TAKE UP CASE Grar. Jary Considers Charge Against Thos. B. Felder, of Atlanta BRIBERY IS CHARGED Accused of Trying to Corrupt H. H. Evans, While He Was Chairman of the Old State Dispensary Board of Control by Offering Him a Bribe to Purchase Liquor. In ti.e Court of General Sessions at Newberry on last Monday morn ing a bill of indictment was handed to the grand jury, charging Thomas B. Felder, of Atlanta, with attempt ing to bribe H. H. Evans in 1905, while Evans was chairman of the board of directors of the State dis pensary. At that time Evans was on the board with John Bell Towill, of Batesbifrg, and L. W. Boykin, of Camden. Evans, Towill and Boykin were sworn as witnesses before the grand jury. Governor Blease was in Court at the time the indictment was hand ed out by Solicitor Cooper. The in dictment follows a warrant sworn out some months ago by B. Frank Kelley, then secretary of the dispen sary winding-up commission. This warrant was placed In the hands of Sheriff Buford of Newber ry county, who went to Atlanta for Felder, but was powerless to arrest him, because Governor Brown, of Georgia, refused to honor the requi sition issued by Governor Blease of South Carolina. The indictment comes after an in vestigation by the winding-up com mission. Judge Gage charged the grand jury that they should find a true bill if the testimony before them satisfied them beyond a reasonable doubt; If not, to find a "no bill." In addition to the former members of this dispensary board sent before the grand jury, it is understood that several letters purporting to have been written by Felder to Evans and other were submitted to the jury. The bill of indictment is drawn under Section 261 of the Criminal Code and contains three counts, In effect, it charges that Felder, on or about October 2nd, 1905, offered H. H. Evans, of Newberry, then chair man of the State dispensary board, a large amount of stock in a company organized by Felder, to influence Evan's vote to secure orders for li quors from the company organized. The first count charges that on the date named Felder offered Evans $50,000 of the capital stock of this company organized under the laws of one of the States of the United States. said State being to the jurors known. The second count charges Felder with offering Evans $250,000 of the preferred stock of this company and the third, count charges the offer by Felder to Evans of the $250,000 in lawful money of the United States. being practically a repetition of the second count in a different form. The famous "T. P."~ letter, address ed "Dear Hub,'' which was some time ago given to the press by Governor Blease, as a letter written by Fel der to Evans. bears date Atlanta, October 2, 1905, and the Indictment appears to be grounded upon the mat ters set out in this letter. When Court reconvened after the dinner recess~'Judge Gage suggested to the grand jury that if all the wit nesses had testified before them in the Felder case, since this case could not be tried at this ter-m of Court, and as the Court was waiting upon the findings of the grand jury on other bills handed them, that they postpone consideration of the Felder case until they had disposed of other indictments, in order that the Court might be kept busy.

DIVE KEEPERS WILL 1 ONCE NOTORIOUS WOMAN GAVE BIG SUM TO CHARITY. Six Months Ago She Gave Her Former Resort to City for an Emergency Hospital. Miss Anna Wilson's gift of practi cally $500,000 to charity, the ac cumulation of 40 year's profits from the most notorious dive Omaha, Neb., has ever known, has brought out more reminiscenses and caused more talk than any single event in the Mid dle West in years. Miss Wilson was sixty years of age when she died a few days ago, and in her will she makes no individual gifts, except of a trust fund, but leaves all that she had. saved to the city as her greatest possible resti tution. It is the second largest gift to charity ever made by an Omaha resident. Six months ago Miss Wil son closed her dive and presented the building, with $75,000, to the city as an emergency hospital. Anna Wilson went to Omaha when it was a frontier town several years before the Union Pacific railroad was completed in 1867. Her f rst ap pearance was on a music hall stage. She was brigbt and pretty. Also she was well educated. Just who she really was has always been a mys tery. She freely acknowledged that "Anna Wilson" was not her true name, but her real identity has never been revealed. The young girl remained on the stage only a short time. When the music hall went to the wall she was without an engagement. In the emer gency she took up with a noted "square" gambler, Dan Allen, and be came his common law wife. This relation she sustained for 20 years until Allen died. Allen is said 'to have furnished the money with which Miss Wilson opened the most notori ous dive in the city. In the 40 years of its existence, however, there were few arrests made there. When Allen died he left a $10,000 policy, made in favor of Miss Wilson. She notifled his brothers that at her death the money would be handed over to them. Some years ago one of them asked Miss Wilson for a portion of the money and was given $1,000. In her will $9,000 is left to Dan Allen's brothers. Six years ago Miss Wilson leased her home, purchased a $15,000 resi Ience in Krountze place, an exclusive residential district, and went to live in her new home. With her, she brought one of the best Shakespear ian libraries in the West. Among her books is an illustrated Bible, which cost many thousands of dollars, and which Miss Wilson is said to have been fond of reading and studying. Her library ran Into thous an-ds of volumes, and pictures and works of art fairly filled her home. Her flower garden and home were the wonder of the town. DRINK TOO MU'CH LIQUOR. Remarkable Statement Made by the Commision. Royal E. Cabell, United States Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has made some remarkable state ments in his annual report showing that the internal revenue receipts last year were the best in the history of the Government, amounting to $322,526,299. Another very remark able statement of Mr. Cabell is that last year the production of distilled spirits in the United States was 175, 402,395 gallons, or nearly 7,000,000 gallons more than in 1907, the prev ious banner year. The production of beer, ale, etc., aggregated 63,21 6,851 barrels, or nearly 4,000,000 barrels, more than in the previous banner year, 1910. There are now in the bonded ware houses of the United States, ripen ing for use, 249,279,346 gallons of in toxicating liquors. Still another very remarkable statement in Mr. Cabell's report is that there has been a very large increase in the illicit manufad ture- of liquor in North Carolina, ISouth Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia. The first four of these States are supposed to be prohibition and in Virginia the stuff is sold only in in corporated cities and towns and then only in towns in which the question of the sale of the stuff has been sub nitted to the qualified voters.

