HAVE SARROW ESCAPE. ^rs. E. H. Cliase and Miss Floride Cunningham Suffer Painful Accident in Washington. Washington, April 20.?What came Dear being a serious accident here late yesterday afternoon and what might >ave resulted in the loss of the lives -of two South Carolina ladies?Mrs. E. t B. Chase and Miss Floride CunningI liam?was narrowly averted by their & presence of mind. Mrs. Chase and | >riss Cunningham have been in Wash I ington for the past week attending the congress of the Daughters of the American Revolution. Late yesterday Jifternon they were crossing Pennsylvania avenue when an automobile came suddenly up and in stepping >)ack to get out of its way both ladies were hurled to ground. Policemen and bystanders quickly ran to their assistance and a hurried run was maiile to tne JtLimergency uusynai. There they were given attention and later were permitted to depart. When The State's corespondent called to see Miss Cunningham today sit 1705 Desales street it was learned, that while both she and Mrs. Chase were suffering from severe shock, that neither was seriously hurt and would probably be all right within a few days. Many South Carolinians today made L inquiry as to how the Palmetto State's "Jadies were progressing and likewise many Daughters of the American Revolution expressed their sympathy. It was only by the merest good for' tune that both Mrs. Chase and Miss J^pimningham were not more seriously injured. Suffragettes Go Before Stones. London, April 20.?The suffragettes "bad plenty of evidence today that the public had tired of militancy. At i "Brighton the suffragettes were chased off the esplanade and took refuge in Wa neighboring house. This was surrounded by howling thousands who Bombarded the place with stones and ^^mashed "every window . In defiance of the ban on meetings in Hyde park, the Woman's Social and Political union attempted to carry on v its propaganda there. London had anticipated that such attempts would be- made and 20,000 persons assembled at the customary meeting place. Xo sooner had a suffragette mountv?r>v on/i unfurled th> militants'1 *CU i?ur WA ciuu uiA.ut v.. than the police *nt-rfered. There j 'were a few cries of "free speech.'"! "'are we in Russia?" but the words "were drowned by hostile yells. Clods "were thrown and threatening rushes ?k\vere made toward the women but a large force of mounted and foot r>o-1 lice surrounded them and kept the. mob in check. "No sooner had the police escorted one I ^rroup of the women to a place of safety than others appeared from another quarter. It took the police three hours finally to restore order. Similar scenes were witnessed at Wimbledon and Hampstead Heath. An infernal machine was discovered T?v police early this morning in the doorway of th- Yorkshire Herald office at York. The wrapping inscribed crVotes for women" indicated its origin. TO TAKE UP ATACK 0> SIMS. iJloyer May be Charged With Contempt?>ViII Prepare Resolution. Washington, April 20?Forma] no^ Xice will be taken tomorrow morning ^ the assault upon Representative /"Sims of Teennessee Friday by Chas. D. <Glover, a Washington bank president. A dozen members of congress, includ ing most or th-e Tennessee aeiegauuu, conferred at the capital today and determined that an attack upon a member on account or an utterance on the Sfloor of the house was too grave a I -matter to go unnoticed. Represenlatives Garret and Houston of Tennessee were appointed a committee to \3raft a resolution to be presented when the house convenes tomorrow. It is proposed to have the resolution provide for an investigation by a committee of five to ascertain whether xhe facts warrant the arrest of Mr. <&lover on a charge of contempt of the Inonse. Some of those in the confer^?Mre wanted to order an immediate arrest, urging that the fact that Representative Sims was attacked while ??

J |7n a published statement Mr. Glover "has -admitted he slapped Representative Sim's face on account of the representative's reference to him in a speech on district legislation. This ?.bose who have looked up the ]aw andj precedents contend, constituted con-! tempt of the house. Various precedents are cited.

A case - - * 1 + ^ fVio regarded as n-eanv auaiuguus <.u mv j present incident was that of Samuel Houston, who in 1832 attacked Representative William Stanberry because of a speech in the house.

Today's conference was held in the offices of the house committee on appropriations and those present were Representatives Fitzgerald of New York, Sherley of Kentucky, Hardwick and Crisp of Georgia, Pou of North Carolina and Hull, Garrett, Houston, j \/rnir nl1o-n Pvrnoe Parlfrpft flnrl Austin I ; AVLIsJL!LC;J> ujiuvw, J? , of Tennessee. All present expressed the view that an act of contempt had been committed and the only differences were as to procedure. "The matter will be brought to the attention of the house immediately after it convenes tomorrow." said Messrs. Garrett and Houston, sub committeemen with whom the mattt-eri was left at today's conference. "So! far as the- personal indignity to Judge! Sims is concerned he has no disposition to take steps for redress but the I house has and he is not being con-| suited about the procedure in any; way." It was suggested tonight that if j Mr. Glover actually should be taken j into custody pending disposition of the; propos-ed proceeding tne way tvouiu oe i opened for habeas corpus proceedings j and possibly a protracted contest in; the courts. / ' I COMMIT MY SOUL TO JESUS." 11 1 11 Striking Confession of Financier's | Religions Faith. Is Characteristic, Say Associates. New York, April 18.?"I commit my soul into the hands of my Savior in full confidence that having redeemed it and washed it in His most precious blood. He will present it rauitiessiy before the throne of my' Heavenly Father; and I entreat my children to maintain and defend, at all hazards and at any cost of personal sacrifice, the blessed doctrine of the complete attonement for sin through the blood of Jesus Christ once offered, and through that alone." This is the extraordinary and strik-; ing utterance which begins the last; will and testament of John Peirpont j Morgan,;who died at Rome on March j 131, last, whose body, heaped over with flowers from the crowned heads j of Europe, was a fortnight later, i [ brought back to his own land and j last Monday was borne to its last resting place at Hartford, Conn. Interesting Testament. Ever since the funeral the publication of the great financier's last will has been awaited with keen -expectation and it is safe to say that of all the interesting testaments of eminent citizens of America, that of Mr. Morgan, to be offered for probate here Monday morning, is by far the most interesting. | As to the amount of the estate, i which is one of the first questions the j public naturally is asking, there is nothing in the will to give any accurate idea and the executors declare that no announcement will he made on this point until the appraisal has been made for determining the State inheritance tax. The amount of bequests and trusts, | named by specific sums, is under $20,-, 000.000 but the entire residue of the j estate is left to J. P. Morgan, Jr., who is designated by his father to become the chief heir not only to his fortune, but to his many charitable and artistic activities. Remembers Grandson. As to the will itself, it is unusual j I 1 j in many of its features, and, aecordj ins: to those two or three intimate j | friends who already have had a sliiiipse of it, it is a portrait of Mr. i Morgan himself, beginning with the. striking confession of his religious faith, a side of his character which j was known to his close associates.

