FORTY-EIGHT TO FACE
rs CHARGE OF MURDEI
10- Marion, 111., Oct. 28.?The specia
of grand jury, which to-day resumed it
rel investigation of the Herrin mine kill
ior ings after a month's recess, late thi
.he afternoon returned an indictmeut to
he murder, naming 48 persons *nd an
ly. nounced it had completed its worl
ot This makes 414 persons the gran
ist jury has indicted in connection witl
the rioting in which 23 men wer
killed.
Circuit Judge Hartwell, befor
^ whom the indictments were returned
expressed the opinion that the tru
of bill is illegal because It was returne<
of at the September term of court by i
it- grand jury impanelled by the Jul;
ng term of court. State's Attorney D<
it- Los Duty expressed an opposite opin
a ion and stated that he would sppea
It- to the State Supreme Court if the in
0- dictments were declared illegal.
on Those indicted to-day were charge*
tic with the death of Ignace Kubinis, th<
is. last victim of the rioting to expire
ly who died since the grand jury took j
temporary adjournment 30 days ago
Only a few witnessesvyrere heard to
day and they are said to have tol<
of wounds inflicted on Kubinis, whicl
a are said to have resulted in his death
>y In the total of 434 indictments, 71
v- individual persons are named, som*
A of the men having as high as nine in<
Jl- dictments charging murder,* rioting
in and assault facing them. Twenty
n- one of the individuals are chargec
ve only with rioting and assault, leaving
n- 56 indicted for murder. Of the tota!
number of indictments 215 arc foi
e- murder, 103 for assault and 116 foi
a rioting.
w The legality of the final 48 indict
er merits returned to-day may not b?
ie decided until next year, it was stated
id to-night, because it was said there
probably would not be an opportunity
>n to test the jury's proceedings until
1- the indictments voted to-day are callV
ed for trial, which is not expected bee
fore 1923.
c- All except a half dozen of thees*
dieted men either have been arrested
_ or surrendered voluntarily. The missing
men are said to be unidentified
>r or have fled the country. Bond has
i- been accepted for all but eight of the
h. men who are charged with the more
ie serious offenses and are lodged in
d, jail.
The first trial in connection with
s. the riots is scheduled to begin in
- November.

Tentative plans for an attempted &i
fight of army airplanes around the
world have been under consideration n,
for some time by air officials, it was w
announced recently at Washington,
but the project has not as yet passed p
the preliminary stage. Valuable data
on available routes in beth directions
have been obtained, however, and ultimately
it is hoped to send a con- 0
siderable aerial squadron on the voy
age. The project will not be laid before
Secretary Weeks for approval, it 3I
was said, until it takes much more p
definite form. jj
Two of the routes considered are q
that from the Atlantic coast via Ice- 0
land and Ireland and that from the
Pacific via Alaska, the Aleutian Islands,
Siberia and home via Ireland
and Iceland. Air service officials said w
the route offering the most favorable
conditions as to prevailing winds t(
' would be selected should the fight be w
ordered, and it would then become jT
' necessary to obtain permission of aach s,
of the countries to be traversed be- u
fore the squadron could start. s|

POULTRY MEN HOLD BIG '
N ANNUAL MEET IN COLUMBIA
in What is described as an unusually
>r interesting event of Fair Week in Coil
lumbia was the annual banquet and
meeting of the South Carolina Poultry
Breeders' Association, held Tuesady
night at the Jefferson Hotel, ai
Le which time Mr. Ben E. Adams, ol
e_ Charleston, was-unanimously re-elecip
ted president of the association.
je The banquet was served to mor?
than twice as many members and
their guests as last year's meeting
ty and was a success from the beginning
in to the end.
^ President Adams acted as toast1_
master and introduced the speaker:
of the occasion, the first of whom was
e Governor-elect Thomas G. McLeod,
e_ who made a forceful speech, soundjp
ing a note of optimism and enthusing
asm throughout. He said that this
n State had a great many advantage:
n and that a number nf tw.nrnHncti
w, ? r
t_ were being wasted. He stressed the
at fact that the gathering was composed
ie of men and women from every walk
1(j in life, all taking an interest in poultry
work, and said that if this State
ever wished to attain any degree of
prosperity it would be by its people
^ taking an interest in other than their
U one walk in life. "We are wonderfully
blest with soil and climate, but
our greatest assets are not fruitful
lands but a type of American citizenship
with all the best traditions of the
t- country."
a He said that co-operation was the
key to success in every enterprise,
which factor had been lacking here
^ before. "You raisfe chickens," Mr.
s McLeod said, "and yet you bring into
this State chickens from other
^ States." He urged the development
y of the home market.

CO-OPERATIVE CONRACT
SOUND, SAYS COURT
Columbia, Oct. 21.?Sweeping vie.
tories for co-operative marketing
I were won in the counts of North Caro
lina, Texas and Oklahoma during the
past week, according to statements is
sued yesterday by the South Carof
lina Cotton Growers' Co-Operative
Association. In Texas and Oklahoma
the cotton contracts, which are prac
tically identical with the contract
i signed by members of the South Carolina
Association, were upheld by the
: courts and permanent injunctions
granted restraining members of
those associations from disposing of
\ their cotton except through the Asi
sociation. Temporary injuctions had
, been secured against six members in
Texas and against several in Okla
homa some time back.
i In North Carolina a desperate efi
fort was made by enemies of the Trii
State Tobacco Association to have
! dissolved an injunction, which had
I been issued against two members of
; the Association. Several of the
ablest lawyers in the State were em.i
ployed in the effort to have the con;
tract declared unconstitutional, but
t the court in its decision made the in
junction permanent, declaring the
contract sound.
; The Raleigh News and Observer in
[ expressing gratification editorially at
the outcome of the case in North
i Carolina, said: "If co-operative marketing
succeeds the day of glutting the
market and depressing the price has
gone. If it fails, what then? In that
case the farmers must revert to the
old position where they get whatever
is offered them. They will have no
voice in that. One year they will
get twenty cents a pound for their
cotton, and the next year six, and
usually they will be the victims of
wild fluctuations."
