T^n*ley and Stokley Held Without Beil For Term of Cou# to - Be Held In April. ). Greenville.—L. C. Tinsley, operator of a Coffee street garage here, and J. B Stokley, an employe Of the same garage, are beltig held In the county Jail pending special term of the court of general aesston In April when they will he tried for murder in con nection with the killing on the night of March 13 of Rev. Milton F. Daniels hy an automobile on West Washing ton street, a coroner's jury having fix ed the responsibility for the minister’s death on the two men at the Inquest as the two occupants of a Humoblle coupe are believed to have .struck down and run over him. Testimony by witnesses and evi dence gathered by the police placed in the hand of David W. Smoak circuit solicitor, who conducted the Inquest, what appeared to be a strong case of incriminating facts. The stellar testimony of ,;tho Inquest was rendered by C. E. CUppard, a textile mill employe, who happened to see the killing as he stood on the corner of Richardson and Washington streets when it occurred. He stated posiltve- ly that the automobile he saw struck down and run over a man whom it later developed was Rev. Mr. Daniels was a Humoblle coupe, and that there were two men In it at the time. . The driver of the car, he said, wore glasses. He could not distinguish more than this. Tinsley wears glasses and told of- fleers prior to the Inquest that he and Stokley had been driving about the city in a Hupmobile coupe just before the tragedy which resulted In the death of the evangelist. The state Introduced four other witnesses, none of whom were actual eye witnesses. However, the general tone of their testimony was in cor oreberation of that of Cltppard. Sergeant George M. Myers, of the Greenville police department, testified that the day following the killing he examined the Hupmobile car in Tins ley's garage and found the left side of the front bumper mashed in as If it had been thrust against something The bottom of the dust pan of the motor also had been wiped off as if dragging over a fallen man. Mrs. Ida Godshaw and J. V. Cald well, of Spartanburg, who were arrest ed In connection with the killing, were not Implicated in the verdict Caldwell was released under bond some days ago.

Measure, Providing Paid-Up Life In surance, Faces Involved Situation in the Senate. r Project Apparently Abandoned. Whitmire.—The second mass meet ing to consider tlie formation of Whit mire county was held here Monday night, March 17, and was largely at tended. Delegations from Laurens and Union counties were present. Union asked the district to annex to that county. Newberry begged it not , to leave the parent county. Laurens said neither yea nor nay. Much 1 speochmaking was the order of the evening. Dr. Cromer made a forceful speech against the proposed seces sion as did Senator Johnstone and l)r. W. C Brown, member of the high way commission. Several speakers were getting warm and personal when the Rev. K D Smith poured oil (not Tea pot Dome) oh the troubled waters. The meeting adjourned “standing on the promisee" of Dr. Brown a id Also Johnstone to the effect that the dis trict would get all it was entitled to | If it would not “play prodigal by leav ing home." Washington—The house for the third time in four years passed a sol- d*er bonus bill. The vote was 355 to 54 and waa taken after 40 ml notes debate. Twenty speakers took the floor dur ing the brief period, however, advo cates of a full cash payment option i ssalllng the rule under which the hill was taken up, which limited de bate and prevented the offering of amendments. "Die hards” of both parties declared against the measure on principle, while proponents argued it was a measure which would becdtne Utw. „ . . The measure provides for paid-up 20-year endowment life insurance pol icies and cash payments to eterans entitled to not more than $50 In ad justed service credit. Provisions of the old bill for vocational training and farm or home aid are eliminated. The insurance provision Is some what different from the deferred pay ment certificates proposed in the old bill and because of these changes the measure faces an involved situation in the senate. Members of that body have asked time to idy the new bill, while others already have pre pared different proposals. The finance committee, to which the measure will be referred, is now occupied'with the tax reduction bill.' Chairman Green of the' ways and means. Who introduced the bill dur Ing the short debate preceding the vote, reminded the house that the two previous measures had not been enacted into law "for the reason known to all’’ and insisted this meas ure "will and must become law." When asked by Representative Bankhead, democrat, Alabama, wheth er he had conferred with President Coolidge as to the prospects for the bill becoming law, Mr. Green replied he had not and added he did not know the President’s attitud^ toward the measure. URGES SEiTE / TO SPEED BILL IS TOLD PASSAGE qr revenue MEASURE BEFORE JUNE 1 'SEEMS UNLIKELY. STILL DPPBSES-THE BONUS ■' ' President Make* it Plain At White House Conference He Stands By Mellon Tax Bill. Wilbur is Secretary of Navy. Washington.—Selection of Curtis D Wilbur, chief Justice of the supreme court of California, to succeed Udwin Denby as secretary of the navy was approved by the senate In an executive session of less than 10 minutes. There was said to hao been no debate on the nomination and no roll call asked when the motion that he be confirmed was made by Senator Lodge, of Massa chusetts, the republican leader. President Coolidge upon being In formed of the senate’s action imme diately notified Judge Wilbur by tele graph and. It is understood, expects the new member of—the—cabinet—to Washington. — President Coolidge urged senate leaders tp speed up con sideration of tho revenue bill when informed by Chairman Smoot and Senator Curtis, republican, Kansas, of the finance committee, that its passage before June 1 now seemed unlikely. Although the sobTier bonus bill was discussed at the W’htte House con ference, Mr. Smoot said, it was prob able this measure would be given priority over the tax redaction bill by the- committee for immediate action, and predicted little time would be re quired for its disposal In committee. In this connection, howover; it was again made plain at the White House that President Coolidge opposed a soldier bonus and supports the Mellon income tax rates rejected by the house. Regarding the paid-up insurance bonus bill passed by the* house and the revised revenue measure sent by that body to the senate, ft was reiter ated at the same time that the Presi dent would not declare in advance of receiving either measure whether he will veto It or sign It. Senators Smoot and Curtis went to the White House after a conference of republican members o^ the finance committee at which the program for fiscal bills was discussed. It was in dicated the members favored taking up immediately the bonus bill and then rounding out the revenue measure which has been before the committee for more than two weeks. Outside of the committee meeting, its members took -occasion to place on each other the responsibility for delay in work of the revenue bill. Chairman Smoot declared “exces sive talk for reasons best kqown to the speakers has been indulged in the committee meetings with the result we have not yet taken up a major section of the bill." , Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, a democraticTmemher of the committee, also explained of delay In considera- tio nof the bill .and remarked that “only two of the nine republican mem bers of the.committee were present.” Democratic leaders generally indl rated they would seek to have the tax bill kept to the front in committee. Mr. Smoot predicted that if the rev enue. measure were not passed before June 1, when Congress plans to ad journ for the-national party conven tions only a recess would be taken at that time, with adjournment put off until such f time as the tax bill was completed, .
