PAGE SIX SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1937. THE GREENVILLE NEWS, GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA Death Avenged BRICE MATHEWS SMDAK GDNVICTED FULMER PRAISES Off The Record By Ed Reed POISONING CHILD a. 7EO "Stop saying 'Woe is me or I Ki li JUSTICES GIVEN RIGHT TO RETIRE AT AGE 70 YEARS Continued from Page One.) and others prominent on both sides of the great dispute have expressed the same viewpoint, some even more forcibly. x. When the bill passed the House recently, Rep.

Cellar N. an opponent of the general White House program who has shown a disposition to compromise, asserted "if the justices do not avail themselves of this retirement privilege, the issue will be cast back at us," he added: Of course their dignity may be deemed considerably ruffled. Self respect may also prompt them to refuse to retire. Perhaps a six month lapse of the time might bring calmer judgment and resignations." As the bill would operate, Chief Justice Hughes, now 74, and Associate Justices Brandels, 80, Van DeVanter, 77, McReynolds, 75, Sutherland, 74, and Butler, 70, would have the privilege of retiring at once. This privilege has been extended to judges of the lower federal courts since 1919.

They "retire" instead ot "resigning." Thus they retain a technical connection with the courts and have suffered no reduction of retirement salary, because the Constitution forbids any reductions in the remuneration of a federal judge. CASE OF HOLMES The Supreme court on the other hand was not Included in the act of 1919. Its members could resign and trust to congressional action for their pensions. The late Oliver Wendell Holmes had his annual stipend of $20,000 a year clipped to $10,000 by the economy act of 1933, and subsequently the remaining $10,000 was cut by 15 per cent through a ruling of Comptroller General Me-Carl. In addition, his pension was subject to income taxes.

Although the bill passed today was not included in the President's specific recommendations, it inevitably caused pointed references to the greater program. Senate discussion had hardly begun when Johnson was on his feet. "Is it the purpose of this bill to afford the opportunity to members of the Supreme court to retire?" he asked. "It is. That is the purpose of It," McCarran answered.

"At this particular time?" "At any time." Johnson paused for a moment, and waving a forefinger at McCarran, thundered: "I will say to the senator from Nevada that a Supreme court justice who would retire at this particular time would not be the sort of individual for whom I would have the greatest respect." Senator Robinson of Arkansas, democratic leader, entered the discussion: "The statement of the senator from California is an interesting one and a very peculiar one. Justices of the Supreme court have never had the right of retirement. The senator from California makes the amazing declaration that if the DEATHS AND FUNERALS Wilmington Man, Accused Triple Poison-Slayer, To Die April 23 WILMINGTON, N. Feb. 2.

UP) A Jury convicted Edgar Leroy Smoak, accused triple poison slayer, of first degree murder tonight and Judge J. H. Clement sentenced the tall, stooped carpenter's helper to die April 23 in the gas chamber. The 39-year old defendant, who had kept a stoical calm during his five day trial on an Indictment charging him with the murder of his young daughter, Annie Thelma, appeared to be stunned by the verdict. Standing with his right arm raised, and facing the jury box, Smoak's eyes dropped as the verdict was read, and he kept his gaze glued on the floor until a few minutes later he was led from the courtroom back to his cell.

His lips were set In a hard line. Smoak, tried only for the death of his 16-year old daughter, is also charged with administering lethal doses of a swift-acting poison to his two wives, who died 14-years apart. The state charged Smoak killed all three to collect small Insurance policies he carried on their lives and that his love for his 26-year old housekeeper, Mrs. Genette Harker, was a motive in his daughter's murder. Judge Clement denied a motion by L.

Clayton Grant, chief of defense counsel, to set aside the verdict, and Grant then gave notice of an appeal to the state supreme court. Judge Clement granted 45 days for perfection of the appeal. The Jury received the verdict at 5:45 p. and the verdict was announced in the packed courtroom at 9:10 p. m.

