REPORT COMING ON PEACE TREATY Washington, Aug. 22.?In a determined effort to report the peace trea ty before the end of next week, the seaat foreign relations committee I suddenly interrupted its public hearings today and arranged to go to work tomorrow on proposed amendments and reservations. Although one witness will be heard j Monday .members think that might be tke last hearing before the treaty| was reported. It was indicated that( the waiting list of others who are to' .'.ppear later would not be permitted to stand in the way of an early re-J port. Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, the. Democratic leader, declared his be- J lief that the report would be laid, before the senate during the coming ;.&ek and asserted that he had been assured the Republicans would coop-J erate to that end. Some Republican ! members agreed with his prediction,' but Chairman Lodge declined to say; ! itrVian ha thought the committee: iv.ould act. Late today plans to expedite the consideration of amendments were, discussed at a conference of Repub-j Mean members of the committee and. they will go over the subject again | tomorrow morning before the com-j mittee session begins. It is likely. :hat among the first amendments, roted on will be one proposing to crike out or modify the articles givng Japan control in Shantung prov.-, ice, China. The story of the negotiations re-, ulting in the Shantung provision /as told to the committee today by J 'rof. E. T. Williams, who was tech-j ical adviser to the American peace ] election. He said he had "strong- j . i (j objected" to the settlement reacn-j d, and thought the American dele-{ ates should not have assented to it.j Debate During Day. During the day there was more ebate on the treaty in the senate, enator Thomas, Democrat, of Coloido, criticising the provision for an J Itern&tional labor organization and' >nator Fall, Republcan, of New exico, taking exception to informa-j >n given the committee by Presi-j nt Wilson regarding the resumpm of trade with Germany. Although (he refrained from saying tether he would vote for the treaty nator Thomas expressed . grave ubt as to the wisdom of the labor orisions and said there were artits in the lalbor section which seemto violate the American constitu>n, by delegating legislative and iicial functions to international dies. Senator Fall, referring to a statemt by the president that so far as I knew the United States was not ding with Germany, declared there p been a suspension of the trading bh the enemy act which could be ective only by presidential authorand that merchant vessels were ling direct between American and rman ports. The export trade to rmany in June, he said, amounted p,000,000.

B, Blakely, former superintendent of the De La Howe Institute at Lethe,' McCormick county, that the money! derived from hunters' licenses be devoted to establishing a game pre-' serve on the large estate is approved by State Game Warden Gibbes in recommendations to Governor Cooper. Plans are under way to improve this already valuable property under the new management with Rev. Mr. Branch as superintendent. Indication 01 trie vaiue ui laiiu in tuat actnun is shown in the auction sale last Monday of a tract facing the main road to Lethe at $97.50 the acre. The old Tennant plantation at the rear of Lethe sold on the same day for an average of $38 the acre. The Columbia correspondent of The Greenville Piedmont sends the following on the state game warden's recommendations: I Wade Hampton Gibbes, state game warden, has suggested to Governor Cooper that the fees received from hunters' licenses, which now amount to many thousands of dollars njore than the expenses of enforcing the game laws, be devoted to the upbuilding of the De La Howe school, in McCormick county. This school, which is now operated and controlled by the state, has 1,000 acres of very fine land, much of it in original forest. Mr. Gibbes' plan would be to give the money derived from the hunters' licenses to this school for the purpose of improving the property and providing for a larger number of scholarships each year, and to establish on the place a great game sanctuary, where all kinds of game and birds still extant in the state be safe from molestation. He thinks such a game sanctuary would pro-1, vide a safe and desirable breeding! ground and would result in prevent-; ing many varieties of birds from becoming extinct. He would forbid all: hunting on the place, except that' the pupils in the school might hunt' rabbits and squirrels in season. Governor Cooper is inclined to think well of the suggestion, and may incorporate it in his next message to | the legislature. The plantation upon which the school is located was bequeathed to the public for a school for poor chil-j dren more than 100 years ago by Dr. John De La Howe, a native of France, who settled in Abbeville county along with many other Huguenot refugees. The school was operated for many years by a self-perpetuating board of trustees, and,' while it has prospered at times, has, I tmfforod -f-rnm m iqTTl BTlRCPTTlPn t and other causes.

Though but youths of ?|j 18 or 19 these young men are wanted ji in several States for crimes of vary-' jl ing degree from murder to larceny. i| Among the charges against th?m are y those of safecracking ai-.d postoffice H l-obbery in North Carolina. Sheriff gj Royster of Henderson, N. C., accom- ?g panied by Mr. J. W. Beckham of that g[ town, were in Lexington Monday and j| iJenti^cJ the Tord car taken from gg fVio Knife: nc nrnnprt- nf Mi*. Beck- s=s ham. The car was taken to North jH Carolina, but the men were held here Wi awaiting advices from eGorgia. The IS sheriff at Millen has wired that they H are wanted there for highway rob- |j| bery and murder. It is probable ?E that they will first be tried there, aa jgj this is the most serious charge a-1 gainst them. Bone claimed at the ?1 time of his arrest that his home was'|ffi in Virginia, but later developments m indicate that he hails from Great j|i Falls, S. C.- He was visited Satur-j?? day by his wife and mother, who are f?? employed in a cotton mill at Cam-?|j en. Randall claims to be from Geor- H gia. A bold attempt at escape was made jj by the boys last Monday, which ?j might have succeeded but for the H vigilance of Mrs. Miller. The boys J ? 1 ?. kn/tlr o o Ttro nrlllWl wnrk- BBS bCCUrtJU Mnnr uauu. t. i , men had left around and were man- S fully at work sawing their wap to j9 freedom when Mrs. Miller discover- H ed them and summoned the sheriff. jP They were immediately removed to a Si safer place of confinement. ^ COTTON FARMERS ARE URGED TO HOLD STAPLE I i Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 20.?"We ear-j nestly urge that the cotton farmers and the holders of cotton be not stampeded by propaganda now being issued by speculators and parties: who desire to buy cheap cotton, bat' that they stand steady and refuse to' sell their staple at present prices," the executive committee of the Am-! erican Cotton Association says in a' statement just issued here from headquarters. The committee further says: "'The association deplores the organized effort now being made to depress and send the price of cotton to the bottom. In spite of the fact that ! - - J J cotton goods nave greatiy aavanceu, cotton prices have gone down $20 i to $25 per bale. Today the staple,; measured by the price of manufactured cotton goods, is intrinsically I worth more than 35 cents per pound ' and even at that price it is the cheap-j I est commodity being sold in the' ' world's market. I "As soon as the American Cotton I Association is fully organized with its 1,000,000 members it will imme-' I diatelv becin an organized fight in | j oeha'.f of cotton." . !
