ARIZONA PASSES ALIEN LAND LAW Governor Sierns Hill Which Prohibits Alien From Owning* Land If He Is Not a Citizen. Phoenix, Ariz., May 16.?Governor Hunt signed today Arizona's new alien bill. It prohibits any alien, > whether of Caucasian "or .Mongunau descent from owning land in Arizona if he has not declared his intention of \ becoming a citizen. The law bars not only Asiatics, who cannot become citizens, but also many wealthy Mexicans who live on the American side of the line, but ^ who have maintained their allegiance to Mexico. jV A vigorous fight was made to have the bill apply only to aliens ineligible to citizenship that Mexican holders of property in Arizona would not be af ' i J fected. There are few Japanese noiaing property in the State, but many Chinese hole titles and these, like the non-citizens among the Mexicans will be required to dispose of the real estate within five years. The law exempts only mining claims held by aliens or real property neces?sary to the proper working of mines. Representative Japanese conferred with the governor in an effort to induce him to veto the bill, but he declined on the ground that such a law in thp interests of the WclS U^v-cooaij white race. The governor added that the law was made to apply to all aliens in compliance with the wishes of the National administration as expressed to the California legislature. PISTOL DUEL IX KITCHEX. p Steward at Converse Collesre Shoots Xesrro.?"Wound 31 ay Prove Fatal. Spartanburg. May 15.?Two hundred young ladv students were badly frighten-ed, 20 negro waitresses were thrown into a panic and the principals L were each wounded as the result of \ a pistol duel between J. D. Cheshire, * -white, and John Mayes, a negro, in J the kitchen of Converse college this morning. Cheshire's wounds, while painful, are not serious. Mayes' condition at first was regarded as criti cal, but this evening an attendant physician said that he had an even chance to recover. J D. Cheshire is the steward at the college 2nd Mayes was one of the A helpers in the kitchen. For some time Mr. Cheshiie had noticed invasions on the pantry supply of provisions and as the result Mayes was discharged Wednesday. Today about the break fast hour at Converse college Mayes appeared in the kitchen and demanded his v\i?^s due. Mr. Cheshire, anticipating no trouble, went over the account and handed the negro the money that was coming to him. Having handed Mayes the money, Mr. Cheshire is said to have made a k v remark to the effect, ''That's right, t ^ isn't it? We won't have any trouble." It is alleged Mayes replied, while standing within three cr four feet of r Cheshire. "Xo, we won't have any trouble," and producing a revolver opened fire on the steward at close range. Cheshire grabbed the pistol as the negro leveled it and before it was discharged, and as he covered the muzzle with his left hand the ball entered the fiesh and passed through. His hand was also badly burned by ? the powder. Mayes, by a desperate wrench, managed to get his gun hand ,nftco tpnt nn firing. Realizing lVVOt. UUS4 *?vrv w what he was up against, Cheshire drew his own pistol and began firing. In all Mayes fired four shots, two of which took effect, oae in the left hand of Cheshire and the other strikv ing his breast bone and deflecting. Mr. Cheshire fired five times, -each bul let taking effect in the negro's Doay, ^ three entering Mayes' left arm above m the elbow and shattering the limb, ^ one bullet entering the left shoulder and the remaining one striking the breast and ranging downward. It is the latter ball that may prove fatal. Shortly after the shooting Sheriff White and Deputy Sheriff Vermon arrived at the college and placed Mr. Cheshire under arre't Mayes was carried to a hospital, wnere ne was , s attended by physicians, who dressed his wounds. His condition is not such as to make him apprehensive. Later on Mr. Cheshire was carried to the office of Magistrate Gantt, where he gave bond in the sum of $1,000, his sureties being Prof. B. 0. Hutchison of Converse college and E. L. Everett. The steward will claim self-defense as the reason for his shooting John Mayes. It is said that the negro ^ baker at the college made the state IIIM1L lUd(. iuaj\.j} iui uit. n ard and at the same time showed the baker his pistol. That -was Wednesday afternoon. At the time of the shooting there "were several of the cooks and assistants in the kitchen, and it is claimed they are all of the same mind, that Hayes opened firt on Mr. Cheshire. Th-e negro was evidenti ly disgruntled at his discharge and i went to his former place of employj ment armed. j J. >1. RICHARDSON SENT TO JAIL Former Candidate For Adjutant and Inspector general Arrested.?Arson is the Charge. Aiken, May 16.?Capt. J. M. Richard] son, a candidate for adjutant general three years ago, and until recently a member of the staff of the governor, was arrested today on a warrant charging him with arson. The warrant was sworn out by B. A. Wharton a d-eputy from the office of F. H. McMaster, State insurance commis &1UUC1 . Before daybreak Saturday morning, Airil 19, a barn and storehouse belonging to Mrs. J. M. Richardson were destroyed by fire. The buildings destrr*v-ed were on the lot on which the Richaids<.Tis reside. In addition t<; this teing the third fire on the Richardson pitmises within the past few years, an affidavit made by Martha Frazier, a negro woman, alleg-ss that on Thursday, a few days before the fire, she stored with Capt. Rich ardson a lot of furniture and houseI old goods; that the morning after the firu she was told by Capt. Richardson that her goods had been desrroy; ed; that learning that her effects had I beer, removed the day before the fire j to Capt. Richardson's farm a few | miles in the country, she located these j and under claim and delivery proceeding regained possession of them. Rich; ardson had insurance in the sum of , $600 which he collected without diffi| culty. j Deputy Wharton has been in Aiken I investigating events connected with I the fire for the past week cr ten days. Capt. Richardson was placed in jail today and stated late this afternoon that the charges against him are *y a "frame-up." He attributes his arrest to politics and persecution. He states that the furniture which tneFrazier woman stored with him had been taken under a mortgage held by R. B. Carter, but that the woman had paid the mortgage and he naa endeavored to get her to move her goods* and explained that a part of her goods had been removed to his farm several months ago because he had no room for them in town. I Until a short while ago Capt. Richlardson was commander of the local military company, the Aiken Rifles, which was mustered out of service a few months ago. In the buildings which were burned he had stored a lot of property belonging to tbe military company, and when the firemen arrived they were prevented from fighting the fire by the explosion of a large number of cartridges which endangered their lives. Capt. Richardson sustained a slight injury by the I ? explosion of one of these cartridges. A preliminary hearing will be held tomorrow morning at which time Capt. Richardson will apply for bail.

