STEWART IS GIVEN SENTENCE ON ROAD Alleged Rum-Runner is .Before Judge Williams.. Two months on the county roads in each case was the sentence Judse "Williams J. H. Stewart, recently arrested as a rum runner and tried in the Recorder's court Friday morn ing' on the double charge of receiving- liquor and having it for sale. An appeal was taken and his bond was placed at $500 to insure his appearance at the next term of the Mecklenburg Superior Court for the trial of criminal cases. Stewart is the man arrested sev eral days ago by Motorcycle Officer Boyd Ramsey, after an exciting chase through the streets of the city, ending with his capture in Brooklyn, negro section of Char lotte. A big Studebalcer car with three cleverly concealed traps in it, was taken with Stewart, and it is now at the police station, where it will probably be confiscated by lo cal authorities. The defendant claimed that the car was not his, and that it belonged to a man in Savannah, Georgia, the home of Stewart, according to his story to officers who questioned him. Attorney D. B. Smith represented Stewart, who is a young man of good apearance, and pleaded that he be given another chance by allowing him a suspended sentence with the provision that if the defendant be found in the city at any time in the future the road sentence would at once go into effect. Judge Williams was of the opin ion that the young man should serve a read sentence, since if given a fine it would amount to the same thing as playing the bootleggers' game. The employers of the run ners would pay the fine, said the judge, and the defendant would go unpunished. BIG DIVIDENDS BY DETROIT FIRMS Detroit, Dec. 22.

OBSERVANCE OF LAW NEW GOAL League Leaders Plan Pro hibition Institute. Boston, Dec. 28. An institute to train anti-saloon league leaders of New York and New England in the ideals of a movement for greater observance of the eighteenth amend ment is planned for next summer, it is announced here. The movement will have as its purpose inculcation of an attitude of willing observance rather than re sponse to law enforcement. Confer ences will be modelled along the lines of those conducted by the in stitute of politics in Williamstown in the past two summers, with round table subjects assigned to expeVt leaders'. The institute will be held in a New England College town as yet undertermined. Arthur J. Davis, superintendet of the Northeast Region, in a statement explaining the plan, said: "In addition to coercive law en forcement, I believe that consider able emphasis should be placed upon willing observance of the eighteenth amendment. As never before the temperance forces should stress edu cational work." , It is expected that numbers of per- j sons not directly connected with the league but who occupy in their own communities positions of leadership will participate in the sessions of the prohibition' institute, he said. In all aboUlOO persons will take part. FIRE CHIEF HURT BY FALLING WALL Twelve Firemen Also Are Hurt in Brooklyn. ' New JFork Dec. 22- Deputy Firs Chief John F.

NET BIG SUM More Than Billion Dol lars Turned Into Treas ury Since Armistice. Washington, Dec. 22. Approxi mately $1,118,000,000 has been turn ed mi to the Treasury since the armis tice from sales of surplus army an.l navy supplies, the Senate mili tary committee was told today in opening hearings on a bill by Sena tor Townsend, Republican, Michi gan, to distribute remaining sur p:u.i supplies among the States. Of the proceeds :-btut one bil'ion dol lars came from tne army. Ihe War Dewirtment still has sur plus supplier worth $218,900,000. Assistant Secretary Wainwright told the committer, adding that reports tnat it had ovn- a billion dollars worth were unfounded.

The recovery from cantonment sale?. Mr. Wainwright said, lias been only one to six -per cent, cov ering principally building supplies, with large losses from roals and other permanent but unsaleable im provements. Senator Townsend urged passage of his bill as an economy. lie E:ai:l tho Government's recoveries were comparatively small and that t would be better to have surplus supplies distributed among the States, where their full value could be utilized. The bill is opposed by the Wir Department on the grounds that it would deprive the Government of much revenue and also delay dis posal of surplus supplies. TURKEY OPPOSES HEARING EXILES Allies Arrange to Hear Armenian's Desires. Lausanne, Dec. 22. (By the Asso ciated Press.) A motion made by the Allies to permit representatives of the Armenians to appear before the conference sub-commission on minorities and set forth their de sires was opposed today by the Tur kish delegation, and it was eventual ly arranged that the Armenians should state their case before the Allied delegations sitting without the Turks. The latter said they could not oppose this ,as they had no ob jection to any private proceedure by the Entente diplomats. The Armenians particularly de sire to explain the urgent need for the establishment of an Armenian National home in Turkey, the proj ect which the Turks have up to the present steadfastly rejected. Rep resentatives of the Bulgarian resi dents in Turkey also desire to out line their demands in connection 'with the general treatment of the minority populations in Turkey. The Angora delegations persisted today in their opposition to the pro posal that the Christian populations of Turkey exempt from military ser vice. They declared it was the duty of all citizens to bear arms. As a compromise it was suggested that, if the Christians were called for mili tary service, they be grouped in separate contingents under Chris tain officers, but this the Turks re fused. The Greeks announced their read iness to extend to the Moslems in Greece the same exemptions as ac cepted by the Turks for the non Moslems in their country. No de cision was taken on the subject as a whole. Freedom of emigrate for the minorities was agreed upon, with the understanding that Turkey be empowered to impose general re strictions in time of war. DUTCH MINISTER ARRIVES. Los Angeles, Dec. 22.

