Decent Dressing.
Loton Horton, the milk king, was
talking at a New York dinner about
the modern woman’s “ultra” gowns.
“A prolifeer,” he said, “was dress¬
ing the other evening for the opera
when his wife stalked into his
dressing room. .
“ ‘Here you are,’ she hissed, ‘a war
profiteer getting 300 per cent divi¬
dends, and I've only got one decent
dress.’
He turned and looked her up and
down ; then he said:
■ “ ‘Well, I wish to goodness you’d
wear it!’ ”
Linguist Baffled.
Though she spoke English, French
German and Roumanian, the inter¬
preter traveling with American y. W.
C. A. secretaries in Roumania, struck
a snag when she came to Cluj, a
university center near Bucharest.
Hungarian was the popular tongue
there. The town,, formerly Kolozsvar,
is the home of Hungarian proprietors
and the seat of a former Hungarian
university. Out of 2,151 students,
only 120 were women. The Y. W. C.
A., which is carrying on work for
girls in Roumania at the invitation of
Queen Marie, is considering opening
a center for these college women.
Something Unusual.
“He must have a wonderful father
and mother.”
“Why?”
“He’s only nineteen and lie insists
on getting married.”
“But whiit is there about that to
show superior parentage?”
“Don't you see? He’s lived with
them for nineteen years and hasn’t
even the slightest suspicion that mar
rajge is filled with difficulties and re¬
sponsibilities. He thinks it’s all love
and roses.”
An Elaborate Responsibility.
“It’s a busy life,” remarked the man
who was waving a palm leaf fan.
“How have you been occupying your
selm?”
“Voting. It’s everybody’s duty to
vote. In addition to voting for state,
county and town officers. I voted in
the primaries, got -elected as a dele¬
gate and voted over and over in the
convention. Of course, I'm going to
vote in the fall election, and I only
hope they’ll let me round out my
record by putting me in the electoral
college.”
Will Build Homes for Employees.
One of the largest London dry-goods
merchants, with a view of doing his
bit toward overcoming' the housing
shortage and also to enable his own
employees to secure houses at reason¬
able rates, and with no desire to make
even a penny profit, recently acquired
a large tract of land with the inten¬
tion of building thereon several hun¬
dred dwelling houses which could be
let at reasonable rates.
Too Vague.

GERMANS PRESENT
REPARATION PLANS
GERMANS SPECIFY THAT
AGREEMENT ON FUEL WILL
MODIFY PROPOSALS
COAL QUESTION DISCUSSED
Dr. Simons Makes Plea for Open Dis¬
cussions by Both Parties, Instead
of One-Sided Discussions
Spa, Belgium.—After some hesita¬
tion, due to the coal question, the Ger¬
man delegates produced their plan
showing how Germany would deal
with reparations, but they specified
that the decision reached regarding
coal would modify their proposals.
The allied experts have declared
they did not consider that even the
figures submitted by the Germans
would justify modifications of the pro¬
tocol signed July 9, hut admitted the
justice of the German experts’ plea on
two points: first, relieving Germany
of the obligation of reporting to the
reparations commission regarding the
distribution of coal within Germany,
and, second, approving the proposal to
increase tire output by improving the
food and welfare of the miners and
suggesting that the German and allied
governments discuss means to this
end.
The plenary session of the confer¬
ence began at 5:30 o’clock, with Lord
Curzon representing Great Britain in¬
stead of Premier Lloyd-George, who
was confined to his room all day with
a cold. The conference immedately
took up the coal question, the experts
having failed to come to an agree¬
ment.
Dr. Simons, at the outset of the ses¬
sion, remarked that coal was the cen¬
tral point of the whole economic life
of Germany.
Dr. Simons rejoined that the Ger¬
man delegation had prepared plans
that must be studied as a whole
The German delegation retired to
reconsider the matter, and on the re¬
sumption of the session the foreign
secretary declared that since the final
decision regarding coal could not be
taken at once, the German delegation
had decided to hand over the plans
as prepared, but he added that the
Spa conference had for its object the
substitution of an open discussion by
the allied and German delegates for
one-sided decisions on various ques¬
tions.
Is Dashed To Death Riding Niagara
Niagara Falls, N. Y.—Charles G.
Stephens of Bristol, England, was kill¬
ed when he went over the Horseshoe
falls in a barrel. The cask in which
he made the trip though built of stout
Russian oak staves and bound with
steel hoops, was smashed like an egg
shell on the jagged rocks at the base
of the cataract. Pieces of the barrel
were picked up near the hank on the
Canadian side.
