Action Precludes Annual Lu ramp
ment of State National Guard,
Columbia, Jun'. 24.-The United

at the letters of Governor Blease,

your communication I am forced to
the conclusion that you leave the
war department no other course to
pursue than to withdraw all Federal
assistance to the organized militia of
South Carolina, and lt is with great
regret that I have to inform you that
such action will be taken Immedi
ately," said Secretary Garrison In a
letter to Governor Blease to-day.
"This announcement is very pleas
ant to me. I fought this Dick law
when I was In the Senate, and 1 have
seen the wisdom of my opposition
since, and nothing gives mo more
pleasure than to see South Carolina
relieved from its Iniquitous provis
ions," ?aid Governor Blease.
South Carjlina has been getting
annually about $75,000 from the
Federal go- ernment for her militia
and it wan this fund which was
counted en to defray the expenses
of encampments. No State funds be
ing on hand, the encampment will
have to ho abandoned.

FIFTY INJURED IN WRECK.
District Attorney, on Scene, Demands
Immediate Investigation.
Rochester, N. Y., J ne 22.-Fifty
Parsons were Injured, somo of them
seriously, when a Pennsylvania rail
road excursion train was derailed^
near Sterling station at 9.30 o'clock
this morning. The train 'was filled
with excursionists bound for Olea,
Kock City and Bradford. l?a.
While the train was running at
.bout forty miles an hour three of
: he five coaches left the tracks, roll
ing down an embankment. As it
Minded a curve the smoking car left
lie track, followed by all but two
roar coaches. The locomotive also
remained on tho track, breaking
?way from the train, after dragging
.'he coaches about two hundred feet.
Physicians and nurses were rush
ed to the scene from Rochester and
'lu i' nearby towns, and tho most se
riously injured were hurried to hos
pitals at Sonyea and /In this city.
Practically all tho injured were resi
.?nts of this city, lt is not believed
ty of them are fatally hurt.
It was said that District Attorney
Ft K. Cook -.. ., refused permission to
examine the wreck when ho arrived
the seem Railroad officials had
thrown a cordon of employees about
i', and Mr. Cook could not ?et within
!ownty feet of thc nearest car. Mr.
' ook said lie had every reason to be
llev? that bad ties wero directly re
. ponsible for the wreck. The track
? mst ruction was very faulty, he de
clared.
After tho district attorney had re
turned home, a message brought him
word that the railroad men were go
lug to burn the ties for a hundred
.?ards on both sides of tho wreck.
Mr. Cook, accompanied by Sheriff
Acond, rushed back to the spot In an
automobile. They found that the
ties had been thrown togethor In an
adjoining field, but a railroad man
.said this was done to get them out
of the way. Sheriff Acond demanded
that the officials refrain from burn
ing any ties or cars. Mr. Cook has
requested the public service commis
sion to conduct an Immediate investi
gation. .
MT. MCKINLEY SCALED AT LAST.
Archdeacon Stuck Puts Church Em
blem on Summit of Highest Peak.
A dispatch from Fairbanks,
/ laska, June 20th, says:
The ascent of the highest peak of
Mount McKinley was accomplished
for the first time, June 7, when the
i arty Jed by Archdeacon Hudson
'tuck, Episcopal missionary for
Alaska, accompanied by Robt. O.
Tatum, H. P. Karstens and Walter
Harper, reached the top of the south
peak of the mountains, the highest
on the Continent.
The news was received to-day by a
lessenger sent by Dr. Stuck, who is
esting at the base camp. Dr. Stuck
nd his assistants erected a six-foot
i ross on the summit of the great
mountain. Observations made with
he mercurial barometer indicated its'
height is 20,500 feet. Archdeacon
stuck confirmed the ascent for the
aorth peak by Thomas Lloyd and
hree companions in 1910, being able
vlth field glasses #to see the flag staff
erected by the Lloyd party.
The message sent by Archdeacon
Stuck Trom Fairbanks said:
"Expedition successful. Accom
plished first complete ascent on
Mount McKinley June 7th. H. P.
Karstens, R. G. Tatum, Walter Har
per and I reached top of South
(the highest of all) peak on a clear
day, when lt was possible to read all
the angles of the mountains and
other prominent points and make
certain that the peak we had con
quered was the highest of all.
"We successfully carried a mercu
rial barometer to the top and made
complete readings and observations.
With field glasses we clearly saw the
flag pole erected in 1910 by the
Thomas Lloyd party on the North
peak. After completing observations
on the summit we hoisted the Ameri
can flag on the upper basin, erected
a six-foot cross and said 'To Deum'
on the highest point of North Amer
ica.
"The Northwest ridge ls tho only
possible approach to the summit.
Duo to tho violent earthquakes of
last July, the higher ridges were ter
ribly shattered and this added large
ly to tho danger, difficulty and labor
of the ascent. We spent three weeks
in continuous bad weather, hewing a
passage three miles long through this
side. This was tho chief cause of de
lay. The chief credit for our success
ls due to Karsten's good judgment,
resourcefulness and caution. We did
not have a single mishap."
