The decision o Judge Prince is one of far reaching importance and will likely affect aim Uar cases in both this state and oth er states. Judge Prince granted the orde upon two grounds: First, he declared that Governoi Harvey has no authority to revoke i \ ' parole, especially so withot a hear ' ing of the defendant. Second, tnfere was a distinction be tween a conditional pardon and a pa I role, numerous authorities in th< state.holding that the itme a convici is out on a conditional pardon is sus pended and does not Tun. But, ii case of a parole, the prisoner is re leased from service and his sentence continues to run the same as if hi were serving the time in the peniten tlary. Under the second ground on whict the decision was based, Shaw's sen tence expired long ago. Judge Prince's decision releasei Shaw and cancels the year and ftvi months' time which Governor Harvej held he had yet to serve. Solicitor L. W. Harris representee Governor Harvey at the habeas cor pus proceedings and demurred. Hii demurrer declared that: First, that the parole and revoca tion of parole in this case were botl in the discretionary powers of tlx chief executive of the state of Soutl Carolina and that this court is without power to review the proceedings Second, that the petition shows or I Mo face that even if the defendant ii 1, entitled to his one-tenth time off, lx y ' "" ^Ac yf Ow moil uAoiMdtt wi violent mm in the county.

Aaso^ ciated Press).?Informal communii cationh from the five Central AraeriI can governments invited by the Unitf ed States to meet in conference in De. ceraber for discussion of arms llmita. tion projects and other matters, ini dicate early acceptance of the inviI tations and aDDointment of th* . delegations. There is no doubt that Secretary Hughes' action, taken as it ; was virtually at the request of the i five governments, has been received in Central America with gratification. Formanl acceptance in some cases > may be delayed through the necessity > of obtaining approval of either cabinet or congress. The American invitation occupied attention in Pan-American diplomatic circles today to the exclusion of other topics. Both among the diplomats and in government circles the feeling prevails that a step has been taken 1 which may bring results of a far reaching nature with respect to international relations in the entire Western hemisphere. Whether the Central American canference w'll prove a stepping stone to subsequent tieatment of all Pan-American problems in a similar way, it was said, must rest upon the work of the Central American delegation when they gather in Washington in December. From the American viewpoint the forthcoming conference is expected to have immediate and decisive renc (1 the solution of many v< ing problems now troubling the lations of the Central American group, Salvador, Honduras andNicaragua, Guatemala and Costa Rica. There is no question that the Washington administration seized eagerly upon the formal suggestion that reached it from Central American capitals indicating the desire of those governments that the United States sponser a Central American conference, where a formula for peace and adjustment of all Central American problems might be arrivei at. tacking some such step, it is an open secret that Washington official J have been gravely concerned lest nono us disturbances aurise in Central world conM?^S>m^0t as to School * ? County. ? , . . . f. . . tn A mot Friday's Special " | Yep! Union is going to have another battle royal, this time with the! famed team representing the Thorn- j well Orphanage. If you will reenll. it! is this same team that essayed to lift: Union to the clouds and then allowed ( them to drift, fall, skeeward or what not. It is a known fact that it acted ! as a stimulant for the remaining: games on the scredule and caused us \ to realized what football is. Now this same team is going to; be her.? Friday, 27th, and they are| expecting to win again and just as; handily. Well, if you could see! Coach Jeter's boys practising this) week, you would think?well, the Rcore will be a walk away again, but | i this time with Union on the top side.; i Yes, those boys are playing a game of foocball and have the spirit that admits that no one can beat them. There is no question that Union's; , team is now superior to last year, j With an added year's experience audi with a larger coaching staff and with; the boys realizing what football means, the team is a muchly improved organization and bids to give the , hardest a tussle for the victory. Union's improvement is readily, realized when you look back over tlu*[ games played. The first game was! with Cowpens and was lost by the' score of 19 to 13. Played Newberry i I the following Friday and defeated them 7 to 0. Played Spartanburg next. and latched them to the maRt to the' tune ox 19 to 7. (This game made, the aged and the infirm forget their! decrepancie8 und shout with the, young). Spartanburg considered the( ! game with Union as a practice game; I and went home muchly disappointed., r Last Friday Union played the Has-1 toe school of Spartanburg and de-, feated that school 13 to 0. And when j I the orphanae team plays here Fri-j , day, then there is no reason to believe | I anything but that a continued im-l provement will be seen on the part . of Union's playing. The coaches, the ? players, and many of the followers of the game believe we are going to ( get revenge for the humiliating defeat i of last year, and send the orphanage boys l.ome a sadder, yet wiser aggre.

U4.?Th?* charge that his wife was a "bum" and not the knowledge that she ha J been criminally assaulted, infuriated him to a proposal of a duel, George Cline, motion picture location finder, who is on trial with his brother-inlaw, Charles Scullion, and Alice Thornton for the murder of John Bergen, motion picture actor, admitted on cross-examination today. Cline (nM ?? a\~~.* '? VU uuwb CAailllllHllUIl that when, after months of half suspicion, he finally learned that his wife had been assaulted, he had asked Ber. gen, whom he said he had befriended, to come to his home in Edgewater and explain certain "kissing parties" and that Bergen was accidentally shot in a struggle for the possession of a gun which he had given him. "What was your state ofmind, just prior to, and after *he shooting," Prosecutor Hart asked Cline on cross, examination. Counsel for the defense objected to V* the question and was sustained by % > the court. \ Taking another tack, the prosecu tor asked Cline why he had armed himself. In self-defense, Cline answered. He denied that he had represented himself as "Mr. Ryan" when he telephoned the actor to come to his home. He said that when he confronted his wife with Bergen she broke down and confessed that he had drugged her in a Saranac I-ake hotel anl then assaulted her. Cline said that Bergen then admitted the charge, and said: "I'm a dirty dog, shoot me," and he ordered Gergen out of his house. "I had no idea of shooting hiin.'' Cline testified. He said it was a remark of the actor's as he was . V>ut to leave the house which infuriated him.

Cripples Inclined to Crime Says Dresden Judge Dresden, Oct. 21?Criminal inclinations are so highly developed in crip pies that these members of soon-.v should be the objects of espeeial alertress on the part of the authorities, m the opinion of Dr. Erich WulfTcn, ' the Saxon ministry of justice. Doctor Wulffen declared in tht course of an address before a congress for the care of cripples, that the only favor which the forthcoming criminal code of the republic would show these unfortunates would be a f tight elasticity in applying "extenuating circumstar.es' them. Because of his handicap, a cripple easily becomes at odds with society and drifts to t rime, the speaker said Cripples aie wont to be the victims of illusions, and to incline toward domination, poor and barbarity. Their offenses, he xiated, usually are assault, insiibordination, bodily injury. or property damage. Dr. WultTen urged the importance of judges and prosecuting at torneys studying the cases of cripples with particular care, to determine their psychological background. l.ive- titration of Murder Mystery Resumed N \v Brunswick, N.
