the Btret and a workman in the Bal
lyma Carrett area was shot dead. Th<
casualties number 114 with 34 dead.
Belfast, Feb. 15.?Firing in th<
Stanhope street area, where the dis
orders broke out anew this aftemoor
after a lull of several hours, became
so intense that police, hurried to the
scene, were forced to use their arms
to subdue tho snipers, but disorderlj
crowds continued to gather and a bayonet
charge was ordered, in which t
civilian was badly wounded. The district
simmered with excitement
throughout the afternoon.
About 5 o'clock there was a renewed
outbreak of firine from the Old Lodee
? road into Townsend street, one streel
removed from Stanhope. Here e
storekeeper was shot through the head
and was taken to the hospital in a
dying condition; two persons were
seriously wounded. Many others were

number of casualties for four days
passes 100.
The attack this afternoon on the
New Northern Spinning company in
the Falls road, in which the assistant
manager, William Duffin, was killed
and a clerk wounded, was particularly
savage. Six men invaded the offices
drew their revolvers and fired indiscriminately.
Duffin, busy at his desk
fell dead immediately. Some 15 shots
were fired.
Duffin is a nephew of Adam Duffin
member of the northern Ireland senate.

Department Gives
Cost of Living Facti
Washington, Feb. 16.?Julius H
Barnes, former wheat director, calling
attention to the rise of wheat 12 cent:
and corn 2 cents in a week's period
says: "It is time to quit telling th
farmer that he is bankrupt. It i
time to quit telling industry that ther
is no farm market. All farm sellini
prices are on the upgrade."
The department of labor report
that returns from 1,428 factories, em
ploying more than 500 persons each
indicate that an almost 5 per cen
gain in employment has been mad
since the first of the year. Nearl;
all industries, outside of steel textile
and railroads, increased their labo
forces. In Detroit, center of the
tomobile industry, the increase wa
89.9 per cent; in Sioux City, Iowa, 2
per cent, and in San Francisco, 14.
per cent. Chicago was listed with
4 per cent improvement among 4
cities reporting increases.
The bureau of labor statistics re
ports that in the past 18 months ther
has ben a 19.5 per cent cost of livini
drop. A further fact comes to ligh
through reports of automobile licens
offices, the purchasing of new car
being justly regarded as a baromete
of good times. Maryland reports
14 per cent increase in January taj
sales for 1922 over the total of 1921.

MELLON RAPPED I
BY TOM WATSON
Washington, Feb. 15. ? Secretary
Mellon is holding the office of secre- I
tary of the treasury in violation of f
the law and cun be arrested for re- r
taining the place if any one sees fit <1
to swear out a warrant charging him c
with the offense, Senator Watson t
(Democrat) of Georgia declared in the t
senate late today. The law which Mr. n
Mellon is violating, Senator Watson v
said, prohibits the secretary of the f
treasury from engaging in any kind 1
of business or commerce. r
Senator Watson told the senate that
Mr. Mellon could be impeached "any
time we see fit" and read to the sen- ^
ate the provision of Section 243 of the 1
revised statutes which, he declared,
expressly forbids Mr. Mellon to re- *
tain his place. He declared that by v
staying in office the secretary was *
violating ine law, adding that it was '
generally known that Mr. Mellon was r
one of the wealthiest individuals in
the country. *
The assertions by the Georgia sen- v
ator were made in connection with *
several speeches of the accomplish- n
meats of the two major political par- *
ties. He informed the senate in the r
course of his remarks that the law,
now listed as Section 243, was passed c
in the first congress of the United *
States, and that during the adminis- T
tration of President Grant A. T. Stew- c
art had withdrawn after being nam- ^
ed secretary of the treasury when at- f
tcntion was called to provisions of 1
the act. c
Senator Watson asked Senator Hef- 1
lin (Democrat) of Alabama for his c
opinion on "what the people will think
of the way our government is being e
run when a criminal, unconvicted, but *
disobeying the penalty open and no- t
toriously committing a crime, is left *
in charge of our national funds and *
the refunding of debts of $11,000,000,- :
000. <
Senator Heflin said that Senator *
Watson had shown that Secretary *
Mellon was violating the law and thatj ,
it was time for senators to speak. (
Mr. Watson stated that Mr. Stewart
had resigned three days after his confirmation
by the senate and after
President Grant had learned of the
provisions of the law. ~ <
"And Mr. SteWart
tinued the senator, "why should not j
Mr. Mellon resign? Why should he (
continue in office in insolent violation ,
of the law? He knows it; so does ,
President Harding know it and the
Republican party is going to have to ,
answer for it this fall for I do not be- '
lieve the people will stand for open
violation of the law by n member of
the cabinet when persons throughout
the coutnry are prosecuted for trivial :
offenses." I
Asking why the president did not *
"respect the statutes." Senator Wat- t
son said that Mr. Mellon was "impu- ?
dent" for retaining the office and I
ought to resign. I
"If he doesn't resign," he added, !
"then the pi*esident ought to ask for i
his resignation." i
The Georgia senator referred to the 1
recent passnge of the allied debt
funding bill and said that never be- 1
fore in history had so much money
been placed in the hands of one man
to handle, "and that man is violating
the law every day of his life." He
challenged "all of the lawyers in the
senate" to refute his statements relative
to Mr. Mellon's right to remain
as secretary.
Mr. Watson referred to Mr. Mellon
as "a colossal figure in the business
world" and declared that he had no
more right to be secretary of the
treasury than had "J. P. Morgan or
John D. Rockefeller or a member of
the firm of Sears, Roebuck & Co., if
you please."
He also read from James G. Blaine's
"Twenty Years in Congress" a reference
to the circumstances surrounding
the nomination of Mr.. Stewart.
This told how Mr. Grant had asked
congress first to amend the law to
except Mr. Stewart and then after it
was seen that congress was unwilling
to make the changes the president
I withdrew the request ar.d the newly
named secretary resigned.