A flock of ducks, their feet frozen :o the ground, was found in a field near Williams, Ind., during the re cent blizzard. It is believed the ducks had alighted in the field to spend the night and that the sudden change in temperature caused the wet ground to freeze holding them prisoners. Many of the birds 'were caught by farmers in the vicinity, who cut them loose from the ground with axes. Fatal Fight in Church. F. M.

STARTLING STATEMENT Says Roosevelt Made a Corrupt Bar gain With the Railroads and Big Business for Their Support in His Race for President of the United States. Wharton Barker, a retired banker, of Philadelphia, sprang a sensation on the State committee on Inter State commerce Tuesday, when he alleged that a New York financier told him in 1904 that the financial interests would support Theodore Roosevelt for President, because Roosevelt had "made a bargain with them on the railroad question." Mr. Barker's statement came in the midst of a vigorous attack on the "Money Trust," in which he alleges also that President Roosevelt had been given the details of the impend ing panic of 1907 several months be fore it happened, but took no action to prevent it. Mr. Barker also declared that the Aldrich currency plan was the handi work. not of former Senator Aldrich, but of Mr. Warbur, of the banking :rm of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., of New York, and that a fund of P100,000 had been started to secure its adop tion. "Three or four weeks before the election in 1904," said Mr. Barker, "1 was walking down Broadway when I met one of the most distinguished money kings in New York, a man now dead. He said t. me: 'We are going to elect Roosevelt.' I expressed sur prise and asked if he had given up the support of Parker. He said yes, tha.t they had frigh~1tened Roosevelt so he had made a bargain with them. "He is to holler all he wants to,.' he told me, 'but by and by a railroad bill will be brought in by recommen dation of the President, cutting off rebates and free passes, which suits us who own the railroads, perlitting the railroads to make pooling ar rangements and providing for maxi mum rates.'" The railroad man added., said Mr. Barker, that under the latter autheri ty it would be possible to add from $300,000,000 to $400,000,000 to the total freight charges paid by the American public. "I told h:m I did not 'belive Roosevelt had made any such agree ment," said Mr. Barker, "but when the annual message of 1905 went to Congress he recommended most of those things. I wrote to President Roosevelt and told him what I had heard, and that I had thought the man lied, .but now I must believe he had not. It was the only letter of mine air. Roosevelt ever failed to answer." Members of the committee asked Mr. Barker to give the name of the financial man who had told laim that Roosevelt was to be elected. "I cannot do it," said Mr. Barker, "but subsequently somebody was al leged to have stolen some corre spondence between Mr. Harriman and the President, telling of $250,000 put up for election expenses in the city of New York." Referring to the panic of I507, Mr. Barker said a man who was present at a conference at J. P. Morgan's house in May, came to him in Phila delphia and wanted him to use his influence with President Roosevelt to stop a plan that had been mapped out, he alleged, by the financial lead ers. This man was a captain in the Roug~h Riders, he sai-d, and had used his own influence with the President, but without avail. "The plan," said Mr. Barker, "con templated the curtailment of loans, the Withdrawal of credits, the putting away of money by those interested where they could get it when they needed it to stop the panic, and the enforcement of the various State laws regarding the holding of cash re serves by the banks and trust com panies." Mr. Barker said that in October, when the financial upheaval reached its crisis, he urged President Roose velt to distribute the $145,000,000 of cash in the treasury among the banks Chicago, Philadelphia, Bos ton and other large cities. "He wante:l to do it,"~he said, "but he called in Mr. Knox, Mr. Cortelyo'i and Mr. Root, and instead of deposit ing In the outside cities, he plunged the whole amount into Wall Street. It broke the counry, but it saved the g::mblers." The Philadelphia man, whose bank ing house at one time was fiscal agent for the Russian Governmeret, declared that those who backed the Aldrich monetary plan had been a "propa ganda" in which it was proposed to spend $1,000,000 to secure the en dorsement of the proposed currency legislation. "Yesterday a banker in Philadel phia started to collect that city's share of the money, $100,000" he said. He declared that the great "money oligarchy" of Xew York controlled all thPe lines of finance, industry and transportation, and that no legisla tion designed to break up the trusts woulM strike at the root of the trou 'ble. "Few people appreciate bow, by' control of the money of trust comnpa nies, savings banks and State banks this trust throttles individual enter prise." he said. Hie urged a law that would comp~el national banks to hold their legal reserve in cash instead of having the power to redeposit part of i-: in the banks of New. York. "Nothing but these immense re serves. varytng fromt $250.000I,000 to $350.000.000, n'akes New York the money power it is."~ said Mr. Barker. Kills His Wife and Self.

