Dem ocrat, of South Carolina. "The people of the country are going bankrupt and starving." Senator Smith asserted, "while we sit here calaily, knowing that we have placed the entire financial power of the country in the hands of the seven members of the fed eral reserve board. In that board we have created a Frankenstein to destroy us." Senator Smith attacked the board's recent statement that gold reserves were greater than in his tory, declaring that "while the na tion is burning up we boast that there is more water in the tank than ever before." A bill providing for loans of two hundred million dollars by the treasury to the federal farm loan board for loans to farmers on approved applications was intro duced by Senator ?Harris, Demo crat, Georgia. The bill directs that no federal land bank shall loan the money a I more than six per cent and that five per cent in terest shall be paid to the treas ury for the sum borrowed. Senator Heflin. Democrat. Ala bama, joined with Senator Smith and urged relief through credit ex tension to the cotton growers of the south. The Alabama Senator said the price of cotton "has been beaten down $15 a bale in the last few days by speculators without a pound of cotton in hand." Senator Heflin suggested that the cotton exchanges be closed "to stop this gambling." /. W. W.

I ?:? JUDGE RICE RULES . AGAINST STATE Circuit Judge Refuses To Grant New Trial in Sandel Case Columbia, June 22.?Judge H. F. Rice has refused to grant a new trial in the case of J. O'Neal San del, who was given a verdict for $25,250 in his suit against the state of South Carolina at the spring term of the court of com mon pleas in Richlind county. Clarence Hinnant, clerk of court, received the decision yesterday morning. Judge Rice takes the position that the jury was of the opinion that Thelma Sandel, the young daughter of the plaintiff, died from the administration of impure anti-typhoid vaccine and in that he thinks the 12 men were un questionably correct. Judge Rice in refusing to grant a new trial says: "Sandal charged in his complaint that his daughter, a child of some five or six years of age, came to her death through the instru mentality of anti-typhoid vaccine furnished by the state with which she was inoculated and that due care was not used in its prepara tion. The indisputable fact in the case was that within a- short time after it had been administered to ?her, some 48 hours, I think, she died in great agony. Her younger sister inoculated at the same time also died within'a few hours. The father and mother also were quite ill from the effects of the inocula tion. "The state health authorities made a thorough investigation in to the matter and promptly re called all of the vaccine of the same lot as that use4 on the San dels. An analysis of said vaccine showed the presence of pus germs which the evidence showed should not have been in the pure vaccine. However, as I recall the evidence, not a single witness testified that pus germs could have caused the death of this child in the short time elapsing between the inocula tion and her death. Several ex perts were examined, most of them witnesses for the state, and they all testified that pure anti-typhoid vaccine was not dangerous to acf minister. Not one of them could give a satisfactory explanation of how the child came to its death. All of the evidence on the point showed that the administration of the vaccine brought about the death of the cild. This undoubted ly was the opinion of the jury and I think they were unquestionably correct. It, then, pure vaccine will not cause death, and if the vaccine administered to the child did cause her death, then of necessity there were' germs in the vaccine which should not have been there and the same was impure and dan gerous -to use en a human beipg. Ths verdict should stand, the m> tpa refused-" _a Sumter, S. C, Wednesday, June 22, 1921 I THE OLD HOME TOWN BY STANLEY POPPIES FROM , FLANDERS FIELDS Col. /. M.

