FOREST FIRES CfWFR
7000 ACRES OF LAND
Asheville, N. C. —Forest fires cov
ering approximately 7,000 acres of
land have broken out in parts of
western North Carolina and, al
though a large area has been ex
tinguished and placed under con
trol, -hundreds of areas are atill
aflame In various parts of the
mountain region. Forest and fire
wardens have been massed to fight
the flames, largely confined to cut
over lands and young timber, ami
so far no lives have been reported
lost or buildings burned.
The Suncrest Lumber company
' at Sunburst,' one of the largest
lumber plants in this section, was
endangered when a fire broke out
within a few yards of the plant. A
number of employes were placed
| on duty fighting tha flames and it
j was confined to approximately 30

Lose Their Lives in Fall at Hampton
Roads Naval Air Station; Not
"Stunting."
Norfolk, Va. Lieutenant Edward
I.ewis Ericson, of New York city, and
Lieutenant Rober Franklin Armstrong,
t of Rochester, N. Y., and Norfolk, naval
"aviators, were killed Instantly when a
plane crashed to earth with them near
! No. 1 hangar at the Hampton Roads
' naval air station.
The badly crushed bodies were
I dragged from the plane's wreckage by
a dozen men who witnessed the fall.
The shoes and leggings of one of the
men had been unlaced and removed,
apparently as if he expected his plane
to fall in the water netyby and had
made ready to jump for safety.
| The fliers, both of whom were re
garded as first class pilots, had them
selves constructed, or rebuilt, the
plane in which they took their last
flight. It was of the JN 4 type and a
j land machine, and they were making
| a test of its strength.
They were not "stunting," according
to men at the air station who witness
(d the fall. The plane had been In
the air only about ten minutes when
the crash came.
! Men who saw the fall said that the
"flippers" were out of control. The
naval board of inquiry called to In
vestigate the accident had little ito
! work upon, because the plane was
thoroughly wrecked that investigation
of causes of the tragedy were doomed
, to futility.
As well as they could estimate wit-'
j nesses said the machine went into a
j nose dive for 800 feet and struck the
i earth with a terrific Impact, which
; shattered it.
Lieutenant Ericson.was in command
! of the squadron of seaplanes which
I "attacked" ships of the Atlantic fleet
j last month with torpedoes hurled from
! the air.
The accident cast gloom over the
! air station on the eve of the big
I navy day celebration. Both the vic-
I tims were popular and recognized as
| interpld flyers.
Prohibition Moves to Wait for Court,
j Washington. Enforcement of the
| national prohibition law with respect
| to foreign shipping within American
territorial waters will await a final In
terpretation of that section of the
statute by the supreme court, It was
Indicated by high administration offi
cials. This Interpretation is expected
) by government officers late next month
i or in December.
Decision of the executive depart- 1
i ment to withhold enforcement of the
Uw as construed by Attorney General
j Paugherty, in his opinion of October
j 6, watf formally communicated to As
; Hociate Justice Brandies of the su T
preme court, who, subsequently refus
ed to grant various steamship lines
a stay against the enforcement of
Federal Judge Hand's decision at New
i York dismissing their application for
a permanent injunction restraining
federal agents from applying the Vol
stead act.
Justice Brandies, who was sitting In
chambers, was understood to have
agreed with counsel for the govern
ment and the steamship lines that the
decision to withhold enforcement had
removed any necessity for a legal stay
through a writ of supersedeas, which
had been requested by the lines and
acquiesced In by the department of
Justice. The decision as to the enforce
ment was Incorporated In a formal or
uer Issued by Secretary Mellon to the
customs officers and prohibition agenta
which was drafted after Mr. Mellon
had conferred at length with Attorney
General Daugherty.

