Doolittle, 90th Acre Squadron, whose attempt to fly acros? * the continent In one day with only one stop ended abruptly at Pablo Beach 18 miles east of here, last night wher his plane was wrecked before it took the air, expected today to aseertaii the extent of the damage to the ma chinc and determine whether he wouij makek a seoond start. The aviator headed south on th< beach for the taking off and was almost on the point, of leaving the giound when his running gear struck a short strench of soft sand. Th< machine swerved and headed dii'eetly into* the surf. Upon strikikng the waves it turned over and landed or his back in Bhallow water. National guardsmen and spectators who rushed to the scene expecting Doolittle to be injured found him unheart and berating his ill luck. A hurried examination of the maehin as it lay in the water disclosed t broken wing and smashed propeller. The accident spoiled what Doolittle ^^^^^^utpected to be the first successful mgnt across the country but was forced^ to land fn ^fe^ico Lieutenant W. D. Coney last year flex from San Diego to Jacksonville ir preparation for a one-day return trip with a brief 'stop at Dallas, and received fatal injuries when his plam crashed near Monroe, La,, on tht westward flight. Lieutenant Doolittle said a few minutes before the start last night thai he felt he would be successful sine he believed Pearson and Coney hac exhausted all the ill luck connectec with the attempt. Idustrial Tone '< More Reassuring Washington, Aug. 7. ? Despite th? coal and rail strikes, there is t strong undercurrent throughout th< country in the direction of industna recovery, the department cf labor an nounced today' in an analysis of busi ness conditions for the month ending July 31. An optima 2 opinion pre vails, the statement added, that witl the settlement of the two major con troversies the country will experienci a rapid advance in industrial pros perifcy. Evidence to support this opinion the department said, was found in de tided increases of employment in 11 of 14 basic industries. Decreases o employment in liquor and beverag' plant" and the tobacco industry wen said to have been negligible. The survey indicates that the rail road repair shops of the country re corded the heaviest decreases in labo employment. Employment in the tex tile industry continued to improve, i was asserted. In many sections of the countr; building operations were said to b reflected in the employment increase in the lumber industry. The buildinj boom continues unabated, it was as serted. nifi/ia nut af llf* /'nvovu, by the industrial analysis reporte< employment increases for the montli In Greenville Quite a number of people are at tending the Baptist Assembly whirl is in session at Furman University Greenville, S.

' fcy ML NO FAVOR FOR I HARDING'S PLAfi f _ Now York, Aug. 7.?Abortion thaJ . ^President Harding's now proposal foi y .ending the rail strike would seem "tc ^ be a demand -or a complete surrcndoi i? "of the position of the railway presiJ 'dents, as stated lass Tuesday," was i made by L. P. Loree, ph,airman of the f Pastern presidents' conference, at th1 1 closfl of an informal meeting of t&'.\ 1 heads late today. i Mr. I.orce emphasized, however, that r he was expressing merely a personal i opinion and was not speaking for the I conference. He also insisted that the conference which preceded the stote? incnt was purely informal and that no 1 decision had been reached by those ?vho attended it. - Mr. Loree's statement follows: % ! "In the resolution adopted* by the railway executives on August 1, they - took the position squarely 'that the striking former employees can not bo jriven preference to employees at present in the service without doing violence to every principle of right and justice involved in this matter, > and without the grossest breach of i faith on the part of the railroads to s the men at present in their service.' > "President Harding in his proposii t;on today said, 'therefore, only the : ciuestion of seniority covered in para: graph 3, which executives rejected, ro mains in dispute. 1 "He calls upon both workmen and carriers, under the law, to take the - question in dispute to the. railroad - labor board for hearing and decision ' and the compliance by both, with the : decision rendered.' "It would seem that tihs request de' mands a complete surrender of the ' position of the railroad presidents i as stated last Tuesday." > Washington, Aug. 7. ? President ! Harding's new proposal for settling | the i-ailroad strike apparently ad-; vances "no constructive program," ' leaders of the striking shop craftsmen said tonight after a protracted conference. They announced that a meeting of executives of all railroad I unions, including the four brother hoods, would be summoned to consider ' what action should follow rejection ?- nifii I B. M. Jewell, head of the shop crafts r federation, said that the president's ? settlement proposals constituted "a i most uncalled for attempt to help the *i railroads break the strike." He added < that "nobody ought to get the idea - that the shop federations will accept." Captures Big Still Barnwell, Aug. 7.?In a rai'l nu.de ' Sunday afternoon by Sheriff C. Keys ' j Sanders, one 80 gallon copper anil and 100 gallons of mash were captured in the lower Three Runs swamp near Donora, about ten miles west [ of Barnwell. The still, whirl; was I one of the most complete ever canj tured in Barnwell county, was not in t j operation at the time of the raid. i Warrants have been sworn out. for 1 three white men and five negroes but . so far only one, a negro, has been - arrested. , _ Full Attendance Desired Washington, Aug. 8.?President 2 Harding is understood today to have - informed Representative Mondell and other house leaders that in view of , troubled industrial situation it was de sirable there be a full IfRendance ol' Dj members next Tuesday whew the f house reconvenes after six weeks' ad5 journment. The President feels, it was e learned, that the house should be prepared to enact such legislation as the - situation, especially the rail strike, - might necessitate.

