PARIS, Sept. 2.—(By the Associat
ed Press.) —The date for the evacua
tion of Dortmund and the surround
ing territory to the River Lippe has
not yet been definitely fixed, but
Dne thing has been settled, namely,
that the withdrawal of tne troops

some morning to find the French
goops gone.
The order, it is - stated, will be
given after sunset and the opera
;ion conducted during the night.
This method of evacuation has
>een adopted, it is explained, in or
ler to ward off any possible inci
lent by the exliuberant citizens ex
messing relief by words or acts
vhich might develop into an insult
o the French flag or army.
The withdrawal, however, is still
tome weeks away, it is declared, as
ha French customs officers on the
eastern frontier of the occupied ter
itory are not due to leave, -accord
ng to the London pact, until Sep
ember 20, and the troops will re
nain there until all the French
livilian occupants have left.

MT HEROIC AFFAIR.
CBAWLEYS DECLARE
GAINESVILLE; Ga., Sept. I.
Stories which have been in wide cir
culation of how S. Glenn Young.
Ku Klux Klan liquor raider and
former United States deputy mar
shal, “captured single-handed”
George and' Decatur Crawley and
Blaine Stewart while they were in
hiding, heavily armed, in their moun
tain stronghold, are being discount
ed here because of the Crawley
brothers' own storj' of how the ar
rest occurred.
It was back in the early part of
191!) that Young, described at the
time as an interpid and daring fed
eral officer, invaded the mountains,
in which the Crawleys and Stewart
were hiding and brought them in.
According to stories at that time
Young took them by surprise, cover
ed them with his pistols and forced
them to surrender, despite the fact
that they all were heavPy armed
and constantly on the alert.
The Crawley brothers, whose story
has just come to light despite the
fact that they now are at large,
having escaped from the chaingang
to which they were sentenced, have
a different tale to tell regarding
the arrest.
They say they sent for Young
and surrendered to him voluntarily
on condition that the large reward
for their apprehension be divided
with their aged mother, and on the
further condition that they be made
federal prisoners and sent to the
federal penintentiary instead of the
chaingang as state prisoners.
This story, decidedly different from
that told by Young at the time of
the arrest, was told to the Hall
county jailers and guards by the
Crawley brothers. It has occasioned
wide interest here recently in view
of news stories.out of Atlanta, which
quoted Young recently as declaring
that of Herrin. 111., gunmen
were on their way thee to get
him.
Africa Is Giving Up
Yams in Favor of
Regular Wheat Bread
WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.—Natives
of British and French West Africa
are rapidly adopting yeast bread
made of wheat flour as a regular
item of diet, and agriculture depart
ment officials foresee an increased
trade in flour with that territory.
The growing demand for wheat
flour is the result of laborers being
recruited from the interior for serv
ice in the seaport towns where, ac
cording to American Consul W. J.
Yerby at Dakar. Senegal, it is quite
common for these laborers to make
a meal of a loaf of bread and a tin
of water. Baker's bread is replac
ing millet mush and rice in Senegal
and Gambia, Consul Yerby reports,
cassava and manioc dumpling and
rice in French Guinea, Sierra Leong,
and Liberia, and maize yams in the
Ivory Coast. Gold Coast. Dahomey
and Nigeria.
Thirty years ago imports of wheat
flour into that part of Africa were
almost negligible, the small quanti
les received being used by a few
traders and government officials.
U FOLLETTE'S GUMS
SPIKED 8T DAVIS 111
LABOR GAY JMFSS
BY DAVID LAWRENCE
(Special Leased Wire to The Journal—Copy
right. 1924.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.—Labor
day’s utterances from the three pres
idential candidates may appe?r on
the surface to be simulv a plea foi
the labor vote, as there was a dis
tinct friendliness to the causa of
working men expressed in the speech
es of President Coolidge, John A. Da
.vis and Senator La Follette. But the
labor leaders themselves recogniz?
many differences in he attitudes of
the candidates and these differences
are fundamental.
First, on the vote of the railroad
brotherhoods and their tens ot
thousands of members, Senator La
Follette and John W._ Davis went
over completely to the viewpoint
of railroad labor and incidentally the
American Federation of Labor with
respect to the abolition of the United
States labor board. President Cool
idge cautiously- referred to. the board
as an experiment which “could be
modified to the benefit of all con
cerned.”
The acid test of whether a candi
date is friendly to railroad labor is
the Howell-Barkley bill, providing
for abolition of the railroad labot
