HARDING DELIVERS
FAREWELL ADDRESS
Washington, Feb. 6.?President Harding,
addressing the final session of
the arms conference, declared the conference
had wrought truly a great
achievement and if the faith plighted
here is kept in the national honor it
will make the beginning of a new and
better epoch in human progress. No
new stnr.fiards of national honor have
been sought, but indictments of national
dishonor have been drawn. You have
written the first deliberate and
effective expression of great powers,
in consciousness of peace, of wars and
utter futility and challenged the sanity
of competitive preparation for
each other's destruction. You have
halted the folly and lifted the burdens ]

Hhe results accomplished and his con- (
jp^* viction that the experiment has justi- (
tied full faith in the practice of sot- (
tling troublesome questions in an "in- 1
ternational meeting of minds."
? Mr. Harding's belief in "conference
plan" of conducting international
Kj ? negotiations has been so strengthened '
by the developments here, his friends
say, that he regards the intangible
relationships resulting from the 1
Washington meeting as of even greater
significance that the formal agree- ^
ments that are ta be brought to consummation
tomorrow. He is to make
only a short speech but it is expected 1
to contain important utterances on the
geenral subject of international felDespite
the small amount of work
left to it, however, tomorrow's session
may cover several hours. Four treaties
and a supplement to a fifth are to
be signed by the delegates at the big
green table in Continental hall around
which all the public meetings of the
conference have been held the affixing
of war seals and all the exacting work
of inspecting the treaty text before
signature are tasks of such importance
that conference officials say there ,
will be no dispostion to hurry. j
Two of the treaties, that relating to
the root "four points" and the open
door, and that dealing with Chinese
tariff problems, must be signed by the
fun delegations of the United States, |
oreni tmunn, japan, r ranee, Italy,
China, Belgium, Portugal and the
Netherlands, while the other two, limiting
capital ship strength and regulating
submarine and poison gas warfare,
are to be given approval by the
plenipotentiaries of the United States,
Great Britain, Japan, France and
Italy. All these except Italy are to
sign also the supplemental agreement
defining the scope of the four-power
Pacific treaty.

DEMOCRATS HOLD
OPTIMISTIC VIEW
By Hugh W. Roberts.
Washington, Feb. 5.?While senate
Democrats are scrupulously observing
an indirect suggestion sai<
to have emanated from former President
Wilson that tftey withhold
praise or criticism of the achievements
of the Washington conference
until the labors of that conference
had been complete, there is a certain
and tangible indication that belief is
general that results for the good of
the world have been consummated.
At one time, it was an obvious fact
that certain Democrats were preparing
to emulate the example of the
Republicans in 1920 and attempt to
kill the treaties to be submitted for
political reasons. The indications
now are these Democrats, after expressing
their opinion of the tactics
of the Republicans respecting the
Versailles treaty, and after indulging
in criticisms in order that their record
might be clear, will support the
treaties to be submitted by President
Harding. It is generally predicted
that after long debate they will be
ratified.
The probable political effect of the
achievements of the Washington conference
is the subject of interesting
rontroversy.
Up to the present moment there
has been no politics. There is no
Joubt, however, that at the proper
time President Harding will refer
"with pardonable pride" to the conference
as an achievement of his administration.
But, in the opinion of
some Democratic strategists, his
:Iaim to such an achievement will not
ae as clear or as tenable as the Demxratic
claim.
In the first place, the president was
authorized to call the conference by
virtue of the Borah amendment which
the administration forces opposed
and which lived in consequence of
united Democratic support in both
louses of congress. In the second
E>dace, the Republicans, in supporting
the Harding treaties, providing for
international agreements and guaranteeing
territorial integrity, and
tJrevtdffcg for UitfematioTWf PonsUM*tion
in event of any of the signatories
are threatened with attack, will accept
the fundamental principles of
the Versailles treaty which they pretended
to scorn and actually to fear.
Thus, when the time comes to play
politics, the Democrats will not fail
to enter their claim. They insist
that they will be able to make it
[jood.
Secretaries of the conference have
prepared a statement setting out the
net results of the conference. First
in order, of course, is the four-power
treaty. This limits the size of the
navies of the world, puts an end to
the race for supremacy, and will ren
der unnecessary the enormous appropriations
for super-dreadnaughts
which bumer.ed the people with insufferable
loads of taxation. This
treaty will make it impossible either
for the United States to go with its
navy to .lapan or for Japan to come
to the United States with its navy.
It also eliminates that secret agreement
between England and Japan
which was always by the people of the
United States regarded as a menace.

