REFUNDING BILL STANDING STILL 9mmi of Treasury Department Expected to Tell of Previous Negotiations Washington, July 21.?The admin juration's refunding bill was held up | today iby a call from the senate finance committee upon Secretary idlon for additional and' more defiiiite information as to past commitments -with respect to the nation's foreign loans. The tariff hdll will reach the committee tomorrow and ^gnire prompt attention so* it appeared uncertain tonight when furHmt action can be taken upon the refunding measure. , Secretary Mellon was requested 1gr tne committee to examine tnor-| aasWy all records ,of negotiations asarf agreements made by the Wilson ? : iaiini I1 11 in 11 regarding both the * principal and interest payment upon all loans made alHed governments i mmi ?dvis& the committee at the ear? j fiat opportunity of the extent to adaeh such negotiations and agreements commit this government and Acsave the treasury of freedom of actum in future transactions. Secretary Mellon, when he appeared before the finance committee today, was 'bombarded Iby a rapid fire af questions aimed by Democratic iaaui#ii. 1i to develop to what extent fte considered himself (bound by the mediations conduced by the Wilms administration. He stated that so 4bx xs refunding negotiations conActed by former Assistant SecreRathbone, for this government, mad Mr. Brackett for the British govaiiuent, were concerned there has Seen no commitment of J>his government. He repeated that it might be dim i njjing should this government attempt to revise the arrangement for the deferment until April 1S22 of payments upon accrued interest, inasmuch as the agreement lad been offered Iby the American jorenrment for two years. Mr. Melfen said he could not at this time adr? ! nst the committee whether there AkI ibeen other negotiations which natrkt him in his negotiations.

(Becoming Glasses Cost No More) KU KLUX KLAN 1 ACTIVITIES WILL ' BE INVESTIGATED Atlanta Authorities Convinced That Organization is Responsible For Tarring and Feathering Atlanta, Ga., July 23.?Declaring 1 he is convinced that recent lawless happening in Florida and Texas, where several men and one woman were whipped or tarred and feathered, were not,the work of members of the Ku Klux Klan, Colonel W. J. Simmons, imperial wizard of that organization, today issued a statement 1 reclaring a thorough investigation of such charges is being made, and if * proved true, guilty members would s be banished from the organization, and if any local'collusion is involved jits charter would 'be revoked. ' Colonel Simmons' statement said: , ; < ; recent lawless happenings in Florida and Texas, I am confident , were., not done (by <this organization, or/its membership, but in order to ^ assist myself of this fact, I am put- ^ ting, approximately 30 men on the! \ job of making a complete and search ^ ing investigation. I call upon all oflficers of the law, both city, state and federal, to submit to me any tan- ^ glible evidence which they may have { showing any of the recent happen- . ings throughout the country to be justly chargeable to the Ku Klux Klan. . ! a "In verification and proof of the . sincerity of the statement, I last . week suspended the charter of Pensacola, Fla., and revoked the charter j of Mobile, Ala., and we are making ? complete and searching1 investigation ^ to ascertain the real facts regardthe acts charged against our organization in these two places. If they are sufficiently serious to so justify ' and it is found that our organization is involved, I intend to furnish the officers in these places with a list of * the membership in that community. * The offenses at both of these places 1 were minor, but I do not intend to * allow even minor offenses against the ? law of the land." t * i SUING FOR DIVORCE < HUSAND DENIES WIFESHIP ' 1 New York, July Z6.?ban a worn- > an legally sue for a divorce when the s defendant alleges she is not bis "v wife? That is one of the questions I raised (by the reply -of Philip M. 1 Shaw, millionaire, broker and social- c ly prominent, to the action of his ? wife, Elnior. t The ibroker asserts in his affidavit 1 that his wife was not legally divorc- 3 ed from her first husband, William Neserve Jordon, a wealthy Bostonian c before she married him nineteen i years ago. c Mass Marienne La Barre a former Ziegfield Follies beauty, known as <3 "Butterfly," is named as co-respond- |d ent in the suit, which was filed ^May "V 31. Veiled in the same secrecy that k marked the Stillman case, the filing t of action was revealed today when 1< the accused husftiand's attorney filed "5 their answer in the Supreme Court, k It is continued by Shaw's attorn- t eys that the fact that his wife's di- r vorce had not been made final when she married him and the further fact t that she condoned his alleged offen- c ses does not entitle her to a divorce 1 and $1,000 a month alimony and $7,- h 500 counsel fees. i: ' Mrs. Shaw, who is middle-aged p and strikingly beautiful, comes from i a socially prominent Boston family, o After receiving an interlocutory de- t cree from her first husband on c April 1, 1901 she met Shaw and o married him irt this city on January t 16 1902. Although they have no chil- a dren, they have lived ideally happy s in luxurious surroundings until the * "Butterfly" came into his life the a latter part of 1919. c ?j t Loiuemoe George Loses Diamond. Chicago, July 23.?W. R. Deluck ' manager of a cafeteria grew lone- } some. Most of the girls he saw want- 1 ed his food, not his favors; they came to eat, not to flirt. s So George advertised for a girl to bear him company during leisure i hours. Came an answer signed by Madeline. As Reorce arranered his first meet- I ing he put on a nifty sparkler. That night they were on a dark bench. His diamond hit Madeline in both eyes. "My, what a wonderful stone,' she said. Deluck's finger obliged with a couple of wiggles. "Can I w^ar it for a little while?" | WOMEN DUD OLD IRONSIDE!