Greek Forces Clash With Italians
Constantinople.—Greek and Italian
troops have clashed at Nazilli, 25
miles northeast of Aidin, in the Italian
zone. The Greeks claimed the right
to enter the Italian zone in pursuit
of Turkish nationalists organizing at¬
tacks there against the Greeks. The
Italians claimed that they were polic¬
ing the district and declared that they
were not willing to permit the Greeks
to intervene. The feeling is described
as extremely bitter between the
ian and Greek officials.
Tennessee Labor Quizzing Candidates
Chattanooga, Term.—Candidates
governor in Tennessee are being quiz¬

their attitude on eight different pieces
of legislation which will be favored by
the unions at the next session of the

are to be presented to all candidates
for the legislature, it is reported. The
questions propounded deal with anti¬

THE COVINGTON NEWS, COVINGTON, GEORGIA
I. G. C CONCLUDES HEARING
It Is Assumed That Employees and
Carriers' Wage Controversy Will
Be Taken Into Consideration
Washington.—Hearings were closed
before the interstate commerce com¬
mission on the railroads’ application
for increased freight rates which has
been described by shippers and car¬
riers alik6 as the greatest single prop¬
osition people ever submitted to the
commission.
Decision by the commission on the
application is expected early in Aug¬
ust in order that the new rates may
be effective when the government
guarantee expires September 1. It
is generally assumed that the forth¬
coming award of the railroad labor
board in the employees and carriers
wage controversy will be taken into
consideration without further hearings
in adjusting the new schedules.
The railroads under the provisions
of the transportation act asked rate
advances which would yield an added
yearly income of $1,017,000,000 to pro¬
vide the 6 per cent return permitted
by the law. In addition to the ex¬
pense to be created by the expected
award of the railroad labor board, es¬
timated at between $500,000,000 and
$1,000,000,000 must be met by further
increases, the carriers claim.
Opposition on the part of the ship¬
pers was confined mainly in the
amount of the increases asked by the
carriers, 30 per cent in the east, 31
per cent in the South and 24 per cent
in the West, which it was argued were
too high. The necessity for some ad¬
vance was generally conceded. Many
shippers disapproved of a general ad¬
vance and suggested flat increases on
certain commodities.
Closing argument for the railroads,
A. P. Thom, general counsel for the
Association of Railway Executives,
told the commission that when the la¬
bor board’s decision was handed down
the carriers would ask that part of
the further rate advance should be
borne by the passenger traffic.
Inadequate service is more costly
than high rates. Mr. Thom contended
adding that the public desires proper
transportation for the commerce of
the country above all else.
MOB (N TEXAS BURNS
TWO NEGROES AT STAKE
Sheriff Declares One of the Blacks
Wrong Man and Other
Doubtful
Paris, Texas.—Irving and Herman
Arthur, negroes, aged 19 and 28
years, brothers, who shot and killed
their landlord, J. H. Hodges, and his
son, William Hodges,, on the latter’s
place northeast of Paris, were burned
at the stake on the fair grounds here
after having been taken from a jail
by a mob.
The negroes were captured by La¬
mar (Texas) county officers and posse
last night at Valiant, Okla., and were
brought here and placed in jail. It
was thought that there would bd no
trouble, but later a crowd gathered,
quickly increased and finally stormed
the jail, on the top floor of the court¬
house, breaking down the iron outer
door and took the negroes.
There was no disorder except the
yelling of the crowd as the negroes
were brought out. The prisoners
were taken directly to the fair ground,
north of the city, where a stake and
fuel had been prepared. Here they ,
were burned. The affair was over by
9 o’clock.
The killing of Hodges and his son
is said to have resulted from a dis¬
pute over money claimed by the farm¬
er to be owed him by his negro ten¬
ants.
Idabel, Okla.—J. W. DeWitt, sheriff
of McCurtain county, Oklahoma, quot¬
ed Sheriff C. D. Clarkson, of Paris,
Tex., as declaring one of the two ne¬
groes lynched at Paris was “not the
right one,” and that he was doubtful
whether the “other was the right
party.” The Paris sheriff went on in¬
to the Arkansas on the trail of the
two negroes he believes killed the
Texas farmer and his son.
Wilson Preparing Call For League
Washington.—The call to be issued
by President Wilson for the first
meeting of the assembly of the league
of nations in November is now in
preparation, it was said at the state
department, and will be issued with¬
in a short time. It is understood the
meeting will be held either at Geneva
or Brussels.
