IBOYKIN AGREEMENT IGNORED
BY COURT; GLEASON GIVEN
SAME SENTENCE AS POWERS

with expressed his desire to with
draw the plea of guilty.
He declared he had agreed with
Solicitor Boykin that Gleason, should
plead guilty, should be sentenced to
twelve months in the penitentiary
and to pay a $500 fine, and that the
prison term should be suspended on
payment of the fine. Then Gleason
was to plead guilty in the federal
court, Attorney Carpenter said, and
was to receive a sentence of a year
and a day in the federal prison.
Apparently this was all news to
Judge HUMPHREYS, whose irritation
increased as Attorney Carpenter
proceeded with his statement.
When the attorney had finished,
Judge HUMPHREYS remarked that no
such agreement would be tolerated;
that the court would not counter
ance any attempt to traffic in SEN
tences," and that he would not al
low the plea of guilty to be with
drawn.
eff you want to carry this case to
the higher courts, Mr.. Carpenter, it
is your privilege" Judge HUMPHREYS
said.

Abe Powers was convicted of
completely in the bunco operations
of the Woodward gang and is now
serving from two to five years in
the state prison.
Solicitor Boykin explained that he
intended no disrespect to the court
and that he had no desire to "traf-

ENORMOUS COSTS
Of RUHR INVASION
SHOWN IN REPORT
BY HIRAM X. MODERWELL

Especial Cable to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, Sept. 1.-THE Ruhr
struggle which now is drawing to a
close after eight months of "pas-
sive resistance" by Germany, has
cost an enormous total of casualties,
human, financial and moral.
Up to the end of August, 121 pen
sons had been killed, Of whom several
were minors, and at least two-thirds
We're innocent persons shot by mis-
take.
Ten persons were sentenced to
death, five to life Imprisonment, and
others to prison terms totaling 1927
years.
One hundred and forty-five thou
sand persons were driven from their
homes. of whom 131, 900 were expell-
ed from the occupied territory.
Newspapers to the number Of ia
were suppressed and 209 schools
housing 128,0OO children, were occu-
pied as barracks by troops.
The amount of money it cost Ger
many to finance the campaign OF
passive resistance has not yet been
established. 1t is certain, however
that the total will run into the hun
dreds of millions of dollars.
Initiation
The funds were provided by in
flation of the currency which com
pleted the ruin of German finances
brought millions to the verge OF
starvation, killed as respect for gov.
eminent authority, imperilled the
German food supply, induced riOting
with much blOOdshed and caused the
setting on foot everywhere of plots
for the violent overthrow of the
government.
Finally, the struggle has delayed
by several years Germany's ability
to begin real PREPARATIONS payments
The cost to France and Belgium
also has been enormous. Their re-
ceipts of coal and coke have been
only about 2,333,000 tons, as against
II 100000 tons for the correspond
ing period of 1922. Other repara.
tons payments from Germany have
entirely ceased.
Restoration Cost
Besides the direct costs of the
Ruhr occupation, various indirect
expenses must be taken into consid-
Grafton. These include the increased
prices of coal and other raw ma
terials; the Gripping . for several
months of the French steel industry;
the fall of the franc from fourteen
to eighteen for a dollar, and the
resultant rise in the cost of living
and the increased cost of imports.
If the present negotiations bring
a final settlement, the cost of re-
storing the Ruhr and the unoccu-
pied portion of Germany TO normal
productivity will be enormous, even
under the best conditions. If the
settlement terms are unfavorable,
Germany will be in imminent dam
ger of civil war, which would delay
reconstruction indefinitely. Finally,
the idea of peace and international
reconciliation will have suffered a
severe setback.
Throughout central Europe the
belief is spreading that salvation
lies only in violence.

SOUTH CAROLINA
COTTON CROP PUT
At $4,000 BALES

ROCK HILL, Sept. 19.-SoIth
Carolina will produce 68S,3O0 bales
of cotton this year, as compared
with a total of $4,000 bales in 1922,
according to an estimate announced
by the Peoples National bank. as a
result of a statewide survey just
completed. The survey is as of
September II, and replies received
since that time indicate continual
ton of deterioration with the pros
pect that the yield estimated may
be further reduced.
In making the survey the CO..
operation of every bank in the state
was enlisted and the replies from
the several banks in each county
were averaged in reaching the esti-
mate for the respective counties.
The response this year by the banks
was more prompt and the most uni
versal since the annual survey
was instituted a number of years
ago.
Farmers Holding
A fact of interest in connection
with the survey was that tha
banks reported at least one-third Of
the crop this year would be mar
keted through the cooperative cot
ton marketing association. The sur
vey also indicated that less than
100000 bales Of old cotton is nov
in the hands of the cotton growers
of the state, an unusual state Of
affairs and Indicating the scarcity
of the staple.
In announcing the summary of
the survey. it is of interest to note
that the survey last year was cor
Quoted on August u, month ear
der than this year. NotwithstanI'
ing this fact, together with the
fact that the responses last year
were not SO general as this year,
the estimated yield for the state
was placed at 553,264 bales on Au-
gust u, 1922. The government ifs
ures show the yield was $4,000
bales.
Later advices since the compila-
ton of the questionable state that
deterioration continues. with the

counties, with the total yield for
last year, follows:

When the huge Martin bomber crashed to the ground at Dayton. O.. recently, Capt. Walter R. Lawson. formerly resident of Birmingha m, died. Gen. W. NJ. Mitchell said that he was the greatest bomber officer in the army air service" The cause of the crash was a 5omile gale, which caused the ship to nose dive when only about 100 feet from the ground.
 Captain Lawson was for several years Birmingham automobile man. He was member of the old Fourth Alabama National Guard. which when drafted into regular service became Company K. 16Hth infantry, Forty second (Rainbow) division. He was transferred to air service in Feb ruary, 1918. He directed the bombs which sunk the U. g. s. Alabama, and the former German battleship Ost- off the coast. In these tests the same machine was used with the same crew IS at Dayton, three of the members of the crew being killed.
 Captain Lawson served in 1919 as chief of the ci-il operations section in the office of the army air service at Washington. He was born Oc- In his overseas service as a mem Der of Company K, composed entire ly of Birmingham men, of the Rain bow division, Captain Lawson was operations officer and aerial observer until November, 1918.
 He was awarded the distinguished service cross for repeated acts of heroism when in action near St. Mihlel, July 10 to September 13, 1918, during which time he showed rare courage on reconnaissance flight over the enemy line when he continued on his mission after being wounded by anti-aircraft fire. On September 13. 1918, while still con valescing from his wounds. he vol unteered for particularly dangerous mission requiring 75-kilometer flight over the enemy line. Because of weather conditions he was forced to fly at a dangerously low altitude, and was fired on repeatedly by anti aircraft and machine guns. He suc- cessfully performed his mission, and returned with important information