GERMANY MAKING I EFFORT TO ESCAPE i . London, Aug 7 (By the Associated r Tress).?The allied statesmen who i are meeting here in an endpavor to 1 solve the European riddle, today de. voted five hours to an analysis of tin t conditions existing between Great 1 Britain, France, Italy and Belgium.. The conference terminated in the appointment of a committee, comppsp,d of the finance ministers of ttysc countries, which is to examine into specific proposals made by Raymond P< !ncare, the French pi*emier. These proposals have not been made public. The committee, in collaboration with the financial experts, is to meet under the chairmanship of Sir Robert S. Home, British chancellor of the exchequer, at 10:30 o'clock tomorrow morning. It will make a report to the full conference some time Tuesday or Wednesday. The appointment of the committee followed a proposal by David Llyod George, the British prime minister, to grant a moratorium to Germany wnu-n would terminate at the end 01 t the present year, and the outline by t M. Poincare measures which France ii considers should precede any further \ eiTort to alleviate German obligations. e "France has no objection to a h moratorium in principle," said M. c Poincare. He then outlined the plan 1 whieh he indicated would be satis- e factory to France's requirements, c "Every sanction," Mr. Lloyd George i replied, "should be considered as to c whether it will result merely in J trouble or in hard eaBh." ' s Mr. Lloyd George discussed M. t Poincare's proposition in detail and t expert advice should be invited before c the ministers said yes or no to it. s The question of referring the matter to a committee was unanimous. v The French, British, Belgian and a Italian spokesmen during the session v painted gloomy pictures of their war s ravaged countries and consequent chaotic trade conditions. Baron Hay- c ashi, the Japanese representative, f threw a ray of sunshine into the con- u ference and brought the first laughter t among the delegates when he made tne declaration: "T ttitnR ttie stngte object of the allies should be to get the money possible." t I Mr. Lloyd George in a brief adI diess opened the conference. He i j said the British government favored awaiting the report of the reparations < | ommittee before completing an allien > meeting but that others had thought the circumstances necessitated an im- < mediate gathering. He then invited s ; M. Poincare to elaborate his view. s ' M. Poincare said he thought the < meeting was necessary because two factors of great importance had de- 1 veloped since the last conversations 1 in London; namely, the German d^- I i mand for a moratorium and the note of the Earl of Balfour concerning 111- 1 terallied debts. The French premier ' I added that the Versailles treaty re- 1 I quired Germany to pay her due?. 1 | "She actually is paying nothing," he ! exclaimed. i Turn to South for Mill Site ' Gustonia, N.

Cotton Prices Worry York, Aug. 7.?York farmers who 1 have been holding their gotten for 1 25c a pound are much disconcerted ' at the persistent downward trend of the market during the past week.

The latter are now fearful that they I have "gotten left" but still have some i hope that the widespread weevil ac- < ' tivity will sooner or later react on the < price of the staple. i First Presbyterian Church i Prayer meeting Wednesday 6 p. m.

COAL SITUATION REMAINS r ACUTE Some ton or more aam of coal arrived in Spartanburg yesterday, Prank Bhegly, chairman of the reload "commission announced, These avs were all diveftod to the more essential classes as outlined by the fed?rpl gpvemment. 'i , AU d^y yqfltorday the commission vas deluged with requests for faej 'rom all parts of thai state and pne >fTicial when askc(f how the situation vas, said Sherman's remark about ve.r might well be applied to the coal lituation. The several telephones in he commissioner's office rang ail lay and many people called in person o get coal. The situation is acute and no coal s on hand with little cpming into the itato, the commission announced. Saturday a big shipment arrived nt Spartanburg, but much of this wn? ailroad coal and not subject to orlers from the fuel administrators. Two additional cara were alloted he Columbia Railway, Gas & Electric ompany yesterday, making five cars o be diverted to this company since he commissic^ took charge. This vill only run the gas plant about a vcek, it was said. Practically every manufacturer and sverybody else for that matter thinks ic should get priority coal, but tlx oinmission soon dispels any such b >ief by reading the orders of the ffcdral government. The commission is listributing the coal under explicit ules and regulations and has no hoice in the matter* Chairman Jhealy has already said that any peron caught making misstatements to he commission will subject himse'f o a continued dearth of coal as nc rders will be approved'for such peron. The commission urges the use of vood wherever possible in order to avo coal for those who Can not obtain yood. This will materially help the ituation, Chairman Shealy believes.
