stated that they were given to me in
confidence, but I have clothed them
with this character because I am satisfied
that unless at that time we were
t ~
on friendly terms he would not have
ventured to utter them. He did utter
them very freely and I suppose I
might be justified in repeating them
without his consent, so basely un
truthful has he been in ms aimuuc
toward me, because of the wilful lies
he has found it necessary to invent
in order to discredit the plain proof
"which I have produced in reference
to the Charleston graft situation.
"However, I shall not disclose these
"things unless in a manner ae public
* as this he authorizes me to do so."
BLEASE ISSUED STATEMENT.
governor Says Major Grace of Charleston
is at Liberty to Tell All.
Gov. Blease made the following reply
to the statement by Mayor Grace:
Columbia, July 30, 1912.
I notice in The News and Courier,
j in large headlines, "Grace Dares
"RUase to Let Him Tell All," and in
the article purporting to be from John
P. Grace he says that there are things
"which I have told him in confidence
"which he would love to tell if I would
release him.
I desire to state that I have never
made a confidant of John P. Grace in
any manner, shape or form. I know
that he opposed me in the first primary
two years ago, and I have never
Relieved that he supported me or
?ven voted for me in the second primary,
and, as I have before stated, he
.? vas appointed upon my staff upon the
request and upon the insistence of
Mr Roesler. I have never made any
statement in my life to John P. Grace
that I am not willing for the world to
"know, and he is at liberty to tell any??
-L- t "have* ovpr raid to
Tiling lie pitooco a "u,.v ~
him, but I hope that lie will confine
himself to the truth. He has never
been in the mansion that I know of
but one time, ^and that was when ?e
came to get a fine gamecock which I
gave him, and to request me to ap-'
"hie brother to a position in case
*
"war came oil with Mexico.. I have
never had any confidential talk with
f tim on any subject; have never trusted
him -because his eyes set too close
together in his liead and any man
who is any judge of -human mature
knows that that is a fatal sign to veracity
or strict honesty. So he is at
liberty to tell anything he pleases,
and when he belches it forth, if it is
the truth, I shall gladly admit it; if
i it is false I shall sure brand it as I
did his Charleston falsehoods to his
face and in a meeting where he was
surounded by his poiice force and
"by many -of his friends and supportel
s, and when he sat silent and grinned.
k STATEMENTS OF GRAFT.
H Witnesses Say Police Collected'$2,400,III
000 Last Tear;?Jack Rose Gives
Rp Evidence.
r
^ New York, July 30.?Sworn statements
tending to show that the annual
graft collected by high police
officials in New York from gambling
houses and other illegal resorts has
amounted within the last year to $2,400,000
are in the hands of District
Attorney Whitman tonight. The statements
were made to the district attorney
by "Bald Jack" Rose, self-accused
graft collector for Police Lieut"
IJeciker. head of the "strong am
j squad," who tonight began his second
day of incarceration in the Tombs
prison as an alleged instigator of the
murder of Herman Rosenthal, the
gambler.
This brought a yield of $2,400,000
protection money which was equally
divided, according to the story told
by Rose, among four high officials of
1 the police department, one of them
heir-s Becker and from other evidence
the district attorney has collected he
"has reason to suspect that each $600,4$
' 000 was further distributed. In other
words there were four separate systems
or bureaus of police graft each
headed by a high police official.
PATCH UP DIFFERENCES.
Editor Tictor B. Cheshire and Blease
Again Friends.
I Anderson, July 29.?Editor Cheshire
an.2 Governor Blease have gotten together
again, after their differences
of a few weeks ago. Mr. Cheshire
stated that their break was because of
a misunderstanding, and that he was j
mostly to blame.
The case of the city against Ches- j
hire for carrying concealed weapons j
will be carried to the circuit court on
appeai from the city court. The city
1 , refuses t? recognize Cheshire's commission
as dispensary detective on
several grounds.