Florence Negro fhnnred With Attempt to Murder.?Crowd Threatens to. Lynch. Florence, April 21.?An attempt, supposedly to take the life of a well r-,1 onH lior cnn Known j?'loreace wu.v axiu uv* j Ferdinand, at their home, 104 East Front street, this city, about 9.30 o'clock Saturday night, was made by a negro with the use of a part of a heavy steel "S" wrench. But for their screams, and prompt response of neighbors and members of th-e police force, both of them no doubt would hav been murdered. The husband, whn was at work in the A. C. L. Yards, I was apprised of the deed later in the of Police H. M. Brunson, who, wi~. evenipg. The story as given by Cmci Foreman Mack Worrell, of the chain gang, soon ran to earth the negro supposed to have committed the assault, is as follows: Story of Attack by >egro. The lady, the wife of an Atlantic Coast Line Trainman, and her 12-yearold son, were alone at their home. Some one knocked at the door and up- j on investigation it proved to be a ne- \ gro, said to be named Herman Kelly, | who had been sent there to buy milk, j He did not have a vessel to take the j miiv in smH hp was loaned a nitcher! which he was to return. Later in the evening Kelly returned with the pitcher and. according to the police story,! as he handed the lady the vessel he.J caught her by the arm ad struck her ! over the head with a part of a steel j "S" wrench, which is used by track j forces for tightening rail bolts. The; blow partially feiled her and she be-1 gan screaming. The assailant struck; her again and by this time her son, who had been asleep, was awakened i and he ran into the yard screaming. Thinking that he had probably slain the lady, the negro ran out after the boy, felling him. By this time neigh * >- J-T ? 1 ? ~ ~ J Dors D6ga.n lo tchcii uitj picice auu itaiing he would be caught the negro, supposed to have ben Kelly, ran through the back yard and attempted to scale a high fence to the side of the prem-1 ises. In doing so, however, a board j broke with him and he felj'heavily toj the ground. As he fell his arm was I caught on the end or a picket and the j skin torn off. In this condition, and j with bliod from his victim's wounds j smeared over his clothing, he made j good for the time his escape. It was not long afterwards before a j great crowd gathered and the police! officers proceeded to run down the; negro. Chief Brunson and Officer Wor-, rell followed a clue and shortly after i midnight, at the home of Jack Black,! whose wife is an aunt of Kelly's, they, arrested- Kelly, who is charged as being the man who committed the deed. Evidence Seem Strong. When arrested Kelly is said to have had the scratch on the arm which it is thought was made in the fall over the fence. The officers took Kelly before his victims, who identified him as being the right party. Keny was men camcu ^ the station house and later removed to the jail. By this time there were various rumors as to what would be done with him if the crowd could get at him. Throughout the day yesterday the deed committed was the talk of the town, and as the day grew into night squads of men who were seen talking soon '' gamerea iutu a. uunu. Rumors of Contemplating Lynching. Shortly after 9 o'clock it had reached some 150 or 200 men. It seemed ihat this gathering proposed to take summary action on Kelly; and not only Kelly, but the Mcintosh boys, who ,it will be remembered are in jail under the sentence of death for the murder of little. Andrew Jackson last February one year ago, and who are awauing the supreme court's decision, . I lynch the three of them at one time. About 10 o'clock a move was made and the crowd proceeded to the jail, and Jailer Bryant was called up. Upon opening the door several of the crowd called upon him to surrender the keys, which he refused to do, but which he was later forced to give up, and while held captive an atempt was made to gain entrance to the eel] room in which the cages are located, but it seems that Bryant gave up the wrong keys and the mob failed to reach their nrpv. Police Scatter Crowd. By this time a telephone message to the police station from the jail, or from some one in the neighborhood, reached the chief, who happened to be in the central station. With Desk Sergt. Jos. F. Turbeville, he hurried to the jail, and at the- same time the chief made a call for other men who were out on I their beats. When the crowd saw the officers coming down upon them they quickly scattered, and only a few re-.-.oinnr?