DEMOCRATS WILL
SUPPORT TREATIES
Washington, Feb. 5.?The prediction
- that the Democratic party would
make gains in every state in the
I North, East nnd West and would re
tricvc in the coming campaign the
[ ground lost in Tennessee and Texas in
the last election was made today by
; Representative Arthur B. Rouse of
> Kentucky, chairman of the Democratic
i national congressional committee. In
i a formal statement Mr. Rouse announced
that the congressional committee
reorganization would be completed
within a week.
"We have been proceeding energetically,"
the statement said, "and have
, about completed our organization in
each state. Our committee includes
in its membership a representative in
congress from every state in the union
that has Democratic representation
in the national law-making body.
There are now 2.1 states without Democratic
representation. In all except
five of these I have appointed u prominent
Democrat to represent the state
on the committee and the organization
will be complete wtihin a week.
"The committee also will have a
woman representative in each state
and about half of these appointments
have been made."
Regarding political conditions
throughout the country, Mr. Rouse
said that reports from every state
and many districts therein "indicate
that the people are not satisfied with
the present administration and are
cspcciully displeased with congress
tecause there has been a complete
failure in redeeming the promises of
relief that were made during: the last
campaign." He described business
conditions as "rotten," asserting that
they were worse now than three
months ago, and were continuing to
grow worse. The emergency tariff
law, Mr. Rouse declared, has been "an
absolute failure," and instead of helping
the farmer as it was passed "ostensibly"
to do, "we find farmers burning
corn for fuel and wheat selling
lower than when the bill was passed.
As a result of such conditions," he 1
concluded, "we will make gains this
year in every state in the East, North
ana We9t and will redeem the districts
we lost in the last election in
Tennessee and Texas."
NEW POPE CHOSEN
Rome, Feb. 6.?Cardinal Achille
Hatti, archbishop of Milan, was elected
pope, taking the name "Piux XI."
The multitude awaiting before the
Vatican gave a mighty shout at 11:33
when a thing white wisp of smoke
poured from the Systine Chapel chimney.
The new pope was greeted by
the cardinals, donned the papal robes
, and, accompanied by the cardinals,
appeared on the cathedral balcony and
bestowed upon the populace his first
public benediction.

