LITTLE OIKL DIES
Leila Ellis, Three Years Old, Sac-
combs to Injuries. Automobile
Party Escapes.
Camden, Dec. 3.—While attempting
to cross the highway in'front of a car,
little Leila Ellis, three year old
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Ellis,
of Wateree Mill Village, was so badly
injured Tuesday morning that she
died Wednesday.
No one knows who the occupants of
tSe car were^’uTITparfial descr}^fioti
says that it was a Ford and was oc
cupied by one man and two women,
and it was evidently a car from an
other state as it had luggage on the
running tyoard and bore a license tag
with red numbers and the driver
slackened his speed, but after seeing
what had happened he left the scene
at a rapid rate, it is alleged, and noth
ing further has been heard of the
party. • J ' A
There were several eyewitnesses to
the accident, but no one got the
number of the car and without an ac
curate description, the police have lit
tle to work on and it is feared they
have made good their escape. One
witness testified that the man made
every effort to avoid striking the
-child.
SUPREME COUNCIL
WARNS GERMAN!
Wunnamaker Makes Estimate on Crop.
Columbia, Dec. 8.—J. Skottowe
Waatiaflaaker, j^resident of the Ameri
can Cotton AsBocTatioiTTrerc-tonight
issued a statement in which he esti
mates the total yield of the present
crop to be 9,667,000 baies.. This esti-*
mate he rays, is based on private re
ports, he says. “To this must be added
cotton brought over in the seed from
1918, cottoh from samples, undersized
bales and city crop, making a total
yield of 10,120,000 bales exclusive of
lioters.’’ The trade demands, he con
tends, are for a fifteen million crop.
PUBLICITY CUBE
FOR “NET-RICH-QUICK"
Better than Conviction to Curb Orgy
of Post-War Speculations, Houston
Says.
New York. Dec. 5.—Pubilicty rather
than conviction is the best means of
curbing the thousands of “get-richr
quick" schemes that have sprung up
in the orgy of post-war speculation
according to Houston Thompson,
federal trade commissioner, who ad
dressed the Association of Life In
surance Presidents- at today’s session
of its amnual convention.
"Conviction rarely helps” he de
clared. "Publicity is the effective
remedy. From six years’ experience
in the department of justice and less
than a year in the federal trade com-
. mission, I do not hesitate to affirm
that the statute which, through pub
licity, seeks o prevent, is far more
efficacious than the one which is
parental and punitive.”
Asserting that' "the fitful fever of
speculation and waste invariably
springs from war and runs its blight
ing career out to the end”, Mr.
Thompson said that after the. world
war the federal trade commission
had been called upon to investigate
every kind of scheme from methods
of catching fish to colonizing plans
for soldiers. The commission, he add
ed. was concerned with "misrepresen
tation” not "speculation,"
"I do not believe in depriving an
individual of his inalienable right to
speculate,” he declared. Specula
tive enterprises developed Cripple
Creek, Gold Field, Leadville and
some of our greatest industrial suc
cesses. To limit speculation would
destroy individual initiative. Is not
speculation but misrepresentation
and the lack of information on the
part of the prospective investor that
must be eradicated.”
Notes DeuUng with Treaty Declare
Delay will Cause Military Opera
tions.
Paris, Dec. 8.—The supreme coun
cil’s notes dealipg with the peace
^-raaly tr. TUtrntt VOT1
Lersner, head of the German delega
tions, this evening.
The first note denies the German
demands for modification of the treaty
on the surrendar of Germans charged
with crimes against international war
fare and the return of prisoners. It
agrees to consider the economic,ef
fects of the indemnities required for
the sinking of the warships in the
Scapa Flow on Germany in "a spirit
of equity, after a hearing by the rep
arations commission.” The note warns
Germany “for the last time" that de
nunciation of the armistice would give
the allied armies all latitude for nec-
esrary military measures, and adds:
"In this spirit we await without
delay signature of the protocol and
thf* exchange of ratifications.”
Regarding the coercion clause of
the protocol ilie supreme cquncil con
siders that signature of the protocol
and ratification w’ill make the treaty
effective and that the protocol’s exe-
mtion wlH-he f guftran4«4td~liyi the..gMir.
era! terms of the treaiy aqel by ordi
narily rcognized mehods. It rejects
the Germans "pretended right” to
modification of the treaty clauses as
compensation for the absence of Am
ericans from the commissions. It de
clares that it is “vain for Germany to
seek to delay” the treaty’s effective
ness because of the position of the
Americans with regaid to the com
missions.
The second note deals entirely with
the Scapa Flow incident. It places
the responsibility on the Germans for
the sinking and sees in the protest
only "an attempt, difficult to explain,
to delay the treaty.”
t The note cites the secret message
of the chief of the German admiralty
(Admiral von Thotha) to Admiral von
Reuter, in command of the German
crews of the Scapa Flow ships, dqjed
May, telling him that the fleet’s dis
position "cannot be decided without
us, it will be finished by us and de
livery to the enemy avoided.”

