Greenwood Fire COmnany

Although the Greenwood Fire
Company is small in membership
they are doing good work. There are
many citizens of the Greenwood
community who are grateful to this
Fire Company for good work done.
Had it not been for them in many
cases homes would have been en-
tirely destroyed by fire.
Not only are they successful in
their fire fighting ability but also
financially. At a recent meeting
there was very interesting report
made by the treasurer of the COM
paCy. THcy cleared at their carnival
which was given last summer ST.
O72.1O. This proves that they have
wonderful cooperation from the
citizens of the community. At a sup
per given on January Is, they clear
ed $4,000. What organization could
| beat that in a small community, es-
\ pecially in a snow storm?
The members of the Greenwood
Fire Company wish to thank each
and everyone of those who have
helped to make them success.
They especially extend many thanks
to those ladies who worked so hard
to make the supper successful; also
those who left their nice cOzy homes
and ventured through that terrible
snow and sleet to eat supper with
the firemen.
The fremen are expecting to give
a play in the near future that will
make one forget all their troubles
and laugh with the rest of the folks.
Come on, let all of us go to the
play and boost the Greenwood fire
men.

COMMUNIST ARRESTED.


GENEVA, Switzerland. July 81 (P
Charged with pasting infiammatory
posters on a city wall without legal
authorization, a Communist was ar.
rested here today as an OutgroWth OF
agitation against the execution OF
Nicolo Sacco and Bartolomeo Van
zetti. The man was held in jail pend
ing further investigation.
In the meantime an increasing num-
Der of protests against the pending
executions is being received by the
American legation at Bern and the
American consulates at Geneva and
other points. The American consulate
has requested protection for Hugh
Gibson, head of the American delega
ton to the tripartite naval conference
here, although Mr.. Gibson has pre-
viously declined police escorts or pro
lection.
Numerous posters which have ap
peared in Geneva declare that 1t Is
not clemency for Sacco and VanZettl
that is wanted, but justice. The
posters say that Vanzetti was con
demned because of his doctrine: II
want a roof for each family, bread for
every mouth and education for each
heart"
The Conservative Journel de Geneve,
which is widely read in Europe, has
printed a leading editorial. declaring
that everything indicates that Sacco
and Vanzetti were condemned, not be-
cause they were murderers. but, be.
cause they were revolutionists. After
declaring that the case gives the i'm.
preston that the men were con-
demned because they were Italians,
too true that in the United States
poor immigrants are often considered
as being human beings in the second
category"

ACTION IS DEFERRED

Public Utilities Commission Con-

Policy on Trolleys.

The Public Utilities Commission
again today considered the question
of reversing the policy of the former
commission with respect to the one.
man street cars, but deferred action.
The old commission was on record
as opposing any increase in the num-
Der Of one-man cars now in operation,
but the question of changing this
policy was taken under advisement
by the new commission several months
ago as result of request by the
Anacostia Citizens Association that

those of the newer type with auto.
matte rear exits.
The car companies subsequently
served notice on the commission that
unless a more liberal policy toward
the one-man car is adopted an appeal
for higher fares probably would be
made The companies pointed out
that their return is far below that al
lowed by the commission and that the
increased use of the one-man cars ap.
peared to be the only means to avoid
a plea for a higher rate of fare.
The commission then sent ques-
tionnaires to the various civic and
trade organizations to ascertain
whether their former attitude of op-
position to the one-man cars had
changed. The replies indicated very
little Of the opposition has dissipated.