Two New
Extension Publications
Clemson College, Feb. 4.?In order
to meet^he demands in two phases of
farming now attracting increasing in
' terest the Extension Service has is
sued two new publications; namely,
1 Extension Bulletin 42 (Revised.,
1 "Home Gardening in South Carolina,'
and Information Card 20, "Curing
! Pork on the Farm." Both of these
' publications nre free to citizens of
1 South Carolina for the asking.
"Home Gardening in South Carolina"
is a 40-page bulletin giving general
information on gardening, with
Ji Mention tn such matt ara na aniuKI..
soils, how plants fed and grow, cultit
vation methods, fertilizers, hotbeds
and cold frames, brief individual dis>
cussion of the various vegetables, va1
lieties recommended for the home
garden, information and instructions
for spraying and other treatment for
' insect pests and fungous diseases
' which attack garden vegetables. A
specially interesting feature of the
publication is a double-page table giving
in compact form information as to
. quantity of seed to plant, when to
plant, when to transplant, how to fertilize,
etc.
r "Curing Pork on the Farm" is a
j mailing card giving brief instructions
on the dry curing method and the
brine cuving method and on smoking
2 the cured meat. This card puts in a
few words helpful instruction for the
benefit of farmers, many of whom
- have no definite information on best
methods of curing pork.
NEW TAX BELS*
HOLD INTEREST
Interest in tax legislation in the
general assembly this, week^ will be
divided almost equally between the
two houses, the senate occupying itself
with the consideration of the two
corporation tax measures, the moving
picture license tax bill, the income
tax bill and the hydro-electric
tax bill, while the time of the lower
house will be devoted to the consideration
of the luxuries tax measure
and tho senate amendments to the inheritance
and gasline tax bills, both
of which were returned to th house
last week. The brokers' license tax
bill, the ninth of the series of new
levenue measures, is also expected
to come up for consideration in the
house during the week. The timber
tax bill, also another new revenue
measure, originating in the senate,
was tabled and withdrawn last week,
when the pool room license tax bill,
which is expected to replace the pool
room bill introduced last year, is still
in the hands of the ways and means
committee.
Neither house will be in session today,
the senate not meeting until 8
o'clock Tuesday night, while the
house reconvenes for its fifth week
Tuesday at noon. The afternoon session
of th? house, however, will be
devoted exclusively to the consideration
of local and uncontested measures
and for this reason will probably
be very meagerly attended. The
house's night sessions will begin at
8:15 o'clock.
The inheritance tax and the gasoline
tax bills are botl^ expected to
meet with opposition in the house in
their present form. The gasoline tax
bill, as amended by the senate, provides
that the proceeds from the two
cents a gallon tax on gasoline shall
be divided equally between the counties
and the state. In this form it
does not well fit into the remainder
of the tax program, which is designed
to provide new revenue sources for
the Btate and so reduc^ the burden
of taxation upon the owners of visible
property. A number. pf-^fr*islators
havp 89en in these way ^o
reduce tBteir"?l>UUUf ' ?u? 1 *
is probable that a fight may be made
in the house to either maintain the
division as fixed by the senate or to
send the entire proceeds of the gasoline
tax into the counties' coffers.
The ways and means committee, how
ever, will devote its efforts to mak
ing the tax, like the other revenue
measures, strictly a state tax. Thus
disagreement, it is expected, will
send both hills to free conference
committees.
The luxuries tax bill, which is expected
to be the greatest revenue producer
on the program, is now on the
house calendar as a special order and
should be reached cither Tuesdayright
or Wednesday. This bill, as reported
out with amendments, would
impose taxes on theater and other
amusement tickets, automobiles, soft
drinks and beverages and soft drink
syrups and cigars, cigarettes and to
baceo. Representative Toole of Aik
en, however, has amendments prepared
to make the tax also applicable
to chewing gun, silk stockings, furs
perfumes, dice and playing cards.

SEARCH CONTINUES
FOR MURDERER
1 I os Angeles, Feb. <*>.?The police are
searching for a prominent young New
Yorker, once engaged to the beautiful'
film star, believing jealously caused'
1 the Taylor murder.
;

ing papers of William Desmond Taylor,
slain motion picture director. Effort-,

the murder, was taken to jail fot
i questioning, but was later released.