Get into the red-blooded class if you

Take which you choose, but see that
the name “Gude” is on the package.
Without‘"Gude” it is not Pepto-Man-

It is the cry every where—“Wanted—
Red-Blooded Men.” The soldiers and
sailors that won the war were red-blood
ed, two-fisted fellows. In business it is
the red-blooded man that stands the
strain and wins the big successes. The
world has no place for the thin-blooded
weakling. It is natural, too, that red-
blooded men and women should have
more friends, and they do. They are
better human beings than the thiq-

“grouchy” and irritable most of the

kellog ( barges RaEway Administra
tion with “Enormous Extravastnces”
Washington, Dec. 5.—Little pro
gress on the railroad bill was made
in the senate today,, most of the time
being taken up with formal reading
of the measure and a speech by Sen
ator Kellogg, Republican, Minnesota.
Often there was difficulty in obtain
ing a quorum.
Senator Kellogg, whp favored the
bill’s principal provisions, charged
the railroad administration with "en
ormous extravagances” in the opera
tion of the roads and with building
up a great central organization which
has “benumbed the incentive and en
terprise of every railroad organiza
tion.” He- declared that inequalities
in wage awards had added "grossly”
to the cost of operation and lovered
the morale of the service.
"So far as permanent betterments
and improvements to railroads are
concerned,” Senator Kellogg added,
“the administration has done better,
although not all that the needs of
the country demand.”
Senator Kellogg endorsed the anti
strike provision which has been de
nounced by labor organizations and
opposed by many senators.^
CARLISLE STILL
IN THE HOSPITAL
Two-Soore More Years In Prison or
Electric Chair Confronts Daring
Bandits
Douglas, Wyo., Dec. • 3.-^Two-score
’••ore years of prla >n life. j. ssibly
death iii the electric chair, confronted
“Bill’’ Carlisle, train bandit, as he lay
today in a hospital, with a bullet hole
in his chest, while armed guards hov
ered in the background of hospital
nurses, to prevent escape."
Carlisle was shot down In a cabin
yesterday by Sheriff A. S. Roach, of
Wheatland, as the bandit, cornered,
reached for an automatic pistol to give
battle. The posse had railed Carlisle
since Sunday morning, through a bliz
zard by team, on horseback and final
ly on foot when drifts of snow* were
encountered too great for a mount to
traverse.
The outlaw, who had eluded pursuit
since his escape from the state prison
at Rawlings on November 15 and
subsequent robbery of the Los Angeles
Limited train near Medicine Bow, Nov.
18, was strapped to a pack horse for
the decent down Laramie Peak, 18
miles southwest of here, then bundled
into an automobile and rushed to this
city.
Just what disposition will be made
of him has not been determined. He
was serving a life sentence which had
been commuted to from 35 to 50 years
when he escaped. In the meantime a
new crime for which death is the pos
sible penalty, has beeu committed by
the outlaw. For the present, it was
said, he will be kept in the hospital
here, later to be transferred to prison.
Carlisle has been in Wyoming since
the train robbery.

TRAINMEN^ REFUSE
TO MOI(E WORKERS
Strike Sympathizers Balk at Moving
Train of Volunteer Workers. Men
are Sent to Mines on Trucks.
Pittsburgh. Kansas, Dec. 3.—Union
switchmen on the Same Fe at Fron-
tenac today in sympathy with the
striking miners refused to move a
train of volunteer workers and sol
diers to two steam shovel mines, ac
cording to an announcement to Col.
Lewis of the regular army.
At a mass meeting Monday locals
of the four railroad brotherhoods pro
tested against hauling or handling
coal, under state neioeiver8l}ip and
wired their national headquarters
for authorization to put this policy
into effect. No answer from national
headquarters had been given out to
night
The crew refused to move a train
from Pittsburg to the Patton and
MenghJni steam shovel mines near
Frontenac.
The men were sent to the Fron
tenac mines on trucks. The action
of the crew in refusing to move the
trainload of soldiers and volunteers
precipitated the crisis in the railroad
situation several hours earlier than
it was anticipated.
Interest centered largely on the
question of whether in the event of
the strike not being authorized by
the national organization, the men
locally would -refuse to handle the
coal.
TJjere has been no refusal to spot
cars for the mines as far as he is
advised, Oscar Hubert, general man
ager'of the receivership said t-day.
Cars have been placed wherever re
quested at the mines, he said.
Mr. Hubert said that he was in
formed that the Santa Fe men who
refused to move the troops and vol
unteer train asserted they were not
striking but feared the consequences
to themselves and families if they
assisted in handling such train.