board, which was up in the last ses
sion of congress an i was successful
ly sidetracked by administration lead
ers. Mr. Davis and Mr. La Follette
expressed on Monday views identical
with the purpose of the Howell-
Barkley bill. The president himself
expressed no opinion when the meas
ure was under discussion and has
not committed himself yet. Railroad
labor wants a definite pledge. It al
ready had Senator La Follette and
it already had the support of a sub
stantial number of Democrats in th»
senate and house, but it must have
been surprised to receive the sup
port of John W. Davis, who has
been characterized as a middle-of-the
road candidate on labor questions,
sometimes in the past arguing the
cause of the employer and sometimes
the employe.
Davis' Attitude Significant
Mr. Davis’ support of the prirsci
ple of the Howard-Barkley bill is an
event of tremendous significance in
the campaign, for if he can indorse
that measure he may' be found
fighting alongside Senator La Fol
lette on other questions vitally af
fecting agriculture as well as labor.
Senator La Follette, however, was
alone in his outright declaration in
favor of the repeal of the Esch-
Cummins transportation act. This
is another acid test of radicalism
as against conservatism. Wrapped
up in that act is the problem of
freight rates, the radicals contend
ing that since the railroads are per
mitted to earn a certain per cent
of their investment they manage to
pile up costs and operate their sys
tems so extravagantly that there is
no opportunity to obtain lower
freight rates.
Under the transportation act the
interstate commerce commission can
n’ot reduce freight rates unless it
reduces the earning power of the
railroads. Senator La. Follette would
repeal rate-making sections of the
present law and perform a surgical
operation on the whole railroad prob
lem. John W, Davis as yet has in
dicated merely that he wished
freight rates reduced and he has ex
pressed the belief that some way
could be found, but has not specifi
cally pointed the way. Unless he is
willing to attack the transportation
act and point to a constructive
remedy, many of the radicals in the
west will not follow him. As for
President Coolidge, he has commit
ted himself definitely to the reten
tion of the transportation act with
respect to the earning clauses for
railroads and has said he would ap
point a commission of inquiry to
study the problem of freight rates.
Mr. Coolidge made important
declaration on the general principles
affecting labor. He repeated what
President Harding said about the
right of labor to collective bargain
ing, and ho made his position abso
lutely clear on compulsory arbitra
tion which has been one of the ten
ets of manufacturing associations
and anti-labor speakers for many
years.
Mr. Coolidge's statement that he
could not reconcile compulsory ar
bitartion with individual freedom
will be quoted for many years to
come. No political candidate and no
president has ever come out flatly
in favor of compulsory arbitration of
labor disputes, so in a sense what
Mr. Coolidge says is merely the, same
doctrine that has been held by his
predecessors, but in view of Mr.
Coolidge’s position in the Boston
police strike he has from time to
time been on the defensive with re
spect to labor. His speech on Mon
day is the clearest exposition he has
yet made, and in it will be found ad
herence to a number of principles
for which labor leaders have con
stantly fought, though labor's na
tional spokesmen probably’ will soy
the president did not go far enough.
Mr. Coolidge made it clear he
would not go over to any one class
or group. Yet that is what both la
bor and agriculture really want. Sen
ator Ln Follette has already done
so. John W. Davis is on the edge,
and nearer to the La Follette view
point today than he was in his
speech of acceptance. Charles G.
Dawes’ observation that there was
no room for compromise between
radicalism and conservatism, and
that the Democratic candidate must
go with one or the other is slowly’ be
ing corroborated, though the chances
are Mr. Davis in the end will never
go completely over to the La Follette
standpoint, but will maneuver him
self closer to the Wisconsin senator
than to President Coolidge. On none
of the proposed changes in the con
stitution will the Democratic nomi
nee follow La Follette.
Incidentally, it is significant that
Mr. Davis has come out against a
federal department of education.
Strange as it may seem, this has
been tied up with religious cleavages
in the last few years, as the Catholic
church has been supposed in con
gressional circles to be one of the
leading opponents of such a depart
ment. Mr. Davis says he thinks the
educational problem should be left to
the states. To a certain extent this
will help get for Mr. Davis much of
the anti-klan vote, which he began
to corral with his Seagirt speech.

