YORK'S KILLERS.
MUST DIE

The Supreme Court of the
United States today rejected the
appeal of John Borum, John
Logan and Milton Guy, negroes,
under sentence of death for the
murder of Lamar York, prohibi-
ton agent, in Washington.
The three men we're convicted
of numbering York in Brooks
Court, April IL, 1880. Execution
was deferred several times be.
cause of the appeal pending.
Question upon which the case
was taken to the United States
Supreme Court was whether the
jury, after finding each man not
guilty on counts in the indict-
ment naming them individually,
could then find them guilty col
lectiveIy.
Counts /. 2 and 3 of the in
dictment named Borum, then
Logan, then Guy, as the men in
whose hand the gun was held
when York was shot. The fourth
count named all three as the
slayer, but said that the Grand
Jury did not know which one
held the gun.
It was on this fourth count
that the jury returned it's verdict
Of guilty, which will now mean
that the three men will go to
the electric chair.

<<Dugout Dope -
GThisT column published weekly in che
interest of the Ex-service men of
Rowan County,.

The disarmament conference has
convened in Geneva to discuss WAYS
and means by which European diplo-
mats may induce the United States
to scrap a few more ships, disband a
few more soldiers, loan a few more
millions to their respective countries
with which to build bigger and better
ships and add more men to their
armies. From past performances their
efforts are going to be satisfactory to
Europe and Asia, and to the pacific
element of America. Silvery tongued
diplomats have done with words what
no nation has ever done with guns.
they have sunk our navy and disband-
ed our army. 1t is true we have never
had to fight a first class power in a
stand up fight, but those we have
fought haven't been able to sink so
many ships as have the diplomats. If
they keep On they are going to have
poor old Uncle Sam in a position
whereby most any W by twice ma
ton can lick him, and won't hat be
a sad day for most of us.
The trouble with these disarmament
conferences is, the United States is the
only nation than doesn't attend with
their fingers crossed, and is the only
one that actually sinks any of her
ships. The rest intend to when thew
get around to it, but the man in the
street is beginning to wonder lust
when that will be.
Some of our most efficient military
and naval Officers have taken retire.
ment before reaching the age limit,
just to be able to tell the world in no
uncertain terms what they think of
the situation. We fear their telling will
have no real effect, as the great Am
erlcan people are SO certain of their
superiority over all the rest of the
world that nothing short of a catas-
troPhe will waken them from heir
dream OF security and superioritv.
When that day comes it will probab-
ly be too late. Lessons SO bitterly
learned in 1898 and again in l917-1s
did not sink in, the war ended too
quickly each time. But the sacrifice
OF those countless thousands of men
who died of disease and Ignorance
seems a shameful waste. Why the Am
erlcan people assume the attitude to-
wards the balance of the world that
is apparent, we do not pretend to un-
derstand. 1t would seem that in the
face of events now occurring in the
Far East, where Japan attles despe-
rately against China's aggression that
we would wake up. Poor Japan with
her second largest army in the world
and her third largest navy, oppressed
by that heartless country of China,
her very life blood at stake, and at
the mercy of China's army of bandits.

Won PAPEN THREATENED.
Nazi's Leader Makes Dramatic Plea for
Convicted Men.

MUNICH, Germany, August % [P).-
In a dramatic appeal to his followers
Adolf Hitler, the Nazi chieftain, today
announced the beginning Of fight tc
save the five men condemned to death
by a Beuthen speed" court and relent-
less opposition to the Won Papen gov
ernment.
Asserting that the Nazis would be
able to finish" the Won Papen govern
ment, the brown-shirted leader de-
clared:
MY German comrades, you will now
understand why I refused to enter a
Won Papen government. Herr Won
Papen, your bloody objectivity does not
exist for me.
II am not suited to become the execu-
toner of patriotic fighters for freedom
The verdict was a stupid provocation
IF they think 1 will vouch for this
they are badly mistaken. Heaven may
send us torture upon torture, but our
movement will be able to finish this
guillotine government.
Herr Won Papen has entered his
name into German history with the
blood of patriotic fighters. Penalties
will not be able to cope with the crop
of this deed"
Hitler concluded with the statement
that 300 dead Nazis had been 'massa-
cred, many of them literally butchered,
and he called them martyrs.

CHEAP CURRENCIES
AFFECT u. S. TRADE
Chamber of Commerce Prepares to
Ask Legislation Protecting
American Exports.

BY the Associated Press.
The Chamber of Commerce Of the
United States is advocating that new
legislation to protect American indus
tries against deprecated currency COM
petition be enacted promptly when
Congress meets.
Stressing the disturbing effects Of
deprecated foreign currencies upon
domestic industries in the United
States. because of the unintended ad-
vantage imports possess, the Executive
Committee Of the chamber has issued
a statement urging that steps be taken
to frame the necessary legislative
measures to meet the situation for
consideration on Capitol Hill.
1t also was recommended by the
committee that those Government de-
partments equipped to frame such
legislation should be prepared. at the
convening of Congress, to recommend
measures adequate to cope with this
situation.
In declaring the need for such legis-
lation, the chamber said that imports
from countries on a gold basis de-
creased 81 per cent during the first
quarter of this year. while incoming
shipments from countries with depre-
Ciated currencieS rose 2 per cent, meas
ured in terms of gold par value, dur
ing the same period.
As of August l. 1882, the chamber
pointed out that the currencies of more
than 20 countries were per cent or
more below their par value. In none
of these countries. it said. has there
been an increase in the domestic
wholesale price index commensurate
with the decline in the value Of it's ex-
change In fact, it added, the only
countries where there is a record Of !
per cent or more increase in the whole
sale price mex since last March are:
Norway. 1.3 per cent; Denmark, 81
per cent Finland. 93 per cent Japan,
per cent and Chile, 33.l per cent.

shouted. This verdict signals the
dawn Of Germany's freedom"
Within a few seconds all was tumult
and the police bore down with their
clubs. The disturbance spread outside
and shots were heard in the vicinity of
the court house, although no casualties
were reported.
Steel-helmeted police, with rifles un-
slung and equipped in some instances
with submachine guns, patrolled the
streets when quiet was restored.
Officials of the PruSSian ministry Of

man of the ministry, one possible loop

ment and the Hitlerites without either
backing down seemed to open up.
Can Ask New Trial.
It was reasoned that if the convicts
whose act was committed 80 minutes
after the emergency decree became ef-
fective can prove that they were ig-

court, but to an ordinary court. Appeal
against the speed court verdict or re-

At any rate several days probably will
elapse before the government acts. On
the one hand, the courts opinion must
be forwarded and studied. On the
other, members of the speed" court

It is being restored by making banks