Daily Thought. If what you hrve done yesterday seems big to y, today, you have LOSS HEAVY BY FIRE ABOUT TWO HUNDRED AND SIX. TY MTLLION YEARLY. Carelessness Is the Chief Cause, and People Should Be Taught How to Prevent Fires. Present indications are that the fire losses in the United States and Can ada for 1911 will exceed $260,000, 000. The figures for the first seven months of the year show a total of $154,992,900, as compared with $126,076,800 -d.uring the same period last year. The losses for 1910 were $234, 406,650, and if the present ratio of increase continue throughout the year, the 1911 losses may approach $300,000,000. This will exceed any year in the history of the country, ex cept those of the San Francisco and Baltimore conflagrations. Government officials, underwriters and firemen agree that the majority of these fires are due to carelessness and are easily preventable. All of the recent fires, which have attracted public attention because of the heavy loss of life with which they were ac crnpanied, were due to the careless ness and indifference of the owners, occupants, or municipal authorities. New York has been spending $10, 000,000 a year for fire extinguish ment and only $10,000 for fire pre vention. The recent shirt waist fac tory fire aroused the public and the authorities, and fire prevention is to be made much more prominent here after. The most Important consideration is the development of a sense of per sonal responsibility on the part of property owners for the excessive fire waste, which is daining the resources of the country and weakening its insurance capital. A score of fire insurance companies have retired from the field already this year, be cause of the heavy losses last year and the unfavorable outlook. Disasters like the recent factory fire at Newark, N. J., in which 20 girls were killed and 50 seriously in jured, are chiefly due to carelessness. In this case both municipality and owner are responsible. The city had not seen to the proper fire escapes and exits, although the owners had been frequently warned by the haz ards by the insurance men. The public should be brought to realize the excessive danger involved in the handling of gasoline and the fact that the greatest care Is re quired at all times. Its increasing domestic use renders more important the education of the public in this regard, as there are hundreds of dis tressing fatalities each year in the smaller cities and towns which never get headlines in the papers, because only one or two persons were burned to death. MIOB LISTENS TO REASON. Delivers to Sheriff Laurens Be) Charged With Serious Cfrense. The prompt action, Wednesday night, of Sheriff Ow'ngs, Deputy Reid and Rural Policeman Sullivan, and the cool conduct of the officers after arriving upon the grounds, probably saved Robert Moody, a 16-year-old negro boy from the hands of an angry crow~d of citizens bent on meeting out ot the negro summary vengeance for his alleged conduct towards twc girls of Laurens. The trouble occur red in the vicinity of Watts Cotton Mills, near the city, and after an ap~ peal to the crowd to let the law take its course, Moody was delivered te the officers and by them lodged in jail. It seems that Moody late Tuesday afternoon accosted the young girls as they were returning home in a buggy from the mill, where the older of the tw'o is employed. Springing from hiding on the roadside the ne gro, so the story goes, seized the mule by the reins and bringing the team to a stop, sprang to the side of the buggy and demanded with oaths that the young ladies get out. With out waiting, it is said, the boy then riade an effort to force them to alig-t, when the ssreams of both frightened him away. Driving hurriedly to their home, the girls reported the matter. Quickly, the news of the alleged at tempt of the ngero spread and soon a cdowd collected for the purpose of running down the offender. Suspi cion pointed to Moody and he was found at home and promptly taken in hand by the members of the man hunting crowd. The negro was tak en before the girls and positively identified as their would-be assailant. Moody denied anything, but it is said that there is strong proof that he is the right man. No other trouble is expected, and the law will take its course. CONDITIONS ARE APPALLING. People in Asiatic Russia Suffer Fromi Faninue.

The serious attention of the public has again been called to the popula ion question in France, by the pub lication of official statistics. These cover the first six months in 1911 and show an excess of death over births of 1S,279. The figures are all the more discouraging from the fact that for the same period in 1910 the births exceeded the death by 21,1S4. I I I Traps Station Robbers.