At 12:05 o'cldck eastern standard
time the airmen passed over the
cruiser Milwaukee, stationed approx
imately 100 miles from Hawkes Bay.
With a slight breeze behind them
the airmen, following the western
coast of Newfoundland and flying
approximately thirty miles off shore,
were rapidly approaching Cape Rap
i at the southern tip of Newfoundland
| at 1 o’clock.
Although the weather was unfa
vocable early in the day, it began to
clear before ten o’clock and the de-
I stroyer Barry, in direct communica
tion from her dock here with the
Charles Ausburn at Hawkes Bay, N.
F., sent word to the latter that con
ditions at this end were favorable.
Pictou was all dressed up for 'the
American fliers' coming, with streets
gaily’ decorated with the Stars and
Stripes, and welcome signs hanging
from windows and from business
houses.
lhe Canadian destroyer Patriot
was standing by here, ready to aid
C necessary, and a plane from the
Canadian air force was placed at
the disposal of Commander Conant
Taylor, of the Barry, to go out and
greet the fliers on their arrival.
The destroyer chain, as it was
made vp when the fog and rain came
in this morning, included the Charles
Ausburn at the start, the Coughlan
cn station midway, the cruiser Rich
mond traversing the route and the
Barry stationed here.
From every ship came the word of
threatening weather.
At Pictou Lieutenants Leigh
Wade and H. H. Ogden, whose plane
the “Boston,” was wrecked after a
forced landing at sea between the
Orkney islands and Iceland, waited
for their former comrades. Wade
and Ogden have been provided with
another plane, christened the “Bos
ton, II,” in which they hope to ac
company their comrades to the/ Pa
cific coast, thus completing the first
aerial journey around the world. The
flight yesterday' from Ice Tickle re
quired five hours and forty-five
minutes.
The aviators’ route lay from Cape
j Bay across Cabot Strait to St. Paul

Tuberculosis Declines
In All Nations Except
Germany and Japan
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.—Reports
from 23 countries representing one
third of the population of the world,
compiled by’ G. J. Drolet, statistic
ian of the New York Tuberculosis
association, indicate that in the last
43 years more than 18.000.000 peo
ple have died from pulmonary tu
berculosis. according to a statement
issued today by' the association.
In practically all of the countries
studied the death rate from tuber
culosis is declining, with the excep
tion of Japan, where there is a mark
ed increase. The central European
countries showed an increase dur
i ing the war, but so far as figures
are available since the war there
has been a decline. At the present
time, however, the death rate in
Germany seems again to be mount
ing.
In the United States the death
rate from tuberculosis has steadily
fallen from nearly 300 in 1880 to
97 for each 100,900 of population in
1922.

Prices Are Going Up
FOR several years the national papers and maga
zines have been fighting hard for Southern
subscribers, in the fierce competition for circula
tion in Dixie they have been cutting their prices
• away below the cost of mailing out their periodicals.
As a result, our readers have been able to get
the cream of the periodicals through Tri-Weekly
journal clubs at ridiculously low cost.
That bitter competition is about to be replaced
by saner and sounder business methods on the part
of those publishers. • So clubbing prices are go
ing up.
You will always -be able to get clubs through
us as cheaply as from any other publication—but
we will have to increase our prices on all combi
nations on October 1.
Subscribe now and save money. If your sub
scription expires within the next six months it will
pay you to renew now if you want clubbing com
binations.
We have the other publishers tied up with con
tracts till October 1. They can’t raise their prices
to us before that date. Until then you can get
any of the combinations listed on Page 5 at the
remarkable bargain prices which have been in force
since January 1. But the price of every one o.f
them will go up in a little over thirty days.
Don’t wait till it is too late. Act now.
October 1 is the last day.