Sheriff C. David Jones said the jury took more than an hour off for supper. UNDERGOING TREATMENT WOODRUFF, Feb. 26.

"I think we should go to the extent of passing a 48-hour law," Anderson said, "but we can't escape the fact that our mills must compete with mills of other states." An amendment by Chadwick of Saluda, to include cotton shirt factories employing 25 or more, was adopted.

Rep. Greer of Greenville, who described himself as the only representative whose sole occupation was in a textile mill, brought correspondence between himself and the White House into the fray. "You may rest assured that the federal government will welcome any progress made by the states In the direction of shorter hours and in the development of its own program and will strive to coordinate enforcement with that of the states," Greer read from a letter signed by M. H. Mclntyre, secretary to President Roosevelt.

Brunt of the unsuccessful fight against the measure fell to Reps. Bailey of Cherokee, a former textile worker, and Moorer of Colleton. Bailey termed it discriminatory because "I might want to work 10 hours a day." "Isn't this bill sponsored by the labor unions and strikers in the state?" MOOTER QUESTIONS EFFECT Moorer said he thoueht "anv man would be a fool to come into South Carolina and build a cotton mill when he can go into North Carolina and work 60 hours a week." The bill will come up for a usually perfunctory third reading when the house meets for the general assembly's eighth week on Tuesday and will then go to the senate for consideration of that body. ine senate concluded its week with a five-minute session devoted to local and uncontested matters.

C. Man Allowed To Be Bitten By Mosquito In Yellow Fever Test BURIED IN ARLINGTON WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. Representative Hampton Pulmer, of Orangeburg, had printed in the Congressional record a tribute to the South Carolinian, Charles O. Sonn-tag.

who risked his life in aiding medical science to wipe out yellow lever. Fulmer's tribute to Sonntag, who recently died, tells the story which surrounded the heroic act of this man: FULMER'S TRIBUTE "Mr. Speaker, under leave to extend my remarks in the record, I want to call to the attention of the members of the House and the country the recent death of one of the rearheroes of America a man who risked his life in the quiet of a Cuban camp during the Spanish-American war that the world might be set free from yellow fever. "I refer to Charles G. Sonntag, a member of that brave band of men who volunteered, under the leadership of Dr.

Walter Reed, to submit themselves to the bite of infectious mosquitoes to find the one that bore the yellow-fever germ. As you remember, some of his comrades did not survive the test, but Mr. Sonntag, though he became severely ill with the dread disease, finally recovered and lived to see his government award to him a special medal commemorative of his services beyond the call of actual duty. "Sixty-four at the time of his death, Mr. Sonntag was in his twenties when he and others of the Reed group underwent their ordeal.

Without the blare of trumpets, without the roar of cannon, and without the urge of self-preservation, he quietly went into a screened tent and waited for the mosquitoes to bite, knowing that it meant almost certain death. In other words, he was willing to die that others might live; and thousands and thousands have benefited through the conquering of yellow fever made possible by the noble experiment which Mr. Sonntag survived. "Unassuming, Mr. Sonntag went through life in J.he same quiet way in which he had calmly made the test in Cuba.

He was a member of the medical corps of the army when he had volunteered after the Spanish-American war for the yellow fever research experiment. FARMED IN S. C. "For years Mr. Sonntag had farmed in what is known as the Sandy-Run section, Calhoun county, South Carolina.

He will be buried in with full military honjra. Sonntag was my friend and I am the memory of him in the following poem entitled; WORTH "When you think of a man you seldom think Of the knowledge he has of books; You seldom think of the clothes ne wears, His habits, or ways, or looks. You seldom think of the car he drives. Nor the bonds his gold has bought; When you think of a man you mostly think Of some heroic deed he has wrought. You judge him not by his blocks of stocks, Nor his power of name or pen; You judge a man by the place he's made In the hearts of his fellow countrymen.

You think of the friend he's been to man, And the good deeds that he has done, And you judge the sort of a man he is By the friends that he has won." Miss Drucker Is Honoree At Dinner Mccormick.