Wrangle Destroys Red Cavalry Corps
London. — The British war office
gave out a mesage, the source of
which was withheld, saying that the
j«cavalry of General Wrangel, the anti
Bolshevik commander in Southern
Russia, had encircled a Bolshevik
cavalry corps consisting of eighteen
regiments on which the Wrangel
forces concentrated a fire from ar¬
mored trains and airplanes. The mes¬
sage declares only 150 of the Bolshe
viki escaped, 1,000 prisoners being
taken, and the battlefield left cover¬
ed with dead.
With Tin Pistol He Tries To Rob
New York.—Armed with a tin imi¬

light and a home-made mask, Ray¬
mond Weir, of Patterson, N. J., is al¬
leged to have attempted to rob the
Andrew Carnegie mansion in Fifth
avenue. Weir, who has been lame
since a child, the police say, climbed
a high spiked fence and crawled to
the ledge on the second floor of the
house, when his grip relaxed and he
fell. He was picked up in a stunned
condition bv detectives
Q[Q JAJ9FF ACT
MAY BE REVIVED
MERCHANT MARINE TO BRINC
INTO FORCE LAW OF 1913, IM
POSING DISCRIMINATION
DUTY ON ALLFOREIGN GOODS
New Shipping Bill Imposes 5 Per Cenf
Duty On Goods Entering U. S.
In All Foreign Bottoms
Washington.—Operation of the mer
chant marine act will bring into force
the section of the Underwood tarifi
law of 1913 imposing a discriminator}
duty of 5 per cent on goods entering
the United States in foreign bottoms
in the opinion of some diplomats whe
have studied the new shipping bill.
Application of this section of the
Underwood act was suspended by s
decision of the supreme court in 1917
because the act provides that the dis
criminatory duty should not apply il
in conflict with any reserved treat}
right. The court held that the.section
w T as in conflict with the provision oi
the treaty of 1815 between the Unitat
States and Great Britain.
This treaty, along with similai
treaties with a score of other coun
tries, must be abrogated under the
merchant marine law, which author
izes and directs the president withiE,
ninety days after the shipping lav
becomes effective to give notice “tc
the several governments, respectively
pai’ties to such treaties or conventions
that so much thereof as imposes an}
such restriction on the United States
will terminate on the expiration oi
such periods as may he required foi
the giving of such notice by the pro
visions of such treaties or conven
tions.”
In the case of the British treaty
one year’s notice is necessary anc
consequently no discriminatory dut}
can be imposed on goods entering the
United States in British bottoms untii
the expiration of that period.^
Some diplomats believe that it was
the clear intent of congress to reserve
to itself the right to impose the dis
criminatory duties by future legisla
tion, but they declare that unless such
legislation is enacted before the
treaties are abrogated the 5 per cenl
discriminatory duty imposed by the
Underwood’ law automatically will
come into force.
The contention is based on the
ground that the supreme court did no)
declare this section of the Under
wood law unconstitutional, but merely
inoperative because of a provision ir
the law itself that such duties coulc
not be imposed if in conflict with any
reserved treaty right.
SiNN FEIN COURTS
COMING INTO POWER
Rapidly Superseding In Influence Thi
Crown Tribunals, Evidence
Now Indicates
Dublin, Ireland.—Evidence is piling
up here which seemingly would indi¬
cate that the newly organized Sinn,
Fein courts rapidly are superseding in
power the crown tribunals. A great
number of cases on appeal are being
withdrawn from the crown supreme
court because it is stated that the liti¬
gants have little confidence in the
'power of that court. For the same
reason it is alleged unionists are ap¬
pealing to the Sinn Fein courts. One
unionist attorney is credited with say¬
ing that it was useless to take a case
before the crown court, and that as
his client desired quick action he took
the case to a Sinn Fein tribunal.
In many parts of the provinces Sinn
Feiners have taken over control oi
liquor selling and have issued orders
to saloons regarding the hours of clos¬
ing.
Railwaymen who have been dis
missed for refusing to move trains
they carrying acting police within or soldiers the board contend of j
are
trade regulations in refusing to work '
because of restrictions against
carrying of “dangerous objects.’ 1
. The military which has been guard¬
ing all roads into Dublin for the past
few days, is carefully examining ev¬
eryone who passes.
Vera Cruz Reports 46 Plague Cases
Vera Cruz.—An official report made
public by the sanitary commission ol
this city says that since the begin
ning of the bubonic plague there have
been forty-six cases of the disease and
thirteen deaths. Recently very few,
cases have been reported. Last week j
there were three cases and this week, i
only one. The epidemic seems to have
been of a mild character, most of the
deaths occurring when no medicines
were available. Since medicines have
been relieved almost all those strick¬
en with the plague have recovered.