SHERIFF PRITCHARD ESCAPES
Clash Precipitated When Mitchell
County Ocicers Invade Strong
hold of Family.
Asheville. N. C. Out of Bakers
vllle, Mitchell county, at a section in
the wilder part of the Blue Ridge, cut
off enttVely from the outside world
through lack of telephone, telegraph
or railroad conection, comes a story'
of a mountain feud which, long smoul
dering, reached a climax, when coun- |
ty officers, headed by Sheriff Clyde j
Pritchard invaded the stronghold of \
one family in search of blockade stills, j
at the instigation and under the direc
tion of a member of the rival clan.
As a result, two are dead and two
others seriously wounded, while four
men wanted on charges ranging from'
simple assault to murder are at large
lin the wilds alonj the upper reaches of
Big Rock creek.
o
Sheriff Pritchard, with a deputy,
Lewis, Blevins, left Bakersville for
the Big Rock creek section, where in
formants had told the Bheriff several
stills were in operation. Arriving at
the home of the Hughes, two brothers,
Garfield and Arthur, told Sheriff
Pritchard they could bring him three j
stills within an hour. The sheriff
agreed to wait, and a few minutes ate
ter the departure of the two Hughes, j
he heard shots from the direction'
where Mepqty Sheriff Lewis Blevins
had bet* waiting on his horse for the,
retlVn of the sheriff. Hurrying to the
scene, Pritchard found Blevins dead,
and the two Hughes wifti a man nam-,
ed Henry Troutinan, in an automobile. ■
Garfield Hughes, according to the sher-'
iff handed over his pistol and said he
had killed Blevins.
As the sheriff was in the act of dis
arming the two other occupants of
the automobile, Deputy Sheriff Wheel
er Melton, a relation of Blevens, in
company with Will Byrd, rode up on
horses. Arthur Hughes, in the act of
handing his pistol to the sheriff, in
stead turned the gun on Melton, and
shot him three times through the right
side before the Sheriff could interfere.
Pritchard said Melton and Byrd fled, j
and in the excitement Troutinan es-,
caped. Garfield and Arthur Hughes
were taken to their homo and placed
. under guaH. ,
Navy Requirements Under Discussion.
Washington.—Requirements of the
navy for the coming fiscal year were
discussed with President Harding by
Secretary Denby and Director Lord of i
the budget bureau. Conftnent as to
conclusions reached at the conference, |
however, was withheld.
I On his return to the navy depart- j
ment Mr. Denby immediately went into
conference with his dejfartmental ad- j
visers and representatives of the bud-'
get bureau, who have been handling
! naval estimates. Nothing definite
[could be learned as to the specific
! points of discussion, although it is un
derstood that estimates for certain
types of construction, particularly-" for
submarines and sub-chasers n con
formity with agreements reached at
the Washington nrms limitation con-j
ference, which have gone over. The j
Item involving funds for the naval re
serve also Is said to have been a sub
(Ject of discussion.
| Navy department and budget bureau
officials, it appeared, are deadlocked
over certain items in the departmental
estimates, which are subject to revis
ion by the bureau before they are
transmitted to congress, and it was
said Secretary Dpnby intended tQ re
sume discussion during the next few
dfeys.

TO DISCUSS ARMS LIMITATION

FIVE CENTRAL AMERICAN GOV

Informal Communications Reach Unit-,

Interested Countries.
"(
l
Washington.—lnformal communica
tions from the five Central American i
governments invited by the United'
' States to meet in conference in De
cember for discussion of arms limita- \
tion projects and other matters, indi- i
' cate early acceptance of the invita-'
tions and appointment of five delega
tions. There is no doubt that Secre-;
tary Hughes' action, taken as it was,
virtually at the request of the five gov
ernments, has been received in Central
! America with gratification. Formal ac-,
1 ceptance in some cases may be delay- |
,ed through the necessity of obtaining:
| approval of either cabinet or congress.
, The American invitation occupied 1
attention in Pan-American diplomatic
circles to the exclusion of other topics.
Both among the diplomats and in gov
ernment circles the feeling prevails
that a step has been taken which may
bring results of afar-reaching nature
with respect to international relations
in the entire western hemisphere.
Whether the Central American Con
ference will prove a stepping-stone to
subsequent treatment of all Pan-1
American problems in a similar way,
tit was said, must rest upon the work
of the Central American delegations
when they gather in Washington in
December.
I From the American viewpoint the
S forthcoming conference is expected to
have Immediate and decisive reaction
toward the solution of many vexing
problems now troubling the relations
of the Central American group—Salva
dor, Honduras, Nicaragua, Guatemala
and Costa Itica. There is no question
ithat the Washington administration
seized eagerly upon the formal sug
gestion that reached it from Central
American capitals indicating the de- !
sire of those governments that the
: United States sponsor a Central
American conference, where a formula
for peace and adjustment of all Cen- j
tral American problems might be ar
■ rived at. Lackihg some such Btep,
jit is an open secret that Washington
officials have been gravely concerned
lest serious disturbances arise in Cen- 1
tral America.

