Brooklyn Brown, with the butt of a gun

His condition was said not to be se
rious despite the fact that the physician
found it necessary to take a number of
stitches in closing the wound oil his head.
The quarrel started early this morning

arguing and then exchanged blows. Har
dy's family,.his son and his wife, en
tered the altercation and drove Glenn
from the farm which belongs to Mr.

EUROPEAN PARTY DOING
FINE FIRST DAY OUT
H. W. Blanks Semis Radio Message to
Tinies-Tribune Saying “All Well.” ■

from New York with H. W. Blanks for 1
an European trip, were ‘‘all well” Sun-'
day. according to a message sent by Mr.

Times and The Tribune. The message j
was sent by radio from the steamship
Leviathan via New York City and read: .
“Wonderful trip. All well. Notify I
friends. \
“BLANKS.”
This message sets at rest rumors that

ner such a report became current here
yesterday morning but apparently it was
without foundation.

made arrangements to send messages to
The Times and The Tribune at stated
intervals, and if he is able to carry out
his plans relatives and friends of- the
members of the party can keep in touch
with them througli the medium of these
messages.

NO INQUEST INTO THE
DEATH OF ALBERT MADDOX
Coroner Thinks Man’s Death Was Due to
i Blows Received From Belt at Pump
Station. •
! Rock Hill. S. C., July 6—Coroner Mc
; Corkle of Yorke County, today derided
1 that an inquest into the death of Albert
i Maddox, hydro electric power operator of
the Southern Power C’o., would be unnec
essary.
Maddox died Saturday afternoon after
being unconscious since Thursday” when
he was found at the company’s develop
ment project seven miles from Rock Hill.
A private investigation by the coroner,
he stated, revealed the fact that Maddox
was struck by a belt of a pump at the
dam which threw him down an embank
ment.
Two marks found on the dead man’s
body, one on the left side of his neck
and one on his left arm, were caused by
the belt, the coroner decided.
EYCK OF COMPETITION
BOOSTING COAL PRICES
i
This Is Suggestion Made by the Federal
Trade Commission In Report Prepared
Foi\ Congress.
Washington, July 6.—Congress is ask
ed in a report by the Federal Trade Com
mission to restore the anthracite industry
to a “normal, competitive basis” and
thus assure an adequate supply at reason
able prices.
The report dealing with the past high
prices of the fuel viewed “persistent ef
forts of the Department of Justice to
disintegrate the anthracite combination”
as successful to a large degree, and sug
gested similar action by Congress to ob
viate high premium prices in times of ac
tual or anticipated storage. Complete
restoration of competition in the indus
try, in the opinion of the commission
would be preferable to price regulation.