from Adjutant General Black, who
early today left here for Springfield,
members of two Illinois national
guard companies, who were rushed
' here Saturday to prevent further
■ bloodshed between klan and anti
klan factions, rolled their packs and
slung their rifles, but left seventeen
men under command of Captain
j Harold M* Bigelow with orders to
remain and patrol the city until such
time as Sheriff George Galligan saw
fit to release them.
In Marion reports indicated the
sole sign of preparedness was in evi
dence about the county courthouse,
where armed deputies maintained a
vigil which was started when the
sheriff and his deputies fled last
Saturday.
The order for withdrawal of
troops came yesterday despite a

Reid and Otto Rowland, who suf
fered fatal wounds during the fu
rious gun fire, were buried; while
today ' ceremonies were performed
for the remaining dead, Sheriff J.

The preliminary hearing of Dr. R.
J. Black and Claude Craig, charged
with murder in connection with the
killing of six men here Saturday,
was continued until September 12.
Failure of Assistant State’s Attorney
Roy Henson to appear was given r.s
the reason for the continuation. The
hearing was set before Police Mag
istrate Abe Hicks, by whom the war
rants had been issued.
A delegation from the Williamson
County Ministers’ association went,
to Marion this morning to ask the
county board to request Sheriff Gal
ligan’s resignation.
This action followed a statement
yesterday by the Ministers’ associa
tion in which both the state’s attor
ney and the sheriff were classed as
incompetents and their removal from
office suggested as the one remedy for
a situation tnat has long harrassed
the townspeople of Herrin, cost the
lives of many men and the money
of the state.
At the time tbe Ministers’ asso
ciation sought to draw up their opin
ions in a definite resolution, Mr.
Duty, in Marion, denounced the or
ganization for what he termed their
friendliness for the klan and
charged Adjutant General Black with
being a member of the hooded order.
Murder Charges Fly
The general, when asked, declined
I to reply to the charge other than
Ito say “I would not lend dignity
to such an absurdity by denying
Mr. Duty’s statement.”
Throughout the day charges and
counter charges came to light as
warrants charging murder were
served by either faction. Among
those who were served were the
county sheriff and several of his
deputies, as well as the state's at
torney, all of whom gave bond and
■ were released.
Nine alleged klansmen, including
|J. H. Smith, owner of the garage
' in front of which the deadly affray
i took place, were named, arrested
and released on bond.
John Smith, in front of whose ga
rage the shooting took place, asscut
ed today that Galligan had come to
' the garage to "get” him (Smith) an 1
not to seize an automobile, as the
i sheriff has said in his statement.
“When they (Calligan and his dep-
I uties) found I was not in the ga
i rage.” Smith said, “they ransacked
j my cash register, taking $10) in ad
dition to several pistols.”

American-Samoa Asks
U. S. to Define Status
Os Island Residents
PAGO PAGO, American Samoa,
Aug. SO. —The recommendation of
Secretary of States Hughes that the
sovereignty of the United tates be
extended over Swain's Island was le
ported here ty radio when President
Coolidge sent it to the senate. It
caused surprise, and raised the ques
tion of the stalus of American Samoa.
Swain's Island, known as Olsoega to
the Samoans, lies north of Samoti.
Originally it was a coral atoll and
was built up by the energy of' the
original settlers and their descend
ants. Many shiploads of earth have
been taken from Samoa to build up
the small island and it now is very
productive in cocoanuts. Though al
ways connected with Samoa commer-,
daily, it had been classed as one of
the Tokelau group of islands be
longing to Great Britain.
Leaders among the natives of
American Samoa say they want a
bill passed by congress defining the
status of their country in its rela
tion to the United States. The chiefs
of Tutuila have been asking this for
24 years.
Thus far the Islands are known to
congress as “the United States naval
station, Tutuila.” The naval station
is at Pago Pago, and the country
outside, though styled part of the
station for some purposes, has noth
ing to do with it n other respects
and this had led tn confusion.