actor and camera man, taken;
into custody here tonight by deputy
sherilFs and questioned at length for
possible clues as to the murder of
William Desmond Taylor, established j
alibis for Wednesday night, the time
of the slaying, and otherwise satisfied
the officers of their innocence of all
complicity and were released. Their
names were not made public.
Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 5.? A mo- j
tion picture actor and a camera man,
were brought to the Los Angeles coun-j
ty jail here toight for questioning as!
to their possible knowledge of clues
to the murder of William Desmond
Taylor, film director.
The make-up was still on the actor's
face when he arrived at the jail,
indicating, officers stated, that the'
deputy sheriffs who had brought him
in, Al Manning, chief criminal deputy,
and Harvey Bell, were in great!
baste to learn his story.
The men were located at a motion}
picture studio in the Hollywood district
of Los Angeles, it was stated. I
After they had been questioned sep-}
aratcly for two Hours the officers'
started back to Hollywood with the
actor.
The trip back to Hollywood, it was)
announced, was to give the actor anj
opportunity to make good hia declaration
to the deputies that if they would,
escort him there he could account for
his movements last Wednesday night,}
the night Taylor waa slain.
I H- At tvme the camera man waal
stilt in jail. *j
Another angle was the story told
by an associate of the dead director
that a former employee had been
heard to exclaim, when he heard of
the slaying: "Rill Taylor got only!
what he deserved."
? The investigation showed, the police
said, that this man had. been employed
by the Famous Players-I.asky con-,
corn, working under Taylor, in r
minor capacity.
One day he was drunk when he went
on duty. Taylor ordered him removed
from the place. The next day the man
returned only to find an order from
Taylor that he should not he admitted.
The police said they had begun a
search for him.
Lester Wing, a Chinese, former
chauffeur for Taylor, said today the
director once told him: 'I never real
ly loved hut one woman. She was my
stage partner. I was engaged to her.
hut she died before we could bo married?and
I'll never marry another
woman."
The only woman whom Taylor called
upon oiren miring wing s service
wit h hitn was Neva Gerher. fihil actress,
who said here Friday she and
Taylor once had been engaged to be
' married.
But while he and Miss Gerber were
? together two or three times a week.
according to Wing. Taylor passed
r most of his time alone.
Winified Kingston, film actress, toi
night characterized as "ridiculous"
i the report she had been engaged to.
marry Taylor, a rumor that spread
after it was discovered the only
, framed photograph found in the dii
rector's apartments was one of her.
Miss Kingston and Taylor had been
intimately acquainted, she said, a fact
. she attributed to their both being of
. British birth. She said lie told her
. something of his domestic affairs.
r The search through the director's
i belongings today brought forth messages
and notes from many film actresses,
including Blanche Sweet and