June 21.-?A world wide search for the missing crew , of-the schooner Carroll A. Deer-: ing, of Bath. Maine, which piled up on the North Carolina beach i lao: January with all sails set, but ! not a living soul aboard has been j started by the state department through American consuls. The mystery in being investi- j gated by the department of justice and the department of commerce j as is also i:he unexplained disap-1 pearance of the American steel freighter Hewitt, out of Sabine Pass, Texas, for Boston. This craft disappeared at about the same time that the Deering came ashore. The summary of the history of the Deering case as sent :o consuls by the state department discloses that when the Deering passed Cape Lookout Lightship, X. C. on January 29, while bound from Rio De Janeiro for Norfolk, a man other than the master reported j that the vessel had lost both an- j chors and asked to be reported to ; its owners. Two days later the vessel was i found on the beach in which at! the stai e department described as "in such condition that there is every suspicion of foul play having occurred." The department's summary also says that a short time after the Deering passed the lightship, a steamer, the name of which has nor been ascertained, passed the light vessel and was asked to stop and take a message for forward ing, but no response was received to the "numerous attempts on the part of the master of the light ship to attract the vessel's atten tion. j The department's summary then says that on April 11. the follow i ing message was picked up in a j bottle near Cape Hatteias. "Deering captured by oil burn-1 I ing boat something like chaser, ! ; taking off eevrything. handcuffing j I crew. Crew hiding all over ship. ! j Xo chance iro make escape. Finder please notify headquarters of Deering." "The schooner carried a motor! I life boat and a dory ''the state de- j partment's summary continues.! '. "but neither of them has been ! picked up and no wreckage found, j ; Most of the provisions, clothing I and supplies of the vessel had i been removed." i Government agents investigat ing the Hewitt and Bering cases isaid they are baffled and that thus I far they had not found a single 'clue that might lead to a solution of the mysteries. Equally as baf I fling they say. are ;he cases of the j British steamer Albyn and the Russian bark Yute. which disap peared list fall off the North Caro lina coast. The Albyn sailed from Xorfolk 1 last October and never was heard from again, while the Yute when j off Cape Hatterast sent a radio '. message asking for aid. but when (steamers reached i:he position giv ! en in the message an hour later no trace of the vessel was found ; and it is said she has never been heard from since. Reports to the ' government are that the weather ? was perfectly calm. After the Hewitt disapppeared ,and the Deering came ashore with -out a crew, a British insurance ? company suggested that the two ! vessels probably had collided and land that the Deering's crew went I down with the Hewitt. An inves i tigation by coast guard ofticers. : however, convinced them that the I Deering was not damaged suffi j ciently to warrant a conclusion ' that she had been in a collision I with any other craft. Investigators here say that they I do not take seriously suggestions ? of Bolshevik raiders or deep sea ?pirates, but they add that? one guess is as good as another. They i are inclined to the opinion that J the two cases will zo down in his 3 tory with the "other unsolved f mysteries of the sea,'' the greatest I of which on record, they declare I is that of the American bark Ma ; rie Celeste, which was found off 'the Azores three months after she ; left Europe, in 1872, with all sails ; set, undamaged, in calm weather. J but with the crew missing. I A boarding party from the ship j wiiich sighted i;he bark found the I table set for dinner with hot cof I fee in the pot and everything I aboard the ship in the same condi ! tion it would have been had the I crew left only a few minutes be '?? fore. On a sewing machine was a ? waist which the captain's wife had ? been making, while toys used by 'r:he captain's son were on the i flor. In the fo'castle was a table with! playing cards distributed 'around as though members of the ; crew had leisurely left a game of ! cards. Besides the captain, his wife sand son there were ten men in the ship's crew. The vessel was towed to port and again put in service, but about: six years later i she disappeared completely with her crew and no word has ever I come from her. Another mystery of the sea i pointed to is that of the American : frigate Wasp, which, after de i Ceating a British frigate in the : war of IS 12. sailed away from ?:ue scene of battle, never to be heard ; from again.

Henders^ Off Cape Charles, VaV, JuneyZlT A direct hit with a lS^pound aerial bomb, dropped from an. F5L type seaplane, sent the" former German submarine U-117 to the botom of the Atlantic today and abruptly terminated the first -of a series of experiments by the army and navy to test the ability of naval vessels to withstand dam age inflicted from the air. The one-time German commerce raid er and submarine mine-planter was bound for Davy Jones' locker jua; sixteen minutes after -the nrsi salvo of bombs was* launched. The bomb that settled the fate of the U-117 was one of a salvo of nine dropped from three planes that constitued the first and ouiy aerial division to engage* in the actual attack. A few minuses be fore the fatal salvo was fired the same division had dropped three' bombs to get the range. The pro jectiles were hurled from a height of about 1.100 feet, wfrile the. planes were making mpre than 100 miles an hour. It ras only six minutes after i he second salvo was launched that the U.-717 made its last '"crash dive" to S^-Sf ing place fifty fathoms deep. \ The sinking of the U-117 in so short a time came as a surprise tpf most of the army and naval offe ceis who .witnessed tlte experf menr., many of whom had b frankly skeptical; regarding ? ? ability of the planes to even the submarine, regardless of J fact that all the conditions fav ed the attacking force, and no fort was made to stimulate actual war conditions. The U-11.7 was securely anchored and the bomb ing planes were furnished with, charts showing'the exact position! of the target, but few expeeted that a fatal injury would be in flicted on the U-bcat so quickly. The plans for the test called for participation by twenty-four naval and marine planes and a la ter attack by twenty-three army machines if the naval craft failed to sink the submarine.