JAPAN'S GREAT RULER !
' PASSES FROM EARTH
EtfPEROR JirTSlHITO EXPIRES;
YOSHITO SOW REIGXS.
After Successful Reign of 44 Years,
Japan's Sovereign Passes Peace
fully Away.
Tokio, July 29.?Mutsuhito, for
forty-four years emperor of Japan,
died at 12.43 o'clock this morning.
Yoshito, Haru-No-Miya, reigns undor
the formula provided by the constitution
promulgated by Mutsuhito, "the
king is dead; long live the king!"
Mutsuhito, who was the 121st em
peror of aJpan, passea genuy away.
He had been unconscious for many
hours prior to his death and the empress,
the crown prince and.the most
prominent officials of the household
and goverment were at the bedside.
Haruko, now Dowager empress,
yields to Princess Sadako, the young
empress, who is the mother of three
sons, of whom the eldest is Hirohito. j
? - i I
HaruKo nas won universal s>uipacuj
because of her untiring vigil in the
| sick room, where she remained coni
tinuously for ten days. Even on Tfcp
| last day she pitifully begged the phyjsicians
for a short respite for the dyjing
emperor.
Science Availed Little.
Everything known to science was
done to prolong the life of th^ sovereign.
The whole nation watched pa
thetically. The outcome was inevitable
from the first acuta developments,
July 19. Death was due to acute rephritis.
This was complicated by diabetes
and an intestinal affection. As is
usual in such cases, the patient on oc- ]
casions showed marked signs of im-!
provement followed by a relapse,
j Since July 25 the condition of the emJperor
gradually became worse, with
* A * ? -3 ?1 ?? nnlpA
nigri lever, wea& ami mcsuiai \<
and shallow respiration.
When the physicians recognized the
hopelessness of the case every preparation
was made for the end. The imperial
princess, the ministers and notables
were summoned to the palace
*
and remained in the outer rooms for
1
24 hours. A few of the oldest, wno |
have been closely associated with the i
I
^empire, were permitted to see the em- ,
peror, while the public, contrary to
custom, was taken into the confidence
of the physicians, who issued bulletins
hourly giving details of the progress
of the disease.
Sorrowful Subjects.
At the end upwards of 20,000 sub- |
jects silently paid their last homage 1
outside the palace gates. It was a marvelous
scene, when messengers quietly
mingled with the crowds and scattered
and posted announcements of
the emperor's death. Deep emotion
swept the multitude, but there was no
evidence of excitment. The only sound
was a long drawn sigh of sorrow.
Within the palace the death was
i communicated to the waiting imperial
i nrincess and notabilities, whereupon j
without delay the accession ceremo- i
nies were begun at the imperial sane- U
tuary at 1 o'clock. The shrine was dec- j
orated according to the Shinto rites
i Prince Iwakura, the chief ritualist,
j officiated, laying the offering on the ;
i sacred altar. He was assisted by a sub- j
j ordinate, who rang a bell while tha j
j offerings were being placed. The oath
was read in the presence of the ministers
of state,the councillors and
othpr dignitaries.

PRESIDENT TAFT "SHOCKED.* j
'
Felt Himself Personal Friend of:
1
Late Emperor.
Washington, July 29.?Upon learning
of the death of the meperor of
Japan, here, President Taft dictated j
the following statement:
"I am greatly shocked at the death;
of the emperor of Japan. It has been j
my good fortune to have met the emperor
as many as half a dozen times
and to have come into such relations
with him as his guest as to feel that
there was a personal friendship between
us. The emperor was a remarkable
ruler. He was brought to
actual power through the Shogun rebellion
and his life has measure'd the
wonderful growth and expansion of
[the Japanese Empire.
i "The emperor was a hard worker
and gave great attention to matters
of government. His genius for government
was shown in his selections
I ... "V ,
of generals, admirals and statesmen,
who have reflected glory upon the
Japanese nation.
"Rarely in the history of the world
has such progress been seen or can be
so clearly traced to the ability of certain
men who led in it and who were
the emperor's selections and enjoyed
always his support. His distribution
of offices, honors and titles was made
after careful comparison of the importance
of the services rendered. No
one who knows intimately the history
of Japan in recent years will deny to
Mutsuhito the real leadership of his
people."

Speaks.
Spartanburg Herald, July 30.
A political meeting was held in the
Spartan mill village last night and
was attended by a large crowd. Several
candidates for the legislature
spoke, and also one or two each for
State senator, coroner, snerifl: and register
mesne conveyance. Sam J.
Nichols acted as chairman, introducing
the speakers. After the last speech
he asked for a hand primary for who
was going to vote for Cole. L. Blease
for governor. All the hands went up.
The Jones men were asked to hold up
their hands, but none appeared. The
crowd greeted all references and allusions
to Blease with cheers. The
speakers were frequently interrupted
with questions and joking remarks. It
was announced at the end of the meeting
that another meeting would be
held on Wednesday night week at the
Spartan mill store when Sam Nichols
will give a detailed account of the
dictagraph affair.
A Personal Friend of Blease.
C. C. Wvche was introduced a^ a
personal friend of the governor. He
said he was g!ad to address the Spartan
mil' people fo^ two reasons, because
he had o.uce taught school at
West End, near them, and also because
he bad many of his best friends
among them. After condemning the
attempted cotton mill merger of last
year as an attempt to grind down the
mill people, he said he was glad to

enough backbone to vote for whom
they pleased. There was loud cheering
at this. He said that he'd vote
for Woodrow Wilson for president,
Ben Tillman for senate, Cole. L. Blease
for governor, and C. C. Wyche for the
legislature. . Again they cheered and
some one shouted "Pack your suitcase,
you're elected!"

to Open Headquarters.
Greenville, July 29.?A bureau to
advance the interests of Judge Ira B.
Jones in Greenville county will be opened
in this city tomorrow. The local
supporters of the ex-chief justice
feel the need of concerted action and
hence have decided to open headquarters
from which to manage the fight
in this vicinity. This action is taken
;ndependently of any State-wide Jones
organization
Two rooms have been rented in the
Cleveland bsilding, one of the best office
buildings in Greenville; a stenographer
secured and all preparations
made to distribute Jones literature,
send speakers over the county and in
other ways promote the candidacy of
Judge Jones.
The most striking feature of the
headquarters here is that the manager
o. me organization is u. neywara iviahon,
twice mayor of this city and until
recently an ardent supporter of
Governor Blease. Mr. Mahon's rupture
with the governor was due to the
Blease-King-Watson episode.
