Section OneOne VOL.Pages I to 8 VOL. XLI MANNING, S. C., WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1921 N.1 GERMANY BOWS TO ALLD DEMANDS Headed by Dr. Wirth the Centrists Leader DECISION IS SPEEDY 'Cabinet Accepts Ultimatum and Places Matter Squarely Up to Reichstag. Berlin, Kay 10.-Germany has ac .cepted the Allied ultimatum. The Reichstag tonight by a vote of 221 to 175, yielded to the final demands of the Allied powers, and, in so doing, agreed to fulfill the terms of the treaty of Versailles "to the capacity" of the nation to do so. Dr. Wirth, the Centrist leader, final ly succeeded in forming a coalition cabinet composed of Centrists, major ity Socialists and Democrats, which, confronted by grave necessity, speed ily decided that acceptance of the ul timatum was the only course. In making this announcement to the Reichstag the new chancelor ask ed for an immediate dedision by that body, and in the voting which fol lowed, the government was sustained. ' The Allied ultimatum required a definite reply, based on "yes" or "no" No conditional reply would be enter tained, and the ultimatum was formu lated to expire on the night of May 12th. ,)Enforcement to Follow The total sum which Germany is called upon to pay is 6,750,000,000 pounds; disarmament must be carried out by Germany in accordance with the provisions of the treaty and the trial of war criminals .pust be put in to effect. Numerous other important terms in which Germany has been in defauft, will be enforced. Non-compliance with the Allied ul timatum would have subjected Ger many to the occupation by the Allies of the Ruhr Valley and whaetver oth er military apd naval measures were deemed advisable. The new cabinet is generally re garded as a makeshift, largely un representative, but good enough to accept the Entente ultimatum, and thus avoid a French advance into the .Ruhr. While the cabinet obtained a com fortable majority in the Reichstag, it has the undivided support of only the majority Socialists- and clericals. The members of the other parties, it is declared, have given it support as a makeshift and are not pledged to give it parliamentary support. New Cabinet Formed London, May 10.-Dr. Wirth, the German Centrist leader, says a Ber lin dispatch to the London Times to night has succeeded in forming a cab inet from the Centre party, the Ger man Democrats and majority Socialis ts in favor of accepting the terms of the Allied ultirhatum. Dr. Wirth, pointing out in the Reichstag the alternative to the -ul timatun said that Germany could sign thus putting on Germany a burden, the end of which could not be foe seen, or refuse to sign, after which would follow occupation of the Ruhr with terrible results to Germany's in dustrial and economic life now and in the future. The unity and fret-dom of Germany, continued the chancellor, had weighed most with the new cabinet, and the ministry had decided to accept Lhe London terms, which they would un dertake to fulfill within the limits of Germany's capacity. This would I)e only possible through the work and energy of the people. Except for a Commupist dlemon stration, when Dr. Wirth asserted he was acting in the interests of free (lomn, there was no demonstr-ation (lur ing the speech. SSENATOIRS COMBINE TO ASSIST F-AltMElRS Washington,, May 10.--Southern and Weiter-n senators in ter-estedl pri marily in agricultur-e, perfected their organization at a for-mal session to night. They wvill stand together- in the interest of the farmer irrespec tive of the frequent intrusion of pa tisan politics.

A subcommittee wvas appointed with Senator Smith of South Caro lina, as chairman, to prepare an amendment to the federal reser-ve act, embodying the foregoing prin ciple. The con ference also agreedl to make a study of the -ailroad situa tion, and take immediate step~s for the alleviation of the burdlen occa slonedl by exorbitant freight rates. It was the undlerstandling of the con ferees that in all matters; Southern era and Wester-ners couldl control the senate. As to the' rate of interest to be charged by the federal reserve banks the conferees dlid not agree. Senator l-ari of Georgia, is on record for limiting the rate to 5 per cent.

CO[LISION CAUSES SHOOTING AFFRAY Prominent Citizen of Kingstree Slain --Tom Poston Brought to Peni tentiary Following Killing of J. P. Miller. Kingstree, May 8.-Kingstree was thrown into a state of excitement early thih morning upon receiving information that J. P. Miller, a well known electrician, who has made his home in Kingstree for several years with his wife and little adopted daughter, had been found dead by the roadside one mile south of Cades with a bullet hole through his head. Mr. Miller had heen superintendent of the electric plant at Lake City for some time and it was his custom to come to Kingstree every Saturday night to be with his wife over Sun day and was on his way here when his car was run into one mile south of Cades by another car going in op posite direction and occupied by Tom Poston and a young woman. Both cars were damaged in the collision and were on the road at the scene of the killing this morning.

Sheriff Gamble found Poston at his home a short distance from where the tragedy took place, and Poston at once admitted that he had shot Miller. When asked wihy he shot him, he said that le ran into him and he then "got ard" and he "just shot hell out of him." It wias evident from the position of the cars in the road this morning that Mr. Miller had given the right of way by driving his car very near the edge of the ditch, leaving 20 feet on his left. The girl is. said to be the only eyewitness to the tragady. Poston's revolver, of 45 caliber. was empty this morning. Ife admits shooting three times. Only one ball entered Miller's body and that in tile top of the head, apparently fired while Miller was in a stooping posture at the front of his car. The ball coursed lownward and camne out just over tbe left ear. without enterincr the brain. The boy was brought to Kingstree and preparel for burial and was taken to Hartsville this evening where interment will be made tomorrow morning. The body was accompanied by a delegation of Masons fr-om Lake City, where Mlr. Miller was a member.

Kingstree, but was hurried off to Co lumbia later, where he will be placed i the state penitentiary for safety. Mr. Miller is well known in the South. le was from Savannah, and for . number of years was a profes sioial baseball pylayer in the South erun league. le is survived by his wife and little adopted (laughter and one brother who lives in SavannIah.

The girls marched in a torch light procession circling around the fir e to their places, then each of three groups lighted the lights of work, health, and love by placing their torches in the lire. A fter giving the hand sign of the fire the girls sang "Burn, Fire Burn," which seemed to make the flames leap up in response to the call. In keeping with the fire ceremony the ode to Fire was read by Weekago, one of the Maidens of the Udawahtassee group, then the count of the happen ings of the group since organization was read by Ganouh: One hundred per cent of the Uda wahtassee Camp Fire were initiated into the first rank as Woodgatherers each girl standing and giving her name and symbol with the meaning of each as follows.

Caled before the Committee to tell what precautions he had taken to safeguard Bergdoll while on a gold hunting expedition to the Maryland mountains, Col. Hunt had been on the I stand for nem-ly five hours when he was taken in hand by Representative Johnson, Democrat, Kentucky, for a grilling cross-examination. Some of the questions put to the witness were extremely blunt and of a personal nature. Then, after asking for a yes or no answer, as to whether he had been given a fair trial and whether he had been aggressively cer secuted. Mr. Johnson proceeded to quote from the court martial record ceitaim statements by the prosecuting oficer directed at the good standing of the accused. "Vigorous Prosecuting Speecm "Is that a vigorous prosecuting spetech ?' Mr. Johnson asked, and Iunt. instanly rI plied that it was a plea for his conviction ,as lie saw it. At this juncture John 11. Sherburne, of Boston, counsel for the committee, interposed that it Was only fair to read fro mthe judge advocate's ad dress, a course which the committee approved. "It is my purpose to show, although I nuy not have the full cooperation of Counsel Ifor this committee." Mr. John son declared.
