GOVERNOR CAUSES
WILLIAMS' ARRES1
It itecame known iA Columbia yei

son G. Harvey, who caused Irvi
Willi uns, son of J. H. Williams, 61
Moore avenue, Augusta, to be arresi

mobile which transported the asaai
-'.i of Reedy Booth and P. M. Feasl
er, youthful guards, who were mui
dered near the Southern railwa
shops, Hamburg, during the earl
morning of August 30. This dete<
live, whose name was not made put
lie by the chi^ef executive, has figure
in more than one case of natiom
no>.e. Starting to work without an
clue he apparently has woven sue
evidence about young Williams.
While investigating the deaths o
Booth and Feaster, the detective un
earthed the details of a whippin
which took place at the Hambur

under bonds of $1,000 each, accordinj
to the statement of the detective. Th
addresses of the four men were give
as Augusta.
Governor Harvey was requested b;
Solicitor R. L. Gunter and a numbe
of Aiken county citizens, includini
many textile workers, to send a dc
tective to the scene to investigat
the deaths of Booth and Feastei
Within three days after arrival th
detective arrested Williams an<
further arrests are expected withii
the next few days. He went to Aikei

To emphasize the utmost secrec,
with which the investigations wer
conducted by the detective, it is in

chief (executive was in conversattoi
with the detective, who. had lande
young Williams in the penitential12
hours previously!
Booth and Feaster were shot dowi
in the public road about 200 yard
from the Hamburg shops at 5 o'cloc1
on the morning of August 80. Feas
ter was instantly killed and Bootl
was seriously wounded, death result
ing in three hours. Both were guard
at the Southern shops, 21 and 2
years of age, respectively. Booth'
home was in the city of Aiken an
that of Feaster at Langley. They wer
shot with revolver and rifle bullet
and buckshot. At the spot where th
bodies were found, strewn aroun

zine of an automatic pistol, three dir
ty handkerchiefs, two of them init
j ialed, supposed by the state to hav
been used as masks, and pieces o

The supposition is that Booth an
Feaster were decoyed into the roa
for the purpose of being whipped wit
the thick rope, and, when they resist

ed that Feaster fired two shots befor

"When I wa -t ordered on the case,

go on. When I went to Hamburg, th
first thing I considered was the mc

TO INVESTIGATE

s- Mineola, N. Y.f Sept. 88.?Preparein

NEGRO DEFEATS
FRANCE'S IDOL
Paris, Sept. 24 (By the Associated
Press).?Georges Carpentier, heavyweight
champion boxer of Europe
and idol of France, was defeated today
by Battling Siki, the Senegalese
fighter, in the sixth round of what
was to have been a 20 round bout.
Carpentier never had a chance after
the third round. He was barely
able to respond to the bell at the beginning
of the sixth. With his right
eye completely closed and his nose
broken, he was unable to put up a
guard.
In the sixth the negro fighter planted
a series of terrific rights to Carpentier's
head and the French idol
crumpled to the floor. One of his
legs caught between the legs of the
Senegalese while he was falling.
The crowd, the largest that ever
witnessed a boxing contest in France,
sensed the end. All was uproar.
Many persons jumped into the ring
t?nd carried the Senegalese on their
shoulders to his corner.
The referee, Harry Bernstein, at
first ruled that Siki had been disqualified
for "tripping" but the
Lhrong, which considered that Carpentier
had been beaten squarely by
a better man, received the decision
with a great chorus of hoots and
jeers and even threatened the referee

of the fight, Victor Bryer, Jean Pujon,
Frenchment, and Mr. Bennison,
of London, went into consultation.
An hour later they declared the negro
"he winner. Their verdict was rpteived
with terrific cheering from the
spectators, who had remained in the
arena for it, many of them in an
igly mood. Carpentier had been
looted by large numbers of the crowd
as he was taken from the ring to his
Iressing room.
The defeat of Carpentier was entirely
unexpected. Carpentier wes
the favorite when the men entered
the ring and the crowd was dumbfounded
when they saw their idol
pummelled all over the ring and subiected
to terrific punishment at the
lands of the big black.