Washington* Feb. 15.?The soldiers' j

n the air. (
Congress was without any word <
rom President Harding as to his \
iews on the subject and, meantime,
he committees which have been i
inndling the problem continued to .
nark time. j
Among senators and representatives j
;enerally the*4 was considerable pri- j
-ate discussion and conjecture with ,
he revival on the house side of talk \
ibout a slashing of annual appropria- \
<on bills as a weans of providing the
lecessary finances for the bonus.
Representative M on dell of Wyoming j

ailed at the White House early in the (

aid afterwaTds that the supply mens- (
ires would be examined carefully to .
letcrmine whether much of the sum ,
leeded for the bonus could not be |
ibtained from that direction. .
This proposition met with considTable
response from members of the
?ouse where apparently there is a (
crowing desire to put the bonus bill' ,
hrough. There were suggestions that' j
is a result of the agreement for a (

REIGN OF TERROR
POSSIBLE PLAN
Ixjs Angeles, Feb. 15.?A terrorist
program of international scope may
be revealed through the arrest here
last night of eight alleged members
of a band of extortionists, it was said
tonight by federal and other officers
who participated in the arrest.
Three men arrested recently in
widely separated cities are believed
to have had in their possession "unmistakable
evidence" of alliliation
with the mentaken into custody here,
it was said.
These three men were arrested in
Salt Lake City, Des Moines and Cloveland,
officers said, and they further
declared clock bombs and duplicate
written instructions were found on all
Ihree.
The eight men caught here last
night were trapped by federal agents,
sheriff deputies and private detectives
after an attempt to extort $25,000
iroiii a |iiuniim:iib ijus uu>iness
man under throats of death, and
nfter it was charged they had obtained
large sums from other men
through similar means.
It was said at least 20 residents- of
Los Angeles have received threatening
demands for money and have had
their homes under guard for a week.
Names of the men involved as well
us the names of the officers working
on the case are withheld by the authorities
for fear vengeance will be
exacted by friends of the men under
orrest. Efforts to arrest other alleged
members of the band here were continued
today, officers failing to find a
trace of a ninth man they believe
they wounded last night.
It is said that the extortion phase
of the alleged operations here, while
on a large scale, was only a "side
issue" with terrorism as the main obeetive.
Postal inspectors said today
that for weeks they had been holding
warrants charging use of the mails to
defraud for the men caught last
night.

Power Tax Bill
Killed By Senate
By a vote of 26 to 18 the senate
yesterday killed the hydro-electric tax
bill following debate from Tuesday
morning until the vote was reached
at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. This
is the first of the new revenue measures
to be killed by the upper house
and the action of the senate disrupts
partially the proposed program for
relieving the burden from visible
tangible property.
The vote was set soon after convening
when Senator Hart moved that the
senate take a vote on the bill at 1
o'clock. This was adopted without
much opposition. Senator Hart explained
that he in no way wished to
prevent any senator from speaking
to defeat or pass the hydro-electric
tax bill or any other bill, btu thought
the senate should expedite legislation
if it ever expected to finish its work.

NO CARS RUN 1
IN COLUMBIA
Columbia was afoot yesterday.
Not a street ear moved from the
barns of the Columbia Railway, Gas
and Electric company and all day the
people walked. The rains descended '
almost without intermission from '
dawn to evening, and the citizens :
walked. I he tieup of the street car 3
system was complete and people do- '
pendent upon trolley cars for trans- ^
portation were hard put to it, the rain '
adding discomfort to the inconven- '
ience caused by the absence of the 1
cars. t
Indications last night were that citi- 1
zens would foot it again today as no
progress was made towards a settlement
of the differences between the 1
street car company and its motormcn 1
and conductors. The street car work- '
crs, following the discharge of 21 employees
Tuesday, went on strike yes
terday morning shortly after midnight,
and last night A. A. Gerald,
president of the union, in response to
a question, said: "The street cars '
will not he operated by us Thursday.
We have nothing to add to the state- '
ment we gave out yesterday. I can
not. say how long the strike will continue."
i
The Columbia Railway, Gas and 1
i Fleetric company issued a statement
in which it set forth that it had lost
more than $119,000 during 1921; that
the company had dispensed with the
services of 21 conductors; that it hadj
retained a sufficient number of mon^
to operate the cars, and it also gave(
out the correspondence which has)
taken place between the company and
its employees.
The strike came as a surprise yesj
terday to hundreds of Columbians
who did not know that such action
was contemplated. All day. in the
suburbs, people could be seen trudging
steadily through the rain on the way
to their works, hut the owners of automobih
s were most considerate and
many a citizen was given a "pickup."
Pupils of the high school, many of
whom reside in the suburbs and who
use the street cars to get to school,
were also picked up by passing autoists.
so that they were able to arrive
at their desks on time.?The State.

solemnized at the home of Mr. and
Mrs. J. C. Darby on South Main street
last Tuesday when Miss Pauline McDaniel
became the bride of Mr. E. 0.
