2 ARE INDICTED

 IN. HOURS TIME
Negroes To Be ElectrOcu- ted For Murder Of
 Virginia Farmer

BOWLING GREEN, Va, Aug. 7.-- Otto Clear and Fritz Lewis, negroes, were indicted, tried and sentenced to be electrocuted September 12 in cir cult court of Caroline county here to- day for the murder last week of Thom- as l.. Campbell, 68-year-ol9 farmer of near Peno, Va. The entire proceed ings lasted little more than one hour.
 The negroes, who were brought here early today from Richmond, where they were taken for "safekeeping" soon aft-' CT their arrest, were indicted by the grand jury after only two witnesses had been heard. They were arraigned immediately on three counts in the ln- dictments and pleaded guilty of rob .bery, arson and murder.
 Campbell was attacked at his home by two negroes who demanded money. When he refused his. assailants shot him in the leg; beat him with two rifles and revolvers they carried, stuck knives in him and tied him to his bed and set fire to the mattress. The house then was ransacked and some of the aged farmers personal belongings taken. Campbell managed to loosen his bonds and made his way to the home of a negro farmer nearby. lie died the next afternoon, soon after Clear and Lewis were taken into GUS tody as they attempted to break through a posse which had surrounded a wood ed section near Rixby in which Camp bells assailants were known to have taken refuge.

Two Americans Reported Killed In San Marcos

By Associated Press,)

MANAGUA, Nicaragua, Aug. 7:- Two Americans are reported to have been killed in San Marcos de Colon, Honduras, when General Peralta, the revolutionary leader, attacked the viii lage. Government forces have been sent to guard the frontier. It is reported that the American marines in Honduras have been sent to the border to repel the rev olutionists.
 The outbreak of a new revolution in Honduras, following the revolutionary movement there in the spring which came to an end after diplomatic in. tervention, was reported several days age.
 : Dispatches onsAugust , gave the news of the attack on San Marcos de Colon by 400 insure .tionists under General Julio Pernalta and other rebellious army officers, and official advices to the state department in Washington from TegucIgalpa on August 5 confirmed the news of the attack and said San Mar. cos had been footed and nine persons

Autos, B. V.D.'sA And Garters
 Gladly Offered To Prince.

Just keep this car," murmured the occupant of an expensive automobile as it pulled up in front of the Bur den estate.
 "I'll send three or four more along tomorrow. Keep them, too. Perhaps the prince likes to motor"
 All the manufacturer asks is that the prince step into one of the prof ferred cars just once. That would be enough. From forty to hundred pho tographers would snap the Heir to the British throne in the act of mounting the tonneau of a Stuyvesant stylish stopper. There would be rear views, shots from the tops of surrounding trees, several across the windshield and many full in the face.
 For the next year the long suffer- ing American public could not get its mind away from the question of whether it is among the unlucky four out of five, because the Stuyvesant Stylish Stopper company would be using all the bill boards and maga- zine pages to tell how the prince came all the way to the United States to see the perfect ear for a perfect prince" -,
 The radio people are on the job and the prince need only select his set. If he likes the crisp kind of break fast food, he may indulge his fancy.
 The kind hearted manufacturers don't ask much in return either-just the use of his name and his photo graph and couple of signed state ments to the effect that before using his back ached and he had headaches, but that now he can't even fall off his horse. ..

PLAN OF DAWES
 TO BEGIN OCT. ,
Continned From PaEe One.)

Germans doVnot hope to leave London before the middle of next week.
 A step toward the establishment of an entente cordial was taken this aft ernoon when the heads of the German and French delegations exchanged cour- tesy calls. Insignificant as this ex- change might seem, the fact that it was made, is considered as indicating decided progress toward that better spirit which it is hoped the Dawes plan will promote.
 Exchange Calls.
 Chancellor Marx and Foreign Min ister Stresemann first went to the French delegation's hotel wher1 they were received by Premier Herriot. The Germans then returned to their hotel and presently their call was returned by M. Herriot, who remained with them for half an hour. It may be assumed that matters of the utmost importance were discussed at these meetings.
 The Germans m- ke no secret of their purpose to press vigorously for the mili- tary evacuation of Germany and to accept no settlement which does not put an end to the presence of French and Belgian troops in the Ruhr They can not be considered as approaching this controversial question in a conciliatory spirit as their letter on the subject refers to evacuation "of districts which were occupied without the authority of the treaty of Versailles" This refer ence, naturally irritates France.
 In support of their contention the Germans insist that economic and fis- cal unity" such as is aimed at in. the Dawes plan cannot be achieved while military occupation of the Ruhr con tinues.
 May Change Dates
 France, always pinning her faith on the precise formula, Dtill insists this discussion is outside purview of the present conference. In their present mood the Germans want the military forces out of the Ruhr by the time the Dawes plan becomes effective, October 15, or earlier if the date of the tram sitional period is brought forward. If the French prove adamant about the October date, the alternatives of the Germans might be January l, or April 15, next.
 But the French are clinging tenaci- ousIy to their refusal to consider this question because they desire to be prepared for any contingency that may arise in the event the Dawes plan does not work. While all the conference agreements are predicated upon the soundness of the Dawes prin,. ples and Germany's good faith, France, no less now than at the outset of the meet ings here, wants to retain every advan- tAge in the event of q possible German default. What she probably will con slider is the feasibility. of exploiting military evasion.
