Is made to enter it. A pint bottle OF
water and q portion of bread Is placed
on the floor. The inmate can reach ii
only by the most difficult contortions
Before many hours one may hear fee
BILE calls for help from within the box
When a man is released his clothes
usually drip with perspiration. and
his face, bloated and red. shows the
agonies he has undergone.
In the negro camps the disobed ent
convicts are given short shrift. When
and illness is not accepted as an ex-
cuse either from whites or blacks-he
is at once stripped to the waist, hand
cuffed to a pine tree, and 80 placed

British Cabinet Makes Final
Changes in Note Aimed to
Solve Dispute.
U. S. TO GET DRAFT: MAY
BE ASKED TO CONFERENCE
International Farley. Demand for
Passive Resistance Halt.
Said to Be in Note.
nv the Associsted Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON. July 20.-Additional altera-
tions were made today in the text OF
the draft reply to Germany's reparation
memorandum by the British cabinet,
which met in the premier's room in the
house OF commons this morning. I'm
less it should seem expedient 10 make
some eleventh-hour changes the docu-
ment probably will be dispatched TO
the allied and American governments
tonight.
1t is understood that the suggested
reply contains about 1,400 words and is
UP to the standard OF cogency and force
fulness usually characterizing docu-
ments prepared by Lord Curzon, the
secretary for foreign affairs. and that
It is marked throughout by q most mod
crate and amicsble tone. There is still
some doubt as to whether the much
discussed supplementary memorandum
of an explanatory nature will be sent
with the draft. The second document
may be confined merely TO the form OF
a covering letter, this point to be set
tied by the cabinet later in the day.
Among the multiplicity OF forecasts
offered the public by the political
oracles 1t seems safe to accept the
prediction that the note will deal
with the appointment of an lnterna-
tional committee of experts to ap-
praise Germany's assets. and that II
will suggest to Germany that Great
Britain is prepared to ask France to
reduce the occupationary forces to .
trial and mining plants in that re-
gion shall be free to contribute to
the payment of reparatioas. In re-
turn for this Germany will be OK
pected to countermand all ordinances
for passive resistance.
VIII Not Cancel Dsbts-
1t is also considered certain that
Great Britain will not offer to cancel
the French. Italian and Belgian debts
as suggested by some reports. This
proposition never has been discussed
with the allies, and even II 1t had
bean 1t IL considered entirely ir-
relevant to tho reply to Germanys
reparation note.
The present documents have broad
ly for their purpose the ultimate sub
lem to an international conference Of
the plenipotentaries to be held in the
near future In Brussels or some other
equally acceptable city. according to
the best information. 1t is consid-
cred probable the note will ask the
interested governments to indicate
their approval OF such a meeting.
May Invite L. 8.
1t is still uncertain whether the
United States will bs invited to such
a conference, In view of its known
reluctance to rs-sntsr European poll
tics. but some Of tho allied author
tiles foresee the possibility Of tho
Washington government lending It's
moral influence and counsel to such
gathering by sending a delegate
with q status somewhat similar to
that of tho American representatives
now at Lausanne

FLIGHT
OFF FOR THIS YEAR
Announcement Follows Sec
ond Attempt of Maughan
to Reach Coast.

The Army air service announced to-
day that the attempt 10 make day
light-to-dark flight across the continent.
in which Lieut.. Russell L. Maughan has
failed twice, had been called of for the
year
No explanation accompa MED the an
nouncement, but IL is understood air
service officials are convinced that the
shortening Of tho availabl daylight pe-
riod during another interval OF prepara-
ton would be sufficient TO make :. i'm
probable that Lieut.. Maughan could
reach his destination at San Francisco
before dark.
Shortening of Daylight.
A loss of fifteen minutes or more in
available daylight time was computed as
between the date of the first and second
attempts. and return OF the ship to
effort would require an equal IL not
greater loss.
Experience in the first two flights
also demonstrated that considerable de-
lays must be expected because OF un-
favorable winds and other weather con-
ditions In various sections. and air serv-
ice officials do not believe the chances
OF success of a third attempt SO late in
the year would justify the effort
There appears to be no doubt in the
minds of officers. however, that the day
light-to-dark flight will again be at
tempted next year, when midsummer
affords the greatest possible daylight
time for the experiment.

Bloody Fighting Follows.
More than 200 casualties have oc-
CURED In sanguinary lighting which
followed the shooting OF Villa by
Trillo.
The latter is said TO have become
tncensed at the former bandit leader
and to have fired at him suddenly
The bullets took fatal effect and Villa
died almost Immediately.
Trillo was fired upon by other men
near the scene Of the shooting and
was killed few minutes later.
Men who had rallied behind Trillo
then engaged the loyal Villa troops
and a general battle occurred within
the ranch. Villa had about 500 men
on the ranch and all were trained in
the handling of firearms, having fol-
lowed the chiefts in in his campaigns
against the Obregon government just
prior to his surrender and signing of
the armistice with Obreson.
Lived Like FeudaI Baron.
The movement headed by TriIlo is
said to have been the elimination
OF iu-feeling against the ranch, due
20 delay in paving his men: and the
failure OF crops because of lack of
rain.
Villa several times declared that
in event of rebellion he would put
II down with an iron hand and in
such manner that II would not be
repeated.
There were immense stores of
munitions and arms at the ranch
where Villa lived the life of feudal
baron. He maintained an isolated
position. having his own artillery
and cavalry companies and always
showing an aggressive disposition to
hold on TO his property acquired
when the peace pact was signed.
May Dispatch Troops.
Chihuahua military officials said to-

whether federal forces will be sent to
the scene Immediately due to the
Tact that Gen. Euginio Martinez, per-

Gen. Martinez that settlement was