11EW DISCUSSION
OF SIZEJF ARMY
'RESIDENT HARDING AND . ECi
RETARY WEEKS EXCHANGE
LETTERS.
ARMY SMALL ENOUGH NOW
President, While Not Supporting l»v !
crease, Will Not Favor Reduc
tion of Forces.
4 f_
Washington. President Harding's
belief that the regular army at its |
present strength—l2,ooo officers and j
125,000 men—is "as small as should ]
be contemplated unless there should
| be a decided change in military con-I
ditions throughout the world," is stat- j
ed in a letter to Secretary Weeks i
j made public by the war department in j
order to correct any misapprehension ,
as to the size of the army asked for
in budget estimates for 1923.
The letter was written in reply to a
communication from Secretary Weeks, }
September 21, explaining to the Presi-
J dent that while estimates for 12,000 of
j fleers and 125,00&jnen were being sub
! mitted, the opinion of military leaders,
| regular, national guard or reserve was \
I unchanged and that the minimum
[ force to carry out the national de
fense act of 1920 was 13,000 officers
and 150,000 men.
| In reply the President said that
while he did not believe the govern- I
j ment would be justified in exceelding
i its resources for the coming year, |
"there are limits in reduction beyond j
which we cannot go, even in the praise- ;
; worthy cause of economy, without de- j
stroying the excellent foundation now j
laid for our national defense and for- |
feiting the accrued benefits of World
' war experience."
Allied Invitation Delayed.
| Washington.—Delay on the part of
one of the three embassies in the re
ceipt of formal instructions from its j
government to extend to the United;
States an invitation to .participate in ;
the approaching conference of the al- I
lies at Lusanne, Switzerland, to con- j
aider conditions for peace in the Near i
East, prevented the carrying out of
plans to deliver the invitation to Sec
retary Hughes at the state depart-;
ment.
The British-ambassador, Sir Auck- \
land Oeddes, had received instructions
from Downing street, and Count de 1
Chambrun, in charge of the French
embassy, also had heard from Quay
jd'Orsay. Charge Russo, however, had
not heard from the Italian govern- ]
ment probably on account of the dis- ;
turbed,state of the cables from Italy. J
It was the wish of the allied gov- ■
ernments that the invitation to the j
Washington government should be
presented jointly through their dißlo- i
niatic representatives here, but :t was j
decided that the diplomats would wait i
overnight for the missing instructions i
from Rome. It is the understanding |
of the three embassies, however, that
the desire o| their home governments
in this instance would permit of no
great delsy in the matter of presen-.
:tation and it was understood the Brit- |
ish and French officials would present j
the invitation to Secretary Hughes j
even, though the Italian communication
had not been received at that time.
It is understood the three embassies, i
! which have kept in close touch with :
! policies of the Washington govern
jment believe that an unqualified ac-I
'ceptance of the invitation cannot be
expected. At the same time, however, :
they are said to hold that the presen- j
tation is necessary to give this gov- j
ernment an opportunity to participate j
in the joint consultations of the allies
upon losses growing out of the war.
Freight Claim Officials Meet.
Winston-Salem, N. C.—The Virginia I
Freight Claim conference, including !
freight claim officials in North and I
South Carolina, Virginia and West Vlr- i
ginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania, met j
here and adjourned after consideration j
of plans for reducing freight claims J
and thereby offering greater protection |
to shippers.
| Co-operation from the -public was
emphasized and a uniform method was
discussed for handling excess and
j stray freight. Other points discussed
I were thefts from cars of special con- !
structlon, co-operation With special
{agents to prevent freight claims and
I elimination of freight overcharges and j
undercharges.
Railroads represented at the meet- |
