CAMDEN YOUTH
SLAYS FATHER
Camden, Dec. 15.?W. Hamp Jordan,
a white man, said to be about
50 years of age, was shot and instantly
killed about one mile north of
Westville in this county, early Wednesday
evening.
Coyt Jordan, a lad of about 19
years and a son of the dead man, was
held today by a coroner's jury charged
with the killing. From the evidence
produced at the inquest it was testined
that the elder Jordan came home
in an intoxicated condition and began
a row with the family. He is said to
have slapped one of the children and
had his knife drawn in the act of attacking
another, when Coyt Jordan
went outside the house with his shotgun
and fired at him through the
glass. Thq load took effect in his
right eye, killing him instantly.
There were four witnesses examined
by the coroner's jury, with J. V.
Young as foreman, and they all testified
practically the same. Some of the
witnesses were not members of the
family but were visiting at the home
at the time. Jordan was a natice of
Chesterfield county, but had been residing
around Westville for two years
or more. The killing occurred about 7
o'clock.

great stride toward a five-power
treaty limiting naval armaments was
taken tonight when the United States,

agreement to include France and Italy
?was initiated immediately within

naval powers was reached on the basis
of a "status quo*' understanding
as to fortification of the Pacific islands,
at the same time the United
States and Great Britain acceding to
Japan's desire to retain her newest
battleship, the Mutsu, with proportionate
changes in the American and
British fleets.
While the principles of the original
American proposal were not impaired
by the triangular agreement, the settlement
contemplates the following
changes in fleets to be retained:
Great Britain: Twenty ships instead
of 22, with an aggregate of
582,050 tons instead of 604,450 tons.

originally proposed, but with an aggregate

but with an aggregate of 313,300
tons instead of 299,700 tons.
At the end of the ten-year building
holiday the fleets will stand under
the revised detailed plan as folows:
Great Britain, 525,000 ons; United
States, 525,000 tons; Japan, 315,000
tons. _

IDAUGHERTY ASKS
' LYON TO REM
By Hugh W. Roberts.
I Washington, Dec. 15.?The attornej
i general has asked for the resignatior
1 of C. J. Lyon, United States marshal
i of the Western district of South Caroi
Una.
f Mr. Lyon in Washington today con
. ferred with Senators Smith ami Dial
and Representatives Byrnes and Mei
Swain, and later with the attorney
i genei'al. He left tonight for home
. without making a statement and without
intimating whether or not he
i would comply with the request of the
f attorney general.
i No charges have been preferred
t against Mr. Lyon. This is admitted
t by the attorney general, but the at1
torney general states that unless Mr,
. Lyon does resign, he will order an in.
vestigation. It is believed that if jyi
. investigation is ordered it will be bas.
ed on the manner in which Lyon has
f assisted in the enforcement of the
i prohibition laws in South Carolina.
r If Lyon were permitted to complete
, his term he would serve until March,
. 1923. That the attorney general is
? desirious of departing from the ad[
ministration policy of permitting
| Democratic office holders to complete
. their terms is evidently due to presi
sure exerted by "deserving" Republii
cans hungry for the spoils of office,
j It is regarded as highly probable that
i the attorney general is moved to pro:
ceed against Mr. Lyon because of the
difficulty that Joseph Tolbert, Repubt
lican referee in South Carolina, has
t experienced in efforts to secure for his
; brother, R. R. Tolbert, the office of
i internal revenue enllertnr
I It is reported that I). H. Blair, com1
missioncr of internal revenue, has
. been unwilling to approve the ap
pointment of R. R. Tolbert. It is the
r gossip tonight that on account of the
pressure of Referee Tolbert and the
; obdurancy of Blair, the attorney gen1
eral has decided to eliminate the emi
ba rrassing situation by giving the
. referee's brother the job of marshal,
t While it is the gossip there is nat.
urally no outstanding authority to
- who "> it can be traced.
T action of the attorney general
- in pioeeeding against Mr. Lyon in the
; total absence of .charges pending
1 against him. is regarded by Soutb
i Carolina congressmen as autocratic
1 and evidence of a complete disregard
> for the amenities ordinarily governl
ing such situations.