Referring to the hunger strike
which the condemned men have under
taken at the State prison and which
entered it's fifth day today, the letter
asked, do you wonder that they
want to kill themselves rather than
submit to decision based upon the
evidence of such Witnesses"
Both the governors own inquiry
and that of the advisory board, which
he named to make an independent
examination into the merits Of the
case have been behind closed doors.
Touching upon the matter of the
governors alleged bias, the commit.
tees letter declared:
Into their dark cells is brought
the report of a denfense witness inter-
view with you. They are told that
you plainly seem to view this and
other defense witnesses with suspicion
and that you always indicate by your
questions and assertions decided
presumption of belief in the prosecu-

"Our two friends starve in protest
against a veil Of secrecy that en-.
courages the bias-economic, racial,
religious and political-which has
shown all through this case"
The committee made public a letter
by Sacco to his siX-year-old daughter
Ines. One paragraph is:
THE men of this dying old society
they brutally pulled me away from the
embrace of your brother and your
poor mother. But, in spite of all, the
free spirit Of a fathers faith still sur

the dream that some day would have

and comrades again, but woe Is me"
At the prison the condemned men
have accentuated their voluntary
abstinence of food by rejecting an
offer of Warden William Hendry to
change the menu. Vanzetti now re-
fuses coffee, which he had been taking
previously during his hunger strike.
Both men drink water.

OF FUR STRIKE CHARGES
Cleared of 100000 Bribery Accu-

NEW YORK, July 21.-The New
York police, accused at a public hear
ing in April last of having accepted
500, 1000 hands off" money from the
left wing side Of 17-week fur strike,
were today officially exonerated by
Magistrate Corrigan.
The magistrate, who conducted the
hearings in the mayors investigation
into the charges, said in his decision
that examination of the testimony
given by all concerned did not support
the charges, and that the Police De-
partment must accordingly be given
a "clean bill of health"
At the hearings last Spring, inst
tuted after American Federation of
Labor officials had announced that the
left wing leaders had spent large sums
in bribery, the charges were denied
by both the left wing leaders and by
the police.
The left wing leaders counter
charged with the statement that the
charges had been made by the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor officials to
discredit the left wing group and take
away the leadership in the strike.

PUBLISHERS WIN
PAPER RATE CASE
Reparation in Amount of Al
legged 0vercharges Award
ed Eight D. C. Firms.

Reparation in the amount of alleged
overcharges on shipment of news print
paper in carloads from producing
points in New England. New York and
Canada to Washington was awarded
by the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today to eight Washington pub
lisEing companies.
The companies which will benefit
under the award are The Evening Star
Newspaper Co, Washington Post Co..
Washington Times Co., Washington
Daily Newspaper Co.. Washington
Herald Co., Pathfinder Publishing Co.
and the National Tribune Co.. all of
which are corporations, and Capper's
Weekly, published here by Senator
Arthur Capper. The exact amount of
the reparations to be awarded in each
case was not stated in the commits
sion's order today and will be deter
mined later.
Contentious Are Upheld.
The order of the commission award
ing reparation today brings to close
one of the rate cases instituted by sew
eral Washington publishing corpora
tionS, and upholds their contention
that rail rates on news print paper
from points Of origin to Washington
have been unreasonable. Several
months ago the commission found that
the rates on news print paper in car
loads from various points In New
England, New York and Canada to
Washington were unreasonable to the
extent that they exceeded the rates in
effect to Baltimore, Md. by more than
2 cents per 100 pounds; and that the
rates from Philadelphia. Pa. to Wash
ington were unreasonable to the eX-
tent that they exceeded the rates to
Baltimore by more than 3 cents per
100 pounds.
Finding for Damages.
The commission found the parties
to which PREPARATION is to be paid made
shipment of news print paper from
the points of origin covered by their
complaints to Washington; that pom
such shipments they paid and bore the
charges at rates which the commission
found were unreasonable; that they
were damaged thereby in the amount
of the difference between the charges
paid and those which would have ac-
crued at the rates found reasonable
in p :vious reports, and that they are
entitled to reparation with interest.
Attorneys for the railroads contend
ed that reparatio should not be
awarded on the ground that the pro-
ceedings before the commission in
volved general readjustment of rates
and that under such circumstances the
does not ordinarily award
damages. J. T. Geoghegan, traffic ex-
pert; Manghum & Manghum and r.
NJ. Johnson appeared for the COM
plainants, and James E. Gowen and
Charles r. Weber appeared for the
railroads.
