BROWN REFUSES REQjUIS1TI0N. 1 " Request i rom Governor BlcAso Held invalid by Georgia Executive. (Atlanta Journal, 22d.) Governor Brown rofused tho Fel der regulation at 1.46 o'clock Thurs day afternoon, Immediately at the conclusion of tho homing. In stating his refusal the Governor said that ho had roferrod the pa pers soon after he received them from Governor Blease, of South Car olina, to Attorney General H. A. Hall, of Georgia, and that the attorney general discovered practically tho same defects tn them as wore polntod out by tho opposition Thursday. At ll o'olock Thursday morning Governor Brown began his hearing ot the pros and con's upon the requisi tion fro m <tho Governor of South Car olina for tho custody of Thomas B. Felder, momber of the Atlanta law Arm of Anderson, Felder, Rountree & Wilson. The charge against Mr. Felder, as stated in the requisition, is that in 1904 be attempted to bribe Hub H. Evans, a momber of tho board of control ot the South Carolina dis pensary* commission, and In so doing conspired to cheat and defraud tho Stabe ' f South Carolina. Felder ?? answer was a flat denial of the charge, and the offering of a counter charge that Governor Cole L. Blease is actuated by malice and spite. Tho defense was further that a South Carolina grand jury has been ia sossTbn In Newberry county since the requisition was granted, refused to indict Mr. Felder for the offense charged, and that the requisi tion ls based solely upon an unsup ported warrant. Some weeks ago Governor Blease announced that ho would honor no moro requisitions from Governor Brown, of Georgia, as they worn be ing made simply to enforce the pay ment of debts. Thc hearing hogan by S. R. Atkin son, ono of the attorneys represent ing Mr. Felder, introducing A. King, who presented objections to ^the re quisition papers against Mr. Felder, Mr. Ring's Objection. "Among the prime requisites to the removal of a man to another State for trial," he said, "is an affi davit setting forth tho offense alleg ed against him. This is necessary for the Executive authorizing the requi sition to know that the charge that has been made ls based on a certain, u netj ni vocal allegation. "The warrant that has been issued again.st Mr. Felder ls merely vague. It recites that a Mr. Kelley, on in formation or belief, charges that Mr. Felder was guilty of bribery. iNo In dication is given of the source of this information or belief. The date of the offense ls indefinitely given as some time lu October, in 1904. Tho amount of the bribe ls not Indicated and the parp?se of the alleged bribe ls almost as Indefinito. It is stated merely that fhls supposed bribe was to induce H. H. Evans to vote or pass judgment or take other action the warrant never says what. "The entire charge is based mere ly on conclusions." He read several decisions to sus tain his contention to show that tho charges against Mr. Felder are in sufficient to warrant Mr. Felder's be ing removed to South Carolina for trial. Holman Employed by Blen.se. Mr. Holman stated that he was employed by Governor Blease to rep resent South Carolina, but that ho didn't know who caused the charges against Mr. Felder. The seal of the State of South Carolina, he maintained, was suffi cient to establish the authenticity of the requisition papers, and, in face of this seal, the contentions that the requisition papers wore not properly attested were not justified. He In sisted that sufficient affidavits were contained in the papers. Several times he declared that, as far as he was concerned, there was no personal feeling in tho case. In reply to a question from Mr. Atkinson, he answered that since a warrant was sworn out at Nowberry, the county grand jury has met there and adjourned without indicting Mr. Felder. Mr. Atkinson was followed by George Johnstone, of Nowberry, who also spoke in Mr. Folder's favor. Messrs. King Brewster, Peoples, Atkinson and Bryan appeared as a committee appointed by the Atlanta Har Association to represent Mr. Fel der. The State of South Carolina was represented by W A. Holman, of Charleston, who W.?.J appointed spe cial representative hy Governor Olease, and hy M. M. Buford, sheriff of Newberry county, South Carolina. Will Offer Reward for Felder. Columbia, Juno 22.-Governor Blease said to-night that ho will at onco offer a reward for tho arrest of Tho B. Felder, tho Atlanta lawyer, whom Governor Brown, of Georgia, to-day rofused to turn over to tho South Carolina authorities to an swer to tho charges of conspiracy to defraud this State and offering a LETHE OFFERED TO CLEMSON. Trustees Otter Property In Exchange for Eight Scholarships. Abbeville-, Juno 23.