Chile Accepted The Principle Of Com
promise Proposed Several
Days Ago
GOVERN&R HARDWICK SENDS HIS
MESSAGE TO PRINTER—WILL
DELIVER IT IN PERSON
Brief News Items Gathered Here Anc
There From All Sections Of
The State
£ Washington.—A final agreement b<?
i tween Chile and Peru for arbitration ol
Tacna-Arica dispute awaited only th?
smoothing out of the wording and in
terpretation of the American compro
mise formula.
Peruvian Ambassador Pazet and the
two Peruvian delegates to the Wash
ington conference arranged during the
day to call on Secretary Hughes for the
purpose, it was understood of communi
cating Peru’s acceptance of the com-
.promise plan ‘‘in principle,” and ol
asking the secretary to clear up a por
tion of the formula to which varying
interpretations have been attatched.
Chile, having accepted the principle
of the compromise proposal nearly u
.week ago, it was indicated that active
exchanges regarding the exact lan
guage of the formula would begin im
mediately. Both sides appeared anx
ious to proceed as rapidly as possible
in the hope of bringing the conference
to an end during the present week.
•The effort to frame an exact word
ing for the formula begun several days
ago by representatives of both sides,
,was interrupted to await the return oi
.Secretary Hughes from a week-end trip
| because it was felt no progress could
be made until he had cleared up the
'misunderstanding over the no-plebiscite
feature of this plan.
WOODMEN OF WORLD TO
MEET AT HENDERSONVILLE
Dutch Fear Kaiser WIN Leave Doom
London.—Apprehension exists in
Holland lest former Kaiser William
attempts to slip away from Doom and
re-enter Germany in the event of a
royalist rising in the assassination ol
- .'Foreign Minister Thaneau, to the cor
respondent of the Daily, Mail, at Tlte
Hague. The writer, however, quotes
J. B. Kan, secretary of the Dutch home
Dffice, as saying that- such apprehen
sion is groundless. ‘‘We have no evi
dence that the kaiser has any such in
dention,’> he said, "and the surveil
lance maintained around him is so
close that it would be impossible for
him to get qway, even if he wished.’
Trouble Starts At The Hague Parley
The Hague. — Bolshevik Russia
wants credit before anything else.
This pronouncement was made by Max
im Litvinoff, head of the Russian del
egation, which arrived here, in his
first statement to the press, and it'
has created consternation among the
representatives of the European coun
tries here because they had virtually
agreed to discuss credits last of all—
after some tentative accord had been
reached on the questions of private
property and Russian debts. Some of
imperil the conference.
,Flve Are Victims In Mine Tragedy
Huntington, Ark.—Bodies of the five
Victims of- a mine tragedy near here
have been recoverd and preparations
completed for the funerals. John
iRoberts, 38; Youncy Roberts, 10;
Roland Porter, 18; Dolly Robinson, 14,
and Edith Robinson, 11, were located
in. mine No. 6 of the Central Coal and
Coke company, idle since the strike
began. Four sacrificed their lives to
rescue the Roberts boy, who tiredJPom
berry picking, sat on the side ot the
'snountain near the air hole of the mine.
Hendersonville, N. C.—Henderson
ville during the greater part of Jul>
.will virtually be the national head
quarters of the Woodmen of th?
.World. For three weeks beginning
July 3, the sovereign executive coun
cil of that great fraternal and insur
'ance order will be in session here, and
during this time the site for a national
‘home for ill and disabled Woodmen
will be selected. Hendersonville is
•making a strenuous bid for this in
stitution on which will be spent sev
eral millions of dollars. Other cities
'in the Land of the Sky are likewise
bidding for the , home. Duncraggac
.Inn, a fashionable mountain resorl
hotel, will be occupied solely by the
Woodmen officials. Telephone, tele
graph and radio services have been
installed for their convenience, and
indications point to the transaction ol
a large volume of business. Sovereigr
Commander W. A. Fraser, the supreme
official of the order, will preside ovei
the council’s sessions. He and his
30 or more associates have never be
fore held a council meeting outside
the city of Omaha. Their coming tc
North Carolina therefore, means mucli
to Woodcraft in the southeast. The
North Carolina Head Camp will hold
.its annual meeting in Hendersonville,
■beginning Friday, June 30, in ordei
•that it might formally welcome the
distinguished visitors.

Atlanta.—The annual fifty-day ses
slon of the Georgia legislature con
venes June 28, and Governor Hard
wick’s recommendations will he pre
sented in an address to be delivered
to the senate and house in join ses
sion at noon. 1
Governor Hardwick finished his mes
sage the middle of last week and-sent
it to the printer. Copies will be fur
nished the members of the house anc
senate and the newspapers of the state
In this message, which the governoi
plans to deliver in person, ho wil!
touch on the matters of leading import
ance. Other special matters will be
presented from time to time in spocia 1
messages.
Fiscal affairs of the state, it is un
derstpod, will constitute one of the sub
divisions of the governor’s message
He will show, he stated that all cur
rent debts are paid, that there is s
small balance in the treasury, and tliai
the state’3 revenue remaining to he
collected this year -will be sufficient
to pay the remainder of this year’s
appropriations. The treasury balance
is not, the governor stated, large
enough to invite or justify the making
of deficiency appropriations.-
The taxation question in all of ite
phases will form another feature oi
the message. The governor will set
forth at length and in detail his rea
sons for advocating a state income ta>
as a means of obtaining revenue from
invisible property. He will present
figures showing that less than 6 pei
cent of the state’s ad valorem revenue
Is paid.,hy invisible property, while vis
ibl'e and tangible property, which cat
not escape the eye of the tax-gatherei
pays more than 94 per cent.
Governor Hardwick will urge witl
great emphasis the establishment ol
a system of auditing and accounting
for all state departments, institutions
and agencies. In this connection h«
will call attention to the report ol
efficiency engineers who have recentlj
made a survey of a portion of th«
state government. They assert that *
department of auditing, and accounting
would save the state during the re
mainder of this year and next yeai
not less than $200,000, and that the
saving might run as high as $500,00(
in that length of time. The governoi
will urge legislation requiring all de
1 partments, institutions and agencies
to submit to legislature, before appro
priatlons are given them, budgets
showing the amounts they propose tq
expend, the results they expect to ac
complish, the salaries they expect tc
pay, etc., and will urge the making
of all appropriations in itemized form
,with the requirement that all expend!
[tures coincide therewith, except ir
special cases where transfers of funds
from one account to another are shown
to he necessary.