The House agrees to adjourn after tomorrow's session until next Wednesdav. The Senate has virtually reached an agreement to take a similar over Christmas recess. HUGHES STILL HOLDING BACK FROM EUROPE J Continued from Page One) armament conference a year ago when America felt compelled to an nounce its own sacrifice at the very beginning. Europe would expect the United StateSK to announce how much of the allied war debt would be cancelled or whether the interest would be forgiven or wme such concrete suggestion for a so lution of the whole problem. What the United States Govern ment would like to see is a confer ence either of Premiers or Ambassa dors which would bring to the front all the phases of the European eco nomic situation and America would be ready to give its advice along with other Governments. It will be recalled that when the Premiers met in London recently they reached a deadlock and decided to postpone their meeting until January 2 with the understanding that in the in terval informal approaches would be made to Ambassador Harvey to see what the American Government would suggest. It has already been told from London that Mr. Harvey informed the Allies he believed America was opposed to the inva sion of the Ruhr. This too has been confirmed by despatches from this side of the Atlantic. Whatever the Allies said to Mr. Harvey w as deem ed of such importance that Presi dent Harding and Secretary Hughes decided to call him to Washington for a personal conference. WILL GIVE ADVICE. The hope is that the situation will be maneuvered so that if an economic conference is called it would be at the initiative of some European Government and that if America is asked her advice it will be given as advice and not as a pro posal that this country undertake the execution of guarantees or soma other political entanglement which might be contrary to American pub lic opinion. The Harding Adminis able reaction from France to the without entangling itself in any ob ligation to guarantee the security of France or Germany or any other Power. But until Europe ask for Ameri can advice formally, all talk of an American plan to solve Europe's ills must be considered as premature. Secretary Hughes is afraid that the press reports will give the impres sion abroad that the United States stands ready to do a great many things which American opinion as well as sound business judgment might not approve. He doesn't want Europe to feel that America will do it all or that it is trying to foist a program on Europe. Already there has been a somewhat unfavor able reaction from Farnce to the earlier press reports from America which were predicated on unwar ranted assumptions. For diploma cy's sake and for ultimate success in the negotiations itself, the Ameri can Government would like to have European Governments ask the United States for advice and sug gestions. The United States Gov ernment has made known its readi ness to receive them and to help ii whatever way it can. The moves must come from Europe in the next few days. PIPE LINE BOSS SHOT IN MEXICO Tampico, Mexico, Dec. 22. (By the Associated Press).