-The trustees of tho Lethe School, Albert Gilbert, J. D. Holloway, W. B. Uldrlck and John U. Wardlaw and R. E. Cox, treasurer, accompanied by Hons. Mooro Mars and Frank B. Gary, went to Clemson on the 13th Instant, and appoarod before tho board of trustees of that institution and made a propo sition to turn over all the property and money now belonging to the Lethe School to Clemson College to bo used as a fitting school to Clem son In exchange for eight scholar ships at Clemson College and olgbt at Winthrop. It ls recognized by the board of trustees that the good that the founder, John De La Howe, In tended tho institution should accom plish ls not being realized, and after much consideration of the matter they haye decided that the boys and girls of Abbeville county would re ceive much moro benefit from the scholarships at Clemson and Win throp than from the institution as it now stands. This is no fault of the trustees either, as they devote much tim? and work to looking after its affairs, but considerable trouble ls very often encountered in getting the required number 'of orphans for the institution, and quite frequently they have had to go into Greenwood and Anderosn county in order to get pu pils for the school. Mr. De La Howe's idea was that the institution was to be for the benefit ot the poor boys and girls of the county, and if lt can be made to be nmro useful to them than it now is there should be no objection entered against tho proposition. It is proposed that if Clemson should accept the proposi tion that tho section of the pupils for tho scholarship at Clemson and Win throp shall bo left to a board of Abbeville county people and they should carry out tho intention of the founder as far as possible Iq that preference would be given to deserv ing orphans. When the institution was founded lt accomplished a great deal of good because there were no free schools In the country, and even few pay schools, hut to-day with free schools everywhere lt Is h. rd to find pupils for the Lethe School. Tho proposition will have to be first accepted by the board of trus tees of Clemson and then the matter will bo put in the hands of the legis lature. A few of tho Clemson trus tees appeared to be in favor of ac cepting tile offer, but it is not known what their final action will he. It is known that there ls some opposition to lt. The property of tho Lethe School, consisting of about 2,000 acres of land, numerous brick buildings and considerable cash, ls worth close to $100,000. A com mittee from the board of trustees of Clemson was appointed to look Into the matter and confer with a similar committee from the trustees of the Lethe School. bribe. If Col. Felder ls not arrested under tho offer of reward, later on Governor Blease will issue another requistlon for him. This ls taken to mean when another Governor pre sides over the affairs of Georgia. "I am not surprised," said Gov ernor Blease. "In fact, lt is what I expected-a political and personal prejudiced decla.on, You remember my criticism of 'Little .Too' and his secretary about tho Langdon Chcves lie, and the fact that tho people of Georgia had repudiated 'Little Joe' by defeating him. This ls tho first chance that he has had to attempt to oven up. "As for the papers riot being right, ho has already honored requisitions from my office made out exactly like this ono, and made, as this one, strictly according to law. In fact, this one was stronger than the oth ers, because a separate affidavit was attached. In conformity with the law. "Possibly 'Little .Too' thought, or wns promised, that hy his refusing, the Felder crowd would help elect him Governor If Governor Smith is elected Senator, and possibly they will, for Felder can thereby spend some of thc thousands of South Car olina money that he received by his contract with Lyon. "I shall offer a re wt? rd for Felder al once, and If this falls lo get him I shall later Issue another requisi tion for him. He has got to como If the law can get him, and there is a sheriff behind him vito boasts that ho nevor fails to get his man." $200 Reward for Felder. Columbia, Juno 23.-Governor Bleaso this afternoon offered $200 reward for tho arrest of Thos. B. Felder, and delivery of him to She riff Buford, of Newberry county, any where |n South Carolina. This fol lows the refusal of Governor Brown, of Georgia, yesterday to honor Gov ernor Blenso's requisition for Feldor, who ls wanted at Newberry for al leged conspiracy to dofraud tho Stato in connection with the old Stato dis pensary. Gl.OBOE V AND M AH Y CKOWNED. Coronation Solemn mid Iiuposillg Vnst Throngs Shouted Praise. London, Juno 22.