Jury To Try Communist Party Men
Chicago. — A jury to try twenty
members of the communist party on
a charge of conspiring to overthrow
the government, was completed after
nearly nine weks of challenging by
both sides. During this time nearly
1,400 veniremen were examined and
rejected, because they felt they could
not hear impartially evidence aganist
the communists. William Bross •Lloyd
millionaire sergeant-at-arms of the
Communist party, is the chief defend
ant.
TRADE RESTRICTIONS LIFTED
8tep Ic Regarded As “Putting One
Over” the British In Some Official
Quarters In Washington
Washington.—Restrictions on trade
between the United States and soviet
Russia have been removed by the
state department. At the same time
the department gave out the vigorous
assertion that “political recognition,
present or future,” is in no Bense
granted or implied by this action, and
warned all American firms contem¬
plating trading ventures in Russia
that they would have to carry them
out at their own risk, with no.govern¬
mental backing.
The department’s announcement
says :
“The restrictions which have here¬
tofore stood in the way of trade and
communication with soviet Russia
were removed by action of the depart¬
ment of state. Such of these resthic
tions, however, as pertain to the ship¬
ment of material susceptible of iip
mediate use for war purposes will, for
the present, at least, be maintained.
“Political recognition, present or
future, of any Russian authority ex¬
ercising or claiming to exercise gov¬
ernmental functions, is neither grant¬
ed ncr implied by this action. It
should be emphasized, moreover, that
individuals or corporations availing
themfeelves of the present opportuni¬
ty to trade with Russia will do so
on their own responsibility and at
their own risk.
“The situation which at present
prevails relative to travel from or to
Russia will be unaffected by the
moval or trade restrictions. Pass¬
ports for Russia cannot be issued, noi
will any change be made in the visa
regulations now in force.
“Since it is not desirable at this
rime to undertakke negotiations with
the soviet postal authorities, the post
office department will be unable to
accept mail from or to soviet Russia.
There has never been any parcel post
convention between the - United
States and Russia, and this mode of
forwarding goods is, therefore, Una
variable.”
WASHINGTON TO RECOGNIZE
DE LA HUERTA REGIME
IF REFORMS ARE ASSURED
Mexican Ruler Must Give Satisfactory
Pledges That He Will Main¬
tain Order
Washington.—The Mexican situa
rion is receiving more careful study
by the American government than has
any subject since the Paris peace con¬
ference, it was stated, at the state
department. This is with a view to
according recognition to De La Huer¬
ta’s provisional government, provided
satisfactory assurances are given that
it can and will maintain order and
will live up to its obligations respect¬
ing the protection of the lives and
property of foreigners.
American officials, it is stated au¬
thoritatively, are impressed with the
evident sincerity of the expressions
of De La Huerta and of the efforts
to bring about order in Mexico, but
they have taken note that the active
workers in the various departments
of the Mexican government have not
been changed and that the newly ap¬
pointed cabinet officers leave the
work of their offices chiefly to the
same men who conducted the affairs
under Carranza.
Reports reaching Washington from
Mexico City state that foreigners who
went to the Mexican capital to com¬
pose the differences between their
companies—agricultural, mining and
manufacturing—are forced to deal
with the very men who hampered
their work.
Iglesias Calderon, the special envoy
sent by De La Huerta to urge recog¬
nition, will ask for another conference
with Acting Secretary Davis
Woman Killed By Foui^Year-Old Son
Greenville, Ky.—When Mrs. Willis
Graham, 26 years old, tried to stop
her 4-year-old son, Harold, from carry¬
ing a loaded shotgun out of theii
home near here, the child pulled the
trigger. The full load entered the
mother’s breast, killing her instantly.
Mrs. Graham had put down a nursing
infant to restrain the child with th/
gun.
Britain To Renew Jap Alliance
London.—Announcement has been
made here that Britain will probably
renew her alliance with Japan, which
expires July 20, 1921. The renewed
treaty, it is declared, will contain the
clause which was inserted in the re¬
vision cf 1811, safeguarding Britain
against being called upon to support
Japan in any quarrel with the United
States. This, it is added, will be the
first treaty of importance to he sub¬
mitted to the league of nations for
approval.
Seaplane Guided By Radio Signals
Washington.—Guided entirely by
radio compass signals, a navy sea¬
plane F-5-L left Norfolk and flew
ninety-five miles on a beeline to pick
up the battleship Ohio at sea, with no
knowledge at the time of taking the
air of the vessel’s location. The sea
plane then navigated its return to
Norfolk nirely by radio compass. Navy
department officials to whom the fligt
was reported said it was the first time
radio compass apparatus had been
used to d rect aircraft to a ship.