PRISON (Continued from Page One) ceived . several weeks in advance of the date of the crime, Harrison and Treece swore on fhe stand. In their testimony, they told how Treece act ed as lookout at the front of the fill ing' station which occupies a promi nent Main street corner, while first Harrison and then Jeffords struck Arnette over the head with a heavy piece of iron, in a rear room of the filling station. Then, they testified, Arnette's body was placed in his own automobile, which was driven a few miles from the city and aban doned on a little used road, after having been run off a fill. National Guardsmen, returning to the city from a drill in the suburbs, found Arnette's body about mid night, and immediately reported the discovery to Richland county offic ers. Within a short time, Harrison sand Treece were arrested in con nection with the crime and before daylight, Jeffords also was in cus tody. After a sever grilling of about two hours, Harrison and Treece confess ed having taken part in the killing of Arnette, who they said, was still alive when he was left alone in the automobile. They implicated Jef fords, declaring toe had offered to take them into the business for as sisting him in doing away with his partner. Jeffords, the officers said, finally admitted having had a hand in the crime, but denied that he planned it, and attempted to lay the blame upon the two younger men. "I was over-persuaded" he told of ficers, they said. REFUSED BY TAFT. Indictment of the three was quickly followed by their joint trial, and on last May 30, Jeffords and Harrison were sentenced to die in the electric chair on June 15, while Treece heard the verdict that spared his life but condemned him to pass the remainder of his life in prison. Attornevs for Jeffords and Harris on appealed to the State Supreme Court, but their appeals were dis missed last Fall, and they were or dered to the circuit court for re sentencing. Harrison's attorney noted another appeal, this time to the United States Supreme Court, but Jeffords was resentenced to death, and December 22 was set as the day of execution. . His attorney carried the case to the United States Supreme Court, but Chief Justice Taft, after granting the attorney a Sunday night hearing, ruled that the case could not be reviewed by the highest tribunal. Jeffords had one more hope the possibility of executive clemency, and acting upon this hope, he for warded to Governor Harvey a per sonal letter, pleading that his sen tence be commuted to "something other than death." The chief execu tive replied that he would not inter fere with the judgment of the courts, and thus passed what was regarded as the last chance of the condemned man to escape paying the penalty prescribed by the jury that heard his case.

Intelli gence agents of the Bureau of the Internal Revenue, who havq been conducting an investigation into pro hibition violations here for several weeks, have discovered a new "rum pipe line" with headquarters in New Orleans and branches in seven States, it was learned today. The "line," which is said to be operated by a syndicate of boot leggers with a regular schedule of shipments, has been in operation "several months and has transported millions of dollars worth of liquor, Federal agents said. Two other "rum rings " one of which established a receiving sta tion in Chicago and specialized on train porters carrying suit case lots, and the other operating by means of express shipments, transporting cases of liquor in tin cases as well as in trunks, have been disbanded as a result of investigation by Fed eral Government agents, the au thorities claim. The new syndicate, it is charged, employs agents at a regular salary who travel between New Orleans and branch stations scattered throughout Texas and centralized in other States and in Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Cincinnati, Memphis, Nashville and Birming ham. Each agent, Federal agents said, poses as a traveling salesman and carries large "sample cases." Reports are on file here, they said, of agents who engaged staterooms and traveled with as many as four trunks, each containing from fifteen ten thirty cases of liquor. Arrests may be expected soon, the Federal men announced. Save Cold Biscuits Place cold bis cuits in the stove and brown until hard.

MORE TROOPS GO ON DUTY IN MASK MYSTERY (Continued froin.Fae One) was bing explored for the bodies of two missing men believed tc have been the victims of hooded men, re turned here shortly , after 8 o'clock this morning. , . Captain W. W. Cooper announced that the men fired on by the guards had disappeared and investigation after daylight failed to throw fur ther light on the purposes of their visit to the lake. The theory was advanced that the men. were attempting1 to remove the l odies of Watt Daniels and Thomas Richards, and that particular part of the. lake will be given special at tention by the explorers today. Eight men had r ten stationed at Coopef Lake, which was partially dragged yesterday. They had given instructions to fire on any I. ersons sear, about the lake who could not give an account of them selves. Shortly aft?r one o'clock sev eral men were seen some, distance from the shore, wading about in a shallow spot. They paid no atten tion to orders to surrender given by guarisme.i, according to a report to th-j officers of th3 company here. Several shots were fired at them and the men disappeared. It is bo ieved they made : their escape in a boat through one of the bayous open ing into the lake. PLAN TO STEAL BODIES. Two of tho guardsmen were sent to report to headquarters here, mak ing the eight-mile -r.:p cn foot, much of the way through a dense swamp. They arrived at M.er Rouge soon after three o'clock. The entire mili tia company was at once sent to the spot, making the tnp as far as possible, in motor truck?. . Up to five o'clock this morning nr. report had been received from them and it is believed here that they are awaiting daylight before making an investigation. Cooper Lake is surrounded by dense swamps and is in an inaccess ible part of Morehouse Parish, and it has been named as the spot where the bodies of .the two missing men, Major Watt Daniels and Thomas Fletcher Richards, might possibly have been thrown by their kidnap and Clothin AT BUY the Bankrupt Gents7 Furnishing Stock OF ers, according to rrZT private detectives.