-King George V, eighth of the House of Hanovor, waa to-day consecrated to tho service of tho British Empire and in turn re ceived' public homage of his world wide subjects. With his consort, Queen Mary, his majesty was crown ed in the Abbey of Westminster with all tho we?,Uh of religious rites and royal ceremonial prescribed by his toric custom. The picture within gray walled fabric was one of med iaeval splondor. The coronation services, solemn and Imposing, were those handed down from parlier centuries, and the actors in the principal and second ary roles of t?-day's groat function were garbed in reproductions of multi-colored, gold-embroidered trap pings worn by their ancestors in bygone generations. The latter made up a wonderfully effective set ting around tho central figures. Outside the usually dull streets had been transformed Into a mass ot color. 'The King and Queen's pro gress, to the Abbey and return to Buckingham Palace was one unbro ken ovation. The route was hedged with a vast polyglot host, with a background cf beautifully decorated viewing stands! ahd windows and roofs, all of which woro" crammed to their capacity. Hundreds of thousands of specta tors shouted themselves hoarse al central points, like the Mall and the entrance to the Admiralty Arch- ! way, where the government stands hold a acore of thousands. So dense ly was lt packed with humanity that lt would not have been difficult to traverse the square walking on the hoads of the people. Tho tumult of thunderous wel come was almost deafening as the King and Queen passed on the out ward and homeward journeys, pre ceded in the first instance and fol lowed on their return by a stately, superb cavalcade of eminent princes, many themselves heirs to thrones; statesmen, diplomats, courtiers, sol diers, sailors and men of all hues, races and creeds from the four quarters of the globe. Tho great ceremony passed off unmarred by any untoward Incident. When dawn broke the skies were heavy and showers fell during the progress of the procession of royal guests and junior members of the royal family to the Abbey, but, as the King and Queen left Bucking ham Palace to be crowned, the heavens smiled and a flood of sun shine brightened the splendid pa geant. It was a proud day for the British Empire, hut of all its millions the one who perhaps had most reason to be proud was denied by court etiquette the joy of witnessing the triumphal event. At Sandringham Palace Queen Mother Alexandra, who forty six years ago this morning gave Bri tain a king, was awaiting the news that her son had taken his place In the long line of British monarchs.

Wilmington, Del., June 21.-Tho United* States Circuit Court for the District of Delaware to-day handed down a decision declaring that tho alleged powder trust, which is domi nated by the E. I. Dupont de Nem ? ours Company, is a combination in restraint of interstate commerce in j powder and othor explosivos in vio j lation of Section 1 of tho Sherman anti-trust law; that it attempted to 1 monopolize and monopolized a part of such commerce in violation of Sec tion 2 of the same law, and decree ing that the combination shall bo enjoined from continuing thlB viola tion and that lt shall be dissolved. The action against 'u> powder trust was begun by the government in 1907 and was directed against 43 corporate and individual defendants. The suit as to fifteen ot tho defend ants was dismissed because some of the concerns are out of existence or lt was not shown that they were par? ties to tho combination. To Plan Dissolution.

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S CAS TOR I A SCIENCE (?DOWS FLESH IN TUDE. Nervous Tissue Said to Have Deon Formed in Saline Solution. Baltimore, dune 24-Experiments made by Dr. Warren H. Lewis, of tho Johns Hopkins University, and Mar gare! Reed Lewis have resulted in the advance of scienco until it is ono stop nearerr the goal of chemists and biologists the artificial generation of lifo. By experiments made on em bryonic chicks Dr. Lewis has dis covered that lt Is- possible to induce the growth of cellular substance, actual living flesh, in saline solutions without the aid of nutritivo fluids. Dr. Lewis's plan of study has boen complicated. Knowing, as he did, that chemists and biologists have frequently observed cellular growth of embryonic substances when there was a plasma, or nutritive fluid pre sent in tho solution, ho decided to carry the experimenting one step far ther. Accordingly he took parts of the intestines of the chicks and in serted them in a solution of various sals of known density. Observation showed that not only did tho old cells enlarge, but that new cells were actually formud, and that without the aid of tho fobrln network always found In fluted plasma, which has been considered essential heretofore. Not only has there ^een cellular or muscular growth, out, lt ls said, even nervous tissue has been formed.
