f T A f AU** ^ * J ? w _ _ I. W. W. LEADERS ESCAPE JUSTICE Chicago, April 29.?The real leadera in the group of I. \V. W. convicted for anti-government war-time conspiracies have jumped their bond and now are believed to be furthering revolutionary ideas. Federal officials said today after a final check-up of the forty-seven men who were to report to the Leavenworth, Kan., penitentiary, following refusal of the United States supreme court to review their cases. Nine convicted men are at liberty the others either having reached the penitentiary or being on their way, he says. Only one of the conspiracy chiefs is behind the oars, nowever, the others at Leavenworth being termed small fry, or men who "happened to get in the way of the government war-time dragnet." Of the nine who are free, six are looked on as chief instigators of the anti-war activities. Three of these six are believed to be holding "cabinet" positions in the Russian soviet government and three are believed to be in this country. Two of the remaining three who have not surrendered are expected to give up within a few days. The other, not considered by the government to be of much importance, is looked on as "permanently missihg." Ralph Chaplin, editor of Solidarity, once the official I. W. W. organ, was said by federal officials to be the only "big gun" in the conspiracies who is now in Leavenworth. "Big Bill" Haywood is authoritatively reported to be minister of propaganda for the Russian soviet government, with the task of spreading its doctrines through many countries. Officials virtually have lost hope that Haywood will return to this country. % Vladimir Losief, under a twentyt year sentence, now is in Petrograd, according to information here. He has been appointed commissioner of! i?r?miptotirtn anrt Ti'ill h?va r>h:) ! of the admission of all persons e.x-j iled from other countries for ahti--; government activities.

The earth will not get ' into the race until the comet has a, load of between 12,000.000 and 20,- j 000,000 miles, but then it will put "everything it has" into its tests with > the comet. The "tripping up" process of perturbation caused by the earth's influence, will pull the comet away from its course somewhat, but it will continue to plunge along the cosmic speedway at an undiminished pace. It will cap its supremacy finally when, on June 27, it flips its tail so hard against its terrestrial rival that the impact will send out sparks. These will go down in the record as a meteoric shower. The comet, at last calculation, was approximately 37,000,000 miles from the earth. Its nearest approach will be .132 of an astronomical unit, or 12,000,000 miles, on June 7, and shortly thereafter the race will begin. At the greatest brilliancy observable from the earth the comet will be of the eighth or ninth magnitude. Nothing greater than the sixth magniti de can be observed by the naked eye, so the world at large will see nothing of the visitor until the tallflipping episode, on June 27. However, the earth's attraction for the comet may be so great that new calculations may be necessary when the race gets under way. Any potential prophecies that the | comet will co great damage to the earth are out of order, the observatory states. On the other hand, the meteoric shc*ver, if it develops as anticipated. will prove to be a harmless, if inspiring, spectacle. o ? His Job ' What position do you occupy in i ho matrimonial firm.

X April 2 ft.?In a ; three-cornered fight late yesterday between a party of revenue officers I and guards at a big illicit moonshine whisky still near Pascal. X. O., three unidentified negroes were killed, according to meagre reports received | here today. Xone of the officers were hurt. The officers seized three big distilleries, 25.0U0 gallons of beer, loft gallons of whisky, and $2,T?00 worth of material. The negroes who were killed were on guard at the distilleries and tired on the party of light revenue officers when they approached the plant. The officers returned the fire and after a battle lasting several minutes three <>;' the negroes fell mortally wcumled. During the shooting 12 other mmi a* the distillery .'meet? d"d in making their escape. Joe and Haves ila 1 lin. who are said by federal authorities to havo l)t'cn the owners ? tie- triple plant, are fugitives l'rom justice and have been sought by federal and state authorities for more than a year. They were convicted of blockading 18 months ago and sentenced to serve two years each on the roads, but escaped. LAliGK INCREASE IN SOI TH CAROLINA SAVINGS Savings deposits in South Carolina banks and trust companies increased more than 5,300,000 last year, and accounts were added to the 1920 total. v These figures are from a statement just made public by the Government Savings Organization of the Fifth Federal Reserve District to show the development of the general savings movement and to emphasize the progress which has been made in checking the tendency towards unwise spending and waste. In South Carolina there are 491 banks of which 311 replied to the qu stionnaire sent out by the Government Saving^ Organization of this district. Among this number are most of the larger banks, the reporting institutions representing probably more than 90 per cent of the banking resources of the state. Their figures which are for January 1, 1920, and January 1, 1921, show that last year their savings deposits increased from $74,770,231.26 to $80,086,676.31?a gain of more than $5,300,000. The number of savings accounts in South Carolina increased during the same period from 135,757 to 168,195. Total deposits for 1921 were listed as $144,467,477.20. , The more than $80,000,000 in savings deposits does not by any means represent the total savings of the state, the statement shows, since many hundreds of thousands of dollars were saved and safely invested in government savings stamps and certificates, rith P.