MEMBER CONGRES
I1 TAKES OWN LIFE
Washington. Doc. 15. The body of
f Representative John A. Elston of Cal
? ifornia was found floating in the l'<>I
teniae river late today. A note found
in the congressman's coat said he \vu.]<aught
in "a chain of circumstance
which spells ruin."
,, Mr. Elston, it was said tonight, dis }
appeared iTuesday morning, but was
''found by detectives that evening.
' Within a few hours, however, he again
disappeared and that was the last
seen of him. It is believed that he
' plunged into the river late that night.
lie apparently had been suffering unI
der mental depression, although he
I had gi en no evidence of it until he
disappeared Tuesday. Upon being
found that evening he was given medical
attention.
' Failure of the government to undertake
extensive development of the
1 Alameda, Cal., naval base project was
' understood to have been a cause of
great concern to him, as ho had from
the first given close attention to this
i proposed development. Whether oth1
cr matters pertaining to his district
had also weighed upon his mind could
not be determined tonight, although
1 it was asserted that he had decided
not to stand for reelection next fall.
Mr. Elston's hat and overcoat were.
I found on the bank of the river about
' i the time the body was recovered. The j
I note found on the body said:
1 ] "I am in a chain of circumstances
that spells ruin, although my offense
| was innocently made in the beginning.
I hope all the facts come out. .viy stay
means embarrassment to my district
and to a1 worthy people, clean and
generous."
Mr. Elston was elected to congress
as a Republican from the Sixth Cali
fornia district and had been a mem
ber of the house since the Sixty-fourth
congress. He was horn at Woodland.
Ca!., February 10. 1875. In 1880 he
was admitted to the California bui
and practiced law in Berkeley until
1903 when he became secretary to
Governor Pardee. Later lie was eleet1
ed as attorney for the California state
beard of health, and was a trustee <
the California institute for deaf and

in response to an inquiry, "means imply
this: 1 ship at)0 bales of cotton, \
the company of Birmingham handling
the transaction for me and charging
me commissions for the service,
standing back of me, to Czecho-Slovakia,
where it is spun and wo.en,
or both, by mills in that country. Mr.
Freeman, the representative of the
e\p< rt ? ompany in Europe, selects
the mills and the manufacturing is
done under his direction, that is. as
to the kinds of yarn and cloth manufactured.
1 have not parted with the
title to my property. The mills cl.arg
for the service of munufar Tiring,
which is equivalent to taking toll for
what they do. Mr. Freeman market
the goods in London or Manchester.
He does not handle the money. When
the sale of the goods is made they
are paid for to me through a 1 anh i
a check good for American dollar:-.
That is the simple process."

WOMAN EXPLAINS
FOR HER ACT
N'i'\v York, lJec. 15.? Revealing
more and more of the load of anguish
which she said at last became unbearable
and drove her to take a human
life. .Mrs. Lillian S. Raizen tonight
supplied an-raided motive for sending
a bullet through the heart of Dr.
Abraham (ilhkstein in his Brooklyn
oflico last Saturday.
This, the young toyniaker's wife
confessed, was that during the six
years of their inl'macy, Dr. Glickslein
had performed an operation
which had tendered her incapable of
mi itherhood.
Only after months of married life
wiilt Mr. Uaixen, to whom she was
mat t ied last May, she said, did she
realize the full extent of her misfori
me. which inflamed in her the desire
for vengeance on the author of
in r unhappiness.
To is disclosure on the part of the
young woman, who is awaiting trial
. u a charge of murder in the first
i .i i'. was followed by the information.
t tii alio.her source, that her
i i<e u mi id be notable for the introd'a
ion .1 ideas and phrases unfamibar
to legal terminology?her alii
i.| "vengc;.nee complex," her "mur lo'

Tnis was predicted by Dr. Samuel
A. T.innrubuuni, the neurologist who
ul i <d Mis. Raizen to go South for
a clia ;gc w hen, he said, he thouirht
iiis patlent's nerves had been strained

her mkiii^c "complex-' with regard to
Hick: tein and her lire-sappitig "inI
!< i it?i >" w, uld lead to violence, either
t ? herself ?>r to Glickstein.
' hnrles is. Raizen, the accused woitia
i' husband, corroborated Dr. Tan
i oh .'iim's statement that his wife,
after confessir.jr the nature of her relations
with Glickstein, had often
f und a short morbid relief in brooding
thoughts of suicide.
". she never talked of taking the life
of Or. Ciliekstein," he said, "but she
1 ailed rf suicide. I tried-to dissuade
her. It was at Atlantic City that she
t?<ld me of her relations with the doctor.
and 1 forgave her and tried to
comfort her?told her that we would
live it out together."
Mr. Raizen expressed belief that
his wife's first plan in going to Glieks
o'n's office on Saturday was to kill
hot self in his presence.
On the advice of l>r. Tannenbaum
and the police authorities, Mrs. Raizen
is being closely watched in her cell
to forestall possible attempts at selfdestruction.
