Fox and Je?se Gappins, the mob.sought prisoners, are behind the bars in the state penitentiary. The two confessed slayers of William Brazell, Columbia chauffer, were quietly removed from the Charleston county jail where they were lodged by Sheri$ of Lexington county, on Sunday," August 14, yesterday and taKen i& Columbia on the 3 o'clock train yesterday morning. The following dispatch from Columbia 'tells of their arrival at the 8*&te prison: % .* 0. Fox and Jesse F. Gappins, confessed slayers of young William | Brazefl, the Columbia taxi driver I whose murder on August 9, along; the Columbia-Augusta highway, I locked the state and resulted in the j formation of a mob which for ten! days searched cities and jails, high- j ways and trains, for three guilty men, i and who for three weeks now have ; .Waotv in rSbavlAcirm iait fnr sqfp UVCU 111 bUV J ? / keeping, were brought to Columbia early Thursday -piorning and lodged in the state penitentiary, where they j Will be Held until the date of their trial next Monday. They wereI brought to Columbia by two officers, ' aboard a train arriving here at seven ! o'clock. The transfer of the prisoners was j made without excitement, and not1 even the newspapers knew of it. The; wo-tp t'nlri hv the officers when they left Charleston that if they gave trouble there would be trouble, but if irot, the officers proposed to protect them/" 'The men readily agreed not to: make trouble, and they appeared very nervous all the way to Columbia, fearing that there might be a mob in- j terference. 1%e officers had been told to arrest any persons attempting to interfere with the transfer of the jprisoners, and if any such interfering persons should resist arrest, to shoot ' to "Sill. State Constable T. A. Berley of! Columbia, and Chief of Rural Police J. D. Dunaway of Richland county, brought tlie men to the capital, and sitting in the front of the coach that - brought the men was State Constable * Poppepheim of Charleston. All were j heavily.

He stated also that .Kirby -had planned other 8^cb affairs on previous occasions, but these tad "fallen through." This story differed from Kirby's statement tie day the three were arrested, his ' i >1*7 - * ' " ? -x?| signed statement then being to the effect thkt Fox and Gapping were the gpSty parties.

Hja^lar Branting of Sweden accused the council and secretariat of the league of partiality and extravagance. Lord Robert Cecil, representing South Africa, defended both the council and the secretariat. Lordi Robert was very severe, however, the ^nnntrips. which, he said, j M> VVWi< VI1V X, according to statistics, are spendingj % 20 per cent of their energies on arma- ' ments and at the same time complain- j ing of economic instability and a bad trade situation. He blamed the United States for the delay in the adoption of the "A" and 4,B" mandates, and introduced a resolution that there terms be immediately defined. Lord! Robert's address seemingly made a j great impression on the members of tlje assembly. | The committees continued their wox^ this afternoon. The council's commission on amendments finished dts labor by deciding not to recommend the adoption of an amendment by CharJes J. Doherty, delegate from r Canada, eliminating Article 10 from t^ie covenant of the league of nations. At the same time was passed an interpretative- resolution intended to meet American objectives to the ciaus?. Geneva, Sept. 8.?That a president of the United States can not alone \ | under the constitution bind his govj eminent on a question of mandates is : brought out briefly in one of the paragraphs of the last American notes on I mandates, copies of which are circu! lating among thr delegates of the assembly of the league of nations. The ; note is dated August 8, and is addressed to the French government, j Duplicates of the document were communicated at the same time of its delivery to ranee to me uuier mandatory powers. The note treats of i "A" and <4B*' mandates. It expressly states that the island of Yap belongs in another category. The note begins with a restatement ' of the general American position on I mandates. Mandates respecting the ; former German colonies, it says, were only made possible by the victory of : the principal allied and associated [powers, 01 wnicn ine L-n.tcu cwics was one. I The American government, although the United States did not take part in the war against Turkey, affirms the right to have a voice equal to that of any other power in deciding the mandates over former Turkish possessions, such as Syria, Lebanon, Mesopotamia and Palestine, because the distribution of these mandates was made possible only through the victory over Germany, in which the United States shared. The note makes various suggestions of changes in the terms of the Turkish mandates, some of them being that consular tribunals, under time capitulations from the powers shall remain in force until the governments are organized under mandates and if the mandates are surrendered the consular tribunals shall be restored. Request is made in the note that the freedom given to religion also shall, be extended to educational and charitable organization workers, not only those in the territories at pres-. ent, but those who may go there in the future. The note in a clear and firm manner requires equal opportunities for, concessions and commerce not only j for all citizens of non-mandatory j power, but also the fullest equality: with the nationals of the mandatory < powers, both of "A" and "B" man-, dates. The note stipulates that no man-' date shall be agreed to without the | approval of the American government: and that no mandate after its approv- j al shall be changed without the con-j sent of the American government. It was requested in the note that wherever in mandate it is mentioned that equal rights are to be given to. "members of the league of nations" a1 phrase shall be substituted referring to countries mentioned in Annex 2 of the treaty of Versailles, among whi'li is the United State.