Thep feel that the country at lavge'
and at heart will applaud them for
preventing what they term a raid on
the treasury, for having refused to
yield to "a popular hysteria."
They feel that able bodied American
boys who defended their counti y
do not want a gratuity for a sacri-!
fice of love. They argue that the couvi- '
try might as well pay' its sons fori
defending their parents as for de-|
fending it. They admit a belief that
the country would not capitalize pa-|
triotism, or set a precedents as result
of which, in the future, a soldier would
proceed to fight with the expectation
that he had more than honor at
stake.
The opponents of the bonus furthe i
strengthen themselves by referring coi
the lack of machinery provided in the
ill-starred bill; and also to the fact
that the bonus, in providing means,
of borrowing small sums at long intervals,
in a sense of concrete values,
meant nothing.
The bonus bill was attempted h;
Republican members of congress in
response to officials of the American
Legion. They would not have attempt-1
ed it in opposition to the president
but for the fact tha congressional
campaigns faced them.
When the president informed congress
that he would oppose a bonus
bill unless congress, by legislation,
proviaea xor tne payment 01 tnu
bonus, congress trembled in its boots.
It found it. impossible to put into effect
new methods of taxation, for new
methods of taxation would be ruinous,!
in a political and economic sense. So'
in their desperate strait, they plan-,
ned to throw the bonus on the presi-1
dent. They preferred to embarrass,
the national ticket rather than themselves,
especially as the national ticket
had a two year lease of life.
The president bombed ' back the
buck. He is pleased with himself.

BRITISH HALT
TURK CAVALRYj
Constantinople, Sept. 24 (By the
Associated Press).?The British an
nounce that Turkish forces of 1,100
cavalry, which crossel the neutral
zone at- Chanak Saturday night, retired
today on Bairamjik fallowing
a meeting at 6 o'clock this morning
between the commanders of the Turkish
: nd British forces. No shot-! were
fired. The Turks retired ruder a
white flag.
The Turks stopped then ..dvance
when the British notified the Turkish
commander that a further forward
movement would cause the British to
open fire.
The Turkish ultimatum allowed until
5 o'clock yesterday afternoon for
guarantees respecting the return of
Thraee, and it was because no guarantees
were forthcoming that the
Turkish cavalry crossed the border.
London, Sept. 24 (By the Associated
Press).?The agreement of the allies
on the political side of the Near
Eastern problem leaves the general
situation much clearer and transfers
the interest to the Dardanelles, where
today's news proves the combustible
nature of the problem to be solved
there.
The first actual "incident" between
the British and Turks has al eady
occurred in the shape of Turkish
violation of the Chanak neutral
zone, but has ended happily after a
jonference between the British and
Turkish commanders. This incident,
w hi< . NS* ingly displaying the pruIcnceL.jfrJjfthc
Kemalists in not precipitate
a conflict, will undoubtedly
be sei?.^ upon by those critics of the
government at home who call for
British evacuation of the Chanak
zone, as the French and Italians have!
already evacuated, arguing that the]
presence of a British garrison there
is likely to provoke just such occurrences
enlangering the preservation
of peace.
These critics are apprehensive that
some similar incidents will happen
when the Turks may be disinclined to
withdraw, as they did today.
X The joint note of the allies has
?jone forward to Mustapha Kemal
^fche" French * representative,
M. Franklin Bouilon, has
had time to confer with the Nationalist
leader.
According to a Paris dispatch re-,
ceived in London, Kemal Pasha, notified
of the coming of M. Franklin-1
Bouilon, replied: "I shall expect you,'
but you must hasten."
The message is also rendered in an-1
other form, as follows: "I await your
arrival. Your friend, Kemal Pasha.''
This has given rise to comment on
'he different significance of the two
messages.
Two of the greatest difficulties preenting
themselves at the present monioment
appear to be, first, that the
Kemalists, while disposed to accept
the allied invitation to a conference,
i re likely to insist that Russia also
shall be invited to sit in this confer-!
once, and. second, that. fhey are not
disposed to suspr id hostilities dur-;
ing the 'conference, but on the con-1
i rary maintain their right to pursue j
the defeated Greeks into Thrace anrl
protect the Moslems there from pos?
ible Greek reprisals.
With regard to the former condi-1
lion it is pointed that the Kemalistsj
are bound, by treaty with the Soviet,!
to insist upon the presence of Russia
in the conference. It is therefore evi-j
dent that the question and the ques-1
tions of getting the Greeks out of
Thrace still present difficult problems
for allied diplomacy.
The British government and military
authorities are continuing preparations
for all eventualities. British
troops in Constantinople have been j
ordered to Chanak, while there is is
an almost constant movement of naval
units from Gibraltar and Malta in the
direction of Turkish waters.
According to a statement given to
the Glasgow Sunday Post by Mai.
Gen. Sir Charles Townshend, who has
just returned from a visit to Kemnl
Pasha at Turkish headquarters,
Kemal has no desire to fight Great
Britain. General Townshend says that
Kemal Pasha has nearly 300,000 armed
men under his orders, nearly all of
them "hard bitted and well set up follows."