'Columbia, July 22.?While stay or, to speak with perhaps bruti frankness, corsets, are as yet in n danger of joining the ranks of tl ancient mirth-provoking bustle, C lumfbia women are rapidly discardin them, according to dealers in won en's clothes and they estimate thi 30 per cent have placed corsets i lold storage for the time at least.

Many of the older women of Co umbia, it is said, look with little fa ror on the drift away from the coi let and insist on their daughter vearing them. This insistence on th >art of parents may explain the crj leard at more than one dance re :ently. "Check your corset," and th story is that corsets are "checked ut" in the dressing rooms alon, vith wraps, hats and other acces ories. In some dressing rooms the stac f corsets on the tables is said t Lave been about as high as the pil f wraps and other paraphernalia. "Since women have about aiban loned corsets," said one prominen lealer, "they support their hos rith elastic worn slightly below th :nee, turning the stocking down ove he elastic.

WALLACE HARRIS LAWYER Room 204 CITY HALL FAIR "BITTER ENDERS" OPPOSE GOVERNMENT _ Washington, July 24.?The govi eminent today had a unique strike 1 on its hands. Public opinion is with vthe strikers, and there seems to be small possibility of the government ^ winning out. ? Twenty-two fair war workers conL stitute the "angry mob" of strikers. 5- They indignantly refused to be dispossessed of their quarters in one of the big government doitoiitories and say they'll fight it out on this line if s' it takes all summer. Government economy, which hits Washington with the budget system is responsible for the order evicting 3- , _ __ . . _ tne gins. me government issued an ^ order that the fair workers move ^ from their quarters in one of the dormitories -in order that the 'building might be closed in the interest of economy. r_ Forty-two girls were affected, and 20 moved. But the remainder have k dubbed themselves "bitter enders" and are holding out. The rooms in ^ which the small band of irrecon|te cilables live have been stripped to e bare walls. All bed linen, towels and maid service have been withdrawn, n but this didn't faze the girls, n "We'll stick," is the ultimatum delivered by a pretty spokesman of the jj. strikers today. 9 Government officials are gravely is shaking their heads, wondering if af's ter all it wouldn't he ibetter to let tt the girls stay until their lease runs n out, on the 1st of August. TS . i- HUMUS SAVES POWER 11 Organic Matter Conserves Horse Flesh and Kerosene. i r Clemsoq College, July 25.?Organic matter in the soil improves the soil tilth. It loosens heavy soils, proB motes granulation, improves drainage, and favors better soil ventila0 tion, according to N. E. Winters, l~ Extension Service agronomist. It also makes for easier working of 6 * many soils. At tne rennsyivama j^xperuneui Station it took one-fourth less horsepower to-pulI a 14-inch plow 8 inches deep in a clay loam soil containing 3 1-4 per cent humus than in the ,0 same soil containing 2 1-4 per cent ' humus. Or in other words, the additional one per cent of humus so I loosened and lightened the soil that one less horse was needed for plow8 ing it: tHumus is the crying need of our , soils in South Carolina. It i& the |? real foundation of soil fertility and must be supplied before we can produce large crops most economically. Humus is not purchased in commer^ cial fertilizers but must be built up in the soil by incorporating large amounts of organic matter i n the form of green manures, farm manures and crop residues. t . v 1. . . , "You regard firm as a mea t friend?" ^ t "Yes.