THOUSANDS OF
RUSSIANS STARVE
!
Ufa, Volga Region, Russia, Jan. 7.
(By the Associated Press). ? When
the snows melt next spring I
the Russian steppes will be strewn
with skeletons. They will resemble the
high prairies of the American country
in the days when big cattle outfits
had insufficient hay to carry theirj
stock through a hard winter.
But among the skeletons of i at tie'
and camels there will be the bones]
of hundreds of thousands men. wo-j
men and children who fell exhausted
in their quest for bread, who lived'
the. simple lives their peasant a nee.-,- j
tors lived for centuries ami had little j
conception of the political upheaval >
which made this famine more terri-j
ble than that of 189!.
They wandered, and milions ofthem-are
still wandering. There was!
unlink Kj f.iL in iiu'ir nomcs, so tncyt
started on the trek for bread. Somedrifted
westward to the Volga anil
found death in the typhus ridden railway
centers or among the horrors oft
refugee camps along the Volga; cth-!
ors started for Turkeston; still oth-1
ers started eastward towards Siberia.;
the land of gold and wheat which has'
always been so alluring to the Rus-i
sian moujik who heard little of its I
vastness, its hardships and its heart-j
lessness. The peasant knew nothing!
of modern ways. They were unable,
to buy tickets on the railroads, unable!
to get permits to ride on trains burdened
with the Red army and food for
Moscow and rctrograd. When their;
animals dropped dead the families,
walked on, always hoping that foouj
lay over the next knoll.
But the country districts have no
grain, or if peasant families have a,
small supply they conceal it in the!
effort to prolong their own lives until j
another crop is harvested. In the!
larger towns there is food for sale I
at fabulous prices, but the starving j
refugees have neither money nor
goods to exchange and can only sit!
down to wait death or trudge on j
utnil they sink of exhaustion.
The bodies that lie along the vail-j
roads are coVlected on cars and hauled
to center is, where they are p\\ed in I
"frozen, snow covered heaps to await
burial. Freezing refugees remove all
garments from the dead, so the frozen
bodies are nude when the scavangers
collect them. Families drift apart
and wander aimlessly 0:1 to their incvitablo
fate. Human instincts are
lost and they become little better than!
beasts. The city and town populations
are so hardened to suffering |
that they are little moved by the|
misery which lies all about them.
Death seems more merciful in the
country for the refugees; they sink
into the white covering of the endless
plain, and wolves strip their hones.
From Perm and Ekaterinburg to
the Caspian sea death is stalking
over the steppes. Russians, Cossacks.
Kalmucks, Kirghiz and Tartars alike
are meeting their end with hopelessness
and patience begotten of centuries
of unequal struggle against
political extortion and unfavorable
climatic conditions made worse by
ignorance of scientific methods of tilling
the soil.
American corn will bo too late to
save many of these wanderers
through the steppes as well as the
families who have elected to make
their villages remote from the railways
rather than endure the hardships
and death their neighbors have
offered along the mnin lines of
transportation. Entire village popu
lotions have d;ed in the provinces
each of the Volga and the animals
which survive are so weak it is in>
possible to get adequate horse power
to deliver food to the thousands of
snow bound, destitute settlements far
from food stations.
Low to Protect
Government From Insul*
Merlin, Feb. 3.??The "Junker"' press
and the Socialists of Germany are at
odds over a proposed law intended to
protect members of the government
from insult and to prevent anybody inciting
others to violence against them.
Announcement has been made that
the government intends to introduce
a bill in the reichstag providing for
imprisonment and fine up to 500,000
marks for persons guilty of "insult:
ing the constitution, the president or
I any member of the Central or Federated
government."
The Socialists contend that the law
is necessary to protect the country
against violent and treacherous niont
archistic propaganda and chicanery.
The Conservative and Nationalist
newspaper^ protest against it as an
attack on free speech and free
thought. They accuse the Socialists
' of outraging their own principles, as
I they formerly fought against laws
' which protected several royal person!
ages of Germany from slanderous
statements.
The newspapers now opposing the
bill have ben wont to entertain readers
with lengthy sarcastic or abusive
articles about the republican eonsti
j tution and the government's demo1
era tic political leaders.

TROOPERS CLASH
WITH STRIKE
Newport, Kl.. Fob 5.? Anot'
ries of clashes between Ke
state troops and strikers and
sympathizers growing oi t of tin
disorders at the plant of the New *
rolling mills occurred on the street,
of the city today. Numerous shots
were fired, hut so far as could Inlearned
no one was struck with bullets.
Several persons, however, are
reported to have been beaten.
While none of the clashes was na
r-erious as those on the preceding daj ,
when two men were shot and at least
a score of others beaten, including
both union and non-union men, the
state troops were called on to repulse
two attacks against their tanks and
one against a truck. Several members
of the attacking party were arrested
and taken to the temporary guardhouse
at the military headquarters
inside the plant. In each case it was
announced the soldier fired onlj after
being fired upon.
Among those arrested was Jack Nio
meyor, Toriner president ot local No.
1 r> of the strikers' union. Niomeycr.
with several others, was arrested
when the soldiers rushed a mob which
had attacked a truck guarded by the
Iroops. conveying mill employees from
the plant. He is be.ing held on suspicion.
Outside of the clashes between the
guardsmen and the strike sympathizers
the principal development of the
day was the questionig by police of
the authority of the soldiers to override
them in the enforcement of the
law, and the sending of an appeal to
Washington and to Frankfort asking
that a stop be put to conditions that
are said to exist in Newport since the
military occupation of a part, of the
ci.v. The letters cited several cases
of alleged "outrages" committed by
the guardsmen.
Several families tonight left their
homes in the mill district and sough:
shelter at the city building.
