 crimination Fayering South

sS CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-When that rude Attilfa, the bollweevil, tumbled King Cotton from the throne of south .,erni industry, hosts of farmers and busi-
 acss men sought the protection of krw prince, the lowly Little Peanut.
 s5 one outcome of the upheaval, the Mterstatel Commerce commission con- ducted. hearing today concerning complaint by 1S midwestern buyers, that the peanut rates of eight railroads operating in the south "discriminate" sin favor of southern destinations and against midwestern points, and that the rates to midwestern destinations on peanuts are not sufficiently lower than those on peanut oil. Many mills in the south which originally made cot tonseed oil are now making peanut oil.
 In refutation, J. D. Brantley of Will uington, N. O., commerce agent for the
 Atlantic coast lines, testified that 'xth class rates from Georgia points ! Cincinnati and to Cairo, H., were n, nearly all instances lower than those Richmond, though inss some instances he distances were approximately the Same.

Agitation For Division Fron Mississippi Dropped For
 Present

MOBILE, Ala. Feb. <15.-(Special
 leased wire.)-The Warrior River
 committee of the Chamber of Commerce | conference Friday with a delegation from Birmingham. dcided to "let up' for the present in its agitation for the 'imncdiate separation of the Warrior from the Mississippi Barge Line service"
 The Birmingham delegation, composed of ". D. sNesbit, president of the War rant Warehouse company; A. w. Carey, traffic manager of the Tennes- B. Allen, executive agent of the Ten nesses Coal and Iron company, were in accord with the committees action.
 I've have not receded from our form CT position that we believe the pro- posed separation would be favorable to Mobile, but are agreed that for the present it is best to cease agitation to bring the separation about" said the committee chairma1.
 Mir. Nesbit of Birmingham stated that he was interested primarily in the. securing of0 more and adequate equipment on the Warrior to handle Birmingham cargoes down the river. , Asked if that was for or against pro- posed separation, he said he could not say.
 - Immediately following the announce sment from Washington, that the sys- tems would not be separated just now, after Col. Ashburn, chief of inland waterways had advised such separation in his report and had placed his as- sistant, Captain John M. Tuthern in Mobile as head of the Warrior system, the. Chamber of Commerce launched a move to ascertain the reason for the abrupt change of plans.

PARIS, H., Feb. 15.-Senator Hi ram Johnson, candidate for the repub- 1icar presidential nomination, last night continued his criticism of the handling of the teapot dome oil investigation by : President Coolidge.
 's eI do not wish to be unduly critical of the President" he said, but there is no reason why there should be delay waiting for something to happen. It already has happend and we cannot help but compare his securing the coun- try from east to west looking for some one to prosecute the oil lease frauds with what Theodore Roosevelt would have done had he been in the White House. He would have pointed his finger at some one in the department of justice and would have said do this and If there wasn't anybody there to do 1t, he would have said get out"

The establishment of relations

'Since the World War" he con-

AS manganese Is found only in India

 SLAIN BY AMMAN,
 HOUSEBROBBED
Negro Charged With Crime Tried To Cash
 Checks On Victim

Her skull crushed and her body cov- cred with blood from wounds evidently inflicted with an ax, Kate Crenshaw' 7O-year-old negro woman, was found dead in her small frame house at War rior, Ala. about nine o'clock Saturday night. Ali Brown, a negro laborer, who lived in the same vicinity, was ar rested by city detectives few hours later. when he was reported to be try ing to cash checks with the bank book of the Crenshaw woman.
 The aged negro woman was found sitting ina chair at her home. The room had been ransacked and her bank book and check book removed from hnE reau drawers, The doors to the house were locked and the keys taken by the assailant ..
 Brown was placed under arrest but feeling was said to run so high in the community over the crime with. which he is charged that he was transferred to the county jail for safekeeping. The murdered negress was well known throughout the section, it is said, and had the respect of white people.
 A second negro murder was commit ted during Saturday at Docena, Ala, when Jim Horton was killed in a row said to have been engaged in between him and Rufus Sturdivant, negro, over a one dollar debt. Sturdivant surren- dered to Ensley police and was placed in the county jail.

PREMIERS MEET TO TRY TOREACH
 UNDERSTANDING
Experts Report Figures In Farley Between Mac
 Donald And HerriOt

LONDON, June 21.-(By Associated Press. )-New ways to peace under standing in Europe, with the experts report on reparations figuring promi- nently, are being discussed at Shequers Court tonight by the British prime min ister, Ramsay Macdonald, and the French premier, Edouafd Herriot. The head of the French government ar rived this afternoon to begin the per sonal negotiations between the allied premiers, which were interrupted when M. Poincare was defeated.
 Ihs private confidential talks tonight and tomorrow morning r thea two pre- miers will survey the whole range of European affairs since the Armistice, exchange views on the. experts propo- sal and try to decide how they are t0 be made effective. M. Herriot will return to London tomorrow and will proceed to Brussels Monday for, a conference.
 The prime minister is entertaining the French premier in the peacefulness of his official residence in the Buck inghamshire Hills, far enough from London, Mir. Macdonald hopes, to in sure privacy and informal discussions, which he insists much characterize his first meeting with NJ. Herriot. Only one interpreter from Downing street and another from the Quai d'Orsay will sit in with the premiers and only the briefest record will. be made. It is not likely that even the usual formal com muniques will be available to the press.

 IS HIT BY STORM
Many Towns Near Buffalo Suf.
 fer Heavy Losses

BUFFALO. N. Y.. June 21.-West- ern New York tonight was recovering from it's most severe visitation by gale and lightning in recent years.
 Trees filtered many thoroughfares, blackened ruins dotted many towns and villages and linemen were striving to restore disrupted wire communication.
 Lightning caused score of fires in Buffalo and the GS-mile-an-hour gale blew down telephone poles and trees. The damage to trees was heaviest in the South Park and CazenOvia PaBk sections.
 The fires burned fiercely, despite torrential rains.
 Surrounding communities suffered heavily. At Akron the plant of the General Crushed Stone company, struck by lightning, burned with a loss of S2OO.00O. Hamburg was filtered with wreckage and it's streets were blocked with uprooted trees.
 In Wayne county damage was esti- mated at more than $100O0O, with a survey of the fruit belt uncompleted. Houses and barns were blown down in Palmyra.
 The storm today took a toll of one life in eastern New York and caused great damage to growing crops and property. Losses of barns and dwellings by fire after having been struck by lightning were reported from numerous places, and in many instances there were losses of live stock and grain. r'5-.' F