FEDERAL FORCES
TO PATROL BORDER
, Washington, Sept. 24 (By the A?>o

i given by the labor, treasury and agn
culture departments to the coordination
ol all the federal police forces
along the nation's borders to the end
that smuggling of narcotics, liquor
and aliens may be more effectively
checked.
Faced with a situation which ha.been
described in some government
reports as alarming, a committee of
representatives of the three departments
and of the department of justice,
it was learned today, has completed
an investigation and i?ached
the conclusion that there must he

I rotest by the railway shop crafts
j.gainst the form of the order in the

Donald R. llichberg, attorney for the
unions, announced tonight.
As a result, it was expected Federal
Judge Wilkerson will accept the
proposed order drawn up and presented
to the court last week by the government.
This would mean there
would be no modification of the present
temporary restraining order.
Mr. Richberg stated he would rane
r.o objections to the form of the re
straining order but would withhold alt
action until he appeals Judge Wilke'*son's
decision to the circuit court of
appeals next month on the grounds
that the district court did not have
the power to issued such an injunction.
The case will come up in district
court tomorrow simultaneously with
hearing before the railroad laboi
board of a petition by the signalmen
for an increase in wages. The wages
of the signalmen were cut at the same
time as those of the shopmen, but tl e
former decided not to strike wht n
they were promised a rehearing < n
the decreases.

and other aliens* from Mexico, tlu
smuggling of liquor and shooting affrays
which jeopardize the lives of
government officers," the committer
reported, "would seem to indicate
. that the proper enforcement of f? ?i
cral laws necessitates the cooperation
ot the various governmental depait
ments."
The committee in this connection
i pointed out th *t the Canadian and th.
Mexican borders were being patrollcl
by the United States public health
i the customs, the prohibition enforce.
; ment and immigration services, thj
coast guard and the federal horticul.
tural board. Coordination of thes?'
; federal police forces, Commissioner
i General Husband reported on behalf
! of the committee, would seriously
cripple the "bootlegging industry*
i and minimize smuggling of drugs and
; aliens across the borders. With po.
lice powers alike for customs, pro- /

"The bootlegging industry," I?1
Husband added, had become a mena *e
a nng both the Canadian and Mexican
borders and rivaled the days "when
| piracy was in full swing." In tho *
connection, a report has been received
, by Mr. Husband from United State.-.
_ Immigration Inspector Clark at Mon.
treal, described the wounding of Im,
migration Inspector Savage at Alex.
andria hay by a notorious bootlegge**,
, and adding that "it was unfortunate
that immigration inspectors must
called upon to endanger their live>;
but, unless there is full cooperation
^ between customs and immigration oi
ficials and all other federal officers
along the northern border, certa'o
laws arc hound to become laughing
~ stock."
"In great need of all governno t
orvices," the committee report concluded,
"is the establishment of an
infective patrol along the Mexican
border, particularly between estabf
ii bed ports > f entry, to prevent illegal
or clandestine entry and to for e
- all traffic through regulat pons
l where it could be dealt with by ap
propriate authorities "
The attitude of departments othci
n than labor toward the coordinaln
i I as not been definitely defined. S?
rctary Mellon, replying to the initial
of ??v??
that "the nature of the service perI
formed by the* different branches i
the government is so varied thai I
t doubt whether their activities could
be effectively consolidated or supervised
by one administrative officer "
Secretary Wallace has expressed
the belief that the work done by ovo
, ,
perts of his department along the
j Mexican border was "a highly techni
tin uusiiiess ana not, cniy couia noi oe
carried on by persons who have not
^ had technical training but could not
^ he intelligently administered hy any
one who had not had such training.'
Both Secretaries Mellon and Wallace,
however, were said to feel that some
steps toward cooperation should be
taken.