On the contrary the scope of the home will he enlarged and henceforth, it will be run on a firm, business-like financial basis.

The majority report, providing for closing the home and placing orphans * L* ? at in tne denominational vi ??.ua..u.?&w ? the expense of the Grand Lodge, and the minority report providing for the continuance of the home near Greenville, and urging a more liberal support, were discussed before the Grand Lodge this morning. At the conclusion of the arguments, and with several resolutions, dealing ] with orphanage affairs before the body, the matter was recommitted to ;thc same committee for deliberation, ! and a new report. 4 /I Ami/ul TTnAnimAiiL'lv .\UUJliru i uaiiiiuvu^iji The nev%* report provided that the ori ti phanage be continued; that a competent superintendent be engaged and ; that he be required to give satisfactory bond for the faithful performance of his duties, and that the superintendent make monthly reports to the board of trustees in itemized form I showing the receipts and expenditures and detailing the outstanding indebtedness. The report further recommends that the trustees be required to make quarterly reports to the grand secretary, who, in turn, shall submit copies of the same among the subordinate lodges. rrv,'> ?

When this actio:.i was :al:en one I earnest member of the Grand Lodg? IV arose and asked the men present to show their love for the orphanage in dollars and cents. A collection was taken, which amounted to $100. The Odd Fellows of Richland county agreed to pay $400 of the $2,500 inid-fbtedness of the orphanage ar.d the Greenville lodges pledged to pay $300. Langrley Succeeds Blease. Governor Blease, who declined reoo ? trnctpp nf the omhan ^iCCLJLUll CIO CL wA um?W v* ^ age, pledged to-support two of the orphans. S. A. B. Langley, of Columbia, was elected on the board in the governor's place. I The speech of Governor Blease on the orphanage matter, when he arraigned severely T. U. Vaughn, former superintendent of the orphanage for his base conduct, had telling effect in the movement to keep open the orphanage. After the newly elected officers were installed the Grand Lodge adjourned. Surveyors Are At Work. Spjartanburg Herald. A surveying corps, thought to be j working und-er orders of the chief * r>?nAn,ri*]iQ Q-rtorrnri i engineer 01 me uiccimm,, 1 burg and Anderson railway, have been running lines from Saxon mills in a south and southeasterly direction, i The appearance of these surveyors has i occasioned considerable conjecture, j It has been advanced that a line is being mapped out from Saxon Mills to Roebuck for connection with th-e Glenn Springs right of way to Glenn Springs, and thence to a connection with the Seaboard Air Line at Prides. "This appears to be reasonable," ; said a business man this morning, "and it is probable," he continued, "that the Interurban has seen a good opening for further activities and are availing themselves of it." To those who are interested in the grading of a 7.ine from Spartanburg to Glenn Springs, thence to Cross Anchor, this is encouraging news, but on the other hand there are many who desire to see the line connect with Glenn Spring\ via Cedar Springs and Walnut Grove. It is pos! sible that the line from Saxon to Roebuck is one of several surveys which will be made tending to the building of this line. n ?. - - -Nobody Knowi But God. When R-epresentative Mann, repub, lican floor leader in the house, rose I ! to object to a certain democratic bin tye remarked that his opponents had forgotten the pledges made in their campaign platform. Their performance, he said, reminded him of a little boy who memorized an inspiring poem to be delivered at some public exercises given in the town school, relates the Sunday Magazine. - - ? "Nobody knows but God, and me. began the little boy, advancing boldly down stage. Then he repeated in a thrilling voice "Nobody knows but God and me." Again there came a pause, and locking his left leg round his right, and squirming in mental agony, the boy screamed. It was the first tragedy of his young ttoc life. A lump as big slg an appjc in his throat. He -aced disaster and failure, 6tark, immutable, and grim. In one last despairing effort, he yelled: "And nobody knows but. God." i Asi It tells you ho phone line wit same high-class _ . ! J now enjoyed d If you hav tell you how t You do not ob Address ne?
