L ' 14, KIRBY TO ALSO MAKE AN APPEAL Lexington, Sept. 29.?Notice ha3 been served upon Solicitor T. e. Callison by A. D. Martin, appointed by the court tt defend S. J. Klrby, one of the three Columbians convicted at< the recent term of the court of general sessions, of the murder of William Brazell, Columbia taxi driver, that KirbyV esse will be appealed to the state supreme court. This ap peal acts as an automatic stay of ex ecution and Kirby, who has been held in the death cell at the state peniten tiary since his conviction, will not di< October 21, ^es provided in the sen tence imposed by Judge Sease, instead getting a new lease on life unti' the case can be heard by the supreme court. The Jesse Gr.ppins case has already been appealed to the supreme cour? and C. O. Fox remains as the onlj member of the trio scheduled to dif October 21. Notice of the appeal of the Kirby case was served upon Solicitor Calli Bon both by mail and in person, the notice being stuck under the door of ' the solicitor's office during his absence front Lexington. The notices wore dated September 26 and therefore, So licitor Callison says, will fall within the time limit allowed by law in which the appeal can be made. Mr. Martin has yet to prepare -his appeal, but, he announced last night, an effort will be made to prove that Kirby is mentally deranged and therefore not responsible for his crime. Mrs. S. J. Kirby, the prisoner's wife, made a per sonal appeal to Gov. Robert A. Cooper the day following the trial, claim Ing that her husband was mentally deranged, due to a blow on the head and prolonged illness. Kirby, his wife told the governor, now wears a silver plate in his skull. This personal plea, however, was disregarded by the chief executive. Kirby, the first of the trio to face trial, -admitted on the stand that he had assisted Jesse Gappins in holding young Brazell while C. O. Fox calmly proceeded to stab the taxi driver to deatn. ruroy aiso aamiueu that he had bought the blackjack which was broken over the driver's head by Fox. Kirby, according to the testimony of Gappins and Fox, waa stealing .plot, which resuYtecT'ih""the killing of Brazell. The supreme court opens its fall session in October and it is not probable that either the Kirby'or Gappins appeals will be heard at that time, although it is possible that the :cases may be heard by mutual consent. Even should the case be heard at the fall session of the supreme court a decision would hardly be handed down before Christmas as the court will be in session until after Thanksgiving.

Both expressed hopes of obtaining a formal order of the senate tomorrow providing for such a program and all factions expressed the opinion that the agreement would be reached. Announcement of the negotiations was made in the senate late today by Senator Lodge, and with the discus sion showing evdences of success the Republicans dropped their plan for a session tonight. Senator Lodge intimated, however, that should the agree ment be blocked, he would return t< the night session drive for ratification Mr. Lodge said he had "?very reason-_ able hope" of reaching an agreement and Senator Underwood, the Democratic leader, also said an agreement had been "practically reached" and was ready for consummation tomorrow. Involved in the program is a proposal that should any senator desire to debate the treaties the tax revision bill would be laid aside temporarily. It is expected, however, that the tax measure actually will be before (he senate most of next week, with the following week, preceding the date fov voting, largely devoted to the treaties. The movement for a voting agreement developed today in a conference of Democratic senators who declared unanimously against the Republican plan for night sessions and authorized overtures by Senator Underwood to the Republican for a voting agreement. The Democrats reaffirmed ttyeir stand against making ratification a party question and left each senatov free to vote as he shall determine. In the effort to agree upon a date for voting on ratification Chairman renrose 01 xne nnance commmee .in charge of the tax bill agreed to give way to the treaties, stating he be lieved it would operate actuary to expedite his measucf*.

Tarbell of New a] York told the delegates to the National safety Council here tonighL ^ "I am not here to talk about the new area of work whicn Nvonfen Ih n the war added to that already meld," ^ Miss Tarbell said, "but rather. thh* u, it consider the possibility of rallying to the work of the Council a great g body women entirely outcidc of indus- g< try itself but responsive to appeals q for public service, and many of them organzed in'such a way as to focus ^ power and influence quickly on tasks ^ which apepal to their imaginations and to their hearts. r "The psychological effect of the present indifference to safety in our streets and on our highways cannot be ignored by industry. The wanton recklessness of the road dulls tj 'the attention. .and interest .of the in- tj dustdSl' wdfWi'' a on. ki 'taking a chance'?becomes as R out of fashion as a bicycle?reck- tl lessness as popular as an automobile. C That is, public safety is the direct concern of Industrial Safety. The n< latter cannot accomplish its ends as w loner as the mental attitude it needs hi for its work is constantly weakened ti by wanton indifference to the for- ei mer. m "The woman power of the country tl must be enlisted. I do. not know a h; finer job thaiy to go after the wo- tl men, particularly organized women. si "I understand the feelings of cer- ir tain women that a women in industry a section is what you may call a throw- Y back, that women should be taken y, into the. safety council not as women ic at all^ but as industrial workers, re- p gardless of sex. We have a long way H to go socially, and industrially in j< this world before women will cease ei to be differentiated from men in all tl activities. Mother Nature will have ij to undo her work entirely before tl there will be no special problems b connected with women wherever you meet them. cl "It is the business of this section g to handle whatever there is- special si in the problem, whether it is the best a method of getting the obstinate girl at a dangerous machine to wear her o cap, or having persuaded her to wear ri it, to keep her bangs tucked in; or n whether it - is the big and definite e problem that I am .suggesting,- en- a listing the women of the country, or- ? ganized and unorganized, in a public p safety- campaign. n "It is something of a job, and if it s had not been for our experience with c women's organizations in the war I e should not f^el so hopeful about it. That experience convinced me that the woman power of the country can be mobilized for permanent safety work, if this section will lead the n J way. "Suppose that this section was t able to rally in each state to work of industrial and public safety all of the great women's organized associations, i to persuade them to take up this work v , as a permanent interest, what a power we would have behind the National Safety Council! Properly put to , them, they would rise to it like a a fish to a fly. It is their kind of hting. ; "If this Council is going into public v , safety work^ as I most certainly be- J t lieve it is its duty to do, passing on to the public its splendid experience - and achievement, it s going to need f ? the women. And t ought to be the > business of this section to help capt turfe them for this enterprise." j Reichstag Ratifies Treaty \ i Berlin, Sept. 30/?The reichstag passed a bill ratifying the treaty with - the United States, only the Commun- < ists voting against it.

The new constitution proclaims advanced principles. It declares the inviolability of the human life. This ' his been a tendency of the LatinAmerican republics, death penalty having been abolished in the laws of j Brazil, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecua dor, Guatemala, Horjluial, Nicara gua, Panama, Uruguay and Venezuela. Liberty of thought and conscience is guaranteed. There can be no leg islation on religious matters and all forms of worship not opposed to morals, god customs and public orders are allowed. Religious associations which compel a person to an unconditional obedience or establish confinement in cloister are prohibited. A religious act cannot be presented to prove the civil status of a man This provision is meant to do away with the ancient principle of Spanish legislation which recognized the re ligious certification of birth, marri: age, or death as valid and good as the state certifications.
